“Not sure what all of the bad reviews are about, because when I went here it was not bad at all. I got the udon, and it wasn't the best, but it was definitely very good for a typical Asian fast food place. The food was ready in about 6 minutes, so great service. Atmosphere wasn't the best because it was in an airport.“
“I saw this place on instagram and added it to my bucket list. My husband and I traveled from Atlanta just to try The Monkey King. The atmosphere is comfortable and laid back. Our waiter was accommodating and made us feel like we were seating in VIP. We met the owner Mike. He was professional and was grateful for us traveling to Brooklyn New York to try his restaurant. The taste from each dish blew us away from the concocted herbs and spices. We will definitely return.“
“The dishes at Thirty-Seven Lane are very rich and varied, and the vegetables are very fresh. The beef is recommended to be hand-cut beef. It tastes great. The crabs are still alive and delicious. The waiter Xiaokai is great. My friends and I are very happy to have the meal. Thank you San Lane 17“
“One of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. Easily my favorite restaurant on Long Island. I am a chef and the guy at the table next to me was as well and we were both blown away. My kids (4 years old) loved everything, my mother (pescatarian) couldnt have loved her food more. The drinks were on point and the flavors were beyond compare. Their char sui bao were hands-down the best I have ever had.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian dim sum and a ton of dishes too. Absolutely fantastic vegetarian offerings!Kid-friendliness: My 4 year olds loved the place! The servers were great with them!“
“I'm no expert on Korean food but I do know delicious and this place definitely hit the mark. Upon walking into the place I knew it was going to be a good experience. The staff were super friendly and also helpful with food selection which I needed. The restaurant has a light and airy feel to it with a nice layout with an ability to accommodate smaller groups. The bar seating is a great choice if you're on your own or with a friend. The make all types of cocktails and have a nice selection of beers including some Korean options. The food menu offers some classic Korean dishes from what I learned. I went with the Spicy Squid Bibimbap for my main. Before that came out they brought me a free appetizer which hit the spot. I'm not certain what it all was but I didn't leave much behind. Apparently this is one of three locations. I really hope to be back again in the future. Enjoy!!“
“Great lil Izakaya!The staff are extremely friendly and hospitalable, the food is delicious, the portion sizes are very generous, and a combination can be made if asked in advance.Definitely get the cheese corn and put some sweet soy sauce on it... And ask for the sweet and spicy sauce on the side, it makes any dish 50 times better lol.There's two other locations in New York, apparently one is in Manhattan, I'm not a local so I can't remember where the other location is... Either way I'm coming back to the Flushing location as I just really love the atmosphere, the location, and the staff...If you see the owner, tell them that the Black nerdy girl from Mississauga recommended the place and said to say hi ?“
“The best I have eaten in a long time, since I got Covid I started to have new allergies and had to stop eating sushi. I took a risk and gave them my trust. Incredible, super attentive, good communication, the sushi was fresh. They took all my specifications into account and were very careful about cross contaminationThank you very much I will definitely order again“
“Excellent decor, you can miss it from it's non descript exterior but once you walk through the door it opens up into a large space with fully stocked bar and a pleasing aesthetic. The beef tripe in chilli sauce is excellent and my favorite off the menu. They also give generous portions of both food and wine for a great price that doesn't break the bank.“
“It was my first time dining here with friends and the meal did not disappoint! The seafood pajeon was so crispy and the seafood/flour ratio was perfect. The braised spicy chicken was flavorful and filling. The service here was also friendly and attentive too! Our server checked on us frequently and the owner was sweet and generous, making sure we enjoyed our stay. I can’t wait to come back here!“
“The squirrel fish is really delicious, you must order it when you come here! ! ! It's so delicious. It's cooked just right, the aroma is overflowing, and the taste is mellow. You can't help but take one bite after another. It's tender and juicy, melts in your mouth, crispy and delicious, and has endless aftertaste.“
