  It's not bad and a decent option for cheap, fast Dominican delivery on the UES.  An entire rotisserie chicken is only $11 and it is nicely cut into serving size pieces (it's the little things!) and pretty tender with a nice crispy skin.  The chicken rice is also solid and the portion is huge.  For about $20, you can feed 3!

  I order from here a good amount. Honestly every time I order I cross my fingers and pray. Some days it's amazing and all my food is on point. Other days it comes out terrible. Beans will be watery with no flavor meat over cooked and maduros are usually extremely greasy or under ripe. The delivery is always on time and the delivery driver comes upstairs and is always friendly. Also they have good prices just need to be wayyyyyyy more consistent.

  This is probably one of the worst experiences I've had eating out. First off we entered the restaurant at 9 pm and made sure to check the hours they're opened on google maps. It says they close at 12 AM. I went off based on this information and upon walking in the staff did not correct it. The food was plain and simple. There was no true taste to it simply just bland. But the worst part wasn't the food but the overall ambiance of the staff. Throughout the meal we were given constant side eyes and remarks. This made me question whether they were truly closing at 12 AM. Around 10 one of the staff told us they were closing and if we wanted our food to go and they needed to "get out of here". She told us with much attitude and when I tried reasoning with her that the time said 12 AM on google maps she once more gave me attitude.
  
  The problem with this experience overall was the service. First off if you do close at 9:40
  PM, as you said, tell the customers upon arrival about this don't just give them weird looks. But mainly don't kick customers out and turn off the lights as they're leaving this was simply disrespectful. Never Dining Here Again. And now my stomach hurts from the food.

  This was the best sandwich i ever had in my life and I'm OLD and have travelled all over the world. I was walking by and was not going to stop but it smelled so good i went in. I got the Pernil sandwich. The bread was fresh and perfectly toasted, the lettuce was crisp and the pernil was AMAZING. Perfectly seasoned and roasted just right so it had blackened bits and tender chunks that melted in my mouth with tons of flavor. Seriously the best sandwich in my whole life. I will definitely go back. I wish i lived in harlem.
  PS, i also ordered chicken soup but haven't eaten it yet. I was a little mad because I ordered the soup with avocado and they charged me $2 but when I got home I realized they didn't put the avocado in the soup but rather gave me a whole avocado! So i would have paid $2 for an avocado at the store...
  Anyway, get the pernil sandwich.

  It was recommended by my coworker that I come to Sandy's for some soup. I came in around 11 AM and the place was empty. I ordered their Chicken Noodle Soup which was delicious and filling. The soup did its job of making me feel better on a sick day.
