50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Great Neck Plaza

“My friend and I - both longtime lovers of Asian cuisine - were originally headed to another spot for lunch, but it was closed for a break until 5 PM. Hungry Monster was nearby, so we decided to give it a try - and we’re so glad we did!
Though the restaurant is small, it’s incredibly cozy and comfortable, with a mix of four-person tables and bar-style seating with stools. When we arrived, there were only a couple of teenagers sipping smoothies, so we practically had the place to ourselves. That meant we got the full attention of our wonderful waiter, Biscuit, who was very attentive and made us feel well cared for from start to finish.
We both ordered their signature dish package - I chose the soup-based seafood package, and my friend ordered the beef version. Each dish came served in a small cauldron, full of different ingredients and rich flavor. The portions were generous, so I ended up taking half of mine home. As a nice touch, they packed my leftovers in a high-quality branded bag with the restaurant’s name, which I really appreciated.
We ended our meal with drinks - mine was a refreshing grapefruit and lemon green tea, and my friend had a Mango Tea Yakult, which was fruity, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
The ambiance added to the experience. The decor combines traditional Asian elements with anime-style art, even on the bathroom door! It was fun, vibrant, and gave the place a unique personality. Pleasant background music played throughout the meal - it was noticeable enough to enhance the atmosphere but soft enough not to interfere with conversation.
Some practical notes:
• They offer delivery, and you can get a 10% discount on takeout if you pay in cash.
• They’re open every day.
• The only downside is parking - limited spots in front of the restaurant and no obvious public parking nearby. You can risk parking in the nearby plaza, but there are tow warnings posted. Thankfully, we didn’t have any trouble.
All in all, we had a wonderful lunch at Hungry Monster. The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and the whole experience felt welcoming and personal. We’ve been to many Asian restaurants before, and this one stood out in the best way.
If you enjoy Asian cuisine, we highly recommend Hungry Monster. We’ll definitely be coming back! 5/5 stars“

“Was driving back from New Jersey a couple weeks ago and there had been some accidents and a ton of traffic so we decided to take a unplanned detour and stopped in Great Neck. Happily we found a Great Mediterranean Seafood Restaurant/Bar AND saved on drive time! 😜 The server greeted us with a basket of Warm Grilled Pita & Humus, on the house. Pictured we have the Grilled Anchovy & Chilled Roasted Beet Salad with Scallion & Raddish, Tuna Tar Tar with Guacamole, Seaweed Salad & Raddish Apps The Fish 🐟🐡🐙🦀🦞🦐🦑🐚 was Super Fresh & Plentiful and Plenty to choose from! I even saw the Host presenting a table 2 Whole Fish to inspect, compare and choose from 👌👌👏👏 FRESH! An Incredibly lite white airy Chilean #Seabass and Broccoli with garlic, olive oil, sundried tomatoes and chickpeas, was, for me, perhaps the star of the whole show. Grilled Olive Oil #GROUPER with Roman Green Beans 👌 Lastly a Kid's Steak Tidbits order with Fried & Broccoli.. Pearl was Impressed! Skirt Steak.. whole basket was only like $12 $7 #margaritas 👍👍#fullbar #liny #longislandfoodie #freshfish #mangiawithmaggi #Greekfood #mediterraneandiet #lowsalt #nosalt #healthyfood #goodeats #tellthemmaggisentyou“

“Dagim is fabulous! The menu is vast and has options to suit everyone, and the service is exceptional. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely for either parties or cozy family dinners. Suitable for people of all ages, I’d recommend Dagim to anyone looking for great food and good company. The cuisine, service, and treatment from the owners never disappoints!“

“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.“

“My Husband & I Love This Spot So Much. We Come As Often As We Can Which Is A Lot. The Staff Are Very Friendly And Never Had A Bad Experience. I Will Continue To Come, Sit, Eat & Drink.“

“Great customer service n food was delish“

“The portions for the appetizers were so igwe couldn’t even order entrees. The food is well seasoned and delicious. The service was attentive. The ambiance is PARTY. You just keep moving as you done. I definitely will be back…“

“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!“

“I picked up food here for the first time and Auntie was so incredibly welcoming. She was happy to let me sample a handful of the dishes they were serving, all of which were delicious.

The oxtail here is just phenomenal. The depth of flavor of the gravy was such a standout. My rice and peas were covered in it and I wish I had more!

The jerk chicken was incredibly tender and the sweet and spicy sauces were a great compliment.

The fresh pine ginger drink is a must have and the homemade coco bread was pillowy soft.

