“Highly recommended!! We had a wonderful experience here! Such an excellent dining experience—beautifully cooked dishes made with fresh, flavorful ingredients. The space is charming yet refined, ideal for an intimate date night or an elegant family gathering. Service was warm, polished, and attentive throughout. !”
“I came here on Friday, the bartenders offered top notch customer service (wish i had gotten their names). No need to go to overrated jazz clubs, this place has it all in one cozy spot plus classic, fun and enjoyable high quality Jazz that I am always looking for; i found it that night listening to Benjamin on Sax & Cristobal on Bass, Sacha Perry on the Piano and Sean on Drums. Hope to hear them play there again soon!”
“My first time here and the girl working there was good with helping me choose a kimchi, although I was disappointed that sampling wasn’t an option, especially for the price that they’re charging. Very happy with my choice of radish kimchi, but it’s pretty expensive and not a place I could go to regularly.”
“$28 AYCE KBBQ! Fantastic. Excellent quality food. Great price ! Friendly staff that sear your food at the table. Best of all, they have excellent ventilation vent (exhaust pipes) right on top of the grill! See pics. So you don’t smell like barbecue after your meal! A big big plus !

“An excellent sushi spot with consistently great food. What stands out most about Ooi is the freshness—everything tastes clean, delicate, and top quality. If you’re ever around Long Island City, this is the go-to place for sushi.”
“Everything was super delicious! 5 star for the food! We tried the mapo tofu, Lao Gan Ma chicken, fried prawn with crispy chili, and the la zi ji. We absolutely loved everything, so flavorful and satisfying. Super recommended! We will definitely be back to try the Peking duck next time!”

“We went for Thanksgiving, not expecting much. Understanding they would be busy at 7pm, we decided to take our chances and walk in. Super friendly service. We got a welcome eggnog, brilliantly cooked 3 course price fix menu, great service. There were some hiccups (soup came out crazy fast, while the drinks took the normal time. A little odd) loved that they had a kobe steak as arn option, very moist turkey too. Pumpkin creme bruleee was tasty-not too "pumpkiny". They even have us a free champagne with dessert. Really worth it”
“Dutch Kills absolutely exceeded expectations. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, stylish, and effortlessly welcoming. The attention to detail in both the ambiance and service really stands out.
The drinks are nothing short of exceptional—each cocktail is crafted with precision and creativity, balancing flavors in a way that feels both unique and refined. You can tell the bartenders truly know their craft and take pride in what they serve.
Service is top-notch: friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without ever feeling overbearing. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or just looking for a great night out, this place delivers on every level.
Overall, Dutch Kills is a must-visit spot. An easy 5 stars for its outstanding drinks, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommended!”

“We've been to more DnD/BR locations than I could ever count and this is easily one of our favorites. Even though it's part of a busy Food Bazaar food court, they always keep it clean and they're always super friendly (especially to our kids). There are 2 small tables inside, 4 small ones outside in the food court, and about 10 shared picnic style tables (that seat 4-8 people each). The free underground parking on a hot day is a huge bonus!”
“The sweetest, most caring employees. Always make sure nobody feels rushed while also making sure everyone’s orders get out in a timely manner. Food is authentic - great lunch deals for when you’re in a rush but want a complete meal. It’s open 24hrs hence at times it’s a little slower bc there is less staff but overall, always a pleasure doing business with them ?✨??”
“This is five starts from me for having me the Carbonara with the chunky chicken tonight. Nice, sweet and delicious green peas and lots of melted buttery cheese inside the hot container. A very lightly minty flavor was coming from the black paper that has met my energy as soon as I start eating that high. Great Cook and I apologize for anything. Bye”
“Favorite place to go when I’m leaving pure gym across the street a 24 hour spots after a few hours of kicking ass I go across the street grab some food they have a nice variety of food and everything that they have there is available 24 hours, including hot food juice made in house hit the spot before my long journey home also 24 hours”

“this place is the best, the food, the atmosphere, the drink!!!”
“Unbelievably good Italian food! Only thing I’m upset about is the fact I’ve wanted to eat here for 3 years and never actually went inside to eat! This place is a hidden gem. This is real quality Italian food, cooked and served by the same family since the 70s. The hosts, waiters and staff truly care about your dining experience and it really shows. Everything and I mean everything we ate was top notch. I got the carbonara my wife got the chicken parmigiana. I loved mine! Huge portions, quality ingredients. You can just taste everything in your food. The calamari was delicious, nice big calamari with a light breading and the marinara sauce is a real homemade sauce. You will not regret eating here I promise you that! They have a huge wine list and are very knowledgeable and willing to help you make a selection. I love the old school ambiance and the fireplaces are a beautiful touch! Prices are very reasonable! Actually kinda cheap compared to many other restaurants down here. I can’t wait to go back!”

