“As always very good dinner 🥰“

“food was delicious. price right. Mom was so sweet.. feels like your mom was making food for u while u wait.“

“I came here to leave a review thinking there will high rated reviews but surprised to see the ratings but BEST CHINESE TAKE OUT in Fresh Meadows. Hands down. Never had any problems or customer service yet. Lady up front is nice, no fuss. I order and pay and go. Simple as that.“

“This little gem is so New York, and I had the best time here last Saturday night. It’s a tiny space run by a lovely husband-and-wife team that makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. The set menu was outstanding, with so many great flavor combinations, many of them inspired by traditional Nepali dishes. They also offer a thoughtfully chosen wine pairing that complemented the food really well. Service was excellent throughout, and I especially enjoyed hearing the stories behind each dish and the inspiration that went into creating them. Overall, just an outstanding dinner and a place I can’t wait to return to.“

“Czen is one of my favorite restaurants. The food, service and atmosphere is always great and the staff makes you feel welcome at every visit. The rum punch is a must have drink, and you can’t go wrong with any of the food options.“

“delicious food. great music.“

“Large menu selection of veg, non-veg, desi and Indian-Chinese cuisine along with great food quality and professional service are the key factors of success with Aanch. It provides a great family dining experience. All items are curated to ones taste and palette. Would highly recommend for a relaxed evening dining with family and friends“

“I go here often for lunch. Plenty of variety, and fairly quick service. I always get the ribs from Tejas + kids mac n cheese. Everything else was good too, but the Thai food here is lacking (they used italian pasta for the pad see eew (not rice noodles) and pasta was very al dente both times i tried here). Havent seen if they improved for that restaurant yet but I always come back for Tejas!“

“This place is beautiful awesome playlist. I went on a Sunday and there was plenty of parking but I am sure it would be more difficult on a weekday until after 6pm when street parking becomes available. The burger and fries very solid, the el mensajero drink was excellent, I had some toast with ricotta, honey and almonds that was really good as well. It wasnt very crowded but the space is awesome I would like to go back on one of their event days. Overall good experience will come back for sure.“

“Great food,great atmosphere As same industry we are take them as role models“

“this was my first time eating at Nangma and I enjoyed my experience. The workers were very attentive and handled our food with care. The crispy mala fish was one of my favorite dish there. I would definitely be returning to this restaurant.“

“Great food. Very diverse menu. We were shocked that even the french fries and edamame were prepared so flavorfully! Sake was incredible and worth buying the bottle. Presentation of my entree was super fancy. Service was 5 stars. Super attentive and friendly. What a great place to get lunch!“

“After watching a reel on Instagram, I decided to visit this place. The highlight of my experience was the auntie who always greets customers with a smile, showing kindness and taking great care of them. Their top dish is the Momo. I tried the chicken steamed Momo and chicken Chow Mein. The Momo was delicious, but while I enjoyed the Chow Mein, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The place has a great vibe.“

“Not just the best restaurant at Terminal B, but generally delicious Lo Mein with lots of fresh veggies and the chicken is a great topper!
Service is super friendly and attentive.
It my new regular when I fly out of Terminal B. Also has great views of Flushing Bay and the Main Fountain!“

“The food here is out of this world. Everything is so fresh, tasty, colorful, and delicious. The two sisters who run the place are very kind and again, love the food. Outside of Thailand, this is the best Thai food I've ever had in NYC!“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“The food is amazing, and the staff is always friendly and on point. I highly recommend this place to everyone if you are in the NYC area. It is in Forest Hills, Queens, NY right next to the Forest Hills train station. ----“

“First time dining at Monkey King and from the minute I stepped in to the restaurant to the minute I left, I LOVED everything!! Manasi, Ian, Thieanna, Kat, Lance, Raj, and Alexa really contributed to making my experience amazing. Thieanna recommended a drink and even changed it up a bit to my liking and it was SO GOOD (I’m picky about alcohol) Kat also had great suggestions for food and I LOVED every single one of them. Everyone’s energy and the ambiance was so lovely. The place is beautiful and they definitely deserve that auto grat+ more.

