    Calamari
    Misty D.

    I'm really living for all the new Asian Halal places opening up in Astoria, Queens. First it was Prime No. 7, and now a Vietnamese spot!! I came here on a Friday evening (it definitely gets packed and there was a wait time so I recommend try to reserve a table, if it's an option). I went for the beef short rib pho and I shared calamari with my friend. The pho is very big by the way and can easily be shared by two people. To be honest, I wasn't too much of a fan of the ribs but that had nothing to do with the restaurant (I should've known it was gonna be very chewy as that does tend to be the nature with ribs) . However, the broth and noodles itself was really great. The flavors are really immersed in there and my friend who generally does not eat halal sad it tastes like other Vietnamese places. Next time, I'm definitely going to go for the banh mi (it was unfortunately sold out when I was there) and try a different pho. Will definitely come back!

    first time getting halal pho but this place is solid. portions are generous with noodle, meat, and toppings. the pho broth wasnt very flavorful to me but the spices and toppings more than make up for it. halal meatballs were interesting. when i stopped by it was pretty late but they were still packed and i waited 15 mins. felt a bit understaffed but seevice was nice.

    spicy lemongrass pho - perfection!!

    Finally there's a place in new york that has decent pho! I went here with a friend during its grand opening and ordered a spicy lemongrass pho. The broth and spices were absolute perfection. I went the following week with someone else to show them that a unicorn of good pho just arrived in Astoria. The service is great too - they're very attentive and fast!

    So happy to have one more halal pho spot in Queens! I had pho with brisket and steak and it was very soft. The broth was spicy and not too heavy and the noodles were silky smooth. The staff were very kind and attentive.

    My friend and I came here to eat for lunch. The pho, the calamari, the skewers, and the Vietnamese iced coffee were amazing! The staff had us seated right away, and the food did not take long to be served. I would recommend this place and will come back to eat!

    Food & service were amazing. I genuinely loved the beef brisket in my pho. The place was clean and cute :)

    Spicy beef lemongrass Pho

    Big stars for this recently opened place. I had the spicy beef lemongrass pho which was perfectly spiced with plenty of heat but not so much to overpower the fresh, high quality ingredients so perfectly executed. The thin sliced beef was soft and tender, noodles nice and chewy and onions wonderfully wilted with broth and flavor. Really delicious. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Even had been asked multiple times if I wanted more accessories (beans sprouts, jalepenos, basil or fresh lime). Took home their Dan Dan noodles as that is one of my baseline foods and while interestingly different from the traditional versions I'm used to, was delicous none the less. Bouncy/chewy noodles and a nutty, earthy, spicy sauce and I do recall the unmistakable buzz and tingle of real Sichuan peppercorn. I will be back!

    Vietnamese spring roll

    This is a new halal Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood (they have another location in Edison, NJ). I would give this place 4.5 stars. We went on a Saturday evening and the place was pretty busy. We were promptly seated. We viewed the menu via the QR code at the table and placed our order with a server who came by shortly. We started off with the spring rolls. They came to the table piping hot, with some lettuce and mint to wrap it in before dipping into the fish sauce. The pho beef combo (large) came with brisket, steak, beef balls, and tendon. The broth was flavorful and the meat was tender, but my SO didn't care for the mushy texture of the beef balls. I had the grilled rice platter with a combo of four types of meat: grilled chicken, fried chicken, grilled beef, and grilled shrimp. The meat was well seasoned, tender, and tasty, and was accompanied by white rice, tomatoes, cucumber, shredded lettuce, and pickled carrots/daikon. I had ordered a soda lemonade, but I wish the sugar syrup at the bottom was better blended since I was getting globs of syrup when drinking through a straw. The meal was delicious, but a little pricy (the pho was $17.95 and the rice platter with the combo of four meats was $23.95). This is a good option for when I don't want to trek out to Jackson Heights for a bowl of pho.

    I was one of the lucky few who won the Chili Cook off at Pig Beach with Yelp. My first time so…read morewas shocked when Samantha messaged me to say I won. She came with her mother and I got a super sweet shot of them. I got there a little before noon. They were still getting set up so waited outside for a short time. They were kind enough to let me use the restroom first. Immediately I met Amanda and Bernice. We all started talking and learned they were Yelp Elites like me and since I was by myself I asked and joined them. They are so nice! We walked around the whole venue and being Yelpers I found our taste in food was similar. We all wound up liking the same vendors. So stuffed! Portions were generous! Since we were VIP we had the place to ourselves for the first hour before general public at 1pm. We tried the vendors who were ready and went back to try those we passed since they weren't ready. It was a pretty big space with indoors and outdoors. It was a nice sunny day so a bit hot already but we would cool off in the shade. I love love my time today hanging out with my Yelp family who are amazing folks! So blessed to be part of a group who care about businesses and trying new things as well as meeting folks.

