I was a little weary trying Ichibans. I've gone to Benihanas before and was really disappointed, and after reading jjn867's comment, I got worried it was going to be just like Benihanas. I'm am so glad that I didn't pay attention to that review. Ichibans is THE BEST!!! The food was wonderful! My husband and I both had the Superior (came with everything) and our kids had the kids meals. Ichibans is now our family's favorite restaurant! Our chef was so funny and very entertaining... my kids are still asking me if they can try the egg trick! This is definately a place you need to try for yourself and make your own decision. Personally... I LOVE IT!!!
Pros: Great chef, beautiful atmosphere, awsome service
Cons: Parking

This place has terrific food and a nice ambience. The food, which I order on the mild side, is always done right. I especially like the vegetable biryani and the alu tikki. I would highly recommend this place. My parents absolutely love the chicken tandoor; it always comes hot and fresh. Give it a try. I realize others say that they they have found better Indian restaurants in this area, but I have never heard them mention one!
Pros: Delcious food, good buffet, nice bar
Cons: Somes a little noisy

I have relocated to NY and everytime I come home, I have half of a thin crust medium supreme pizza from Broadway Pizza. It does not get any better! People think in NY with all the Pizzerias that I would find better but trust me... if you like bland, no seasoned, so much grease you fry fish in it type pizza, then go to NY. If you want fresh, seasoned, crispy thin, even take home a non-baked one for when you are in the mood and don't want to drive to get one type of Pizzeria, then RUN straight to Broadway Pizza! :-)
Pros: Food, Ambience, Staff
Cons: Are you kidding?

I have to been to Harvey's a million times, and am feeling compelled to finally write a review. Harvey's is always, always, ALWAYS a blast!! My friends and I usually only head here on special occassions, basically, when we really want to get drunk. The $2 drinks from 9-10, and $3 drinks from 10-11 always assist in accomplishing this task! The music is pop/house- great for dancing. Harvey's definately has a bar & grill type feel, with a nice location in the warehouse district. Also, a note on the food, I have only eaten here once- on New Years Eve 2006, and didn't really care for my food, in fact I swear I got sick (from the food, not the drinking). But most of my dining companions only had great things to say.
Overall, I would definately give this bar a chance if you like downtown action, but are a little leary of super-trendy see-and-be-seen type bars.
Pros: Cheap drinks 9-11
Cons: parking

New King Buffet is a very well established restaurant. Great food, I love the Mongolian BBQ, their staff do very well with asking if me and my company need anything, I get my refills when I have 1/3 left, even when they don't notice I ask and get a refill in a couple minutes. I would rate this restaurant with 5 Stars. Don't let the bad reviews turn you away. I don't know why people dislike the place. I know that once in a blue moon I will get a bad experience, like cold food, incorrect beverage, over-cooked Mongolian food, but other than that, you cant let one bad experience go to your head.
Pros: Mongolian Buffet
Cons: 1/20 bad experiences with food

Hey Bloggers, I'm the buddy. If you want some Asian food that's A.O.K., look no further than Eastern Buffet.
General Tso's chicken was juicy and tender, the egg rolls were scrumptious, and the fortune cookies were the perfect happy ending!!!

The secret to getting great food and great service at this place is to go during its non-busy hours. Avoid lunch and dinner times and save this place for the later hours. The atmosphere is much more relaxed at this time and the food is usually steaming hot and the buffet is well stocked. They are, however, often out of cheese stuffed mushrooms, but they usually offer lots of General Tso's Chicken. They food always tastes great, and the fruit options are usually very fresh. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and they are always cleaning. The prices are a little steep, but the food is usually worth it. Take-out is also a convenient option as well, with food priced by the pound. If you don't mind the lunch rush, lunch hour take-out is usually the best value for the money. But be warned: on more than one occasion I have seen one customer take the entire tray of something and the staff will not bring out another tray until that customer has left!!!!!!
Pros: Good food, great people, clean environment, reasonable prices, great General Tso's Chicken
Cons: Mean fat lady takes all the chicken for herself...

I was just there today and found the food hot and fresh. The bins full, the place was clean and busy. they didn't mix old & new food, they replaced the whole bin.
The manager was a working manager, on the move, smiling, and busing and lugging and working. They had 2 people watching, filling and cleaning the hot and cold food bins.
I think the trick to this and other buffet's is to get there at the start of the meal when the food first comes out of the kitchen, and the place is fully staffed.
Nothing fancy here, but I stuffed myself with good food - I'll be back.
Pros: Cheap, Hot & fresh, no surprises
Cons: same stuff every day

This place is a cut above the rest. The only place around that serves crawfish every night. I did their takeout, once i got inside the ONE box i had just was not enough, and left with 5 pounds of food. The ONLY thing that they did not have that many dont is beef Lo mein (spell check maybe) they only had vegetable. I did takeout so eat in at your own risk. the service did look to be a little slow, as the cashier sat 5 tables away chatting up with some over madeup pre-madonna.
Pros: Nice selection and tasty food
Cons: Service looked a little poor

Really good indian food. There are lots of options, including tons of options for vegetarians. The food is fresh and not bathed in grease. The vegetarian sampler dinner was a wonderful assortment of what they have to offer. The atmosphere is pleasant. The service is excellent, albeit a little overzealous at times. All in all, a nice and delicious experience