“Bake Culture really surprised me in the best way. The garlic hotdog with pesto was the standout—savory, aromatic, and way better than I expected. I also tried the classic custard bun and it was excellent: soft, creamy, and not overly sweet.
The vibe here is super chill and easy, the kind of place where you can relax without feeling rushed. Everything is very reasonably priced too, which makes it even better. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!”
“Our recent private family birthday bash at Manducatis Rustica was wonderful! I can not thank Gianna enough for her time in planning the menu and offering to prepare anything my family likes. The food was delicious and abundant , the staff was attentive and kind, the tables were set beautifully. It was like being in my own home -warm and friendly without me doing all the work . I will be returning for dinner often! Bravo to Gianna and all her staff at Manducatis Rustica !”
“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️”
“We are visiting from Miami and stumbled upon this hidden gem. We ordered blueberry pancakes , 2 egg platers and a breakfast sandwich and everything was a 10/10. I got myself a mushroom coffee which was interesting , very good as well. The place is small and homey. The staff was very kind and welcoming. They have a variety of options on the menu & they even have vegan protein powder to make shakes. The hash browns and eggs were delicious and were not greasy at all. Fast service . If you are looking for some good breakfast or quick sandwich / wrap / smoothies check them out .”
“My husband and I have eaten here twice: both times we’ve enjoyed delicious pizza, pasta, wine, coffee, and desserts. The staff are attentive and kind without hovering. Most recently, a couple and their young son were having dinner too. Beebe’s is a great choice for so many different people and families.”
“My husband and I had the most unforgettable experience at Cannelle Patisserie on Sunday, February 1. We brought in the gender results for our future baby, and from the moment we walked in, the staff treated our little secret with so much warmth, excitement, and genuine joy.
They were thrilled to be part of our surprise and went completely above and beyond—creating the yummiest box of pastries in the color of our baby’s gender for us to open later at home. They even included the sweetest handwritten note and, to our absolute delight, a precious little pink cake. (It was a girl! 💕)
The kindness, enthusiasm, and care they showed us turned a simple bakery visit into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. We will truly never forget how special they made us feel, or how magical and delicious our gender reveal was because of them.
Thank you to the amazing team at Cannelle Patisserie for being such a joyful part of our story—we’ll be back forever and recommending you to everyone we know!”
“We had the best pre cruise visit since we were staying nearby at a hotel. Both bartenders were excellent and the regular customers! Made us “southerners” feel comfy and offered up ideas and suggestions of navigating the concrete jungle! If we ever return to NY, we will definitely be back. Awesome food! Awesome service! Excellent drinks. Made our trip!!”
“The mapo tofu here is always great, but I got lukewarm, hardened brown rice with it. The food came out within 3 minutes of ordering, so I wondered id they just gave me someone else’s cancelled order…”
“Highly recommended!! We had a wonderful experience here! Such an excellent dining experience—beautifully cooked dishes made with fresh, flavorful ingredients.

“I’ve been coming here for 4+ years and it’s absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough. One of the best cocktails in the city by far. I always go for Ego Trippin but I’ve tasted the others and they all have their thing and it works, names are also very fun.”
“Such a cozy and welcoming café. The coffee beans are high quality and you can really taste the difference — smooth, rich, and well made. The space is warm and comfortable, perfect for catching up with friends or spending a relaxed afternoon. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. ☕️”
“😀I have known Manetta's Ristorante since 1990's and have been going there. Food is always excellent and the prices are good. The staff and servers are pleasant. Lisa is always friendly and accommodating --- greeted me and my hubby with a pleasant smile and also checked up to make sure that everything was fine during the course of our meal. Server, Jasmine waited on us a couple of times --- one of it was today, 2/9/2024. We were happy with her service and everything else. Our overall experience with Manetta's Ristorante is excellent. I highly recommend.”
“Birch on 7th Ave and 14th street is my fave spot to get my afternoon skinny flat white during our class break at Pratt. The crew there is always great and I love the tip jar questions. Hang in there dear Birch! Looking forward to seeing you all again when we’re through this.”
“I stumbled onto this place yesterday. I just recently started working around the corner. I entered the coffee shop and I was instantly greeted by such a sweet lady. I ordered the Nutella monster but explained to her that I don’t want it too and she made it absolutely delicious. Tasty and not too sweet at all so I didn’t feel too guilty for bending my diet haha! I also bought an avocado toast with a side of bacon….ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! This morning, I went back….yup, I sure did. Today, I tried the hot Nutella latte (again, less sweet) and was perfect for me! I’m loving this place!! Thanks Sip A Cup!! :)”

