    It's a locals spot for Thai food that is pretty reliable and consistent. Small place and clean with a nice decor, cozy feel. Some nights the place is crowded and on others it's empty but they do a brisk amount of take out / delivery. Which is what I did a few nights ago an order of Pad Thai with chicken and some spring rolls. The Pad Thai was very tasty with a generous helping of chicken, and the portion was large enough to split between two people. Spring rolls we hot and tasty. We pretty much only get take out from here as its close by, and the food is prepared quickly with pleasant service. Lunch specials and happy hour cocktails too.

    They have great lunch specials everyday as well as HH items until 8pm. I got the pad thai pork lunch specials. The pork was tender but the noodles were a little too mushy and sweet for me. Just a tad bit. I got the shrimp/chicken dumplings which were good and juicy, and all the lunch specials come with a house cabbage clear soup that I enjoyed as well.

    Place is cute found street parking right outside ! Has about 10 tables friendly staff ! Appetizer came out quick.. limited drink menu given the space but the food was delicious! We had the spiced wings as an appetizer, crabmeat fried rice which had more egg than crabmeat imo but was super delish. The grilled steak fried rice was another hit!

    What a gem, this restaurant turned out to be . I was originally heading the the place next door but the tables were all occupied there and stools seating available. My back was killing me from walking around with some heavy bags and sitting on a stool was not would be the worst option at that time. I saw that Bangrak had some open tables and the lunch special looked fair. I went in and was so warmly welcomed in the cozy atmosphere . The shop is very cute. For those who love to take restaurant selfies it's perfect. The lucnh special had options to customize ,I like that. The portions were very filling, and the food was excellent. Thai flavors shone through and I honestly stayed much longer than I anticipated. Enjoying the mellow relaxed space. It was after regular lunch rush hours and before dinner so it was not crowded, I can see a place like this with this good food being packed for dinner. Tables are close together and the shop is small . Service was quick and everything was hot and fresh. I got Spring Rolls, (special comes with a soup as well) and the Thai Basil Fried Rice - spicy and fragrant just like i like it -I added chicken. I was too full for dessert ( I had left overs to take home) so I had a ginger tea . The girls serving were very attentive and friendly, I really liked their hospitality. Although my perfect dining experience is solo I think I would enjoy dining here with a friend. It hits all the marks .

    Easy to miss this modestly sized restaurant which comfortably seats 18. Came here for the first time on a summer Tuesday evening, not one where restaurants are typically busy. This place was almost full. And we found out why. Service was attentive and the food was very good. We started with the chicken and shrimp dumplings. They were tasty and were correctly titled as there seemed to be more chicken than shrimp. For entrees we ordered the Chicken Volcano and Shrimp with Cashew Nut Stir Fry. The Chicken Volcano was plentiful with broccoli, pineapple and assorted veggies. The chicken was fried and while tasty was a bit too greasy for me. The Shrimp Cashew Nut Stir Fry was nicely seasoned and the veggies were cooked just right- not mushy. Pricing moderate. Overall, Two thumbs up!

    Lychee Thai Iced Tea and Pad See Ew
    Zoe D.

    Ordered delivery from here tonight since I was craving Thai food, and it did not disappoint! My food arrived quickly, hot, and neatly packaged, and the drink was ice cold. They had the clever idea to put my lychee Thai iced tea in a paper rice container, so it wouldn't spill, for which I was grateful. The lychee Thai iced tea had the traditional Thai iced tea flavor we all know and love, plus some additional sweetness and fruitiness from the lychee. It also comes with two pieces of lychee in the drink, which made me very happy. As for the food, it was delicious! Tofu pad see ew is my go-to every time I go to a Thai restaurant or order delivery. It had the perfect blend of sweet and savory, and was also garlicky, which is a flavor I absolutely love. I was also genuinely surprised by how quickly my food arrived, and it did the job of satisfying my cravings perfectly. Whenever I get around to it, I'll definitely be visiting the in-person location!

    Shrimp Basil Fried Rice
    Richelle G.

    Cute little restaurant on the UES. Definitely tucked away in the 90s. Was trying to get away from my usuals and this spot did not disappoint. Pretty small but definitely mighty. The host/waitress was so sweet. They have weekend happy hour with wines, sangria and sparkling drinks for $8 alongside selective appetizers. Ordered shrimp basil fried rice and it was great. There were some noodles tucked away in the meal but who am I to complain. lol will definitely return

    Pineapple Duck Curry
    Althea L.

