    Seafood rice dish
    Joseph K.

    Could eat here everyday Such a vast variety of dishes. The soup was so light and refreshing was warmed it would be spicy the heat was the perfect blend with the seafood rice dish I had they complimented each other Such a tiny space. The wait person was shy at first but when I sat and drank and ordered She was so happy and sweet. Another plus to the place. Like I said it's a small space ace perfect for a dinner alone and break from a hard day. A first date or even to try a different culture in food. Sound level almost soothing Check it out in a small diamond in Jackson Heights

    I was very sad when I found out that Somg Pong had closed but was excited to try this new restaurant. I came here for lunch with my boyfriend and we both ordered their lunch specials. We ordered a Thai iced tea to share and it was delicious and refreshing. I ordered their Thai mango shrimp bento box which included edamame, vegetable soup and shumai. The shrimp was bland and nothing exciting. The vegetable soup was very tasty. My boyfriend's beef pad Thai was also bland and the noodles were falling apart. I would give this restaurant another opportunity since it is new to see if they heighten the flavors.

    Lychee juice and Chicken Teriyaki.
    Danny S.

    Service was great, the cashier was very patient. The restaurant feels very relaxing. I enjoyed the Teriyaki chicken, the chicken to rice ratio was very pleasing. The added soup and Lychee juice were very good too. The only complaint I have is they went a little overboard with the Teriyaki sauce on the chicken it tasted too sweet sometimes. Ultimately, I recommend this place. I left full.

    Chicken pad Thai

    Worst service ever. Woman at the front couldn't be bothered when I said "excuse me" to ask her for something. She walked right past me and said "it's almost ready" without even facing me to reply rudest person ever.

    Both my partner and I have been going to Buddha Asian for quite some time now. We usually come here to get our Thai food fix and the establishment hits the spot every time! Their Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup (my partner likes ordering it, it has a spice kick and the udon tastes delicious) are very appetising and appealing. The service is exceptional and it makes you feel like at home as the place is not that big. I especially like the ambiance as well as the decor inside is very nicely put together! Joy is also a great person and she does an amazing job overall!!

    Crab Pad Thai
    Stephanie D.

    Amazing food and service here! The restaurant is small but has very cute decor. The waitress and cook were very accommodating. We wanted to try the steamed buns which came in orders of 2 but we had asked if we can mix them (one red bean steamed bun + one pork steam bun), at first they told us no but the waitress went ahead and asked the cook and he said ok! We definitely appreciated the accommodation and enjoyed eating each steam bun. The crab pad Thai was flavorful and filling. My bf was extremely satisfied with the drunken noodles. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood! They also have lunch specials!

I was skeptical because they barely have any customers every time I walk by it. The inside is lit up very very brightly and modern R&B is playing loudly. The vibes are so mixed for a sea food place... I immediately wanted to leave, but my friend convinced me to stay. We were seated, and ordered x1 peach and x1 strawberry lemonades ($6.75 each) which were probably the highlight of our meal; x1 Fisherman's Platter with Sweet Potato Fries ($29.95) - bleh, I usually enjoy a platter but not even a fish tasted good... my friend who eats sea food almost daily also did not like the platter; x2 1/2 Dozen Fresh Oysters ($33.90) - I actually enjoyed them that is why we ended up ordering x2; x1 Garlic Bread ($4.95) - my friend liked it and I didn't. I wanted an alcoholic drink, but this location doesn't have its liquor license yet - they only serve wine and soju which I wasn't in the mood for neither. The service was good. Our waitress was attentive and fluent about the menu. We gave this place a try... but wont be back (maybe for the lemonades) ... just not our cup of tea I guess.

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.

The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.

The salad is simple and good, the rice is fine, scallops were buttery. I wish the scallop had a little bit more of a crust but thats splitting hairs. The snapper was really well cooked. 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.

If we wanted to get a table in the main dining room, the wait was estimated to be over 2 hours (we went around 8pm), so I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to go.

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!

The Sweet and Sour Pork Chop (3/5) had potential, but each piece was sliced too thin and over fried, making the whole thing unnecessarily crispy instead of tender. The Fish Maw Soup (3/5) lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. Chicken fried rice (2.5/5): tasted like what you would expect, Americanized fried rice The Highlights: The Mayo Shrimp (3.5/5) was a better dish; we appreciated the nice crispiness, and it was an interesting take to serve the mayo on the side.
