Unfortunately this review is probably a day late and, from the restaurant's perspective, a few…read moredollars short because word hit Instagram that they are closing at the end of the month. ( https://www.instagram.com/p/DQF8Gzekcks/ ). It is a shame because, besides myself, I know a few people that aren't in the neighborhood that travel regularly to G&L. Also its surprising because every time I go the place is pretty packed and occasionally there is a wait. What's also a shame, for me, is that on my recent visit my friend ordered the Steamed Seafood in Lemongrass and this is perhaps the top, or one of the top dishes on the menu. The seafood flavors and balances the slightly spicy lemongrass broth making this a crave worthy bowl. I ordered something out of my wheelhouse - the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which on online order menu states its a popular dish. I couldn't see why this dish is so popular because I find other items on the menu superior. They make a tasty pho (especially when paired with a marrow bone). Their sandwiches are well made - I enjoy the different fish ones. I think their Vietnamese coffee could use some work - it is blander than other versions I had tried. Don't be too sad and maybe feel a little optimistic because owner Petra Rickman has a great track record opening interesting, in demand restaurants (This one and Taco Azul have been longtime go-tos in Whitestone). Additionally G&L has a 2nd location with the same menu in Manhattan, which unfortunately for a Queens boy like myself is a bridge too far and a congestion pricing too high for me to make the trek.

This used to be my favorite sushi spot by my grandma's and we used to go every time I visited! She…read morejust came back from Europe so we went for our usual dinner date and brought my boyfriend this time (both raving about the food) but I'm disappointed to say that the quality has gone down immensely. There used to be a line out the door on a Saturday evening; however we walked in and the place itself was empty. I was shocked. The lady up front was a bit rude to us; my grandmother is not the fastest walker but I don't understand why an eye roll walking us to the booth was necessary. As for food, we had some apps - the Kani salad felt frozen? not fresh at all :( The rolls weren't as tasty as they used to be, the chicken teriyaki had a stench to it & the regular chicken fried rice was very salty. Tasted like there was MSG. We all went home and felt sick that night & the day prior. I'm really upset at the decline ; hopefully they will make some improvements and rise back up; but for now - I will not be returning.

I always had a great experience here so I knew I could trust them to cater such a significant event. First, Kathy, who I exchanged multiples emails with, was always very quick and informative whenever I had any questions. She let me come by the day before to drop off the party decor and other belongings which helped a lot. The two servers/bartenders, whose names I forgot to get, were the absolute sweetest and very efficient throughout the whole event. All the guests complimented the food and left with a full stomach. 100% recommend this establishment for a date night, girls night out or a private event!

Started off with a Tsingtao (Chinese Beer) smooth and refreshing, a solid choice with hibachi. There was a bit of a wait for the chef to come out, but once he did, it was totally worth it. He struck the perfect balance--entertaining without overdoing it. We ordered the steak, scallops, lobster, and shrimp, and everything came out cooked perfectly. Portions were generous enough that we even had leftovers to take home for the next day, which is always a plus. I really liked the light-up hibachi tables, a nice modern touch. The restaurant wasn't crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable, and the service throughout was good. Overall, the place looks great, the food was on point, and the vibe was just right. We'll definitely be back.

They've kept up by offering decent Asian inspired apps and entrees. At the tail end of Covid they pivoted to include Seafood Boils as an option. Not a fan of boils so unsure how that option is going. Another option, Hibachi, which we also are not big fans of, unless forced upon us by friends or family. Is prepared on these red glowing tables and appears to appeal to the masses, so that's a good thing. During our visits, generally on the early side of dinner hours, service has always been attentive and our meals, most often than not are prepared as expected. There has been the occasional slight hiccup while dining in or when ordering for delivery, but nothing major. The aesthetics of this place continues to appeal with their colorful facade. And their interior is just as inviting with ambient lighting of red hues throughout the restaurant, enhancing the Asian inspired statues and textured wall designs. It's nice that Ikko has kept up with this large piece of real estate, providing decent meals and continuing to keeping themselves relevant within the neighborhood.
