“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this cozy Korean spot, and I was immediately struck by its vibrant atmosphere. Despite being busy and crowded, it contributed positively to the overall experience, creating an energetic and authentic vibe.The restaurant boasts a compact menu, a refreshing change that made choosing what to eat a breeze, without the usual decision fatigue. A standout dish for me was the lotus salad – unfortunately, I didn’t snap a picture, but believe me, it’s a must-try. The salad was delightfully crispy, featuring a medley of flavors that danced on the palate.On the flip side, the pork cheek, while tantalizing in photos, fell short of expectations. It had a gamy taste that was off-putting, and the flavors, far from being bold, were disappointingly muted.The broth, however, was a high point. The beef broth was rich and flavorful, a real treat. We also tried the seafood baguette, which was a mixed bag. The bread, unfortunately, was not toasted, leaning towards the stale side, but the seafood filling itself was delicious.Dessert was another highlight – the sweet corn crème brûlée. It was an inventive take on a classic dessert, perfectly paired with white chocolate, making for a memorable end to our meal.Overall, this restaurant is a fantastic find. Despite a few hiccups, the quality of the dishes and the unique dining experience make it a place worth visiting.“

“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!“

“It is an amazing Southeast Asian restaurant with an elegant and comfortable environment, spacious enough for gatherings with friends and family. It also has a bar for couples to enjoy a drink. Every dish is incredibly authentic, reminds me of the happy times I spent in Thailand.?Spiced Corn RibsCorn Ribs are coated in a rich tamarind glaze that provides a sweet and tangy flavor, fresh cilantro sprinkled on top adds a burst of herbal freshness.The corn itself is naturally sweet and becomes crispy on the outside and soft on the inside after being flash-fried, presenting a satisfying chewiness.?Curry Pork RibsTwice-cooked ribs on the bone Mild Karee Curry, Seasoned with fragrant kaffir lime leaves, the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone. The curry flavor is very authentic, taking me on a culinary journey through Southeast Asia with each bite. Absolutely love it! ??eggyolk softshell crabThe outer layer is coated with a salty egg yolk sauce before frying, giving the softshell crab a thin and crispy shell. The flavor of the salty egg yolk is rich, complementing the tender and juicy meat inside. The taste is very unique and definitely worth trying.?Crying Tiger SteakGrilled 10oz ribeye steak marinated in Thai spices, served with Thai chimichurri sauce and crispy fingerlings, accompanied by Thai spicy sauce (Nam Jim Jeow), minced green onions, and fried garlic slices. This dish is absolutely mouthwatering and leaves a memorable aftertaste, making it a must-try. ??Drunken Noodles/ Pad Kee MaoThe wide rice noodles absorb the sauce and spices during stir-frying, while the beef is cooked to a crispy exterior and tender interior. This pairs perfectly with the crispness of the string beans and the fresh, spicy flavor of Thai basil. Absolutely love it!‼️?Pandan flanA Western-style dessert infused with the unique aroma of Southeast Asian pandan leaves. The flan has a smooth and delicate texture, soft and moist to the touch. I absolutely love the fresh scent brought by the pandan leaves! Its light green color, combined with the sweet flavor of caramel, creates a distinctive dessert that can only be found here!“

“Visited for the first time and completely loved this restaurant. Service was good but my hesitation to place the 5th star really was more about timing and the intuitive check back. Our main server was polite and did his best but they were busy. I'm sure had we been there with just a bit fewer covers that he and his runners would have impressed just as the food did. We did the Chefs taste option and it was delicious and I recommend they option just to be able to sample so much more of the menu. The chef has created a fantastic journey across their menu and it is was delicious.“

“I used to eat here when it was under a different name. After the recent renovation, I decided to try it again. The food, mostly mid-southern Chinese food from Zhejiang/Shanghai, was authentic and tasted good. One exception was the hot and sour soup, too salty. Service was good. New setting/decor is modern and trendy.“

“Incredibly phenomenal! I live a block away and Eyval has been on my list for over a year. My besties are in town and I finally obtained a reservation. We enjoyed everything even though we were wildly exhausted from a busy day. We had the whipped feta, cabbage & date salad, potatoes, scallops, lamb ribs, chicken entree. We loved everything we ordered including the drinks where we had red wine and the iced tea old fashioned. I live so close but it's so hard to get a table at Eyval. I wish they did to go orders!“

