"Manager"/bartender with glasses working Friday night was beyond rude and had zero customer service skills. She was clanking glasses and snapping “are you done?” while we were ordering, and got aggressive over something as small as grabbing an orange from the bar. Even though she was rude, the guy I was with still tipped her $20 because he thought she might just be having a bad day, unfortunately her attitude stayed the same. Girl please get a new job, customer service is clearly not for you.

"World's Most Expensive Bodega" 100% saw a mouse running through the store this morning when I needed to pick up a couple things. Everything is so expensive, and the selection continues to dwindle.. especially if you are vegan/vegetarian. Many of the shops and features that made this place semi worth it have been closed down indefinitely.

$10 for a small mid matcha is robbery.

$13 bucks for ramen on Fremont Street!! There's probably no better value than TOMO noodles downtown. I hope they don't raise their prices, because the ramen is totally worth it. The flavor, quality, size portions is all there for the tokontsu noodle bowl. I have no complaints at all. I went when the place was empty so not sure if the quality declines if they were busy. The food came very fast. Plenty of places to sit and dine in comfort at this food hall. Needless to say, i was surprised by how good this place was. I had tempered expectations given the low price for this ramen bowl and I was pleasantly surprised. The Laughing Lion on Youtube 😻.

** Be Aware, There Is No Elevator ** We found this hotel after our NJ airbnb got cancelled 2 weeks before our trip. We needed a suite room and my husband found the Sohotel. We really loved this hotel and its Vibe. Very clean and the staff was accommodating. Husband uses a mobility scooter but is able to walk very short distances so the hotel allowed us to store his scooter on first floor while our room was on 2nd floor. Check in is on 2nd level. If you cannot do stairs or have a scooter, baby stroller you will have to carry it up or store it in storage room on main level. Staff were great with letting us in/out of the room when needing the scooter. Rooms were adorable, small but doable. Very very clean. Small fridge. Air conditioner could have worked a little better to cool the room, while I was fine, the remainder 4 people of my group preferred it a little cooler and air was on max. We survived though. Loading/unloading luggage is not available, they have no official area to do so so you will likely have to do it swiftly while stopped in the middle of Broome Street. Hot coffee/tea available in main lobby. Very close to subway stations so easy to get to main attractions. If you fear taking the subway please don’t, it is so quick and easy to use, way cheaper than an Uber/Taxi. Location is not close/within close walking distance to any big attractions, Be prepared to walk or take subway/uber.

This was hands down one of the most disappointing dining experiences my family and I have ever had. From the moment we walked in, things felt off. The restaurant was barely busy, yet we waited about 10 minutes just to be seated. Once we sat down, it took nearly 10 more minutes for our server, Jameel G., to even acknowledge us. In that time, we’d already picked out our appetizers and entrées—still no water, no check-in, nothing. We had to flag down other staff members just to ask if someone was assigned to our table. When the server finally appeared, he dropped off chips, poured water, took the appetizer order, and disappeared again. He returned after our appetizer arrived, only to quickly pass by with a “how’s everything?” and vanish once more. It felt like we were on our own the entire time. Then, things got worse. My daughter found a piece of hair in her drink. We tried to bring it to a manager’s attention—but couldn’t even locate one. After a few minutes, we asked a staff member to notify the manager, who was apparently standing up front. It still took another 5 minutes before he came over. When he finally arrived, he apologized and said he’d “take care of us.” But it felt more like a scripted performance than real hospitality. Suddenly, the whole staff came alive—busboys cleaning, the server reappearing—because the manager was watching. But once he left, it was back to neglect. Even at the end, our server refused to refill our water. No apology. No real effort to make things right. Just pulled out his handheld payment device, processed our bill, and walked away. I think the expectation was because he was standing there, I'd be pressured into tipping him the suggested 20-25%. There was a 15% discount applied to our $68.35 check, totaling $11.32—but that small comp did not begin to make up for the lack of care and the unsanitary experience. Date of visit: May 24, 2025 Check #275 | Table 17 | Server: Jameel G.

