Check out the negative reviews below where the restaurant's management defensively responds to…read morereviews they don't like. It's a hoot! Note to Management: TAKE THE L and learn from the feedback, how about that? Also, side note: if you are *not* providing cloth napkins you are *not* a fine dining establishment. If I could give no stars, I would. This review will echo what many low ratings have already pointed out. It ultimately doesn't matter that the place has a kind of cool/retro vibe/design. This is a restaurant that has ZERO concept of hospitality. Like absolutely zero. It's like, if you want to be treated like crap as a paying guest, this is the place to go. 4 members of our party of 7 arrived 10 minutes early. They were permitted to sit at the bar (the bar is for reservation holders ONLY). 5 minutes later, members 5 and 6 arrived. They would not seat us at our table until the 7th member of the party arrived. Patently absurd. Our server, Michael, was nice enough, explaining to us how to order family style from the menu. Personally I found it a bit patronizing but that's probably just me. Drinks service was noticeably slow (this is important to note for later in this review). The food was fine/delicious - only the Char Siu pork, garlic eggplant and Beef Chow Fun were decent portions for family style dining - and the Char Siu was room temp. Here's where things got wild (especially in light of the slow drinks service) - WHILE WE WERE STILL EATING OUR FOOD our server Michael sidles up to the table - I'm on the end, and he's standing next to me. He announces that our reservation only has 15 minutes left in it - they expect us to finish eating and drinking within the next 15 minutes!?!?!? He follows this up with an offer to wrap up our food to go. ... I'm the only person who actually hears him say all this in the noisy restaurant so it falls on me to communicate to my table mates what our server just said. ... So, 15 minutes later he shows up to take our money - he'll only split the bill into two even though we're 3 couples and one singleton. They AUTOMATICALLY tack on a 20% tip and yet the machine offers you the opportunity to tip even more. The food was nothing to write home about and no one needs the militant attitude when spending hundreds of dollars dining out with friends. I humbly suggest you GO ANY PLACE ELSE for your fine dining experience - this place does not deserve to stay in business another day longer. Oh - and as others have noted- THERE ARE NO DESSERTS HERE. Don't come here for a birthday or any kind of celebration where you'd usually have a dessert.

I am a very picky Thai food eater…read more Coming from the NW we were spoiled rotten. It has taken me many tries in NY to find my spots. And a couple years ago my boyfriend and I tried this place on a whim and it was amazing. We just really can't get enough. We are also lucky because there's two of us. So we get to try two entrees but get half of both. The perfect masterplan. This place is never busy for dine in. I see a lot of food delivery pick ups while we sit and enjoy our meal. The feel at the restaurant is calm, clean and attentive. The staff is always on point. We scan the QR code, but always know we will be ordering the Rose Rangoons, the pineapple fried rice with shrimp and the Massaman Curry with tofu. Every bite is always as delicious as one can remember it. My boyfriend can literally drink that curry sauce. I love the little peanuts in the curry. A little surprise. I took my sister here with her daughter on Sunday and they were blown away. My niece was headed back to college on Monday so I am so happy they had a great time. My niece loved the veggie curry puffs so much that we had to do another order. It made me so happy that they were happy and that we have this beautiful memory here. And now that the weather has gotten slightly chillier, we look forward to more meals soon.

The Chacha Noodles with Fried Pork Belly.came out steaming hot from the kitchen. Bouncy noodles paired with crisp veggies balanced well together. The pork was crisp as well, though some pieces were a bit overdone. I do wish the pieces were sliced a bit bigger... maybe would help it not be overdone. They give a good amount though. I love the hot sauce. The Butterfly Pea Lemonade was a little on the sweet side for me, but had a good amount of sourness to balance most of it out. A decent Thai spot in the area.

It's my favorite place to bring people to share an amazing meal and they always love it too. Mimi is always super friendly and kind and the space is very inviting! Our favorite things we have to get is the BLT fried rice and the rice noodle rolls. We tried some of their new menu items since reopening and we definitely have some new staples to add. The crispy octopus was so tender and flavorful, you can taste the love in it. Usually not one to order deserts but we got to try their mango sticky r-ice cream and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I felt like I was eating my SEA childhood as an ice cream. 10/10 please stop by if you live in NYC or visiting!! You won't be disappointed.

