“Court Square Diner: A Slice of NYC Life Court Square Diner is like stepping into a scene straight out of Sex and the City.Whether you're grabbing a late-night coffee or indulging in a slice of cake that you can’t quite finish because you’re watching your waistline, the vibe is quintessentially New York. The atmosphere is perfect for those late-night gossip sessions with friends, where you can catch up on life and soak in the city’s energy. The breakfast portions here are massive, ideal for those with a big appetite. It's the perfect spot to unwind and feel like a true New Yorker. If you’re looking for that classic NYC diner experience, Court Square Diner is where you need to be.”

“NYC typically rivals the Chinese food you can find in the Bay Area and Hupo certainly helps that case. Focusing on Sichuan style cuisine, Hupo has a wide array of entrees and bites that will leave you full and wanting to come back for more. They certainly do deserve their Bib Gourmand. We had a reservation for 5 set for dinner and were glad we did so as the place was very busy when we arrived. The interior is clean and simple with no frills. Once seated we were informed that they only have digital menus through a QR code which was a bit difficult to navigate with 2 out of the 5 of us being older and not as tech savvy but we figured it out anyways.

We ordered a few different entrees and split them family style so we’ll go over them generally. Side note: although many of the dishes are noted as being spicy you can request that they be made without any spice. For dim sum/appetizers we ordered the scallion pancakes and pork soup dumplings. The scallion pancakes were okay, nothing special about them but the pork soup dumplings were a bit better with a tasty broth inside and nice chewy dumplings. For entrees we got duck fried rice, braised beef noodle soup, beef with broccoli, and dan dan noodles.

The duck fried rice was very good. Many places opt to use day-old rice for fried rice and you can often tell by the texture, but if they do that here then we were fooled because the rice tastes fresh and the duck was perfect. The braised beef noodle soup was also good, not the best we’ve had, but still good with the beef having a nice texture and the broth being rich. The beef with broccoli was great, the beef velvetized and delicious, the broccoli, well, broccoli. Lastly, the dan dan noodles were fantastic. The noodles were cooked perfect, the minced beef very delicious, and the bok choy tasty as well. As it is food wise, Hupo is a standout, particularly in the Western Queens area, the only knock being its service is a bit iffy with the workers being not too warm but for the meal you get, we’re willing to shut up and just eat. A fantastic restaurant all around!”

“This Chinese restaurant offers a spacious and clean dining area, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. The service is attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience from start to finish. Food is served quickly, perfect for those looking for a fast yet satisfying meal. The flavors are delicious, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced seasoning. Their lunch special is a great deal, making it my go-to choice whenever I visit.”

“Love this place! Excellent service, great food, wonderful environment! I’m going back. Love the moctels!!!!Great experience!”

“If you don’t like a ramen with an actual broth base, keep walking! But if you like quality ingredients and no-frills ramen, this is the ramen for you. Shio is straight broth and the Sho Yu is slightly a bolder version.

The Cha-Shu pork were excellent cuts, with the right mix of meat and fat, and they were braised to the perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture without being too soft.

All for $18. Yes please. There is clearly a focus on quality ingredients and precision preparation. The atmosphere felt very tidy and a step above casual, with light jazz music and airy decor. A great add to the neighborhood.

The fries were quite nice as well.

The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They had an authentic interest in our dining experience. We’ll definitely be returning from time to time. Hopefully brunch is similarly impressive!

FWIW, we sat at the bar for a chill date night and enjoyed to intersecting with the bartender while she carefully crafted mixed drinks that each had a unique edge to them.”

“Delish!! Excellent Bloody Mary’s!!”

“If You’re in the area, it’s a good hangout place. It’s good to watch games and/or have a good meal. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.”

“We are regular customers of CARLA. The food is consistently delicious. There’s something for everyone here (one of us is vegetarian and the other is not. Plenty of options for all.) It never disappoints. The staff (especially Lisa and Pablo) are always welcoming, attentive, and eager to make sure our dining experience is outstanding. CARLA is a little gem. Don’t miss out! P&G”

“Amazing service from Grace who helped me navigate the menu with our food allergies in mind and Kenya who totally rocks behind the bar! Great tacos in an excellent atmosphere, what’s not to like?”

