Team is very friendly and answered question about the menu. Got the chicken and lourou fan bento and the dry beef noodle bento. Each bento comes with popcorn chicken, tea egg, and classic side dish (braised nappa cabbage and noodle). There is also unlimited pickled cabbage, chili oil, and sweet cold tea available. Food and drink are delicious and authentic. Not sure whether dining in vs take out is more worth it for the price. For example, the chicken and lourou fan rice bento is ~$25 when dining in, but ~$16 (but no popcorn chicken, tea, etc) when taking out.

I ordered the popcorn chicken, cucumber, and pickled cabbage sauce. Popcorn chicken: 2/5 It was soggy and not that flavorful. Cucumber: 5/5 This was delicious and definitely my favorite. The cucumbers came with garlic and bell peppers and were so crisp and savory. Pickled cabbage: 4/5 Flavor-wise this was great. It was slightly sour, I just wish the cabbage was bigger.

We happened to come to this area and stumbled upon this little Korean mom/pop restaurant and are so…read moreglad we did! This place is a little of a hidden gem and not quite like other Korean restaurants. But no gatekeeping here! We also came at a weird lunch time around 2pm so it wasn't really busy and we were seated right away. Once you enter, you'd quickly notice the very detailed beautifully hand painted murals on the walls and an abundance of painted butterflies. The attention to detail is impeccable! The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

Tamashii Ramen is a place that I go to whenever I feel the craving for Japanese classics. It's got…read moresolid flavors for a good price and tasty apps. Firstly, I'd always recommend getting the Shoyu or Tamashii Ramen, unless you really prefer some other kind. In my opinion, these are the best. I've also had some other things from here, like the pork buns, takoyaki, Eel on rice, and curry. Would recommend- the Ramen, Pork Buns, Kaarage. Solid - Eel on Rice, pork katsu, takoyaki. Good for a meal but I would recommend other things first. Kinda disappointing - curry. Just tastes like regular curry that you can make at home. At some point I'd like to try the Okonomiyaki.

I was in town on a business trip and wanted some authentic Mediterranean food that was nearby. Nick's did not disappoint. I started with an appetizer of Grape Leaves. It was enough for two people. The ingredients were fresh and they were tasty. For an entree I went with a lamb gyro platter with a side of grilled vegetables. The lamb was well seasoned but not overly salty. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. The service was attentive and quick and the ambiance was casual and all local neighborhood folks. There is street metered parking available where there is no charge after 7pm on weekdays. You can use the Park NYC application.

District Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant, was a nice surprise in Astoria. I am pleased to say this…read moreplace had a great "perfect pair" lunch deal for $16. You get your choice of pho: vegan, beef, or chicken and half a sandwich of your choice. We both got the round steak pho and one traditional banh mi and one chicken banh mi. Honestly, having a half sandwich and a small bowl of pho really hit the spot and was surprisingly filling. Traditional Banh Mi: (4/5) sandwich was tasty and had the cold cuts with the pickled carrots. If they toasted the bread then I think it would make it even better. Chicken Banh Mi: (3/5) chicken had a nice lemongrass flavor but overall was just okay. The traditional one was much better. Round Steak Pho: (4/5) the broth was nice and lighter than my usual beef pho but still tasty. I like my pho with a wedge of lime, fresh basil and bean sprouts. So if they forget to give it to you, just ask for it. Although the restaurant may seem narrow but it's long and has plenty of tables in the back. The music is a little loud and club like but otherwise, I had a great experience here. So if you're in Astoria, I would highly suggest this place for their great lunch deal. Can't be beat!

Tip not included!" and presses the tip amount for me again. I ask her "Oh, are tips obligatory?". At this point I definitely didn't want to give a tip anymore. She just shouts the same thing at me again. I press no tip again, sign my signature and when I go to press confirm she presses the tip amount right before I confirm. She essentially just forced me into giving her a tip with her slight of hand, maybe hoping I wouldn't have noticed. I say "Oh really? Well, I guess we'll never see each other again." She just turns around and shrugs her shoulders. I was absolutely shocked. To top it off: Really bad food. Tiny bowl of noodles with three sad little leaves of bokchoy.

Izakaya Fuku in New York offers the kind of dining experience that feels memorable from the very…read morestart. Even before the food arrives, the restaurant leaves a strong impression with its stunning Japanese-inspired interior. The space is beautifully designed, blending warmth and elegance in a way that feels both inviting and refined. From the soft lighting to the natural wood accents and thoughtfully arranged decor, everything about the atmosphere feels intentional. It captures the intimate charm of a traditional izakaya while still feeling modern and stylish, making it a wonderful setting for anything from a casual dinner to a more special night out. The food more than lived up to the beauty of the space. One of the first highlights was the salmon onigiri, a dish that proved how satisfying simplicity can be when it is done well. The rice was soft, fresh, and perfectly formed, holding together without feeling too compact, while the salmon added a savory richness that made each bite feel comforting and flavorful. It was balanced, delicate, and deeply satisfying in a way that made it memorable despite its simplicity. The seared salmon salad was another standout. The salmon itself was beautifully prepared, with a lightly seared exterior that gave it a subtle crispness, while the inside remained tender, buttery, and smooth. That contrast in texture made the dish especially enjoyable. Paired with the freshness of the salad, it felt light and refreshing, yet still substantial enough to feel like more than just a side dish. It was a dish that managed to feel both clean and indulgent at the same time. The grilled squid was particularly impressive and easily one of the most memorable items of the meal. Squid can often be difficult to get right, as it can become rubbery or overly chewy if even slightly overcooked, but that was absolutely not the case here. The texture was spectacular--tender, delicate, and pleasantly springy without any toughness. Each bite had a light smokiness from the grill that added depth, while the squid itself retained its natural sweetness. It was expertly prepared and showcased a level of precision that really stood out. For the main courses, both the Tonkatsu Ramen and the Black Pepper Ramen delivered distinct experiences, each with its own appeal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was deeply comforting and satisfying, with a broth that had a rich, velvety texture and a full-bodied depth that coated the palate beautifully. It felt smooth, hearty, and luxurious without being too heavy. The noodles had an ideal texture as well--firm enough to provide a satisfying bite, yet soft enough to soak up the broth and integrate perfectly into the dish. Altogether, it was a bowl that felt warming, balanced, and incredibly comforting. The Black Pepper Ramen, on the other hand, brought a bolder and more assertive flavor profile. The broth had a smooth, glossy texture, and the noodles again had a pleasing chew that gave the dish structure and substance. The black pepper added an unmistakable warmth and aromatic intensity that made the ramen stand out immediately. It was flavorful and memorable, though the pepper was slightly overwhelming at times. A bit less black pepper would have allowed the other flavors in the broth to come through more clearly and created a more balanced bowl. Even so, the ramen was still enjoyable, especially for those who appreciate strong, pepper-forward flavors. Overall, Izakaya Fuku is a restaurant that succeeds on every level. The stunning Japanese interior creates an atmosphere that feels both immersive and elegant, while the food reflects a real attention to detail in both flavor and texture. From the comforting salmon onigiri, to the fresh and beautifully prepared seared salmon salad, to the expertly grilled squid with its exceptional texture, and finally the rich and satisfying ramen dishes, every part of the meal felt carefully executed. It is a place that offers not just excellent food, but a complete dining experience, and it is well worth visiting for anyone looking for standout Japanese cuisine in New York.
