I loved the Greek salad with the balsamic vinaigrette, it was very tasty and filling. The pizza was good, could have used some more cheese on it, but tasted fine. Nice, crispy crust and the broccoli was firm, not mushy. The service was not the fastest, I ordered my pizza and salad and had to wait about 30 minutes, and it was not busy at the restaurant at all. The cashier was pleasant enough. The atmosphere of the restaurant… well, there is none. A bunch of small tables lined up against both sides of the walls. No decor, very bare bones. Even Panera Bread restaurants are better decorated than this😐 Fair prices for the quality of the food. I wouldn’t seek this place out to come back again, but if I happened to pass by it and was feeling hungry, I would probably stop by.

Pretty excited for this find, because the pizza was delicious. Cherry pepper, bacon and fresh garlic pizza; so good. The bacon was crumbly, the garlic was well minced and the cherry peppers were perfect. We also ordered jalepeño poppers, which were very good but could have used some salt. The only complaint from my fiancé was regarding the chicken parm grinder. He felt it needed a little more flavor, but was pleased with it overall. We are thrilled to become their newest patrons.

Our first experience was dining in on a Saturday night. The food was good and the service was excellent. Naan and the long list of dishes provided plenty of choice. I ordered medium heat and it was a bit too spicy for me, so next time I will order milder. If you like spicy they can provide! Unfortunately they don't appear to have a beer/wine or Liquor license. The restaurant was empty except for us which surprised me, The atmosphere is dated, especially in the booth we were seated, which may explain why. We did see a number of take out orders picking up. My suggestion to owners is to update the inside a bit and perhaps you will gain more dine-in customers.

The spices are bold, and the naan steals the show. The curries hit all the right notes, though the decor feels more ‘takeout chic’ than fine dining. Service is friendly but not speedy—worth the wait if you’re craving a flavorful feast!

It's super bowl Sunday. Just got home to eat what my wife and I ordered. Brisket, Mac and cheese, fries. Hard to explain what's going on here... here's my best description of the food though. -Brisket, very briney/corned flavor. Not smoked thoroughly, or at all? No bark either, just a little crisp from bbq basting under a broil. Store bought bbq sauce (we think?) However, very tender and juicy. Not a "smoke house" flavor though, which is what you'd expect. - Mac and cheese.. I'll quote my 5 year old daughter... "It's just like the one at school!" She loved it lol. My wife and I not so much. It's the same flavor profile as a longhorn, chili's, outback. Plain, manufactured. - Fries. Ended up going out to the racoons in the backyard, no joke. Again, store bought variety and I've worked in enough restaurants to know the smell and taste of 2-3 week old fry oil. Yuck. The reception over the phone, and in person was very pleasant though. Employees get an A+. Not worth my $45+ dollars. Bummed out. Haven't had BBQ in a while, and this place was close. Might try again? Bad timing??

People were nice, but the brisket sandwhich wasn’t great at all and not cheap to say the least. Very disappointed. Had high hopes. The roll definitely wasn’t fresh and the Mac and cheese that came on the sandwhich was cold. I also didn’t think the brisket was anything special. For $15 I also expected a side of some sort to come with it. Literally all I got was a not fresh roll with a couple slices of brisket slathered in a mediocre bbq sauce and an ice cream scoop of cold Mac n cheese. I’m giving 2 stars because I feel bad and the mac n cheese wasn’t that bad. Just wish it was warm.

Super good lo main and crunchy chicken fingers. The staff were very kind and I can't wait till they open fully on Monday to try a poke bowl. I will update on that when I get it. The bears waving to the cars was super cute. They also have super cool mirrors in the bathroom you can change the light color and other touch screen mirror features. I never knew there was touchscreen mirrors. Overall the decor and designs to the place are nice and I wish them all the best going forward. I know I'll be a frequent customer. EDIT: I tried them Monday (yesterday now) and the poke bowl I got was super underwhelming and I ended up having to make my own spicy mayo and smoked salmon because it didn't have nearly enough sauce and flavor. They also didn't prepare it the way I asked and I made sure to be specific. My boyfriend got the burbon chicken and it was better than my pokebowl but still wasn't anything spectacular. We will still be giving them another chance as maybe it was a fluke because they were new but our food wasn't worth it this time.

Wow!!! First time trying this place and it’s absolutely amazing. The cashier was extremely nice and went over the menu with me and recommended the crispy sesame chicken. I’m eating it as I write this review and it’s really hitting the spot. I would highly recommend Hoya to everyone. Will absolutely repeat.😀 🥡🥢🥠

We ordered scallion pancakes, they were crispy and delicious (the vinegar was delicious), steamed soup dumplings (my favorite), Thai iced tea, hot tea and 2 ramen bowls (so yummy I forgot to take pics). We will definitely be back. For 2 apps, 2 drinks, 2 ramen bowls we were around $65+ tip for dinner.

I’ve visited this restaurant twice in just two weeks, and it’s easily one of the best Asian cuisine spots in Connecticut. The staff treats you with the utmost respect; Steven, in particular, provided exceptional service—his humility and attentiveness made my experience even better. The food is crafted to appeal to all palates, ensuring that anyone from any background will enjoy it. The entire experience is impressive, from the beautiful natural aquarium to the inviting ambiance and thoughtful packaging. Highly recommend!

