The coconut chicken broth was amazing and a must order every time. All the meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles were very fresh. There's also a dessert bar to make your own dessert. Service: 5/5 The service is extremely quick. The moment you finish a dish, they'll be over to take it off your table. Everyone's very friendly and helpful with explaining how to order. Ambiance: 5/5 The ambiance is modern, spacious, and lively without feeling overcrowded. The restaurant has a sleek setup with comfortable seating and a clean, upscale feel that elevates the typical hotpot experience. It's a great spot for group dinners, especially if you want a fun and interactive meal in a polished environment.

I went here with a few friends and it was a really nice time! They have their own parking lot but I…read moremanaged to find parking right in front. We ordered a tomato soup base which was savory and delicious and another soup base which was kinda good too. Overall I think this is a nice hot pot place, I can't say it's the best I've ever had but it's definitely one of the better tomato soup bases I've had. The meal came with a rice, meat cheese dish which I believe you just eat alone as an app, instructions were unclear so we accidentally put some of the cheese in the soup base LOL. The panda theme occurring throughout the restaurant was super cute! The meats we ordered were fine, nothing extraordinary. It's typical hot pot with a cute theme Just FYI for a couple things to note: - If you're having a birthday here they don't sing happy birthday, they just bring out the cake with a candle - sauce and dessert bar is an extra $2.99 pp - they have a partnership with tea pulse next door I believe so if you sign up for their membership program you can order bubble tea as a before or after meal treat

If you order a bok Choy skewer you get a mini bok Choy on a single skewer. If you order a beef skewer then you get a tiny sliver that shrivels up to basically nothing when it cooks. I recommend getting skewers for veggies but not for meats. They also have a BOGO promo for Budweiser and bud lights (2 bottles for $3.99). Bill for a party of 4 was roughly $280 with tax and tip.

Spring also has a really good miso broth. This place has fava bean tho, which Spring doesn't have.

The portion is small. Soup, beef noodle and fried dumplings are ok. I should have gone to the Chinese restaurant next door.

The food was good and also felt very healthy. i didn't get the typical food coma after.

Been coming to Hungry Monster for awhile now, and the food never disappoints!…read more I always order the Set A (Fatty Beef package) with no beef balls, pork bone broth, and rice cake or udon noodles. It's so good and hearty every time. Plus, it packs really well if you can't finish it! The skewers are also a must order here. I get the chicken, beef and grilled sausage skewers. If I had to choose one, I'd get the beef one. All are insanely good though. The seating inside is a bit limited (can't seat more than 4 in a party), but worth coming here to try the food at least once! It's some of the best Asian food in Little/Great Neck area.

Quaint noodle shop on Douglaston Parkway. Very spacious dining area since it took over the former…read morediner. Food is prepared pretty quick as I've done take out twice already. Menu is very limited with the protein options though with a few choices of noodles (spicy, ramen, or soup versions). They also carry poke bowls which I have yet to try. I did enjoy my beef over rice very much. Thin slices of beef, super tender and delicious. The sauce was on the sweeter side which was drizzled onto the beef as an au jus. And it came with half an egg, pickled radishes and broccoli. Another dish I enjoyed was the fish and cabbage hot pot. That was served with a bowl of rice. No noodles. Even with the spice level at "one pepper" rating, it was too much of a kick for me. But those that like spicy will enjoy it just fine. The fish pieces it came with were generous sized portions and this bowl was loaded with vegetables. Wood ear, mushrooms, cabbage, sliced white radish, and bean curd skin. It also has a few slices of spam (which I did order extra so I'm not sure if the normal is two slices). We also tried the pan fried pork gyoza which was perfectly fried on each side. Nice color. Taiwanese pork as a side comes with one pc per order. The fried chicken appetizer could use a little more spices but the chicken was so tender and very juicy. I liked it a lot. It does come with a dipping sauce which helps but I didn't use it much. All in all a good spot for take out but the menu will need to be expanded in order to have longevity. Sadly it didn't look busy each time I came to pick up. Staff is attentive and friendly.

