“I had two mediocre beers here. A Banana Pale ale they should remove from the menu, and a brown ale that was good. The brewery is fine, and I'm sure there's something good on tap, but I didn't find it.”
“We went for Thanksgiving, not expecting much. Understanding they would be busy at 7pm, we decided to take our chances and walk in. Super friendly service. We got a welcome eggnog, brilliantly cooked 3 course price fix menu, great service. There were some hiccups (soup came out crazy fast, while the drinks took the normal time. A little odd) loved that they had a kobe steak as arn option, very moist turkey too. Pumpkin creme bruleee was tasty-not too "pumpkiny". They even have us a free champagne with dessert. Really worth it”
“Walked in to order for takeaway. Perhaps it being a weekday, was served quickly. We enjoyed the spicy chicken, it’s an excellent supplement to our home cook meal. Will definitely patronise again ?”
“My husband and I have eaten here twice: both times we’ve enjoyed delicious pizza, pasta, wine, coffee, and desserts. The staff are attentive and kind without hovering. Most recently, a couple and their young son were having dinner too. Beebe’s is a great choice for so many different people and families.”

“I was in New York City to visit my parents in January 2024. Obviously, I then had to meet up with close friends that I don't normally get to see every day. One of my foodie friends and I decided to meet up. We always try to go to a new place that we both haven't tried - and we ended up here at Suzuki Shokudo. I tried the following: - Takoyaki (Octopus Balls) - Salmon Chirashi Dinner - Uni Sashimi My friend ordered an entree and also tried their Blue Fin Tuna. All of the food was delicious and super fresh. Service, food, and ambiance were authentically Japanese! Definitely worth a trip if you're in the Long Island City / Queens area. My friend ordered extra food for dinner for her boyfriend. My friend and her boyfriend went back to eat there a week later. NOM NOM NOM. ENJOY!!”
“An incredible place with wonderful staff & artists where everyone is welcome and all kind of art forms and entertainment is possible from summer outdoor concerts to late night events, there is always something special for everyone!”
“Great place. The staff is awesome and are very attentive. Drinks and food were fantastic. Was our first time there and I’ll definitely be back.”

“Definitely the best cocktail bar in Astoria at this moment. Best place for a friend gathering or a date. The few places in Astoria where you can talk to someone without shouting over the music, while still having privacy with the volume level.The vibes, the exceptional service that you can’t really find anywhere, my group of 6 friends were accommodated last minute no problem. Rare find. Recommend to anyone looking for an intimate place in this area. Great bar selection!”

