“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 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.“

“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?“

“Delicious food ... fresh ... special lunch rates and above all... service! Outstanding ... they were friendly, courteous, ready when needed and yet respectful.of boundaries! That's why I keep coming back!“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“This is a real gem of place. The food and wine is perfect. A beautiful and unique menu. Staff are friendly and efficient. Gorgeous venue, loved the rock music. Highly recommend.“

“This establishment is everything! From the time I entered the service was impeccable. I had the seared Bass w/Copolini and the Crab Spring Rolls. 5 stars, a must when in NYC.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Excellent cocktails, excellent service, and excellent atmosphere! 10/10“

“The autumn salad was amazing!!“

“Moono became one of my favorite spots in NYC. My wife and I tried it after a last minute reservation and I have to say it was amazing. Moono offers a perfect mix of elegant ambience, flavorful modern Korean dishes, and attentive service. It was great dining experience!“

“Despite the cool atmosphere, good vibe, and enjoyable drinks, our experience was hindered by inattentive service. We waited at the bar for quite some time, trying to catch the eye of two different waiters, but were largely ignored. It was disappointing, especially given that they were pretty much right in front of us, backs turned, walking by and seemed to be doing everything possible to actually serve customers.

The shrimp were not very good given the price. The tuna tartar was excellent.“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“Beautifully prepared delicious food!!“

“We had a cute date night at this place, but it fell short of our expectations. We were excited after reading the glowing reviews, but the service was disappointing. Given the limited seating and the small number of guests, we expected more attention and guidance on the menu. However, the menu was not extensive, so we didn’t receive a comprehensive overview of the dishes.

Despite these shortcomings, the food was delicious. Each dish was unique, and the flavors and presentation were perfect. This is a seafood restaurant, so be prepared for a variety of dishes, some of which are served raw.

overall, we would rate a four out of five given the shortcomings in the service.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“Loved this place, coming back to NYC just for this restaurant!“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“excellent, sat at bar, impressive food, look forward to returning“

“We ordered 2 shrimp burgers, cocktails, tartare and bread and butter. The cocktails are great! The quality is very good. The shrimp burgers aren't bad either. Not exactly wow, but good enough. But for an aperitif, the bread and butter should be improved a little... the bread should be a soft white baguette, crispy, and the butter should have pieces of salt. Instead, gray bread with barely salted butter. If this point had been changed, the rating would have been 5. But despite this, the dinner was good! We will definitely come back again ♥️“

“The flavors were great and will be back next time. Any food lovers out there?“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“Grilled Branzino, Mushroom Pad Cha, Seafood sous Padang, Crying Tiger, Tom Yum fried rice

All absolutely delicious, each authentic and rich in flavor, literally could not put my utensils down; the depth and variety of flavor between each dish was immaculately prepared“

“Amazing food with great prices. This was one of the best meals I had in NYC and I left very happy.

The place is nice and the food is authentic Egyptian food.

Service is very friendly, only minor things is the water, I wish it was served from the beginning and that we did not have to always ask for it!

Apart from this, this place is outstanding and 100% recommended.“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“I've had the privilege to dine in many amazing restaurants around the globe and even privately in the kitchen of some famous chefs. I can say with absolute authority that this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Absolutely amazing from first bite to last! Make sure to opt-in for the savory beignet as well. It was superlative. I'll be envious of anyone getting to dine here until I have a chance to come back again!“

“Just went here with my mom and it was great. We got the tuna tartare as an appetizer and it was sooooo good and fresh 🤤🤤. For entrees she got their clam pasta and loved it, and I got their special scallops which were super tasty!! It was a little noisy but personally I didn’t really care. Overall great service and the food was delicious!!! (They also gave us some free pound cake at the end which was nice)“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints.
Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“"Outstanding food and presentation. The service was fantastic, especially from the hostess“

“Amazing service and oysters!!“

“Nice food and great place to dine in“

“Rebecca's is one of the best servers I've ever seen.“

“We ordered the corn fritters and lunch entres. We got appetizers from ordering the lunch menu, and got vegetable soup and spring rolls. Everything was very yummy, the corn fritters are crispy and delicious. The pad thai, pad see ew was good. Thank you!! Will come back again“

“Ilis was highly recommended to us by a friend who is a chef, after we asked about suggestions on restaurants in New York that truly push boundaries. It did not disappoint. While we are quite familiar with the concept of radical local sourcing and seasonal cooking organised by colder and warmer days, (yes, days not months), Ilis still managed to surprise us. We opted for the market menu, which is tailored to the ingredients available on that very day, and were treated to an additional dish. Each course was impeccably well prepared and presented effortlessly, and fun! The natural taste of the ingredients was allowed to shine, offering the rare opportunity to unspoil your palate and rediscover how herbs, vegetables, and meat/fish taste on their own, when not suffocated in fat, sugar, and spices. This, we believe, is the key to the success of Ilis and its chef Mads Refslund: being able to keep the dishes almost naked while never loosing the culinary direction. An absolute standout was the extra dish: raw tuna scraped from the dorsal fin spine, followed by the other side grilled with sesame. It was nothing short of a feast! Another memorable feature is Ilis' book of ingredients, which you can browse through between courses. It offers insight into their sourcing, philosophy, food preferences, and quirks (giggle). Lastly, the open kitchen is from another orbit, with its wood-fired charcoal oven, open barbecues, and dedicated adjacent fish and meat smoking stations. We could rave on and on about it. Very special place, which easily deserves six stars.“

“I had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“Service was outstanding. Oysters🦪 were fresh, some of the best I've had in the world. Lobster tail 🦞 was dry and difficult to eat. The sauce was tasty but the meat was mediocre. Draft selection was great. Will be back for the friendly service.“

“Best Latin fusion joint in South Brooklyn“

“Memorable meal! Went with a larger group so ordered almost everything on the menu. Every dish was really good, a few were truly incredible (the chicken was up there with the best I've ever had). Good vibes & service. Spacious. With drinks expect $200 person, but we were all stuffed. Highly recommend!“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“Loved this place!!! Highly recommended!!!!“
