Restaurants in Elmhurst

“My daughter graduated college and this was her choice for a family dinner after such a long day! Such an amazing experience. From the second we arrived until we left service was excellent. Thai food was delicious and the cocktails were unique and highly recommended. We had a decent size party and they accommodated us comfortably and every one of us enjoyed our meals.”

“Awsome food.. feels like home!”

“The service and food is amazing 🤩 it’s a must go and a great experience!!”

We are there almost every Friday.
That CEVICHE special was out of this world, really amazing. PLEASE, HAVE IT, AGAIN!!!”

“I used to go into the city for halal then by richmondhill/glendale. one night after work i decided to try essa's chicken over rice by qcm... 10$... that was 2021 best decision ive made and price has stayed exactly the same from when i first went there till now, not only is his chicken seasoned great but he blesses you with a perfect mix of veggies, fries and one falafel(if thats what ur lookin for but if u a plane jane then he'll bless ya wit that to. His green sauce is crazy good too. he's a genuine down to earth guy and always says wassup when u walk by.”

“A very low key spot tucked away in the corner of Dongan St and Broadway. The beef tendon and beef stew noodle that I had was very hearty. decent amount of chunks of beef.”

“Great Sicilian, if you can catch them open. If you want to order ahead for pick up, do it at least 2 hours in advance or you will be turned down and they don't deliver. Cash Only.”

“Service was exceptional. The man at the counter was extremely hospitable. Food was phenomenal as well. I went there for the food, but I came away with an even better experience with their service.”

“I'm completely sold on this place after my first visit. Our group had a wonderful dining experience. Yelp steered me toward this excellent spot. Their service team was sufficiently attentive. I'd eat here again and suggest others visit.”

“The restaurant serves amazing soups. Love it.”

“Great dishes!
We had
-Moo ka ta a Thai pork hot pot.
-Papaya salad with tiny blue crab
-Suea rong hai a really flavorful sliced beef dish with origins in Northern Thailand
-Beef tartare from the issan region of Thailand.
The owner and the staff were super nice.

Check out Tea Cup for unique Thai flavors and don't skip on their drinks like the coconut milk with butterfly pea and shaved ice dessert.”

“I love French vanilla coffee, it's something else!!”

“Nice little place. Food is tasty and well made, not greasy or overly spiced. Very good indeed. Apparently, a diamond in the rough among actual thai people.”

“Will be back soon! Only had time to choose two items from the lunch menu to takeout. The pork chop and fish fillet were more than worth it. The lunch special came with rice either white or brown and a cup of soup. The food here is super homey. The service at the restaurant is great. The hostess was super friendly. The place was packed and I believe there is a second floor. Waited a hot minute for my food but there was room to sit while you do.”

“Took my mom here for Mother’s Day. Service was great. You can tell it’s a family run restaurant. Food was authentic and delicious. Can be slightly pricey given the portions for that area of queens, but I think it’s worth it. For 5 people it was roughly $200 at the end. So not the worst :) seating is limited, but servers were friendly and accommodating. Will be back!”

“Rica la comida y muy buena la atención 👍recomendable 💯”

“Had a delicious meal with wonderful service. I’ll definitely be back and I appreciate the level of detail that was taken on each item, including the delicious jalapeño margarita with the sliced jalapeño on top. The elote was very delicious and everything was hot and cooked to order!”

“菜色多樣美味好吃 台閩南風味”

“This be my new spot.
Food is good. I ordered Papaya salad and I wish there is a spicy level to the menu. I wish mine a bit spicier. Cute place, good food. Definitely recommend.”

“general tso’s chicken was great but I ordered fried rice but got plain yellow rice with bean sprouts? is that what you call fried rice? prices not cheap. no no no.”

“This shop has gradually grown in size. The cakes here are really delicious. I have been here several times and bought more than 30 dollars of desserts every time. Now they also add milk tea, which is really delicious. There are also meals Yes, but I haven’t tried it. I will try it again when I have time.”

“There very kind and easy going, only funny complaints is they give me no forks when I order takes out but to be fair I have my own fork and knife but still the gesture would be nice but this was at first but they have gotten better, I would recommend this place 100%”

“The conveyor belt wasn't working the day that we went for lunch, but my friend and I still had a good time. It was good sushi, nothing amazing but still solid. Lunch special was nice. Enjoyed, and would come back.”

“excellent food. there is always a little wait but that speaks to the excellence of the cuisine and how good the place is. if you go for dimsum it’s really affordable. it you opt for some of the entrees the prices are good but we tend to favor their lobster sticky rice which is so big we can rarely finish the entirety of two lobsters and it’s so incredibly delicious.”