“Lemak Kitchen is a ghost kitchen, serving the most incredible Malay food from a warehouse space on the outskirts of LIC.The exceptional food is well seasoned with generous portions. I had a seafood curry, which had shrimp, clams, mussels, and tofu, two kinds of egg noodles, and bean sprouts in an overflowing bowl of awesome. The curry was mildly spicy. Only complaint was that the noodles were under salted, which is so very minor. Everything was packed very well, surviving a subway ride with no mishaps.The weird: Lemak is located in the industrial section of town. There is no retail and if you're walking alone, you may be uncomfortable. When you get to the loading dock, which is thankfully well labeled, you have to walk down a long hallway with automatic lighting to find the kitchen. There's no seating, no restroom, no ADA compliance. The tasty is reserved only for the brave of heart and utmost devotees of deliciousness.The cook tonight (Salama?) was very kind, and had my order completed in 15 minutes even though the website said 40 minutes. Yay!”
“Just the absolute best customer service. The winter storm delayed my delivery for 12/23. UPS was saying the delivery was changed to 12/27!!They reached out to UPS to arrange Saturday delivery. Christmas was saved!!”
“This is hands down my favorite Chinese food spot in all of Astoria!! I swear by their Chicken Lo Mein and the egg rolls are always perfectly crispy! I order from here like twice a week tbh. Genuinely love this place.”
“Me encanto el lugar y la atención no se diga fue lo mejor”
“Have had many wonderful experiences at this place. Food is phenomenal, and the drinks are very good. i order the Tonkotsu Ramen with a Mint yuzu (i think that's the name) and it never fails to fulfill me and my family. Amazing service, they are such nice people and they always try their best to make the customer experience the best it can be. Absolute gem of a location”
“Ordered: Bolani Kachalu (~$6): fried thin pocket of dough filled with potatoes, sweet onions, cilantro, leek and various spices Mixed Afghan Kabab (~$24): beef kofta, chicken breast kabab and lamb kabab on a single skewer with rice; carrots and raisins added (+$2) Chicken Korma Chalao (~$18): Afghan style chicken stew with rice; carrots and raisins added (+$2) Aya's take: I love Afghan food and have been to Sami's Astoria location many times; we were in the area and decided to check out the LIC location. Off the bat, it's much smaller (6-8 tables) and is more meant for takeout orders. The menus are similar, if not exactly the same. We started off with the Bolani Kachalu which was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned nicely. The menu says this is "served with our homemade garlic mint yogurt sauce" which we didn't receive. The Mixed Afghan Kabab is my go-to whenever I'm here. The chicken kabab and beef kofta were delicious - super tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The lamb kabab was a bit tougher and lacked flavor. The portion of rice was also drastically less than the Astoria location. I never had the Chicken Korma Chalao before but it was a great warm dish to have on a cold day. The stew was made with tomatoes and onions, and the chicken was falling apart - unbelievably tender! What I didn't appreciate is that there is a 20% tip added automatically for parties of 2 or more. I would understand if this was a rule for large parties or if our waiter checked on us which he didn't aside from bringing us the food. I think they should reconsider this added fee or limit it to large parties. This review should be a 3.5, but I'll go with a 4 considering it was still a decent meal but I wouldn't come back to this location.”
“A fun spot in Sunnyside, especially on Friday Nights. If you're like me and you're a trivia fan, this is your place on Fridays at 8pm (grab a seat early, cause it gets busy if you want to be in the front). The trivia is fun, staff is pretty on top of things, and its all good drinks and vibes. I haven't had the food here so I can't say much to that, but the general vibe here is fun and I look forward to coming back. I've passed by this bar a few times and see Drag Queens in there so I assume they have some Drag comedy nights here, which sound like fun to me!”

“Known on google now as "Antojito's," this is the REAL DEAL. Tastes just like food made in Colombia, and the portions size match (in Colombia serving are hefty, as they should be!) so it's win-win here. The service is quick and will encourage you to come back. I know I'll be back soon!”
“I have been grabbing omelets, subs, and quesadillas her for over 4 years. The staff is always so nice and the food is solid and always prepared so quickly. And reasonably priced!!! As expensive coffee and breakfast places have come and gone while I’ve lived here, this place has always been my go-to for quick and simple. I completely disagree with the bad reviews!”
“i want to update my january 2023 review,i want to list the names of the workers that are so freindly , know what you are ordering as you walk in the door. i wish i could come here daily. but 2 times a week is great from the manager NILUFATO THE WORKERS RATNA,RUMIKADERAFSANA. THANKS FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL.”
“The atmosphere and food is awesome especially as a McDonalds establishment. Only thing to worry tho is that the prices are actually higher over here than the one in Steinway so just keep that in mind.”
“My go-to for sandwiches. The Newtown Special is my favorite. I love that they deliver and you can order household items too such as toilet paper and milk. Highly recommend!”
“I came to New York from Japan 7 years ago, and for the first time I saw an employee at a McDonald's in New York cleaning screens, counters, etc. when his hands were free. This store is always clean. Sure there may be delays when there are a lot of delivery orders being concentrated, but they try their best to serve their customers quickly.”
“Delicious food ... fresh ... special lunch rates and above all... service! Outstanding ... they were friendly, courteous, ready when needed and yet respectful.of boundaries! That's why I keep coming back!”
“Excellent service on the phone and in person. I ordered the fish biriyani and the fish was super tender as well as the rice. The seasonings were perfect and not overly spiced, the plate was affordable and filling, and it came out fast. The restaurant is like a banquet style setup so good for casual dinners or celebrations, it is a little bit of a smaller space though.Highly recommend this spot!”