“Had a girls night here. 5 of us, outside table, drinks and dinner before going out on Saturday. Definitely make a reservation. Drinks were average price for WV - 18. They were all excellent tasting (see note below though). Service was great - sirloin sandwich was delicious and well priced. We were not rushed out and vibes were great. We had a great time and I will be back. Note to the restaurant -- the espresso martini was great BUT please change the design, the coffee grounds on the top were cute but they ruin the drink halfway through and get in your teeth.“

“Really good food, small interior but acoustics were such that we could all speak normally and hear each other. Variety of menu options. Only reason for 4 stars is we were informed that, despite being asked if we had any food allergies or dietary restrictions, there was no accommodation for any of the menu items. One in our party was vegan and the only menu option was brussel sprouts, despite many items being easily customized (no creme fraiche, no egg) to accommodate. It was quite disappointing. Overall would recommend if you have no dietary needs!“

“As per most of my other recent reviews, I went to this Southern spot several months back. We went here after they had unexpectedly gone on the best new restaurants list having barely heard about the restaurant otherwise. The lighting was nice here and the staff was friendly giving good recommendations. They have ample space as well. The spot has a fun creative cocktail menu which are reasonably priced with some drinks having rather humorous names. I went with the A Complex Cocktail For Bitter People for $15 which is their take on a Negroni with roots of ruin gin, saffron liqueur, and vermouth di torino bianco which was excellent. The cocktail had a nice presentation with the vivid off yellow and the flower and it had a nice balance of bitterness, citrus, and herbal flavors. This was excellent though not on the current drink menu. They also had the opposite named A Bitter Cocktail For Complex People which was their take on a Manhattan along with plenty of other choices. As per usual for food, we split a lot of dishes. For smaller plates, my favorite was the Country Fried Baby Back Ribs for $16 with dill & vinegar and jezebel sauce. This sauce in question contains fruit jelly and combined with the dill and vinegar; it was a nice mix of sour and sweet with very tender ribs which weren't too heavily fried. Excellent. Also tasty was the Hush Puppies for $10 with jalapeno, cheddar, popcorn, and remoulade. They were lighter than expected with a little kick and the popcorn was fun for presentation. I think the remoulade should be on this side and not presented on top but I guess it's more artful that way. OK was the Crab Cake for $24 listed as corn flake crusted with whole grain mustard, radish, and herb salad. It was a bit pricey and the flavors didn't pop as much as the other appetizers. The mustard was a fun spin but perhaps don't order this as this is probably one of the only overpriced things on the menu outside of perhaps the steak. We ordered two main dishes; the Roasted Rib Cap and the Crispy 1/2 Chicken which were both fine. The former for $42 with bourbon worcestershire caramel consisted of a very tender steak though maybe a bit small. The sauce indeed had some sweetness but there was a bit of salt on the steak so it was pretty well balanced. The latter dish for $26 with`bama white sauce and herbs was solid. Tender fried chicken with a fun presentation. No real major complaints though I am not exactly sure if it is half a chicken (probably is though.) The restaurant is also known for it's desserts so we got both to share which are both $12. Of the two, my preference was the Key Lime Tart with toasted coconut and candied lime zest. I haven't had many good key lime tarts in the city and this was excellent as it wasn't too sour or sweet. The candied lime zest on top as well as the coconut just added extra pizzazz. I almost found the latter Banana Pudding Tart with caramel and vanilla wafers to be a bit worse. It was well presented as per the other dessert and it was plenty rich but it was perhaps a bit too sweet with the amount of caramel they put on top. This is a fun spin on Southern food which isn't exactly a cuisine you find commonly enhanced. The desserts and appetizers were definitely better than the entrees but the entrees weren't too shabby either. Upper 3/low 4.“

“If you like great cocktails, good food and friendly service than look no further. Samoa street is your spot. Get the Shanghai buck you won’t regret it and try the major tom if you are looking for a new and interesting flavor. It’s rare that a cocktail bar has drinks with intriguing and new flavors to try. Samoa street executes on their drinks, food and ambience. Try it out you won’t regret.“

