“Great food , quaint and lovely. Home made pasta , service is wonderful. A gem in queens !!”

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!”

“I am the UK I love going to this pub and lovely bar staff so looking to be back there soon.”

“Zhumi is a hidden gem. This small unsuspecting storefront in Whitestone revealed itself to be a welcoming environment for superb homemade Mexican food. I highly suggest the tacos and mulitas done with handmade tortillas. Everything we tried was delicious, down to the flan and horchata. Family operation. Everyone was very kind. Great service. Definitely check it out!”

“Great food. It was delicious and very tasty. Great service . Price was reasonable. They gives you good amount of food. we just celebrated a birth day there. i tell the world about this place”

“Walked in and there was soft music playing.

I remember there used to be a Papa’s chicken in Midwood years ago and so I decided to try this.

The man who took my order was very fast. Very efficient.

I ordered the Combo 1 with the Spicy chicken sandwich, spicy wings and french fries along with a water. Total cost was 13:05 paid with credit.

I ate the spicy chicken sandwich there and it was so GOOD. And very fulfilling. Couldn’t even eat the wings and fries. Later had them and wings were good. Fries were ok.

There’s 3-4 tables and they had the ac on which was nice. It was a hot day. Too hot. As I was eating started feeling hot again.

I sat down after giving the order and saw that the tables could use a clean. Floor needed a clean too.

There was a Mexican station / restaurant inside this restaurant as well.

Also - no bathroom. Not cool for me but food was good.

Overall I would come again.

8.5/10 Very nice.”

“The gelato here tastes AMAZING! The staff is really nice, and you can sample flavors. I ordered the super big size which isn’t big to me with the raspberry cheesecake, Reese’s, and deep chocolate gelatos. They were all delicious, but the deep chocolate was by far the best! The deep chocolate gelato was the best chocolate gelato I’ve ever had thus far! Potions are very small so I recommend ordering the largest size. I highly recommend Chillato in Whitestone!”

“Came here for dinner with my mom, we were both craving burgers… we passed this place in the village just last week—it looked new, so we decided to give it a try. We both ordered the California burger. It was delicious! Full of flavor, cooked to perfection, they even give you sauce on the side. The fries were great too, perfectly seasoned. The ambiance inside the restaurant is also very nice. We will be back, thank you!”

“Absolutely obsessed with this place! One of my favorite options in Whitestone. I haven't tried much bc once I find a fav I stuck w it. I always get the yellow curry over black rice. It's truly guilt free indulgence! Their Thai mint salad is also delicious if you crave something lighter.”

“Anna and Jing are the best! BLT is my sandwich of choice. The bacon aroma as you enter the store stirs up your appetite. Hard working ladies run this business. Delicious sandwiches.”

“The ladies in the morning are always pleasant. My mobile orders are 99% correct and everything is made on time. No complaints.
If I was someone that wanted to sit and stay in a dunkin for a few hours this one has limited seating and is rather small so I'd go to a different one (There's one a block a away and one in the village). Parking can be rough at times.”

“such good food and atmosphere”

“My friends and I stopped by to order a pie, and were met with really friendly staff! They added a lot of toppings to our pizza which was such a bonus. The pizza tasted great, and we would definitely recommend this place!”

“On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to Empire Kitchen for their ongoing generosity and support of our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. Once again, they donated their delicious vegetable lo mein, which has become a beloved favorite at our event.

The lo mein was perfectly prepared—tender noodles tossed with fresh, crisp vegetables in a savory sauce that was both light and full of flavor. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and this year was no exception. Our guests eagerly enjoyed every bite, and many commented on how much they look forward to Empire Kitchen’s contribution each year.

We deeply appreciate Empire Kitchen’s continued commitment to giving back to the community. It’s because of dedicated local businesses like theirs that we can raise essential funds to support women across New York. Their reliable support makes a meaningful difference, and it’s why we’re proud to highlight and recommend them.

Thank you, Empire Kitchen, for your kindness, consistency, and outstanding food. We’re already looking forward to next year!”

“Greatest pizza in NYC! Freddy and Mike are amazing 🤩 we’re so coming back 🤤 The Smiths (garlic knots are delicious!!)”

“I had a great experience at Shake ’N Swirl. My daughter absolutely loves this place, and it’s quickly become one of our favorites.

The prices are very affordable, especially for the quality and variety they offer. The place is clean, well organized, and has a fun, colorful atmosphere that makes it enjoyable for families.

The service was excellent—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You can tell they care about their customers.

Another big plus is the parking—there’s plenty of space, and it’s very easy to access the location.

Overall, a great spot for ice cream and treats. Highly recommend, especially if you’re going with kids!”

“Lenny’s is my favorite deli in Whitestone! The service and food are excellent! Highly recommend! Shout out to Lisa, who is like a sunshine whenever you walk in! She greets you with a warm smile, is very friendly and such a nice person!”

“Just eat the pizza! Sooooo good!”

“I went out for lunch and found it to be a good choice. The food had excellent flavor, with well-seasoned dishes, and the service was swift, ensuring I was served promptly. This spot will definitely become a new favorite for our lunch breaks. I highly recommend trying the potato salad, which is creamy and flavorful, and the pernil (slow-roasted pork shoulder) that is tender and juicy.”

“great sushi and great service”

“I just moved back to Flushing and am looking forward to visiting Patsy's! My friends love it!”

“Tradition for us to get buy one get one sundaes on Wednesday! A staple in our community and a go-to spot for ice cream cake. Nice that they have parking in the back too”

“Peggy knows how to pick great places to eat!”

“Cherry Valley Deli & Grill in Whitestone is a true gem! After visiting several times, I can say their insanely large selection of heroes and sandwiches is unmatched. They’ve got all the classics plus some wild, creative combinations that somehow all work—and taste amazing. From the Con Ed hero to the FDNY, everything has been spot-on, and the best part is they’ll let you customize your order just how you like it. Always a delicious experience!”

“I don’t know about you, but I know that this place is a hidden gem that is in a plaza! The pizza here is really good and it’s really fresh, the pepperoni slice has a great undercarriage and the spinach mushroom slice has a lot of ingredients in it! These are old-school Italian slices old-school pizza shops with those booth seating that really nostalgic! Both my slices plus a drink was less than $10! You really can’t find this anymore anywhere with such quality! Definitely go and give them some business! I came on a Monday at 3:30 and there were a few people! Don’t let the reviews here scare you! It’s good here!”