“First time trying out delicious savory crepe Chinese style! A friendly and helpful gentleman helped me order what I want. Will be back for sure. We tried #1 classic and #6 with turkey ham and pork floss. Both were very tasty. FYI, no cc, cash, Zelle or Venmo.”

“Best halal food with the best prices. I go here almost every day and the owner is a very friendly nice person. so is the staff.May God’s blessings and peace be upon the Prophet Muhammad, and may God’s blessings be upon his companions and descendants, and may God make this restaurant flourish with business as long as it is open, and may God keep all the ingredients of this shawarma fresh and delightful. Peace and peace, may God’s blessings be upon the Prophet and his companions and followers, and may God’s blessings and peace be upon the righteous predecessors, Paradise.On them constantlySay Ameen”
“Quick place to grab coffee. The coffee was delicious and I wasn't expecting a little latte art, but I got it ? If I was ever just chilling in the area, I can definitely see myself grabbing a cup and sitting there to work. The machine sounds are perfect if you prefer white-noise while you get some work done :)”
“The attention to detail on my daughter's birthday cake exceeded our expectations. Not only was it gorgeous, it tasted delicious. I did not request the ombré and can't imagine the work that went into making each layer. The chocolate cake was so good and the doll was neatly tucked inside. Everyone at the party was impressed.”
“Perfect local shop for coffee, homemade pastries, and sandwiches. Today’s just-out-of-the-oven mixed berry scones were absolutely out of this world — juicy berries within the best scone I have ever eaten!”
“We liked it! The Khao Soi is a little different than I'm used to. It had more spices, a bit less creamy. My DC had the Duck Tamarind, he said it was very good. I'll keep it in mind the next time we're up for Thai. I want to try the Green Curry, and the soft shell crab.”
“Wow! Such great Thai food and super affordable during lunch. We shared…Mixed green salad with Ginger-Soy dressingCrispy Chicken WontonsKhao Moo Dang (Pork belly over rice)Thai seared salmonEverything was delicious, we left stuffed. We will definitely be coming back.”
“Lovely Italian restaurant & bar. We went there for a pizza, and we did were totally satisfied. The pizza was very well done (best pizza I’ve had in NYC to be honest), and the dessert was delicious. We also loved the place, small but classy.”
“The food and drinks are great. The atmosphere is lively and friendly. The staff is wonderful. Had my birthday dinner there this weekend and it was great!!”

“Wendy’s app is ridiculous! It’s like it’s purposely designed to ensure no one uses their specials. Thankfully a Wendy’s employee, a nice young man, at this Wendy’s location helped me navigate the stupid app. Even he had trouble with it. Anyway, the food was good as always and the service was friendly and prompt at this Wendy’s.”

