In the winter months the taco joint inside Rockaway Beach Surf Club becomes a ramen joint…read more It was like a Portlandia episode when we realized this. "Oh, yeah, it's Ramen now." At $12 for vegetarian ramen and $14 for meat (+2 for egg) it was a bit of a bait and switch feel because there aren't many eating options in Rockaway Beach, much less in December, BUT it was really, really good. Service was pretty quick, too. High quality larger noodles. Flavorful broth. The tofu was on point. 2 large slabs. Could have a handful more of the sliced sweet potato topping but nonetheless it was piping hot and filling. Quality ramen, too. None of the stringy stuff. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bar inside. Call ahead for the hours in the winter time.

If only, They had…read moregotten my order right, Were able to give you a spoon for the soup (a teaspoon for soup works, but isn't ideal) And tried to take care of their customers, It would have been a better experience. The noodles were good. Rice or buckwheat in a bowl bathed in meat broth or vegetarian broth. Three veggies and then scallions, onions and cilantro. Food was good. The Dive Boroughs Dood Hall is still in process. The bar wasn't open, the taco truck and Greek places were.

So I got the sweet and sour pork and fried rice with soba noodles salad. What a mistake. Everything was overcooked, and virtually tasteless. I paid $12 bucks to eat a plateful of a dish that was sometimes tough (the pork) sometimes mushy (the soba) and sometimes soggy (the rice) and at all times flavorless. I guess I didn't get sick yet. So thats prolly the silver lining. I hope that's the silver lining.

Compared to its surrounding restaurants, this place is way easier to get a seat at and tends to have fairly quick service. The QR codes make it super easy to get your order in ASAP which helps. For those anti-QR code, you can always ask to waiter to take your order and pay with cash. Yesterday when I came in I got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a Monster Roll. The wine was great and not too $$ considering it's airport booze. I've gone for this roll several times and yesterday's was a bit fishier than it normally is, but still great. If you're in JFK this is a GREAT spot to get work done, get a full belly, and patiently await your boarding time somewhere besides your crowded gate.

I was staying overnight at the nearby TWA Hotel and needed a quick dinner before heading back to…read morethe hotel for rest. Walked across the foot bridge which easily connects T5 to my hotel, there are a few eateries in the terminal including a Food Hall, I seen other restaurants, none of them appeals to my cravings. Wasn't in the mood for salad bar, pizza or burgers either. Sitting at the bar is easiest to get in and get out quickly. Service can be either hit or miss and also not consistent in service, especially during the dinner rush hour may not be the best timing. However, this one night I have discovered that the Bar is hiding its best service. Waitress was friendly and efficient as customers waiting for seats or takeout orders. As busy as JFK is, never did I feel rushed. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed QR Codes on the counter for you to order from. Was a little sticker shocked at the prices on the menu, but what can I expect? It's NYC. All I ordered was gyoza and fried rice. Food came out in about 10 minutes or so. While I sat at the counter, I stared at the 3 TV screens avoiding the chaos of the airport. What really stood out to me was the liquor selection but was extremely tired to have had any type of alcohol with my dinner. Food was okay, but hot from the kitchen. Would I come here again? Probably not.

Their soft tofu stew is so good. It had pickles, kimchi, cauliflower, broccoli, snap peas, onion, and carrots in it. The soft tofu was fresh! I think the peas, onions, kimchi and pickles were fresh. But the cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots were frozen. To be fair, it's at an airport so I expect airport quality food. And this food was really good for what it was. The soft tofu stew was about $13 and came with a 12 oz. cup of rice. The rice was a bit on the soft side, but it was steamy and hot. The stew was very comforting and hearty. This meal will definitely satisfy your hunger. I wish there was a bit more soup in the bowl, but I noticed they switched containers, and some of the soup leaked in the bag. I noticed in previous comments, lots of people complained about the sushi. I haven't tried the sushi, but I notice they make the sushi fresh now, and you have to ask for it. So maybe it's better now. They also have instant ramen cups, lots of drink, snacks, and ice cream! This place is a one shop shop for all your needs. They have gum, over the counter meds, snacks, drinks, and hot foods. I like visiting this place before a flight, you will be in a better mood after getting food from this place. I definitely recommend this place if you find yourself in Terminal 1!

I was looking for something at least relatively healthy, as JFKs food selection is ABYSMAL. I have no portion control and have been doing this thing where I starve myself all day until dinner, so this was my first meal of the day at 8:30pm. It ran like $20 for chicken, cabbage, rice, black beans, and some salsa. I was SHOCKED when it wasn't half bad. There was an ample amount of chicken, I was expecting like 3 pieces. My only complaint was some of the rice was super hard and overcooked and got stuck in your teeth, but I've had MUCH worse meals at airports. I'mma run this back on my next flight out of JFK...

The portions are a bit smaller, as most sushi rolls come with four pieces, and the prices are on the higher side. However, the quality makes it worth it for me.

And no visit is complete without their fried ice cream, it's absolutely delicious and one of my favorite desserts. Overall, great sushi, reliable quality, and a place I keep coming back to.
