An incredible early dinner tonight at Taku in Garden City…read more We started with a delicate Shrimp Wonton Soup -- light, clean, and incredibly comforting. Then came the Mexican Roll , perfectly balanced with fresh tuna and avocado. The Spicy Salmon Tartare was beautifully presented and served with crunchy spicy wasabi crackers that added the perfect texture and kick. And the Spicy Crunchy Rock Shrimp were absolutely addictive -- crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. Every dish was fresh, creative, and beautifully plated. Even the details -- like the elegant soup spoon -- made the experience feel special. Taku continues to be one of the gems of Garden City. Highly recommend.

The honeydew boba is made with dairy but still tasty and light on the stomach. I recommend the sushi for two sampler which comes with shareable miso soup. There's ramen and hibachi on the menu as well. Restrooms located in rear of eatery.

Also, they have a happy hour every day from 4-7 PM with a $10 menu. The server is attentive and the food comes out pretty fast. The place is simply clean, with a sleek design. I recommend sitting by the bar area, which is more lively.

Our waiter was possibly new and I mean my dad is in the business so I'm very understanding and quite easy to please. They have mocktails and cocktails here. I don't drink so I love some good mocktails. I ordered a strawberry dreams too. I didn't even realize they also have an alcoholic drink called strawberry dreams lol. I mean whoever made the menu maybe don't do that. Anyway I was confused when he came out with two drinks but we explained it's the name of the drink, not 2 lol and we thought it was sort of funny. You'd think maybe he'd say oh there is an alcoholic version. Anyway I took a sip and yeah a nice strong yummy drink. I mean if I wanted alcohol I'd be very pleased lol. I didn't so I was like um yeah I just wanted a mocktail. So yeah got my mocktail which was also very yummy. I took off a star and debated between 3-4 stars because I have an alcoholic mom in recovery. I started to wonder well what if that had been her? My mom has a nose like a dog so she probably would've smelled the drink before ever taking a sip lol but still I can't even imagine like well what if it was my mom? I'm not in recovery though and my mom wasn't with us, nor did it happen to her lol. It was a silly mistake so yeah that's why I went back and forth between 3-4 with the stars in my review. I haven't even told my mom about the silly mixup because I don't want her being terrified anytime we go out to dinner that she might accidentally drink alcohol :P They should really think about changing the drink names so there is never any confusion! Just encase it's ever someone who really cannot drink and could ruin their life lol. But hey it wasn't the end of the world for me and now an amusing story we have to tell. I ended up with the 4 stars because the rock & roll shrimp was really delicious. So was the sushi esp the tuna one.

I went to HAKA a few weeks ago, as I was visiting family on Long Island and wanted to get…read moreIndo-Chinese food. The restaurant is medium sized, lots of booths, and was decorated for Valentine's Day. They take reservations and were pretty busy. Service was good, although a little slow at the beginning. I tried the following dishes: Cauliflower Manchurian (3/5): This dish was pretty good, but not amazing. I did enjoy it. Garlic Chili Noodles (3.5/5): Pretty good noodles, not very spicy but good flavor and consistency. Hakka Chili Chicken (4/5): I liked this chicken, but my dining partner did not. The chicken was boneless dark meat, which I really like. You can get it with no, light, or full gravy. We did full and had it with rice. I did enjoy this dish. Overall, I had a pretty good experience at HAKA. No dishes were real standouts, but they were all decent. It is not a bad option for Indo-Chinese in the area.

The menu has both indian and chinese dishes. It's not fusion just two different cuisines being sold. We ordered a roll that came with shrimp tempura, mango and salmon. It was very good, a warm grill that felt like a sandwich. The side galore noodles we ordered were dry and not very flavourful. We ordered shrimp with then and they came with fried/tempura shrimp, which we found odd. There was also egg on the dish but it did nothing for the noodles. We ordered the noodles regular so they should have had some sauce but there was none. The chicken dishes were both really good. The chicken wasn't overly fried or breaded. It tasted fresh and had a good bite to it. I like the spicy garlic chicken a bit more because of the spice. The haka chicken was more of a sweet and salty flavor. Both were tasty. If I'm in the area I'll come back here.

Not bad for a Wednesday at 1:30. The food is still good, but the service is HORRIBLE! Waitress came and said "order?". No introduction, no specials (clearly a board that listed some but was somewhat blocked by tables). We ordered, no recognition, no cordial response - very off putting. Did not make us feel welcome. Seemed rushed like she had some place else to be. I opted for just ice water and I ended up with and empty glass for more than half of my meal. No follow up to see how the meal is. When we were done, she came and asked "finished?" We were but once again that was it, no "anything else?". Guess she didn't realize she's in customer service and she needs to change her attitude. Unfortunately, the wait staff all seemed to have the same disposition. I told my son, this is a management issue, they need to train their staff better. So disappointed!

Seems like it would be easy to find in this neighborhood but it wasn't. We ended up here during a lunch time special and I was able to order straight through Yelp. When I got there 10 minutes later everything was already waiting. The space is small but perfect for what it is and the workers were extremely kind and helpful.. I can't wait to go back again and try some other items. My little girl who is extremely picky loved her cucumber roll and ate 5 pieces on her own! This is a massive win for us which means that they had a great product!

Cinnabar location should really survive the restaurant test of time…read more The staff has always been top notch along with the various food options and clean, nicely kept decor. The seafood has always been super fresh and picture perfect, made to order every time. Jumping in on one of the all you can eat options is worth it, as it truly gives you an option to try familiar and new items that hopefully become a fan favorite. Cocktail and Drink menu is vast and super tasty whether you opt alcoholic beverages or non. Dessert menu is limited, but after eating all you can of the menu I suppose room in the tummy is limited. Could be nice though to have a few more small bite options outside of an ice cream cup. Purchasing a Groupon to discount your final bill is super easy, and easy to hit minimal required total after ordering an adult beverage or two. Opted to celebrate my NYE Birthday here this past year for my first try and came back again recently for Mother's Day Unisex restrooms are kept neat and there is at least (the first) one with a baby changing table. Parking is plenty but can be a little tight during peak dining hours. Highly recommend this location as it has and more than you could ever want in one seating.