“Been going here my entire life. It's been around since the 1930s and was recently remodeled. I prefer the previous look--- the new one is too sterile-- but it's only a small issue.

One of the cheapest and best fast food spots in the area.”

“I usually never leave reviews, but the portions are HUGE and the price is super cheap and the food was so good and hearty that it made me tear up. 10/10

Also, I got the 4 entre + lo mein combo and it was only $9”

“excelente servicio bebidas y comida deliciosa 😋”

“Service is good and kindly.”

“The food is delicious and the chicken is great. Everyone is really friendly and happy to help you out with your meals. Just love them”

“The sandwiches are great and more than anything they have amazing customer support. I made a mistake when ordering one time online and ordered from this subway when I was over an hour away I came back in two days and they were able to provide me with the food I initially ordered that I never picked up, the food is always great. They work fast and I appreciate it.”

“We picked up a tiramisu cake yesterday which was delicious and fresh. It was the best tiramisu cake we've ever had. The cream was fresh. It wasn't that sweet and the Lady fingers were like cake. Very soft and delicious. I've been going to this bakery since I was 13. I'm 60 now and it's still in business. That says a lot. They also have the best strawberry shortcake and freshly baked cookies. And of course I can not forget the chocolate eclairs with cream or custard. You won't be disappointed. Everything they sell is good.”

“La comida es muy delicioso 🤤 se los recomiendo”

“Really loved the halo halo! Came here after a different place ran out

- Halo halo: 9/10, first time trying this! Ube ice cream was creamy and strong, but wish the scoops were larger tho. Jellies were very yummy. Ube slush was a little too icy, but I get that’s for the drink to last longer and for transport if it’s take out”

“very tasty. great price. great staff.”

“I noticed Smashburger recently went through a rebranding, so I decided to give it another shot. We had some not-so-great experiences at this location years ago, which kept us from coming back—but after seeing the updated menu featured by YouTuber King Schratz, we figured it was worth trying again. I’m glad we did, because it did not disappoint.

The food and service were both excellent and fast, and the restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly across the board, and Ashley at the register really stood out—she gave great recommendations and helped us choose some items.

Our order included the BBQ Bacon Burger, Smash Fries, Smash Tots, a chili cheese big hot dog, and milkshakes. Everything came out quickly, and the team even brought the food to our table. The Smash Fries and Tots were delicious , with a flavorful garlic, herb, and olive oil seasoning. The burgers were large, juicy, and had that perfect crispy crust you want from a smash burger.

The milkshakes were also a highlight. Made with Häagen-Dazs ice cream, they were rich but still easy to drink. The only downside is that the caramel flavor has been discontinued. I really hope they bring it back because it was a favorite.

Overall, this visit completely changed my impression of this location. Definitely worth checking out.”

“Came in to get a quick bite. The omcheese burger is amazing must get. Our waitress Jeysmari was the best! Friendly and knowledgeable. The manager Mr .Williams very nice made my friends birthday special. Will be returning for the great service and food!”

“very tasty. great price. great staff.”

“aroi mak👍 Taste authentic thai food by thai family. I really impressed the quality of the taste. it was really tasty and traditional ❤️ love the thai tea, somtum and dry suki. this place worth visiting ngl🇹🇭🫶🏻”

“服務人員親切，用了很足，味道也很夠。推薦啤酒鴨，雞捲，和當歸湯”

“Roti Canai delicious! The Nasai Lemak was awesome with tender and flavorful curry chicken. Tried crispy fish cakes first time and it was yummy!”

“I have been going here from past few years, it has never disappointed. Service is great, the owner is kind and food is delicious.
One of the best Tibetan restaurant in Queens.”

“Great little bakery in Elmhurst. I do believe it a bit underrated. I actually prefer to come here than any other bakery around the neighborhood. Some of their bread are more unique than other places, and love the bread that is in packs, great for breakfast and the price is also fair. The egg they use for one of the egg ham bread is actual fried egg, unlike other bakeries they start to have eggs like the egg from mcd, some artificial look thing.”

“Everything was fresh and delicious. My wife found this place while we were in NYC visiting from Boston. Definitely recommend and we will come back.”

“They've done some renovations and the place looks more updated, clean, and cozy. The food is great and comforting as always. A neighborhood staple for sure.”

“Reliable chinese spot that we’ve been coming to for years. It’s gone through a few ownership changes throughout that time but the food is usually on point. Recommend fried flounder, sweet and sour chicken, winter melon soup, duck feet, walnut shrimp, clams with black bean sauce, snails, sang san beef, chow fun noodle, salt and pepper pork chop.