    We've been regulars here since the restaurant first opened, and it's always been a favorite. The food quality is consistently high, the prices are reasonable compared to other nearby Thai restaurants, and the flavors are far superior. Portions are also generous for the price. We've never had a disappointing meal, and the staff is incredibly sweet and polite. Some of our favorite dishes include: Tom Yum Soup Tom Kha Soup Curry Puffs Chive Rice Cakes Coconut Shrimp Pineapple Duck Curry Cream Shrimp Tom Yum Noodles (with glass noodles!) Chicken Volcano Pad Thai Basil Fried Rice Pineapple Fried Rice All the curries, salads, and soups! Honestly, there's no bad dish on the menu--everything is perfectly flavored. The restaurant itself is charming, with a pink, Instagram-worthy decor that might appeal more to younger crowds. Since it's near my child's middle school, we often grab takeout, stop by for a quick bowl of soup on a chilly day, or simply enjoy dining in. It has a cozy, homey feel and adds a fantastic dining option to this area.

    Thai Chive Cake
    Amanda W.

    We went back to Bangrak and introduced this restaurant to our friends and they loved it! Our friends ordered the mango salad, chicken satay and soup and we ordered the curries. All of the dishes had wonderful flavor. Overall Bangrak never disappoints!

    We had the best time in this beautiful gem. Great thai tea. The lychee iced tea refreshing and perfect. The mimosa was perfect too. The sangria was light and lovely. The chicken and shrimp dumplings was devine. Handmade and stuffed. The crab rangoon was fresh and flavorful. The chive rice cake was scrumptious and not oily. The fried tofu perfect. Good portions. Pad Rama tofu was great. Lovely peanut sauce and crispy tofu. The masam curry perfect. Phukeyt crab curry was a 10. Deep flavor, perfect spice. Bright flavor, nice lps of crab. The fresh veggies and pickled veggies and egg made this outrageous. Pad see ewe nice. The black stick mango rice was fresh. The staff was amazing, kind, helpful.

    Chicken and Shrimp Dumpling
    Joel S.

    Tried out this teeny Thai restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. It can accommodate 20 people, tops. The staff were lovely. They have not one but two lunch specials- one with two courses and one with three. My wife had the salad, which was one of her favorites. I had the excellent chicken and shrimp dumplings. For mains, my wife gave 2 thumbs up to the chicken with cashew nuts. I loved the creamy shrimp Tom Yum soup. The portions were generous. I scarfed down a potent Thai iced coffee. Prices are amazingly reasonable. This place has vaulted to the top of our Thai restaurant hierarchy. Highly recommended!

    Mango Sticky Rice
    George A.

    Walking by after work and it looked like a cute spot so I stopped. I tried the crispy tofu salad and it was yummy and healthy. For dessert, I tried the mango sticky rice per the lady's suggestion. On point too! My neighbors got the pad see ew with beef that looked good. They have lunch specials I may try soon. Friendly service. Worth the visit!

