I ONLY PUT 5 STARS SO MY REVIEW COULD BE AT THE TOP ! READ READ READ🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 I was incredibly let down by my visit to Melody Lounge. It’s clear this is a common practice—without even asking if we were ready, they just handed us the tab and told us we had to leave, or we’d need to buy a bottle to stay. It didn’t matter that we had a group of seven and wanted to buy more drinks—we were forced out. Only after me arguing and going back-and-forth with two men and explaining how I found that this w

I went here Saturday night with a large group to celebrate my sister and her boyfriend’s birthday. We ordered drinks and I began to feel sick at the bar shortly after. Instead of asking me to move from the bar politely the bouncer comes out of nowhere and starts pulling me from my chair saying I have to leave. My sister asked why was I being told to leave and he stated the bartender told him to have me removed. I did not have any negative interaction with the bouncer or bartender prior. While th

This spot has quickly become one of my favorite bars in Astoria. If you’re into local craft beers, this is a must! I love that they support local crafters and always have a variety of choices across multiple types of beer. The staff is very knowledgeable and always happy to help you find your next selection. The atmosphere is equally great with a laid back vibe and the perfect back garden. Love introducing locals and visiting friends to this hidden gem.

Visiting this hookah lounge was an experience that combined atmosphere, hospitality, and quality in a way that truly stood out. It felt like the perfect balance between relaxation and social energy, creating an environment where both small groups and larger gatherings could feel at home. The service was exceptional. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, guiding us through the menu and recommending flavors we might not have tried otherwise. Their knowledge and friendliness made the ex

We ordered from there a ton and never had any issues. I'm sorry other people had those experiences. I don't think they should shut down maybe a review of the health yes. I've probably eaten here maybe 30 times in the last year. I work a lot. They have the best prices and always put the correct amount of beef for the beef and broccoli. Makes me smile every time. Perfect comfort food.

Stopped by Serano Bakery while walking around Astoria and it instantly became a favorite. They have a wide selection of gelato with rich, creamy flavors , you can actually see how fresh everything is. The pastries in the display also look amazing. I got a waffle cone with two flavors and it was delicious. Friendly service and great variety. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I came in for some tacos and left very happy! Ordered the birria tacos and steak tacos which were flavorful, juicy, and filled with cheese, onions, green peppers, cilantro. Staff were very friendly and I loved the atmosphere as they were playing good music in the back.

I’m giving it four stars because for 10 dollars it was a large cup of pasta and the service was really nice, extra friendly considering the large crowd on a Friday night. The gnocchi pesto pasta was tasty. Large pieces of gnocchi. Some smaller pieces of chicken. Satisfying. Bae and I split a cup. I think we will come back and try another pasta flavor. Most people were getting ice cream. I guess that’s a crowd favorite.

Hayati Hookah Lounge has been my all-time favorite spot for over 1.5 years, and it never disappoints! The atmosphere is always welcoming and perfect for relaxing with friends. The hookahs are always smooth and flavorful, providing a great experience every time. A big shout-out to Samuel, who’s the absolute best! He’s super friendly, always makes great recommendations, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s having a fantastic time. His exceptional service is one of the reasons I

Have gotten delivery because it is super fast, inexpensive, and decent. Some dishes are great--I really like the Szechuan bean curd (pictured below), the pan-fried dumplings, and the eggplant in garlic sauce. The egg foo young and broccoli in garlic sauce are fine; both the sesame tofu and the sesame chicken are a soggy mess. I've gotten the Kung Pao Chicken twice. The first time it was super fresh tasting and great; the second time it tasted like rancid oil. Still, because of the price and the

Dear Management, I am writing to formally express my disappointment with the service and food quality at your establishment. Due to the consistently unprofessional attitude of the individual responsible for taking orders, I have decided to take my business elsewhere. Furthermore, during our last order, the chicken served to my child was raw, which is a serious health concern. Despite being a regular customer in the neighborhood and providing multiple opportunities for improvement, the combina

This place is a gem of a neighborhood bar with a great beer selection, incredible cocktails, a solid NA lineup, and music that actually slaps (especially when DJ Gean is spinning/jukebox). The bartenders are friendly and genuinely make you feel at home from the moment you walk in. And when it's warm out, the backyard is the place to be. Saturdays a softball team comes through and they are so much fun; they just add to the whole energy of the place. Colin, JJ, and Kyle are surely the best barten

I enjoy frozen yogurt n wanted to like this new place. Unfortunately I was barely greeted... No "hello n welcome to our new place. Would you like to try a taste?" The banana fro yo was light n fruity but the peanut butter was an oversweet paste. There are no chairs to sit down... no stools outside. No small tables n chairs on the sidewalk. No rewards card to encourage me to come back... come on, people. Get real. Your business relies on super friendly service and great product. Good luck!

