Amber: Pad Thai and green curry were great - would definitely go back!
Zeba Siddiqi: Beautiful decor, great tasting food! Do try pandan leaves chicken, Pad thai & Tapioca dumplings. For vegetarians they use oyster/fish sauce,pls check with server to modify :)

Abdulrahman Fetyani: Concrete jungle banana ice cream is so delicious 😍
Jessica: My ultimate favourite Shake shack location. Since it's at the park, it can be much less crowded (vs. indoor locations) and you can eat outside when the weather is really nice!
Time Out New York: Not to be missed: French fries dipped in salted caramel, a.k.a. the stuff stoner dreams are made of.

Maria Styles: Great lounge & bar area & main dining area is stunning. My favorite dishes are the dim sum, lobster fried rice, rib eye & crispy shrimp and the crying chocolate & the coconut creme brulee for dessert
HBO: Sex and the City happened here. "So here's to the groom, who finally got Carrie-d away." Carrie and Big had their wedding rehearsal dinner here.
Mazda: Two words: edamame. dumplings. Fluffy dumplings with a touch of truffle oil, delicious!

New American Restaurant · SoHo · 457 tips and reviews
Gillian BenAry: chef is Andrew Carmellini. Totally packed, so reservations are essential. Killer wine list, great raw bar, fantastic food and stellar people watching. A good place to feel the energy of NY. Open late
Time Out New York: Try the little oyster sandwiches. Sesame-speckled buns each cradle one fat, crispy mollusk, iceberg lettuce and a smear of pickled okra sauce. They’re one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Anna Frenkel: pretty awful experience with the staff here; servers and manager. if you care about being treated like a human being when at a restaurant, don't come here.