    Yesterday, along with a bunch of others, I braved the smog (blame Canada) to go to this Algerian…read moreseafood place. It was pretty quiet inside, outside of the TV playing somewhat loud highlights from the World Cup on loop (why,) with the servers and staff being helpful and friendly. In comparison to the other pick-your-own seafood spots like AbuQir or Hamido, the spices are a tad lighter here, being almost closer to Astoria Seafood, minus the olive oil. I didn't mind, though, as the fish was all fresh and perfectly prepared. To drink, our table stuck with water, though there are a few mocktails and some sodas, including some Algerian ones. They put down some simple bread with a bit of garlic and herbs, which was refilled. For non-seafood dishes, we had a few. The first was the $8 Hmiss, or Hammis, a dip made with roasted pepper, tomato, and garlic sautéed in olive oil. The warm dish was earthy and garlicky, and went perfectly with the bread, with the flavor reminding me of a warmer version of some Turkish eggplant dips. There was also the Peasant Salad for $12, with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and Kalamata olives topped with feta, oregano, and dill. If you're familiar at all with Horiatiki/Village salad, it's basically the same thing, though with crumbled feta instead of a block, and it was refreshing and tasty. Finally, we eventually got an $8 side order of Basil Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which were decent. The first seafood to arrive at the table was the $16.99 Algerian Sardines, which consisted of sardines from Morocco with a spice mixture. The man in front recommended them fried, and the portion was nice, and the flavor was excellent. The fish was fried perfectly, with the bones fried enough that the entirety of it could be eaten. This was delicious, and one of the highlights of the meal. As we loved these sardines, we eventually got a small order of the other option, the "Marinated Sardines" from Spain. These were a bit more expensive by weight, being $10.56 for 0.48 pounds, but by comparison, these were much flatter and larger. The half pound consisted of three large pieces, which were broken down and divided among the group. While I slightly preferred the spices from the Algerian version, I liked the texture of these more, as they were more meaty. I don't think you can go wrong with either, as both were excellent. There was also one pound of Mussels for $17.99, which was available in one of two cooking preparations, Moules Marinière or a version with tomato sauce, herbs, and feta. I went with the latter, and they were excellent, with all of the mussels being open. The feta added a unique, slightly salty touch, with the broth being delicious. They had brought us out some extra bread, and we made good use of it. If I were here alone, I might have this along with some sardines and leave very happy. We also got two whole fish, which were both ordered grilled and butterflied. First was the Dorado, or Orata, for $29.24 for 1.54 pounds. As is typical for this fish, it was delicate and light, but had plenty of flavor. The other was the American Red Snapper, which was a bit more expensive at $37.90 for 1.58 pounds. By comparison, this fish was a lot thicker and therefore, a bit more flavorful. We enjoyed both, with a slight preference going towards the cheaper fish for most outside of me and one other. Another highlight was the Scallops for $37.23 for 0.98 pounds, which came out to 14 large pieces. As recommended, we got these sautéed, with the scallops coming in a delicious garlicky juice on the bottom with plenty of other herbs. The scallops were tender while staying plump, though I slightly preferred the more caramelized tops at AbuQir, with these having a more uniform texture. The rest of the people liked what I couldn't eat, the $24.99 Octopus for around half a pound. The octopus came out pre-cut, which made splitting it very easy. I can't comment much on the flavor or saltiness as some other reviewers brought up, or else I'd be in the hospital right now post-anaphylaxis, but people liked it a lot. If you don't want to bother with the lines or crowds at the other fish spots, I would highly recommend going here. The fish is fresh, perfectly prepared, and seasoned just enough to highlight the natural flavors. I would go back.

    I only took a photo of the Algerian sardines, but I actually liked most of the other items we…read moreordered more! The sardines were fried well, but just not as mind-blowing as I thought they'd be judging from reviews. My fav were the Tiger shrimps (sautéed) and the branzino (grilled). You could really taste the char, and they were cooked perfectly. We also got butter garlic linguine with scallops and clams. My husband loved the linguine (and the free bread) the most. The scallops were nice and plump but could have been seared more. The clams were tiny and I wouldn't get them again. The guy behind the fish counter was great. The server however was pretty slow. We waited 10 mins after choosing our fish for just tap water and eventually I just got up to ask the guy behind the counter for water. I also had to go up to the server myself to ask for to-go boxes and the check. And I got up to give the check to them, because they still hadn't taken it after my trip to the bathroom. Place is spacious enough for a family dinner, feels welcoming enough.

But tucked away on 34th Street, Off the Hook Raw Bar & Grill proves that some things are worth it. Years later, the truth remains unchanged: this sanctuary delivers a masterclass in cozy warmth and absolute culinary respect. The lobster mac and cheese is a decadent triumph--rich and loaded. But the real revelation is the skirt steak. It carries a deeply seasoned, char-grilled crust that locks in a perfect, juicy interior. It is, without exaggeration, one of the the best damn skirt steaks you will ever encounter in this city. Decor (4.25/5): It's a small, intimate room that hits you with a cozy, effortlessly cool vibe. It also has the small outdoor patio tucked away in the back--a perfect, low-lit refuge for a summer night in Queens. Customer Service (4.5/5): The staff is exceptional. They are welcoming, professional, and move with a hospitality that keeps the room's energy completely relaxed. Food Rating (5/5): Flawless execution. The skirt steak is dialed in to absolute perfection every single time, and the lobster mac stands alone at the top of its class. Price: Around $65 per person. Worth every penny--just prepare to battle for a spot on the asphalt if you drive.

