“Recently went and although the food and waiter staff were great, we were expecting what we seen on here. There was no performances. An empty space. Apparently there's a 2 hr gap between brunch and dinner. The booking site allowed for a 4pm reservation. When we arrived we were accommodated but looked at funny. We found out that brunch had ended at 3pm. I was really hoping for the full experience I seen here and paid alot and didn't get it.”
“Amazing vibes at Saucey! 🍕✨ Fresh ingredients, fun build-your-own pizzas, and killer cocktails. Perfect spot to chill with friends and enjoy great times. Can’t wait to be back! 🎉🍸”
“How is it possible that I didn’t review 4747lic here before?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time I go there for weekend brunch, I have to return for dinner! I just can’t get enough of the place. Their Dutch baby “Primadonna” pancake and lobster roll are to die for. Much of what is on the menu it’s imported from Italy of the finest ingredients. It’s always fun to take the ferry across from Manhattan to the Pepsi Cola Sign and walk a couple of blocks. They can accommodate large groups, children, pets, wheelchairs, (you name it) at their outdoor seating. Run there. 😊💕”

“Love coming here to pick up food for when I’m feeling lazy. Depending on the dish, value is a bit hit or miss. Kimchi stew is quite nice, but very steep at almost $30 for a quart. The radish kimchi was fine but expensive for what it is. Because some items are priced much higher than a typical Korean grocery/eatery in NYC you naturally have higher expectations.”

“In town for work from Seattle (where there is a tragic lack of Bosnian food). This is exactly what I needed after my long flight. Went out of my way to come here before going into downtown, and it did not disappoint!
The Cevapi were incredible; juicy, flavorful and the Kajmak was perfect!
There was no Cevapi left standing.
I will make it a requirement to stop here again next time I’m in town.
The owner was very sweet and sat and chatted with me for a while, I would give 10 stars if I could!”
“I had a great time at Kaiyo. It has been a go to for me when I want sushi and am in Long Island City. The front of the restaurant is only the sushi counter, so it isn't noisy or distracting. It's a good place to sit and talk over a meal. The sushi is good and it is reasonably priced.”

“Excelente sazón y CONSISTENCIA en la misma quizás uno de los mejores restaurantes de comida ecuatoriana en los últimos 3 años en la ciudad de New York . Lugar muy limpio, espacioso , baños impecables, amplio estacionamiento y el sabor de la comida es realmente auténtico , lo único q podría mejorar es la atención un poco caótica y desorganizada pero en general todos los meseros son amables, vayan por ahí no se arrepentirán!”

“Such a cute restaurant! The interior is clean and lovely.
I ordered the Japanese matcha fluffy pancakes and the matcha rose iced tea, and both were pretty good! The Japanese-style dishes were not exactly authentic, but still good and enjoyable!
I’d love to come back and try more items from the menu.”
“A place that is not only historically important for the nyc bar scene but also holds up. Important stop in to queens. Shout to our server Jason he was highly knowledgeable on the history on the cocktail scene as a whole and helped navigate us to the cocktails of our choice!!!”

“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.”
“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 local market is great. I live on this block so they’re very convenient and I go to them for a lot. Snacks, smoothies, paninis, drinks and most recently pasta. I was really surprised, but the linguine carbonara was fantastic! And the price is great. And the staff is always friendly. We’ve been going here for 8 years now.
Give it a try!”
“Definitely the smartest idea to have a late night food spot in this area, since everything is kind of far for someone with no method of transpo. Place is clean, food is all on display no flies or anything, deli guy does what you ask all while being sanitary just dont overload him with directions lol, prices are reasonable as well”
“Saturday evening live jazz music is fantastic!”

“I was craving some dumplings and I walked by Chairman Sun and saw their menu had just what I wanted!
The Pork Soup Dumplings were a 5/5. Full of flavor and the perfect texture. The soy sauce and flavor of the pork matched perfectly.
My Scallion Cucumber salad was a perfect flavor profile for me as a I love a garlic moment. The dressing was drinkable…and the cucumber cuts were hardy and a perfect fresh bite.
Lastly, the spring rolls, solid and great flavor.
Kind staff and great ambience.
Loved my time here!”
“Anable Basin is literally one of my favorite spots in the city, especially during the summer. The views are so pretty, the drinks are good, and the whole vibe is just so fun and relaxed. The staff is also super cool and personable. I love coming here with friends, sitting by the water, and watching the sunset (the best view in New York imo). Definitely a go-to spot for me!”
“5 Star Indian Restaurant is an unassuming, traditional Indian eatery in Long Island City offering a wide-ranging menu of classic authentic dishes. Known for its rich curries, fragrant biryanis, hot tandoori breads, and late-night hours, it serves as a reliable local go-to for takeout, delivery, and casual dining. Standout dishes include chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and garlic naan. While the dining room interior is simple and basic, the generous portion sizes, rich spices, and reasonable prices make it a satisfying neighborhood pick.”
“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”
“The tacos and margaritas were definitely the highlight of our visit! The tacos came out fresh and packed with flavor. The tortillas were soft, the fillings were well seasoned, and everything tasted freshly prepared. We tried a few different tacos, which made it nice to share and sample different flavors.
The margaritas were just as good—refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet like you get at some places. You could actually taste the tequila and fresh lime, and they paired perfectly with the tacos.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable combination of good food, great drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. If you're looking for a spot to grab tacos and margaritas with friends, this is definitely worth checking out. I would come back again, especially for the margaritas!”
“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!”