“Great view, and great staff, there were always long lines for the 2 bathrooms though. I also do NOT recommend the margaritas, they are pre-batched with some nasty mixers. Stick to the 1&1 (vodka soda, gin tonic etc), or beer. Our friends did order the burger, and it looked and smelled amazing.”

“Yesterday, on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, we brought our parents and children to have a meal together. We usually go to Flushing for hot pot, but we didn't expect such a good hot pot so close to LIC. There are many special dishes, all of which taste good. The bell shrimp slider and egg yolk shrimp slider are both good. The medium spicy base is just right. I will try the spiciest one next time.

But what makes me come back is the great service. The person who served our table was Tao, who was very attentive and provided us with soup and vegetables in a timely manner. One time, the soup accidentally spilled. They quickly replaced us with a new pot of soup and replenished various dishes. Before leaving, we were even allowed to taste the homemade soy milk in the store. Not because of these dishes, but because it can be seen from these actions that Tao really cares. He takes care of our family with intention. He hopes that we can eat happily and not be unhappy because of accidents. He only observes such subtle things out of kindness. , the service is so attentive. This kind of service is no longer common in fast-paced hot pot restaurants, and I hope that this original intention can be maintained. Thank you Tao for giving us the opportunity to take our children and parents to enjoy this wonderful experience. We will come back for food soon. I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

In addition, the ladies and gentlemen in all the stores are very friendly. When passing by, they will subconsciously check the table to see if there is anyone who needs service. They will also say hello and say thank you for coming. It feels very friendly, like home away from home.

Thank you for your delicious food and beautiful hearts.

Kid-friendliness: It would be better to prepare some small children's plates instead of plastic boxes”

“Loved this place! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I came with my dog, and they gave us a really nice spot to sit — such a sweet touch! 🐶
They also recommended three drinks, and honestly, all of them were amazing. The vibe was great — there was even some live music later, which made the night even better.
Perfect spot to chill and relax after work. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Erick is an amazing server. Has recommend me two different type of meat and has become my top three. Marinated steak is my favorite one. Always attentive and friendly. I come here often and I bring my friends and it never been a bad moment. Thank you Erick for serving us. We would see you soon again 👍🏽. Wonderpig is goated 🐐”

“Fantastic gem in LIC. Great authentic flavors and extensive menu. Fun cocktails too!! Highly recommend the black jack beef, Mongolian lamb, Changsha chicken and dragon eye for dessert. Amazing. Liam was our server and was very attentive, personable and gave great recommendations. Check it out!”

“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”

“Great place. I love to be there 🥰”

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️”

“The food, service and experience was simply spectacular!”

“this place is the best, the food, the atmosphere, the drink!!!”

“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.”

“If i could give this place more than five stars i would ! food is phenomenal , staff are amazing . Pictures to follow”

“😀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.”

“I love this place! I’ve told all my friends about it. The music is 10/10. Drinks are 10/10. Service 10/10. I had such a GREAT time. My man and I literally danced all night. The manager gave us shots because it was our birthday. So sweet!

Food is 4/10. They don’t have much on the food menu so I recommend eating beforehand and enjoying their cocktails cause they’re bomb!

The vibe is so open & free people just want to have a good time! And the aesthetic is so cute. Can’t wait to visit again!”

“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 small plates and the desserts are fantastic.”

“Went here for an early dinner with my friend, and everything was perfect! Food was awesome! Our server, Elly, was super helpful, knowledgeable, and sweet. She made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back!”

“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!”

“Great shop to stop by and grab a wrap or sandwich. Lots of delicious options, made fresh, and at reasonable prices. Open 24 hours and available for a late night snack in the area.”