The mushrooms are a MUST! The cucumbers were refreshing, the shrimp toast was so good with that sauce it comes with!“

“the ginger salad was delicious. I also order calamari tempura .. sushi and sashimi was so fresh and delicious. will go again ..“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Truth Restaurant! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service made the visit even better. Aamaris was absolutely amazing—she was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful from the moment we arrived. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us throughout our meal, and made us feel truly valued as guests. Her positive attitude and outstanding customer service made our dining experience memorable. Thank you, Aamaris, for going above and beyond! I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend asking for her if you visit.“

“The food is too good. Try any dish it is good. We love the Tomka soup it is too good. The green curry the yellow curry is too good. The staff and the owner are very polite.“

“What a great find!!! Place was cool inside, food was yummy, we liked it a lot. Staff were friendly and nice. We will definitely go back.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Among my fave spots around. The atmosphere is electric and they play every game! Enjoy their all-day happy hour, when you can receive five shots for $25 to $40 (depending on your poison of choice). The food is more typical of a pub, but it's great for a quick bite and priced friendly! Highly recommended their bulgogi quesadilla. Couldn’t gate-keep any longer!!“

“Loved coming here. Food is tasty and feels like home being in here. Customer service is amazing.“

“As a longtime vegan and someone who absolutely loves Thai food, I can honestly say this is one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to—not just in East Harlem, but anywhere in New York City.

Every dish I’ve had here has been outstanding. The vegetables are always incredibly fresh, the flavors are vibrant and authentic, and it’s clear that a lot of care goes into every plate that leaves the kitchen. Finding a restaurant that consistently delivers this level of quality is rare, and Chu Ros Thai does it every single time.

The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which makes the entire experience even better. You never feel rushed, and they always make you feel like they’re happy you’re there.

And if you’re vegan, do yourself a favor and order the Thai iced tea made with coconut milk. It’s one of my favorite drinks in the entire city and the perfect complement to an already amazing meal.

I’ve eaten Thai food all over New York, and Chu Ros Thai has earned a permanent spot at the top of my list. I come here whenever I can, and whenever someone asks me where they should eat in East Harlem, this is the first place I recommend.

A true neighborhood gem.“

“The food and service were both excellent. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The samosas were delicious, the sauces were great, and the coconut chicken with coconut naan was especially amazing. Really glad I stopped in and supported this place.“

“Definitely my go-to spot for the special sauerkraut soup. The spice level is just right—not too mild, not overpowering—and the broth is rich and flavorful. The setting is very casual, which makes it easy to just drop in and enjoy a comforting meal. They even have a little robot helping with the service, which is a fun and cute touch.“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious and generous portions, and quality service“

“I was here for lunch midweek and it seems like the place is ran by whoever has a moment to step out of the kitchen. Didn’t mind as it adds to the atmosphere.
The food was amazing and I can’t wait to come back with friends to try more dishes. Very happy I stopped by.“

“Everything was delicious. I had shrimp toast and a dinner combo: sesame chicken with fried rice, an egg roll, and soup. They made my sesame chicken spicy for me which I appreciated. The portions were generous and the waiter was attentive to all my requests. I would come again.“

“Looking for the vibe that feels like a Hug from the moment you walk in? Think of them as the Asian Cheers🥂 Being in NYC for a decade Ive seen my share of bars good bad and ugly and I cannot rave enough about Rice K . No matter the day, the family energy is so friendly , festive and fun! From classes to emerse yourself into the community or karaoke to sing with fast friends I am in love and so grateful theyre a part of the best city on earth.“

“great atmosphere and service. The food was amazing!“

“Healthier foods in Harlem.“

“The food was great and when they accidentally forgot one of our Shumai dumplings, they replaced it with 2, which I thought was really nice. The service is quick and efficient, and I appreciated them checking with us. They were nice about any questions we asked and the atmosphere was really nice and cozy. Definitely recommend.“

“I travelled 40 miles deep into Flushing Queens for the best Korean Fried Chicken! Comes with Spicy or Soy Garlic, Juicy Drumsticks or wings and with some tangy sour pickled radish or sweet creamy kimchi cole slaw. You are missing out if you have not tried this!!! You want some?! Usually I would get this when I worked the Financial District or Midtown Manhattan but this was the closest to home and they did not let me down!! Like most Korean Fried Chicken Places in Flushing or K-Town Manhattan... you can see Asian families/ laughing and eating wings with a whole pile of delicious wings dumped in the middle of the table! They on to something here! Lol #foodie #foodporn #koreanfood #friedchicken“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious and generous portions, and quality service“

“Pickleball got cancelled thanks to the rain, so we pivoted to Koo Thai and have no regrets.

