Restaurants in Long Island City

“This place was amazing. I found out about it through the KoreanEnglishman and came up from Virginia to try it. The food was stunning and the staff was very kind. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever enjoyed.”

“Good food! Loved the grilled octopus and branzino -- a must try! Lobster pasta was tasty but it was a bit on the sweeter side; I would skip it next time. Focaccia was unique but I think it's a bit overhyped. Overall, service was friendly, food was good, and the ambiance was chill. I would definitely go back.”

“For a micro brewery, they sure do have varieties. For those of who are sick of the IPA revolution, we have options! But don't worry if you love IPAs, they have those too. Best dogs. Best trivia. Best rotation of food vendors. Favorite brewery in NYC”

“Definitely the best cocktail bar in Astoria at this moment. Best place for a friend gathering or a date. The few places in Astoria where you can talk to someone without shouting over the music, while still having privacy with the volume level.The vibes, the exceptional service that you can’t really find anywhere, my group of 6 friends were accommodated last minute no problem. Rare find. Recommend to anyone looking for an intimate place in this area. Great bar selection!”

“Walked in to order for takeaway. Perhaps it being a weekday, was served quickly. We enjoyed the spicy chicken, it’s an excellent supplement to our home cook meal. Will definitely patronise again ?”

“My husband and I have eaten here twice: both times we’ve enjoyed delicious pizza, pasta, wine, coffee, and desserts. The staff are attentive and kind without hovering. Most recently, a couple and their young son were having dinner too. Beebe’s is a great choice for so many different people and families.”

“This is a lovely little bistro. My brother and I went for brunch. We shared the endive and bleu cheese salad for a starter and I had the french toast with fresh fruit. Both dishes were amazing. The servers are really friendly and very attentive. Tres magnifique!”

“A really cute mom-and-pop Japanese restaurant in LIC/Astoria. Came in for lunch and absolutely loved the vibes here❣️They have a very straight-forward lunch menu and I thought the pricing was so good given the quality and the portion of everything. We got the Sashimi+Sushi set and the Ramen+Sushi set and it was such a satisfying meal! Would definitely like to return :)”

“One of the great restaurants on LIC for brunch! I was there with a party of 5 and we were immediately seated for our reservation. It was a beautiful day outside so the ambiance and vibes were great; people were all having a good time. We ordered the pancakes, avocado toast, and eggs benedict; they were all pretty good. The service was a bit spotty but overall, we had a good experience.”

“A decent, old school neighborhood Italian joint. I love places like this for the ambiance, novelty, owners/service, and obviously the food! They brought out bread to start which was good but not spreads or oil were offered. They have a huge board of specials they bring to your table and I got the lavender cocktail special--tasty at first but all too sugary and I traded my friend for his wine. I wasn't overly hungry so I got the octopus appetizer and a small salad. The octopus was grilled to perfection and plated well. The end of the tail was super crispy. The salad had a good balance of flavors with apple, dried cherries, and hazelnut, but was too drenched in dressing for my taste. Since I didn't even get an entree, I plan on coming back since I love to support a business like this. Prices were pretty good and it had a homey atmosphere with a lot of celebrations going on on a late Saturday night. At this point I'm still a bigger fan of manducatis down the street but manettas is worth it just for the little Italian shop they have in the front.”

“I was here a couple weeks ago. Very welcoming and friendly. I came here by myself sat at the bar. The attention to detail was there, the bartender was great with information on Japanese whiskey and cocktails. The dessert was blew my tastes bud away.”

“Chucho's Hot Dogs is a great place to grab a delicious and creative hot dog. Their menu offers classic options alongside signature creations, with high-quality ingredients. They even allow for customization so you can build your own hot dog exactly how you like it. If you're looking for a fun and flavorful hot dog experience, Chucho's Hot Dogs is definitely worth checking out!”

“I love this place and the woman and man who work there. Super friendly. Whether you order a burger, quesadillas or a panini, it's always just perfectly warm (the way I like my food) and tasty.”