“Calling all spicy food lovers - head to Spicy Nepal ASAP. Continuing our Nepalese food tour in Sunnyside, we finally tried Spicy Nepal and it did not disappoint, especially in the heat department. We ordered the Bhatamas Saandeko (fried soy beans - wow!), Vegetable Pakora, Chili Chicken Momo, and the Fish Thali. All were perfectly spicy and had lots of flavor. We definitely put that Mango Lassi to good use b/c there were a lot of sniffles. The location (39-35 47th Ave) is tucked away, so I'm bummed that they're almost always empty when I pass by. Hoping more people will give them a shot b/c I certainly will! The prices are also pretty reasonable.“
“Came here on a whim after having a hard time deciding on a place to eat. Best decision ever as everything we ordered was delicious. The service here is great too, they train the staff here well. This spot is now a must visit whenever im in nyc. Go to orders are the Peking duck with the salt and pepper duck bones, preserved ham fried rice and szechuan string beans. Those three dishes are ? ? ?.“
“What a blast! The food, the atmosphere, the service and wow the drinks! We were killing time to head back home and met up with family that were already there. The fried shrimp dumplings was so good! And the wings!? Wow! The drinks by far were the highlight of the night. Were definitely going back with some time to chill.“
“Me and my friend recently dined here and I was pleasantly surprised. We started with the Happy Hour menu and ordered a few appetizers and drinks. The food was nicely seasoned and tasty. We then stayed for our dinner reservation and the food was delicious. We're definitely going back. I highly recommend.“
“My first exposure to Burmese food. I was really excited to try and learn about it. I enjoyed the suggestion from the staff. I'm also vegetarian. I was leaning towards one option, but he highly suggested someone else (the photo I posted and pointing to) and I went with his option.Glad I did. Twas amazing. Something I learned about the cuisine, is that food necessarily won't be piping hot. It's intentional.“
“Stopped in for a quick takeout order on a weeknight, the staff were very attentive and provided great service.Food:- Kai burger: SO good!! Highly recommend. Really good flavor and ratio of meat and cheese and toppings. Best part of the meal.- onion rings: these were okay, but I think it was due to the delay in getting home and eating them. The sauce was good and and breading indicated they’d be good fresh. Could benefit from having more in the order.- soup dumplings: very tasty, still warm when I got home with them. Had a lot of meat packed in.Had a little mishap with the shrimp dumplings, but the staff was proactive and made the situation right. Food was out quick. Give this place a try if you’ve got a hankering for some comfort food.“
“My Family and I are frequent visitors at Moca, we just love it there, from the food to the service to the atmosphere everything about this is place is a good vibe . If you decide to visit please ask for Pseong, he’s the best waiter there, he’s super nice and extremely friendly, my daughter, boyfriend and I really like when waits on us.“
“This restaurant is fantastic! The food, the drinks and the vibes are so fun. Shoutout to Juan for hooking us up at the bar. He made custom cocktails for my friend and I based on our preferences and they were genuinely the best cocktails we’ve ever had. Thank you and can’t wait to frequent this spot ?“
“Woooowwwwww…….!!!!!!!Such an amazing place and wonderful staff … and talking about the food which reminds me of the home food and it’s didn’t disappoint at all .. I loved the food so much that we almost ended up ordering so much of food and got full but overall great place and I can say I found a place I can trust around my place to be at.Thank you so much.“
“Fantastic hidden gem of a thai restaurant!Extremely well-lit, clean, and orderly appearing the moment you walk in. This probably isn't the ideal setting if you're looking for a "restaurant style experience", but there are several small tables you can sit down to eat at. It seems the majority of the business is take-out.I have ordered several times in recent weeks. And the food was delicious! I tend to order the spring rolls, as an appetizer, and my favorite dish, Kee Mao with Chicken (this is often known as "Drunken Noodles") as my main course. I have also tried the Pad Thai, and a few other items on the menu.Absolutely tasty, hits the spot, reasonable pricing, and super-quick.One other thing.. and this is the most important; outstanding, incredibly pleasant customer service. I was greeted warmly upon entering, and was thanked very sincerely as I received my order....with a smile. This means alot to me, and helps me decide where to spend my money. They deserve it here.If you're used to ordering Chinese Take-out all the time, and want a real change of pace, make the switch! Give Thai Tai a try!“