    Best Greek restaurant I've had to date!…read more Ambiance (5/5): There are a few tables inside where the decorations are white/blue to the classic décor style of Greek restaurants. There's also plenty of outdoor patio seating with cute vine/florals draped along the seating area. A little dark with the dim lighting when we dined in the evening. Service (5/5): We arrived around 8p on a Sunday evening and it was jammed packed. They had an opening right when we arrived which was super lucky. They were attentive throughout our experience. We were glad that the server's recommendations to # of plates was proportional to our needs. Food (5/5): every single dish was outstanding! The starter was a complementary hummus with the softest, moist, pita bread. I could've easily eaten this and been happy. Our favorite was the baked Halloumi with honey, fig jam and cranberries. The exterior had a nice crust from the caramelized honey. It was rich but paired well with the table pita (which they kindly refilled!!) The next item was Shieftalia pork kebabs which seems so easy but was filled with flavor from the onions and herbs. It paired well with the yogurt sauce. Lastly, we had the baked eggplant (almost reminded me of a Greek version of eggplant parm), this lacked a little flavor but still very good. Wish this dish had a bit more spice. The 3 appetizers were large in portion and enough for the 2 of us to share. We loved it and can't wait to come back!

    Recommendations from what we tried: Shieftalia, Makaronia tou Fournou, Koupepia, and Horiatiki. In…read moreshort, stick with mezzes. I found out about this Cypriot/Greek spot a while ago through the IG account TasteBuds and checked it out with one of my food groups a couple of weeks ago. The servers were friendly, and the inside, while dark, felt warm and comforting, which was especially true as I had just come in from a storm. To drink, I had a cold brew cocktail for around $18 that I can't find on the current menu. Outside of the cold brew, there was an anise/coffee liquor (I believe Sifonios Ouzo Coffee Liqueur), some type of citrus, and possibly something else, and it was very tasty. They gave us some warm bread along with, I believe, a soft fava bean spread or hummus while we were waiting for food. In terms of food, I loved the mezze here, but I prefer some other places in Astoria for fish/seafood. As the menu didn't have the Tomato Salad listed online, we instead got their version of Horiatiki/Greek Village Salad for $19 with cucumber, tomatoes, green bell peppers, red onions, barrel-aged feta cheese, and Kalamata olives. The salad had a nice block of good feta, and the tomatoes were very juicy. Overall, it was a bit better than the typical spot in the neighborhood, and we enjoyed it. Next to arrive was my favorite dish of the night, the $17 Shieftalia, listed as a traditional Cypriot sausage made of minced pork, chopped onions, fresh herbs, and spices wrapped in caul fat and grilled over live fire. The dish came with four large pieces topped with some tomatoes, with some tzatziki on the side. The sausages were very juicy and had a wonderful grilled flavor with mild spices and herbs. This was outstanding, and I highly recommend it. Another excellent dish was the Makaronia tou Fournou for $25, listed as Cypriot baked pasta with herbed meat sauce, grated halloumi cheese, and creamy bechamel sauce. It reminded me to an extent of Pastitsio, but almost more comforting. There was tender pasta, slightly salty cheese, and a rich bechamel that tied the whole thing together. The warming spices, which were presumably mixed into the meat, added new depth to the overall flavor. As described, it's a bit of a wait for this dish, but it was very much worth it. Another tasty dish was the $17 Koupepia, their version of Dolmades, listed as Cypriot vine leaves stuffed with ground pork, rice, and fresh herbs, wrapped in grape leaves, and cooked in a fresh tomato lemon broth. I preferred these over the Greek variety because the grape leaves were more tender, less overly sour, and warm. I would recommend these as well. The only mezze I disliked, mostly because of the price point, was the Shrimp Santorini for $22, listed as succulent shrimp in aromatic tomato feta sauce. The shrimp were cooked properly, and the sauce was delicious, but there weren't that many shrimp. It was good, but I would recommend spending your money on their other equally excellent mezze. Otherwise, we got two decent mains, each with a side. First was the $26 Soutzoukakia, listed as Greek baked meatballs cooked in homemade tomato sauce and served on a bed of rice with Greek yogurt and feta cheese sauce. The sauce had some cinnamon with a mild sweetness, while the meatballs were a bit less tender than the sausages. The rice was otherwise plentiful and well-cooked. There was also the Dorado Royale, or Mediterranean Sea Bream, which was $44 for 800 grams. I have had more tender and flavorful fish from a few other places nearby, but it was nice that it was butterflied without bones, outside of the head and tail, of course. For sides, I chose the Sautéed Mushrooms, which are normally $16, and the Horta, or boiled greens with Greek olive oil and lemon, which is normally $15. The mushrooms had some grilled onions and peppers, and it was a nice mix overall. The later horta, made from the typical dandelion greens, I believe, had a bit of bitterness, which went well with the other richer dishes. Overall, both mains and sides were good, but I preferred the other things. This was a very tasty place and a good replacement for an old Cypriot spot on Ditmars that closed a good while ago. Would go back to probably get their $60 mezze sampler, or just try more things from that menu.