“boyfriend and i’s occasional date spot, soup is always rich compared to more authentic ramen shops but sometimes im in the mood for a food coma lol. service is good and the place can really fill up over nights and weekends. alcohol section pairs well with the food well but can be a bit pricey. they have a good lunch special going through the week if you’re available in the morning and early afternoon time, and its conveniently right next to a gelato store for dinner and dessert.one thing that bugs me is how damn tight the tables are together, you will try getting up from your booth and stick ya butt right in someones dinner or visa versa. not great and perhaps they sacrifice a table or so for a more accessible space for diners.”

“Amazing service at Sami’s Kabab House LIC!! Me and my friends (group of 5) came here after class to break our fast during Ramadan and it was such an amazing experience. Service was courteous, fast, and excellent, we were seated immediately and given refreshments. We got the family combo, and each bite was perfection. Every kebab, especially the chicken tikka and lamb shank was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Their kabuli pulao is also 10/10, some of the best I’ve had hands down! You can tell the owner takes real pride in what they do! It’s in an excellent neighborhood and I think everyone should come by and try this place. Worth every single penny spent, and I can’t stop recommending it enough. You’ve won our hearts Sami’s Kabab House, and we will definitely be back!! ❤️”

“The apps and entree are terrific!!Mike, the bartender, knows his stuff and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!@Parking: The parking lot is small but lots of street parking is available. But who cares the drinks, bartender, and food are terrific!!”

“Place is over 130 years old!! Talking about real history.Good food ( Picture shows a Hamburger with blue cheese and bacon) and Good beer. Tap lines are clean And well kept.”

“Delicious food ... fresh ... special lunch rates and above all... service! Outstanding ... they were friendly, courteous, ready when needed and yet respectful.of boundaries! That's why I keep coming back!”

“Amongst the 3 of us, we had a salad, three entrees, and two desserts. The agnolotti was absolutely spectacular. The pasta was perfect with a creamy cheese filling, and the sauce with its slightly lemony flavor was well complimented by the peas and scallions. The little peppers were sweet and fresh, and they added so much flavor. The white cheesecake and raspberry sorbet was light and beautiful. And the tiramisu was perfect. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was cool. I would definitely return here in a minute!”

“My fiancé and I have been walking past this location for over a year and finally found the time to go in. Once we walked in and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of “regulars” that knew the staff, we knew were in a good place! The food and service is fantastic. Everything that we had was full of flavor and melted in your mouth. We started with the stuffed green plantains with shredded beef and then had the Lechon Asado con mojo criollo and Rib eye steak with a side of sweet plantains. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They were very appreciative of our compliments. The only thing we regret is not going in there sooner!side note: the skirt steak must be very good because 5/6 people next to us ordered it for their dinner!”

“We enjoyed the delicious foods of lemak kitchen at the Bryant park stall. Malaysian born and raised here, and their food reminded me of home. We tried the nasi lemak and it was fresh, authentic, and honestly hard to match outside of Malaysia. Very well done Kesh and team. We went back 2 more times on different days to eat it. My wife and I highly recommend.”

“Just the absolute best customer service. The winter storm delayed my delivery for 12/23. UPS was saying the delivery was changed to 12/27!!They reached out to UPS to arrange Saturday delivery. Christmas was saved!!”

“Wonderful view of city skyline coupled with amazing food and services making this place a must visit. The menu is diverse from several styles of Asian cuisine, Thai, Northern Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, all with quality ingredients, cook with passion for the American palate. Their drink menu is amazing and the Lychee Martini is heavenly! Most importantly the portion great for the reasonably priced items. I would either take a cab or subway. Parking is not easy!Kid-friendliness: A place for families of all size!”

“This is hands down my favorite Chinese food spot in all of Astoria!! I swear by their Chicken Lo Mein and the egg rolls are always perfectly crispy! I order from here like twice a week tbh. Genuinely love this place.”