Some seafood items like fried flounder and lobsters are market price, you can ask before ordering. Sometimes you can be unlucky and get a smaller size flounder than other times.”

“...Spectacular! The atmosphere is super good, the DJ is incredible, and the music is excellent! The drinks are delicious... and the service is top-notch!. Thanks so much to Ricardo , such a nice server.”

“Great Shish kebabs for insanely good prices. Most $2, some 2.50-$3.00

Cash only, no cards but she does take Zelle.

Sweet couple, extremely nice.

You're going to want to eat a minimum of 4, but if your hungry easy to eat 8 🤣

Its an outside food cart with limited street seating, but these guys were open at 10pm when it was 27° the other night and they still had a line of people. Absolutely worth every cent.

The lamb was odee slamming, the beef was great. They're all good really, but my fave was the fish balls with the spicy seasoning. Give it a try!”

“Came for the breakfast burrito and now I want to come back and try everything else. I was craving a breakfast burrito and this was one of the few places that had them on the menu. Really good flavor and the chorizo was not super fatty. The chile de árbol sauce is chef’s kiss! It was also a nice touch to have some café de olla (coffee sweetened with raw sugar molasses and cinnamon), which brought back some good memories. Service was top notch. The decoration is fun too with some Lucha Libre artwork. The tamarind sweet at the end is fun. They have some traditional Guerrero food that would be worth coming back for.”

“Came with my boyfriend whos been here multiple times and said it was delicious, and he wasn’t wrong. We got chicken, squid, chinese sausage, ricecake, shrimp, and beef skewers that were ALL amazing. HIGHLY recommend the spicy powder on any skewer you order. I have low tolerance for spice, but it was just a small kick for a couple seconds. I will be coming here way more often, I found my favorite food spot for late night snacks.”

“This place is a gem. You can tell the ingredients are fresh. It looks like a family restaurant. The owners are really great. They do have really good authentic bakery items as well.”

“I didn’t know which one tasted better, so I tried them all. I found 3 things I liked... I asked them their names, but it turned out that the person working on them didn't speak much English. She answered me in Spanish...I don't understand Spanish, so I ignored the name?One is filled with egg, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it gets...The other one has the same texture as mochi. It's a potato on the outside and meaty on the inside.”

“Their fried rice, pad-see-ew, Thia iced tea”

“The food is always delicious! I always get the beef chili soup, it’s perfect every time. The chicken teriyaki is also amazing, much better than any other chicken teriyaki places!”

“Everything is so so good!!! Service is top notch & very friendly too. The taste is so close if not the same as the one in Thailand. ❤️❤️ will be back for sure”

“Uno de nuestros lugares favoritos desde años comida super deliciosa Sangria esquisita y atencion super!!!”

“Everything rocks from the cracked seats to the small space. The bartender Melissa or Michelle I can’t remember, she got me so drunk I can’t remember, is great. They don’t sell food but will let you bring in any food.”

“Great service-- great food --great staff-- I love it�”

“Delicious food and great customer service 😍”

“The absolute best sandwiches and wraps in the entire neighborhood. The owner is the best. keeps everything meticulously clean , the food is Always fresh and delicious! Their smoothies are favorite too.”

“my go to spot in the area. they’re so personable that they know my sister and i. the food there is sooo delicious and it’s a good cheap eats spot. they are really hard workers! 😊”

“I discovered the Deli by walking by one day , I’ve been returning almost every day since then . I’m not liying when I say that their bacon egg and cheese is the best I’ve ever had .”

“I loved the food so much here! The price was good and the people were nice. I’ll definitely be going back.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s in a food court and there is space for wheelchairs.”

“Absolutely delicious!

They sell soy milk with sugar and no sugar, I love the flavor, Tofu is other level, love it so much.
You should definitely improve in package, paper box for tofu with whey not the best.
Prices are extremely good and overall good place to find delicious food.
I highly recommend this place”

“I order from KNA pretty often and I am always satisfied. This time I ordered the B2 Green juice. I am not a big fan of green juices, I drink it for health reason. But this juice was so delicious. Very refreshing, everything was perfect about it. I also ordered a lbs of grilled chicken. Wow! It was perfectly cooked, moist and tasty. It worth every penny!”

“👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😁😁😁😁😁☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️😀😀😀😀😀🥤🥤🥤🥤🥤🍡🍡🍡🍡”

“Love the food. Workers are so nice”

“I love this cart so much. The owner Nour is the sweetest person ever. Today he explained to me that his name is translated as light. He is truly so hardworking and the food is always so warm, yummy & fresh ! :)”

“Dining at a Colombian restaurant is always a blast! The food is bursting with flavor and the portions are huge. The atmosphere is super inviting and the service is always friendly here. Whether you’re in the mood for some tasty street food or a full-on traditional meal, this restaurant are the perfect spot for an authentic Latin American dining experience,

The only downside is that the chairs are a bit tall and uncomfortable to sit in. It’s great that there’s a window table bar chair, but for the center table, I think it would be better if they had normal dining chairs”

“Bajas calorías , buena nutrición y energía”

“We are frequent customers, good prices and very good preparation of the dishes. They have a very varied and very affordable menu. Excellent attention and very fast service, both to eat in the premises and to take home...”

“Recently started interning at one of the office buildings nearby and hes my favorite part about my break. Nicest owner ever and such awesome food. He really packs it for you and its always delicious!!”

“This is my first time here, i pass by here all the time going to the subway but yday when I passed I saw a man by the window eating a steam bun and it looks delish so I tried it today.. got chicken steam bun for $1.60 and a hot ginger with honey for $1.75 .. paid $3.35 for lunch.. there’s a lot to try like spare ribs over rice and some Dimsum but for now am satisfied with what I got.. next weekend I’ll try those something over rice meal for $5 or $4 they also have rice noodles for $3.. so cheap and the place is clean so it’s 4stars for now.. let’s see in the future..”

“Pizza was the best that I had in New York, great selections by the slice, real New York service, crust was perfect and toppings are great quality. Tried others but nothing compared.”

“Very fresh, authentic Chinese cuisine. Service was good (slow at first), but friendly and attentive. So glad to have a good Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood!”

“Real ones know Queens don’t play about food.
Pulled up to Shun Wang in Elmhurst and went full savage mode on some real Cantonese classics. No fancy vibes, just serious flavor.
Roast Pig over rice? Crispy, juicy, zero mercy.
Roasted duck over white rice? Illegal levels of good.
Pork wonton noodle soup? Broth so rich it pays rent.
This is traditional Cantonese done the right way — friendly staff, big portions, no nonsense.
If you’re in Queens and not eating here, that’s on you.
Dine in or take out… just don’t miss it. 🍚🔥”

One of the cheapest and best fast food spots in the area.”

“It took three trips to this cafe to manage getting one picture of the incredible drinks and food we got bc we ate it all up so fast.... You too may have this problem.

1. Chopped cheese - High end restaurant worthy, it's incredible and big. (Forgive my pics, I assure you reader it looked picture perfect)
2. Ube Latte - something special, and something purple... Good match, better taste.

Plus outside seating on a cute street. What more can you ask for.”

“I had a great experience at this place and can honestly say it’s a hidden gem in the neighborhood.

You can really tell they put effort into their food, and the variety of options makes it even better. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, making it a nice spot to hang out and enjoy a meal, especially in the evening.

“Great place for fresh tasting Chinese food.”

“Amazing food and super friendly staff! I usually dine in, but when I had an issue with an online order, they were incredibly helpful and handled everything with care. Thank you so much!”

“stumbled upon this spot randomly and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing decor and vintage thai memorabilia. It was so cute! Also no wait which was a plus. For apps we got crispy rice balls and pickled green mango with mai dong herbal drink. The crispy rice was fried to perfection and the pickled mango with spicy chili powder (not sure what it was, kind of tastes like tajin) was yummy and juicy (kind of tasted like pickled daikon radish)!
My partner got the khai soi with waygu and i got the tom yum noodle soup. Both were soooo delicious and perfect. I keep thinking about the delicious pork in the tom yum soup (both roasted and ground) It was a memorable meal in elmhurst. Only cons are it’s cash only and no dessert :(”

“best foodspizza Biryani excellent delicious”

“Tried the jamaica and horchata it was pretty delicious. I got a tolera sandwich with extra avocado and the al pastor pizza. Both were 10/10 and would come again, maybe to try a different kind of pizza. I believe Tuesdays and Thursdays you can get free soda from making a purchase.”

“Great Bar, Beautiful bartenders, great music.
Everyone very friendly. Cool place to chill with friends for a drink. Hookahs are pretty good only on weekends. Karaoke pretty awesome.”

“One of the best skewer cart BBQ in New York. Must try, beef, lamb, and fish balls. They have a booming business and it’s evident with the many customers in the venue. The skewers taste amazing and offer decent prices.”

“Loved this place for happy hour, affordable prices and even their signature cocktails were on the happy hour menu 😍 The decor and music is fun and they have a ping pong table with a huge screen for music videos etc.”