“Today was my birthday and my wife asked me where I wanted to dine out with our two kids. I mentioned a few options, and asked for her thoughts. She mentioned having gong to Yummy Yummy with some of her girl friends recently. I agreed and we headed out there.We arrive about 6:45pm and most Bell Blvd, 48th Ave or adjacent streets surrounding the restaurant are paid metered parking till 7pm Mon thru Sat, and Free Sundays. On the side roads if you walk further you'll notice where the paid metered parking ends there is free public parking. My wife called ahead and made reservations for my birthday for 7pm. In conversation they reserved us half a Hainanese Chicken. That was a good idea because the place was packed at 85% full when we arrived. This evening was cold and a col breeze would rush in when the front door was opened.This restaurant has its own style. It's clean, well lit, ceiling fans in the front half with wood planks hanging vertically evenly space like steps getting lower toward the front of the restaurant. The planks are burnt with texture and they seemed to absorb sound making the restaurant atmosphere less noisy with so many patrons talking - it was comfortable and you could hold a conversation. The tables and chairs were sturdy, clean, and did not rock or creak.The wait staff were courteous and attentive. If you speak Cantonese you'll enjoy your dining experience because my wife conversed with our waitress asking about dishes before we ordered.We ordered the following dishes and am listing them in the order they were served.Roti Pancake - we ordered two which was served with a small bowl of curry chicken with chucks of potato.Cumin Pork Knuckles - served in a plastic basket they were crispy and mouthwatering savory.Fried Beef Chow Fun - my son immediately mentioned the dish had Wok Hei, the beef and noodle was savory.Steak with Back Truffle and Mushrooms - The beef was tender , with thick slices of mushroom and potato, and the truffle infused sauce was delicious.Hainanese Chicken - there was a slight wait on this dish. The check was tender and moist, it was served on a bed of thin sliced cucumber. A sauce tray with four sauces accompanied the chicken adding to the flavor of this dish.* I'd recommend any of the dishes we ordered, but my top favorites were the Chow Fun and Steak.Normally I'd have provide pictures of all our dishes, but the food did not disappoint so I was only able to ask at the last moment my daughter to snap a quick picture of the Hainenese Chicken which I'm still waiting on her to forward to me for this review.Payment - We were told they didn't take Discover, and listed MasterCard or Visa, and cash is king.I gave Yummy Yummy 5 Stars based on the food, service, and atmosphere. There are more and more quality Asian restaurants beyond Manhattan/Chinatown, , Brooklyn/Chinatown, and Flushing/Chinatown. I'd rate it $$, but I'd keep in mind that prices have been rising. *One unofficial litmus test I'd point out is that if an Asian restaurant is patronized by a high number of Asian regularly there is a high chance the food is good.“
“Loved the food! Everything was fresh, hot and delicious! It was a bit dark inside which made it harder to see but all in all the hostess/staff was very attentive even with our big group on a Sunday afternoon! I would definitely be coming back again!“
“The food here was amazing! If you like spice and unique taste then this is it!We had the lamb skewers, samsa, beef stir fry, pearl noodles and more. The lamb skewers were better than the ones you would get at a street cart in downtown Flushing. Definitely coming back!“
“Perfect cute spot for a date night. The sushi rolls are really unique — loved the one with Brussels sprouts on top. The servers are all super helpful with answering questions and giving recommendations. They were also accommodating of my food allergy which I always appreciate. Highly recommend!“
“I don’t go to Brooklyn very much but my daughter and I lucked out when we found this place. The food was terrific and the prices were as well. The staff was welcoming and attentive. It has a great vibe. I might find my way to Bushwick more often just to go back. Highly recommended.“
“It's Saturday and decided to bring my wife for a quick date night. The place looks cozy and the food selection looks pretty unique. I had the Wagyu burger while she had the Beef rib with bone marrow. Both food came out good and we will definitely come back.“
“Really enjoyed dining there!This place is a phenomenal Asian restaurant! Nice variety of options and veg options too. The service was super friendly , attentive and thoughtful.Loved the food and experience overall. Definitely worth a visit!“
“This cafe is a gem! I’ve been there multiple times and it has always been a five star experience, never disappointing.The coffee is always tasty and hot. The food is really good and has a large variety. The service is quick and friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful; quiet and comfortable.All the above is hard to accomplish for such a small place but Bon Cafe does it right.“
“Chachawan is an amazing Thai food restaurant you’ll absolutely love! Nancy is so helpful and when I am not sure of what I want to eat, she assisted me in choosing the right meal that never fails! Highly recommend the pineapple chicken. Great customer service from Nancy! You will be very delighted to have her serve you. Highly recommended Chachawan! You’ll never regret it! Amazing Thai food. Thanks Nancy for all your help!“