“i absolutely love this place. first time i came for dinner at around 7 and we got chef’s skewers, gyu don, and kimchi cream udon. my boyfriend and i loved our entrees but didnt really like the skewers that much. i think they were a little on the pricey side for 4 skewers and 1 being grilled peppers. we also had to wait a little bit around 10-20 mins? the second time, we came for lunch at around 12 and did not have to wait. we got gyudon and the nikomi hamburg tei. they were both good and came with a side of tofu and miso soup. the hamburger tei was a lOt though and i struggled to finish it :(( for lunch price tho it was worth it. will definitely be coming back !!“

“This spot is a treat! We originally headed to another local favorite, but it was so crowded, we ended up giving Chez Messy a try. I regret not coming here sooner.I had the Caesar salad with crusted bread, shared some bang bang shrimp, savored the Crema Catalina Brûlée, and topped it off with a glass of wine. I was amazed by the quality of both the food and service. It's the whole package here: fantastic food, cool tunes, great vibes, and even live flamenco to enjoy (maybe we will catch it next go round)!It didn't score a perfect five from me only because a few menu items we wanted to try were either unavailable or had been removed from the menu.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. This was our second time here and it has quickly become one of our goto places in Astoria. From the greeting at the door to the selection of great wine and cocktails- all unique because the are craft brews- to the staff answering our many questions about the very different and delicious menu to the quality of the food- an awesome experience. Last week we were there and enjoyed live jazz and the musicians mingled and talked with us. The decor is very comfortable. Looking forward to attending the special event nights, too. See you next week- if not before!!“

“I have to say that I was so pleasantly surprised at how great the service was at this very popular wine bar. We went in on a Friday night before seeing a play across the street. The staff could not have been nicer, very helpful with our selections and very professional. The manager even remembered us after we stopped back in after the play. The wine selections are nicely curated and the food is delicious. Will definitely stop back again.“

“Great atmosphere, and layout. There are quite a few seating areas: the front entrance has a few tables, there’s seating by the bar, before the patio and finally there’s a patio. It is stunning.My friend and I didn’t have a table which was fine because the garden area had amazing seating. Our bottle of rosé came up to $60 which was a bit pricey; would love if there was a free bite to have in addition to getting a bottle (like bread and olive oil or a biscuit).Overall, I would come back here. The food menu from what I noticed is very light, so plan accordingly.“

“I'm embarrassed to say but I have been working in DUMBO for 5 long years and haven't been to this place until today. Until now I thought, my only savior for lunch was sweetgreen below. LOL . My colleagues who been around for less than 6m discovered this place faster. Ouch! Ok anyway continuing, I ordered the tofu stir fry with noodles, requested for extra spicy and I'm still drooling at the thought of it. They were hot, they were hot and they were hot that including the taste and temperature. Also, ordered the vegan dumplings they were good, and could have been nicer.There's a sauce counter that includes the housemade chilli red sauce, green jalapeno sauce, and soy sauces to take with your to-go. The wait time for 2 items from ordering to packing was around 15mins. Interiors- The space is tight, with the kitchen occupying most of it, there's like bar seats arranged for a couple of indoor diners but there's this beautiful aroma that encapsulates you as soon as you enter, which is what struck me the most. I still remember it 24 hours later! Their beverages seemed exciting, will be trying it out once. Price-wise - it is steep, I mean $18 for the noodle for one meal with $6dumplings is expensive if I had to come everyday! But anything local is as expensive, I might as well spend for the flavor. I will be returning to try out more from their menu.“

Our waiter, Rob, was both incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and incredibly funny the entire night! Plus, we had a birthday in our party and the chocolate writing is quite possibly the most precise and beautiful food writing I have witnessed. I think it speaks somewhat to the expertise in their kitchen.“

“I was under the impression Masquerade opened under a year ago, I was wrong. They've been open for about two years and somehow I've only heard about them recently. Nestled under the J with an unassuming storefront, find Masquerade. Consider this your notice to get over to Masquerade and basque in the Iranian delights that they're serving up. Everything we ate and drank was great - big flavors and they not too shabby on the creativity level either. Here's what we got for a party of two; we shared everything and it was the perfect amount. Drink Rosewater Negroni Saffron Old Fashioned Thief of Ceremonies x2 (one with tequila, one with gin) Eat Kashk e Bademjoon Mast o Moosir Feta Herb Barbari Toast Skirt Steak Beans & Mushrooms Dessert Cardamom Cake There you have it.
