    Firefly is easily one of my favorite spots right now -- the vibe, the drinks, and especially the service make it stand out every single time. The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

    Great and affordable drinks and I love the pork dumplings, and amazing service. 10/10 would recommend.

    Solid spot. They stay open very late. My group ordered a bunch of stuff and shared it. Nachos were great (bulgogi is the star), tteokbokki was spicy and delicious. Service was good, our waitress was helpful and accommodating. I'll be back again soon.

    Korean style bar restaurant with one of the best all day shot special in nyc! All day shot specials 5 for 25$-40$! I had the bulgogi quesadilla to eat and the staff is very friendly !

    Service was great, enjoyed the drinks, food, and vibes. Would recommend anyone to stop by, especially if you love cocktails.

    Amazing Food and Amazing service!!! The bartender was so sweet to me and friend and we had a great time here

    A friend here took us here to get some drinks and food. Sadly not much selection on the food side. The drinks are good though! We were hungry and didn't know plan B at the time so we decided to order whatever they had. I think it was an army stew and tater tots. The drinks aren't bad but the food is mediocre. Majority of what we ordered tasted like premade or store bought. Think we were duped from what they had before the pandemic. I do like their decor and their sense of privacy. Good for small groups. Happy hour kind of joint.

    Came in with my sister for happy hour. We had such a fun time sitting at the bar, chatting with the bar tender and some locals. The Soju cocktails were sweet and refreshing, I was a fan of the Citrus Lady. The Happy Hour prices were very good $4-$7, definitely a deal. After we ordered one glass of HH wine though we went with some specialty cocktails, very delicious!

    My pre-birthday spot #1! Luckily, my bestie Kim found a metered parking space across the street from Firefly. There was free parking after 7:00 pm #score Wow, Firefly's Happy Hour was from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm every day! If you are here for their Happy Hour, you must sit at the bar or outside. We grabbed the two emptied bar stools in front of the bar. My bestie ordered a glass of House Wine from their Happy Hour menu then we shared the Popcorn Shrimp...mmm delicious with the spicy dipping sauce! Thanks to our amazing bartender Megan for being so attentive! When the music stopped, it was so quiet. I requested for Megan to play anything from China Mac but the other customer requested Jazz...not my cup of tea! I do love talking about China Mac so check him out https://www.instagram.com/chinamac/! Thank you, Sara, for offering me some juices or iced water because she wanted me to stay hydrated. Note: You get an 8% discount if you pay in cash!

    Came here last Saturday with a few friends and I was surprised to see how empty it was. We were seated at a table - they have curtains so you have some more privacy, just like a little private booth! I saw a nice big room near the back that can sit a bigger group. Service here was excellent- our waiter was pleasant and very helpful! On to the drinks- The mojito is sooo good! My friends got the rye julep and the Negroni ... they were strong!! They do not skimp on the alc AT ALL! (Seeing some reviews about the drinks being weak.. not sure what's happening here as we had the complete opposite experience!) We also got the fries and the fried shrimp as finger foods to snack on. The fries were good but they give really little considering it's $8. Pass on the shrimp. Our second round consisted of soju cocktails- one of each- tae guk (pomegranate), citrus lady (citron), bunny hop (strawberry) and borahae (grape). Again, STRONG! All were good but I traded my grape one for my friends strawberry one, which has the strawberry ice cream in it. It ended up being super good after the ice cream melted. We got another order of fries and the rose tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was actually pretty good flavor wise. Lots of chicken in a creamy "spicy" sauce. Not really spicy. But with this dish again, it was small and I cant really justify paying $23 for it. I'll definitely come back for the drinks! Eat up somewhere else before hand :)

    Found this gem after I had some KBBQ at Ssam Tong (Go there btw). Was looking for a nice bar in Flushing to wash down all the food I ate & luckily drove past here without even looking it up. The inside is a little dark but that's how I like my lounges. The tabletops are lit up just like the bar area. I tried the Soju cocktails obviously & they were all delicious. My favorite was the pomegranate butttttttttt that Bunny Hop is a little on the wild side, like who thinks of these things? Strawberry Ice Cream in your DRINK??? Yep, let me get 2 of those thank you very much. What I love most about the inside of this place is the private booths. They know how some of yall get now that Covid season is slowly coming to an end. You might need a little more privacy to hold hands, they get it. My only regret is I didn't really order any of my go to drinks because I didn't know if they would be good here. Boyyyyy was I wrong. My last drink was a negroni & it was perfectly made. It was on par with the cocktail bars that charge you 21 dollars a drink so don't just try the soju cocktails like I did. Next time I'll try the food. In conclusion, this is a great spot to just hang out & have a drink with your friends but it is more of a date night spot. Take someone you like here & they will absolutely be impressed

    Braised Spicy Beef Short Ribs
    Victor H.

    Great place for tapas, drinks, bar food and Asian Fusion on Northern Blvd! The interior and overall layout of the restaurant and bar is designed very well. The booths are nice and private. It's a great place for date night. Their food is delicious! I really liked the braised spicy beef short ribs, which was super tender and flavored perfectly. I just wish that we had more of this. I also liked their signature burger which was marinated well. The food can be a bit pricey, but can't get over all the amazing flavors that packed into their food. Their service was also top notch! Both waitresses were super nice and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this place!

It is a bit more to the expensive side if I compare to what I will pay for a double burger and fries at Burger joint at 7th street burger. I guess i paid for the atmosphere. Service is ok. The waitress is very quiet. I dont think she spoke more than 20 words to me. Mostly nodding at my request. She did refill my water without me asking. However, she didnt bring me utensils. I had to use the toothpick that held the burger together to eat the leftover crumbs. My hands is a bit sticky and smell like barbecue sauce as a result of it. Thats why I deduct a star

The inside is absolutely beautiful and while they have tables, they also have more traditional floor seating. We got a couple bites of food to eat, some of their tea, and some cocktails.

While the persimmon cake SEEMED to be made in house, it was very clear that everything off their food menu required minimal preparation (ie. for the dumplings, it was just har cow). I also thought their cocktails were okay, and out of the three we got, none stood out to me. I did enjoy their tea, however. But, it was also fairly expensive for what it was (~$50).

I loved all of them, particularly the fruitier ones. As for snacks, we had this fried taro snack that had a crispy biscuit outer layer that was delicious. It was a bit of a sweet & savory mix, but not strong in either sweet or salty flavors. There was also this persimmon snack that was filled with nuts and other things. It was slightly sweet, very unique, and both paired well as a tea time snack. They're also open until 11:30pm! So if you want to skip the bar, I'd recommend checking out this tea spot for a nice hang out.

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.
