Went for Saturday brunch and enjoyed the White Radish burger which had a fried egg on top. It came with fries as well. I struggled getting the burger to fit in my mouth. Cooked perfectly and delicious flavors. Service was a little lacking-- never refilled my water until we waved down someone. The place was not packed so it wasn't noisy. We were seated right next to the bar and could have a conversation. read more

The stars were given just for service, not the quality of the service... the service was good. The food should get only 2 stars. The drinks were beh... yes that's a technical term. The watermelon and feta salad was pretty.. and that's about it.. it was served in a checkered pattern and that's it.. almost no seasoning whatsoever! The ravioli, frankly tasted like is was the fresh pasta you buy at Costco with a watered down cream sauce with a few drops of truffle oil on top.. The duck 2 ways... well, they shouldn't have done one of the ways... it was so dry! The beast was nicely cooked, and luckily it was served on top of some terribly cooked cubes veggies, but it was lucky because the veggies kept it from touching this terrible pineapple based sauce. We sat outside on a beautiful day, ava it was nice but for the homeless woman yelling at us for a couple of minutes. read more

I've been eating here since the beginning and came with my family for Easter dinner yesterday mainly because I saw recently the restaurant was in the news of needing local support. There's a petition on change.org that you can easily join if you pass by the restaurant and scan the QR code. I have loved White Radish from when they first opened and I will say their food has remained consistently good (prices have gone up significantly though, but that's understandable especially if you see the sad news article about how they've been impacted by the LIRR construction) and delicious throughout the years, and the ambiance is still beautiful (seems maintained well), and the staff are very friendly. Despite the price increases (which I have to admit make it hard to come frequently), I do think the food is worth the price because it continues to be delicious, fresh, and still generous portions. I really wish they would have Specials. This is my personal opinion only, but for a restaurant that's a neighborhood local - if you want "regulars" to come back on a regular basis, you have to offer some variety. I know they introduced the Daikon menu so that's new, but it's more or less the same menu since 2020. I used to go to Jack & Nellie's several times a month because they had weekly specials so you wouldn't get bored of the menu. I think White Radish could benefit from seasonal specials since they are farm to table, and diff veggies/fruits are always better during different seasons. I also think if prices were lower, you could get more traffic and more regular business (at least I can speak for myself as I know I'd eat here more often), but again I understand the financial situation they're in and it's really not their fault. So I'm happy to keep supporting this local favorite however I can. Ps forgot to take photos yesterday but I got the Chicken (still as yummy as it was day 1), the Sauteed Brussels - delish and perfectly cooked, the mussels (wow the sauce is something you want to drink), and the dessert cake - perfect and not overly sweet or dense - nice and light and makes you feel like it's guilt-free! read more

Meh. Food is average. They added an attached sushi restaurant and it looks ok but after having eaten at white radish I wouldn't bother. Not impressed at all. Service is good and servers are very nice. But, the food was sub par. Pickles on the pork belly sliders have zero taste. The pork belly was cold and fatty. The fries were good though. The Caesar salad was average. Not worth $14. The scallops and shrimp app was ok. Not exciting. The bread pudding was good but again, not worth writing home about. The decaf coffee was very good and very hot!!! Would not return. And it's a weird combo of restaurants. read more

Interestingly enough, I was surprised to find that this restaurant is also preparing and serving the Japanese food for the restaurant Daikon, which is next door but accessible from White Radish. My friend took full advantage of this fact and had miso soup and two sushi rolls. The miso soup was very salty, like more than I've tasted before in miso soup; but the depth of flavor was rich and robust. Considering it was 21 degrees outside, I was happy to taste it and drink the warmth. I chose the Halibut with ratatouille and a basil cream sauce for dinner and it was truly spectacular. The fish was cooked to perfection and the juxtaposition of flavors was really unexpected but awesome. The service was friendly and attentive, and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Stopped by White Radish for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. We had the chicken Milanese sandwich, steak panini, burrata, and mango shrimp salad. The burrata was creamy and fresh, paired nicely with ripe tomatoes and greens -- simple and well-executed. The mango shrimp salad stood out with its refreshing balance of sweetness and acidity, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The chicken Milanese sandwich and steak panini were both flavorful and satisfying -- hearty, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. Service was excellent -- Anton was warm, friendly, and made us feel welcome right away. Food came out quickly and was nicely presented. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable. Would definitely come back for another lunch or dinner. read more

The sushi is great here and nice atmosphere but service needs a lot of improvement . I've given it 2 try's so far and both times bad service. We sat down at sushi bar and we were the only ones in there. Why doesn't anyone approach us for a drink order? Both times we were tired of waiting so we went into bar area next door to get our drinks. Also had to flag someone down any time we needed anything including the bill. The service really needs to improve or you won't last! I don't think I'll be back read more

Food was not bad, recommend the white radish burger and the shrimp & scallop appetizer wasn't bad but the sauce seemed little watery. My mom said the halibut was good.