“This is the best sushi place in LIC. when you walk in the workers and chefs are welcoming, attentive and super friendly. The miso soup tastes fresh and coconut curry was great! The salmon lovers sushi and sashimi was delicious ad so were the specialty rolls! will eat again!!”
“One of the best Cheesesteaks in the city, though Danny & Coop's sesame rolls are giving their old school ones a run for their money. A tiny indoor area with some counter space for dining, with outdoor area when it's warmer. Combo includes a drink, the sandwich is large enough for two meals.”
“got four slices of cake to share with friends (the pistachio basque, black sesame soy milk, taro soy milk, and matcha yuzu) and was met with rave reviews! the pistachio and taro soy milk cakes were especially loved, but even the black sesame and matcha cakes stood out for their sophistication of flavor. highly rec!”
“Loveee this place. I always get the chipotle avocado wrap and the mango tango juice and it never disappoints. Fresh, quick, and just hits every time. The recent renovations look great too. The place it’s really clean and updated, and it makes the whole experience even better.”
“Omg I just have one thing to say. I’m pregnant and came here for the first time today. I got a chocolate chip cookie thinking oh nice sweet treat. The cookie was so good I’ve had 4 total today. This is the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve had in my entire life and I can’t wait to stop by this weekend to pick up a ton to keep at home! Never had anything this good, thank you for making the best cookie ever!!!”
“I attended an event that had rented this space. It is very clean, well lit, everything with the space seemed to be working well. It is in a complex that faces a parking lot. My only suggestion would be better signage as to where the entrance is at. (Hint: look for the blue door)”

“Excellent hotpot! The coconut chicken broth is light, fragrant, and delicious. The portions are generous and the ingredients are fresh. Service was great too and attentive. Will definitely be back!”
“My son who is a picky eater slurped the broth and ate the karaage. The ramen had a good chew to it too :)”

“The Guokui was very crispy. Mala xiang guo had a good variety of choices for the ingredients. The dining area was clean. Very nice experience. Will definitely go again.”
“Came for takeout of papaya salad the first time at this Thai restaurant greeted very quickly ordered and within 10 minutes. The order was prepared paid for and sent on my way. The atmosphere is set for dinner time. There were a few people for lunch sitting down already, which was nice to see it. It’s on a corner. You’re very easy to find parking is a little difficult but manageable so much so that I’m coming back for dinner to sit down will let you know later in part two, but I am very pleased. They take credit cards and cash”
“Better than we thought it was going to be. The Al pastor tacos were a little dry but the crispy fish and birria tacos were great! We’ll def come back to try others!”
“It’s my favorite restaurant of all time. The service is amazing, every time I’m there I’m threaded like a queen and the atmosphere is so relaxing. Always my go to place”

“This location is pretty standard. Portion was normal but prices slightly high. Servers were low-key and the restaurant was clean.
Basically order what you like to go with the hotpot. Nothing went wrong!”

“My boyfriend and I have visited this great bar a few times now, and I must say, it’s a fantastic place. It’s usually quite crowded, but don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long for a table. We’re usually seated right away.
One thing I love about this bar is that we always have the same server. I can’t recall his name, but he’s incredibly efficient and fast, providing excellent service. My favorite drink is the spicy one, but I can’t remember the name either.
I highly recommend this place because I genuinely feel that they care about their customers. And the best part? Their drinks are amazing! They frequently change their menu, so I’m always excited to try something new. I know it’s going to be good because I’ve had great experiences with their previous offerings.
I love this place so much that I highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a great bar experience. I usually go on weekdays, so I don’t know how crowded it can get on weekends. But if you’re looking for a fun and lively atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go!”
“Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. The pasta was perfectly cooked with rich, authentic flavors. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend.”

