“Camilo is the best!! amazing cocktails as a certified cocktail lover. he even made me one curated to my particular preferences. this place deserves all the hype!”
“Every single time I go the staff are phenomenal! Not to mention the delicious and ever evolving beer offerings! This is the place to be any day of the week! Cannot recommend enough!!”
“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.”
“I've been meaning to come by for ages and finally dropped by with a friend for an early Friday dinner recently. We didn't have reservations, but when we got there around 5:45 there were still a handful of tables open (it did fill up quickly shortly thereafter though).
We ordered two main dishes to share - the paneer do pyaza and the dilliwala butter chicken - and also got an order of garlic naan (comes with 4 pieces) on the side. (The curries come with a side of rice as well.)
I really loved the butter chicken - the curry was really savoury and flavourful, and paired so well with the light garlic naan, and the chicken was really tender. I would definitely recommend this dish.
The paneer was also quite yummy - the texture was lovely, each cube not too hard - and the sauce was very full and rich. This might just be my personal taste, but I did feel like there was just too much other stuff going on (peppers, onions, etc.) that the dish felt a little haphazard overall.
We also each got one of the mango lassis, which was really yummy. The mango flavour tasted very fresh and not too sweet, and I liked that the yoghurt didn't feel too heavy or thick to drink.
A very nice meal overall, albeit definitely on the pricier side. That being said, I do think the price point is reasonable for the quality (esp given NYC price standards lol). I'd love to come back with a bigger group so I can try even more of their dishes (esp the appetisers!).”
“THE SOUP DUMPLINGS ARE A MUST-HAVE!!! I forgot to take photos because I absolutely devoured them before I got the chance, but they are so flavorful!! Truly the best I’ve ever had. Their shiumai and sliced beef & ox tongue with chili sauce was also very yummy!!! Will definitely come back here, it’s become a new favorite! ??”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“i went here on a busy weekend. Go straight to the counter and sign in to the ipad for a table. The meats and sides we chose were good. I came out feeling like a beluga whale.”
“Cute lil spot in Long Island City that opened approx. a year ago serving up authentic Japanese fare. Great for impromptu lunch or to catch up with friends. They do open for dinner and drinks but I haven’t been yet.
I came for lunch with two of my friends. We tried the Omurice, Vegan Ramen and Matcha Soufflé Pancake. I omitted the bacon from my rice. The rice was a bit dry or overcooked and the egg wasn’t as eggy/runny as expected. We shared the matcha pancake, it was delicious enough to disappear in under 5 minutes. Our drinks were delicious as well. Mine was a bit too sweet for my taste so I watered it down.
I’ll definitely recommend and be back!”

“Great for celiacs as you can have gluten free bibimbap!
Food is really good and while it's not true traditional bibimbap (no stone bowl which means the rice doesn't get the same crunch) the flavour was bang on and it's a good portion as well. Could use a smidge more protein. Veggies were delicious.
Great service as well.”

“A place with a wonderful atmosphere. The view is beautiful. You can admire the sunset and then beautifully illuminated Manhattan. I would definitely come back for this atmosphere. A very large selection of beers, all the ones I tried were good. As for the food, it was ok. It wasn't anything outstanding but it was tasty. The meat was well cooked and had a nice grilled flavor. The whole dish would need some original sauces that would make everything less dry.”
“One of my favorite Szechuan spots in NYC. They are probably the best in LIC as mentioned in their name.
Only miss I’ve had here is the mapo tofu. Too much oil and had no meat.
But I would recommend the green beans, cumin lamb, dry pot. All delicious.”
“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”

“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!

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!”
“Delicious authentic Mexican food, beautiful decor, sophisticated chic ambiance, mood lighting, friendly service, and live Salsa music on Thursdays.
What's not to love?!
Reccos: their mocktails and specialty drinks; corn ribs; enchiladas, chicken, and fish entrees. So far we've loved everything we've tried.
Please let the staff know of any allergies and they will assist accordingly.”
“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 !”
“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.

