“SHAKALAKA Bakery in Flushing is one of the more visually polished modern Chinese bakeries in the area and a reliable stop if you’re looking for cakes, pastries, or grab-and-go sweets that feel a bit more updated compared to traditional bakeries nearby.
The mango-based cakes are the most consistent thing here. They’re light, creamy, and built around fresh fruit rather than overly heavy frosting, which makes them easy to finish even after a full meal. The matcha cake also works well, leaning more milky than bitter, with a soft sponge that holds its structure without feeling dry. The pork floss cakes are one of the more interesting savory-sweet options, and they’re better than expected if you’re used to standard bakery versions since they don’t go overboard on sweetness.
The croissants and egg tarts are solid supporting items rather than the main reason to come. The croissants are flaky with a noticeable butter layer, and the egg tarts are best when eaten warm since the custard tightens up when cold. The purple rice desserts are heavier but work if you want something more filling and texturally different from the fruit cakes.
Service is generally efficient even when the bakery is busy, and the layout is set up for quick selection rather than lingering. Prices sit a bit higher than older-style Flushing bakeries, but the tradeoff is cleaner presentation, more modern flavor combinations, and consistently fresh-looking cakes.“

“Tried the cinnamon bun latte on my first visit and loved it! Tiffany, the barista, was so friendly and enthusiastic, taking the time to explain the menu and share her personal favorites. I also noticed how kind and welcoming she was with every customer, not just me. Her customer service impressed me so much that I returned the very next day! The cookie butter latte was delicious, and the ciabatta panini was fresh and full of flavor. Tiffany recognized me and was just as sweet and accommodating as the day before. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu, but especially to see Tiffany! It’s rare to find someone who genuinely loves what they do, and her warmth, positive energy, and constant smile make all the difference. She’s truly an asset to this business! ☕💚“

“The fish is always fresh, and it’s great that you can customize the options to add extra ingredients that you want. The service is also good. They also give you free homemade soda when you order above a certain amount. This is our go-to spot when we crave this type of fish dish.“

“A buddy at work told me about this little beauty on the corner of 97th & 23rd Ave in East Elmhurst so I said I'd give it a try & it did not disappoint. It's a nice clean & bright restaurant with some tables & chairs outside & inside with two countertops & seating for 8 people on high stools & a small table & 2 chairs, nice AC blowing cool air. The server was very nice and they had the World Cup on TV & music playing down low. I ordered the double Burger Queen w/ truffle fries & a can of coke zero. The burger was moist tasteful sauces delicious & fried onions give it that extra taste. I saw some comments about burger & fries too salty (THEY WEREN'T) The truffle fries again were absolutely delicious so once I was done I went and ordered another double Burger Queen. This will be my go to for a delicious tasting burger & fries. I will try the triple with a fried egg next time. Listen, it's worth the visit. G'WAN YA WON'T BE SORRY 😉“

“Best maiko matcha place ever. I always get my matcha ice cream and lavender lemonade here because it's always made quickly and pure. I love it so much, and I love the workers here too; they're never rude or unprofessional. They get your order fast and kindly.“

“Finding a genuinely great banh mi right now is like finding a legal parking spot in NYC, highly contested, and an absolute miracle when you finally do. Banh Mi TBD is that miracle.
While half the city is trying to reinvent the sandwich with bizarre trendy fusions, this place respects the foundations. The baguette has that perfect, violent crunch that will aggressively exfoliate the roof of your mouth, while the inside is packed with the exact right ratio of savory meats to fresh, pickled veggies. Do yourself a favor and stick with the Classic, paired with a Vietnamese iced coffee. Fair warning on the coffee: it’s so strong you might vibrate into another dimension, or at least finally get all your errands done in record time.
If you're hunting for the real deal, want actual authentic flavors, this is the spot.“

Nice spot with super clean ambience. Located in the third floor of the Indigo hotel. Pancakes with whipped cream and mango on top was amazing also the burger was great as well as the kimchi fried rice. Soft shell crab could've def been better but things were great as a whole.
Highly recommended and will be back myself real soon as im in flushing for shopping and food with the fam., often.“

“We were one of the first to visit on the opening day and this is our 5th time dining again. We’ve tried most of the items on the menu. The food is always delicious, and the service is wonderful. Our waitress, Ms. Choi, is especially attentive and always makes sure we’re satisfied with our food and experience. I also love the atmosphere—it’s warm and inviting. We’ve had a great experience every time, and we will definitely be coming back again!“

“Stopped by for a quick meal while we wandering around Flushing taking care of some errands. I ordered the Tasting menu which came with a Lobster Salad, A5 Wagyu, some Sushi, and some pudding, along with some Sunte Bay Clams.
Everything was good and the service was quick and professional. There are a ton of restaurants around downtown flushing so this place has a lot of competition.
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and in the mood for some fancy food.“