“Fresh chicken cute and cozy spot in Williamsburg and everything is so good 10/10 would recommend”
“Very nice staff inside, drinks were good. I am down for a pat down and appreciate safety, but I arrived at at 8pm and during the very lengthy and thorough pat down the bouncer kept asking if I'd been bar hopping and that if I'm intoxicated I can't go in...which also fair, but I'm in my forties, it was 8pm, and I was entirely sober. Respect taking a job serious, but I felt oddly unwelcome and it set a tone for us that the kind inside staff didn't quite undo. I would be hesitant to bring a guest here again.”
“Tried this place as me and my partner were looking for an Omakase menu specifically and we were both impressed. The food is fresh, well prepared and if you sit at the bar/counter - you can watch the chef prepare each dish right in front of you which we enjoyed.
Great for a smaller more intimate date night.
The only thing that took away from the dining experience was that the restaurant was in, what seemed like a newer building and as a result, it felt like a bit of a ghost town and the bathrooms were unfinished and across the hall from the restaurant.
Aside from that, great food, VERY fresh fish and a good overall experience.”
“Cody the bartender is nice. Staff very friendly and the vibe is so nice, especially as it provides something different in this neighborhood. Nice happy hour, too.”
“Good music. Delicious appetizers. The paella valenciana for 2 was great! Will be returning.”
“Sofia, Mano and Gino are so hospitable, it was my homegirls and I first time here and we made it right on time for the happy hour (which is mon-sun!) Vibes were so right we stayed at the bar until close, didn’t feel rushed at all and we will be back! thank you Mercato team”
“Great atmosphere… beautiful setting on the water, gorgeous circular bar…neighborhood place grateful for!”
“Best wings ever, and we've eaten a LOT of wings! Thai chili wings were perfect; sweet and spicy, BIG and juicy. Elli and Fernando are great. Highly recommend!”
“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.”
“Freaking awesome. Food is top-tier, flavors are on point, and execution is flawless. Service runs like a well-oiled machine and the atmosphere delivers without trying too hard. Bottom line: this place understands the fundamentals and executes. I’ll be back—no debate.”
“The best ramen! Been coming for over four years. The poke bowls and all appetizers delicious as well. My only feedback is that the service is too quick (entrees always come out when you’re still eating appetizer). Will really miss this place when I move in a few weeks!”
“Love this place. It’s a short walk from home and probably one of the only places that put so much attention to detail and care. Wei was great to talk to - Thank you for the snacks :)”
“I pretty much go to Maman every morning Monday to Friday so much it’s become my morning ritual. William is an awesome kind quick barista with great energy, he makes you feel like you’re apart of the community. I mostly get the cold brew but the croissants are truly the best in the city. I can’t remember life before Maman lol!”
“Incredible above and beyond authentic and luxury Chinese cuisine in the heart of Long Island City. Our server Tony was a master of ceremony with being able to keep our dining experience seamless and so enjoyable on Chinese New Year eve. The food was so delicious, so flavorful and huge portions. The pre-fixe is a fantastic deal. Jing Li restaurant is a gem!!!”
“I was here a couple weeks ago. Very welcoming and friendly. I came here by myself sat at the bar. The attention to detail was there, the bartender was great with information on Japanese whiskey and cocktails. The dessert was blew my tastes bud away.”
“Prem is the ✨ prem de la prem ✨ So easy to book and clear instructions on where to meet at the airport. Super friendly as well. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Ali is a welcoming host and server. The (vegetarian) food was delicious!! We got the vegetarian sampler which was tasty and filling for two of us. Plus he advised us that the rice is not vegetarian so we had the delicious bread instead! How thoughtful. This is a small restaurant that deserves a big reputation! The price was quite reasonable. What a find! Overall excellence!!”
“I've been here several times for dinner with my preschool-aged son and just went today for lunch. It's been a treat each time. I try a different side dish from their rotating menu on each visit, and I haven't been disappointed yet. Everything on their menu has been just the right savory, harmonious amount of flavor without being overly salty or overdone in any way. My son and I also love the fresh tofu. The staff has been very courteous, and everything is reasonably priced. I hope they stay around in LIC because there aren't very many restaurants like this that make things so comfortable in every way. I seldom dine out but I'd eat here anyday.”
“If i could give this place more than five stars i would ! food is phenomenal , staff are amazing . Pictures to follow”
“Delicious food ... fresh ... special lunch rates and above all... service! Outstanding ... they were friendly, courteous, ready when needed and yet respectful.of boundaries! That's why I keep coming back!”
“Absolutely delicious food! Fast friendly service. Will be back for more😋😋”
“Satisfies our bbq cravings, glad this opened in LIC. Great if you don’t mind cooking the meat yourself. Although I would say, ordering from their cooked dishes on the menu are also still very good if you don’t want to grill yourself”
“I found it on this store on google and it’s hand made store macaron store.I am planning to give as a gift.Looks cute and seems delicious.Plus service is good too”
“me encanto la comida, la atención de Cesar. Nos sentimos como en casa. Gracias, hasta la próxima. CAROLINA”
“I have been eating Paramount's American Paddlefish for many years now. I serve it to all my friends in my caviar pie on holidays and it is enjoyed immensely by all. The caviar is pristine and delicious! Their service is very personal and they will wrap your package if its a gift, beautifully. Amy, one of the owners, even sent me a tin during the lock-down! What more can you ask?”
“I’ve been trying to find kong-guksu (soybean cold noodles) but many restaurants only offer it as a summer special. I was surprised to see that this restaurant serves it as a regular menu item.”
“you basically get to choose from a list of options what you would like on your burger and thr fries are really good 👍”
“The food and drinks are great. The atmosphere is lively and friendly. The staff is wonderful. Had my birthday dinner there this weekend and it was great!!”
“Great place. The staff is awesome and are very attentive. Drinks and food were fantastic. Was our first time there and I’ll definitely be back.”
“I don’t know if there is food here but in general the service is good. I liked that me and my friends were able to get a table easily. Definitely not as crowded as other bars but I don’t always want a crowded spot. I like that the jukebox has a lot of Dominican music which I really like”
“The effort to reach this place was rewarded. The workers offer help before you even ask. Each time I eat here, I enjoy it. You can tell they select the ripest, in-season items. All in all, it's excellent and outstanding !!!”
“One observation I will comment on, Jessica the bartender was awesome; Friendly, accommodating & Knowledgeable about sprints!”
“Always a great place for pre-theatre. Fantastic service and excellent food and cocktails.”
“Best mexican food in astoria ! Try the chicken in chipotle cream is outstanding !”
“So much packed into this clean, newly refurbished bodega / corner convenience shop / grocer. New owners, too, it seems. They're nice people. Prices are good, and there is some fresh produce (onions, bananas), which is welcome”
“I went to ‘Sweet Chick’ today with my family. It was pretty random. We left the ‘Blend LLC’ since they wanted us to wait an additional 20 minutes. Keep in mind, we RSVP’ed in advance. So, we ended up waiting two more blocks here. It was completely empty. We were the only people at first.
The food was excellent. I got a Nashville Chicken Sandwich with French Fries. The hot sensation wasn’t unbearable. The atmosphere, aesthetic, and music were impeccable. My family and I plan to revisit this location. Highly recommend it👏🏾!”
“Good food with Vegetarian options and fun decor! Close to Gantry Park”
“A big shout out for the staff especially the manager Renee! Stopped by the LIC Heytea and had a great experience. The store was packed because of the promotion, but the staff were still very patient and professional. Drinks were fresh and delicious. Appreciate the team working hard during such a busy time.”