I was fortunate to have had the chance to go to a Yelp Elite Event at Driftwood about a month ago…read more I've been dreaming about their Rice Noodle Rolls ever since! Thanks to fellow Yelp Elites Chun and Jeannie for organizing this group dinner so we could return to Driftwood! There were 8 of us dining tonight; sharing many dishes. We literally ordered everything on the menu (except two dishes), including their 3 desserts! What a delicious feast! Our Feast Tonight (14 Snacks/Entrees & 3 Desserts): -- Milk Bread $10 -- Endive Salad $13 -- Mala Tots $10 -- Salmon Seaweed Crisps $16 -- Golden Crab Bao 2/$17 -- Charcoal seared scallops $17 -- Stir-Fry Peashoots $13 -- Chicken Mochi Waffles $15 -- Rice Noodle Rolls $18 -- BLT Fried Rice $22 -- Roasted Bone Marrow w.Toast $18 -- Pork Belly Wraps $18 -- Pork Ribs w.Sweet Potatoes $16 -- Fresno Gouda Cornbread $9 Desserts: -- Persimmon Cake Roll $11 -- Asian Pear Sorbet $12 -- Milk Tea Pudding (Earl Grey) $8. The 2 menu items we DIDN'T order (only because it was just too much food for us): -- Driftwood Burger $20 -- Driftwood Seafood Boil $48 (although we didn't order the Boil this time, I had it in the past and this seafood boil was delicious!). Each dish was better than the next. I've gone to my fair share of group dining events but these dishes were on another level. Fresh ingredients, innovative food combinations & flavors, each dish completely different from the next. I was going to list all my fave dishes but I realized that every dish would fit into that category! You can't go wrong with whatever you decide to order. Do yourself a favor: grab some friends, and try all their dishes like we did! This was a phenomenal shared meal experience! Even though we were completely FULL after our 14 Snacks/Entrees, we HAD TO also order all 3 of their desserts (shared by 8). A perfect way to end this fabulous meal! Note that their liquor license is coming soon but in the meantime, try one of their unique, refreshing mocktails! They also have a bunch of games at the bar, which you can bring to your table to play while waiting for your food. Parking: plenty of free street parking is available. There is also plenty of metered parking; free after 7pm. Big thanks to Owner Mimi and Chef for their hospitality and fine foods. We had such a great time! See you again soon!

Food Karaage- Juicy and flavorful and perfectly crispy. Tuna Tempura- not crispy as all.Flavor was good though. Yuzu Lamb chops- 3 basic but perfectly cooked chops.i did not taste any yuzu or miso as described.The soy sauce probably overpowered the flavors. The edamame mash potatoes served on the side were amazing,creamy with an umami flavor. Saki Miso Bronzino- Well cooked and mild miso flavor. Fried rice-Good flavor and was able to get it with a side of chicken. Chipotle Teriyaki chicken- Well cooked and flavorful. Did not get the chipotle flavors. Drinks Sakura-Perfect balance of fruity and floral,refreshing for the summer. Lit-chee sangria- Good but barely any lychee flavor.No seasonal fruit was served with it, as mentioned on the menu. Food is pricey for the portion size. Not an extensive menu.

My partner and I came to Lighthouse Rooftop to celebrate our birthdays (which are a day apart) on a…read moreSaturday evening. Upon arriving, we were greeted and sat instantly, to which I requested window seating. It was a nice view with a lovely aesthetic, perfect for pictures. We ordered appetizers, Wagyu Sliders which came out pretty fast. They were hot, and tasty. But at a $24 price point a bit pricey for the size of them. While waiting for our entrees, a live show started and it was a bit overwhelming. The music was extremely loud, we couldn't hear each other speaking and it made the experience quite unpleasant for both of us. The show lasted around 30 minutes. Our entrees arrived and were underwhelming to say the least. My partner got the steak and I got the chicken teriyaki. The chicken teriyaki was cold, the rice was mushy, and they gave the smallest amount of sweet potatoes. The chicken was bland, the sauce was minimal and didn't help it to taste better. I did not finish my food and left hungry. My partner complained the steak was a bit dry also. Both portion sizes were small as well. While being overwhelmed by the music I didn't complain about the food at first, but after paying the bill I thought it best to just notify management about the experience, not looking for a refund but just to explain our dissatisfaction. The manager was super nice and offered to remake the food or a refund for my plate, which I hesitated on but ultimately accepted. Overall, the service is pretty good. The food had potential. But the show was really loud and made us rush out of there. I give 3 stars for good service, the appetizer that was fresh and hot, and the service from everyone on the team.

