Soup near Jamaica

“If your looking for good eats and a place to have an ultimate experience with customer service this is it the best/cheapest oxtail in NYC I myself my wife and my father in law love it here and we will continue to come truly a staple in the community“

“Great West Indian food here. There is no place to eat inside, so you must take it to go. I really like the chicken Lo Mein. It has a quarter chicken cut up over the lo main. It is very flavorful and is a lot of food for what you get. I also tried their pinetarts, and they are great too. When in the area, I will be back.“

“We returned to the garden after moving away and asked if they could sell us a dozen of their veggie rolls (sooo good). They did with a smile. Brought them home and stocked them in our freezer for that occasional fix for good NYC chinese takeout rolls. They were a favorite of ours when we lived in Queens. Their food is tops and the lady behind the counter always had a ni,e smile. Go get some!! You won't be disappointed.“

“Perfect soup dumplings, other dishes tasty as well, great service! Highly recommend.“

“Delicious food.Best service.Thank you.“

“We love Uyghur food especially Lamb Polo. The polo here is the best I had in NYC. We also ordered the lamb soup which is good but a bit too salty, however the lamb is very tender and tasty. The lamb kawaps were very good, juicy and tasty, but the lamp chop was tough and tasteless which I don’t understand. Shouldn’t they be marinated the same way? We also ordered thin-skin steamed mantas, the onion and meat one is very good, but the squash meat one was lack of flavor. Next time I’ll stick with the onion meat ones. Overall, the food is very good, worth a trip.“

“I'll try to keep this to the point —

I gave Food/Service/Atmosphere 5 🌟 because they were on par for me. For a local spot, this really took me by surprise.

What I ordered:

Miso Soup:
Standard Miso Soup, nothing groundbreaking, but very tasty. Would have loved a tad more tofu & scallion, but that's just me.

Salmon Avocado Hand roll:
Not the hand roll I expected meaning it wasn't in the cone shape I'm familiar with, but it came presented like a taco with the seaweed as the shell. Salmon cuts were huge, and with great colour, avocado was bright & ripe, coupled with the perfect amount of rice. Everything tasted clean, and fresh.

Yellowtail Jalapeno Nigiri:
I messed up with this, originally I wanted a sushi roll, but my brain flubbed. Great mistake though, because the yellowtail was delicious, practically melted in my mouth, topped with a delicate cut of jalapeno on top.

Love Milk Tea:
Honestly, just a really delicious milk tea topped with osmanthus flower. It was light, refreshing, and not too sweet thankfully.

Wagyu Tataki:
Tataki is meant to be briefly seared on the outside, but the center remains raw. Was this seared to the degree I wanted? No. But, was it delicious? Yes. And the meat was incredibly tender, flavour of the sauces really complimented everything on the plate.

I finished off with a matcha cheesecake to go, I'm sure it'll be good.

With tip, I spent $67

Again, for a local spot in Richmond Hill/Kew Gardens, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Personally, with slight adjustments, these folks would do great in midtown. I spent a little under what I would spend at a restaurant in the city, and got an incredibly satisfying meal, and left full.“

“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.“

“Chef Papa is an authentic Vietnamese spot and I loved the food here. The beef pho had a rich, flavorful broth, the fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the spring rolls were fresh and delicious. The beef sandwich was amazing and definitely a highlight. Everything tasted authentic and well made. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Vietnamese food!“

“Good Ramen 🍜 and environment“

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

“Authentic Taiwanese cuisine! Love their shaven ice.“

“My first time trying coconut hot pot and I’ve clearly been missing out! The coconut broth was light and sweet, and way easier on the stomach than a regular hot pot.

We visited on one of the coldest days, and the restaurant was PACKED. It’s located in Downtown Flushing, literally right next to Tangram. It’s also more affordable than other coconut hot pot spots in the city, with a heartier portion too.

Shoutout to the impeccable service — our server even helped skim off the floating oil from the broth (and made me want to buy that ladle lol).

＊Coconut Chicken (for two) 皇椰雞套餐 $75.95
They use cage-free chicken, and the pieces were generously sized with not too much bone. This portion was already enough to feed four. The set also comes with vegetables, plus your choice of rice or noodles. The coconut broth wasn’t heavy at all that we were basically sipping it nonstop.

＊Poached Egg & Beef Clay Pot Rice 窩蛋牛肉煲仔飯 +$15
You get a discounted price if you add their claypot rice to your hot pot order. It looked very promising and delicious, especially with the runny poached egg. But I thought the rice needed a few more minutes in the clay pot to crisp up the base a bit more.

＊Maxi’s Noodle Wonton 雲吞妹雲吞 $9.95
The price is pretty steep for just three wontons, but I love Maxi’s so much that I still went for it. The shrimp wontons were so plump and meaty.

＊Handmade Battered Shrimp 極品鮮蝦滑 $12.95
SOOOO GOOD I am a fan of shrimp paste in a hot pot.“

“Had a great time, great food and good beers 🍺“

“New York bone broth is the absolute best. They are so kind they deliver. Their bone broth are amazing. Their homemade pasta is amazing and they are just totally old-school and we’re so lucky to have them in the area. We can’t get enough of it.“

“Delicious food, great service, friendly atmosphere, free parking…“

“That food is delicious inexpensive and filling… staff is amazing and place is clean“

“I’ve known Queen since they first opened at HoY - the falafel and everything else is still reliably great and delicious.

I also love how calm this place is; it’s cute without being pretentious and this one of the very places I can sit and catch up with friends without having to scream at each other.

