You can't really pin down what this food is, because they incorporate many cuisines: szechuan, cantonese, hunan and shanghai.The food is beautifully done, and that's just the regular menu. Take a look at the specialty menu, because it's no joke. One of the dishes (Beggar's Chicken) actually requires 24 hours notice, something to order when you're really trying to impress someone.

First off, a lassi is lowfat yogurt with a some sugar and anything from coconut to cardamom mixed in. Do yourself a favor and order your food before you head over here so you don't have to wait. For one, it's really small and has no tables to eat at anyway. Secondly, those stools usually hold the bums of other people that called ahead and are waiting for their food, just like you.

in a cheerful place. It specializes in Japanese style nabemono, which has you swishing your food through boiling broth, hence the name shabu shabu, which means "swish swish." They offer fish, poultry, beef, lamb or pork, which arrives sliced (but raw) along with shabu shabu vegetables: cabbage, tofu, mushrooms, sprouts, and tomato(???). Once your food is brought to the table, cook up your private pot of boiling water, which you can season with a choice of flavorings. The traditional way to eat shabu shabu is to swish vegetables and meat until they're cooked, remove them then dip them in sauce. When that's gone, you dump a handful of noodles in the broth and finish up the meal as a soup.
This is almost as close as you can get to being in Japan without jumping on a plane...

I would wear shades while walking in here, it's bright. But other than that, if you're into falafel, this is the place to go (althouh there might be an outcry from those that love Mamoun). Since...
I would wear shades while walking in here, it's bright. But other than that, if you're into falafel, this is the place to go (althouh there might be an outcry from those that love Mamoun). Since there is not much space, it's lucky that it's close to Union Square, which is great when the weather is cooperating.

Seriously. This place is like getting a backyard BBQ food, but not having to invite your annoying neighbors. Everything here would be at home in a backyard on the fourth of July, yet you don't have to clean out your grill. Anytime day that you want, even if it's raining or snowing...nice.

you KNOW that the food has to be good. Even vegetarians can get their southern grub on with the sides they serve, too. But the majority comes here for the fried chicken, catfish, curried goat and meatloaf. You can't go wrong here for lunch, the specials start as less than $4. Nope, don't want any fries with that...

I didnt' give it 4 stars for the ambiance, but for the tagteam of the great food and low prices. It's like a latino greasy spoon. You can get your food one of a few way: at the counter on a stool, to go or eat it here at a table. Regardless of what you order, most likely it will come with yellow rice and black beans. No alcohol, but you can always get some on the way home.

From Philly, no less. It's small, but you're not here for to shoot for Better Homes & Garden, you're here to eat. Do yourself a favor and ride 2 or more in the car (one to drive, one to run in, throw the money and grab the food), so you don't get ticketed or towed. I dare you to eat one fo the sandwiches by yourself.

Nice to have a place that you can get great food and it won't break your pocketbook. I wold rave about the mac & cheese, but it's so good, that I can't get enough of it to eat. (Hide it in the back...

Who says that nothing good ever came out of Brooklyn? Well if anyone around you says that the answer to that is nothing, you can point them here. It's signature sandwich is absolutely divine, and so is everything else on the menu. You can't even go without their cottage fries and cheese. No, really, it's on the menu as a MUST. And they go with everything (that's my story and I'm sticking to it, don't send your trainer over here).
