well, this is basically just the second time I'm ordering all of the places I've eaten (and also the places that I'm interested in eating *wink*) Lol, as you already know, I've been trying to organize my whole list since its be a wee bit messy...OK FINE. I mean a whole lot messy since the last time I looked at it. Lol, next thing you know I might actually do a real blog later on the places I've eaten and hang out lol. Well, who know? Maybe, well, probably the only chances of me actually doing that is when I get a phone that takes good pics. And hehe, maybe I can be the Ninja Munch or something lik that lmaoo its pretty corny though. But oh well, that's gonna be a lil bit in the future cuz phones are just pretty annoying to handle especially with those contracts if you know what I mean. But I have to say, they are pretty useful to have on you. But yeah, this is basically the 2nd ordering I'm gonna be doing on this blog. Wow, now that I actually think about it, most of the time I keep going back to this blog is because I need to check on places I've eaten and places I've hanged out in. Huh, pretty interesting. Crap, I would type in Korean but I'm forgetting it now damn it!!!! LOOKS like I need to catch up again cryyyyy; damn why does Korean gotta be so difficult wahhhhh. But god, please help me to be fluent and be able to remember communicating in this language!!! sORRY, but I'll try to come back more often for entries!! Well, let's get back to business; see yah!

City Island: an Upper- Bronx Island that has very expensive food but really big portions, and most of the restaurants are Seafood based. Lunch is a lot cheaper, and there really isn't much stuff to do there. I would recommend going to a restaurant in City Island but next to Orchard Beach. It gets very cold during the night so definetly bring a jacket! Good for a celebrating expensive occasion
RATE: 3.5/5
Full Moon Pizzaria
>a lil pricey place to eat in Little Italy, Fordham Bronx and lol yes, it's pizza. BUT ITS GOOD PIZZA. There are tables to wait in and out of the restaurant. *I recommend eating outside though with a nice weather* Lol, and it teaches its customers to be patient for at least 30 minutes. However, the pizza is big and try to bring like only 4 ppl, no more and plz lets try no less. Though it was crowded, the service was good, but watch out for the time; cuz after 30 minutes, you gotta pick dat pizza up lol. Oh and even better, (lol don't take advantage of dis) you can pay after/b4 ur done eating. Take your time, there's no time limit :D
RATE: 3.7/5
Merryland Buffet
>a spacious buffet in Fordham that's only like just $10; however, this place gives you a time limit of two hours. The food is pretty good and the place is not dat crowded to the point of suffocation lol, and not noisy to the point of not hearing ur companion. Beware: this place is near an optical place and is like at the side so watch carefully :D
RATE: 3.5/5
Primavera Café:
>a homey and clean spacious café in Fordham that has like everything; I love the sandwiches which are about 6$ for the large, circular bun, including a pickle and the remainder of the plate: chips <3 they even have a lil mini buffet and they have desserts, smoothies, salads, and have a menu of variety :D

Chelsea Market
>a large place that has a beautiful architecture of a real market, and it is great for people who love to eat esp when its EXPENSIVE, for people who want to explore a lil like 30-45 minutes, and for people who LOVE to cook! I love the ambiance of this place since it's so chill and laid back, and furthermore its like a block away from the A Train! However, I suggest not to bring like a whole group, only just like up to 5 people because this seems to be a tourist spot (well of course!)
(75 9th Ave at Between 15th and 16 Streets
Meatpacking District, Chelsea)
RATING: 3.3/5
Congee Bowery Restaurant & Bar (in btw Soho and Canal st{Chinatown})
>lol, don't b 2 overwhelmed by the classy spell-rich atmosphere. that just shows how freakin great the place's environment is! HOWEVER, AS A WARNGING, LOOK OUTSIDE 4 A PAMPHLET OF SOME KIND: those contain the cheap prices. THE ONES INSIDE? DAMNNNN EXPENSIVE IN DAT LARGE MENU. they provide free tea, and their cheap foods are good! its very spacey and the ppl who run the place r pretty great ok :D
RATING: 3.3/5
Eight Turn Crepe - Japanese Twist Crepes
>Chinatown (Literally, right across the 6 Train)
Halal Guys Restaurant
>a pretty cheap place that sells good Halal food in a pretty big serving! Beware: their spicy is spicy (its no joke) They have around 2-3 tables and a long side table by the wall! Recommended to bring at most 4 people with you!
