another good food option in lic/astoria. when i'm craving lechon and i can't get to ihawan fast enough, this is the best option. it's best to eat in while the crispy pork belly is still hot. don't forget the liver sauce!

decent food for a decent price. i also recommend the lumpia shanghai.

finally a good food option in lic/astoria!! it's not the best i've had but definitely a good food option with well balanced flavors.

my usuals are the baby arugula mimosa and the prosciutto with gorgonzola dolce and fig spread. the salad dressing can be a little too drenched but who can complain about lots of bacon and eggs?? not i. the panini is a great savory and sweet dish but can have more filling and the bread can be a little more crisp.

plus they deliver! i have choices!!!

we had the thai links, beef bone marrow, the red curry mussels, and the piggie. all had bland flavors. all were a disappointment with such high expectations of flavor explosions and texture. there was no kick in the piggie. such a great description on the menu but the dish did not live up to expectations.

i will hesitate to come back.

best deal in the city! 5 course for $55 with great portions and quality. their menu changes quite often but i am sure that the texture, balance of flavor and originality will exist in every creation.

my fave was the dessert. their popular bread pudding. i'm in love!

can't wait to go back!

only restaurant i would drive through sleepy hollow for. unfortunately, it was a special valentine's day menu which we didn't find out til we got there.

there was lamb and berkshire pork belly. both cooked very well. but there was also fish, seafood, and other items that were not the usual fare. my high point was the dessert which was full of texture and flavor. a citrus filled chocolate choux coated with chocolate crumble.

i'm giving it three stars for this menu but am excited to update next month after my full menu visit.

another reason why i am not a fan of the momofuku empire. stopped by for an early evening snack. had the hue style chicken soup and the pork & porcini terrine. the soup was bland and the terrine just wasn't good. absolute disappointment and it cost of $30 with tax and tip. gross! i could've had a great bowl of pho for $5 in a rinky-dink-hole-in-the-wall. i despise played up paces with nothing to show.

There are so many places in the city that are so much cheaper but still provide a fine dining experience with amazing tasting food.

The service is attentively rude. The staff is uncomprehendible.

They missed one of our orders and only one of the two that did come was good. But was it $6 a bite good? Absolutely not!

Beware!

love the outdoor seating. it's like a scene out of the secret garden. vines everywhere and not in a scary ruins kinds of way. never been for the hooka bar at night but will definitely check it out.

the prices are decent and so is the food. would recommend the french onion soup.

the drinks are a little pricier than food but the owner is so sweet and accomadating that he'll change your drink for you if it's not up to par.

when it comes to bubble tea, i keep it real and original. and every time i'm craving it, i go to the quickly in elmhurst. it's cheaper than all the other cafes and i still get a student discount even though h.s. was like decades ago. yikes! did i just give off my age?

i always get the original bubble tea, a red bean slush with tapioca for my beau and the fried chicken bites. yum! it's a great snack and i'm a hard core snacker!
