    Beef Steak / Bistec De Palomilla
    Jessica C.

    Decided to drop by on a Saturday night for a quick bite. We immediately were seated and given menus. I ordered the beef palomilla with a side of rice. The beef was tough to chew on some ends. The sweet plantains I had was pretty good. I did see the previous reviews regarding automatic gratuity so I was a bit antsy waiting on the bill. Our total was $48 with 15% gratuity. Now to me I thought it was a low gratuity but since they were attentive I was gonna to add onto it with an extra tip after I signed off the check. The server came to pick up my card and ask if I wanna round off to $50. I said sure. So they added an extra $2 for themselves. Overall without this 15% I would have tipped more. Not a big fan of them adding it for a table of two? I am going to assume they had to add this gratuity because people didn't leave tips? The restaurant was very busy all night so I guess this hasn't affected them at all. Will I return? Probably not, I have my go to Chinese/Spanish spot in Queens that I will stick to. Overall place was clean and very attentive. This spot did the job on this night though, so I will give it 4 stars.

    The drinks are what you are really coming for because you are leaving SMACK or wherever you are taking your drink to go YOU will be DRUNK. The coladas are my favorite to drink. But the bubblegum Frose is my favorite.

    Haven't been here in a while but it didn't miss a beat. I went with 3 friends and I must say the portions are still huge and very tasteful. Amongst the three of us we got chicken with garlic sauce and beef lo mein and we didn't even finish it all it was so filling. Everything came out hot and fresh the garlic chicken could've used alil more spice but it was still good. The beef lo mein was really fresh with tender pieces of beef all throughout. The service here was very good as well waitress was very friendly and funny. Ambiance is casual. Definitely family size serving. They also sell alcoholic beverages, great pricing for the amount of food they give.

    We tried this Cuban Chinese restaurant after seeing a few TikToks and we were not disappointed. The restaurant has around 12-15 tables and service was quick yet not stellar by any stretch inside was clean but no over the top decorations but you're not going there for the ambience you're going there for the food We ordered a large Blue Hawaiian which came in a large plastic soup container. I inquired as to what was in it and was told "Rum and Blue". I can concur there was rum and blue in this drink. Certainly tasted the rum large was $24 which was plenty for 2. Now the food....we have had Cuban Chinese before and my wife was transported back to her childhood while eating the Special Bistec house special rice and maduros. She said it was orgasmic and I don't hear our food described like that ever so she was very satisfied with our meal. I had General Tso chicken which was crispy on the outside and fluffy chicken inside cooked in a tangy sauce. We both walked away delighted we opted for this restaurant . Parking was rough for a rainy Sunday night so be prepared.

    Let's start by saying if you are from Williamsburg/bushwick you know about this spot. They are known for their frozen alcoholic beverages. Which occasionally my husband gets them to go for us. We haven't eaten at the restaurant for quite sometime. Decided to go last night very last minute just us. Place was kinda empty. Good still on point like I remember,drinks strong as usual. But the waiter never brought a side order of beans that we ordered. No big deal as long as it's not in my bill. Water was NEVER brought to us as a matter of fact he hardly came to check on us. So when he brought the bill it was $87 and some change he suggests we give him a tip. I told him look at the bill you've already charged me for 15% tip. He's like but it's the holidays yada yada . He begins to call out amounts extra we hake give him. And laughs. I didn't think that was funny or appropriate. So my husband' looks at me and says come on babe just a few more dollars . I'm like that's not the point. He hardly checked on us never brought the side of beans and never even brought water and I should give him more money. I was so appalled and annoyed. No matter how good the food is that left a bad taste in my mouth. And I will not be back

    Came in at 11pm (they close at midnight) & was told I couldn't dine in since they were closing. There was still many people sitting at tables so I didn't understand. Food is affordable, it was $16 for sesame chicken & plain fried rice. Food came out pretty quickly. But it was not good. The sesame chicken & plain fried rice were both mushy. Honestly the worst fried rice i've ever had before. The rice was also lacking flavor.

    Heaven on earth

    The best Spanish Chinese food I have ever had in my life. It's so good I don't know what to order the next time I'm there because of the endless options.

    It's a Spanish/ Chinese restaurant. Seating is available. They fast serving the food and the drinks are strong. More people come here for the drinks. They are know for there drinks .

    The food I paid $60 with one of the worst house special fried rice

    This was one of the worst tasting house special fried rice I ever ordered from New Apollo chinese restaurant. This place used to be my go-to for amazing chinese food. The funny thing is I ordered combination platers a few days earlier, and the special fried rice was just like I remembered. Which made me think the house special fried rice would taste the same...oh boy was I in for a surprise. I spent $60 for my family to have a nice meal only to have to order a pizza!! I'm so disappointed. Has anyone else noticed this about New Apollo on Grand St. Brooklyn NY?

    Food was bland and tasted like it was fried in old recycled oil. I'll stick to the henny colada which never disappoints.

    Dimly lit wooden fixtures brings a very intimate dinner. Cocktails were splendid!…read more We were a big group and ordered a handful of empanadas to start. They were stuffed with a great crispy flavorful shell. The kale salad was a take to a Ceasar salad. You can taste the bits of anchoives which wasn't overly salty. My sister had the burger that had flavorful juices leak through the bread. Definitely had to grab a bite. My wide and I split their sampler of meats on a sizzling plate. Cant remember the name of the dish. The blood sausage was great. And the various meats was unbelievable. My daughter had the ravioli that was perfectly cooked with a refreshing lightly acidic sauce. Will return. Just remember to bring cash

    Tabare has an overall warm, inviting energy, though it did feel a little breezy inside on a cold…read morewinter evening. The space feels intimate but still lively. Good lighting, good music, and the hostess was nice. We started with the gruyere and fontina empanadas and honestly that combo is one of my favs. Cheesy, simple, and comforting. I liked the Uruguayan sausage more than I expected, especially since it was easy to share. The octopus with lima beans was good but got a little lost with all the beans. The chicken liver pate could have been great, but the toast was real bad and didn't let the dish shine the way it should have. The halibut ended up being my favorite entree of the night. Fresh and balanced with the broccolini. The flan was amazing, creamy, smooth, not too sweet. I would absolutely order that again. Some dishes were more hit or miss. The squid ink ravioli sounded good on the menu but came out a bit under seasoned and not as warm as it should have been. The short ribs were tender and nicely braised, just pretty standard. Good, but not memorable. Service was inconsistent and not as attentive. A few dishes could have been more thoughtful with timing and temperature. We did not get to try the ribeye or skirt steak this time. Overall it feels like a place with potential. Not a bad experience, just a bit hit or miss for me to travel the distance for.