RATING: 3.8/5
Mila Cafe
>a pretty good breakfast and lunch place that serve decent-good dishes in big quantities! Warning: CASH ONLY!!
NYONYA
>dis place in a malaysian cuisine restaurant in Chinatown. Even though the food was at least alright. The shrimp and squid balls were delish and the pad thai which is a little spicy. The service was really good, i have to say i was pretty impressed. mi friend had ask the waiters to charge and check on his cellphone n they willingly without much apparent complaint did. They were very attentive and the atmosphere was really nice and comfy. Oh, but u also have to pay the mandatory 10% tip here though. I wish I had hit their lunch special(11-4 PM) though, it would have been only 6.96. Oh n dis place does doggy bags n the plates range from decent-large. I was unfortunately not really dat satisfied wit their cold meat though n i love cold meat so dat wuz a bit depressing. But it would b good to come back, good service n good hot food!
RATING: 3.5/5
Paris Baguette
>a small lobby: has sweets BUT the second floor: good drinks and nice casual dining area, and the 3rd has a large nice dining area!!! cute but a lil expensive Korean cafe! TRY THE CRONUTS!!
42nd Times Square Manhattan (Near NY Times, and Midtown Comics)
Koreatown
(basically like a street or a neighborhood which is Korean related!!)
BCD Tofu House
> a 24 hr, large spacious restaurant that has pretty decent-big portions and have like around 7 small but free side dishes. They have a well know TOFU stew which is know to boil like crazy when you first get it and if you crack the egg on it, its like it'll cook there from the heat. Yeah, it seems to be that hot.
BEWARE OF THE SPICE LEVELS TOO.
Mandoo Bar
>a nice looking small place to eat Korean food! I have to say I do like their noodles and soup dishes which I tasted from my friends. However, I didn't really like the rice dishes. The presentation of it being steaming or actually frying hot is VERY IMPRESSIVE. However, I don't really like how parts of my dish was burnt (at first I didn't mind when it was hot, but as it cooled down, it was unsatisfying) I would recommend bringing 4-6 people at most!
RATING: 2/5
Woorijip Authentic Korean Food
>VERY CHEAP; The place is decently big, and it has multiple tables and chairs for people to sit; however, when my friends and I got there, it was pretty busy and full. There will probably be a line at the cashier, but the wait will be pretty short. The place is pretty much full of plastic containers of delicious Korean food! I got the bulgogi and mushrooms with wild rice. I wish I could have the japchae noodle but I was literally close to broke so I just got the bulgogi one instead! The quantity for it was pretty big considering its cheap price. I wish the bulgogi was more softer, but oh well, I guess comparing it to a homemade fresh bulgogi might be cheating. I think for that big bowl with either a side of a small water (not recommend getting - way too small), kimchi (def get if you're into spicy) or a salad (which is actually pretty good and decently sized [def recommend]) is DEFINATLY AWESOME FOR AROUND $7. They have multiple other things which I would want to try!!
If there are no available seats, I would recommend sitting at the small park at the edge of Koreatown.

Ba Xuyen
>cheap and delicious Vietnamese sandwiches!!!! Recommended to take out and eat at Sunset Park!
Dehli Heights
>a semi- formal restaurant in Jackson Heights that contains mid-spicy to spicy Bengali food: my most favorite ones were the somosa and chicken mosala. The buffet SPECIAL cost like 9.95 but the part that really irked me was that you also had to pay for their service which was just fetching water and utensils; like what the hell, I could do the same thing ugh. If you're into spicy food, then come in. My friend recommended the Jackson Diner nearby but it was like 11-something dollars; hmm, I'll try it next time and bonus: no pay for so-called waiter service.
RATING: 3.7/5
Kai Feng Fu
>(Brooklyn version of Prosperity Dumpling) Recommended to take out and eat at Sunset Park!
Masake
>an Asian Fusion restaurant in Brooklyn of Thai and Japanese food. Food range from decent-sad yet edible; the thai 56 wuz pretty ok but in big quantity and the shomei wuz lacking and few in #; <3 RECOMMENDED: THE CHEAP FRIED ICE CREAM LIKE THE RED BEAN FOR 2 SCOOPS :D
Service: Be forewarned; these people take a long time to get your orders and prepare them! Make sure to come way early if you want to catch their deals!!! If not, they will wait till after the deal is done and then prepare your order. As a result, YOU PAY MORE.
