Dino is a classy Italian spot that offers a good variety of menu options for newcomers. The calamari and cocktails were very good, and the server seemed really knowledgeable of the menu. My roasted chicken seemed a little less flavorful than I was expecting, as it took an extra 30 minutes apart from the other items to prepare, but it was decent and the skin was very crispy. The parmesan grits were a great complement. The garlic bread here is different than your standard garlic bread, it is more of slightly raw tasting garlic paste heavily applied to toast. All in all a decent experience, not one I may try again though.

Amazingggg Senegalese food. If you ever want a spot that has tasty lamb, this is the place! The women at the counter was very friendly and took care of us very well during the meal. The roasted lamb was very flavorful and scrumptious, and the rice on the side had just the right amount of spice to it! The meal serving was so big I ended up taking more than half of it home and eating the rest over the next couple meals! Excellent hidden gem in Bedstuy

Placed an order for a crab roll, the mango fried shrimp, and the sticky coke chicken wings with a mango tea to drink. The server let me know it would be about 45 minutes for the wait before placing the order. I appreciated the heads up. The food itself was decent, but could have tasted a lot better. The crab roll was rather small, and the coke wings had good flavor but the portion was really small for the price. Bubble tea is good here.

I love Korean food. Prepare it at home all the time. When I walked in I was greeted by a woman preparing an order that was ready to serve. After serving the previous guest she attempted to take my order where I asked for the Han Mari fried chicken, which was on the menu outside. She told me they didn’t have any chicken, which I assumed meant they ran out for the day, but actually meant they no longer sold the Korean fried chicken. Once she said this I was met with a man taking over for her at the register, but this time I asked for the Galbi Tang (traditional pork neck one soup, they sell it everywhere). He said they didn’t have that either, then what shocked me the most is he yelled “NEXT” while I was standing right in front of him and proceeded to take the next guests order despite the fact that I hadn’t even ordered yet. After patiently waiting for my turn again, I went up and ordered japchae and beef gimbap. My food was ready in about 10 minutes, but the buzzer didn’t even go off so the man had to yell my order in the store for me to know it was mine. The food was okay, didn’t have enough flavor for me, and the gimbap meat was a little dry and flavorless. I won’t be coming here again unless they treat customers with a little more respect.

It isn’t often you find good, quick and simply soup dumplings and noodles in Ithaca, but this is the spot! Delicious hand-pulled noodles with savory melt in your mouth beef and plenty of other delights!