“its pretty decent close to where I am pricing is Ok affordable they usually do a good job i just do nt like to eat @ the same place all the time cuz i know how to cookVegetarian options: kung pow is good shrimp rolls are decent vegetable dumplings are OK wonton soup is good not that i eat it anymore i used to sesame noodle is alright fried n fish is OK broccoli n tofu is OK”

“Me and my friend casually passed by and gave this place a try, without a doubt it was the BEST decision we made! We love this place and its our go-to spot now. The music is great, they have great deals on their drinks and food for happy hour. The place is very clean and very well organized. The aesthetic is amazing too super great for pictures! And if youre sitting at the bar youll meet the greatest bartender ever, Francisco!!!! Hes the best, has great energy, Makes great drinks and gives great recommendations on drinks when we’re indecisive. Francisco is the real reason we love it there so much! :) overall great place!”

“Known on google now as "Antojito's," this is the REAL DEAL. Tastes just like food made in Colombia, and the portions size match (in Colombia serving are hefty, as they should be!) so it's win-win here. The service is quick and will encourage you to come back. I know I'll be back soon!”

“It is very convenient to pay in cash through the order terminal. The fastest and most convenient thing, so as not to stand at the checkout and wait for yourqueue”

“i want to update my january 2023 review,i want to list the names of the workers that are so freindly , know what you are ordering as you walk in the door. i wish i could come here daily. but 2 times a week is great from the manager NILUFATO THE WORKERS RATNA,RUMIKADERAFSANA. THANKS FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL.”

“My go-to for sandwiches. The Newtown Special is my favorite. I love that they deliver and you can order household items too such as toilet paper and milk. Highly recommend!”

“This is a typical Macdonald with all the necessary elements to enjoy a meal. However, when those students arrive from their schools, they make a lot of noise and use vulgar language...it's so scary to go there. People are very loud when using their phones!”

“I came to New York from Japan 7 years ago, and for the first time I saw an employee at a McDonald's in New York cleaning screens, counters, etc. when his hands were free. This store is always clean. Sure there may be delays when there are a lot of delivery orders being concentrated, but they try their best to serve their customers quickly.”

“Mahmud got the order I put in on the app perfect, admittedly it was a bit high-maintenance (extra this, less that etc.) but he served it with a smile in less wait time than was estimated.”

“First time trying out delicious savory crepe Chinese style! A friendly and helpful gentleman helped me order what I want. Will be back for sure. We tried #1 classic and #6 with turkey ham and pork floss. Both were very tasty. FYI, no cc, cash, Zelle or Venmo.”

“Great food. Amazing staff! regular menu is always a hit.. but the New brunch menu Sat & Sun? ! It is off the hook! Check out margarita Mondays for some tasty margs & vibes! So many great events.. Djs every other Fridays right after trivia… Def a hidden gem in sunny side ?”

“Excellent service on the phone and in person. I ordered the fish biriyani and the fish was super tender as well as the rice. The seasonings were perfect and not overly spiced, the plate was affordable and filling, and it came out fast. The restaurant is like a banquet style setup so good for casual dinners or celebrations, it is a little bit of a smaller space though.Highly recommend this spot!”

“Best halal food with the best prices. I go here almost every day and the owner is a very friendly nice person. so is the staff.May God’s blessings and peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad, and may God’s blessings be upon his companions and descendants, and may God make this restaurant flourish with business as long as it is open, and may God keep all the ingredients of this shawarma fresh and delightful. Peace and peace, may God’s blessings be upon the Prophet and his companions and followers, and may God’s blessings and peace be upon the righteous predecessors, Paradise.On them constantlySay Ameen”

“Quick place to grab coffee. The coffee was delicious and I wasn't expecting a little latte art, but I got it ? If I was ever just chilling in the area, I can definitely see myself grabbing a cup and sitting there to work. The machine sounds are perfect if you prefer white-noise while you get some work done :)”

“Fantastic food! The grilled calamari was the star dish - beautifully cooked with some great flavors! As was the octopus, patatas brava and the paella valencia. Also the sangria was delicious - fruity and boozy - and went down really well with the food. Good service too. Will definitely head back for more tapas and sangria soon.”

