house of Dog Review: ‪#‎gkrmhunt‬ ‪#‎rarestakes‬ If you wants really good hot dog house of dogs is the place to go. The place is set up like an old fashion yet hip place. With all the old fashion coke signs a jukebox it makes your dining experience super cool. Had hot dogs with fries there twice and both times they were amazing! The chicken schnitzel was also delicious! I also ordered dessert one time it was s'mores that you make your self they give you gram crackers chocolate and marshmallow that you get to melt your self over a fire, it was super cool! And very yummy. I Would go back!

Chosen Island is definitely one of the all time finest restaurants in our town. But remember, you MUST have a reservation especially on a Sunday night or you will have to wait. You can probably make a reservation through GKRM and avoid hanging around the front of the restaurant till a table becomes available. The dumplings are the best appetizer and you can order their peanut dipping sauce which is really the BEST!! They also have the best sushi and the best combination rolls. The lo meins are all awesome and we order it on Thursday nights as a side dish for Shabbos when I'm crunched for time.

Last winter I got together with an old friend in Spoons of Boro Park. Spoons is an elegant, yet decently priced, dairy restaurant and is conveniently located on 13th Avenue. Despite being busy that Saturday night, the service was pleasant and quick. We had some delicious, fresh salads. I like that this restaurant has many choices from fattening to healthy (with healthy dressing choices). They have pastas, paninis, salads, fish and of course, sushi! Although I had a salad when I was there, I would be happy to return to try some of their other delectable dishes. I've heard good things from others about Spoons BP, too. Thanks for the delicious and pleasant meal!

Milk 'N Honey is a place with a variety of different foods for one to choose from. You could get anything from breakfast to lunch or supper. For breakfast you could get a coffee or tea with a cookie or Danish or real food like pancakes, etc. For lunch or dinner, you choose a bagel/sandwich with tuna, cream cheese and more. You could make your own salad with many different dressings or even make your own pasta. You could also order sushi or pizza and much, much more. Milk 'N Honey definitely has a large variety of dairy foods and is a great place to stop by for any meal.

Mike's Bistro is a high class restaurant. If one has a business meeting, date or wants to treat someone to a fancy dinner, Mike's Bistro restaurant is the place to go. The atmosphere is nice, peaceful and quiet. The portions of food are large enough that a pair of two could just order a few starts and share them all. The service time at Mike's Bistro is fast. The lighting and light music in the background makes for a romantic atmosphere for a date to get to know each other. The food is eloquent and tasty. I had a great first date experience there.

Kosher Deluxe is a great fast food restaurant. There is a sushi bar and a fast food section. Food is speedily made, packaged and ready for either takeout or for sit down. There are a lot of cash registers which keeps the lines moving. There are also a lot of chefs to cook the food, making for a short wait time. The food is very affordable and tasty. There are fresh hot foods to order or pre-packed sandwiches, fruit or desserts from the fridge. If you need a quick lunch or dinner Kosher Deluxe is a great choice.

Jerusalem Cafe has a variety of food options, such as, pizza, pasta, salad, fish, etc. My friends and I go all the time for someone's birthday. There are options that accommodate everyone's diet and preference. There is a lot of space that could accommodate a big party. The couches make for a more comfortable and relaxing meal. From the time you walk in, order and then sit down, the time is barely a few minutes. There is enough staff to take your order and make your food, which then allows you to sit down with your food in no time; this, for me, is a great aspect I look for when choosing a restaurant.

Eden Wok has a big variety of foods. You could get a soup, Chinese, sushi and more. The restaurant has a great and friendly atmosphere. It is a friendly place; a place one could just sit with a bunch of friends, chill out and read a paper or to bring your family to. If you work in the area, Eden Wok is a great place to run to during your lunch break. They have fast service and they also give you an option to set up an account with them and/or create a tab; this makes for an easy and more convenient payment method. Whether you just want a drink or a meal Eden Wok staff with greet you warmly and welcomes your stay.

Wolf & Lamb is a place for both families and dates. The staff there was very nice and hospitable. When I went there on a date, during one of their busy times, the staff was still able to be nice and accommodating; they gave us an option of which open table we wanted, even though it would�ve been faster for them just to place us somewhere. The food was delivered fairly quickly. My water glass was never empty as the bus boy was on top of always refilling our glass. When going with a party there is also an upstairs section. If you would like a restaurant that is a mix of family oriented and fancy service, Wolf & Lamb is surely the place to go.

 If you would like a restaurant with diverse accommodations abilities, then Mr. Broadway is the restaurant to go to. If you wanted food to quickly order and take out, takeout food they have. If you’d like to quickly sit down and grab a bite to eat, then Mr. Broadway can accommodate. And lastly, if you’d like to reserve for a party, with waiter service and nice accommodations, no matter the size of the party, they could supply for that as well. Mr. Broadway has options for fast food and items for those who like more class. Despite which dish you’d prefer, they are equally as tasty and definitely a restaurant to check out.

