Salmon Avocado
Elizabeth X.

Got a bunch of rolls for takeout, and they were all great. Also got the scallion pancakes, which were very good with or without the additional curry sauce.

Pink Nori roll
Yvonne M.

Enjoyed my experience here with friendly attentive staff and the portions are filling. For apps the takoyaki and Peking duck sliders were flavorful, I would say the duck was a little dry. Then my husband got the combination $18 three rolls and I had the special roll pink nori with seared salmon - it was delicious! We were so stuffed, and also ordered some hot sake, it was a nice dinner.

I really liked this restaurant! The food was very affordable priced and everything was really yummy. The service was good. The waitress didn't pop her head in too much, but enough that we knew she was around if w e needed her. The decoration leans more on the modern side and definitely does not give you a "Japanese feel," but the place still looks nice. You can tell their vibe is more modern than classic. I would recommend this spot and definitely look forward to coming back soon.

Vegetable Fried Rice

Cute and romantic ambiance here. The service was relaxed and I didn't feel in a rush. Food was delicious. I'm not gluten free. But, they had a large separate menu for gluten free options.

From the outside

I didn't have crazy high expectations about this place but I've got to say - it's pretty good. Came here with my family for a quick dinner together and the employees were great at accommodating our seating request - we were 6 at the table. Pink lights all over, plenty of seating even if it's a fairly small place. Cute decor. Service was pretty fast and it looked pretty clean. We had so many sushi pieces that it was kind of difficult to identify, but it's okay. Loved the pieces with the spicy tuna. We also had a duck salad, probably my favorite dish of the night. The downside of the dinner was my drink, the Lychees martini, which was NOT shaken at all and overall only tasted of alcohol with an aftertaste of lychees. I couldn't really drink it. Now, this is not a fancy place, it's pretty casual. But it's good if you are craving sushi or something a bit oriental.

Initially, from the outside, I thought Pink Nori was a nail salon. Hidden in between several restaurants on 30th Ave their decor did not make them stand out as a restaurant. However, once you step inside, Pink Nori has an ambiance all of its own, You feel like your in a very relaxed lounge with very attentive employees. I ordered the Roast Duck Ramen and Ramune Strawberry cocktail. At $20,00+ my meal was amazing. Everything about Pink Nori hits the mark. I shall be back in the not too distant future. They are one of, if not the best Japanese restaurants on 30th Ave, possibly Astoria. What a great find!

Fancy sushi rolls
Sara R.

Solid choice for sushi in Astoria! Being that's it's NYC, everything's is relative so they're getting 4/5 stars. They could have given more calamari and the service was mid. They could have come by a little more often with water. The Ambiance is clean and comfortable and chic. Good for a date night or to hang with friends. Fresh fish!! And the sushi pizza is a winner. Would return!

Mango chicken
Trisha T.

*Delivery Review* FOOD: This is our go-to place to order sushi from in Astoria. We've tried other places and Pink Nori consistently has the best sushi from freshness to the fact that the rolls never look like they are too loose or falling apart on you. Our favorite special rolls are the Sexy Pink Lady which has salmon and mango in it (we love mango) and the Thinly Cucumber roll which is my go to if I don't want rice. It's wrapped in a thin slice of cucumber and has a variety of raw fish which makes it amazing. Go to regular rolls: Salmon Mango regular roll Spicy salmon roll Spicy tuna roll Spicy yellowtail Yellowtail avocado roll Something else we tried is the fried rice which was surprisingly amazing. It reminded my husband of hibachi style rice work more flavor than regular fried rice. One meal I didn't love is the mango chicken. I wanted to try something different. It kind of tasted like they cooked some chicken, threw cubed mango on it and added some steamed broccoli on the sides. I doubt it was actually cooked in a pan together. The sauce was very thin. They have a pretty extensive menu so its not too surprising that not every dish is amazing. DELIVERY EXPERIENCE: We've only had good experience with them. They deliver rather quickly! We're hoping to go in person some time so I'll update when we do!

Poke  Tempura entree
Nikki C.

Pretty good place to get some poke & tempura entree. The ambiance is laid back and servers are very attentive. I would like to come back to try other things on their menu. Fresh tempura veggies is the way to my heart. Plus the serving sizes are huge!

Michelle C.

I was in the mood for sushi so my I came here with my boyfriend for an early dinner. It was not busy so we got seated right away. I ordered their lychee cranberry non alcoholic drink and it was so good, it was sweet but not overly sweet. For our starter, we ordered the scallion pancake that came with a gingery sauce which was a bit tangy but absolutely delicious. We also ordered their ocean roll and mango roll. I loved their ocean roll because it had scallion. All the flavors in the roll just mixed so well. The mango roll was very refreshing and filling. The service was great and everyone was very attentive. Will be my new go to spot for sushi.

Sexy Pink Lady
Zack W.

I got takeout from Pink Nori, so I can't speak much on the in-house service or decor. But! The speciality rolls really blew me away. I got the "Sexy Pink Lady Roll", which while not authentic, was so tasty and absolutely massive portion size. Would recommend!