“El cafe es muy eskisito 👌😘”

“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”

“I had smoked salmon and cream cheese that was very good. I took it to go since I had to go back to work. Service was quick. $15 cost was reasonable for the sandwich plus an iced coffee.”

“The warm and delicious food, along with the clean overall area, made for a pleasant atmosphere. No offense, but it was a refreshing change. I’m definitely coming back here for my post-workout meal!”

“The service is always excellent, everything is always perfect. Tonight I came in to claim a free hashbrown and my experience was completely different. The person taking my order was rude, aggressive and provocative.”

“Food and atmosphere were far better than other McDonald’s in NYC - but Jingxuan is perhaps the star of the show!! I only caught a glimpse of his name tag but his service and manners were better than some waiters I’ve had from Michelin restaurants. Give the man a damn raise! Or just make him the manager if he isn’t already! I’m actually amazed 👏👏👏”

“Buen tracto muy buen servicio”

“Went in to this restaurant late at night for a quick bite - only one other group there but it was excellent. The garlic naan was the best I have ever had and the manager was very hospitable.”

“I've always walked by this shop and wanted to check it out one day. While they have a selection of Korean household dishes/banchan, you can also order food to eat here (although there isn't much seating except for a bar at the window).

Their selection of banchan (Korean side dishes) are thoughtfully curated and made in-house. They seem to use premium ingredients and their prices reflect that. I didn't get any of their banchan as I already had a lot at home, but I did try their beef kimbap. Maybe my expectations were really high, but I didn't see anything special with it. It was good, but you could easily find kimbap that tastes just as good at a more affordable price.”

“One of the best spots to check in LIC! They have a cute patio where you can sit outside. It’s the coziest thing ever especially in Fall season. The spicy chicken linguine is definitely worth to try. Have to mention that all the events going on here are 100% lovely 🥰 The time of getting my food is also acceptable! Staffs are nice.”

“The food and the place itself is absolutely amazing as well as the employees”

“Authentic Japanese spot serving quality cuts at a fraction of the price of other places. Particularly enjoyed the salmon and tuna cuts as well as the takoyaki. The atmosphere transports you back to little hole-in-the-walls in Japan and the staff are so sweet and attentive. Will definitely come back!”

“Wonderful place work across the street all the the guys place orders over there never complained. Jorge the owner is down to earth and pleasant place to hang out and enjoy a nice Arnold palmer!”

“One of the coziest and most welcoming Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in New York City! The atmosphere is warm and relaxing, with natural tones and ambient lighting that make it perfect for a dinner date or reunion with friends and family.

The menu offers a wide range of comforting dishes. We especially loved the shrimp with walnuts (so creamy and satisfying), the chili fish, and the soup dumplings. The cabbage hot pot came in a vessel with an open flame underneath to keep it warm throughout the meal, which was such a lovely touch. The lamb dish was served with fire as well, adding some visual excitement to the table. They also brought out hot tea kept warm over a small candle, which added to the cozy fall vibe.

It happened to be Mid-Autumn Festival when we visited, and they even gave us complimentary mooncakes, such a thoughtful surprise! We also had the Peking duck, spring rolls, and more, and everything was served fresh and full of flavor.

This place has a natural charm and offers a truly comforting dining experience. I’ll definitely be back again soon!”

“Love this place! The owner is super cool and the food is delicious! 10/10 taste and customer service every single time!”

“Saw this truck for a while & I enjoyed Thai food but never considered it. No particular reason why as I saw a few people I'm acquainted w/eat there.

So June 10th, I suddenly had the desire for 🍗 & 🥦 with garlic sauce. I walk around and see that Thai Taste had that on the menu.

I purchased it for $12. Note they take cash & Zelle. Probably other options too but these are the ones I use so I remembered.

Workers asked me if I wanted it spicy or not.

The food was great. I have no complaints about the food at all.

I went back 2 days later for the same meal with a little more spice.

S/N the sudden desire for 🍗 and 🥦 came because I walked into a room where someone was eating it.🤣. I found that out later.”

“You were open Christmas when my coffee maker died! I've gone there multiple times before & your food & service are always top notch. I went in for coffee & came out with everything under the sun!”