By Ditmars standards, the place feels large and spacious. Their renovation from a few years ago is really paying off, Waiting is a part of the experience, as folks will eventually pick items from the display and cooked to their liking. It's hard to go wrong with anything on the display which for me include stheir chunky octopus tentacles, their succulent butterfly shrimp, grilled fish, and tasty grilled scallops. Service isn't the warmest, but dealing with a bunch of folks in line all day always creates a hardened attitude. Most are fluent in Arabic and English. While waiting in line, be sure to look at what's being served or have a list handy for ordering quickly. Your linemates will thank you. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/hamido-seafood-astoria-5

    Authentic Greek cuisine in a bustling environment. We got the Elliniki (Greek salad), Krya Pikilia…read more(traditional spread platter), Synagrida (red snapper), and Papoutsaki (eggplant stuffed with beef and topped with bechamel). The salad was a refreshing complement to the other dishes we ordered. My spread preferences from most favorite to least were Melintzanosalata (roasted eggplant), Tzatziki (cucumber yogurt), Tyrokafteri (spicy whipped feta), Skordalia (garlic and olive oil whipped potato), and Taramosalata (fish roe and whipped potato). Pita bread that came with it was great. The red snapper was nicely charred, seasoned well, and quite tender. Papoutsaki was the heaviest dish of the bunch but tasty too, a nice combo of flavors. They gave a complimentary semolina flour cake for dessert--pretty good albeit gritty in texture

    I had the pork souvlaki based on reviews on reddit and boy, were they right. It's been a while…read moresince I've been back here, and these skewers were tender, juicy, and seasoned and paired well with the sauce and onions, and the lima beans I got as a side. I tried my friend's green beans which were not bad, but could use more flavor. He got something that he's unsure of, seasoned beef perhaps, and it was decidedly not good. I wish I knew what it was so I know not to get it....

    Sabry's is hands down one of the best seafood restaurants I've been to. Everything tasted…read moreincredibly fresh, and you can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The grilled branzino was cooked to perfection--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, with amazing flavor. The grilled octopus was just as impressive: perfectly tender, smoky, and seasoned beautifully. The service was attentive, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great seafood!

Obviously a place for locals and enjoyed the people watching. The food, THE FOOD, however, blew us away. Fresh whole fish on display in ice, live lobsters crawling around the display, and the largest head-on shrimp I have ever eaten that I personally picked out to have cooked, along with a whole perfectly seasoned red snapper, and melt-in-your mouth eggplant with tomato. Plus some very large and juicy clams in a garlic butter sauce that you want to scoop up with a spoon! This place will forever be in my dreams and I cannot wait to go back as it will be a focal point for my next visit. Thank you! Oh, and very reasonably priced too!

The whole vibe felt warm and made it a really nice family dinner. My grandma and mom both seemed happy and enjoyed everything, which honestly mattered most. We ordered two Greek salads (definitely could've gotten away with just one -- they're huge and very shareable). We also had the Mediterranean spreads: tzatziki, eggplant, and a spicy spread. Everything was solid and great for sharing. We also got grilled octopus as an appetizer -- super tender and really well done. For my main, I had the grilled deboned red snapper -- absolutely delicious. It came with a creamy lemon sauce on the side that you can pour over the fish, plus oregano fries and grilled vegetables. The veggies were amazing, especially the grilled onions that just melted in your mouth. We also ordered takeout: kefte kebab with fries, which was maybe smaller portion but it was good flavor. For dessert we had a baklava float (I think that was the name) with coffees to finish. Very happy with the whole meal overall. Drinks at the bar beforehand were also a highlight -- sangria and a gin, lavender, elderflower, cucumber cocktail that my grandma actually loved.
