“Every once and awhile you stumble on a gem 💎 in your neighborhood and you keep it close to your heart ❤—- and stomach!! Ive lived in Astoria for 11 years and ive had many many visits to HERO THAI & IZAKAYA & i can say with supreme confidence ive NEVER had a bad meal or experience here.. This might seem excessive but ive the background to make such a grand statement.. im a veteran restaurant nyc restaurant professional with 7-nytimes reviewed 3 star chefs ..& this is my place ALWAYS my first choice.. NOT because the food is soooooo delicious— the flavors and textures just bounce off the plate..NOT because they have genuine food lovingly presented and executed,NOT because they have excellent 🧊 icy frosty cold draft beer— SINGHA!!! NOT because the menu runs the gamut of AUTHENTIC THAI AND JAPANESE cuisine, NOT because the fish 🐠 tanks always provide excellent entertainment OR the gentle price point of everything on offer …A terrific HH with SINGHA draft beers 🍻, cocktail specials and lunch and dinner chefs additions..BUT for HERO’s warm gracious service and understanding what HOSPITALITY means— as a solo diner am i im always greeted with not only a smile but a genuine interest in my visit..and that’s a rare experience..MY personal favorites are takoyaki,chive pancake,duckroll,sweet chili jumbo wings— crispy duck salad,Larb beef,Mango and avocado salad,Spicy Shrimp Salad— And entree Pad-Ka-NaMoo Grob( stir fried Chinese broccoli( lan mai) with the crispiest pork belly lardons you will ever have— I ask for it spicy 🌶 but be careful thai chilis ARE HOTTTTT!! And my favorite soup DUCK UDON NOODLE SOUP—,i always have this on a cold rainy day and nothing is better..: Ive decided not to be selfish and share the glory of this sparkling gem— it hits a lot of sweet notes for me — with so many incredible options you have so many lovely choices— I have not had every dish but i do plan on trying— what an adventure!!! Give this place a go — you won’t regret it — it never disappoints.. they are always happy to see you — really.“

“I came in here for a quick lunch, and overall it’s a good spot for quick sushi. The girl at the register was also very sweet and polite.
I can say I probably won’t be ordering the bento box again. For $15, there are definitely better bento box options around. I just happened to have a craving and that’s what I wanted at the time.
The California roll was great and tasted fresh, but I wasn’t a fan of the teriyaki flavor, and it did hurt my stomach a bit. The gyozas were nicely crisp, but I didn’t really care for the filling. The miso soup was delicious, and I didn’t touch the veggie mix.
Overall, I’d come back for the sushi, but I’d probably order something different next time.“

“This is such a cute place and the food was delicious! I came here for dinner with a friend and I got the Crispy and Spicy Sesame Chicken Donburi which was divine. The decor inside is super cute and cozy plus the service is excellent — they were so welcoming and efficient. Didn’t try the ramen this time but my friend did and it looked amazing. I will absolutely be coming back so maybe next time! Anyways, definitely recommend if you’re in the area“

“this was my first time trying ramen and i loved it! i love that you can customize everything and get extra things on the side. i got the veggie ramen with extra scallions, garlic, and white rice. everything was delicious. i know they add some hot oil to it which was good but sometimes it was a bit spicy for me so i might not get that next time. i also didn't need extra scallions becuz it was a good amount in there.
i know this place is super authentic and a unique dining experience with the booths. i really like that. they don't do tips and only take card. i came around 4:30 on a tuesday and i got seated right away. everything was just wonderful. i would come back for sure.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Quick & Friendly service, delicious food and a great matcha latte! I got the tonkotsu, the chashu in it was very flavorful and tender. The broth was delicious, and the garlic paste, chilli powder, and chilli sesame oil at the table allowed me to adjust the spice & flavor to my preference. Food was ready within 5 minutes of ordering. Waiter was super friendly and helpful!“

“Ramen Misoya West Village is a cozy ramen spot specializing in rich, flavorful miso-based broths. The ramen is hearty and well-balanced, with deep umami flavors and satisfying textures. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. A great choice for a comforting bowl of ramen in NYC.“

“Definitely one of the best ramen broths I’ve had, and I try a lot. The broth is clean with crisp flavors. I ordered the Kara (which is the spicy) on the side. I decided to control the spice level on my own, the kick is good, but I didn’t want too much of it.
The grilled pork belly is a good side to add.
The space is packed, and cozy. The staff are friendly and very experienced.“