“Solid prices, strong drinks, and nice bartenders - what more could you ask. Also great location outside my favorite produce grocer so will grab groceries and a few drinks for a wild night ;)”
“The best made to order pizza out there … well at least for bar standards lol. Seriously, the pizza is great and the music on Sundays. Phenomenal w the band Pocket Sand / Trampleman who have been there for 12 years!! Sundays 9 ”
“I was waiting for my car to be serviced nearby and found this little cafe.Went in for coffee and I was pleasantly surprised to find how clean the place is. Never expected from small place like this.The guy was awesome and I received very warm welcome.I ordered a coffee which was served in no time. I also grabbed a banana and this guy just told me you can have it for free as you are here for the first time! How cool is that. I wish I lived nearby and this would have been my go to place every time.I wish them all the best for their business!”
“Love this bar, it’s 67 steps from my front door , 75 on the way back !”
“First time visiting. Great food and atmosphere! Owners were so nice. We will definitely be back!”
“Great place. Great Service and Great Food. Highly recommend Sparks Deli.”
“Stopped by because I always pass here! The tacos were good and came with a lot of meat. They added cilantro and onions. Next time I'll probably add cheese and sour cream. They do not serve guacamole. They have a lot of Latin ingredients for sale. If you need specific ingredients for the perfect salsa or Mexican dish you can find it here. The prices are inexpensive and great for a quick lunch or dinner. It's more of a deli not a restaurant!”
“I was staying at a hotel across the street in NY for vacation and this store was open when I arrived. The sandwich is thick and it was super delicious! The service was okay and the grocery store look dirty, but they sure make good sandwiches!”
“Hi, I'm Trish,I live right up the block from Kate’s Corner Cafe. I have known her since she graced Astoria & Long Island City with delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches and omelet platters. Every time I go there, I order everything so mouthwatering that I want to order for three or four people. Very professional personalities are great there. Everyone who works there is exemplary. Kate is very down-to-earth, warmhearted, and friendly to everyone she needs. They get the orders done as soon as possible, especially for all of those working people that go there that have only so much time for lunch.Her business has expanded to one of the colleges in the area. Oh, to top it all, she does catering. Yes, did I tell you she also has a food truck? And to top it all, she does catering. She can do it all. If you want some excellent food in the area and beyond, please check them out.I go back repeatedly; thank you so much, Kate, for making great food for our area.Thank you for being a great friend!!!?????? ? ??”
“My go to spot for an after work drink. Great atmosphere, great people, and great prices. If you are looking for that CHEERS environment this is the place to go. Everyone knows your name.”
“Everything was delicious. I especially liked the Mexican fruit salad and Mango Lemonade.”
“Not only are these some of the most delicious cookies I've ever had but the service was exceptional. I got a tin for my wife for valentines day and it went over quite well to say the least. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Great little shop full of Italian and European products. Prices are a mix. Some things very expensive, others not so much. I love that they always have something gluten free.”

“Best vibes of a coffee shop ✨️ ?. Even among the sweetleafs, this one is my favorite. Coffee is good and I like their soups too. I wish it was a little less stuffy inside though most of the year with more air circulation.Service used to be not very friendly some time back but there is a nice lady that works there now and she is very sweet. Without her I would have given service 2 stars because i did feel cashier was moody. But newer staff is good!”

“Ok as a resident of this area for 15 years, this place on 31st Ave btw 37 and 38 has turned over so many times, especially in the past 5 years. Jaguar is BY FAR the best all-around winner of any restaurant that's been there. Great food, great vibes, great staff, beautiful backyard area. Vegan/GF options available. The owner came over to say hi and check on us, and he was so friendly and clearly passionate about creating a welcoming place with fantastic food. There were like 6 things on the menu I wanted to order, but I can personally vouch for a fantastic waffle and the unique salad my fiancé had. I'm not really a bar goer, but the server told me they also have a cool vibe at night with a DJ. Please come show support so I don't lose my new favorite spot!”
“We think the food at Jiang Nan LIC is better than the one in Manhattan Chinatown. The service is more friendly here as well. The chili chicken soup was a surprise. Will come back!”
“Grand opening located within H Mart. There is a long line for Rice Boy. The staffs were friendly. I ordered Beef Boy to go, they forgot to give me utensils. There are places to sit with tables however, it gets very busy and packed if you decide to dine in. Enjoy their special offer 30% opening discount if you go in during May 10 to June 6, 2024. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5”
“The service and food quality at this restaurant are top-notch. Trying their chicken&beef box for the first time was an absolute delight—the chicken&beef had an incredible flavor. The mojito tea was one of the best bubble teas I've ever had. I'll definitely be coming back often!”
“It the best Mexican food I ever eat.”