Pls don’t change!“

“Great customer service: patient, respectful, intelligent feedback to inquiries, admirable communication skills, and the staff help make the store feel welcoming, like family. This store is essential to the community as it inspires life-affirming qualities via their items and overall energies. The MANN Drink is "just right." Detoxx Bar needs more support to stay in the neighborhood.“

“My girlfriend and I came back twice in 2 days The food was delicious and the 2 people working the front were amazing, they deserve a raise and anyone who disagrees honestly wouldn’t know good service if it bopped them on their bald spot. 10/10 great success“

“Kid-friendliness: Mucha variedad🤩“

“i feel sooo happy just walking in to that place, with the warmest and most professional atmosphere, and then i get completely happy after getting my food and juices...😋😋😋 recommend 1000000% out of 100“

“Iykyk this place has the best seafood pancake ever even better than Korea trustttt. This is also the only place I like sujebi from bc it’s actually got a bite and is nice and chewy. Their portions are also huge I can never finish. I’ve come here many times and will keep coming back“

“I have to say this place is now one of my absolute favorites. It’s been a week and I’m still obsessed with the food. I’m heading back as soon as I finish this because it was that incredible.
We found it by accident—the amazing smell pulled us in while heading to a nearby café. We both got brisket pho: my husband with extra noodles and meat, me with lemongrass spicy broth and extra meat. The flavors were perfect, tender brisket, just the right kick. We were too busy savoring to talk at first.
Our server was so sweet and offered us free sodas on the house when she heard it was our first time. The vibe was cozy and relaxed.
The french fries looked amazing next door—next time we’re sharing them for sure.
If you love Vietnamese food, go! Everything was spot on. Can’t wait to be back 😊“

“This was the place I had my first açaí bowl, and I loved it. I am addicted now and come here pretty often. The fruit is fresh in every season, and the staff here are very lovely. For the people that have never been to this place or haven’t even tried an açaí bowl and want to, I definitely recommend coming here. 😊“

“Great food, and I love the fact that they don’t expect you to tip, but the service can be a bit slow and it can get very crowded where you feel like your sitting on top of the person next to you. That being said earlier in the day it’s usually pretty empty“

“Visited from Orlando,Florida and was in the mood for some Guyanese homemade food for brunch. We ate here and they had a wide variety of food options from doubles, cook up, bake and salt fish and various curries paired with The best tasting roti I have had in a long time. We ended it all off with some very tasty Pastries that are homemade in store. The owner Serita is very hospitable and made sure we had everything and that we were well taken care of! If you are ever in the Queens/Long Island area I highly encourage you to stop in for a hearty meal“

“Some of the most amazing vegan food I’ve ever tasted!!!! Wow…Do your body and your taste buds a favor and go support this restaurant. I had the quinoa with samplings of the vegan ginger, citrus, and the tofu chikn bites….every was a 10/10. The chikn bites were so tasty and full of flavor without the tofu taste. Glad I found this spot!“

“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“

“Roti Canai delicious! The Nasai Lemak was awesome with tender and flavorful curry chicken. Tried crispy fish cakes first time and it was yummy!“

“Went on a cold and windy night. ambiance was lovely and food was delicious. a nice and romantic spot for the hubby and me.“

“KAL Korean Food in Astoria is a great spot if you’re looking for solid Korean food at a really good value. They have a lunch special before 4 p.m. that’s only $15, which is honestly hard to beat for the amount of food you get. The portion sizes are very large, so you definitely won’t leave hungry.

We tried the tofu appetizer and it was surprisingly crunchy on the outside and very flavorful easily a standout. Everything came out fresh and satisfying. Overall, this is a spot I’d highly recommend, especially for lunch if you’re in the area.“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“Very traditional hole in the wall restaurant service only one thing so you know they've perfected it because the whole business is hanging on that dish, beef rice soup. It is served with some side dishes, an omelette to make it more filling and the kkakdugi kimchi to refresh your mouth. It's an experience.“

“The best pizzeria! Whether you order from the counter or the kitchen, you will always enjoy your meal. The staff is amazing and friendly especially Vinny!“

“Wonderful little spot; love they are family owned and operated.“

“Awesome food is a great location.“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“Watched and waited for Rosa’s on Port Blvd to open - finally got to try them out. Did not disappoint. Pizza was perfect, they offer many varieties of individual slices and pies, including gluten free and cauliflower option. Salad and pastas spot on too. Can’t wait to dine in next time.“

“La mejor pizza Mexican pizza deliciosa Que no se encuentra en otro lugar“

“Casual, amateurish service does nothing to detract from the delicious food. The dishes are deep, complex and sincere. Plating varies from beautiful to mundane. One constant is the wonderful flavors of the food. Will go again and again and watch them sharpen up the lesser skills while delighting in excellent food at very low prices!“

“Great!good burgers! Nice outdoor seating“

“Delicious and generously served dishes in an ambiance atmosphere. It was my first time dining at this restaurant with a friend, who is a regular. I enjoyed very much.

Even though I don’t have any roots related to Uzbekistan, felt nostalgic for some reason and cozy about everything from dishes served to interior and decor of this restaurant.“

“10 Star Food !!! Great service °°°“

“Such a rare find. If you go on a Friday or a Saturday you’ll be treated to a live performance by a spectacular singer. The atmosphere feels like you’ve been teleported to Europe with authentic Italian cuisines. You’ll be greeted by the owner himself. He and the servers make you feel like family serving you food on par with that of a michelin star restaurant. Truly an amazing spot.“

“Delicious salads, you name it you get it😋“

“First time back in 13 years and the quality and service is as great as ever.“

“Amazing noodle soup. I got the green pepper big bowl with fish. Did not expect the bowl to be so huge. Intense numbing spice that you acclimate to throughout the meals I ate the whole thing and got free extra noodles. I was late to meet my friends after due to the itis but it was worth it“

“Muy buena Atención y la Comida Deli“