“Yolanda and her team at OnThe7 is absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and drinks were perfectly made! If you’re looking a cozy space with live music for your small party (I had 40 people attend), this is the place to be! 10/10 would recommend. Did I mention how amazing Yolanda was?”
“It was more than dinner, it was an experience that reminded me of home, family, and the beauty of true Korean cuisine.
We loved every single dish and left feeling both inspired and grateful. Each course came with thoughtful explanations that made the experience not only delicious, but also educational and deeply memorable.
Your passion, knowledge, and dedication truly shine through every detail. Food was exceptional!
We can't wait to come back. Thank you!”
“I used to come here for their lunch specials, which unfortunately are no longer available, but I still enjoy coming for lunch. I love their protein options, especially the tofu — it is absolutely amazing and one of the best tofu dishes I have had.
The tofu is my favorite, and I would recommend this place a million times to anyone looking for great food. Their burgers are good, the tacos are great, and their vegetarian options are always delicious. The quality, flavors, and variety keep me coming back.”
“Second time here, and this cozy little spot near Queens Plaza is becoming a favorite. It's a nice, quiet place for lunch or dinner, and equally good for takeout.
I ended up ordering the same two dishes I enjoyed the first time — the bitter melon salad and mapo tofu. Both were delicious, especially the bitter melon salad, with plenty of flavor and a nice kick of spice in my mapo tofu.
On my first visit, I also tried a Tsingtao beer, which paired perfectly with the spicy food. I ordered medium spicy though with rice noodles.
Good food, relaxed atmosphere, and a lovely little place to have nearby. There is perfumed diffuser in the air that some may find strong.
Overall a great spot.I'll definitely be back!”
“Wow. Wow. Wow. 😍 Chef Diana and her team are TRULY a gem! Came here during NYC restaurant week and it was a beautiful & unforgettable experience. The most amazing hospitality. The Wagyu brisket Kare Kare, green mango & tomato salad, and peach mango float were showstoppers. Definitely gonna return and bring even more of my friends! ❤”
“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!!”
“My boyfriend and I love omakase and this place hits the spot!
We’ve come here a few times and living nearby has become a problem for our wallets because we crave it all the time.
The fish here is super fresh, the omakase pieces are AMAZING, and the staff and sushi chefs are so nice. There have been many times we’ve gone to pricier places and talked about how this one is still one of our faves.
It’s upstairs in the food court, so it can be easy to miss if you aren’t looking, but I 1000% recommend checking it out.”
“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.”
“Soothr LIC delivered an exceptional dining experience for our 8th wedding anniversary. The vibrant atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between high-energy and intimate, making it a stellar spot to mark a special occasion.
Our server, Jelly, was incredible from start to finish—attentive, warm, and seamless with her recommendations, ensuring the evening felt like a true celebration.
The Meal
* Mop Dang Puff: A fantastic start to the meal. The pastry was impossibly flaky, packed with rich, deeply seasoned filling that set a high bar for the rest of the night.
* Had Yai Chicken: Perfectly executed. The fried chicken achieved that crisp outer crunch while remaining tender and juicy inside, highlighted by fried shallots and authentic southern Thai spices.
* Crab Fried Rice: Generous portions of sweet lump crab meat folded into fragrant, perfectly separated rice. It had that distinct wok hei (breath of the wok) flavor that elevates simple fried rice into a standout dish.
* Panang Duck Lychee: The highlight of the night. The rich, creamy Panang curry sauce had just the right amount of heat, beautifully offset by the juicy sweetness of the lychee. The duck was rich and tender with crispy skin, binding all the sweet and savory flavors together.
Soothr LIC brought the heat, flavor, and top-notch hospitality for our milestone night. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate eight years!”
“My first time really exploring Bengali food and I'm blown away. The Kolkata dishes are fantastic, and even the Indo-Chinese chili chicken was amazing.
It's BYOB here with no corkage fee as of this writing, but it's only beer and wine allowed, no hard liquor.
I highly recommend the vegan Cholar Dal, it's a Bengali yellow split-pea/lentil dish with panch phoron (Bengali five-spice) and mustard oil. Fantastic!! Be sure to order a side of luchi poofy bread.
My only complaint is my stomach could not hold more food.”