“Bao Boom is a great spot for authentic Shanghai-style pan-fried buns (生煎包). The buns have a perfectly crispy bottom, a soft and fluffy top, and a juicy, flavorful filling. The combination of textures makes every bite delicious. If you’re craving traditional Shanghai comfort food, this place is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended!“

“The Peking Duck here is tasty with rich flavor and crispy skin, but the meat itself was a bit too tough and chewy, making it hard to bite through cleanly. While the seasoning and presentation were enjoyable, the texture of the duck could definitely be improved for a better dining experience.“
“Great price points, great service, and amazing desserts. The desserts here are so well done, and places like this are exactly what make Flushing so special. The menu here is extensive and unique. Where else in the US are you going to find stuff like this?
I got the lychee rose coconut pudding dessert, which comes with lychee and rose and coconut pudding served right inside a young coconut. They even give you a special spoon designed just for scraping the pulp out of the coconut at the end, which was a great touch. We also got the coconut milk purple rice ice sweet bowl, which was delicious and packed with toppings. We also tried the roasted pears with peach gum and snow lotus seeds. It was not too sweet, tasted incredibly authentic, and felt genuinely unique. Solid option if you want something different and high quality.
Our group tried three different things at this place, and yet I'm still excited to go back and try even more. Well done!“

“I DIDNT TAKE A PHOTO OF THE PHO BECAUSE WE WERE IN SHOCK AND ATE IT SO FAST. Guys the quality difference is real. The spring roll ratio was amazing. Small menu, everything done right, this broth wasn’t full of the msg, salty, overly fake umami beef broth flavor - The moment u walk in you can literally smell all the toasted spices! And the broth guys. We took one sip and could not stop drinking the broth. It is the best in NYC we’ve had.“

“You know a restaurant is going to be good when they only serve one thing on the menu. This is a small mom-and-pop shop, so IYKYK!
Their specialty is beef & cabbage soup with rice, served with a side of omelette and kimchi radish (banchan). It’s simple, but packed with bold flavors. I went with the spicy option, which was still pretty mild, but incredibly flavorful and comforting.
The beef was super tender, and the soup also came with glass noodles, which was a nice touch. Nothing fancy, just really good, comforting food done right.
Definitely recommend!“
“I love it so much, my friend brought me over one time and the waiter really nice. My mother brought here many time, and it always fill me up. My aunty brought here today, and it tastes good as ever. Highly recommend. Love there noddle!!!!🤗“
“Great service, and even an espresso while I was waiting , great bunch of guys, I went their to pick up Sandwiches for the East Brunswick PBA, thank you for stepping up and donating proceeds($5.00) from a sandwich called “The NYPD” to Detective Diller’s wife and son.“
“We got the signature claypot set with all three meats and salted egg yolk, along with the Chinese sausage and chicken claypot. Both were really tasty, especially with all the different toppings mixed into the rice.
Also tried the HK milk tea with salted cheese custard which was so good! I’m definitely coming back to try the others.
Would definitely come back when I’m craving claypot rice in Flushing.“

“The owner was very nice and welcoming! Compared to other chicken places, there was barely any wait time, which was a huge plus. The chicken was fresh, crispy, and cooked perfectly. The portions were also just the right size—not too much or too little. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back!“

“Hands down, these were the best rice noodles I’ve ever had! They had that perfect texture—incredibly soft yet delightfully chewy. We ordered the beef rice noodles, and they were fantastic.
We also tried the preserved egg with salted pork congee, though that one could have used a bit more flavor.
A few things to note:
Space: It’s a very small, takeout-only spot (no dine-in).
Wait Time: We waited about 15 minutes for our food, likely due to a high volume of online orders coming in.
Highly recommend grabbing the rice noodles to-go!“

“I’ve been coming here on and off for many years — this place has probably been around at least 20 years. It’s one of those old neighborhood sushi spots a lot of locals know about.
This is Korean-style sushi, which is a little different from traditional Japanese sushi. One thing that makes it unique is they give you Korean spicy sauce to dip the sushi in, which actually adds a nice kick and a different flavor.
Also just a heads up, this place is take-out only, so you’re basically grabbing your food and going.
The portions are still pretty generous, so if you’re just trying to eat a lot and get full, this place does the job.
That said, prices have gone up recently and the sashimi slices seem to be getting smaller compared to years ago.
If you're looking for real high-end sushi, this probably isn’t the place. But if you want a lot of sushi for the money and a quick takeout meal, it still works.“

“The boiled fish dumplings here are MAGNIFICENT! It is refreshing to have dumpling fillings other than pork. I enjoyed them so much, and their portion was generous. I ate them with 2 other friends while on a food crawl.
I like that you can order your food through a machine and pay with a card here. It gave me more time to learn their menu and make my selection. The staff took good care of my order. I will be back again.“