“We returned on a visit to McLoughlins 38 years after it was the initial beacon on my arrival in the USA. From there I linked up with my friends , got a contact for a job , heard about accommodation going for rent and bumped into old friends. It created a network and a safety net for a whole generation of Irish immigrants. John is carrying on the traditional welcome provided by his father and uncle. He could not have been more helpful or kind as well as having that natural gift of the gab good barmen possess. Drinks were also fine”

I will be returning for dinner often! Bravo to Gianna and all her staff at Manducatis Rustica !”
“Good food prices are lower than most stores around. there buffet is cheaper per lb. Then the Food cellar supermarket 4-5 blocks down the block. I can’t believe all the negative reviews that’s not my opinion!!! I have been living in LIC since April I go at least twice a week for lunch better the most places in the area wish buffet was re stocked for dinner and Millie her self is a nice person some times people are just to critical 🤷♂️”
“We went for Thanksgiving, not expecting much. Understanding they would be busy at 7pm, we decided to take our chances and walk in. Super friendly service. We got a welcome eggnog, brilliantly cooked 3 course price fix menu, great service. There were some hiccups (soup came out crazy fast, while the drinks took the normal time. A little odd) loved that they had a kobe steak as arn option, very moist turkey too. Pumpkin creme bruleee was tasty-not too "pumpkiny". They even have us a free champagne with dessert. Really worth it”