The chef is an absolute pro here when it comes to salinity. The seasoning was spot on for every entree without any lingering saltiness.“

“The best around service is grestaff is friendly. Food is out of this world. Highly recommended“

“We came here on time for the lunch menu (served until 3), but we were given the dinner menu instead. A few of the items that are on both menus are more expensive on the dinner menu, so it gave us the impression they just wanted us to spend more. After asking for the lunch menu they discouraged it then brushed it off, so we used the more expensive menu rather than make a scene. The Caeser salad with chicken was ok, just a little overdressed. The octopus on the specials menu was tender and tasted good. The shrimp scampi over linguini ($8 more on the dinner menu than the lunch menu) was well-prepared. The NY strip au poivre was more medium than the medium rare we asked for, and the steak was under seasoned. We’ve had better experiences here in the past. It was very off-putting that they did not bring us the lunch menu when we asked for it.“

“My wife and I were recently at your restaurant our server who told us he was new to his position (2weeks) gave us amazing cartious and attentive service like an experienced professional unfortunately I didn't get the young man's name..our visit was on Friday 2/25 at about 3:30 in the afternoon . I just wanted to give him his due compliments“

“Food is very fresh and excellent. Our server, Sandy was very friendly and attentive to our needs“

“I went to a family friend’s 70th birthday party they hosted in the Atlantic ballroom. The space was modern and very clean. The food was DELICIOUS!!! And the workers, Yiselle, Estrellita, and Shorty (blonde) made the event so memorable! They paid attention to every detail, whether it was filling our water cups, collecting unused plates and of course they did it all with a warm smile. They were kind, funny and very welcoming. I had a wonderful time! Thank you Yiselle, Estrellita and shorty!!!“

“I've been visiting Johnny's for over 30+years. Today I went for a lobster roll which replaced the shrimp roll. last year this lobster was so delicious 😋 couldn't wait till the summer. unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. it is not longer on a garlic bun and now served on a plain hot dog bun :( also flavorless! last yr price was $24 and now up to $28 with no flavor and blah bun. please bring back the recipe from years before. thanks“

“It was my mom’s birthday and Briana was our server. She was so sweet and kind to us. She took her time to explain her favorites off the menu and helped us order as it was our first time there. When you go please ask for Briana!! We are definitely coming back, especially for her.“

“We very recently had my mother's 80th birthday party here at Two25 with 40 attendees. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. First of all, it has a modern, calming and upscale vibe. The restaurant and restrooms are immaculate. Crisp table settings. Cool jazz lightly cascading through the sound system. Just great overall ambiance. From the moment I walked in to inquire about having a party, I met Caitlin, who deftly and expertly handled every single issue, before, during and after, with ease and grace. She made sure that our experience was perfect. A true professional and a credit to the establishment. From the moment that our party started, the staff was incredibly attentive and intuitive. The appetizers of arancini, wontons, and artichokes were absolutely delish. The salads course was perfect. And the main dinner courses were expertly crafted. I personally had the short ribs which were melt in your mouth deliciousness. My wife's salmon was cooked to perfection. And although I did not taste the chicken Milanese, everyone who had it reported it to be excellent. The dessert of gelato and cappuccino was the perfect complement to the amazing meal. And if I didn't stress this point enough, Caitlin and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate every whim. As an amazing example of that, before the day of the event, I mentioned to Caitlin, quite off-handedly, that although their beer selections were top shelf, they didn't have my go-to beer. Would you believe that the manager, Andrea, went out and personally made sure my favorite beer would be on hand for our event. Now that is what I call service!!!!
All of our guests were thoroughly impressed and everyone, invariably, had nothing but positive reviews for the event.
Two25 has skyrocketed up to our family's favorite restaurant.
Thanks again Caitlin and Andrea for an unforgettable night!!“

“Fabulosa atención increíble la comida deliciosa unas langostas frescas y bien preparadas etc etc muy bueno!!“

“The food was delicious and the service was excellent. When the waiter heard that it was my birthday today, he gave me a cute and practical gift. I felt very happy. Thanks.“

“been going here my whole life. the best there is!“

“Oxtails, j*** wings, Rasta pasta es muy bueno. Cabbage, collards, rice and peas are great compliments to the mains..Prices are extremely reasonable and staff makes everyone feel welcome“

“The service is great. Everyone is very nice and the food was delicious. Will be returning again. Thank you so much.“

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

“I like that this place is hidden among the neighborhood but what really stood out to me was how caring the owner was to each of his customers. You can tell he gets along with the regulars here and profit was not his only main concern. Service like this is what elevates an establishment and gets customers to come back.“

“Food 💯 on point everthing bussin“

“The food is like nothing I’ve ever had before. The best restaurant in Flushing. I had a wonderful time with my friends. :)“

“Es un lindo lugar para compartir con la familia, los empleados son muy atentos y amable, la comida muy buena y llega a la mesa aún caliente 🔥, lo recomiendo 💯.“

“Great food and drinks! I love going there with my boyfriend for a romantic time or with my kids for a fun family time.“

“This place became my place to go definitely!!! I had ‘Galchi jorim’ yesterday. It was BEST in NY!!!! I don’t enjoy korean food here NJ and NY bcz too sweet!!! But this place was perfect. Maybe it’s not fancy place if you are looking for but food was authentic!! The owner was very friendly!!“