“This is a cozy Thai restaurant with lovely decor I decided to check out. The food here is very authentic and also very high quality. We tried several items - chicken satay, curry puffs, tom yum soup, duck wrap, and the basil chicken. Everything tasted very fresh and flavorful, with the curry puffs standing out as probably the best selection. The staff was also very friendly and constantly checked up on us. In my opinion, this place and Arunee are the best Thai places in Jackson Heights.“
“Been going to this restaurant for over 30 years! Love everything about this place even the outdated decor and bathroom.Kid-friendliness: Kids do not bother them and they are really cool about bringing extra plates for sharing. I’ve never had an issue.“
“Stopped at Mira Sushi on the way to JFK. Atmosphere was great, very welcoming the second you enter, no wait. Menu is extensive, lots of delicious options for food and drink at reasonable prices. Food was absolutely delicious, everything was fresh and tasty. Service was great too. There was never a time where we were waiting to be helped. Employees are very friendly. 10/10 would recommend.“
“The service is great, the food is delicious and the presentation is even better! I ordered their lunch chicken teriyaki Benton box . A plate like this would cost $35 plus dollars in Manhattan but in Jamaica NY it was less than $20.The picture doesn’t include the Thai tea I ordered and the salad that comes with the bento box.The place is clean and the food presentation is exceptional.“
“Pros: Hostess and waiters were helpful and very attentive! Good and fresh sushi. I also had the rock shrimp appetizer which was really good. The drinks made without sake are good.Cons: The hot chicken wings was not much effort. It’s just fried large wings with Tabasco sauce on the side—if you want wings avoid $12 here and get the Chinese restaurants honey wings instead from any Chinese spot in the area.The drinks made with sake are not well balanced.“
“I ordered take out for dinner we had their Pho Bo and house pork chops. I highly recommend the pork chops they were so filling and flavorful. They come with your choice of rice and a salad (w/ dressing on it). The Pho Bo on the other hand wasn’t as tasty, I felt as if the broth needs more depth and it didn’t come with the expected veggies just condiments which didn’t really add much to the broth. I would come back for the pork chops though!!“
“We returned and the food was just as fresh, delicious and well presented. The highlight of our experience is the service. I wish I knew her name, the front end worker this restaurant is kind, attentive and provides excellent customer service.“
“This is a hidden gem in East Rockaway! The food is delicious. We ordered Kung Po Chicken and Gyoza. The chicken came with rice, wonton soup (so good!) and crackers. The gyoza was awesome. We’d definitely come back and use this place as our go-to restaurant for Asian food in the area.“
“I ordered Musubi. It didn’t look like on a picture, but tasted pretty good. Prices inside cheaper then ordering to go (maybe it’s like this everywhere, but that’s what I noticed). I was waiting for a while for my order even though place was not busy. I would come back to try poke bowl if I would be in the area, but wouldn’t drive there just for the food.“
“A typical no-frill, cash only asian establishment in Elmhurst. Just to be clear: this is TAIWANESE restaurant incase their name was clear enough. I’ve been coming to this joint since forever and oh god i miss the old times when i used to live close by and prices were lower. Their dishes have always been excellent and portions are generous. Again, cash-only!“
“Delicious food. The place looks like a real Japanese restaurant. I ordered a dinner bento and it was so much food and had a delicious miso soup and my boyfriend ordered a dinner meal and it was delicious as well. The service was good, the girl was very attentive and quick. I will eat from here again ?“
“Fresh, delicious food at very reasonable price, paired with great, friendly service --- what else can one ask for? Perhaps a variety of Asian food including quality sushi, poke bowls and ramen dishes? Yep - they have you covered in a clean dining room. Even the fish in the aquarium at the entrance are well-behaved and wish you a "bon apetit" when you enter! [Just kidding, but only about that last part]. Happy that we found this place, and will be back!“

“Solid spot. They stay open very late. My group ordered a bunch of stuff and shared it. Nachos were great (bulgogi is the star), tteokbokki was spicy and delicious. Service was good, our waitress was helpful and accommodating. I'll be back again soon.“
