“Very satisfied with the taste and portion size of Thai takeout from Thonglor, which may have gotten a new owner or chef since the old Red Basil? Green curry is tasty and includes nice large chunks of eggplant and bamboo shoots. Noodle dishes like pad kee mao and pad see ew have generous portion of noodles. We normally order from Pochana but have a new favorite in Thonglor, which costs slightly more but you definitely get a larger portion and good quality in return.“
“An excellent choice at any time. Went here for the first time today and you can guarantee I will be back. We had such an amazingly simple and lush/wholesome meal that left us feeling full yet light at the same time. Everything was fresh, made to order, and just simply perfect as it relates to spice ratio. The service was impeccable and so were our drinks.“
“Ahhhh this place is sooo good!!!! Today must’ve been my 6-7th time being here. We live in LI now but still come back, and today it was in route back from the poconos heading to our home. We were craving a good Spanish meal; Acento is Colombian. It’s mine and my partner’s favorite Latin place in Astoria, and being Latin ourselves and considering there’s not many places in Astoria area that are of our cuisine (he’s Ecuadorian and I’m PR), this speaks volumes! Haha. I tried to remind myself to capture photos, but we were so hungry and eager to eat, that I ended up taking photos midway through eating! lol.Our favorite treat is the Arepa Cachapa, which is sort of like a sweet corn patty with cheese inside, omg amazing! We had it as our appetizer.Their white rice is so perfect - it’s grainy while still being soft and fluffy, just like I like it.The red beans one of the best fusion of flavors I’ve had and let me tell you that we have rice and beans about 2-3 times per week (like I said we’re Latin and it’s a staple in our household and culture overall).I had the Entraña steak today with yuca fries - steak was so juicy like I like it and yuca fries were perfectly crispy. The chimichurri sauce that comes with it, yummm!Partner had the traditional Bandeja Paisa, which he tends to get at every Colombian spot we go to and he enjoyed every part of the meal (it’s a combo meal, a must try). We all tried each other’s food. My kids shared with us and they even loved it (that says a lot for 4-yr olds who can sometimes can be picky with food! lol), and we also had food left over to bring back home.Great portion sizes, very generous.Atmosphere is so chill, lovely with a mix of different music playing in the background. My kids and I were all grooving to the music haha.We didn’t order any drinks today, but from what we remember, they’re also good and tasty!A must visit if you’re in the area and looking for a guaranteed delicious meal, no underwhelm, and want a bite of our cultural foods that always hit the tummy right!Kid-friendliness: Welcoming to kids. I’ve eaten there several times with them“
“Just checked out Hamido Restaurant in Astoria, Queens, and man, was I blown away! The vibe? Cozy and welcoming. The service? Quick and friendly, making you feel right at home. But what really matters - the food. Went there with my french friend, they are known to be picky about the food - even he loved it a lot. Every bite was a perfect blend of spices and freshness, making it hard to pick a favorite dish. I liked branzino, babaganush was great. Calamari wouldn't be my first choice, but they were ok, even french fries were good. Also, check out the mint lemonade, it's amazing. Good place, recommend.“