“They have the best chicken parmesan period. Simply amazing. I always come back here every time I'm in Astoria. Note that the picture shared is only half of what they serve. The other half went to my daughter. They were nice to add extra pasta with marinara.”

“The attention to detail on my daughter's birthday cake exceeded our expectations. Not only was it gorgeous, it tasted delicious. I did not request the ombré and can't imagine the work that went into making each layer. The chocolate cake was so good and the doll was neatly tucked inside. Everyone at the party was impressed.”

“We liked it! The Khao Soi is a little different than I'm used to. It had more spices, a bit less creamy. My DC had the Duck Tamarind, he said it was very good. I'll keep it in mind the next time we're up for Thai. I want to try the Green Curry, and the soft shell crab.”

“Wow! What an experience, literally one of the best bars in L.I.C. The bartender Paula was courteous, attentive, and hysterical. She made our time here feel as if we were among family. Bonus, they have one of the best menus on the neighborhood, personal favorite are their McGantry nuggets, five plus stars.”

“The best made to order pizza out there … well at least for bar standards lol. Seriously, the pizza is great and the music on Sundays. Phenomenal w the band Pocket Sand / Trampleman who have been there for 12 years!! Sundays 9 ”

“I was craving for Lamingtons for weeks! Tried to find a bakery that sells them. Found Sans Bakery & ordered online, it came in a nice box, beautifully packed & best of all, their lamingtons are superb! Perfect for tea time!”

“Perfect local shop for coffee, homemade pastries, and sandwiches. Today’s just-out-of-the-oven mixed berry scones were absolutely out of this world — juicy berries within the best scone I have ever eaten!”

“There are a lot of fantastic Thai spots around the city. This one is fine. Food was good enough that I would go back if I was in the area, but wouldn’t seek it out.”

“Grew up in Queens eating Singas Pizza from the 1980’s to 2000, then moved to the Hudson Valley. Happen to be in Queens with the family and decided to have them savor the Sjngas that I grew up eating. The personal pizzas of which they have many different topping variations has just the right thickness and crispy crust. The tomato sauce and cheese are just perfect with the crust. Every bit of flavor was just as I remembered and my family all agreed and enjoyed every bit of it. Singas has many different locations throughout NY and they all have the same consistent amazing taste. This location is inside a supermarket and it’s part of their food court so the ambience is just as you would expect from a food court.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian toppings.”

“I ate here twice before in 2020 and it was my first time getting food from a "Checkers Restaurant" lol I've lived in nyc all my life but I just never went . But this one in LIC I had to try because it's been around since I was a kid and honestly? The food was awesome the place was clean and staff was actually pretty nice I love to see that this place is still in business because the area is forever changing”

“2023 - Great salad, quick service2024 - App is trash, constantly crashes. When you go to pick up your food they act like everyone is a thief. I tell you my name and you say I don't see it, did you send it here? And low and behold my order was bagged and waiting for me.HELLO WENDY'S EMPLOYEES - - > Not everyone is going to steal your food. There are STILL working people who BUY your food because we CAN afford to.”

“Solid prices, strong drinks, and nice bartenders - what more could you ask. Also great location outside my favorite produce grocer so will grab groceries and a few drinks for a wild night ;)”

“Love this place, old school neighborhood pub! Best sports bar in Sunnyside, lots of TVs. And as a Guinness lover, I'll say also Flynns has the best Guinness in Queens, possibly in Manhattan AND it's a great price. Go Man U!”

“I was waiting for my car to be serviced nearby and found this little cafe.Went in for coffee and I was pleasantly surprised to find how clean the place is. Never expected from small place like this.The guy was awesome and I received very warm welcome.I ordered a coffee which was served in no time. I also grabbed a banana and this guy just told me you can have it for free as you are here for the first time! How cool is that. I wish I lived nearby and this would have been my go to place every time.I wish them all the best for their business!”

