    Japanese eggplant
    Ally R.

    I dined at Shoo Shoo UES for the first time last night and was pleased with the experience overall. Around 9:00pm the restaurant was busy and quite loud, however, the food and service were very good. I do wish it wasn't so hard to hear the person on the other side of the table, but it is what it is. Ordered: Moroccan Mint Tea ($16)- we ordered a large pot. It had fresh mint leaves, raw honey and rose water. I'm really not fond of rose in my food or drinks but this tea was enjoyable. The rose wasn't too strong. Hummus ($15)- this was one of the better hummus' I've tried in NYC. It was creamy, sesame-forward and balanced. They give you one pita which really isn't enough given the portion of the hummus. Extra pitas are $2 each. Japanese Eggplant ($21)- this was the one dish worth writing home about. Wow. With the freshness from the watercress, salty and briney flavor from the feta, sweetness from the silan, smoothness from the super tender Japanese eggplant- this dish was my favorite. I felt the price was high given the portion size. Chicken schnitzel ($29)- the schnitzel (thigh) was moist which was so appreciated! There's nothing worse than a dry chicken breast cutlet. It was sesame crusted with a generous amount of sesame seeds. It was crispy and not too too greasy. I think I'd order it again. We couldn't decide between fries and mashed potatoes so we ordered both. The mashed potatoes were so rich, smooth and creamy. I loved them! The fries were also tasty but weren't anything special. Baklava ($8 for 3 pieces)- the baklava was good, a little syrupy but not so much so. I prefer the ones I get at bakeries in Astoria but it was a nice way to end the meal on a sweet note. I enjoyed my visit to Shoo Shoo! The food was very good and the service was even better. I just wish it wasn't quite so loud, but it's a nicely appointed restaurant and a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

    Met up with friends here for brunch on a Saturday. They were accommodating to an infant stroller at our table and even lowered the loud music a bit which was nice. Service was attentive and friendly. My husband and I shared the shoo shoo breakfast platter and the schnitzel plate. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Schnitzel was definitely my favorite and the fries!!! So yum. We'd definitely return.

    Went to the new Shoo shoo location on Upper east side. Was excited to try it. Nice bar area and they have alot of seating in the back area. There are some tables up front. My friends and I enjoyed our meals and drinks. I had a side of the challah bread which they toast it was good. I had an omelette with lots of greens in it. It was good. The Tea was amazing! I am so glad my friend had us get a pot of it. Also, the Israeli pickles were awesome. I would come back here.

    A wonderful addition to the UES. I came in for brunch and ordered their signature breakfast shakshuka, absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly soft and paired beautifully with the poached eggs and rich tomato sauce. The waitress was warm, attentive, and we had a great conversation. The ambiance is cozy and classy, I'd be happy to return.

    Checked out this new Shoo Shoo location in the UES and had a great, satisfying meal! It was packed on a weeknight but I still managed to get a reservation. Started off with their version of baba ganoush. It's chunkier than others I've hard, and less creamy, but I liked the flavors and seasoning overall. The addition of the harissa added a nice kick. The warm pita was solid. For mains, the branzino schnitzel was simultaneously crispy and flaky with well-seasoned and nicely fried fish. Love how it wasnt too dry and went well with their tartar sauce. The harissa burger was good too. Patty was tender, well seasoned. The Israeli pickles offered more savoriness which I enjoyed (instead of the tartness that traditional pickles typically brings). I did feel like I had to add additional harissa sauce to get more of those pepper flavors nevertheless. The shoestring fries were tasty and crispy! We got the roasted cauliflower as our veggie side. While I wish it had more of a char flavor, it paired well with the citrus flavors and the light tahini sauce. I really wanted to try the hot pistachio knafeh but we were so full since portions are pretty big. The space is pretty big with two areas. The front features the bar with more lounge vibes while the back has more regular tables. Staff were polite. Food came pretty quick!

