We asked about happy hour since Instagram said they had it, but turns out it's not a thing anymore. They owned the miscommunication and took care of us, offering $8 wine, discounts on a couple appetizers, and even a complimentary extra glass of wine to make it up. We ordered a few things off the tapas menu. The popcorn chicken, the octopus, uni and foie gras, short ribs, and beef tacos. The short ribs leaned a bit dry, but everything else was on point. Standout by far was the uni and foie gras. A little pricey for 4 pieces but very delicious. Big shoutout to the 2 staff on site, very friendly, warm and responsive throughout. I would recommend Tavern 157 if you're in the area looking for something casual with good drinks and food and not in the mood for Korean food. Just double-check happy hour before you go, as they mentioned a new one may be coming. Overall, a really enjoyable first visit.

My son have been wanting yakiniku (Japanese-style grilled meats over a flaming charcoal grill) ever…read moresince we had it last year at their East Village location. It was definitely a memorable experience... We decided to give their Flushing location a try & it did not disappoint. Our server, Nicholas, provided us with exceptional service. He was very friendly, helpful & super attentive. We opted for the premium + ultimate AYCE, which has 65 items. All the food came out quick- one after the other. The meats were marinated perfectly, fresh quality cuts, flavorful & tender, they cook fast too. Everything was sooo delicious. My son loved the beef tongue (I wasn't a fan) as well as every single beef item he ordered. I especially loved the hirami skirt steak, toro beef & kalbi chuck rib. I also really liked the cheese corn butter & matcha mochi ice cream. This is 1000x better than Korean BBQ. We can't wait to eat it again:]

Really solid Sichuan food at fair prices, and the portion sizes are enormous…read more Mung bean jelly - pleasant texture and flavorful chili oil. Thousand layer pancake - super crispy and flaky, though pretty oily when it first came out of the fryer. After sitting for a few minutes, it made for a nice accompaniment to the other dishes. Mapo tofu - decent, but I've had better elsewhere. It was pretty spicy and numbing. Eggplant in garlic sauce - nicely balanced with slight sweetness and mild heat. Eggplant with fresh chili - my favorite dish by far. The eggplant is in a sour and savory sauce with a vegetal green chili paste over the top. Absolutely delicious. Egg fried rice - perfect with all the other dishes, and a pretty large portion. The total came to about $100, but this way too much food for 3 people. This was a solid choice for the neighborhood.

This is a well known Sichuan spot in flushing with many mentions in the Michelin guide for a…read morereason. This spot is a slightly more elevated and nicely decorated with warm and friendly service. I ordered a Sichuan classic, twice cooked pork, and a new dish I've never seen before, snow pea leaves in broth. The twice cooked pork was a fantastic iteration of this dish. The pork was sliced thin with the perfect amount of chew which paired well texturally with the soft, buttery leeks. The flavor was so well balanced while being heavily seasoned and the smoky wok hei flavor really comes through. The snow pea leaves were soft and silky with tender stems, and they came served in a golden broth with some mushrooms, juicy tomato and snappy pieces of black fungus. The dish is topped with a century egg. I found the broth itself to have a bit of a grainy texture when sipped. I've tried century egg in the past and while I'm not disgusted by it, I never quite felt like I understand the ingredient until eating this dish. The creamy, funky flavor of the egg reminds me of blue cheese and it pairs very well with the subtle flavors of the snow pea leaves and amplifies the richness of the broth. I really enjoyed my experience here and would like to return with a group to try more of the Sichuan classics on the menu.

My husband has spent extensive time in Hong Kong, and he felt like he was back there! We only had three things, scallion beef pancake, shrimp Schumer, and pork dumplings baked on the bottom.

I found it too thick, and doughy, particularly the top knot. The filling was okay at best. I've had better. Also tried the three cup chicken. Didn't realize this is a cold dish. It wasn't mentioned on the menu. I would have preferred this hot. Also lacking enough seasoning. The best thing about this restaurant is the bakery items, in the front. Yes you heard right. There is a tiny area next to the window that sells many bakery items and also sandwiches that look pretty good. The sponge rolls cakes are good. But not really special because you can get these at many Flushing bakeries. Pork bun, lacked enough sauce and filling. Service is fine. Servers were nice and helpful. Decor. Pretty nice, with fake trees inside, with wood booth seating. Could use some cushions. If I'm in the area, I might only come back for bakery items. But maybe this place will get better in time, just not right now for me.

The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

An Unforgettable Omakase Experience!…read more We celebrated the 4th of July with an incredible omakase dinner at Masaki, and it exceeded every expectation. Every course was beautifully presented, impeccably fresh, and perfectly balanced. From the delicate Red Sea Bream and buttery Scallop to the luxurious Toro with Caviar, Sweet Shrimp with Uni, and the unforgettable Eel with Foie Gras, each bite was a masterpiece. What truly elevated the evening was Michael, our sushi chef. He was warm, engaging, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every course, the origin of the fish, the flavors, and the best way to enjoy each piece. His passion for his craft was evident, and his attention to detail made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. Dining at the sushi bar gave us a front-row seat to watch the artistry behind every piece. The quality of the ingredients, the precision of the preparation, and the genuine hospitality made this one of the finest omakase experiences we've ever had. Thank you, Michael, and the entire Masaki team, for making our holiday celebration so special. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

What a sexy spot! My friend and I did a last minute girl's night for our joint birthday and we had…read moresuch a blast. I honestly wasn't expecting much but the service based solely for the Omakase blew me away. The Omakase bar was in the back of the restaurant hidden away. The space was very open and the ambience was chic. This is a great place for date night, mommy night out, or group hangouts as they have private rooms too. Every piece tasted very fresh and were quite unique. The steam silky egg appetizer with crabmeat and fish roe was simple yet delicious. One of the dishes was an uni toro roll that was placed on top of our hands and was sprayed with edible gold glitter on us. That was a surprise and it was cute. And that uni just melts in your mouth. We had this matcha pudding with I think had an Oreo sprinkle in it was fabulous. They also surprised us with an extra dessert cause it was all 3 of our birthdays. Very enjoyable experience. Our sushi chef was very accommodating and made our birthday dinner memorable. We originally started out with the summer special of $78pp for a 12 course meal and decided to upgrade to the 14 course meal for $98pp. There was an option for a 17 course meal for $138pp but we were very full towards the end. They also had this $30 lunch and $60 dinner 3 course meal set for restaurant week. My friend's mom wasn't a fan of raw stuff so she ordered the Chilean sea bass with risotto and she wasn't a huge fan of it. The fish was a tad overcooked and the overall presentation of the dish looked more of a Chinese fusion dish. The risotto had that cheesy flavor but the presentation with the Bok Choy and the risotto looked more like fried rice and was confusing. I would stick with the omakase, which this place is known for.