“Incredible service from Dena and her team. They went above and beyond to get us a rush order delivered straight to us, on time during the holiday rush. Grateful for such excellent service!”

“Our favorite hangout spot in the neighborhood. There is a solid draft menu and a few bottle/can options also. There is usually a rotating food vendor cooking next store also, but you can bring in DoorDash/etc too. The bartenders are good and the cat (Brownie) is super friendly!”

“Had goat curry thali for lunch. food was delicious. staffs are good. recommending this place.”

“Underrated coffee shop in the neighborhood. Quality coffee, good food. And the back patio is a hidden gem. Breakfast burrito is pretty good, and the avocado toast. Nice people.”

“Very nice food.
Only complaint is that we asked for “mild” and it was very spicy still. Perhaps should have asked for no spice as the food itself was very well cooked and flavourful.

Got beef dish and chicken dish”

“🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”

“Saw a friend’s band play here last week. I don’t love LIC as a neighborhood but this place is nice. It is a really cool space with a great backyard and the staff are incredibly friendly. Highly recommended if you are in the area.”

“Where everybody know ya name. And your always glad you came.”

“My favorite halal cart. Everytime I got Steinway I go there. The food is always fresh, chicken and lamb always flavorful and a lot of veggies included too. He offers me a falafel while I wait everytime. The falafels are great too! Very friendly, highly recommend.”

“Bartender: PJ! Guy has been here since the inception, NY guy through and through. Makes a great drink and makes a great cocktail

Music : 🎵🎤🎶 90’s Hip Hop - Great music”

“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!! :)”

“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.”

“The all entire menu is great.”

“Good music. Delicious appetizers. The paella valenciana for 2 was great! Will be returning.”

“5 days in NY, spent 2 nights dining in this restaurant.. Like it love it ! Great food nice people ! Thx for the experience, greetings from Belgium.”

“Very simple place with some stools and a counter but if you live in the neighborhood just take it to go. I can’t confirm they always do this but when I ordered the guy in the back stated slapping some noodles and made my meals to order. The noodles were nice and chewy, the sauce was spicy with a bit of good depth (not overly complex but also not too simple). There was just the right amount of pork meat that was tender enough to break into strips to make eating a little less messy. One of the best things is my dish was 13 bucks. Which is a nice price for a good meal. They are also a chain with one in mid town Manhattan that I’ve been to and the lamb cumin noodles were also great. Hard to go wrong with fresh pulled noodles that is kind to your wallet.”

“I ordered a lobster roll, mimosa, + salad from the brunch menu. While the serving was small considering the price, it was delicious. Staff was odd. They all (hostess, waitress, cafe bar) kind of lacked social skills. Not very warm and welcoming.”

“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”

“This used to be my coffee spot when I lived near the park. I miss their smiling faces, kindness, and my delicious cold brew / waffle combination! Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to drop by!”

“Absolutely fire. I was out of the city for like a week and this was the first spot I ran to when I got back home. The service is always impeccable, the staff is so sweet and care about satisfaction. The birria & tinga tacos are phenomenal, highly recommended. I have a gluten allergy and have not gotten sick, so truly 10/10 across the board.”

“Best deli in LIC! Never disappoints Always fresh!”

“Situated in Rafferty Triangle is a truck making large brunch items known as Chinese crepes or jianbing. I recommend adding two eggs and taking advantage of the vegetables as they add lasting crunch. The flavor is really good and as a result I'm a repeat customer.”

“Super yummy! Mangos are fresh. Definitely recommend”

“You'll appreciate the care that goes into the food here. Employees provided decent service. Their cooking brings out great taste in everything. This place provides atmosphere, satisfaction and complete quality. If I'm in this neighborhood, I'll visit again.”

“great food and great service”

“Loved the food!

The owners are doing their thing with this place! I got the Jerk chicken, rice n peas with oxtail gravy and the cooking is just like back home! The taste, the spice and everything nice!”

