Comfy, low-key restaurant & sushi bar offering popular Chinese, Japanese & Southeast Asian dishes.
My goto for Chinese and Japanese take out in Throggs Neck. Their food, drinks and noodles with duck sauce reminds me of the old Hawaii Sea on Tremont. I always order from them and I am never disappointed. But this review is not for the great food but for them going above and beyond to please a customer. A friend of mine caught a fresh yellow fin tuna and I wanted to make my own sushi. They sold me their sushi rice which is awesome and included all the condiments I needed to make the meal with

Amazing vendor to use for catering! They are so responsive and quick as well to provide information. I initially reached out to Zabi over the phone and he immediately provided all of the details, menu options, and pricing. He was very good about communicating over text and phone. My sister visited the location in person and worked with Saba. They treated her with so much hospitality while she was there and while building out the order. Saba provided great guidance and recommendations on which o

My first experience trying an Afghan food and Wow was it good! I had the Bronzini which was cooked to perfection. At one with a group of girlfriends and every single person completely clear their plate. The service was amazing and the restaurant itself has a really relaxed ambience. If you've ever wanted to try food from Afghanistan and are in the Queens area I 100% recommend Kabuli Grill. Oh and don't forget to order Firnee for dessert! Taste better than Creme Brulee!

Veteran Dominican restaurant doling out fried & rotisserie chicken in an unassuming space.
**Super crispy chicken and great Dominican vibes!** John’s Fried Chicken never misses. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and full of flavor — you can tell it’s made to order every time. The place has that real Dominican feel, with great music, friendly people, and food that reminds you of home. Only downside is the small seating area — it can fill up quick. But honestly, the food makes up for it. Definitely one of those neighborhood spots you just keep coming back to!

Let’s begin with the vibes in there .. it was cute and the music was good too . BUT literally that was it … the food !? Disgusting. waste of money . Our waiter ? Was super nice and fast . But ugh the food I can’t get over it . The filet mignon bites ? Isssaaa a no . I ordered it well done . Some pieces was RARE & soggy 🤮 . The rice was dry ! The only thing I ate was the noddles . And where they sat me at was in the most awkward table of all time . Literally in the middle of all these others tab

We stopped in to grab takeout while waiting in line for Josh Johnson at the comedy club and DANG, that bowl was gooooooood! Eating it on the sidewalk somehow made it even better. The flavors were fresh, comforting, and exactly what I was craving. This place checks every one of my Korean food boxes, and I can already tell I’ll be back regularly. The only complaint? Don’t run out of kimchi next time! If you’re looking for a quick, delicious Korean meal, this spot absolutely delivers.

Ceviche specialist serving up globally influenced Peruvian plates in a bright turquoise space.
We stopped in for an early Saturday dinner and were surprised to find the place completely empty. It felt like a hidden gem, especially given its years of Michelin recommendations. We shared the ceviche mixto, arroz con mariscos, and a dulce de leche dessert with tulle and cookies. The appetizer and entrée were excellent; the ceviche mixto was incredibly fresh, and the seafood in the arroz was perfectly cooked, with rice that was well-seasoned and flavorful. Unfortunately, the ice cream in the d

This wine & beer bar with an intimate ambiance offers a seasonal, locally sourced American menu.
Made a reservation for 2 on the morning/day (a Friday) of via their website, and got an email confirmation around noon. The place is small but they have overflow seating at their sister restaurant next door which has almost the same interior. They accept walk-ins too. Note: they only have wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks. Ordered the mac n cheese, paella, and hamburger/fries for two people, and we ate almost all of it! Paella was loaded with seafood/meat and worth it (it does seem pricey kn

Amazing space with such a unique concept. Every room has its own aesthetic. Great Happy Hour deals until 8pm. Sweet servers and drinks (shoutout Sarah)

Vera's is a much needed fresh food spot on Sutter ave in Brownsville/E. NY. I arrived at opening and most of the options were not ready. I did get the $6 platter with chili barbecue chicken mac and cheese and a drink. The food was tasty and I must come back around noon.

