50 Best Seafood Restaurants near East Elmhurst

“Muy buena la atención y por supuesto la comida“

“Fantastic! Can’t wait to return. ❤️“

“I did enjoy the food but most was the service extremely friendly and professional“

“This location used to host the China Chef restaurant back in the 60's/80's, a really nice slightly upscale Chinese restaurant. My first taste of Asian American cuisine. Unfortunately the China Chef is long gone.
J.J. Garden which now occupies this location makes some of the tastiest Chinese American dishes that I've had the pleasure to enjoy in a long time. Their Fried rice dishes are outstanding. Made on demand, not bulk prepared. Now that's the way it's supposed to be! Their Beef with Broccoli is perfect, with just tender broccoli and perfectly cooked beef.
I'll cut this review short here, and just say that if you like properly prepared Chinese American food JJ Garden is worth the trip.
BTW pricing is reasonable, not cheap but also not expensive.“

“Excellent lunch, the seafood platter for 2 featuring fresh succulent whole lobster, scallops, shrimp, calamari and white fish. Accented by rich flavor from the sauce and rice. Fresh traditional flatbread that puffs up on baking tasted delicious.“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“Very Fresh and amazing service and atmosphere.“

“One of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I got the New York strip, medium, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Ylem for taking such great care of us and making the whole experience even better!“

“Happy hour chef's choice oysters and the rainbow ceviche were delish—especially the ceviche with the passion fruit miso sauce! Parker rolls were mediocre. Hush puppies were yummy with a lil spice to them. Aperol spritz= refreshing. Our server Stacey was great!“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“Too bad there aren’t more stars to click on. As a Sicilian/Italian every time I go to an Italian restaurant I have to always settle for the close enough. Not this time at Piccola Cucina Estiatorio, 71 Thompson Street NYC. After seeing their extremely authentic Sicilian menu online I knew that it had to be the real thing. After easily reserving a table online we showed up with yes our hopes being very high. For the first time the food was everything I had hoped for. 1. Arancini: nicely crunchy and flavored. Not oily or old at all. 2. Grilled veggies: although simply presented they were really tasty and fresh. 3. Involtini: out of this world. Exactly made like in my town in Sicily. A Moist, tender, flavored with some really tasty mozzarella cheese, served on a nice bed of caponata. 4. Maccheroni alla Norma: finally my very favorite dish. I almost cried. Besides a fantastic pasta, rigorously cooked al dente, there was a more than generous amount of diced eggplant, obviously, with basil leaves, olive oil and everything the Mediterranean has so generously given to Sicily for thousands of years. It’s worth mentioning the more than welcome grated “ricotta salata” as a testimony to the high attention to detail of Chef Gioele. That was a dinner I will not easily forget. The last thing I want to say is that, according to the highly professional and attentive staff, almost every single ingredient in this restaurant is flown directly from Sicily including the very tasty cannoli filled with ricotta cheese. (The cheese flies frozen during shipping). Sorry for the long review. I only wanted to show my super happiness with this restaurant. ANGELO.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“Had dinner at Tavern 157 with friends last night and had such a great experience! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Definitely try the foie gras uni and oysters. They also have an amazing happy hour menu—perfect for a night out with friends!“

“Great food - better service. Mason was absolutely wonderful. He helped walked us through the special dishes and his favorites, all of which we tried and were not disappointed. The shrimp parm is an absolute must - as well as the clam pasta. It’s quite different from any other clam pasta I’ve ever had but in a delectable way. The iceberg wedge salad was also delicious. Overall, great experience.“

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“Every item we tried here was super tasteful, and extraordinary.
The pasta and corn dish are must!(unfortunately they were out of sardine toast)

My only wish they’d get their sourdough from a better bakery.“

“The best Korean cold noodle in Manhattan—and maybe all of NYC! They’re Pyongyang-style cold noodles served in a mild, delicate broth. The noodles have a high buckwheat content. I would rank them alongside some of the top-tier, authentic cold noodle houses in South Korea. A little more generous amount of garnish would be great, though.

Hwangtae hot noodles come in a clean, delicate, yet flavorful broth, finished with fresh perilla oil. I could tell high-quality ingredients (pollock and perilla oil) were used.

I truly enjoyed them. The sides and appetizers were high quality as well. I would visit this place again.“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“They just revamped their menu and I’m all here for it! My favorites were the rice noodle rolls wrapped with tofu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, carrots and preserved radish, Thai beef stew and the Panang short ribs. The beef stew was SO tender and collagen rich, literally every bite was melt in your mouth. Short ribs, also as expected, tender and flavorful. The Thai ice cream was a perfect finish - sweet toppings, cold coconut ice cream, warm pandan sticky rice - all different flavors and textures but all work together in harmony.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Had gone for an early evening catch-up meeting with a friend. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Great selection of wines and even better was the 'art of recommending' the right wine. We accomobied the wine and discussions with Sushil unrolled and Chicory salad, both tastes great and were the right size for 2.
Place has a certain energy about it that add to having great conversations at the restaurant.“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“Great happy hour ($13 for 6 oysters and a beer, option for a small upcharge for wine instead) and rotates which oysters are available for the deal. All appetizers were also great and I’d heartily recommend the marlin crudo! Everything was delicious and the staff was efficient and offered insight into differences/preferences. Would absolutely return!“

“We hadn't been to Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare in a while, and the staff remembered what we ordered last time. That tells you about the level of service and the management behind it, not just the food.

Marc and Max are cooking at a level that earns every star — fifteen courses and the execution never slipped once. The Hokkaido uni with king crab and geoduck was my favorite bite of the night. And the dessert was to die for — not one but two, the tropical refresher and then the Fujisan bread with soy caramel and Japanese whiskey. Leave some room. This is what a Michelin restaurant is supposed to feel like.“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“Loved this place!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“The best sushi I ever had.Friendly chef and attentive staff.“

“Nice location and friendly staff, reasonable menu“

“service and food was amazing“

“OMG Five ✨ I loved the options, the prices, the camaraderie of the staff! Food was sooo well priced, you pick your portion size and how it’s cooked!! Get the Greek salad but plan to share with a few friends. I’ll be back!!“

“The soups and quinoa falafel 🥙 are out of this world . Mouth waters just thinking about next time I will be eating these items“

“I don't throw this around often, but this was easily one of the best tasting menus I've ever had!!! I’m not even gassing it. Flawless, no misses, no notes! Every course was creative, beautifully executed and packed with flavor combinations I never would've imagined.

Tucked in the back is an intimate chef's counter serving a seven-course tasting menu. Watching the chefs work right in front of you while every course is personally introduced makes the entire dinner feel like a story unfolding course by course. Some of my favs: The Lox, Chicken Wing, Pork Collar + Olive Oil Cake.

If you're looking for your next special occasion dinner or you're just a foodie who appreciates an unforgettable meal add this one to your list. Trust me!!“
