I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I feel others…read moreshould know. My friend and I arrived around 5:00 PM when the restaurant was completely empty. We asked if we could sit at a table toward the back--a table my friend had enjoyed during previous visits--but were told very firmly that it was reserved and absolutely unavailable. We respected that decision. What was frustrating was watching that same table remain empty for the next five hours. Around 10:00 PM, it was finally occupied by just two people, despite the restaurant having plenty of other available seating throughout the evening. The most disappointing part happened around 11:00 PM. Our waitress came over and began telling us that there was a line outside and people were waiting to be seated. She then raised her voice at us, even though we had been actively ordering the entire night. We had purchased multiple meals and bottles, had just ordered another bottle, and hadn't even finished our food or drinks. We weren't simply occupying a table without spending money--we were paying customers enjoying dinner and catching up. What made the situation even more confusing was that there were numerous empty tables throughout the restaurant. I even recorded a video of the dining room because I couldn't believe we were being pressured to leave while so many tables sat vacant. I only wish I had recorded the interaction with the waitress, because I was genuinely shocked by how she spoke to us. I've dined at many restaurants, and this is the first time I've ever had a server yell at me. We were respectful, caused no disruption, and simply wanted to enjoy our evening. No customer should been spoken to in that manner. There was also no line or anyone waiting. Unfortunately, because of the poor service and unprofessional treatment, I can't recommend this restaurant.

However, when I went recently, the service was absolutely horrible. I waited around 10-15 minutes before being acknowledged to just be seated which I thought was outrageous because there were only 3 tables at the moment. Once they seated me, they seated my nieces and I right next to the door when there were many tables still open inside the store. I understand that there were adults drinking within the store however this was one of the coldest days this winter and having kids right next to the door was a little irritating. Putting that aside, after I was seated, I did have to wait for one more person at my table so it was okay that I was never approached for my order to be taken (even though I was ready). But once the last person from my party arrived, we still waited a decent 20-25 minutes before our server asked us if we were ready to order! My sister and I were even already discussing leaving and trying other options for dinner because we saw the server only attending to the other tables or just on her phone. I understand being understaffed and I understand being busy but nothing of that matter was what was causing this lack of attentiveness. Overall, the service was absolutely not what it use to be. I do not think I will be back regardless of how much I do love their food.

Honestly my family enjoyed the food for our first time being there , however when my family and I…read morehad discussed with multiple servers about accomodations because of a medical condition ( Silent reflux ) , and asked for plain steamed chicken , they gave us the regular steamed chicken with the shaoxing wine and scallions. Don't get me wrong that's a great dish for someone who can eat it. But it felt very unprofessional. As a family we even pre planned what we were going to order , we even came at a less busier time. I get that restaurants like this prepare things ahead of time , but it's disappointing to see that accomodations for medical conditions are not much of a priority here. Food is an experience everyone should be able to enjoy, including those with medical conditions. It was disappointing that our request for a medically necessary accommodation wasn't fulfilled.

It isn't just a restaurant; it's a cathedral of consumption. Look up quickly at that ceiling, a massive, radiating sunburst of gold and crystal chandeliers draped in waterfalls of white string, call it "sungold".. It's theatrical. It's loud. It's completely uncompromising and visually energetic and right up on your stuff. ​People think fine dining is about snooty & hushed dining rooms, white linen or silk tablecloths, and waiters moving like iceskating gohsts. That'sghosts. Real gastronomy is about energy, precision, and respect for the ingredient.ls. And here, in a cavernous banquet hall in Queens packed with hundreds of people clinking teapots and hailing steam carts, there is an absolute purity of discipline. ​I sat down, and within thirty seconds, the assault began. ​First came the Siu Mai. Look at the structure. Most chefs get lazy they pad the filling with filler, turn the pork to rubber, and overcook the shrimp until it loses its soul. But here? You bite through that paper thin yellow wrapper, and there is an unmistakable, violent snap of fresh, sweet prawn bound with perfectly seasoned pork. It's juicy, rich, and utterly balanced. No nonsense. Just technique. ​Then, the Har Gow. The true test of any dim sum kitchen. If the translucent skin sticks to the bamboo steamer or tears under your chopsticks, the kitchen has failed. Period. But when the basket opened, the steam rose with that clean, pure scent of rice starch and sweet seafood. The pleating on the dumpling was flawless tight, delicate, holding together a filling of whole, pristine shrimp that tasted like they were swimming an hour ago. ​And the atmosphere? Pure theatre. The carts weave through the room like a well-drilled brigade during a Friday night rush. The giant LED screens blaring event packages in gold and crimson, the hum of conversation, the crack of crispy pork belly skin three tables over, it's alive. ​Most people come to places like this and just see a crowded room. I see conviction. I see chefs back in that kitchen who understand that simplicity is the hardest thing to master. You cannot hide behind a fancy reduction or a sprig of chervil here. The dumpling is either perfect, or it's garbage. ​At Royal Queen, it's extraordinary. Pure, unadulterated passion on a bamboo steamer. Perfection.

You get quite a few choices of meat, and for 20 bucks you really can't expect more. There are banchan, rice, soup, fruit and simple desserts too. The problem is, for lunch you only get 60 minutes. They send you the check when your 60 minutes are up and you can finish what's left at your table. It's really rushed, imo, especially because their grill is very small (for 4 people!) and you can only fit so much each time.

I had guacamole, cooked salmon and steamed clams which aren't foods that come to mind when you think of Korean food but still enjoyed them regardless. The Korean bbq items here were pretty bad, the beef, especially, the bigger cuts, were extremely tough and chewy, I would stick to the thinner cuts here as quality and tenderness might not be such an issue with these items. The pork options were much better, but as I went for the beef options first, I couldn't fully enjoy the pork options. Come here for a no frills, cheap ayce lunch meal, but expect some of the worst quality cuts of beef you've ever had.

The complimentary bread was served with a very creative trio of spreads: butter, a sweet plum sauce, and a sweet vinegar reduction. It was an unexpected and delicious start to the meal. The sushi rolls were the highlight. The fish tasted great, the avocado was generous, and the ingredients were well balanced. We also really enjoyed the Mito Ribs, Tuna Tartare, Black Sea Bass, Teriyaki Chicken, Mito Fried Rice, and Cobb Salad. The ribs were rich and flavorful, while the tuna tartare was refreshing and beautifully presented. The sea bass had nicely crisped skin with thick, tender meat. Overall, Mito offered a lovely atmosphere, attractive presentation, and a wide variety of enjoyable dishes. It was a great choice for our birthday celebration, and I would gladly return for the sushi and several of their signature dishes.

The wonton soup was very good, I enjoyed the little mushrooms in it. The crispy rice sushi, was amazing! I was worried I wouldn't like it but honestly was the best thing I had. And for the sushi rolls, they did mess mine up and give me the wrong ones but they were good otherwise. It was a nice time. They do serve French fries as well for the kids.

It was three oysters, similar to Crown Shy except I wasn't a huge fan of the flavoring here. The nigiri sauce didn't really elevate the flavor of the oysters much as they're already a slightly salty food and a soy sauce sort of just added more salt to it. I think a bit more kick was needed to enhance the flavor profile. The handroll set was pretty good, I liked the spicy tuna the best, then the salmon and then the yellowtail the least. In order, I'd probably give the spicy tuna a 9/10, salmon 8/10 and yellowtail 7/10. However, the tiramisu was fantastic, one of the best tiramisus I have had, creamy, good notes of coffee flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Our server was also very friendly, she showed us how to properly eat the handrolls which was nice. The place also has a nice vibe to it, very relaxing and not too loud or overly grand.