China Glatt is in a great location on 13th Avenue. It is very elegant and a nice place to eat out for a special occasion or a lunch out with friends or family. They have a variety of Chinese and sushi dishes for all different tongue tastes. I attended a bar mitzvah there years ago and it was really beautifully set up and the food was delicious. I was also there for a birthday party and "just stam." The food is so good! Most times we eat there we go for the Pu-Pu Platter -- you just can't beat being able to taste so many different dishes. I would definitely recommend this place to others!

Corner Cafe is located on the corner of Ditmas Avenue and Dahill Road. It is one block from the train station on McDonald Avenue. I used to work in the neighborhood of Corner Cafe and popped in there several times for lunch or snack on the go. Although it's been a few years since I was there, I recall that I appreciated all the choices and how clear they were presented. The dessert section was very appetizing. The prices were decent. The staff was friendly. Although I haven't had the chance to eat there in a while, if I would find myself in the neighborhood and was going to eat out, I'd definitely consider Corner Cafe!

I have had the good fortune to eat at Spoons in Flatbush several times. Its location is great -- right on Avenue J and East 29th Street. We tried several different dishes the few times we were there. The wraps and paninis are delicious and flavorful. If you like cheese, like me, you will have a hard time choosing between all the delectable choices! The salads are fresh and yummy. When we were there for my birthday, I had to take the cheesecake dessert to go because I was stuffed from all the yummy food. The dishes are nice sized, which is great. I would definitely go there again for a special occasion or just a day or night out with friends!

My class had a get together (reunion) in Cafe Renaissance a few years ago. This fine restaurant, located on Kings HIghway near East 8th Street, was chosen because of it's delicious and elegant dining. We were given a nice, roomy area for our class. Things were clean and well presented. The food was delicious. There were so many options to choose from. All the appetizers, salads and mains that we tried were enjoyed. We had Tiramisu for dessert and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The prices might be slightly higher than some other cafes, but it is probably because of this is not JUST a place to eat out. It's a place to dine out in style.

I have been to Nu Cafe 47 a couple of times and was impressed each time. Located in Boro Park, its convenient location was a choice location for the two sheva brochos I attended there. The sheva brochos I attended there were set up elegantly. The food was delicious and there were many options. I especially appreciate how Chef Abie has so many choices for people on different diets or who have food sensitivities. There are also many healthy options for the health-conscience. When I dine in Nu Cafe 47, I don't feel like I'm eating out "junk" fast food but rather tasteful, healthy nutrition. This is a great place for eating out or to make a simcha.

Both myself and my husband have had the opportunity to visit Sushi Tokyo on Kings Highway in Brooklyn recently. My husband tried the black pepper crusted tuna roll. It was so delicious he had no problem downing it in less than a minute as per Elan Kornblum's challenge. My husband is definitely looking forward to going there again. As for myself, I stopped by there to take a costume picture and sing the national anthem. The staff was quite friendly and amenable. The restaurant seemed very comfortable with plush cushions and a few more private seating areas. Their platters were gorgeous and they seem to function well under the pressures of a large order. I caught them at a busy time. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Raffaello Amore Italiano has really delicious and unique pizza. All the slices are thin and square shaped with interesting, tasty toppings. The truffle oil slice with mushrooms is absolutely amazing and the potato slice is yummy too. I took my nieces and nephews there for lunch and they wanted to order more pizza after they had finished their first slices. It's conveniently located in midtown which makes it a good place to go for lunch if you work in the area or just spending time in the city. The store has a pleasant seating area and looks pretty clean for a pizza shop.

The best way to maximize your experience at Prime Ko is to order lots of appetizers and skip the mains. Not that the main dishes are bad, but the appetizers are much better and you get more for your money. I’ve been there many times and my favorite dish is the Tuna Tartare. Prime Ko also makes really good mixed drinks and they will customize one to your liking. The decor is very nice and it is a great addition to the Upper West Side since there are not many upscale restaurants here. Nice place to go for family dinners, dates or business meetings. — at Prime KO NYC.

Review for Chagall Bistro ‪#‎gkrmhunt‬ ‪#‎rarestakes‬

Chagall Bistro is a charming French restaurant in Park Slope. The ambience is very pleasant; cozy and dark with fresh flowers and candles on every table. The waiters and managers are extremely gracious and friendly. But the food is really special - so beautifully plated that you almost don’t want to eat it and spoil the presentation. When they first opened I was there with my family and we had mixed feelings about going back. Some of the food wasn’t up to par, but I think they have vastly improved since then. I am glad I gave it a second chance because I really enjoyed my dining experience and everything I ordered was delicious.

Dining at the NU 47 Cafe is a great experience. I enjoy indulging in healthy treats that are pleasant to the palate. The restaurant is run by the very friendly Abie and his wife. Abie has been educated as a chef in fine institutes and because he was watching his personal nutrition, he invented recipes that are recommended for diabetics, and people who suffer from other ailments such as celiac disease. Some popular desserts are cookies and muffins that work as appetite suppressants and will keep you satisfied for hours. Recently Chef Abie was a guest on the Rachel Ray show discussing his wonderful creations. Nutritionist recommend hid products and buy them wholesale to resell to their clients. Cafe NU 47 is well worth the trip!