“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!! :)”
“Abbiamo frequentato il Santa Chiara Café durante la nostra vacanza a Manhattan. Conosciuto per caso è diventato la nostra tappa preferita per la colazione e non solo. Locale raffinato, pulito ed elegante, in pieno stile italiano con vista mozzafiato sullo skyline. Personale educato simpatico e competente. Cibo e bevande di una qualità top a prezzi moderati. Ma vogliamo raccontarvi di più. Al Santa Chiara Caffè tra i nostri preferiti: cornetti, crostate e piccola pasticceria…davvero eccellenti. Gelati artigianali cremosi e gustosi. Nulla è lasciato al caso, anche i nostri amici a quattro zampe erano super felici di fare colazione con i bellissimi biscottini per animali. Una menzione particolare per Enzo best omelettist in town. Last but not least, il proprietario Cristiano, gentile, educato, professionale, simpatico e generoso. Un posto da non perdere, infatti non vediamo l’ora di tornare…aspettateci! ****** English We bumped into Santa Chiara Cafe by chance and after it became our favourite place for breakfast but not only…it is clean and elegant in classic italian style with a great view towards the Manhattan skyline. The staff is nice, polite and very skilled. Food and drinks are top quality with modest price. However, we want to tell you more; favourite food, among the others, are croissants, tart and all the deliciuos small cakes. Not to mention the excellent homemade ice creams. Nothing is left to chance, also our pet friends were super happy to taste the eccellent cookies. Special mention to Enzo who makes the best omelette in town. Last but not least, the owner Cristiano: polite, kind, nice, professional and very generous. Highly reccomended place, not to be missed, we are looking forward to go back again…wait for us!”
“I got the berry acai bowl and it was soooo tasty i ate all of it before i could take a picture. Not only was the fruit l so fresh and flavorful, you get three toppings and the price is so good! I will definitely be back, especially for the fresh watermelon juice. The couple who work this place are the cutest and put so much love into their food ! Bring cash if u can 😌⭐”
“Stopped by for dinner based on reviews here - the person at the food truck didn't disappoint - he was warm & friendly and was clearly keen to get our business. My daughter took the Chicken over rice (she thought it was better than the one I had previously) and I went for the Cheeseburger with a side of fries. $26 in all for this food.
While we were waiting to order, the generator died and he immediately stepped out and switched over. The surrounding of the truck is clean, don't have people hanging around which is a good thing. If I am back in the area, will stop by and try their fish over rice or falafel.”
“Id like to share my wonderful experience at this crepe place. The crepes are absolutely delicious with a wide variety of toppings that are served very generously. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the owner is incredibly kind making every visit enjoyable. If you're looking for amazing desserts and great service I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back.”
“DELICIOUS!!!
I ordered two types of dumplings and buns, and after about 15 minutes, everything came out looking beautiful — and tasting just as good. Everything was fresh, juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
Not gonna lie, when we walked in, I wasn’t sure we should stay because the place was completely empty, and it looked like the only person there was the owner. But we decided to give it a chance, and I’m so glad we did.
I’ll definitely be back.”
“I spent my birthday dinner here and throughout the whole time the staff was attentive, the drinks, & the food were not only quick and delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful”
“Really great dumplings, of course! The fried rice and mapo tofu are also great as well as any of the veggies that you ordered. Underwhelmed with the beef and broccoli, but go for all the dumplings”
“Didn’t know what I was getting into coming here and couldn’t have been happier. Isaac took great care of our group and nailed my drink based off of very little input”
“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.

“Wow! This place was incredible. I have a gluten and shellfish allergy- they were so careful and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. Great service, great food! Came for my birthday and had such a wonderful time- will be coming back. Thank you sm again 🤗”
“One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants to go. Always order their sashimi but hope they keep up with quality ingradients and not fall into discretely cutting corners. The variety of menu is also very good.”
“food is so good! the staff is lovely. very welcoming and inviting.”
“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”
“It was fine, but not remarkable, totally overpriced for what it is. Definitely bring your own vibes situation because it does kind of feel like you’re in a clothing store. Bartender was nice!”
“fantastic food, but horrible service. AND they force an 18% gratuity on all parties”
“Such a cute restaurant! The interior is clean and lovely.
I ordered the Japanese matcha fluffy pancakes and the matcha rose iced tea, and both were pretty good! The Japanese-style dishes were not exactly authentic, but still good and enjoyable!

