“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!“

I want to give my highest praise and congratulations to Fifth Hammer Brewing Company, a truly exceptional place that stands out not only for the quality of its craft beers but also for the attention to detail in its atmosphere. Owner Chris Cuzme has shown great vision and dedication in creating a welcoming, modern, and perfectly maintained space where every visitor feels at home from the very first moment.
Chris, I want to personally congratulate you and your beautiful family. I had the chance to see you working with dedication while also taking the time to lovingly care for your beautiful daughter — a true reflection of the big heart and commitment you have, both to your business and to your family.
I also want to highlight the wonderful work of Liz, the bartender, whose kindness, professionalism, and personalized attention make the experience even more memorable. Her service is impeccable, and she is always attentive to making sure everything is perfect for the guests.
I can’t forget to mention how spotless the entire place is — from the common areas to the restrooms, which are always clean and well maintained. This speaks volumes about the serious commitment you all have to hygiene and the comfort of your visitors.
Without a doubt, Fifth Hammer Brewing Company is an example of excellence in every sense, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for quality, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. Congratulations to the entire team for maintaining such a high standard!“

“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“

“We had an amazing dinner here after stopping in to the nearby sculpture museum (also very cool). Good frozen cocktails, fantastic tacos and everyone on staff was kind, accommodating and quick! They had little hats for the kids which were so cute, and strong AC inside. Great place for a summer dinner out!“

“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.“

“my annual visits to new york always include one trip to tadka indian. connected to a banquet hall, tadka is divided by a wall to five star banquet which often hosts festivities such as weddings. the restaurant portion maintained the fancy feel of the banquet hall, with white tablecloth and nicely dressed waiters. the food is celebration worthy. my family is loyal to our respective orders: butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and palek paneer. rice and naan go very well with all of it. i wish id taken a picture of the food, but my hunger beat me to it. so instead, here is a photo of the atmosphere that i only came around to taking after our complimentary rice pudding. all together, dinner was delightful and i can’t wait to visit new york again, knowing tadka will be on the itinerary.“

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.“

“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!“

“😀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.“
“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!“

“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!!“

“This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in all of NY. It’s got a cozy feel even with the spacious backyard. It’s the kind of place you go to catch up with friends or celebrate a special occasion. The servers are all wonderful and the food is consistently DELICIOUS. The limoncello at the end is such a nice touch. I love this place. It is worth the trek to Sunnyside if you do not live close.“

“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.“

“Hi, I'm Trish,I live right up the block from Kate’s Corner Cafe. I have known her since she graced Astoria & Long Island City with delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches and omelet platters. Every time I go there, I order everything so mouthwatering that I want to order for three or four people. Very professional personalities are great there. Everyone who works there is exemplary. Kate is very down-to-earth, warmhearted, and friendly to everyone she needs. They get the orders done as soon as possible, especially for all of those working people that go there that have only so much time for lunch.Her business has expanded to one of the colleges in the area. Oh, to top it all, she does catering. Yes, did I tell you she also has a food truck? And to top it all, she does catering. She can do it all. If you want some excellent food in the area and beyond, please check them out.I go back repeatedly; thank you so much, Kate, for making great food for our area.Thank you for being a great friend!!!?????? ? ??“

“I came here for lunch on Saturday, 2025 July 12. I was the first customer so it was nice to enjoy my meal while sitting next to the window. I had the Kai Ra-Berd (Egg Bomb) with ground pork and an unsweetened iced Jasmine green tea for a drink. The Kai Ra-Berd was really delicious. I definitely recommend it. The Jasmine green tea was refreshing.“

“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“

“Wonderful vibe, and authentic ramen! That broth is very rich, the noodles are stretchy, the eggs are cooked perfectly, and the pork was tender! I left full and satisfied. I also got takoyaki, both items came out piping hot. I look forward to trying their other dishes.“
“Definitely a fun bar to hang out in and the staff was very personable. The drinks were decently priced and there were plenty of places to sit and space out between groups. The only drawback is the overly loud music at some points which can make conversation difficult.“

They were very accommodating to let me hang out a little longer since I was waiting for my car (I would have left if they were busy and needed the table of course). Nice place, thank you!“

“I ordered a mix over rice, and for starters it’s a great deal you get a drink and a filling plate for under $10. The lamb is pretty flavorful but not as much as the chicken, the hot sauce adds and pairs really well with the protein and rice while the green sauce gives it a fresh minty flavor. I’d say there are way better tasting food carts but it is 100% a bang for your buck. Be prepared to stand in a 10-15min line“

Vegetarian options: The sides and probably can opt out for it getting meat and do veggies rice and sauce. They use the same grill too but you can ask for them to clean it to avoid cross contamination“

“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 ?✨??“