Denise G.

The service was great- staff was friendly and attentive. The cuts of fish tasted fresh in the maki rolls I had. I love that they have an entire additional menu that is gluten free. I've added pictures the gf menu below!

My favorites are still on the menu, but I know a crowd one (Pika Pika) was lost. One I saw there was no crowd (on a Sunday night ~8PM) + they started playing "First Love" by Hikaru Utada, I knew it was gonna be a good night. The place did fill up starting at 9:30PM until almost closing at 11:30PM. *recommended What we ordered: - Agumon (Hojicha version): not quite an espresso martini, but similar vibe with slight sweetness, nuttiness (according to my other friend) + the orange garnish gave great balance - Agumon (off-menu matcha version): the matcha's astringency added more acidity + with no garnish the whiskey was much more prominent - Tokyo Banana*: genuinely tastes like banana + not in the artificial banana milk way - Yurie*: refreshing balance of sweet + sour - Strawberry Daifuku*: love a sweet drink, misleading name tho (only strawberry in the daifuku garnish) - Mala Fries: super crispy + not overly spicy, pricey for fries tho

I did a side glance while walking through the store, but too be honest this stuff looked too cool for hubs (no offense to him), but I definitely need to get a better look next time. I had time to kill before a networking event so I tried to find this tiny bar that had such rave reviews (literally 4.5 stars). I popped my head into Extra Butter, the aforementioned store, and I asked where I can find this spot. They lead me through a door on the side of the store and there I was. A very tiny spot with a super sleek bar. You can maybe fit 25 people in the whole spot, but not mad about it. It makes it a very intimate bar and I like that. Its so much more exclusive. Like I'm in on a secret spot. Shoot, I just let the secret out! You know your girl loves bourbon drank. And after some back and forth I decided to do the Rebirth of Slick. It was kind of like a refreshing old fashioned with turmeric syrup, bitters and lemon. I could have sat there and drank them all night. I convinced my friend to come early and meet me before the event, and when she finally arrived she had just as much as fun as I did. Finally, PJ was the most gracious host. Being there right when the bar first opened and having to wait on my friend, he chatted with me about the bar itself and food around the Queens area. He also informed me that some of the cocktails are his creation. They are fun and unique cocktails and I can't wait to come by and try others.

They are the sort of spots one would find exciting in 2010 NYC, or perhaps 2025 Asheville. There's certainly a scene, but the green neon sign that reads "We Be the Infamous," and their commitment to their speakeasy hidden behind another business bit makes me immediately want to run the other way. But I ordered a couple of drinks for the full experience. I got a cocktail with mezcal and pineapple syrup and an espresso martini because no other drinks really called to me. One great thing about Queens bars is that places are still inexpensive, so I'm not mad at only spending $17 on these drinks, but the creativity isn't matching the likes of Dutch Kills or 56709 up the avenue. It's totally serviceable and it seems others have a great time here, but I found the experience wholly forgettable.

As soon as you walk in you get that speak easy vibe with hip hop, real hip hop. The lights are so fun with hanging candles. It was giving Harry potter vibes. :::bathroom alert::: Look as soon as I went into the elden ring bathroom I lost my mind. If you're a gamer you know what I am talking about. Fans of game of thrones, boy oh boy do they have a treat for you! A throne toliet, geeze I wish I had to poop at that point, lol. I went to the second bano to see what it was, I was not disappointed. For the wings, I wasnt too impressed to he honest. Very bready with white sauce, I've had better. The service was really fast, very pleased with that. My friends indulged the whiskey flight, it looked really fun. I wanted to partake but thats too much whiskey for me. The peach and cream sour was delicious! I could see myself coming back.

I thought it was just one a one off thing, but it turns out their burger is insanely salty too. It seems like they pre-salt their burger patties since the texture is kind of gummy? The alternative is to salt the patties during cooking to retain the structure and feel of a beef patty. The overall meal was a disappointment. I'll have to try it again the future. Maybe theres a different cook in the back. For the value of $18, it's not bad, but not great on the tastebuds.

Love the bar stools at this place tho, they have backs and the chair is cushioned! I appreciate a good back to a barstool. I ended up coming a few days later and the vibe was much better. The bartenders must have just been tired from their previous shift that one Thursday. They were really great on a Saturday. The happy hour is pretty nice $5 for shot and $10 for a marg. ::bathroom alert::: Very inconvenient when you're at the bar. It's like a maze getting down there. The bathroom is clear tho, I'll give them that. They were playing live music for like 90 minutes. There was literally no one at this bar on a Thursday night, so much for thirsty Thursday. Theres a section off to the left that has a pool table and connect four. On a Saturday night they are playing Spanish music, most people know Spanish music and drinking is super fun!! I can totally see why this place doesn't have a lot of pictures. I don't see how a lot of people wouldn't it is cozy. At the end of the day this places prices are reasonable for this area. They get the five stars because the music was good and the prices were good. $7 for an ipa isn't so bad.