“This bar is seriously my favorite pub. The bar tenders are responsive and conversational amd with most bartenders there are generous buy-backs. The patrons are kind, fun and conversational. I drink a bit, and am loyal to the place where shane McGowan was a regular in recent times past. Ask for aron, eric, or robbie and these blokes will treat you right.”

“I've been coming here since I was wee legal pup and have always found a seat at the bar and that will always hold a place in my heart. Best days are Thurs - Sat 11am​ - 4 :)”

“Stopped by because I always pass here! The tacos were good and came with a lot of meat. They added cilantro and onions. Next time I'll probably add cheese and sour cream. They do not serve guacamole. They have a lot of Latin ingredients for sale. If you need specific ingredients for the perfect salsa or Mexican dish you can find it here. The prices are inexpensive and great for a quick lunch or dinner. It's more of a deli not a restaurant!”

“I was staying at a hotel across the street in NY for vacation and this store was open when I arrived. The sandwich is thick and it was super delicious! The service was okay and the grocery store look dirty, but they sure make good sandwiches!”

“Hi, I'm Trish,I live right up the block from Kate’s Corner Cafe. I have known her since she graced Astoria & Long Island City with delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches and omelet platters. Every time I go there, I order everything so mouthwatering that I want to order for three or four people. Very professional personalities are great there. Everyone who works there is exemplary. Kate is very down-to-earth, warmhearted, and friendly to everyone she needs. They get the orders done as soon as possible, especially for all of those working people that go there that have only so much time for lunch.Her business has expanded to one of the colleges in the area. Oh, to top it all, she does catering. Yes, did I tell you she also has a food truck? And to top it all, she does catering. She can do it all. If you want some excellent food in the area and beyond, please check them out.I go back repeatedly; thank you so much, Kate, for making great food for our area.Thank you for being a great friend!!!?????? ? ??”

“this place is excellent food is always great staff these guys are the nicest people in the world place is spotless even has a nice bathroom selection in drinks is insane coffee is the ”

“I kept thinking, why don't they have a place that sells smoothies, juices, sandwiches and grain bows that's simple nearby? They do! And it's not bad.”

Definitely recommend! Wish we had enough room to try it all but sadly we don't ? oh, our total was 27.33 plus tip 4.23 total amount 32.46. Not bad at all!”

“My go to spot for an after work drink. Great atmosphere, great people, and great prices. If you are looking for that CHEERS environment this is the place to go. Everyone knows your name.”

“Good food! Loved the grilled octopus and branzino -- a must try! Lobster pasta was tasty but it was a bit on the sweeter side; I would skip it next time.

“I went on a Wednesday during the lunch rush. This store is on the smaller side with limited seating options but service was quick. I ordered mobile pickup and they did a great job, fast, delicious, and a lot of meat!”

“First time here. I was total unaware about everything. Whoever was working at the front desk - lady was super nice. She helped me understand about the card and how to use it. It just nice to know someone like that working at the front desk and helping people specially nowadays. We enjoyed it and it was very spacious.”

“Had an amazing meal here coming all the way from Georgia! Best Cubano sandwich I’ve had in my life and very friendly service too. If I ever come back to New York I know exactly where I’m taking whoever comes with me.”

“I love this little bakery/cafe/lounge! The desserts looked fresh and tasted great ! The mini pecan pie and mini apple pies were so yummy! They warm it up for you and if you want ice cream (ala mode) they have that too! So happy we found it after dinner next to the restaurant we initially went to . So many pastries to choose from!

“Coffee was good and my wife enjoyed her cocktail. We never seen black salt on a drink. The staff was nice but they did take a little long to cut a piece of cake and banana loaf. The carrot cake was great but the banana loaf was not so much. Tasted bland and burnt but I doubt they made it to order. Needless to say I finished ever crumb of my cake and only one bite was taken out of that “loaf.” Otherwise cool place would be back to see how the evenings are”
