If you're in Flushing and looking for an unforgettable culinary experience, look no further than 包不同美食坊 on Kissena Blvd. This authentic Henan restaurant is a hidden gem that serves food bursting with flavor and tradition. I had the pleasure of visiting for breakfast, and I couldn't resist trying their signature lamb braised soup noodles. Wow! The dish was an absolute revelation. The broth was hearty and fulfilling, perfectly seasoned and rich with flavors that transport you straight to Henan. E

I read the other reviews and decided to chance it. I went with my sister and as we entered the restaurant 3 people were standing there and not one of them greeted us. After Standing there we asked the woman behind the counter if we can sit anywhere she nonchalantly told us yes either front or back it is a rather large space. We decided to sit up front where they were. We sat and she brought out menus, 5 mins later she brought 2 glasses of water and went about her business. We looked at menus and

My first experience at D. Salam surly wii not be my last. I had an amazing and meaningful experience especially to find out that the woman who prepared the meals prepared them on her own for the day and although there were supposed to be other cooks to help her out there she'd been the only one to take on the responsibility. I enjoyed the music selection while waiting on my meal to be prepared. I also had the opportunity to watch the one coworker that did attend prepare Sorel for the fridge and

Wonderful coffee shop on a vibrant street. Love the coffee and vibe. You feel the good energy right when you walk in from the staff, decor on the walls, and the folks writing, chatting, working, and of course drinking coffee here. Special place.

Wow, what a beautiful pastrami sandwich (half) and matzo ball soup! Also had a hot tea and lovely dessert. What a nice and relaxing environment! Thanks! (Glad we got your hours updated on Google maps!)

I had such a great experience thanks to Denise! She was incredibly nice, funny, and attentive the entire time. She kept checking in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, which really made a difference. The whole staff was also very friendly and welcoming, creating such a positive atmosphere. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. I will definitely be coming back again!

I've been wanting to try this place and was so happy to see them open in the UES which is way closer to me! We tried the odyssey, the cyclops, the ithaca, the athena & the penelope. They were all delicious but our top picks were the odyssey, cyclops & ithaca! If you're not sure what to get, they have mini versions! The cookies were warm, ooey, gooey and not too sweet. Think mini cookie skillets! We dined in and Angelos was super sweet and accommodating (: Highly recommend and we will be stoppin

Hidden gem, best coffee in Williamsburg! Pastries taste great too. Owner Evan is a big part of our local community - he really cares about every customer and pays attention to the little things, which is rare in hospitality these days. 10/10 recommend

A steakhouse that makes the experience super streamlined, where something can be the most simple, taste phenomenal, flavorful, and satisfying. Shawn was my server and he nothing short of exceptional. Thank you! I will be back!

I got the gut health plate, and I noticed there wasn’t avocado on it, and the staff quickly helped! So filling and good for the price ($10.99)! This is my second time at Pure Eats and I will definitely be back. The atmosphere is great too. I don’t even work out here I just come for lunch mid-work day.

Honestly, so dissatisfied & disappointed in the way the quality/service went down after they opened. I used to come so often and everything was great until recently. In one of my most recent orders , I ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries. It cost $16 but comes out to around $18 for the cup with taxes. For the price I expected a nicely filled cup , but what I received was literally just strawberries. I paid $18 for a cup of strawberries and a splash of pistachio and a touch of chocolate. Whe

Stopped by for brunch on a Sunday morning with a group of five. We’re all locals but had never been here before. The space felt calm and relaxed—easy to have a conversation without feeling rushed or crowded. There was plenty of seating and no wait, which was a nice surprise for a Sunday. The food was solid with a small breakfast menu, and prices felt below market for Forest Hills (let’s keep that our little secret). A great neighborhood spot for casual, low-pressure dining when you just want

Great Jamaican food. First time there this morning and I enjoyed every bit of food I ate. Will try and save a little for later. Told the server that they should start delivery services. If not directly, then through a third party service.

Wow really good food! Definitely a basic restaurant in terms of tables and chairs and decor, but the food is so delicious and the service is great. The fresh soft bread is huge and so yummy and only like $3. We got the Mandy Lamb with rice which was excellent, and the hummus. The tea is black and sweet and the music was beautiful! Definitely will return. Definitely recommend. Decent prices too. Oh and the soup and salad were both delish! Like a curry chicken broth and tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuc

this spot has quickly become one of my faves. every single dish I’ve tried has been amazing: the tomato & egg noodle is comforting and flavorful, the congee is well done, and the pork rib noodle is cooked to perfection. portions are generous, the staff is the sweetest, and the whole experience reminds me of home. highly recommend if you’re craving delicious, authentic chinese food with heart

CAREFREE CAFE 🥇🥇 A simple yet elegant cafe situated on a busy bike path. The open doors are very inviting and beckons you to sit down. I passed 30 cafes on the way from Long Island and finally decided to peek inside. One sip of the cappuccino and I was cheerful. The scone was decent too. Really enjoyed sitting here in the calmness, yet observing the busy cyclists cruising pass 😊 Water refill station available 🙏🏻

This wine bar is a GEM. The atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming with impeccable interior design down to the exposed brick that looks a bit like earthy coffee beans. It feels European and festive and the staff is extremely kind, attentive. Great place to catch up with friends or go on a date. I think there’s also live music in the evenings in the weekends.