“Today I visited Kohoku Ku Ramen and ordered takoyaki and EBI ramen.
The food was really delicious. The takoyaki was crispy on the outside and soft inside, with a rich and flavorful sauce. The EBI ramen had a strong shrimp aroma, and the broth was rich and tasty.
I wasn’t feeling well today and had a stuffy nose, but the hot soup with a slightly spicy kick really helped clear my head. It felt so comforting and refreshing.
Overall, a great experience—definitely a place I would come back to!“

“I got the tonkatsu tsukemen and it was so good. The porky broth was perfect balance of garlic. It also came with bean sprouts, and egg, and 5 slices of pork. Great value. Also got the fried chicken and it was so soft and crispy with not a lot of batter. Service is great and everyone really cares here“

“Went to this establishment this week. The customer service ( Sawyer - our Table Staff professional ) was out of this world. The food was tasty, professionally presented and Portion size was large with a price point that is never seen these days. Pricing is beyond reasonable. Classy, elegant, yet very comfortable!“

“While I usually am not a fan of Ramen, the Ramen that I had at this location made me rethink my tastes. The selection of Ramen was wide enough for me to feel lole there were options, and the customer service alongside it was great. Such kind workers who had so much patience with my groups slow commitment to a meal. Would recommend to anyone!“

“We came in a party of five - two adults and three kids. We ordered one tsukemen, two ramen (deluxe and miso), one kid’s meal, and one fried chicken (karaage with Korean spicy sauce). All were delicious and filling. Anime is playing from a projector on the wall, which kept my boys occupied and quiet 😉. Staff were polite to us and the kids. I hope this place gets more attention that it deserves! Here is one photo from my meal (deluxe tsukemen).“

“Warm staff and delicious classic Japanese sushi.
The fish was incredibly fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned.
Might be the best spot in the Hudson yard area, and the locals seem to know it based on the take out order rate. Everything was delicious and efficient. Can’t wait to come back.“

“I got the basic Ramen and it was great! Next time I will add the extras. It was our first time so we didn’t know what to expect. Great texture and the broth was rich. Absolutely amazing! All I knew was that a friend said it was one of the most authentic places he has been to and he recommended that I try it while in New York! Not disappointed at all!!“

“Truly some of the best ramen I have ever had! The host who was our waiter, can’t remember their name was such an amazing person. It got busy and they did an excellent job of managing those eating, those who airing for a seat and the delivery options. The place is still new so can’t wait for it to become a neighborhood staple, it has the right menu, atmosphere, and staff.“

“The ramen here may not be the best in Manhattan, but the prices are very reasonable, especially for Manhattan. The service and atmosphere are both decent as well, making it a good option for a weekday lunch. Overall, it offers great value for the price, which is probably why it gets such high ratings.“

“The only all vegan ramen restaurant I know and it’s a franchise of the famous Japanese ramen restaurant Ippudo. All of the their ramen are rich and flavorful. They also have sushi and sandwiches, appetizers besides ramen which are also great. My non-vegan family and friends love it too.“
“Service is amazing. Comfortable seating and they always try to accommodate me despite big groups. SO amazingly kid friendly they even have a kid set and HH after the kids get off school. My kids love the toyo buns and the ramen. Go tonkotsu black for good broth. AND their smoothies and juices are made with fresh fruit!“

“This family-owned sushi spot offers a delightful dining experience with its four-table area. The menu boasts a wide variety of flavors, and the owners provide exceptional service. One of the great advantages is their extended closing hours, allowing diners to enjoy their meal without the rush of closing restaurants. Come give it a try, it’s definitely worth it.“

“So I used to work in a ramen shop a while back and have tried several of the popular and some now closed ramen shops in NYC (like Ippudo, Ivan, Totto, Andante, Minca, Ichiran). However, Karazishi Botan is top-tier, if not the best ramen in NYC. This local gem always hits, be it unique takes on Tonkotsu, Tsukemen, or Tokyo-style Shoyu. Broth, noodles, and toppings all executed excellently and with great attention to detail. Their giant karaage and yuzu asahi draft also worth mentioning! They even gave my wife and I a rose when we stopped in on Valentine’s Day. Usually like to gate keep places like these but highly recommend visiting !“