This place caught my eye as I was simply heading home from a steady gym workout so I figured I'd go…read morehere for a post workout meal of sorts. The setting inside definitely has an Asian feel to it, from the antiquity aestethic to the dim lighting of the place giving a feel of ease. I ordered my food and it came around in good enough time. I just stuck with something basic, the Chicken Katsu lunch special which came with rice, California rolls and my choice of ginger ale. The Chicken Katsu was pretty good. Breading on it could be a bit more firm with a bit of crunch, it was very light on batter but didn't take away from the meal as a whole. Rice had good texture and the California rolls were decent. Not overly the best Japanese food I had, but for what is worth, satisfying and didn't cost me much. Service was a bit on the lax side, but I don't mind it. I appreciate the waiters checking on me to see if I'm enjoying my food and it's appreciated, but at the same time, I also prefer just having the time and peace to eat so no complaints, after all the waitress was not too far when I did need her.

Waiting for leftovers to cool down while I write this…read more Ohhhhhh hey Rego Park! It's been a minute since we have had dinner. And this Asian fusion spot stands up among others in Queens Blvd. First it was super cute since. Big leather booths, with dim lighting. The menu went on for day and was pretty intimidating. They had katsu and curry which I almost went for but the spicy coconut noodles were calling my name. I am getting ahead of myself. That was the main event. Before that we had rock shrimp, which were HUGE. The spicy mayo made my nose run. I wasn't made about it. The star of the night was the dinosaur egg appetizer. Spicy tuna and salmon hugged by avocado and surrounded by shaved carrot. This literary was the best of the night. We got the Pacific roll, and although good it did not live up to our massive dinosaur egg that exceeded our expectations. Shout out to the servers for not rushing us out. Also the bathroom was solid! Clean, two gender neutral bathrooms that were both surprisingly nice sizes. All in all, a surprisingly good find! Would definitely come back!

The owners were very nice and the mix of Asian dishes made it so that you can come back and try a bunch of new different things. I can't wait to come back!

The…read morefood quality has really gone downhill, and the place felt almost empty, there were only two tables occupied, including us. We ordered shak trak, gyuma, shogo katsa, and Chong Ching. Honestly, it was pretty disappointing. The potatoes were sour and didn't taste fresh. The shak trak had a weird taste and was partly cold, like it had just been reheated. The gyuma was okay, but nothing special. The Chong Ching was also disappointing, and the portion size seemed smaller than before. The customer service wasn't great either, no one checked on us during the meal, and our water wasn't refilled unless we asked. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to how it used to be.

My friend & I ordered the Dan Dan noodles, Chong Qing chili chicken, spicy fish fillet with tofu, & tingmo. Dan Dan noodles- definitely pass on this, I am not sure why my friend got it to be honest. It lacked flavor. Chong Qing chili chicken- this, however, was absolutely fantastic. Do you know that it is a dry dish so it doesn't need noodles/rice/bread with it. Spicy fish fillet with tofu- this was also really good and they gave a very generous amount, especially for the price. Tingmo- I definitely understand the hype with this item as it is quite unique. Do note that it does need dipping sauce so if you get a curry/soup (like the spicy fish fillet with tofu), dip it in that, and it is quite delectable. However, I feel that the texture of it changes quickly, so eat it while it's fresh and hot. All in all, Nangma is a very spacious restaurant with some solid food & great service. I'd come back!