“Loved the Jigeul Box! 😍
It came with a little bit of everything, so it was perfect for trying several different dishes at once. Everything was served HOT and tasted so fresh, like it had just been made!
The salad was light, refreshing, and delicious.
The fried items were warm and super crispy, and the spicy pork bulgogi was perfectly seasoned! Not too sweet or too spicy, just right. The fried dumplings were also amazing! They weren’t just regular dumpling, tasted like galbi mandu, which made them extra flavorful
Such a satisfying meal with so much variety. Would definitely order this again!! 🔥“

“I’m pretty sure I discovered this spot long before Anthony Bourdain did! 😏 It was featured in Parts Unknown Season 9, Episode 4 (Queens), where he dined here with chefs Josh Smookler and Cosme Aguilar. Geo Si Gi is highly known for their signature gamjatang (spicy pork bone soup).
Ordered the Gamjatang & Grilled Mackerel Set – $52.95 (for 2)
The gamjatang is perfectly spiced – bold and warming without overwhelming heat (and trust me, my spice tolerance is low!). Instead of the usual red kimchi, they load it with long strips of green napa cabbage, cut right before your eyes before serving. Some bean sprouts, watercress on top, with tender potatoes, chewy rice cakes, and massive pork bones that fall right off – so meaty and flavorful. Served with a side of sweet mustard sauce. Pure comfort on a cold day.
The grilled mackerel was enormous and incredibly plump – way bigger than expected! As an oily fish, it’s rich and satisfying, but we barely made it through a third. If you’re a mackerel fan like me, it’s a must-order.
.
Banchan were simple and homey: nothing flashy, just solid classics. Bonus: it comes with fluffy steamed egg (jjim) that rounds out the meal perfectly. I can eat an entire bowl of rice with just the steamed egg 😊
.
This set was massive for two – we left with about 1/4 of the soup and 2/3 of the fish! Pro tip: Save some broth and ask them to make fried rice with it at the end. Game-changer.
.
Highly recommend for hearty, soul-warming Korean food in Flushing!“

“Authentic Flavors and Warm Hospitality!
I had an incredible experience at Plateia GR! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that immediately set the tone for the evening.
The food was absolutely delicious — everything tasted fresh and authentically Greek. The grilled octopus was tender and perfectly seasoned, the meatballs were so moist and so good, and the gyro was delicious and full of flavor. The tzatziki and warm pita were the best I’ve ever had, and the galaktobouriko at the end of the meal was the perfect sweet finish.
What really stood out was the staff’s genuine hospitality — they took the time to explain the dishes and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed.
If you’re looking for a place that serves real Greek cuisine with heart and care, this is it. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Hands down the best Mexican food I’ve ever had.
The carnitas quesadilla is amazing, and super delicious. The cheese compliments the carnitas along with the onions, and top it off with the spicy rojo hot sauce and it’s honestly mind blowing.
Their juices and smoothies are blended in house and they’re all so good. I’m still making my way down the list of drinks, but they have all been amazing.
I love this place. The staff are so friendly and super sweet. They’re the best and everyone should pop by for at least a drink when they’re in the area!“
“Great experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and everything came out looking and tasting great. The staff was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and we would happily return.“

“This Cantonese restaurant stands out as one of the most refined and satisfying dining experiences I’ve had recently. The ingredients are exceptionally fresh, and every dish is executed with precision and restraint. Flavors are beautifully layered—delicate yet expressive—honoring the essence of traditional Cantonese cuisine while incorporating a subtle, contemporary elegance.
The signature dishes are particularly memorable: clean, well-balanced, and remarkably light on the palate, leaving a lasting impression without any heaviness.
Service is polished and intuitive from start to finish. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and every detail feels thoughtfully managed. The ambiance is equally impressive—clean, sophisticated, and understatedly luxurious, making it ideal for business entertaining, special occasions, or an elevated evening out.
Overall, this is a restaurant I would confidently return to and highly recommend. A true five-star experience in every sense.“

“BagelTime, omg what a fantastic place. The food is incredible.
I was there yesterday (July 13) and ordered several of their delicious sandwiches, a Cubano to die for, and my beet and goat cheese salad!
You are the best deli artisan sandwich establishment I have ever been to. I’ve had some sandwiches, but your sandwiches, all the combos, and salad are amazing.
Oh yeah, and your extra-large muffins and everything—oh my God, this is fantastic. Your place is tremendous.
Don’t take it from me go there and check out there delicious delicious delicious sandwiches you order anything from there you’re coming back for more.

“One of the best Kbbq if not the best kbbq restaurant I’ve ever been to. The eel was so fresh, the short rib was marinated to perfection. But the best thing on the table was the kimchi. The kimchi was crunchy, it was seasoned perfectly, and it was fermented just enough to pair perfectly with the proteins. The hospitality was amazing! The lady treated our party like her relatives and showed us what’s real hospitality is. My friends and I love how kind she was to us and we could not ask for a better meal. We will definitely come back more often!!“