“Cute place with delicious teas ??. First picture is of Pineapple Green Tea the next pictures are of Passion fruit green tea. The latter is very sweet even if it wasn't with sweetness 100% the former definitely less sweet but both were tasty and the price is also reasonable.”

“great place for a meet up!! owe and good coffee and pastrys.”

“I highly recommend this food truck. My food delivery experience with Eat Real Halal was great. Ordering was simple and seamless. The food was very flavorful! I really enjoyed the mixed (lamb/chicken) over rice with white sauce. I’ll definitely be ordering again!”

“Checked out Halal Muchies after so many people told me about it and they did not disappoint!!! Cooked perfectly, super tasty and great portions! I hope this place is around for a very long time!”

“Fast service and food tastes soo good”

“Halle and Roberta are the most kind attentive and knowledgeable ppl I’ve ever encountered in the whole of NYC coffee shops, including other Joe’s
YOURE GREETED WITH A SMILE every time
I love this location”

“I’ve grown up going to the flushing location and was so excited to see one in LIC. I ordered through Grubhub and had the worst experience with Grubhub. They didn’t have enough drivers and delayed my order 2 hours.. I felt so bad that the restaurant probably already made my food and that it was sitting there. I eventually cancelled with Grubhub because their customer service was abysmal and they still didn’t have a sense of when a courier would get there, but felt so bad that the restaurant would ultimately suffer the loss! The restaurant even called me shortly after the order was cancelled to apologize and explain that the food was already made but that the Grubhub courier never arrived. I’ve never had a restaurant go out of their way to do that. I felt so bad that Grubhub screwed them over. Their food is amazing, but their service is even better. Go in person or call in your order and pick it up. Don’t deal with food delivery apps unless you absolutely must, and if you do I hope your experience is better than mine!”

“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!”

“Five stars for Good Neighbor Queens in the Falchi Building. Best cold brew in the area. This place is a vibe and I love it.”

“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”

“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 !”

“Five stars for Good Neighbor Queens in the Falchi Building. Best cold brew in the area. This place is a vibe and I love it.”

“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 🤷‍♂️”

“If you want a fresh, healthy meal that leaves you satisfied, Sweetgreen is a must-visit. I was in a rush and a bit upset because my favorite salad the Super Green Goddess, usually only available online wasn’t on the in-store menu.

Elisee noticed right away, went above and beyond, and kindly made the salad for me anyway. I added chicken for extra protein, and she even suggested trying the new ripple fries with their special sauce on the side trust me, it took the meal to the next level!

Every bite of the Super Green Goddess shredded kale, baby spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, shredded cabbage, spicy broccoli, roasted almonds, chickpeas, raw carrots, and their signature green goddess ranch was fresh, vibrant, and delicious. The fries were crisp, perfectly seasoned, and the sauce was the perfect finishing touch.

The whole team was energetic and welcoming, but Elisee truly made my day with her kindness and attention to detail.

If you’re craving something fresh, flavorful, and made with care, Sweetgreen and especially Elisee should be at the top of your list!”

“Fast service and food tastes soo good”

“The food was fantastic! Our server, Jorge, recommended the cumin lamb and it was absolutely delicious 🤤. He provided excellent service, and overall I’d definitely come back with my friends.”

“Buen tracto muy buen servicio”

“The quality of the food, level of service, and the neatness of the place… thumbs up 👍. We had an entire table filled with meals and side dishes, and the bill was $50ish, which is more than reasonable in today’s economy.”

“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.

Food is 4/10. They don’t have much on the food menu so I recommend eating beforehand and enjoying their cocktails cause they’re bomb!

The vibe is so open & free people just want to have a good time! And the aesthetic is so cute. Can’t wait to visit again!”

“@spotdessertbar has been always my fave dessert place when they opened first time many years ago. You can order single dessert or if you want to order varieties of it, they have Omakase deal for $79.95 (5 tapas dessert, 3 pastries and 1 pot of tea).