“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.”
“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”
“😀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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“10/10 for sure , very welcoming atmosphere . I felt like VIP.”
“Super cute inside.
Absolutely FANTASTIC enchiladas!!
Here on vacation, and usually like to change up where we eat, but I would 110% come back here.
Definitely a must try!”
“All the drinks and food were satisfying. The menu, thoughtfully selected by an expert chef from prestigious Citarella Gourmet Market, delivered an incredible sense of satisfaction and sophistication, rarely found in a small bar. The reasonable prices brought even more satisfaction. Whether it's the weekend or any other time, if you're looking to enjoy a drink in a luxurious and pleasant atmosphere, there's no need to go all the way to Manhattan. This is exactly the place you've been search”
24 Hour Restaurants
“24 hours. Patient staff. Great service. The ice cream portion size is also better than other Baskin Robbins locations!I got rum raisin, oreo cookies n’ cream, and pistachio almond. The latter two were amazing but the rum raisin was way too strong in terms of alcohol content. Would not recommend it to people who are sensitive to that.This location is also inside Food Bazaar, a 24-hour mega mart. The overall experience of late-night grocery shopping and getting ice cream is great.Seating is also available. Clean bathrooms are right inside the supermarket.”
“Although they are advertised as a restaurant, both times I ate it was from the store section: soft drinks, cookies, bread and chips. Acceptable prices, excellent assortment and good service.
Sometimes they get crowded and you can wait up to 10 minutes in line to pay.
There were people outside hanging out smoking weed. I didn't feel unsafe, but it is somewhat uncomfortable.”
“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”

“What an amazing place. I moved to LIC months ago and immediately identified that Culture Lab was a great community hub. From motorcycles to art work to comedy shows, they have it all, and they support it all. I loved it so much I became a volunteer. If you want to experience LIC, the arts, and a great community of humans doing the right things, please check out Culture Lab!
And no, they didn't ask me to write this. I just love this place and what they are doing.”

“Good sushi and ramen place in the area! Would go back. Good food, service, and location.
We went on a weekday evening around 6:30 and there were plenty of tables open. Service was attentive to order and refill waters throughout our visit.
I liked how they had sets for various menu options. This allowed us to sample few things as it was our first time.
Being a regular sushi eater, one surprising thing was that their rolls are huge! I couldn’t eat them in one bite. They were good but they didn’t taste the freshest. For us this was okay but if you’re looking for freshest, more classic sushi experience this may surprise you a bit.
Ramen was filled with veggies and enough noodles. Surprisingly good portion sizes for the price!”
“Came on a weekend and was sat down immediately. Liked that the service was really fast. Got the suan cai and fish rice noodle, and it was delicious. The noodles were so flavorful and really hit the spot for a sour noodle. Also shared the popcorn chicken with two others, and those were done well as well. Definitely a great place for Chinese food.”
“Astounding sandwiches! The "Queen's Baby" is absolutely delicious - even though it's a bit pricey, it's a lot of food. The Havana panini is a classic Cuban that would fit in perfectly in Miami. The bakery items look absolutely amazing, and I would love to go back and try more of their menu! The only downside is the limited seating.”
“I was the last customer and they still greeted me with a smile and welcoming atmosphere and was really quick with the food. First time trying it and the food was delicious Like I still can’t forget about it I wish they have way more locations in Brooklyn🥹. I got beef (mid spice) and chicken (mild), both with rice and the cucumber salad and dumplings 🥺 the best I had ever had🔥♥️ Definitely taking all of my friends and family there🤤”
“My first time here!! Food was delicious and great portion, my lavender latte so rich!! It’s freezing today and I was able to go inside with my dog. Kinka ( I’m sorry if I spelled it wrong) so sweet and welcoming to me and my pup while we waited for our order.
Will be back!!”
“Super friendly service. I ordered a pad see ew with chicken and it was delicious. Surprised to see such an authentic place on a commercial street on Steinway. Lunch specials are super affordable and good portion size. I'm looking forward to trying the duck egg noodles next!”
“We took crepes and fresh squeezed orange juice, everything was delicious! The waitress was so polite and the bartender very welcoming, i will definitely go back and recommend everyone to visit the beautiful patio in the back.”