On a whim, my brothers and I decided to stop and finally try Shenel’s kitchen. Where we were brought in by the atmosphere of the welcoming music and friendly staff. Shenel herself served us recommending we dine in for the full experience. She even served us an off the menu pasta that was amazing! Between the three us, we tried the curry goat, jerk chicken, pasta, veggies and rice and peas. Everything was a 10/10 highly recommend! The jerk chick wings were the perfect combination of spicy, saucy, sweet and smoky. The best authentic Jamaican food in PK! Definitely a hidden gem!!

being from the Bronx, I was originally intimidated walking in, hoping not to see mean employees with attitude lol This is literally the first Jamaican restaurant I’ve ever been to that has really kind employees, amazing atmosphere and food. I believe it was the owner that immediately greeted me as I walked in, and she was extremely sweet, even smiled at me. Let me try some other side of dishes and then help put together a great plate for me 10 out of 10 love this place and will definitely be back!!

The gals and I had a late night out, we were so excited to see Ginza was open late because we love sushi. We got the all you can eat option for $34.95 per person which is a steal!! Our waitress was amazing, so attentive and polite. The presentation of all the food was exceptional. The seafood was so fresh it melted in your mouth. I was surprised to see they had a Maya Roll, of course I had to get it. We ordered quite a lot of food and finished it all, it was that good. I’m going to tell everyone about this place and I am definitely coming back soon! Thank you for a great time!

This is the best sushi place in town hands down. Everything is super fresh and done to perfection. My favorites are the Chicken Satsu bento box (family size feeds 3 people) and all of their rolls! See the photos attached. 5 stars in every way :)

The kindest woman Michelle! She opened her restaurant to us on New Year’s Day while they were closed and cooked us the best meal. My boyfriend and I are vegan and love trying vegan food in our area, so she was very accommodating! The food was delicious and her hospitality was very special and welcoming to us. Additionally, the restaurant was very clean and comfortable which is incredible. We will come back again because we know it’ll be worth it 🩷🍽️😋

Incredibly great food nestled away here in Poughkeepsie. I’ve had Jamaican food all over here and none of these spots can compete with Empire Fusion. If you are craving authentic great Jamaican food, you won’t regret coming here. The restaurant is spotless, the owner is very nice, and her food is out of this world. I got the Oxtails, peas and rice, sweet plantain, and steamed veggies. My Wife had the Jerk Chicken. Everything tasted amazing!! I will definitely be back as I’m dying to try her Mac and Cheese again (it was sold out). 5 Star

First time and I was in awe! The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, very friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant is a little small, but I love how they utilized the space. The food was very good 8/10 for me. From the apps to the entree, everything was delicious. It was my first time trying sushi and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be back here again. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to try a creative, new spin on Japanese cuisines. The food was served very hot, and the service was very quick.

I wanted to try a bunch of Japanese-style fish that I think I hadn't had before, so I ordered sea bass, mackerel, surf clam, & fluke. I also have rarely had seared tuna. None of them disappointed at all! Only thing missing was beer, sake, or green tea.

Today I tried some egusi & fufu topped w/ goat meat. Not too familiar w/ western African food, it was a flavor experience unlike any I've ever had, bursting w/ savoriness. It paired beautifully w/ Zobo herbal drink. Two meals for the price of one! I'm glad this restaurant is located downtown instead of a suburban shopping plaza. Slight minus points for not having indoor seating, but I'll be back anyway!

I was a bit skeptical because of my other experiences with African restaurants. To my greatest surprise, the food was so delicious. The jollof rice, egusi and fufu was so yummy. Visit this place and you will be satisfied with a money well spent

Vegan options are pretty limited but, having any at all is an incredible treat so we were thrilled to find this charming little stop during our trip. Between The delicious options and the friendly service, the kids were disappointed that we weren't returning the second day but, I like to venture to new places. The waitress couldn't have been kinder and the food was exceptionally quick to come out. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable. Definitely worth the stop!

This pizza was terrible! Is it even possible to get good pizza in Poughkeepsie? I'll start with the good. My wife and I had never eaten from Gino's before. I checked out the reviews and figured we'd give them a shot. I called and a very pleasant young lady answered the phone. I want to ask if they delivered and if I could pay over the phone. I thanked her and told that I would call be with my order shortly. I called back roughly 10 minutes later. We ordered a large pizza with half grilled chicken and all onion. We also ordered wings well done. The total came to 45 dollars (45.00 for pizza and some wings?) And 8.00 for the tip. I'm now getting ready for what I am hoping is great pizza. As soon as I opened the box, I knew that things were going down hill from there. Get bigger boxes! The pizza was slightly folded over because the box was too small. Two thirds of the crust was brown, the other third was white. Don't ask. The onions were enormous chunks. (A little pizza with my onions please.) The GRILLED chicken was white. The chicken was thrown into a pan with absolutely no seasoning. Now, here comes the good part. What do you think happened when we went to grab a couple of slices? You got it! Most of the topping ended up in the middle of the box. This pizza couldn't have been more bland. Never again! The wings were decent. I'll give them a six. The young lady remained pleasant when I called back and the delivery guy was pleasant as well. This is by far the longest review that I have ever submitted.

We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed the bright smile of the owner of the business. We had a variety of sushi and lady in red roll. We also enjoyed their best sake. The experience was phenomenal the flavors, texture and the freshness of the fish was on point

Not sure how this is a chicken Hibachi meal… Ordered it to go with a side of "hibachi" noodles that cost extra. None of this even tastes remotely close to hibachi. Not the same noodles. Rice is awful. It’s all bad. I’m not sure how they’re passing this off as hibachi. Will not order again.