My top fave is Matcha Lava cake. The moment I cut into it, that warm, gooey pure chocolate started flowing. The outside is perfectly baked, soft with a slight crisp. Not overly sweet, just rich and so satisfying. Paired with a scoop of ny fave Matcha ice cream. Absolute perfection.

Also must order Harvest which is in the shape of plant pot (very creative !). It's layered soft cheesecake, milk tea with raspberry sorbet on the side.

We also ordered Hey Jasmine (jasmine panna cotta, pandan sago, raspberry sauce, jasmine ice cream) and Sweet Beanie (red bean mochi Mousse with black sesame ice cream). They are all so delicious and unique.

Peachy Summer is very refreshing with their shaved ice of white peach granita, passion fruit cremeux and coconut sauce.”

“I wanted to see if the hype was worth it.
I really liked their matcha with persimmon!
It was just right amount of sweetness and strong matcha flavor!
It’s a bit expensive but I understand since they use matcha from Kyoto!”

“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!”

“Delicious food and friendly service—We’ve noticed this place in the neighborhood and finally tried it today and I’m so glad we did!

The lamb tagine was rich and flavorful, the flatbread with honey had a great taste and texture, and the pastilla (chicken baked in a filo-type dough) was very interesting—sweet and savory with a hint of orange blossom.

Overall, really happy for the new addition to the neighborhood and will definitely be back again!”

“overflowcoffee is a perfect spot to get some work done. this place is spacious and has everything you need to wfh.

i tried matcha latte ($6) 🍵 and it did not disappoint. they whisked it on the spot (not from a huge pre-made batch👌🏻which i have seen a lot these days).

they have wifi, many seats (with a few outlets), restroom, and great coffee / pastry menu. you can choose a seat by the window, couch, or proper table. there is ample natural light here.

located near the east river, you can walk a couple blocks and wind down after work 🤍”

“Another addition to Steinway is this authentic Algerian restaurant. The client and the staff are friendly, and the food is tasty and affordable. I like the way they cook the liver 'kibda' with fat.”

“We had such a great experience here tonight I feel compelled to write a review. The food was absolutely outstanding from start to finish and the service was perfect. I honestly loved everything I ate, but stand-outs for me were the wagu “tacos” and the tofu salad. The atmosphere was also so nice, too. No notes! Highly recommend!”

“Before anything, the best stalls are the Mala dry hotpot stall, and the Fat cat flat bread stall, with runners up being the marathon hongkong cafe. Everything else is pretty mid. The flatbread is a must try! It's literally a crispy baked paper thin flatbread that somehow even has meat in it! (Or whatever you want) and the mala dry hotpot place is also really good!”

“The food here is deliciously authentic. I love the cozy yet lively vibe that the colorful artwork and decor bring.
I came for Taco Tuesday and was not disappointed. For those who are vegetarian, this is one of the few places I know with sooo many options and varieties for tacos. I cannot wait to try them all. They also have wonderful jugos frescos. I had the tamarind. Yum! 😋
The owners are such lovely people. They are local, as I am, and I am so happy they're here.”

“Good service and good friendly”

“My favorite dessert spot in Astoria! I always get the Lotus crepe, it’s absolutely my favorite dessert. After finding this place, no other crepe spot has compared! Not only are the crepes delicious every single time, but the employees are also incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s so nice to see such warm and genuine staff at a local business. Highly recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth!”

“Great coffee, special delicious pastries excellent service, wonderful smiles!
Finally something different, something really good!
Congrats and thank you!”

“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.”

“Food was not top end. But taste was good. Tried their shawarma. I’ll not say exactly a shawarma. But taste was not bad. Burger was not bad. Overall Average experience.”

“Best lamb over rice platter I have had in NYC. I’ve had easily over 50 different lamb over rice platters throughout Manhattan, Bronx and Queens and this spot is my favorite”

“Super authentic xiaolong bao, shengjian bao, and jiaozi. Takes me back to China. Very friendly service. They also have the best Beijing style yogurt drink outside of Beijing. Highly recommend!”