“This is by far one of my favorite places to eat in Astoria. Everything is always fresh, the service is amazing, and they are knowledgeable about allergies. My boyfriend has a severe celiac/gluten allergy and this is the only sushi place that we trust to not give him a reaction. If you’re looking for good quality sushi, this is it!!Dietary restrictions: My boyfriend has celiac disease and is severely allergic to gluten. We let the waiters know and they communicated with the chefs to ensure there was no cross-contamination and let us know what was gluten-free/could be made gluten-free.“
“A perfect spot for a birthday celebration. My small group & I enjoyed our dinner while we were in town - The upscale atmosphere made me feel like I was back home in Miami. Food was delicious, DJ + dancers were great entertainment, and the skyline views were nice.They sure know how to celebrate an occasion and make everyone feel special from sparklers to shots!“
“Food was good, drinks were NOT it. However service could have been better. Our sever was pretty rude and made an error with my husbands order then had the audacity to role her eyes once we corrected her. We weren’t rude at all about it. It’s totally ok things happen. But don’t roll your eyes. You work in the service / restaurant industry. Then to top it off they automatically charge 18% tip to your bill. Again totally fine, but I think that’s why we were given poor service as they know they will make their money regardless.This place leaves much to be desired.“
“They season this food crazy good. Got roasted duck, wonton soup, peking duck, sweet and sour chicken. I don’t even care for regular chinese take out, and dislike how oily and salty it can be sometimes— But they do it right. I have had some tragic vegetarian chinese dining experiences in Chinatown that take advantage of the prime location. Overpriced and flavorless. This is exactly the opposite. I have had meat eater friends enjoy the dishes just fine. Kudos to CoCo Lin.“
“The owner of iDiner moved about four stores away to Irma off of Main Street, and I'd have to say ambiance wise it's truly an upgrade. They have a beautiful dining patio outside and a humble interior. The bathroom is easy to get to and spacious. Everything is at grade level which is even better for handicapped people. I had a party of six and we sat outside. There was a good mix of shade and sun for those who didn't mind being a little cold or hot. The restaurant was able to accommodate us on Easter Sunday an hour earlier than they originally do open, so we would be guaranteed a place to eat. (Every other option was fully booked a week in advance!) The food was really good. We had a mix of beer and boba shakes for those of us who are sober. The kimchi pancakes were perfect and no shellfish to be frightful of in regards to allergies. We tried their popcorn chicken and one was a little sweet and spicy and the other was plain. We shared edamame. And everyone was happy with their dishes whether it be the vegetarian japchae, beef bulgogi, dolsot bibimbap with an egg, house salad, soup, chicken katsu, etc! Only one star removed because the veggies were still more raw than cooked in the dolsot bibimbap. I know we were a large group, but cooking it a little extra would have been preferred. Happy eats!“
“Found this place months ago on Uber eats while they were stationed in Brooklyn and haven’t been able to order since and I think about this place all the time. Now I think they’ve moved it seems. The wings were so good made me forget about my favorite Korean wings in the city. These taste just as good, I’m trying to be nice - they’re better and less at a perfectly fair price point. Would definitely order again if I ever see them available on Uber again. Also let me add the fries are the perfect crunch that I enjoy. Food came steaming hot so I knew they was throwing down in the kitchen!! To say the food is worth it is an understatement. I don’t know what’s happening with this business but I wish them all the success they’re deserving of. I really enjoyed my meal from here. Thank you ????????“
“As a New Yorker when someone suggests going out for Chinese you would normally assume, and rightfully so, that you'll end up ordering from a "hole in wall" fast food spot.Kai isn't that. It's a sit down place where you just enjoy your food in a peaceful atmosphere.The pricing was ok, but it was NYC so it was to be expected. The food however is worth the cost. Consider it something like take-out plus, Chinese food with a twist.And it is not just "Chinese" food, under the category of "Asian fusion" their menus are a little bit from the many color cultures of the East. Come for sushi, get some hot sake alongside it, with some wings and soup.It was a great place, relaxing, the music was tame and not in your face, and the staff seemed to have grown on us as time went by.Bring your family, or friends, or maybe just by yourself and have yourself some of that classic food we New York's associate as Asian.“
“Amazing food. Large portions.Friendly staff.Don't let the plain decor fool you.This is a hidden gem.Their biryani is amazing.Got some kick to it. Honestly doesn't need anything with it.We had beef curry on the side. Extremely flavorful. Tender meat.“
