Hillary R. • September 24, 2011Start with homemade soft tofu and then yuba dipping soba. Finish with green tea affogato (green tea ice cream with concentrated green tea sauce and corn flakes).

Jovana O. • April 1, 2015Have one savory dish & one sweet then SHARE. Never had pancakes as fluffy as these, waiters are nice, wait is 1-3hrs but they text you when you're table is ready so you don't have to wait outside 👌

F. B. • November 14, 2018Sietsema: 1 of 2 Teochew restaurants in C-town. Duck is braised and presented with a vinegary dipping sauce; Cambodian/Viet soups. Bean curd skin stuffed with shrimp & deep fried. Very comfortable.

Melody H. • January 24, 2010Dim sum gets super busy around 11am on weekends, but worth the wait to come at noon when they bust out the goodies: snails, clams, tripe (along with the usual dumplings and shumai). So cheap, too!

The Corcoran Group • August 19, 2013A great place to come for classic Italian comfort food - the rice balls and meatball sliders are must-order dishes. For those with a gluten allergy, they make delicious gluten-free homemade pastas.

The New Yorker • January 28, 2015“The menu has only a small selection of dishes explicitly designated as soup, but many others are liquid-based and served atop Sterno flames, accompanied by small bowls for sharing.”

Adrian P. • February 4, 2016Old school restaurant that doesn't take reservations. The mushrooms stuffed with crab meat are a good snack. Be sure to get a paella though, it's big enough for two. Cheap cocktails, around $7 here.

David Y. • July 3, 2013certifiable stainless steel heaven

Abner A. • October 26, 2013This place is the best Mexican food I've had in New York. Go for the Bistec Tacos, you won't regret it. 100% stand by my word.

Karl H. • August 21, 2010A quaint throwback with excellent strudel and a fine selection of schnapps. Try the Apfel Schnapps with a glass of Hofbrau!