If you get the membership (currently $28/year), it pays off after 2 visits and you get 3000 points (worth a free meal) on your birthday. I got the Gold menu (the middle option), which was enough variety for me. Honestly after a few plates of meat, they all start to taste the same so it doesn't matter what cut of wagyu you're eating. There is a buffet of vegetables and side dishes that you can help yourself to, along with a soda machine and a watered-down tea machine. Nothing too impressive here. Overall, worth visiting if you have the membership and you really know your different cuts of wagyu. Otherwise, if you just want AYCE hot pot, there are plenty of other places in Flushing.

Our daughter took us here while we were visiting NY for her graduation for Wagyu Shabu. I normally…read moredon't like places with many prices, but since our daughter chose it so we enjoy with her. The prices on the windows are very confusing and more like false advertising for me, the lower prices are for the members which we're not since this is our first time and definitely our last, unless our daughter wants to come here again. So the price is the more expensive one. For me, I prefer straight forward pricing, so this didn't give me good vibes, it's not the money, just the way they advertising and we have to know what we can only have with the price we chose. The restaurant just gives us the specific menu for what we selected to have then we don't have to be denied for what we chose because we selected gold instead of top of the line menu. The place is clean and nice. For $78/per person and only have Australian Wagyu Beef (not really Wagyu) then it's over priced. We did have some premium beef which I liked because of the marble of fat on the beef quite tender and tasty, but only a sampler or whatever they called it. Service with one person is quite inadequate but she's very attentive and pleasant, since she had to run the whole restaurant, sometimes forgets things. The tomato broth was good and everyone liked it. The seafood plate is OK and our sweet shrimps are sweet. Some snow crab legs, jumbo shrimps, fish fillets, nothing to make me go wow. The appetizers tempura is crispy and good. The raw octopus is tasty. The vegetables are fresh and clean. After they denied me the premium beef sampler, I let my daughter to order everything else and I just enjoyed with the family. My daughter seemed to be happy and ate a lot, so I was happy. I've eaten enough shabu, hot pot to know that Australian or American Wagyu are overrated, many of them are tough and chewy, not as tender as normal ribeyes or Brisket that I like. This restaurant Wagyu beef does have marbles of fat in it, so it's tender and not so chewy. So, for the GOLD menu, I don't think it's worth the $78 but for special occasions, it's OK. I just don't like the confusion of many menu, many prices, and not getting my own menu and get denied for something on the menu because I didn't pay enough.

But I do recommend coming earlier, otherwise they have a lot less food later at night. I really like their wide variety of buffet and they have quite a bit of sushi options.

Finally revisited Mizumi on Northern Blvd after many years, hoping to satisfy our sushi cravings…read more Instead, about an hour later, I was satisfying my bathroom's occupancy requirements... Let me backtrack. My wife and I arrived exactly at 12:06 PM on a weekday. The staff greeted us warmly, the place was clean and organized just like I remembered, and yes, they have high chairs for the little ones. Unfortunately, the food was a different story. Usually with AYCE, there's at least one or two dishes that make you think, "Yep, I'm going back for this." Here, nothing really stood out as delicious. They have some interesting creations, including sushi made with pesto rice, and many rolls have a Western-fusion twist. Creative? Definitely. Delicious? Not quite there for me. The hot food was okay, although some of the fried items were aggressively salty. I thought, "Let me cleanse my palate with some warm miso soup." NOPE. That was salty too. The bulgogi and kalbi were also noticeably on the sweeter side. The Korean-style wings had soggy skin. Then came the raw oyster. It did not taste fresh at all. I took half a bite, swallowed some, and immediately knew something was wrong. I had to spit out the rest. The unfreshness hit me faster than a New Yorker rushing for the subway. I spent the next hour praying I wouldn't get KO'd in the bathroom. Unfortunately, prayer was not answered. And this was my first meal of the day, so I'm pretty confident it wasn't anything else I ate beforehand. We tried to end lunch on a sweet note with the strawberry ice cream. Sadly, it tasted very artificial. At this point, I was just looking for something, ANYTHING, to redeem the meal. And the winner of the day was... The GREEN TEA in a tea bag. Seriously. That was the thing I genuinely enjoyed the most. I really wanted to love this revisit, but between the underwhelming food and the oyster experience that sent me on an unexpected bathroom adventure, I'm giving Mizumi 2 stars. Maybe it was just an off day, but I'm not sure my stomach is brave enough for a sequel.
