Restaurants near Hollis

“First time visitor of Girasoles. Small neighborhood restaurant in the Jamaica area. There are a handful of seats, some bar style and a table or two. It’s summer so it’s a bit warm in there even with the AC running. (Sit in the back, AC feels better there.) The lady that took the order was pleasant. Decent service, suitable for the establishment.

I tried the Steak Quesadilla as my introduction to their cuisine. The steak was tender and flavorful, the Cojito queso was new to me but added to the meal perfectly. My platter came with shredded lettuce, one small tomato slice (could have used a few more) and a little bit of guacamole. This didn’t seem like restaurant quality. It was better, more like mom or abuela was back there preparing dishes. I added a Coca Cola, the cool glass bottle ones that taste just a little bit better than the others you buy. (IYKYK)

Reasonable prices, really good food. Will be back to try another dish.”

“The rolls were warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. What made the visit even better was the service—Sam was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!”

“welcoming fresh staff is very polite and friendly 😊”

“I love coming into the bagel shop these women are great always have a smile in their faces the interact with the customers in a friendly manner and always are professional and mostly kind”

“The world famous Oxtail Mac Patty is 🔥🔥🔥 There’s a reason so many celebs and influencers have travelled from across the globe to try it! Was not disappointed! Very popular around the neighborhood as well. 💯👍🏾”

“Delicious pizza, been eating their pizza over 40 yrs, great, fast service”

“Wanted to experience a real Haitian bakery. The atmosphere is homey and quaint. The service was on point and quick. The food was amazing order consisted of Haitian patties variety (spinach, beef, fish, chicken), call the champagne and Haitian cookies (the cookies were OK). Would definitely recommend if you want a quick bite to eat.”

“My good friend and former co-worker and his wife recently opened this amazing Caribbean restaurant in Queens. Amazing food and wonderful service. His wife is burning up those pots and pans!���� Let's support and patronize his new endeavor and eat some good home cooking food!”

“My girlfriend and I visited the restaurant! The cuisine pleased us with exquisite dishes and affordable prices. The atmosphere is imbued with the spirit of ancient Japan. The most tender, like balloons, shrimps were especially memorable. The only thing missing to complete the picture is craft beer. As I understand it, only bottled beer is available, but unfortunately, there is no draft beer. Although, perhaps, I did not have time to think everything through.”

“Sam was a like… creepy worker there, the customer service was terrible, he overcharged me for a footlong cookie and I paid 7.69 instead of 5.89. He kept flirting with my friend which was creepy and the footlong cookie wasn’t even warm! Only the outside was warm and the inside was really cold. He was smiling at us in a really creepy way. But he said if I write a good five star review and mention how he was good he would give me a free cookie so all of my friends did it and we got free cookies but it was still kind of creepy. Don’t recommend.”

“Food good but they don't always listen so I always have to check my food befrore i leave to make sure it's what i ordered but the food is really good so it evens ”

“Grilled chicken sandwich was yummm, great service accommodating me and friend’s dietary restrictions. Shouldn’t have gotten the chicken wings but that’s on me. Too much good food ?”

“I’ve been a customer here for a long time and the food is great, as well as the service. Just wish there was a bit more. The lady who served me yesterday afternoon looks new so I didn’t get the portion of jerk chicken or oxtails I’d normally get. Other than that, I have no complaints.”

“The staff and quality of cleanliness and food freshness is the best Burger King I've had in many years. The 195 Street and Jamaica Ave location is not even the closest to me and I won't change from this one. Shout out to Miss Mitul, Mena, Sania. All of these ladies are hard working professional women in the workforce. They all deserve a raise and promotion.”

“Me gusta”

“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.”

“Fantastic speakeasy sushi joint. Very small, no more than an handful of people may join the omasake style bar where 3 talented (and cool) chefs serve you the best crafted sushi you can get. Definitely going back soon.”

“Amazing, nuanced, fresh and delicious food every time. Can’t wait for the Brussels sprout salad to come back.”

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service”

“Delicious and such incredibly warm service!! Our first time here and will be back. Big winners were the tortelloni — big luscious pillowy bites — and the gramigna, a total crowd pleaser. Also enjoyed every one of our cocktails. Thank you Gigante team!!”

“Absolutely loved the food here! Every dish was delicious, and the service was amazing. A special shout-out to Ryan for being so friendly and attentive—he really made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!”

“We had a group dinner her for a friend’s birthday and it was absolutely perfect. Amazing food and drinks, with stellar service and hospitality. Can’t wait to go back again. Ravi is the best!!!”

“Mengqi is an EXCELLENT server! From the very beginning, she had an extremely positive and great attitude. Before we even begin to eat, she noticed that I was wearing glasses and she handed me a lens wet wipe. I thought this was extremely sweet from her part! The way that she noticed this type of detail was just adorable.

My friend and I had questions about a couple of the menu items, and she was just so patient! There were two kinds of fish that my friend and I were deciding between to order, and Mengqi went to her phone to do a Google translation just so that we could get an accurate and descriptive description of what was the difference in taste between the two types of fish.

Throughout our dinner, she would come back to our table to see if we needed anything, to add more soup, and just to show that she was available for any requests that we might have.

There are not many servers who can continuously have a smile on their face while working - but Mengqi LITERALLY had a smile every time! And literally every time I asked for something to be brought to the table, she would immediately smile right after. But I must say, her smile was very genuine, and it did not look forced whatsoever. She is *so* sweet.

You can tell that she has a really great attitude and that just makes her customer service so memorable, to the point that I want to come back to this restaurant. Please, if the ownership of this restaurant sees this — give her a prize! Thank you, Mengqi !!!”

“My friends and I had a lovely afternoon at The Rockaway Hotel Pool house. We were greeted by a warm and friendly hostess, Isabella, who made us feel so welcomed. Our beautiful table was in the perfect spot to take in all of what the Rockaway Hotel has to offer. The outside bar and Pool house are exquisite. The pool was bustling with excitement. Our waiter, Andrew, was polite and helpful . I highly recommend coming to The Rockaway Hotel because their staff is highly professional and attentive.”

“Not enough words to describe how much I love this place.

It is consistently delicious. I will always start off with a Bruschetta or Raddichio Caesar and it hits every time. The pizzas are fantastic and they always have some funky flavor pairings that are surprisingly tasty. There is hardly a wait except on super busy nights (and then barely a wait at all) and the atmosphere is vibey. I have brought many friends and the reviews are always the same: amazing.

I’d recommend this as a great neighborhood spot any day.”