“I've dined here at least 20 times and have always had a great experience. Our server Deneen was outstanding. So sweet and professional and took great care of us during our dinner. She should be commended. Two of us got the chicken breast dinner and the other two got the pork chop. Everything was delicious as usual. Our wine was great as were the little desserts they always serve. Seasons 52 has become a favorite which is why we always come back!“

“I do love to eat oysters in there. Great service & best food.“

“The service and food is amazing 🤩 it’s a must go and a great experience!!“

“I loved this place so much. Food fantastic. Excellent vibe and the music great.“

“UN EXCELENTE SERVICIO 👏🏻👏🏻 MUY EFICIENTES!!!“

“Great food!! beautiful place“

“The food is good. Service is a bit slow…Then I see most of the servers in their private waiting area talking.“

“I had dinner in the restaurant with a friend.
We thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Hunan cuisine. We requested our dishes to be prepared at a mild spice level, and we were very satisfied with how the kitchen accommodated our request.
I also want to highlight the excellent service we received. Our waiter, Kavin, was attentive and friendly, and his menu suggestions were spot on.“

“I attended a surprise party this Saturday evening. The cuisine was preselected, waiter service was excellent, should receive raises. The table arrangement was very poor. The party was downstairs in one of the private rooms. We were 25 people at one very long table, basically the length of the room, which made it difficult for guests to get around the seated persons at the head of the table on either side. Having two tables would have been a better arrangement, but one long table was not conducive for conversation since we were so far from the other end of the table. The food; not many complaints, I really didn’t have a problem. I didn’t have a lot of food, but it was delicious. The dessert, sorry not very good. Those Famous Crepes(palacinkes) sorry not that great. A lot of crepe and not a lot of filling. The dish was served with fruit, unfortunately this fruit was not in season, so the watermelon although it added color to the dish, upon tasting it, left much to be desired. Why not serve fruit that is in season? No offense to my party hosts who selected my menu for the evening, it didn’t lend itself to the 5 Star Reputation of Dubrovnik’s. I would like to make reservations and splurge on a dinner on my own, I have a feeling I would LOVE the experience! Btw, another plus was the parking!“

“Prices were reasonable! Food was served quick and was delicious! Valet parking. Staff was pleasant.“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“The food is super fresh here! Got the geoduck, lobster, spotted snails, and oysters. They clean and cook the food to whatever method you want. The waiters and waitresses are also super caring and makes me feel seen as a customer as they swap out plates, add tea, and portion soups for everyone at the table. Good value, great taste, and solid service. Would come here again.“

“Excellent place went here with a couple of my girls for happy hour after work great food great music & the bartender Aliyah was just soo sweet that rum punch had us acting young again lol. We will most definitely be going back ??“

“Got my lobster roll before they close for the season. No problem about The hot sun the afternoon was extremely blustery. I’ve always loved this place even though it is pricey for a clam shack.“

“We were pleasantly surprised by the food. We asked our waiter if they had fried clams and he looked at us like we were crazy. He said he had no clue what we were talking about. We just chuckled and said it doesn’t matter. When we got our meal to share, we were shocked to see it being delivered in an anchor hocking glass baking dish 😂 The food was really good though 🙃“

“I had the octopus, greek salad, zucchini chips and steak for Dinner. Everything from start to finish was tasty and of excellent quality. 5 stars all the way! I will be returning.“

“we ordered 2 orders of fried catfish, 1 with sweet potatoe fries and 1 with Mac&cheese, and also a side of collards. everything was made FRESH. crispy and delicious fish & fries, super cheesey Mac and the collards we're great! not the first or the last time I will order from here. reasonably priced for fish around here.“

“The service was great 😊 We had to send the calamari back but it came back excellent so I have no complaints 🤔🥂The ultimate feast was great 👍 I was happy I took my son out to eat it was worth the trip 🙌“

“Another hot pot place to try that has seasonal crawfish that is so fresh, you won’t regret ordering it. Crawfish are giant with fresh garlic flavoring. The soup base is out of this world and is a must try if you are in flushing. We got the tomato and pork bone and I’m telling you, some soup makes your mouth dry because of the high msg content but this one doesn’t. Everything was fresh and the staff were top notch. I know there a lot of hot pot in flushing and there are so many good ones out there but none can say they serve fresh crawfish and 12% off high school ID for students as a promotion. I will be honest, if it wasn’t for the crawfish and the discount, it would be harder to separate as there are many good hotpot spot but for now, this would be my go to spot until the promo is over.“

“Honestly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. The food was incredible, especially the steak, but what really made the night stand out was the service. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere was also super comfortable and made it easy to just relax and enjoy dinner. You can tell that Lenny and his staff really care about the experience they give their customers. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to.“

“I came here for fresh seafood and ended up purchasing several prepared food items, since those are easy and looked well made. I tried both seafood and vegetable dishes. All were fresh and tasted delicious. I care about fresh seafood. Prices are not cheap, but with seafood, quality really matters. There also appears to be a sushi restaurant onsite, which I'll have to try next time I'm in town. Roslyn is fortunate to have several local gourmet markets and this counts.“
