    So cute! I love the aesthetic and the food! The Thai iced tea is a must order. It comes with an ice cube in the shape of a bear (filled with Thai iced tea). You can't get that anywhere else! We ordered the lychee duck curry and the pineapple fried rice. Food came out quick. Service was excellent. The ambiance is also stunning! I love the hanging flowers. Will definitely be back.

    Had a wonderful experience here. The appetizers are super cheap. Customer service was on top of everything. They even made me a drink that wasn't on the happy hour menu. The happy hour is great too. This place definitely passes the vibe check. The place wasn't too loud or anything, I think we were the 1st customers. I'm happy it was cool in temperature. They definitely deserved the 25% tip. I'd definitely make this a starting off place before heading to a dinner. Wish I lived closer I'd have their appetizers for lunch on the daily. Those fried oysters did not disappoint. ::bathroom alert:: Clean bathrooms. I appreciate the nice smelling soap. I love the decor of the place, its floral and just beautiful. Such a chill spot to go. I absolutely love the fish tanks.

    Went to Hero Thai for dinner on a Sunday and it was a nice, easygoing experience. It wasn't too busy, which was a plus. We had the chicken pad see ew and the garlic fried rice with shrimp, both were good and flavorful, no complaints. Nothing over the top, just solid Thai food that hit the spot. Would definitely recommend and would go back.

    Always enjoy coming to Hero as there's never a wait, service is prompt, and the food is always consistently good. They have expanded their menu to a more "Pan Asian" style, but I stick to the Thai items which never disappointed. If you're vegetarian, they have a number of pant based meat products to give you your protein options. Nice and cool ambiance.

    Festive decoration..look to your right wall, its japanese pictures and decoration, to your left, is thai posters. Servers were really nice, food was pretty good. Good value. Recommending this one!

    Delicious lunch and great price starts at $11.50 entree comes with soup or salad and an appetizer. I opted for the salad & crab Rangoon - then really enjoyed the tofu tom yum noodle soup! My husband got the curry pork katsu and we also got mango sticky rice to try (thought this was okay for the price, the rice wasn't sticky enough bland didn't really taste like dessert). I enjoyed the lychee Thai tea and the Thai coffee came with a little frozen coffee ice bear. Staff was so friendly and attentive, I enjoyed the experience and will be back again.

    Went here on a random Wednesday night for dinner. We were greeted by friendly servers who sat us right away. We ordered the shoyu ramen, shrimp tempura, and the tom yum soup with shrimp. The ramen had a nice light and flavorful broth. The tom yum soup was packed with flavor and spicy just the way I liked it. The shrimp tempura was okay--it was a bit heavy on the breading. Our waitress was warm and friendly and checked up on us frequently. Overall a pretty solid place.

    A lovely Thai, Japanese eatery on the beaten path that is never too loud or crowded. The food and service are top tier and their variety of options are astounding. Would recommend any of the wok noodles, ramens and soups in particular! Also really enjoyed their curry options which are so comforting and savory! Highly recommend for lunch and dinner.

    This place is the best , great food and drinks , have  to try the Thai herbal shot , super strong and tasty:)

    Really great food! I was tired after a long flight and needed sustenance. The khao soi and duck roll hit the spot! And arrived so quickly on DoorDash. Thank you! I'll come visit soon

    Came here with my boo for a lunch date. We thought the lunch specials were only on the weekdays but it's also on weekends so that was a nice start. They go on from 12:00 to 4pm. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day, we didn't order any appetizers since the special already came with an appetizer+ soup or salad. We ordered a crispy spring roll and the gyoza. For our entrees we both got the chicken pad Thai. Everything was super delicious and fresh and served super fast. This place was very impressive, the inside is beautiful and inviting and very clean. It opened in 2018 and survived the pandemic so it's doing something right. Can't believe I'm just hearing about it now and I've lived in Astoria 20 years now. What a find. Def going back to try different things. Great service + good prices too.

    My friend and I was craving Thai food and decided to check out the spot. Appetizers: their fried chicken gizzards was perfectly battered and the sauce was delicious, we also had their duck rolls. Entrees: Mock duck with eggplant, who knew a vegetarian dish could be this tasty. Their seafood Tom yum is also a must try. We had to get their mango sticky rice and it was delicious as well. Service was attentive and friendly. We can't wait to come back! Super laid back ambiance as well.

    Duck Roll
    Taylor W.

    We got the Duck Roll, Khao Kao Soi Ramen, Crispy Spring Roll, Crispy Duck Salad w/ Mock duck, Vegetable Dumplings, Fried Chive Pancake, Crab Rangoon, Salmon Mango, Green Curry, takoyaki, and thai iced tea. This place has amazing appetizer options! I really loved the duck roll, which is duck wrapped in an asian pancake. It was my favorite appetizer. The fried chive pancake was also very good and crispy. Most of the appetizers came out hot and crispy; however, those two dishes were my favorite of them all. The Khao Kao Soi Ramen was an interesting combination of thai khao soi with Japanese ramen. It was good but very heavy. I was able to finish it after having the appetizers. The salmon was moist and flavorful. The green curry were also very good and on par with other places serving similar dishes in the area. Service was great. We had a large group and they were very accommodating. I do recommend making reservations ahead of time if you have a big group.

