Good thing we made a resy since it's pretty small and packed on Sunday evening for dinner. We got a bunch of stuff to share, but unfortunately some stuff was sold out... we were only able to order a half portion of plov and some of the specialty kebabs we wanted were sold out. Either way, we loved the bread. Other stand outs include the mini samsa, plov, lamb ribs kebab, potatoes with mushroom. The mixed salad appetizer was OK. Our waitress was super nice!

The bread was incredibly stale.. looking at it further, it actually had a sticker with a sell by date, that was 2 days earlier! The salad was not seasoned, so basically unevenly cut tomatoes, and cucumbers for $9. The babaganoush was rancid! As in literally gone bad and inedible. The kabobs were actually great! The steak was over cooked for my taste. But others liked it. My favorite was the luyla, the ground beef, it was perfectly seasoned and cooked, juicy and large. The lamb ribs were very good. The liver was good, the napoleon was yummy... beef and fat layered together, not too fatty. The boneless chicken was juicy. So I guess, get the meat and nothing else. I was so disappointed which is why I only have them 1 star even though the meat deserves 4 stars.

You will love the rich flavor from the grilled lamb with spices. The meat is very tender and aromatic! my mouth got so watery after the first bite, juicy tender and flavorful from the spices, the cumin, pepper and rosemary. And the vegetables are so delicious in the dish because they soaked in the juice from the meet, the onions, carrots, papers became sweets and they are the best to eat with rice or noodles.

Ordered the big plate chicken that comes with homemade noodles. The chicken is flavorful and the noodles are the perfect accompaniment. Love the texture of the noodles. Nice and chewy. We loved the lamb skewers. Generous portion for $4.99. Tasted like quality meat with the perfect combo of lean and fat. The baked buns are actually meat pies baked with phyllo dough. I love phyllo dough and the filling was very tasty but would have preferred more filling as it washer dough heavy. I love milk tea so I had to order the Nurlan milk tea. Huge portion. Literally came in a bowl. Found it tasteless. Service here is friendly and fast.

The food was so authentic and flavorful- we had lamb, beef and chicken mixed with all the dishes you might expect from potatoes eggs and vegetables. While the restaurant is located in a strip mall, you'd never know it. The ceiling is covered in cloth coverings that you know are authentic. The dance floor is so inviting-we spent the night between dancing and eating. The servers were fantastic. We look forward to our next visit

Great food. Reasonable Prices. Service needs a little bit of improvement…read more Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Happened to be on Wednesday night. Place wasn't packed but there were some customers there. So the restaurant is not much for decor IMHO but has excellent food. Even on Wednesday night. Chuchvara, Lagman, Shurpa, Achik-Chuchuk, Various Kebabs, Beef Tongue, and most importantly Cheburek. The only dish that can go wrong like a puffer fish. Underdo it and it's inedible, overdo it the same, wrong oil or too much oil and your customers will run screaming for the hills. This was actually done so well we went for seconds, light and crispy on the outside and nice and juicy inside. I'm drooling just writing about it.... A great place to visit, service on the slow night could've been a little better but I can't really complain.

Old Sport is a hidden gem in the Queens area with the yummiest Halal Chinese food. Think bold, fresh Xinjiang flavors and also your Chinese classics. We got the Combo E (what an amazing deal if I may add) consisting of two of their top beef noodle soups and a lamb/chicken burger. Both noodle soups came with a delicious clear broth and tender pieces of beef, chewy hand-pulled noodles, and an abundance of cilantro on top. The roujiamo was the star of our meal as it was freshly made, crunchy, full of juicy meat and vegetables and an addicting sauce. Don't skip out on the roujiamo, for real. 100/10 stars, definitely will be coming back

They were warm, attentive, and remade the dishes so my husband and I could enjoy everything in the proper order during a rare night out without the kids.

Marani sampler - 2/5 - 3 different phkali spreads (spinach, eggplant, and green bean). Bland. I like the spinach one the best. It would be nice if it came with bread or chips, but we got bread on the side and that was $5 extra. Lamb kebab - 2/5 - Tough texture. Expected it to be juicier? Khinkali - 3/5 - Thick shell. I always take note of broth inside of a soup dumpling. Wasn't super flavorful but decent.

We were a group of four and were seated at a large round table, which was perfect for sharing. We started with black tea, then ordered two salads to begin: the cabbage salad and the fresh salad (both in large sizes, which were well-portioned for our group). The cabbage salad was lightly pickled and very flavorful with oil, while the fresh salad was simpler but crisp and refreshing. For mains, we ordered two Lagman soups (large sizes, which were very filling and enough for leftovers), the Sherpa soup, one Samsa meat pie served with a red tomato sauce/broth, garlic fries, fried dumplings, and chicken and lamb skewers (two of each). Everything was flavorful, fresh, and came out quickly. Before tax and service fee, the total was under $100, which felt like excellent value for the amount and quality of food. We were all very full and still had plenty to take home. Staff was helpful and attentive, and overall it was a great dining experience. Would definitely recommend visiting.

I used to come here often and really enjoyed it, but after today's visit, I'm completely…read moredisappointed. Food: * The samsa was tasty, just like before. * The lagman has gotten much worse. * The borscht was completely underwhelming. * The chicken kebab was simply awful. * The lamb kebab has gone downhill a lot. * The beef kebab was okay, but nothing special. The bill and "service" charge: When I got the bill, there was an automatic 20% "service" charge included. I assumed it was a tip, so I asked the waitress. She told me it was a city tax, which sounded strange. I went to the counter to clarify, and they explained it was "for sitting here and eating." I asked again if it was a tip -- they said no, the staff doesn't get it. Our waitress was good, so I still left an extra tip on top, but this will probably be my last visit here. I don't like being misled -- either customers are being deceived, or the waitstaff isn't getting their tips. Photo attached. Be careful and always check your bill!

Cuisine: 9 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 Since my favorite Uzbek restaurant Taste of Samarkand closed due to a fire, this restaurant has become my go to for food from that region. There are many other options in the area, but I have always come enjoyed this place, and now I treasure it more than ever before. The decor is a bit loud and gaudy for me personally. I always preferred the interior design of Taste of Samarkand or Art of Grill, but I'm okay with Stix's decor because it's bright and clean. More importantly, I love the food at this place. Every time I come here, it's absolutely fantastic. They shine at grilling skewers, so I'll start with that. You really can't go wrong, but I would always get the lamb, lamb ribs, beef, baby chicken, chicken w/ bones, and sea bass. The lola kebab and the chicken lola kebab are not bad, but definitely better at Art of Grill. For the more adventurous, try the veal sweet bread, veal liver, and lamb fat. The only kebabs I am not a big fan of here are the quail. As for appetizers, you have to get their flavorful Uzbek mantu. However, crispy cheburek and flaky samsa are both excellent too. Herring Garnish is very tasty as well. Moving onto salads, I typically order the Humus and Babaganush for dipping with the Tandoori Bread. Korean Carrot is also a nice starter. If you are fond of soup, then I highly recommend Osh-Potche. Lastly, Asian Pilaf is a nice way to end the meal when dining at an Uzbek restaurant, though I think their version is average. When all is said and done, every meal is always amazing. The cost of the meal is always reasonable. And a good time is always had by all every time.

Beautiful, colorful and fun…read more Food is fantastic and service is wonderful. Must try the garlic fries. Pargiot and lamb skewers. I will say its find the rice bland but over all the food is good.
