I recently visited Xhale Hookah Lounge and had an incredible experience! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening with friends. The real star of the show, however, was the Leeche Pan flavor hookah. It was absolutely divine! The flavor was rich and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the hookah and the attentive service. Overall, I highly recommend Xhale Hookah Lounge to anyone looking for a great hookah experie

Low key coffee shop in a highly transited area. There always seems to be seating which is nice. The staff are nice, the music is good and low enough to chat, and the selection of goods is plenty. I took off one star for the price. There’s a Dunkin and a Starbucks across the cross streets which are more affordable, but if prices don’t bother you, then I recommend it fully. I spent a little over $30 for a mocha, an almond milk, and 4 pastries (chocolate croissant, rainbow cookie, blueberry mu

Very good Uzbek food. Kebabs were delicious and unlike anything I’d had before. Plov was outstanding. Atmosphere was nice it felt like we were at a wedding. Owner is very nice and explained everything to us. Highly recommend.

I was very disappointed with the food quality here. The bagels were far from fresh, and the overall experience was well below expectations. Given the poor quality of the meal, I won't be returning. I'd recommend looking elsewhere if you're looking for a fresh, tasty bagel.

I was really really craving a Thai salad, so we ordered takeout and I went with the papaya salad, but I was so disappointed. The portion was on the smaller side (not terrible for $8.95), but the real issue was the lack of flavor. It wasn’t spicy, sour, or vibrant in any way…it just fell flat. We also tried the pineapple fried rice. The shrimp and rice were cooked well, but again, there was almost no flavor. It wasn’t salty, spicy, or even slightly punchy, just bland. Overall, it was an underwhel

We stopped in on an early Monday evening, and there were just a few other customers. The space is on the smaller side, and our server was friendly enough. We each ordered a draft beer (nice perk with $2 off during happy hour), along with the classic double smash, plus a side of fries and onion rings. The burger was quite greasy, but otherwise enjoyable. It had good flavor and nice crispy edges, though I wish there was more of the house burger sauce, I could barely taste it, and that’s usually wh

This used to be my go-to sandwich shop. The prices ran a little high, but the quality justified it: generous portions, fresh toppings, and ingredients that actually felt worth paying for. That is no longer the case. The meats now come off slimy, the bread tastes dry and stale, and I genuinely suspect a sandwich I ordered the other day made me sick. I gave the place more than enough grace, first assuming it was a fluke, then wondering whether ownership had changed or supply standards had slipped.

Service was quick and polite, food was inexpensive (though serving sizes weren’t too big, it was still cheap to buy two items) and delicious. A nice hole in the wall for sure. The lady at the cashier even gave me a can of Canada Dry for $1, which really made my day.

They have super filling and delicious poke bowls here!! One poke bowl only costs $12 and there are a ton of toppings and sauces you can add. I recommend getting the mango (which I've never seen in any other poke place before) alongside one sweet and one spicy sauce. Customer service is also great as the clerks are very welcoming. They'll hand you your own paper to fill out what you want to order and all you need to do is hand it in and pay to get your food.

I really like this Forest Hills Metropolitan Ave location. I met the owner Imran once and stayed in touch; he seems friendly and down to earth. It’s what one would expect with D & D espresso but it’s consistent & convenient. As a health conscious vegetarian, I appreciate that they have non dessert and non meat food items such as avocado, toast, hash browns, bagels. The staff here are welcoming, friendly, hard working and professional. Jahn is always professional, attentive, friendly and a sinc

Kaylenne, I can't thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. It's rare to come across someone so compassionate and willing to help others without hesitation. Your kindness made a real difference, and I'm incredibly grateful. Thank you for your reminding me that there are still genuinely caring people in this world. I highly recommend you to anyone—you have a heart of gold.

I just left very disappointed. A young man put the sign by the door to block us from going in. We stood by door and they finally said to come in. Stood at register for 2 mins and finally someone came out. I asked for Matcha and they said no, I ask for a banana chocolate latte the lady said no again and said only hor coffee nothing else. I got half a dozen donuts and they were NASTY, HARD AND STAIL. No bag or napkins. You can tell they just didnt want anyone there. WONT BE GOING THERE AGAIN!!! On

12/3/25 update: I got a pickup custom bowl today and was extremely pleased. It seems like the portions got bigger? Not sure if it’s my imagination but the bowl was FULL of all the ingredients I asked for, and so delicious. It was $22 incl tax and while normally I’d say that’s so much money for lunch - in this case I’d say this was well worth it for the portions and quality of the ingredients. I had paused coming to SG for a while because it seemed like the portions were small and I’d have to ask

I come here all the time. And one day I have noticed that they have a mouse trap underneath the counter where they make coffees and bagels. This has shocked me because I thought their service had no rodent problems, but when I have noticed this mouse trap underneath the counter as you can see in the photo where they make coffees and food! This was very surprising. This shows to me that these workers and business are unsanitary. I am very grossed out and I’m never coming here again.