    This Japanese spot is right next to the 7 train, at the first stop in Queens. The interior is cozy,…read morewith lots of seating, and service is good (although they REALLY do try to upsell you on things, even after you said no multiple times--ie. additional toppings, drinks, desserts, etc.). They also have an ice cream shop here (Taku Parlour) that is available (but unfortunately, sold out when we went). We got their soy garlic wings and their ramen. Their wings were good but a lot of the pieces were really small. And, although the pork chashu in the ramen (I got their wantan men) was super soft and tender, I felt that the ramen was way too salty for me. Moreover, it doesn't come with an egg and if you do decide to get an egg add-on for $3, it comes in an egg cup and hard-boiled (as opposed to in the ramen and jammy/soft-boiled). Overall, I thought it was an alright spot, a bit pricer, and I'm not sure I would come back for their food.

    OK. This won't take long. Fabulous…read more Fabulous meal and fabulous service tonight (Sunday). Three of us came at 6:30 pm and were promptly welcomed. I ordered the Dinner sushi combination D - tuna, salmon and white tuna. It came with a not-so-small small garden salad in a decent dressing. One of my table mates got the Bento box with teriyaki salmon and the other got two rolls (Spicy Girl and Cucumber, Avocado, Jalapeño and Scallion). We also ordered a shrimp shumai appetizer (six small, tasty shumai in the serving). Everything was delicious. And the service was outstanding. To be honest, initially we thought we were being rushed because the server came by repeatedly to remove empty plates and the wrappers from our chopsticks - but we quickly realized that this was really extremely attentive and great service. Throughout the meal, our water glasses were refilled numerous times and we were not rushed at all. After our leisurely meal, we ordered a Green Tea Mille Crepe and an order of fresh fruit. The crepe was very good, although the topping of green tea was a bit thick for us and we scraped it off and ate the rest. The fruit was fresh and delicious. We truly felt very welcomed and valued as customers here. We didn't drink anything other than water, so our bill was only about $100 (before tip) for the 2 hours we were there, but even as we left we felt valued by the serving staff and sushi chefs. An excellent meal and experience.

    Hibino is one of my favourite restaurants in LIC. I love that they offer their lunch specials even…read moreon weekends. I always order their "obento box", which comes with a choice of an entrée from their daily-rotating list (so cute how they write them on a few chalkboards that they move around the restaurant for whoever's ordering). Everything I've ordered has always been delicious, from the various fish dishes (salmon / arctic char are particular favourites), the stir-fried pork, and their sushi rolls. The salad is invariably so fresh, and the small side of obanzai is always a treat :) Price point is unparalleled -- I think the bento was priced at $12 when I first came a few years ago, and it's still $12 now. Such a lovely cute restaurant -- service is fast and friendly, and the interior, while a bit small, is definitely very cosy and has that unique rustic Japanese aesthetic to it (including a lot of their tableware). This is definitely a must-try in the area, and I will no doubt be back very soon!

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 I have to preface that, if I had reviewed Hibino in the past, they likely would have received 4 stars. Unfortunately, my latest experience was such a letdown that I have to average that into this review. My usual order here over 10+ years has always been their Kaisen Don, which had some of the better quality sushi rice available in Queens. If you don't think sushi rice is important, then skip my review. If you do, then know that my preference is slight warm rice that does not clump together, with a nice touch of vinegar. Hibino seems to get this part right regularly, but not this past Sunday. It was cold, clumpy, and super light on seasoning. Furthermore, as soon as the bowl arrived, I was a bit skeptical since it's not the usual square box filled with premium goodies. Instead, it was a smaller round bowl with relatively common pieces of sashimi. In the past, there were toro, ikura, uni and scallop, but none were present on Sunday. The only premium pieces I received was the spotted prawn. The rest were salmon, yellowtail, bluefin tuna, sea bass, and arctic char. More importantly, some of the sashimi pieces were somewhat mushy and slightly fishy, not the best quality. On the other hand, we also ordered their Chirashi, which had seared toro, yellowfin tuna, salmon belly, yellowtail belly, shrimp, and flying fish roe. Between the proteins and rice is a layer of shredder egg. Sadly, rice was still cold and lacked flavor, but the egg did help a bit. Though I prefer the thin slices of sashimi in the Kaisen Don over the chunky pieces of fish in the Chirashi, I did prefer the latter on that day. Bottom line, I will give them another chance, but the downgrade on the quality of rice and premium seafood in the Kaisen Don was a major disappointment. Praying my next visit restores my faith in the restaurant.