La Gondola was a beautiful restaurant to dine in on a weeknight. The parking was easy and inexpensive compared to some other LA restaurants. I'm glad I had a made a reservation because the place was packed by 8pm. The staff was kind and helpful the entire evening. The atmosphere was loud and elegant at the same time. Definitely a place for families with children. We ordered the Antipasto De La Casa, BBQ Beef Ribs, and the Chicken Tapas. The food arrived quickly and it was presented beautifully. The Antipasto consisted of stuffed grape leaves, olives, mushrooms, peppers, and eggplant salads. This dish is for people who enjoy salty food. One order of the BBQ ribs was more than enough for two people. The ribs and chicken tapas were delicious. La Gondola is nice break from cooking.

Sushi Tokyo is a quaint restaurant on Coney Island Avenue and Avenue J in Brooklyn. I've eaten there on a few occasions and I have also gotten food to go. Instead of a bread basket one is given a bowl of edamame. The eating area is cozy and the staff are friendly. Besides for sushi they also serve an assortment of soups including some traditional Japanese soups like miso soup, which happens to be my favorite. I also enjoyed their vegetable rolls mixed with avocado and crunch. I'm happy that they offer an abundant of rolls with avocado because really enjoy eating avocado. So, of you are looking for a healthy affordable meal, Sushi Tokyo is a good place to go.

We frequent Tibierias in mid town often. We have a current student at Stern and a graduate of Stern who now goes to Suny Optometry school, both are close to Tiberias centrally located restaurant. We love to visit them and go out to eat at Tiberias. The food is fresh and tasty. My entire family would agree that a lunch or dinner at Tiberias is filling and healthy. I like to order the salmon, with the stir fried veggies on the side. My girls like the salads. My daughters seem to always be at Tiberias to celebrate their friends birthdays .Tiberias is definitely a great chose for your all your dining pleasures!

great food! :)

I have had two experiences with Prime Wok n Grill since they switched ownership, one positive and one slightly negative. The first time was back in September for my son's eleven and a half birthday, but also to celebrate that he had been learning daf yomi (daily Talmud), with his father. We ordered some specials consisting of soups, a main and either fried rice or regular rice. My son ordered his usual Chinese choice, sesame chicken with white rice and was quite satisfied. I ordered lo mein and my husband ordered beef and broccoli. We all enjoyed our meals. The restaurant was rather empty due to the opening of another local Chinese restaurant, so we got a lot of individual attention. The second time I had ordered food to go. Unfortunately, the food was not packaged well and the soup spilled all over and they had also forgotten one order. Additionally, the manager misunderstood and did not give us the specials. I felt like the meals cost way too much for takeout. Though, I do have to ay they were very kind and replaced the soup, gave us the missing order, plus a credit for a future order! :-)

Ready to Roll is my favorite place to get lunch in Flatbush. There are a lot of restaurants and takeout places conveniently located near my office, but I choose to go to Ready To Roll because their food is terrific. When I'm in a rush or have a short break I will order in advance through their website and the food is always ready to pick up just 10 minutes later. The sushi always tastes fresh, the wraps are delicious and there is also a fantastic salad bar. The staff is very pleasant and efficient, which is why I keep going back there!

Today was my first time at Sushi Tokyo on Kings Highway, and I was very impressed. The restaurant was larger than I expected with nice seating areas - not like all those tiny little sushi places that can be found on almost every block in Brooklyn. As soon as I walked through the door the staff was attentive and super friendly. Right away they asked how they could help me. I got a spicy tuna avocado roll - the ingredients were extremely fresh, especially the tuna, and it tasted great too! I would definitely go back to Sushi Tokyo if I am ever in that area.

On Coney Island Avenue, betweens Avenues J and K, Sushi Tokyo is in a great location and one of my favorite sushi stores. They are open late hours,so if I in the mood for sushi late at night, I know where to do. I recently had their Coney Roll and Bagel Roll. I regretted sharing them and not buying more! It was so fresh! Their Miso Soup was yummy and healthy-looking. I especially enjoy their kani salad. The staff is extremely pleasant and store is clean. I compared their menu to another neighborhood sushi place and saw their prices were better, as well. I would definitely like to go again soon!

During my Great Kosher Restaurant Scavenger Hunt adventures today, I found myself doing the kishke tempura sushi challenge at Sushi K bar in Boro Park. Normally I would not have gone to the trouble of traveling to Boro Park, but I was intrigued by kishke tempura. I have not had anything but cooked fish or veggies in sushi. Well, I must not have been the first one to come for the challenge, because the man behind the counter was very pleasant and let me take pictures and just told me to do what I needed to do. This will be another place that I will need to come back to. There are definitely some more sushi rolls that seem intriguing to me.

Today I had quite the gastronomic adventure. While on my way to a challenge clue, from the Great Kosher Restaurant Scaventer Hunt in Boro Park, I decided to stop at Cafe Paris on 16th avenue in Boro Park. I went in just to take a picture with the takeout menu and potentially an owner, manager or chef. What a sweetheart the owner was. She asked me about the challenge and invited me to eat something. She brought me a spinach soufle with a side salad. It was quite good! I definitely look forward to tasting more the next time I am in Boro Park! Next time, I'll even pay!
