Or Yehuda 138-44 86th Ave, Jamaica Kosher • $$
138-44 86th Ave, Jamaica

“This was one of the top 2 dinners we had both in the City and in the Hamptons this week and was also the least expensive. We couldn’t believe they have Chilean Sea Bass kabobs, and they are only $13 or $20 for a meal. Excellent. Also the dumpling chicken broth dill soup, baklava, hummus, pickles, fries, hot tea- literally everything was fresh and prepared to perfection. As other reviewers have written, this is a hole in the wall find, and I would come all the way to Queens to eat here again! Very near JFK. Service was fairly quick, clientele mostly large families, takes credit cards. Wonderful Israeli/middle eastern cuisine in a very casual atmosphere at very reasonable prices!”

“Love the food at Aso Rock! I normally get the Jollof and fish and it never disappoints. I tried the fufu and veggies today and loved it! The customers sitting next to me raved about the boneless goat head with white rice which I will try next time. The owner appreciated that I knew much about the culture and food since I am not African. The other customers also appreciated my knowledge of the culture and treated me to a free plum wine which I also enjoyed. I normally have a good experience here and will definitely return!!!!”

VIP Fish Market 131-27 Rockaway Blvd, Jamaica Seafood • $$
131-27 Rockaway Blvd, Jamaica

“Saw this place when I went to a place a cross the street, caught my eye coz I've been craving for good fried fish. Checked them out and the place looks decent, small for a fish store but they have good selection of cooked and fresh seafood. I had my doubts but I'm glad I still tied them coz the food was good! The crabs were over fried or dried out but it had good flavor, I'd bet it would've been amazing if it were super fresh, but they had the fried fish and breaded fried shrimp were really good.The lady was nice enough that she wasn't rushing me while I was looking around and she didn't have an attitude which made me happy coz plenty of places seems to have unfriendly ppl working. She was also happy to assist.I'm glad I found this place close to my place, now we can have fresh good seafood anytime we feel like it. I definitely recommend.”

“I couldn't recommend this homemade tiffins service more highly! The food is so fresh and healthy, the dishes delicious and varied each week, and my husband and I always marvel at how great we feel after these meals -- nothing like our (beloved but) heavy Indian take-out in the neighborhood. Especially during quarantine, this has been a true godsend. The chef is so talented, and we love that it's a local family business. Plus amazing customer service, and it's completely customizable week to week, so zero commitment. Highly suggest!!”

13742 Guy R Brewer Blvd, Jamaica

“Xin Bao is my local Chinese takeout spot & I order nearly every day for lunch.The veggies have great variety and are never overcooked, the "House" brown sauce isn't too salty, & the protein always tastes great!My 2 favorites are the shrimp with broccoli & the beef with mixed veggies (they also offer "Chinese veggies" as an option, always clarify which one you want). Sometimes I order my special: beef with onions and mushrooms (not on the menu).Xin Bao is reasonably priced, though they have a slightly more expensive dinner menu.I always get the hot mustard & "duck sauce"and egg roll with my meal.Politeness goes a long way, treating the people at the window respectfully & politely has never caused any issues for me with their customer service or willingness to make changes to the food I order.Food 4.5/5Service 4/5Ease of ordering 5/5Menu options 4.7/5**I recommend calling your order in first & having them confirm it.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies served whenever you ask for "mixed" veggies option. House brown sauce is gingery and delicious.Parking: Around the corner on 140th ST. Mainly used by the nail salon guests.”

“Whoever it was that cook my ribs on 11/29/23 did a great job! They were tender, juicy, fresh and half a step from falling off the bone. Much improved from the last time I visited Smoke a few years ago. The mac & cheese was ok, it could use some seasonings in preparation; cornbread, small but very good. I will be returning to try some other items.... definitely will order the ribs again.I used the parking at the rear of the restaurant. Thanks for a great meal!”

I recommend this over the other two places just because you get a Variety. They also have really big fresh muffins, croissants, yogurt, cookies, and even fresh french fries. Honest and friendly. Love their eggplant panini extra hot pressed.”

JFK Access Rd, Jamaica

“I stopped by in the morning before my flight at around 7 AM. The Google operating time is wrong. They have a coffee muffin deal for $5 and a sandwich, chips, and bottled water deal to go for $15. With tip and tax it was about 25 which will get me through breakfast and lunch!I think this is very reasonable for an airport and the food was better than most to-go premade food options in the airport. Only thing not for a five stars (granted this is airport food) is that it looked like it had not been cleaned from the night before. Service was friendly though and there was not a line given it’s at the end of the terminal (and not Dunkin).”

What I liked is how quick & easy it was to order online and how quickly the food was ready. Also the quantity of the food was comparable to what you’d get in a restaurant outside of the airport. Also the customer service was pretty good.”

Muffins are good, and, of course, over priced. Can’t complain about eggs because you have to be crazy to buy eggs here. Service is pleasant.”
