The…read morefood quality has really gone downhill, and the place felt almost empty, there were only two tables occupied, including us. We ordered shak trak, gyuma, shogo katsa, and Chong Ching. Honestly, it was pretty disappointing. The potatoes were sour and didn't taste fresh. The shak trak had a weird taste and was partly cold, like it had just been reheated. The gyuma was okay, but nothing special. The Chong Ching was also disappointing, and the portion size seemed smaller than before. The customer service wasn't great either, no one checked on us during the meal, and our water wasn't refilled unless we asked. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to how it used to be.

It was my first time trying authentic Vietnamese sandwiches and they were delicious. We got the Beef Bulgogi and Lemongrass Chicken (Beef Bulgogi was my fav) but both were so rich.

There are multiple locations but if you're around Elmhurst, Queens definitely check it out if you have the chance. You won't be disappointed! One of my favorite obsessions right now.

We ordered fried shrimp chips, grilled Pompano fish, meatballs with swallowed meat, crispy chicken skin, and fried savory fishcake combo. My friend said Indonesian shrimp chips were not the same as Chinese shrimp chips. These were bigger and denser than the smaller more delicate ones I was use to. Plus the flavor is stronger. The fish was smoky, crispy on the outside moist and flaky on the inside. The meatballs had that unique texture of bouncy and chewy. It had good flavor. There were two different types of noodles in the soup that the meatballs came in. We were also surprised the fried fishcakes also came in a noodle soup. Apparently, the combo comes with noodles in soup even though that's not what the picture looked like. The crispy chicken lived up to its name; it was very crispy but not a whole lot of flavor. Still the crunchy texture made it addictive. If you like authenticate Indonesian flavors you will definitely be happy here.

Look out Katz's! I was looking for it up on the menu board, but all I saw was pastrami baos & pastrami rice box. I asked if it was still available and my man hooked me up by popping 2 thick slices of whole grain bread into the toaster and started to hand carve a big hunk of pastrami. I thought I was getting about half of what he pulled out, but he proceeded to pile it all on the bread after squirting on a slew of grainy deli mustard. He apologized for running out of pickles, but all I could think was "Take my money and gimme my sammich!" Even as I cradled the closed plastic container, the smell of hot pastrami permeated my whole bus ride home and I couldn't wait to dig into that salty, peppery crusted, fall apart tender meat sandwich. I'm sure the other people on the bus were jealous. Next time I might even try out some of the other rice & noodle dishes, but that smoky pastrami smell still lingers on in my mind.

Their sushi tasted fresh and had a great ratio of rice to fish. Their other items were good as well. My favorite item that I didn't expect was what they call the Dragon Ball. It is essentially a ball of sushi wrapped in avocado, and it was so great! Service was fast, and the atmosphere inside was comfortable. If you're looking to get as much sushi as you want for a reasonably affordable price, I highly recommend Akino!

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 7 Maybe about a dozen years ago, this place was I think $7.50 for three items over rice. Unfortunately, it is now $18 for the same meal. Still a good deal, but no longer the best bang for your buck any more. Probably why I don't visit as often nowadays. With that said, the quality is similar. Food is served on steamed trays, so you pick your choices over rice. Most of the flavors are still quite amazing, though some food lose their crispiness or a bit lukewarm sitting there. Regardless, always a good. On the negative side, the lady server is literally counting how many little shrimps are in my dish from one of my choices. It felt very odd when she took a shrimp off my plate and put it back into the tray. I asked if I could get a couple more calamari pieces and she said that she would have to remove more shrimp to do so. This was not how they use to operate, but I guess times are tough. On the other hand, I was given a lot more of the string beans with chicken liver, which makes sense since it's a cheaper protein. Btw, the fish is yummy, but you only get about 3-4 pieces. Therefore, I think you should order that item separately and not on rice if you want a decent portion. Bottom line, Khao Kang is no longer where I will go for a delicious cheap meal on regular basis. However, it is still a wonderful quick sit down or grab-n-go spot for some of the most authentic tasting Thai food in NYC for a reasonable price.

Shockingly I wasn't a big fan of the salted butter latte, which I thought would be right up my alley. The espresso was actually great, but it was a little TOO salty and buttery.

The iced Americano was solid too if you need a good option for your coffee fix. I also tried the momo dumplings & they were decent overall. It was slightly on the mushy side, but still tasted great. The space itself is pretty big with plenty of seating. There aren't many outlets though, so I'd recommend charging your laptop beforehand if you're planning to get some work done. The drinks also took a little while to come out, so service tends to be on the slower side. If you have some time & in the area, I definitely recommend checking this place out!
