What kind of restaurant serves sides of guacamole and salsa without including chips? Honestly a first for me
Should be called "lower standards"
I've been a heavy smoker for years and I was excited to see a high end smoke shop rather than the usual ny smoke shop often run by a pushy salesman with a thick middle eastern accent selling cheap Chinese glass, which is the case with many ny smoke shops. However, this stores charms lie only with its "high end" appearance. I have visited this store several times only to be disappointed, not only do they sell very little actual glass, many of the things there are downright stupid. You may ask yourself, what kind of person would buy a 150$ juul case or a 3000$ wooden stash box. Well you'd be right in assuming not that many as almost nobody there ever seems to be buying anything aside from things like pax's and other items you can get at any other smoke shop. I understand that this store goes for quality over quantity, but the problem is that they lack so much quantity that you probably won't find anything you want there. Surprisingly the store sells little to no actual glass, and as for high end brands like roor and illadelph they don't have them, in fact they don't have any glass besides a few of their own pieces which are very basic, some grav spoon pipes and then a very very small amount of other insane glass pieces so expensive and absurd looking that nobody would ever actually buy them. It's ironic that some seedy looking smoke shops in nyc actually sell the same stuff as higher standards while also being official retailers of high end brands like roor and having way more selection.
I actually bought the cleaning kit here as it's the only good deal in the store and I sat at the counter for several minutes while the employees stood around talking. Not to mention that they are usually pretty pretentious and just jerks in general if you ask them any question about anything, especially the price of something. All in all this place has tried to redefine the New York City smoke shop but has in turn made the entire experience of going to a smoke shop significantly worse, I'd rather stick with my boy Fahim at the shop by my house. Yeah they don't have any 900$ custom volcano vaporizers but at least they have an actual selection and the employees won't look down on you.
Do not go to this store, do not give them business
This is by far the best korean bbq in New York City, the staff is super nice and the meat is really high quality, and the staff is the best at cooking the meat for you. You get free sides with your meal and it doesn't get any better than this place
Good shop with great customer service, had an issue with a piece I bought a while back and they replaced it for me
These guys sell super cheap glass imported from China that they markup for really high prices, you can buy the same 100$ rig here on DHgate for like 30 or less dollars. Don't waste your money on their cheap chinese glass, I bought a bong here that broke within a day after getting knocked over very gently. also the guys selling it will claim to be giving you a "deal" by not charging tax but this is just a high pressure sales tactic, also they give a 10% discount for yelp reviews so that explains all the five stars
The people who work at this place will try to overcharge you if you're not a regular, so I've been going into this place a few times a week to buy the exact same thing, two drinks that they always charge me three bucks a pop for, then when I go to pay one right the manager says something to the cashier in another language and suddenly they try to squeeze an extra buck out of each item, when I came back to tell him I buy the exact same two drinks there all the time and it's always six dollars. the cashier acted like he'd never seen the price of those before and it was a mistake, I know this is bs because I recognize the cashier that overcharged me and I know he's sold me the same exact drinks before. It's not like two dollars breaks the bank but the practice of trying to overcharge someone because you might think they are not local is wrong.
P.S don't get any food here the place is disgusting and all the food sits in warm trays all day and it's reheated in the microwave