I ordered the beef chow fun expecting a fairly traditional dish. Unfortunately, what I received was nothing close to authentic. As shown in the attached photo, the dish was overwhelmingly made up of celery and carrots. Authentic beef chow fun consists of wide rice noodles, beef, bean sprouts, and scallions — that’s it. There should be no celery or carrots at all, let alone this much. After picking out all the celery and carrots, before I could even attempt to eat it, and even then, there was ba

Low-key, off-the-beaten-path Japanese spot serving sushi & other creative fare in an intimate space.
Katsuno is Forest Hills' best kept secret. They only open a few days a week for a couple hours, and reservations must be made in advance. If you walk by too fast, you just might miss the store front. The food is fresh and authentically made by an old Japanese couple. This meal will cost you, but every bite is worth it. I loved the hamachi kama. Katsuno is my favorite special occasion restaurant when I feel like splurging on my birthday.

Best tasting kosher sushi. Ordered a large platter of different rolls, classic and special, for my sons birthday. Everything was fresh and delicious. Presentation was great as well. All my guest couldn't stop raving how delicious the sushi was. The whole platter was gone in minutes. Will definitely keep ordering from them for my events.

Usually, when you go places the fried chicken isn’t tender, but not with this place, I even ordered popcorn chicken for my son and it came out very tender as well as the fries were very crispy. This place is definitely a 10 out of 10 whether you are just coming for you or your children I definitely recommend. In my son‘s words, this place is a 100 out of 100. And the lady at the front she is very, very sweet.

Nan Xiang Express is… fine, but definitely not on the same level as the original Nan Xiang in Flushing. The food feels very “express” quality, and if you’re expecting the same flavors, you’ll probably be disappointed. The pork rice cakes were pretty bland, and the pork was cut so thin and sparse that you could barely find it. Same with the beef udon — very little beef, and what was there didn’t add much flavor. I’ll be adding photos because the portions of meat were surprisingly minimal. Porti

Casual counter-serve chain for build-your-own sandwiches & salads, with health-conscious options.
I would like to file a complaint about the service I received today at around 9:00 p.m. The employee who assisted me was very rude and provided poor customer service. On top of that, the sandwich I received was very disappointing. It had very little filling and did not meet Subway’s usual quality standards. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect and to receive a properly prepared product. I hope this issue is addressed so that other customers do not have the same experience. Thank

A wonderful bubble tea spot. The staff was beyond helpful on what and how to order. The prices are reasonable. The shop is located downstairs in the shopping complex, where you could easily miss it if you didn't know. I got the lemon-green tea with 50% sugar and it was the perfect balance of sour and sweet tea needed for an afternoon pick-me-up. Highly recommend and I can't wait to try it again. 03/2024

This is my favorite sushi place, I ordered both take-out and dine-in multiple times at A Sushi. Their lunch special is cheaper than many other places and includes either a free salad or miso soup. Super tasty, my favorites include spicy salmon, eel avocado, salmon avocado, and more! I often buy two rolls after school as snack and occasionally during my free time I got three rolls for real lunch. Fish is of good quality, no fishy taste, and I never get upset stomach.

I had an upcoming milestone, and the bakery absolutely nailed my cake vision. I brought in a photo of my idea, and Laura and her staff truly made my dreams come true. The cake was delicious, vanilla cake with mocha filling (so yummy), especially paired with a hot cup of coffee. Thank you so much for bringing my vision to life. I truly appreciate it and can’t wait to come back and try more of your baked goods!

My family and I have called in a large lunch order for pick up four weeks in a row...and have ordered in the past several times. The order is always ready quickly. To date, never any issues. They separated the hot food from the cold food when bagging. Everything is as it should be with plenty of sauces and most importantly, DELICIOUS! The 3 roll combo is a great deal and we like the Yellowstone pizza...crispy base, avocado, seaweed salad (i think) and your choice of tuna or salmon on top.

One of the best restaurants on Metropolitan Avenue!! It is small so not ideal for large groups, however there is seating with view of the avenue. Unlike most of the other stores, they have long hours which is REALLY relieving. Although two annoyances are that there is no restroom & it is cash only. The service is efficient & polite, matching with its good food (including proportions!) & affordable prices. It may not look very nice but it is definitely a good establishment & still clean.

Came here twice to try the Sea Salt Vanilla Latte, iced and hot versions. The spring menu did not mention it has cinnamon but the hot Sea Salt Vanilla Latte I got did have cinnamon, enough so that I could not taste sea salt and the cinnamon overpowers the vanilla taste. However there was no cinnamon in the iced version of the drink when I bought it last time. When I asked the worker about the hot drink, she said it is supposed to have cinnamon (like the Golden Bloom Latte that has it explicitly

It was alright, definitely not worth the price. Everyone was nice, restaurant is setup like an old style diner, with all sauces galore. The best thing was the beans and rice; immaculate. The ribs were meaty but had a sweet aftertaste which didn’t make sense for the savory plate. Plantains tasted like they were bought at different times; some hard some soft.