    Dined here for the first time and found it extraordinary. Wish Yelp enabled me to leave more than 5 stars!! This is a new restaurant that recently opened on the upper east side as an addition to a restaurant already existing downtown. The space is large, well appointed and comfortable. Service is absolutely amazing. A large is staff available to tend to every need without being overly obtrusive and the owner takes a personal interest in meeting with customers. There is an excellent wine list and a variety of top shelf spirits. We tried one of their specialty cocktails (Es Vedra) and found it very satisfying. The appetizers are easily shared and awesome. The hummus is thick and served warm -which brings out the flavor - and nicely seasoned. The Japanese eggplant appetizer was a very unique dish which was our favorite. We also ordered the Lamb Rague appetizer as an entree. The meat was tender and tasty. The grilled branzino was excellent, cooked and seasoned just right. Our only complaint was that we were too full to sample the desserts!

    Japanese Eggplant

    A great Israeli restaurant on the UES with a fantastic burger. We had; Hummus - excellent hummus, wish they gave some more pita bread with it though. Japanese Eggplant - fried Japanese eggplant in a watercress salad with feta cheese. Very good, the feta paired nicely with the eggplant. Harissa Burger - an excellent burger, make sure to add the cheese. Served with a nice portion of fries. Shoo Shoo is a casual spot for a very good dinner.

In addition they will send you about 5 reminders leading up to your visit. The last one being 30 minutes before your arrival. In addtion you only have 90 minutes at a table .

The biggest question then became, where to go? We needed a place that was relatively easy to get to that would hold close to 100 people. Jungly was a contender for several reasons - it's location, size, vibe, and menu all seemed to check off. It also helped that I had done business with the owner previously at one of his other spots. It seemed like the natural choice, so I went ahead with the booking. Jungly is located in LIC - it's a pretty convenient spot as its close to the LIRR and the subway. Parking can be a challenge, but luckily I found a spot only a block away. The space itself is nicely set up - walking in you're immediately greeted by the bar area with dining areas both to the left and the right. Due to our size, they closed the place to the public and we were able to freely roam the bar area and one of the dining rooms. In addition to standard tables, they have some lounge space and high tops by the bar. The vibe is somewhat modern - a black/grey color scheme paired with neon and golds. It looks like the space could easily be converted to a club-like atmosphere. Since we were here for a private event, the food was set up buffet style - we chose three apps, four mains, and two sides. Ultimately, for apps we chose pita bread with dips, steak tacos, and shrimp tacos. For mains we chose fried chicken sliders, smashed beef sliders, cacio e pepe, and roasted chicken. For sides, we got fries and Brussels sprouts. In general, all of the food was tasty; the strongest dishes were the tacos, fries, and the chicken tacos. The tacos were generously filled, the fries were the crispy skin style, and the chicken sliders were nice and crispy. The weakest for me was the cacio e pepe - not much flavor and just not really a standout IMO. My communication with management to set up the event were a little staccato, though in the end everything worked out. For the most part, my communication with them was consistent in the days leading up to the event. Service the night of the event was overall good - they were very accessible but I found that they could have replenished the food a little faster in response to the rate it was being taken from the buffet. The bar, on the other hand, was great - both in service and variety of liquor available. Overall, we had a great event at Jungly. They were professional, fair, and delivered on the goods. I would definitely consider hosting another event there, or dine here on my own.

The bartender, the one person who should be welcoming and engaging, came across as rude and lacked any charisma. On a Friday night, good energy behind the bar makes a huge difference, and that was completely missing. I ordered a margarita, which is one of the simplest and most common cocktails to make. I asked for it really sweet with plenty of salt on the rim. Instead, it came out barely sweet and with almost no salt. For a $17 margarita, I expected much better. I've had to return the drink because I've had better margaritas for $12 at other places. While waiting for my friend, I had to wait with a glass of water because I didn't trust the way they made the drink. The bartender told me I either needed to order another drink or move, which felt unnecessarily rude and unwelcoming. To be fair, the food was good and the space itself is nice. However, the bar service left a very poor impression. There are plenty of more affordable places where the staff are friendly and make guests feel welcome. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. Give this place a 6.5
