JJBQ and Shabu Shabu
THE COMMACK LOCATION DOES NOT HAVE HOT POT
JBBQ and Shabu Shabu has a really unique ambience. It makes you feel like you are in a warehouse full of shipping containers. The ambience is a 5/5. I can’t rate the service since we were the only people in the whole restaurant. Later on in the day more people came. The food varies from dumplings, soup dumplings, dim sum, and wok. Their food is very good and authentic. The food is a 4.7/5. Overall this experience is a 4.8/5.
John's Pizzeria at Times Square
Johns Pizzeria is very unique. It used to be a church. They haven't changed the ambience since the church. In some seats you can’t see the big mosaic dome. The ambience is a 4.5/5. The service is pretty good. They are really kind. They have these “Pizza Boys” that are trained to make fresh pizza in a brick pizza oven. The service is A 4.7/5. The food is really good. I would highly recommend their pizza. They ONLY SELL WHOLE PIES, NO SLICES. Their pasta and sandwiches are also highly recommended. All of their food is great. Their food is a 4.9/5. Overall Johns Pizza is a 4.7.