RATING: 2.3/5
Roll N Roaster
>A very spacious and nice diner that provides a pretty long range of American good tasting junk food such as burgers, fries, milkshakes etc. Their menu is very cheap!! Everything was practically around $5.00!! This place is pretty kind of in the middle of nowhere though. You will have to take a train, bus, and then walk there. Its close to Coney Island according to like a few train stops and some bus stops and some walking blocks.
RATE: 3.8-4.2/5
Samurai Mama
SkyIce Sweet & Savory
> a small place that is well known for their very unique flavors of icecream (offers over 18 unique flavors of ice cream and sorbet) It's $6.50 for a 5 scoop sampler and $9.50 for a 12 scoop palette of your choosing.

Golden Mall
>a small place in Flushing dat took me at least an hour 2 find ugh! and its real address and the one online is just a bit different which STILL CAUSED ME FREAKIN PROBLEMS. the real part is the 41-28. there are actually 2 of them which makes it confusing but the good one is at the basement and its hidden door is at the corner of the st which is across a supermarket: it might be called sparkling supermarket. well the menu's mostly noodles and there's like dumplings, hotpot, bbq and other stuff. Most are decently priced but some are overpriced. like the bbq, is more expensive and less tastier than the street vendors, and the stewed pork bun is overpriced with good meat but tough bread. I didn't really have a good experience so mi review is biased. I might come back to get a better exp or not cuz im just too damn lazy. well, there are other restaurants in flushing that I found interesting its like across the fork of Main ST and up and around up the hill of dat outter fork.
This is the second review of the Golden Mall. Well, now that it was a lot easier to find; I'm not as negative biased as before. I have to say that they have a pretty good range of tasty dumplings at a cheap price! Also, I noticed that practically everything there is less than $10. They give you sitting which is nice, but its pretty cramped in there! There's like around at least 6 food stalls where you can order from which is pretty nice. I'm still curious to try their hotpot because its like $20. That pork bun of their though is pretty good though!! I would suggest going if you wanna explore and branch out your tastes. Note: if you are going with people who are new, unsure ==> then you should give them recommendations. Pretty good place to go to for cheap food especially when you're hungry!
RATING: 2.7-3.8
Kimganae Korean Restaurant
>(Flushing, Queens) *Big Platters, Great Service, Good Food*
Minnis Shabu Shabu II
>a pretty spacious place where you can have individual pots of soup (shabu shabu is the jap version of chinese hotpots!!) They have diffferent types of soup stocks such as one that tastes similar to miso, kimchi, and spicy stock. They also have different varieties where you can cook your own meats, seafoods,and vegetables! They also have a pretty decent range of sauces at the large sauce table! The place is pretty clean and spacious as well. I think the biggest tables could hold 8 people!
Just to let you know, its best to have shabu shabu/hotpot with those who are close with you or at least the people you can talk a lot with! That way it'll be fun especially since you guys will be cooking your own food! It'll be even funny if the people who eat with you don't really know hotpot! They will ask you questions and maybe just plainly try things out! Note to self: most likely if you guys order your own set of food to cook, it'll be a lot! They give you the basic large set composed of cabbages, mushrooms, corn, eggs, pumpkins, and fishballs before you order. Then you can add meat or even more vegetable sets onto it by buying which shabu shabu you want. Don't worry about running out of soup too! They'll refill your soup stock!! If you're stingy, then make sure you have your own set with you! But still, its fun to mix and share with your party!!! Also, to help you out, put thinly sliced meat first and then take them out then vegetables and leave them in. PUT NOODLES LAST! Exceptions: put the root vegetables first such as carrots, potatos, daikan, and put the corn first! They add flavor to the soup!!!!!
T-Swirl Crepe
>Flushing; I have to say this Japanese place is pretty small, but it has a nice ambience. I tried their crepe and I have to say its pretty delicious lol. The crepe looks very presentable too and if you want to watch, you can see them make crepes. There are a couple of seats where you can sit inside too.
