Restaurants in Rego Park

“I've never written a review before but after ordering from Knish Nosh, I had to. I've never in my life tasted such amazing food like this and to be honest I'm very critical and hard to please when it comes to food so like always I was waiting to either be let down or not that impressed but I was shocked I live in the City and I order from these guys 2 sometimes 3 times a week. I'm trying to get in touch with the owner, I'm willing to invest in Knish Nosh opening in the City! Simone E”

“I’ve been coming to Champions Pizza at rego park for a while now, and it never disappoints! I usually don’t have fav spots but this one might make the list! My go-to order is always the Margherita pizza, and it’s never let me down. Everything tastes fresh, the slices are always hot, and the crust is so good. The staff is always very kind, quick, & friendly!”

“One of the best restaurant experiences I've had! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly and tasted amazing.
What really stood out was the customer service. The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and welcoming from the moment we arrived until we left. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers.
Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful food and outstanding service. Everything was excellent — the food, the atmosphere, and especially the people. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great experience!”

“Good pizza and stuff is friendly”

“very tasty. great price. great staff.”

“I came all the way from Long Island to Rego Park, and while passing through I spotted this hot dog truck and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The hot dogs were AMAZING. I ordered the chili cheese dog with onions and mustard, along with a sauerkraut dog with mustard, and both were absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! 🌭😊”

“Food was delicious, the people and service was excellent. ❤️❤️❤️”

“Got Thai pepper stake, chicken with cashew nut, tempura roll, tom yum soup, duck salad and tonkatsu Ramen. They are all good. Actually i would say it's balanced between 2 worlds. It's flavorful enough to satisfied our asian taste but not overpowered like old schools foods so it's suitable for people of all ethic background. Example their duck salad is my wife favorite. It included avocado which normally are not in thai duck salad but somehow they make it work really well. She also praised the tonkatsu Ramen. She said it's tasty and delicious. My favorite is Thai pepper stake. When they brought out , my wife said oh I can smell aroma of spiciness, I think it's gonna be spicy and hot. It wasn't and it was pleasantly delicious. Just right amount of kick and sweetness. The service is really well too. the young lady named Muu took care of us and she was very polite and caring. Excellent service. The restaurant is Very well priced also. You get a lot of bang for your bucks. Overall very satisfied. We will definitely going back again and again”

“Went out for an early dinner with the kids and family. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the service! The young male servers were so kind to my son who 8, very patients and lovely! The food was presented very nice. Tastes really good and fresh! Would definitely be going back! Thank you!”

“I stumbled across this place after reading something online. Up until my visit, I had never had any food from Uzbekistan and that needed to change!

Because Austin Street is interrupted near this location getting here, or away from here, can be a little tricky. It's no big deal, but I wanted to mention it. Just follow GPS and grab any open parking spot when you get close. If taking the subway, it's a few short blocks from Queens Boulevard.

I arrived after 1pm, so I went with the Samsa's. They usually have lamb, beef, and pumpkin, but they were out of lamb. I tried a pumpkin ($3) and beef ($5) and both were very good. Neither was piping hot, but instead warm. The pumpkin had a hint of sweetness while the beef was savory. They both were more moist than I expected.

This is a bakery, not a cafe. As others have stated, it's a retail storefront, there isn't any seating. The gentleman who rang me up offered me a seat on a chair in the corner, which I was happy to take.

I picked up two more of each to take home, but I'm pretty sure eating them fresh is better. I think a microwave oven will ruin some of the flakiness of the pastry.

When I was there, all of the sweet baked goods were brought in from other kosher bakeries.

I'm looking forward to returning and trying the lamb and hopefully something else that's made on premises.”

“The service is really fast and the employees are really nice. I really like getting the strawberry banana smoothie. It’s a favorite of mine and I always get it when I stop by here.”

“Great location!! The food is always nice and warm. Well prepared and the service is very fast. The workers are very polite and friendly, i recommend this location if you want to come in sit to enjoy your food :).”