We had an amazing experience at Gyro Kings! The service was absolutely excellent from start to finish. The person attending us was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely considerate, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of during our visit. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared (even at night) You can really tell they care about both the quality of the food and the customer experience. On top of that, the restaurant was very clean and kept in

Got a pepperoni Sicilian and some garlic knots 😭✨🫶👌delicious savory lunch! Braved the frigid weather for this and it was so worth it! Friendly staff, great pizza, clean space! I went around 1:30pm-ish on a Tuesday and it was not too busy. Sicilian was perfect! Crunchy and saucy! Garlic knots with the sauce 😋some of the best I’ve had!

Village Square Pizza is a New York style pizzeria that focuses on classic slices with a heavier emphasis on square pies, grandma-style slices, and creative combinations. From the outside, it looks like a simple neighborhood pizza shop, but once you walk in, the smell of fresh pizza immediately stands out. The space has a casual grab-and-go feel, making it a convenient stop whether you are looking for a quick lunch, a late-night bite, or something before an event in Midtown. The biggest highligh

The chicken tenders were burnt, rubbery like it was refried. Garlic Knots were hard, personal pie was cold. The entire meal was warm to almost cold. This is not the first time it has happened. I will no longer order food from this establishment. The wax paper for the pizza was from Wendy’s. 🤨 Does the owner also own Wendy’s?

Amazing Middle Eastern restaurant with an authentic and welcoming vibe. The host was great and the environment was very friendly. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and well seasoned, the kabab was juicy and full of flavor, and the shawarma was authentic and spot on. The cheese fteera (pie) was delicious, and the fries were very unique and a great side. Everything we tried was fresh and satisfying. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Is this place an amazing Mexican joint, yes, do I wish I lived in New York so I could forget about this place find it again and have my taste buds blown off their …. Tuckus. Yes yes I do. Worth the stop. Empanadas so so good. Short ribs absolutely. Random menu item sure it’s gonna be amazing. Do it you won’t regret it.

One of the best Korean Fried Chicken spots I know! Boong's is actually so bomb. 10/10 would recommend. The spicy snow dry rub is actually spicy for once, and the soy garlic and spicy soy dipping sauces they offer are both so delicious. I enjoyed this meal way more than I thought I would. I would say the biggest gripe about this spot is it was so expensive for only 4 boned wings and fries. Over $18 for 4 wings and that's because it was the lunch special. Their wings don't normally come with fries

Just stopped by this café. I didn’t end up ordering anything for myself, but my wife did, and I have to say the service was genuinely five-star, one of the best service experiences I’ve had in a while. The main guy working there was incredibly kind, attentive, gave us a few freebies, and took the time to walk us through the menu. My wife got the cheese empanada, which was good. It had nice flavor and honestly tasted better than it looked, I’d give it around a 3.9/5. She also got the Biscoff la

The best kosher cafe in crown heights. Beautiful designed place with a delicious but carb heavy menu selection in the display. It is a little pricey at about $10 for many of the items which are not huge, but the flavors there are very good. Good service.

Extremely disappointing customer service. When we arrived, there was already a line of customers waiting on one side of the counter. Instead of informing us where to queue, the staff simply ignored the customers who had been waiting and proceeded to serve newly arrived customers. This created unnecessary confusion and was very frustrating. What was even more disappointing was that our drinks had been prepared, yet no one called out our order or notified us. We ended up waiting in the store for

The only good thing about this place? The food was decent. But everything else? Absolutely awful. First time here—and definitely the last! WARNING: Check the prices before you order! We were scammed. They charge whatever they want and hide behind the excuse of “we recently changed prices.” That’s NOT an excuse! If you want returning customers, be upfront and honest about your prices. We had a new waitress—she was very sweet, and honestly, I won’t even mention all the mistakes she made because
