Best food near me in East Village, NY

Every dish and cocktail was incredible! They had amazing vegan options - the sun dried tomato roll was 10/10

We came to this place under the premise that the food was outstanding based on the Michelin rating and social media touting that the food was comparably to that in Thailand…..this was the reason we booked. The service was lovely, everyone friendly and attentive which is always appreciated. The shrimp pancake appetizer was an interactive delicious experience. The rose quartz drink I had done virgin and enjoyed. The shrimp pad Thai was delicious, noodles done well, very tasty. The Wagyu pho was recommended and underwhelming honestly. We enjoyed both of the desserts we ordered, the crème brûlée and mango ice cream served with sticky rice….this was a highlight for us. Would I say Value….Probably Not.

Very accommodating. We changed from 2 to 4 people without a problem. Food was amazing. Some of the best pasta ever!

Visited this gem yesterday and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Food 8/10: Frogs Legs 8/10- Absolutely delicious! Fried light and crispy. Very juicy and well seasoned. Highly recommended Patatas Bravas 8/10- cubed French fries with sichuan spice and aioli- sooo good and a great appetizer to start with Iberico Pork Collar 8/10- this was a surprise. I don't usually eat pork however this reminded me of thanksgiving ham made with pineapple. This is a must try! Mushroom 3 ways 7/10- loved this but I will say that if you're not a fan of mushrooms then this dish might not be for you. Crispy Chicken Sandwich 9/10-( must order with the Korean Buffalo sauce)- the absolute star of the show. Juicy, well seasoned and the Korean buffalo sauce complimented the sandwich flavor profile so well. I would say that it's a better than most chicken sandwiches I've had. Drinks/ Dessert- 9/10 Pandan Punch 9/10- I loved loved this drink. The presentation is pretty basic but everything the presentation lacks, the taste makes up for. It's both sweet and earthy but I couldn't stop myself from devouring it. Please try this! Chai Trea Leche- 8/10 I'm a dessert girl so I take my sweets very serious. This was a great spin on the classic tres leches. Although I do wish the cake was soaked a bit more than it was. The rum caramel whipped cream was sooo good I basically licked my spoon clean. Service was on point. All steps of service was hit and our waitress was cool, polite and efficient. We could not have asked for better service! The only thing I noticed which made me a bit uncomfortable was that the host constantly walked around glancing over my brothers shoulder, rather closely to see just how gas into the meal we were. I understand that there was an influx of guests that begun arriving and waiting to be sat however this was happening throughout our meal and couldn't shake the feeling of being rushed as I was actively enjoying my meal. All good otherwise.

The food here is excellent. Try the guacamole and chips! Super delicious.
