( https://www.instagram.com/p/DQF8Gzekcks/ ). It is a shame because, besides myself, I know a few people that aren't in the neighborhood that travel regularly to G&L. Also its surprising because every time I go the place is pretty packed and occasionally there is a wait. What's also a shame, for me, is that on my recent visit my friend ordered the Steamed Seafood in Lemongrass and this is perhaps the top, or one of the top dishes on the menu. The seafood flavors and balances the slightly spicy lemongrass broth making this a crave worthy bowl. I ordered something out of my wheelhouse - the Coconut Spicy Lemongrass Soup, which on online order menu states its a popular dish. I couldn't see why this dish is so popular because I find other items on the menu superior. They make a tasty pho (especially when paired with a marrow bone). Their sandwiches are well made - I enjoy the different fish ones. I think their Vietnamese coffee could use some work - it is blander than other versions I had tried. Don't be too sad and maybe feel a little optimistic because owner Petra Rickman has a great track record opening interesting, in demand restaurants (This one and Taco Azul have been longtime go-tos in Whitestone). Additionally G&L has a 2nd location with the same menu in Manhattan, which unfortunately for a Queens boy like myself is a bridge too far and a congestion pricing too high for me to make the trek.

The woman at the counter stated no they do not have Tom Kha. So I settled for a takeaway order of chicken Pad Thai. The woman was holding a conversation with another coworker so I decided to wait outside til it was ready. Not to soon after, the woman handed me my order at the door and I thought this was the fastest Pad Thai I ever had made for me. Getting home , the paper bag contained a white container with the food and nothing else. No utensils, napkins, just the container of food. The noodles were great, wedge of lime and that was about it. Scant slivers of shallots, peanuts chicken etc. It appears and tastes as if it was a premade sauce out of a bottle... very disappointing. I recommend the removal of this item from the menu. I will give other nearby restaurants a try next time.

It's not always easy to find a restaurant that both adults and kids enjoy, but Tavern 157 definitely hits the mark. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a place we keep coming back to.

The complimentary bread was served with a very creative trio of spreads: butter, a sweet plum sauce, and a sweet vinegar reduction. It was an unexpected and delicious start to the meal. The sushi rolls were the highlight. The fish tasted great, the avocado was generous, and the ingredients were well balanced. We also really enjoyed the Mito Ribs, Tuna Tartare, Black Sea Bass, Teriyaki Chicken, Mito Fried Rice, and Cobb Salad. The ribs were rich and flavorful, while the tuna tartare was refreshing and beautifully presented. The sea bass had nicely crisped skin with thick, tender meat. Overall, Mito offered a lovely atmosphere, attractive presentation, and a wide variety of enjoyable dishes. It was a great choice for our birthday celebration, and I would gladly return for the sushi and several of their signature dishes.

With just food and quality they deserve 5 stars…read more I come here pretty frequently for lunch since it's such a good deal for the amount of food they serve; Prix Fix lunch for $25, bento for $18! They have a lot of options from sushi to fish and chips. I just wish the service was a little better... they do pace out the meal for you but it is a little slow. I came around 12pm which is pretty standard lunch time but there was only one server for the bar/lounge and main dining area. Waited for about 10-15 minutes for a sever to come check up and give us the bill... both the soups came out at the same time for my partner and i, along with the appetizer. But when it came time for the entree, there was a huge gap. It turned out to be miscommunication between sushi chef and server. I understood mandarin and a little fuzhounese... the sushi chef claimed to not receive any orders when communicating with the server but I got the food pretty quick after that. In my bento, it came with a kani salad which came with a surprise... pieces of plastic! Overall, they keep this place pretty clean, not too loud. Good ambience for a family dinner, or even a date. Just beware that you'd have to drive through a hidden side garage.

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:]

ONE STOP SHOP FOODIES …read more... Everything about this place is amazing. We are including the food / Drinks which I'm assuming this is why people go correct!? +++ The service is beyond upscale, including food fresh always and ambience amazing , I don't know how many Hibachi , Sushi , Cajun seafood, restaurants everyone else has been so any negative reviews can be put on here if Ikko didn't match we're actually beat the ones you attended !? This is a one stop shop think about it !? No more arguing on what does somebody feel like eating ? Sadly actually nobody is realizing acknowledging and appreciating the accommodations of this restaurant. Please review on what they don't have to offer on their menu!? The staff is amazing they will cater to you and the only reason you may ever get an attitude is because you were giving one to them remember that! Or unless they're extremely busy, But you should be understanding at that point. The ambience is beautiful. As said prior , what more do you want from an establishment. Remember this is a one stop shop as again priorly said you can't go wrong ! Great job the Owner, Managers , Chef plus all kitchen staff , and definitely the hospitality of the Waiters. - This is a real review - Vojka & Walter ‍

That cheese sauce or orange yellow sauce was more acceptable than the marinara. It was too thin and watery. The macaroni fried Mac & Cheese Balls was the clear winner. It looked and tasted like a winner from a restaurant and not from a dining hall made by college students. I would get it again and try out their other items.