We were SCAMMED! Expensive as hell!! we were charged multiple things without prior notice, such as a service charge 15%, a floor charge of 40$ and other things. When asked about it, they claimed it was standard practice and weren’t able to provide us with an unanimous response about the charges. Some claimed it was tips, another waitress said it was state regulation, …. Moreover, on top of it all, we had to pay an extra 10% tip because the waitress claimed the tax service was not part of the tip!!! RIDICULOUS. Trust me, you don’t want to go to the Hudson Yards Tavern. Additionally, the food was acceptable at best and the music was too loud. All things considered, I would not even recommend the Hudson Yards Tavern to my worst enemy.

Beautiful Setting. -Initial waiter interaction very good although he spoke quite fast and hard to understand as he rattled off specials. Once server took our order, he was never seen again. Not ONCE -"assistant" helper was attentive and friendly. -Food was delivered while I was in the ladies room. Left sitting on the table, it was cold and I did not eat it. Server NEVER came back to check. A person dressed in a suit came over and seemed to ask if I was ok yet when I answered, he was already walking away and paid no attention to my response. - A FULL meal was left untouched and a bus person cleared it away, no questions asked. -My husband accidentally knocked over his full glass of wine. (we had purchased a VERY expensive bottle) NO ONE came by to offer him to PURCHASE another glass and I had to get up and find someone to help us clean the table from wine. A little splashed onto neighboring table, we sent them dessert to apologize. They were never told we made that gesture? Rather odd. -Last, we were celebrating milestone anniversary. I had stepped away to the ladies room again... a cute decorated plate (no dessert on it) was left in front of my husband on the table. I wasn't even there?? -Very very bad service. This is unfortunate as we are local patrons and would have loved to have this as a new go to restaurant.

The first thing you have to know is that Travelle is in the Langham Hotel, which is part of a chain more familiar in Asia and Europe. The reason you need to know that is that me and my wife were the only diners from opening at 5 till about 7, when a few parties wandered in, but prime time for dining was more in the range of 8 or 9 pm. Not that this detracted from our experience, but if you like the energy and validation of a crowd, you need to eat late or go elsewhere. As to price, Travelle is very expensive, but if you can restrain yourself from wine and cocktails more than we did, two can eat well for $150. Our tab was $265, but drinks amounted to $140. Our meals justified the prices. Raw oysters on the half shell were the only ordinary part of our meal. My gazpacho was surprisingly green, not red, but subtly delicious with accents of veggies and nuts. My wife had snapper that she called “perfect.” For me, in carb-load mode for the Chicago Marathon, noodles with mushrooms, in the most delicious creamy broth I’ve ever had, couldn’t have been better.  Dessert was banana bread sorbet—original and delicious. We also benefitted from a superb server, Steven, also a runner, who proved to be both knowledgeable and delightful. In sum, Travelle is well worth your time and money.

Perfect location to cruise port. Room was updated and clean. The ergonomics of the room was not the most efficient for our purpose. That would be chaise lounge under mounted tv etc. Close to restaurants and China town. Price was right. Would stay again Rooms5.0

Do not go to their brunch!! Just visited today after reading about their new "amazing" brunch and it was a complete disappointment. Hands down, one of the worst brunches in town. The price doesn't correspond with the variety or the quality of the food. Small tables, small food stations, meat was not as advertised, service was ok but they seemed understaffed. We did enjoy the live music. Their duet was truly amazing. But everything else was just below average.

Great mixology here, great cocktails. I really enjoy having great conversations here. I come here often, and service has always been great. Prices are a bit reasonable for what you get, but it's a good time every time I'm in the Chinatown area. Great place!

We were at the 2nd service of 2pm with a lot of shortage: no bread, no coffee on the end, more than a choice of tea ... accessibility to tea-coffee is just not practical because it leads to the toilet and with a table right next to it which blocks the passage ... when to food, it changes and the products are of quality but I find that the ratio quality and especially quantity price was not there. One pancake, 3 potatoes fighting in a duel and two triangles ... anyway I don’t know if it was also due to the 2nd serve or not but I won’t come back to it.

A really nice steakhouse in Brickell. Visited on a Tuesday and had the Tomahawk. Excellent value for money. All courses were fantastic and the service by Li was excellent. Very hospitable and helpful throughout the evening. Would recommend and would visit again.