“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 unassuming bar has it all.
Food
Perhaps the least expected, but the food here is actually great. The highlight of it all is the grilled chicken caesar salad, we have yet to find a better one in this neighborhood. The tacos and grilled cheese are also not bad, but maybe more your typical bar stock.
Service
The bartenders all have a kind of calm, amicable presence. In the three years I’ve lived nearby, I’ve never seen even a trace of impatience, even on busy nights. They’re always getting into conversations with the locals, and it gives the place a friendly vibe.
Ambiance
I think this place is underrated as a date spot. It’s not fancy, and sometimes some of the tables can be a bit sticky (hey, spills happen it’s fair). But the lighting is nice — a warm amber light fills the place, and I think it makes you look better. I always feel like I have good conversations with people here, and I can’t quite say why, but I think it’s the vibe. If you’re not looking for anything too fancy, and just want a down to earth place to meet up with someone, this is your spot.
Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese, Caesar salad”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“Overall it is a good spot with food appropriately priced for what you get. I got the cumin lamb burger and the cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was AMAZING and definitely a must get. I ate it all and drank all the juice with no shame and would have had no problem getting another. The lamb burger was ok but I don't think I would get it again. I have had others that were way better so that's the reason for that. The flavor of the lamb was good but the bun was a turn off for me. The bun to me resembled two slices of white bread. If that's your style then I would recommend it but I've had ones that were more flakey which is what I like more. I will definitely be back for the cucumber salad and to check out other items on the menu.
Parking: Good luck finding street parking but you still have to walk.”
“I didn't realize that I've been to their Flushing location 6 years ago until I searched my photo library for this review. This location is in the food court inside Hmart LIC. It was grand-opened in May. And luckily the 30% grand opening discount continued to get extended for a couple of months, so it was a no brainer for me to visit every time I was in town during this period:
- Curry Pork Cutlet $17. Nice big platter size plate, but the pork was bland and the curry had no heat. It was a disappointment.
- Jolmyun Dukbokki $12. Dukbokki with glass noodle in the mix. It was better than expected and not as spicy as it looked. Good.
- Seafood Udon $14. Clear broth with prawns, fish cakes, and clams. Not bad. But I'd have Seafood Ramyun instead.
- Seafood Ramyun $12. Spicy and additive broth with lots of octopus, some clams and 1 prawn. Definitely recommend this over the Seafood Udon: better texture, more kicks, and $2 cheaper to boot.
- Pork Cutlet Udon $14. This is better than the Curry Pork Cutlet. At least the cutlet was hot and crispy and the udon soup was comforting. Not bad.
Prices are before 30% discount. Service can be slow, particularly for soupy dishes which can take 25 minutes without line. You can return your tray etc in the back of the food court next to the bakery.”

“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”

“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 🤷♂️”

“First of all, Jesse deserves a raise. She’s incredible and has served me, my partner, my mother, father, and friend. This is to Jing Lee management - give her that promotion!!!
Secondly, the food is DELICIOUS. It’s rare that multiple people in my life agree on how tasty the food is. The cumin lamb is spicy and covered in distinct, flavorful spices. The crunch of the seasons green beans and the spicy aftertaste is ?.”
“Sweetgreen has become our almost daily lunch spot for good reason. The food is always fresh and flavorful, but it’s the team that truly stands out. They’re welcoming, attentive, and consistently go above and beyond, making every visit feel like a personalized experience. It’s not just a great place to grab a meal—it’s a place where you feel like a regular, thanks to an incredible crew! Looove”
“I recently visited moge tea, and I have to say, it’s my new favorite spot for milk tea! The flavors are absolutely delicious, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. I tried their mango one and strawberry one, and it was perfectly balanced—just the right amount of sweetness and fruit freshness.
The staff was super friendly and helped me choose the perfect drink based on my preferences. Plus, the shop itself has a cozy, welcoming vibe, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Highly recommend if you’re a milk tea lover!”
“Ziggle was incredible! While the meats were tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. The banchan (side dishes) added variety, and the staff was super helpful and attentive. A perfect spot for great food and a good time—I’ll definitely be back!
(Chris the new manager here was very kind and helpful)”
