Grandma's pizza - $4.00

October 28, 2022 @4:54 pm

For several years I’ve been going to Koronet Pizza because their pizza’s are good, good atmosphere, great customer service.  They are known for their jumbo size pizza.  You should see the jumbo slice.  Now somewhere between April and May of this year I met the owner and I had one no two questions to ask him.  What happened to the seats and is he closing.  He replied no, it’s not closing and he will be replacing the seats in the next few weeks.  It is now November and the seating situation has gotten worst. 

There are hardly any seats inside.  There is an island in the middle that has about 5 chairs.  On one side there are two tables and one against the wall that usually has bar stools.  Not there are only 3 out of about bar 18 seats.  That means at 15 are missing seats.  If a pole is missing its top half (seat) you can actually swivel a seat off and place it on another pole, but they can be wobbly and unstable.  Normally my reviews are about the food, but not this time.  I am actually confused and annoyed that the lack of respect and courtesy for the customers.   Customers often judge a restaurant by its appearance, and a poorly maintained restaurant can and will drive customers away.  Yes, restaurants experience furniture wear and tear from continue usage and damage but when it reaches the level that Koronet is now in, it demonstrates a lack of interest or something.  I just don’t get it.  Now we’ve all heard that things are still on ships, back orders, suppliers can’t keep up with demand due to lower production, shipping delays and labor shortages.  I get it.  But there has to be another remedy to reflect appreciation for your customers. 

I hope that this will be remedied very soon because I do enjoy sitting inside eating my grandma pizza and reading my book.     

3 plates for the pizza.  O plates for the seating.

Teriyaki chicken, steam fried rice & cabbage

Monday, November 7, 2022 @12:00 pm

I worked in the Bronx for 4 days and one of the perks was seeing my old co-workers who are like family and getting to see my co-worker Altagracia who was recently working with me in Manhattan but for the past two months was transitioned from back to the Bronx.  So off we went to have lunch at Teriyaki One.  It’s new because I would have been there when I worked in the Bronx, but I’m glad that they are there now.  Good thing we got there early because the line just kept growing.  You watch the chefs work the grill as it is stationed behind this long counter, and it’s opened.  Everything is fresh because the chefs are constantly moving, shifting, chopping, scooping and plating. 

Altagracia and I both had the chicken teriyaki special with steamed white rice and cabbage.  Now listen, they give you so much food!  And just because it’s a lot and tastes good, I tried to finish it all, clean my plate, leave nothing behind.  Didn’t happen.  I gave it the good old college try.  So good. 

I went back to work and thought about the experience.  Clean, spacious and airy.  The food is  well seasoned, chicken well done and tender and juicy.  Have fun and let me know if you were able to eat all of your food.  Go ahead I dare you.

What a great time, celebrating eating with my daughter Stacey and her daughter, my granddaughter Alana.  Alana picked this restaurant so off we went.

I’ll say this, this is one of the most customer friendly service restaurant that I have been to that starts from the time you walk in.  Our server, Ms. Azzura was exceptionally proficient, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.  I asked her what does her name mean and she did not know except her grandfather named her.  How precious.

Well Alana ordered the soy garlic drumsticks, and they look like they were weight lifting for a contest, just huge, the biggest I have ever seen.  She also ordered the house fried rice, plain.  Now that was yummy to my tummy.  I kept scooping her rice on my plate ONLY because she invited me to and she still had a lot enough to take out.  Ummmm, I didn’t take enough. 

Stacey and I order the soy garlic wings and I had a side of coleslaw.  Stacey ordered the chicken fried rice.  The wings are so full of flavor and tasty with a nice bite to it. 

Mr. Susanto NNG the general manger came over and introduced himself and left off that he was hilarious.  So down to earth like Azzura.  They make for a good team, with good food and great atmosphere.

So stop on by and say hello.  By the way Bonchon’s are individually owned, so head to 23^rd street.

Chicken & broccoli - $27.00

Lobster spring rolls - $23.00

Scallion pancakes - $14.00

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 @ 4:40 pm

Down by Riverside sits a 1920 red brick commercial building which now house Panda Harlem restaurant.  On this fine day, my daughter Brandy decided that I should try this restaurant since she has been here recently.  So off we went. 

As you can see it is dimly lit, spacious with a little quirks of seating areas like the one near the entrance, or the two tables that are near the main bar or the upper seating area.  As we were seated and introduced to our server Jay, we began to view the menu. 

We order the scallion pancakes for appetizers and oh my so good.  The hoisin sauce topped it off.  I could have eaten them without the meal.  But onwards I must.   

We ordered the chicken & broccoli and lobster spring rolls for the main meal and they both were good.  The broccoli had a nice crunch even in the brown garlic sauce.  I like the sweet chili sauce that came with the lobster spring rolls.

While we were waiting for our food, a gentleman approached our table and ask if we wanted to smoke a “hookah”.  What?!  No thank you, but I saw a couple smoking as we exit out.  Evidently he is the salesperson for selling hookahs to customers for Panda Harlem.       

On the bottom of the receipt it reads “A convenience fee of 3.9% is applied to all charge card sales.  As an incentive for customer we now provide an immediate discount of 3.99% when paying with cash”.   Also, they automatically charge a gratuity fee. 

Good food and good conversation.  Interesting place.
