5. Mokyo
Offers vegetarian and vegan options

Mokyo's food offers a range of flavors that go from above average to impressive. Personal favorites include the rich gumbo and flavorful calamari with rice. While dishes like the ribs and spring rolls were decent but not outstanding, the overall dining experience was satisfying. The only drawback was the long wait time for the ribs, taking almost 40 minutes to arrive. However, the fantastic service and quick delivery of the other dishes made up for the delay. With their tapas-style menu, it's a great place to share and explore various items. I had the opportunity to try almost the entire menu, making for a delightful gastronomic adventure.

59 1st Ave., New York, NY 10003, USA 1/10 PEOPLE SAY: Angie Bennett I stopped by for a quick bite and the ramen was incredibly tasty and flavorful. I couldn't believe how quickly I finished everything in just 10 minutes! The ramen had amazing flavors and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. It's a shame this place is often overlooked due to its small size. I highly recommend trying it! Donald Ward The ramen dish was delicious at this cozy little restaurant. It may not look like much from the outside, but it is a hidden gem.
