Izakaya Restaurants near Queens, NY

“Good food and good service 👍“

“Great ramen and tempura. Very friendly staff and good sake.“

“Best food I've had in some time! I really recommend this place. Nice relaxed atmosphere and the staff (Sophia in particular) is truly nice and helpful. We had the best papaya salad, and an AMAZING Tom Kha soup. The other dishes were great too, and we were surprised by the large portions. We even had a dish boxed because we couldn't finish it all (and we eat a lot). Definitely coming back.“

“Loved everything we had - karaage, tempura, chashudon and gyudon. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked well. The chashu had amazing flavor, and the rice was so good. I haven’t had well-cooked rice in a very, very long time. It was quite special!“

“Our dinner at Minato was amazing! I was truly impressed by the ambience and serenity of the garden area, with beautiful lighting and a fountain. The staff was incredibly kind and informative as they fielded all of our questions, and even were open to adjusting our order based on our preferences.

Highly recommend the assorted fish flight and salmon flight, and the teas which came in beautiful pots!!“

“Food is amazing every time“