It was definitely an experience walking in as it felt super chill and casual, and you order at the counter as though you were a high school kid in the cafeteria during lunch time, which I thought was kind of fun! The menus are above and definitely legible and easy to follow along, and the staff were friendly and helpful as we figured out what we wanted. There was also an array of sauces to choose from, where there are plates and small containers to fill up on their special BBQ sauces (their labels will tell you which ones are spicier!). I had ordered a can of Cherry Coke and a Combo 2, which includes 2 meats and 2 small sides. For the meats, I chose 1/3 lb Burnt Ends and 1/4 lb Brisket. Both were extremely tender and delicious, and full of flavour! For my sides, I went with Mac and Cheese and the Collard Greens. The Mac and Cheese feels so classic and amazing, and the Collard Greens were very flavourful. We couldn't finish everything so we took some lids and boxes to bring the rest home, and I can't wait to come back here some other time and try more things!

The second time, we had to deal with stupid bouncers or security guards before being let into their bar/pub. That's a huge turnoff for me, and it's only worth it for strip clubs and concerts. Sweet Afton is a hip Irish-style pub known for its craft cocktails, extensive beer selection, and upscale pub fare. It has a cozy interior with exposed brick and a sought-after outdoor garden area that is enclosed in the winter.  A few of their menu items include "Astoria's best burger" (using Pat LaFrieda beef), the Dirty Pickle Martini (featuring McClure's pickle juice), and beer-battered fried pickles. I learned that they have a sister pub called the Bonnie in Ditmars, which I have been to and had a great time. Last Saturday I came back for a third time. I was surprised at how things had changed; much more laid-back, with good customer service, good vibes, and one of the most delicious bar burgers I have ever eaten, with a side salad, in any pub or establishment in Queens. Furthermore, Sweet Afron had some nice alternatives to bear and larger, and I selected a cider instead. First, I was offered a sip, and then, upon my approval, a full glass of cider. In conclusion, I do plan to return!

The air was clean. Moderate club music playing in the background. Service (5/5): Staff was awesome and helped to cook, cut, serve the meat. Even for a party of two, the gratuity is auto added at 20%. The bill is not overt unless you look at the full receipt in the back!! We came for their lunch special ($25 for Korean bbq only, $5 extra for sushi all you can eat) and we opted for the additional $5. The kbbq options for lunch are only for the beef thin brisket and the beef bulgogi, both of which were shitty quality. The meat was tough to chew. We were happy that we selected the sushi because the rolls were better than the beef. If you look at the online menu, black text = lunch only. The limited menu for the lunch was not great for meats, but for $30 AYCE price with sushi, then it's good. If the basic meat options aren't good, I'm not coming back to try the dinner selection...

I would gave them a 2 star for yesterday's experience. First, the place was empty on a Friday night at 10:00pm. Probably have 3 takeout order while we were sitting down. The first time I went was on a weekday night back in December, and there were more patrons. Not sure if the place is going down hill, but they dont have slushies anymore. We had the mango slushies the first time, and the only drinks available was whatever bottle drinks they have in the fridge. Mind you, they dont serve you water, so you have to get drinks since the food is garlicky or spicy. We wound up getting the milk tea ice rice this time. It was ok. I never tried it, but the rice is a bit hard. I won't order again. Best dish is large eggplant. Very flavorable, maybe a bit too garlicky. Will order this again. Also, the chicken wing is huge, for the price of $3 each. Thats why we ordered 2 chicken wing this time. But, I think it wasnt grilled as nice as my first time. Still good since it is a lot of meat for the price of $3. Lotus root is also pretty good, glazed with sugar. The worst i would say is the lamb, a bit too chewy, lack of flavor. The bathroom has all sorts of postcard of famous album. I found that pretty neat. Lastly, I think the squid tentacles is much smaller than before.

    I couldn't be happier with my experience here…read more The service is friendly and the QR code ordering system is very convenient. It was so cold out the night I went so I was very happy they kept it nice and warm inside the restaurant. There's a very large selection of skewers, they have basically everything you could want. I especially appreciate that you can order just one of any skewer, unlike some other places where certain types only come in orders of 3 etc, allowing you to order a large variety even if you're dining alone. The seasoning was delicious, and every skewer was not coated in identical seasoning. None of it was spicy at all if that's what you're looking for, but none were lacking in flavor. The meat was juicy and you could taste the smoke from the grill. I loved the different textures of vegetables which were all well cooked. I'm still thinking about the crunchy exterior of the rice cake. I think my favorite skewer was the lotus root, which was perfecting complimented by the seasoning mix. An amazing meal! 16 skewers came out to less than $50. I look forward to returning!
