    French Fries, Pork Belly Bao, Fried Shrimp Basket
    Natasha T.

    Came in with my daughter after finding it on Google maps. I believe it was the grand opening. We came in for the drinks but ended up trying the food. We got fries, pork bao buns and shrimp with rice. Delicious ! The store was slightly busy, but the two workers handled it with ease.

    Brown Sugar Bubble Tea

    Was looking for a boba place in the UES and so glad that Bobafish was nearby. Upon walking in, the worker greeted us and we looked at the menu. I decided to get the brown sugar boba because it is a common classic. I was surprised that they used a milk tea base and not just regular milk. The boba was perfect and chewy. Very delightful and sweet. I thought it was a pretty good bubble tea. The service was solid and the ambiance was very nice. It is a very small and quiet shop, so I hope it gets a lot more traction! Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

    Mango Milk Tea

    I checked out Bobafish and I'm glad it's now in the neighborhood! Prior to Bobafish I wasn't enamored with the bubble tea options in this area. The people at Bobafish were super friendly and my mango milk bubble tea was really delicious! It was not overly sweet. The Boba was prepared well and it was soft throughout. The price was reasonable ($6.50) and the tea was a very large size. I'll be back!

    Taro Milk Tea
    Taylee M.

    Really, really good milk tea and boba --especially, for the UES! The taro was amazing and not too sweet, the boba was perfectly chewy. The prices and service are great! It's a nice little spot to meet with friends. I wanted to like the brown sugar milk tea more, but the tea was pretty strong for my preferences. Good news if you like strong tea!

    Got the boba here and it's a good price for what you get. The flavor is on the sweeter side which is what I was looking for and my order was made fast.

    I love this place! A small family owned location, great staff and a wide selection from food to boba teas/smoothies! I will be back.

    This establishment is a nice addition to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, helpful, and courteous. The Milk tea is excellent. I highly recommend this place for Boba.

The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.

I didnt love the seasoning on the fry but after a squeeze of lemon I was much happier. I also noticed they use the same seasoning mix are most of their fish. Thats partially why I says the seafood shines because its all seasoned the same lol. The staff were very friendly. It all just went so smoothly.

The atmosphere is effortlessly comfortable -- the kind of place where you just know everything coming out of the kitchen will be fresh. And it was. We started with an assortment of traditional spreads: taramosalata, tzatziki, tyrokafteri, skordalia, and melitzanosalata, all served with warm, pillowy pita. Each one was vibrant and flavorful -- perfect for sharing (or not). Then came the feast: marinated and grilled squid, swordfish steak, red snapper, lamb chops, crispy potatoes, and more sides than we could reasonably justify ordering... but absolutely did anyway. Our waiter thoughtfully asked if we had any allergies. By the end of the meal -- slightly comatose, blissfully full, and having completely lost track of time -- we realized the only thing we might be allergic to is work. Bahari isn't just lunch -- it's an escape.

However, since we came on Valentine's Day, I noticed that many couples were given roses as they walked in. My partner, who was the only Black woman in the restaurant, did not receive a rose when we entered. At the time, we didn't think much of it and continued with our dinner. As the evening went on, though, we saw more couples come in and receive roses. Some of these couples were seated next to us, which left a bad taste in my mouth. I can't help but wonder what criteria the restaurant used to decide who received a rose and why so many couples who arrived after us were given one. Unfortunately, this experience spoiled my enjoyment of the restaurant and left me feeling conflicted. We ordered plenty of food, left more then 20% tip and if anyone from the restaurant sees this please reach out, if there was some criteria that needed to be met to receive a rose I would love to know

We ordered the octopus and lamb chops. The octopus was incredibly tender, the meat was very soft - I personally would've preferred a little more bite to it, but it still tasted good. The lamb chops were flavorful. The medium here is on par with medium rare at most other places, and one of our pieces was borderline rare. At the end of the meal we were also offered complementary desert, which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our meal overall, but just know that it's a little on the pricey. The octopus and lamb chops came out to $80~ pre-tax and tip. Would recommend if you're a fan of seafood!