“Fabulosa atención increíble la comida deliciosa unas langostas frescas y bien preparadas etc etc muy bueno!!”

“Good cocking makes it good food to eat. Thums up. keep up the great service.”

“This bar/restaurant is the best. Great drinks. Great food. Great people!! Do not miss Lime & Salt!!”

“Their onigiris are delicious! I especially love the tuna onigiri. I can definitely say that these are some of the best onigiris I’ve ever had. They’re also very generous in size and reasonably priced.”

“Our go-to spot for Szechuan style Chinese food. We used to eat here frequently when we lived in the neighborhood. Now, we stop there whenever we're nearby. Food has always been delicious. I can't find them on GrubHub, unfortunately, because they are the best Chinese food anywhere near us.

It's family owned and we've seen them grow over the years. Very friendly, great service.”

“I love this spot for Pho. The portion, the taste, and atmosphere inside the place are very balanced that you would like to go there again and again. For those who love Vietnamese food, I would recommend this place.”

“Amazing service and awesome food”

“Avellino’s is more than just a restaurant — it’s a part of my story. It’s the backdrop to some of my most cherished childhood memories: sitting at the corner table with a cheese pizza and a Snapple, watching in awe as the owners spun dough high into the air, shaping it with effortless grace. Birthday parties, small victories, everyday moments — they all seemed to orbit around that warm, familiar space. Today, July 10th, 2025, marked something extraordinary: over 30 years since my family and I last stepped through those doors. I’m 41 now — a far cry from the 15-year-old girl who once called this place her second home. And yet, the moment I returned, it all came flooding back. The same faces, the same warmth. The owners, still so kind, took a moment to walk down memory lane with me — flipping through photos, laughing about the little curly-haired girl who practically grew up there. What they may not realize is that they left a lasting imprint on my life. Their kindness, the comfort of that corner table, the joy of the food — it all shaped me in ways words can barely touch. Avellino’s, thank you. Thank you for being a constant in a world that changes too fast. You’ll always be a part of me, and I’ll never, ever forget you. P.S. — Still the best pizza I’ve ever had”

“I had guests visiting from out of state, so we decided to check out the local restaurants. We ordered fried dumplings, lagman, chicken kebab, avocado salad, home-made bread, and a pot of tea. It was insanely delicious—we ate until we were stuffed. And we paid just $40 for dinner for the three of us! In the reviews, people say they’ve been coming here for years. Looks like this is now my favorite spot, too.”

“My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner on a weeknight. The food was incredible! We started with the Pumpkin Samsa. Savory and delicious! The dough was nice and flaky and you can tell its fresh. Then we tried the Traditional Plov. The meat which tasted like short rib was so flavorful and came apart easily. The rice was so delicious. We also shared a Manty. I never tried Uzbek Manty and it was amazing! It reminded me of soup dumplings. The broth was light and tasty. We even bought some fresh Tandoori bread to eat at home and and extra samsa! We can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes! The prices was great for the portions. Dana who worked there, was really helpful answering our questions and guiding us through the menu.”

“Hello 👋 I have also been coming here since I was a teenager. The kitchen is always very clean and the food is also very good quality tender steak and real chicken. I always get the steak burrito or combo lunch platter. Prices are affordable and very friendly husband and wife family run restaurant. Its way better than taco bell 🔔 in my opinion you cant really compare this place to a fast food chain but if your looking for fresh good tasting food this is a good choice.”

“I order from here for so many years and food is so delicious ik the owner very kind person
Whenever I call when I say 62-10 99st boom the owner knows me
The pizza burgers everything is so nice always receiving warm it’s so delicious
The best pizza in Queens and best Burgers
I recommend you always 100%”

“Holy cow what an amazing space.
I got called for a gig and the ride left me by the time I got out here to Rego Park.

