Regardless of stars, Rhong Tiam is definitely worth a try if Thai food is something you crave. Not only can you dine in, you can also take out. If do however, decide to drop by, I would recommend going at night time, as it does seem to have a more lively ambiance that Zagat and Time Out would reward.
I’ve always disliked the Michelin Guide’s view on Japanese food, but this time I thank them for introducing me to Kyo Ya. While there are better places for Sushi, Omakase, or Yakitori in Manhattan, from an overall perspective, Kyo Ya is hard to beat. I think I have a new favorite Japanese restaurant.
ocated in the East Village, not too far from the bustling area of St. Marks, I felt ashamed how I’ve driven by this place so many times without paying attention to it. Better late than never. The restaurant felt more rustic and warm than the trendy Oyster Bar, but had the same casual upbeat vibe. A stack of fresh oysters submersed in ice by the bar assured us that this was going to be just as fun and delicious.