“My fav drink here is the fresh coconut taro drink with grass jelly. The store is doing a free drink w a $50 gc purchase which is great if you like their drinks here.”
“Beautiful and cozy atmosphere, super comforting Thai dishes! The owner is so friendly and attentive and the prices are fair. I don’t find myself dining in often, but this place is lovely for a date night or a lowkey solo dining experience. Super solid spot when you’re craving Thai!”
“😀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.”
“Love the sense of community, it's a great space. A local friend suggested we check out Culture Lab and we'de glad we did. We caught a free concert and the gallery space had a ln exhibit on drag fashion. It was a fun early evening, our kids enjoyed the music.”
“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 !”
“Had a delicious meal with me and my coworkers. The staff was very attentive and helpful and the food and meat selection was incredible. Delicious marinades. Better than most of the Korean restaurants you’d find in ktown”

“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…😉😋👏🫶‼️”

“A place that is not only historically important for the nyc bar scene but also holds up. Important stop in to queens. Shout to our server Jason he was highly knowledgeable on the history on the cocktail scene as a whole and helped navigate us to the cocktails of our choice!!!”
“The best empanadas outside Argentina. The steaks are truly amazing. Great wine list and wonderful cocktails. Very friendly and attentive wait staff.”
“Great music and perfect for a night out. It is small so I highly suggest making reservations as they do stop the door once they reach capacity so you may be left outside. Arrive early and you are sure to have a great time.”
“The noodles and sauce are out of this world. Their combo portions are insane. And their freshness and quality is always consistent! Hands down kyodong noodles serves the best jjm in all of new york!”
“My boyfriend and I love omakase and this place hits the spot!

“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.”
“This place and the chef/ owner are the best things that ever happened to Astoria. Music oh boy oh boy.”
“Absolutely loved this place! The sushi was super fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Great quality fish, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Everything was excellent, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“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.”
“Everything was delicious! The place is small, but it has such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The food takes a little while to come out, but it’s definitely worth the wait!”
“We came here after being directed from another bar because our group was too big, and what a great intervention from the universe. We immediately got a standing table for our group of 10+ and our host Genevieve welcomed us so warmly and so attentively, especially for my husband celebrating his birthday. Probably about 20 mins later, a table opened up and she was able to get our group seated, and get extra chairs from outside wiped from the rain.
The cocktails were great, our group had a bunch of the Grey Garden (Earl Grey-infused gin-based drink) and our host recommended other yummy cocktails, they had a handful of tea-infused ones that tasted great.
We thought we’d just stay for a drink or two but ended up staying for four hours until 2am. Another table ended up buying us a round of shots back and forth with us! This bar was good vibes all around, with great drinks, a great bartender, and amazing host - shout out for our great time, Genevieve!”
“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.”
“Went out for a girls’ night and had such a great time at Dive Bar! The atmosphere was fun, the drinks were good, and the staff was amazing. The manager Jay made us feel so welcomed and made sure we were having a good time throughout the night. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and the service was great. Definitely a good spot in Queens for drinks and a fun night out. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Great Korean food! I’ve been to many of the "go-to" spots in Manhattan and Flushing, and Kuku is right up there with the best of them. The beef bulgogi and grilled chicken were delicious and very flavorful. Perfect portions and a great addition to the Roslyn dining scene. Highly recommended!”
“Excelente comida,muy limpio Amplio,variedad,empleados muy buenos. Les doy (* * * * *) 5 estrellas!”
“Absolutely delicious food! Fast friendly service. Will be back for more😋😋”