“Such a cozy and welcoming café. The coffee beans are high quality and you can really taste the difference — smooth, rich, and well made. The space is warm and comfortable, perfect for catching up with friends or spending a relaxed afternoon. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. ☕️”
“I’ve known Spot for over 10 years, since their very first location on St. Marks. Over the years, they’ve expanded to more locations, including LIC and Flushing. Since the LIC location is close to where I live, I was genuinely excited when they opened in this area.
Their Green Tea Lava and Golden Toast have been amazing since day one and remain consistently great even now. Back then, the dessert was called Green Tea Lava Cake. It seems they later renamed it to Matcha Lava, likely to give it a more premium feel.
This time, I also tried one of their newer desserts an ube-based dish. It was okay and didn’t particularly stand out, but I do appreciate that they continue to update their menu seasonally and introduce new items.
Overall, it’s great to see the brand evolving while maintaining the quality of the classics that made it popular in the first place.”
“Bake Culture really surprised me in the best way. The garlic hotdog with pesto was the standout—savory, aromatic, and way better than I expected. I also tried the classic custard bun and it was excellent: soft, creamy, and not overly sweet.
The vibe here is super chill and easy, the kind of place where you can relax without feeling rushed. Everything is very reasonably priced too, which makes it even better. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!”

Overflow Coffee is easily one of the best coffee spots in New York. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place was built with intention—everything from the warm, inviting atmosphere to the attention to detail in the drinks and food makes it stand out.
The space itself is beautiful with tons of natural light through the windows, clean design, and just the right balance between cozy and modern. It’s the kind of place you can spend hours in, whether you’re catching up with a friend or getting work done. The environment is calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.
The coffee is top-tier. Smooth, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. Their lattes are especially good. So creamy, rich, and consistently excellent. Pair that with their fresh pastries, and you’ve got a perfect combination.
What really makes Overflow special though is the heart behind it. The staff is genuinely kind, the vibe is uplifting, and it feels like more than just a coffee shop. It feels like a place that brings people together.
If you’re in NYC, this is 100% worth a visit. Whether you’re a coffee lover, need a great place to work, or just want a space that feels good to be in—Overflow delivers.”
“Came for takeout of papaya salad the first time at this Thai restaurant greeted very quickly ordered and within 10 minutes. The order was prepared paid for and sent on my way. The atmosphere is set for dinner time. There were a few people for lunch sitting down already, which was nice to see it. It’s on a corner. You’re very easy to find parking is a little difficult but manageable so much so that I’m coming back for dinner to sit down will let you know later in part two, but I am very pleased. They take credit cards and cash”
“I came in about 1.5 hours ago and the guy working was SO NICE!!!! I really appreciated his service and kindness.
As for the chicken, I agree with other reviews that they BARELY put the sauce on the chicken. I ate predominately dry, semi crunchy chicken wings. I ordered the soy garlic but barely got any sauce.
The pickled radish had a funky taste :(
If there had been a decent amount of sauce, I would have enjoyed a bit more.
I really prefer BB.Q Chicken for Korean fried chicken and their radishes are better.”

Stopped by right after midnight on my birthday, totally unplanned and they made it so special. Delicious crepes, warm service, and big thanks to Mariam for her kindness and Sarah for the perfectly made crepes. Such a lovely late-night surprise in Astoria! I highly recommend!”
“Tried this place as me and my partner were looking for an Omakase menu specifically and we were both impressed. The food is fresh, well prepared and if you sit at the bar/counter - you can watch the chef prepare each dish right in front of you which we enjoyed.
Great for a smaller more intimate date night.
The only thing that took away from the dining experience was that the restaurant was in, what seemed like a newer building and as a result, it felt like a bit of a ghost town and the bathrooms were unfinished and across the hall from the restaurant.
Aside from that, great food, VERY fresh fish and a good overall experience.”
“Sofia, Mano and Gino are so hospitable, it was my homegirls and I first time here and we made it right on time for the happy hour (which is mon-sun!) Vibes were so right we stayed at the bar until close, didn’t feel rushed at all and we will be back! thank you Mercato team”
“I love this place. will join again”