It still smelled like Sizzler's and like the Tom and Jerry cartoon something led me here. (IYKYK)

I only had a beer and a shot but this menu and everything I saw coming out the kitchen looked AMAZING 🤤😋

4 touchdowns and extra points worth of wing flavors and Jets are 0-0 and went +1.

Got a shout-out on 9/11 with Brunson 🤯

I am in heaven here.

Like Jordan in the 23, that many years here, means they've been doing this right the whole time.

Definitely on my top 5 spots in all 5 Boroughs from the first impression.

Carry yourself with grace and enjoy this wonderful space. Thank you Gary and the staff for all of your service for the community.

Such a blessing for this community.
Come support!”

“This is the BEST Chinese food in the area hands down. Everything is always fresh and tasty. Wonton soup, sweet & sour chicken, chicken w/mixed vegetables, chicken wings, egg rolls, scallion pancakes, fried rice… everything is delicious.”

“Food is very delicious, customer service is top of the line. I had a party here and I definitely will come back and do it here because of how those guys took care of me. Highly recommend!”

“I’ve been eating here for years I’ve never had a single complaint BEST breakfast in the area the staff is amazing even the delivery drivers have great attitudes and energy”

“Always tasty and satisfying - excellent prompt, friendly delivery by Mr. Oil!”

“It was so good. The portions were really large, and it was fairly inexpensive.”

“The food from this place was so good. What made my experience here especially good is the lovely lady at the front named Viola. Viola made me feel welcome and not judged for ordering the entire menu and acting big”

“Great Fabulous Nice amazing Elegant”

“I love stopping by this neighborhood corner store for everyday necessities. The exceptional customer service and welcoming atmosphere reflect the heart of a true community space.

I was especially delighted to discover kabocha squash—an unexpected little treasure! The one I purchased was fresh and delicious. I appreciate how this store brings convenience, nourishment, and a touch of discovery to the neighborhood.”

“Best food in forest hills area love it. Guys are always smiling and the place is very clean all the time.”

“Pretty good sashimi and sushi for this area. Raw bar is actually very fresh. Prices are very reasonable. Place is clean but definitely needs a refresh or some kind of renovation as the place is looking old.”

“What an experience! Always a great one. Pen and the staff are always courteous, knowledgable, and kind. The food always speaks for itself and it never misses. Amazing every time! The Shrimp and Crab legs are always our go to with the side of garlic bread. The Oceanic Boil Sauce + Garlic Butter mixed in with potatoes and corn is absolutely fantastic. A staple of ours in the neighborhood and always a must visit.”

“Well I can't say about the atmosphere because it was a delivery, but the rest of the order was very fast and the food was very, very good ? ? I was left speechless I ordered a lo mein and a fried rice special and some excellent fried wontons ?”

“This review was originally a 2☆ review, but has been updated to a 3☆ review. Both versions were based on visits throughout March - May 2024. This current updated review gives a 4☆ in April 2026, based on visits since October 2025.

It is small & a little cramped, but it is clean & the service is polite & friendly. It is a relatively popular place.
The meals have improved significantly in quality & taste, the combo platters are a good buy! The bubble teas are as well for the variety in flavors (for a non boba place that is also an independent mom & pop shop) & reasonable sizes. I have tried only a few of the pastries; but the pineapple buns are decent in taste & price, generous in size (could have more filling tho), & it seems the muffins are popular, hoping to try one myself!”

“Great guys however they have to upgrade their game since 2011 same thing even quality went down a lot however they are really good people and so many memories from this cart”

“I came in to get the Dragon Ball meal and price was great for the amount of food. The super saiyan lemonade is great and the popping boba gives it an amazing flavor. Staff is very nice and Dayhonara (I might have mistaken the spelling) was an amazing and friendly employee. Service is on point. Will come again.”

“Wings are still great, cocktails still the best. Glad to celebrate with the family. Glad the consistency was still fantastic as always.”

“Love this restaurant. The food is always delicious and the portions are huge. Very worth it. They don’t take reservations but it’s worth the wait.”