“Bruschetta and margarita pizza were the highlights of my meal. The eggplant dip that comes with the bread basket is also incredibly delicious. The carbonara was okay.”
“perfect service again by Ambrose, always recommend him and Prems.”
“Great spot with amazing food and service! They have a great selection of beers, and everything we tried was excellent. The highlights were definitely the burrito bowl and the burger. Both were delicious. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Nice environment and really good tasting of varieties Japanese dishes. One of the best recommended is that grilled pork belly and I love Mentaiko, cold tofu, TamashiKama and chicken skin. Nice and charming servers and service is incredible.”
“So glad I stopped in here for lunch— I'll be back soon! It's truly a hidden gem. We had a milanesa torta and the quesabirria and both work phenomenal... Truly authentic flavors which is hard to find with Mexican food in the city.
It was quiet in there on a Saturday afternoon, but the atmosphere was welcoming. Our waiter was also the bartender and chef and, presumably, owner.”
“Great atmosphere… beautiful setting on the water, gorgeous circular bar…neighborhood place grateful for!”
“One of the best and busiest Italian restaurant in Sunnyside, Queens.
Pizza, pasta, appetizers are very good.
You gotta try it once in a life if you are a neighbor.”
“The great reviews were RIGHT! Simply delicious, cute locale with super friendly staff. I love trying new sushi combinations and their mango sushi (I tried several kinds!) was simply *CHEF'S KISS*.”
“This restaurant has quickly become one of my family’s favorite places to dine. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the service is always great. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and experience. We always enjoy our visits and look forward to coming back!”
“Philly chicken was great, burger was way too salty, but had flavor, buffalo sauce wings had a slight sweet & spicy effect! Mozz sticks are basic.. atmosphere is awesome, music is not too loud and reps the early 2000s! Thank you”
“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?”
“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!”
“Really delicious Thai. This is real Thai food in the neighborhood. The quality is comparable to many Thai restaurants in Elmhurst that I would go out of my way to order to go. But I guess I can just get it from Ros Niyom now. I love the woonsen so much.
The tom yum is a bit on the salty side but very flavorful.”

“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 !”
“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”

“In town for work from Seattle (where there is a tragic lack of Bosnian food). This is exactly what I needed after my long flight. Went out of my way to come here before going into downtown, and it did not disappoint!
The Cevapi were incredible; juicy, flavorful and the Kajmak was perfect!
There was no Cevapi left standing.
I will make it a requirement to stop here again next time I’m in town.
The owner was very sweet and sat and chatted with me for a while, I would give 10 stars if I could!”
“Friendly customer service, other than that had to wait about 5 minutes for a fish, that I ordered, with no tartar sauce, and no cheese, well they did good by not putting tartar sauce, but they added cheese had to have another one doen,it's not there fault, I was trying to put my order, and the same time trying to ask the person with me in the car, what they wanted,at same time.”

“My first time really exploring Bengali food and I'm blown away. The Kolkata dishes are fantastic, and even the Indo-Chinese chili chicken was amazing.
It's BYOB here with no corkage fee as of this writing, but it's only beer and wine allowed, no hard liquor.
I highly recommend the vegan Cholar Dal, it's a Bengali yellow split-pea/lentil dish with panch phoron (Bengali five-spice) and mustard oil. Fantastic!! Be sure to order a side of luchi poofy bread.
My only complaint is my stomach could not hold more food.”
“Soothr LIC delivered an exceptional dining experience for our 8th wedding anniversary. The vibrant atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between high-energy and intimate, making it a stellar spot to mark a special occasion.
Our server, Jelly, was incredible from start to finish—attentive, warm, and seamless with her recommendations, ensuring the evening felt like a true celebration.
The Meal
* Mop Dang Puff: A fantastic start to the meal. The pastry was impossibly flaky, packed with rich, deeply seasoned filling that set a high bar for the rest of the night.
* Had Yai Chicken: Perfectly executed. The fried chicken achieved that crisp outer crunch while remaining tender and juicy inside, highlighted by fried shallots and authentic southern Thai spices.
* Crab Fried Rice: Generous portions of sweet lump crab meat folded into fragrant, perfectly separated rice. It had that distinct wok hei (breath of the wok) flavor that elevates simple fried rice into a standout dish.
* Panang Duck Lychee: The highlight of the night. The rich, creamy Panang curry sauce had just the right amount of heat, beautifully offset by the juicy sweetness of the lychee. The duck was rich and tender with crispy skin, binding all the sweet and savory flavors together.
Soothr LIC brought the heat, flavor, and top-notch hospitality for our milestone night. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate eight years!”
“Wow! This place was incredible. I have a gluten and shellfish allergy- they were so careful and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience. Great service, great food! Came for my birthday and had such a wonderful time- will be coming back. Thank you sm again 🤗”
“The space is beautiful, clean and simple, good music, calm vibes. The service was great! Very friendly. For food/drink, I got their coconut jam bar and a double espresso, both were delicious, I do wish they served the espresso in a cup to stay in rather than a to-go cup, but that’s a minor detail.”
“Really nice spot with a great variety of food options. The food hall is clean, modern, and has a fun atmosphere. I tried the grilled chicken skewers with vermicelli, spring rolls, and coconut hot coffee — everything was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous. Definitely a good place to stop by in LIC when you want plenty of choices in one place. Will be back!”