After an indecisive debate between Thai, Mediterranean, and Indian food, Thai was the winner. The basil fried rice and Panang curry were comforting and the colors were beautiful. The restaurant is a sweet little space and a rainy-night win.“

“Cool place for celebrating anything with friends and family“

“My son had a graduation party today, and I decide to order here and try the package B which is only $63 and come with 12 sushi roll, sushi is fresh, everybody enjoyed it. Definitely will come for dine in next time. The restaurant look very pretty inside.“

“The best word to describe this place is fusion. It combines Tibetan, Indian, Bhutanese, and Chinese flavors into delicious meals. The food has a great balance of all the best part of these cuisines.Try their Tibetan style cuisines like the Momo, the pork ribs, and the thin cut seasoned fries. Then try their Bhutanese ema datsi. Combine everything to create a unique sino-indo-Tibetan cuisine.10/10 would recommend.“

“We arrived at the opening time and they weren’t quite ready but when they finally let us in they made sure to accommodate for the wait ! Friendly vibes and the SHRIMP WAS SOOOO GOOD ! def will be back to experience the night time vibes ! 10/10 for sure ! Ask for tiny she was super cool and made sure we were taken care of“

“The food is great. I have been eating at this spot for a couple of years. I stopped going when we got hit with the pandemic; now, I’m back.“

“This was full stop the kindest service and best spicy butter chicken I've ever had. They also gave us this sauce flight and crispy cracker situation before the meal that was so increadible (not pictured, we devoured, phone could not eat first. Oops). I will dream of this food and it will haunt me until I can return. Super fast service (food in under 15 min) and a clean restroom. Period.“

“There’s something incredibly comforting and nourishing about a good coconut chicken hotpot, and Coco Hotpot 皇椰鸡 delivers that experience beautifully. We ordered the Coconut Chicken Set for 2, which came with a half portion of fresh cage-free chicken, your choice of noodles or rice of your choice, and a vegetable platter filled with corn, winter melon, napa cabbage, lettuce, and enoki mushrooms all slowly cooked in fresh coconut water. The portion was honestly perfect for me and my boyfriend satisfying, balanced, and filling without feeling overly heavy. If you want more, they also offer plenty of add-ons to customize your hotpot further.

What makes this style of hotpot so unique is its history and philosophy. Coconut chicken hotpot originates from Hainan cuisine, where food is known for emphasizing freshness, clean flavors, and natural ingredients rather than relying heavily on oil or intense spice. Unlike traditional hotpots that focus on rich broths or chili oils, Hainan-style coconut chicken soup highlights the sweetness of fresh coconut water paired with high-quality chicken. Coconut water naturally contains subtle sweetness and minerals, which creates a lighter and healthier broth that still feels deeply flavorful and comforting.

The experience itself felt very thoughtful and authentic. The server prepares everything tableside for you, which made the meal feel even more special. They first pour the fresh coconut water into the pot and bring it to a gentle boil before adding the chicken. As the chicken cooks, they carefully skim away the scum from the top to keep the broth crystal clear and clean tasting a traditional cooking technique that helps preserve the purity and delicate flavor of the soup.

The chicken turned out incredibly tender, juicy, and naturally flavorful from simmering in the coconut broth. You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Once we added the vegetables, the soup became even better. The corn released extra sweetness into the broth, the napa cabbage softened and added depth, winter melon gave the soup a refreshing and cooling quality, while the enoki mushrooms brought a subtle earthy umami flavor. By the end, the broth develops into this naturally sweet, savory, and aromatic soup that tastes so comforting yet surprisingly light and healthy.

We chose udon noodles instead of rice, and it was absolutely the right choice. The thick chewy noodles soaked up all that flavorful coconut chicken broth beautifully. Every bite felt warm, silky, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.

They also have a sauce bar available if you want to customize your dipping sauces, though it does come at an additional charge. Personally, the broth itself was already so flavorful that it barely even needed sauce, but it’s a nice option if you enjoy mixing garlic, scallions, soy sauce, chili, or sesame-based dips with your hotpot.

This meal leaves you feeling nourished rather than overly full. Refreshing, healthy, authentic, and genuinely delicious. I also love that their menu offers many other traditional soups and coconut-based hotpots to explore, which makes me excited to come back and try more next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting if you enjoy clean flavors, comforting soups, and high-quality ingredients.“

“The food was absolutely delicious.. I’ve been there multiple times- I always order Regular Lollipops, Gravy Lollipops , Lemonade, Manchow Soup .
It’s all stunning. Wait time is on average -5-7mins for food to come out.
The only thing I don’t like is- It’s feel very hot there- they don’t turn on the ac until u ask them.“
