Service was slow bartender barely acknowledged the two other patrons including myself. He finally said something but said he was backed up. Drink had barely any liquor in it. I give it one more shot but it was a no go for me this night. Atmosphere and vibe was good.

Really fresh poke with a lot of sides and vegetables! Price is a lil high but for a beach in NYC, also very fair. The location and seating is great and also there’s usually a DJ.

Slightly off the beaten path from the beach, back close to the train. Good way to start or end your beach day excursion.

While biking along the beach with my son, we got hungry and were heading toward Subway — he wasn’t sure we could find anything tastier or healthier nearby. That’s when we spotted this cozy little sushi café-bar. We decided to take a chance — and wow, what a discovery!

We sat outside to keep an eye on our bikes and picked a few items at random: gyoza, a poke bowl, a roll, and French fries. And honestly, everything exceeded our expectations — fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying.

Let me take a moment to rave about the fries — they were pure perfection: crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy fries anywhere else after this. I swear, they’ve either got a secret seasoning… or a bit of kitchen magic going on.

The poke bowl was beautifully balanced and fresh. Instead of the usual beans, it had green peas — I usually prefer beans, but I suspect they were out and made a thoughtful substitution. It still worked!

A special shoutout to the staff: even though we didn’t order drinks, they brought us cold water with ice on a hot day — a simple gesture that made a big difference.

I’m definitely coming back with my whole family. If you’re in the area — don’t pass this place by. It’s a hidden gem that knows how to make you feel welcome and well-fed.

Food and drinks were totally fine, atmosphere solid but service was super slow. We eventually left because no one ever came back to our table to ask if we wanted anything else. We walked up to the bar for the check.

I love the food and drinks here. I sorely miss the wings and tacos but whatever.
Big ups to Miles for keeping his cool during a severe slam. His kindness and elegance are truly appreciated.

Felt absolutely scammed after ordering the Tuna Tower. $25 dollars for an actual tower of rice. Do better

Terrible service. We ordered drinks and waited 20 minutes to order food before looking for servers that were literally nowhere to be found. Consulted four other tables who said they were waiting 45 minutes to order.

I ordered an arnold palmer and they gave me a lemonade seltzer which they proceeded to charge the arnold palmer price for.

Needless to say, we left. The team failed this business today!

Great and friendly bar, friendly staff and very interesting interior

This place is an absolute gem and I almost don't want to give it away but I'm not a gatekeeper 🌉 My friend left her beach chair here (that was my first visit) and so I went back the next day to get it. And I stayed, because the food was so delicious and well-priced and the staff so welcoming and attentive the day before - and wouldn't you know it, I ordered different food and had different servers and it was all still glorious
And again, priced super well, which means you can leave a really great tip because the staff is awesome and STILL not break the bank.
Great to share with friends, great to eat alone (recommend doing so at the bar), and the vegetarian options looked so good I have to try them next time (but when I ask for a menu choice opinion and I get as enthusiastic of a response about an item, I take it - so yeah for sure get the pork belly bao)

A small, no-frills Tiki bar with great vibes! Tasty food, solid drinks, and a super relaxed atmosphere. Perfect spot to warm up and refuel after a cold plunge with the New York Dippers Club. Friendly service and a fun, laid-back vibe – we’ll definitely be back!