This place used to be good value but they changed things and lost on quality and taste. The patty melt was decent but they changed the bread to some thin, chewy thing and it came cold… on one of the hottest days. Fries were cold as well and soggy, milkshake was basically foamy milk and the burger was flavorless. Not worth it anymore, glad we didn’t do two combos.

Need a stop, or a cocktail, 25 steps off the N,W, 30th Ave Subway stop? Well, can be a useful walk. Neighborhood low key bar, pool table, jukebox and a flair of ole times in Astoria. Times do change, but a fixture for memories and good times that sometimes are recaptured. Good staff and vibes are fluid. Worth a look for days and nights ahead.

I feel ripped off. I come here often for the fruit salad because they used to have two sizes and the portions were very generous. Today, I came back for the fruit salad with ice cream—which is usually the largest option—and they charged me $15 for this container that is less than half the usual size. I feel completely scammed. Never again.

We ordered delivery, wanting to try another establishment, as other places have become quite pricey for Chinese take-out, along with quality & quantity going south. Delivery time along with pricing, quite reasonable. Portions were good, the food was good and satisfying.The deliveryman polite and friendly as was the lady who took the phone order. We got what we expected and accustomed to, when ordering Chinese take-out. Ever since then, we have ordered again several times.

I went on a little pizza tour and by pizza tour…I mean I just walked around New York City and found the nearest pizza places to see what was good. This was my favorite by far in the four block radius, and that says a lot because there are about five pizza places in the four block radius I was greeted by Carmelo and a more recent employee named Ronald like Ronaldo but without the O they were super welcoming, and we talked for sometime about pizza, football and other things .

Visiting from out of town and decided to give it a try. It’s fairly small inside, fits about 20 people, but the decor and atmosphere is really cute. The service was impeccable, very attentive and kind. Helpful on selections and the spice level was accurate (medium was actually medium, not too light just perfect). We got the pineapple fried rice and drunken noodles (and Thai iced tea). They were amazing. Everything was fresh and tasty and it was sufficiently unique didn’t just taste like the same

This Resturant is guaranteed to mess up your order. They messed up my order twice in the past. And now today and yesterday they messed up my order back to back again. I place online order and every time they forget the eggs or they forget the sausages or they forget the toast. The owner needs to be aware that workers are incompetent. How can it be hard to mess up an online order that specifically says what the order is?

Lovely halal cafe near the 30th ave train station. Nice decor, cozy and comfortable vibe. They have a good selection of coffees, teas, and food both sweet and savory. We got the amadeus latte, mango matcha, turkey bacon egg & cheese on brioche, and the avocado breakfast wrap. The amadeus latte had a flavorful combination of cinnamon and chocolate. The mango matcha was delicious and refreshing. The food was delicious and very filling, perfect for breakfast or brunch. Staff were very friendly. Ove

Stopped into Make Believe Bakeshop and was seriously impressed. I just grabbed a drip coffee and a slice of carrot cake, and both were excellent. The coffee was smooth, clean, and way better than your average drip — you can tell they care about their beans. The carrot cake was moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet, with that perfect spice balance. Super friendly vibe inside too. Easy place to pop in, enjoy something good, and feel taken care of. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Astoria.

The mango bear is cute but the taste is mid. I also ordered the ice chiffon cake, the cream was way too much and the taste is also so-so. Then when I ordered the small espresso, the coffee was the amount of a taste test and it wasn’t even full… And in the google maps, they show a picture of a daifuku and they said they didn’t sell it… so why put that picture if you aren’t planning to sell it?

After playing at a nearby playground, we were starving and looking for a place to eat. This restaurant popped up in my search and was conveniently located just two blocks away, so we decided to give it a try. It’s a fast-casual spot specializing in Americanized Japanese fare.