Came here because of the hype listed as one of the best brunch spots in the area. Honestly, was a bit disappointed. The service was great. The servers were super nice, pretty attentive, and got us in quickly since we had a reservation. Didn't expect a reservation to be necessary but they were turning people away (Sunday around noon). The menu for brunch was a bit on the limited side, $27 for each item with up charges for certain things. This price is somewhat unwarranted. For example, the vegetable omelette with no meat is included in this $27 price. As was the eggs benedict with no meat, a chicken sandwich, and chicken and waffles, all things I would expect to be cheaper. Cocktails were an additional $15 each, which is pretty pricey for the ambience of the spot. We went with the chicken & waffles and the steak tips sandwich. The former was fine. It came with blueberries and strawberries, an unexpected addition. I appreciated that the chicken was drumsticks instead of traditional breasts, and they were huge drumsticks. However, the breading itself was a little lackluster and fairly dense. The latter, the steak tips, was a bit better. It's served on focaccia with a nice chipotle mayo sauce and it comes with a good amount of meat. The fries it came with were standard, nothing to rave about. In retrospect, probably would have rather given this place a chance for dinner and going somewhere else for brunch. It's attached to a cute sushi restaurant I would consider trying. read more

I'm only giving this place four stars and not five due to the service. It could've been much better, but the servers were sometimes nowhere to be seen or have forgotten about us. We had to ask them multiple times for different things, and shouldn't water be refilled without asking for it?! Oh yes, and there's no need to make reservations here. There's plenty of seating. Regarding the food, we had the burrata, which was pretty good. I had the pesto shrimp dish with noodles. I finished it all as I liked the entire dish. The salted caramel bundino was different. I had to look it up as I didn't know what it was, and the waiter was nowhere to be seen to ask. Once the waiter came back, he wanted our order asap. Anyway, I won't be returning bc the staff has to be better. The food was alright, so in that aspect, there is no need to change, but maybe the people working there need a deep dive on how to be a customer focused. read more

I absolutely adore this little brunch spot in the heart of Forest Hills. The atmosphere is on point with upbeat but not overbearing house music, rustic yet classy decor, and tables that are reasonably spaced (I'v been to too many cafes where I feel like I am elbow to elbow with other patrons). They also have a full bar which is amazing. The food came out quickly, and the staff checked on us a few times during our meal. I got the smoked salmon avocado toast with a mimosa (just a couple of dollars more for the upgrade from regular OJ!) and it came with SO much smoked salmon. I could not believe it was only one portion, I ended up sharing some with my partner and still had more than enough left for myself. Quality was also top notch, the salmon was fresh and not mushy. I think the price is a bit higher than what I would expect from the area, but it was still worth it. I would love to come back to try some other brunch fares. read more

Came here for brunch with friends last weekend and was pleasantly pleased. We made reservations for noon since during the summer this place can get packed during peak brunch hours. Since it was the day of Christmas Eve it was pretty empty with only about 3-4 tables until around 1pm when it started to fill up. When we arrived we were seated right away, presented menus and ordered coffee to start while we perused the menu. Brunch is a prix-fixe menu $26.95 for each item with added $ for certain options. I didn't realize it came with a drink (coffee/tea it seems from some other reviews?) so I didn't order one, though the staff did announce $2 for the first mimosa with brunch...so I wasn't going to say no to that! Food came out quickly within 10-15 minutes of ordering, and we were quite surprised by the very ample serving sizes. My friend had to use a fork and knife for her burger bc it was too large to hold lol. The steak panini was likewise very sizable and both came with a solid amount of good fries (*and by good I mean crispy on the outside of the fries). The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, with a fresh tasty salad, though the potato hash was a bit soft and bland imho. My chicken and waffles were delicious--the fried batter could have used slightly more seasoning but the inside of the chicken was moist and tender. Two drumsticks was generous. The waffle was soft and fluffy with fresh berries. I would order this again. Overall impressions were it's a bit on the higher priced side for brunch, though a comparable value for the portions and I'm adding on an extra star since service was friendly and helpful, (oh yea and that $2 mimosa). read more

I rarely do brunch these days but the time and place suited all our Sunday schedules for a birthday meal. White radish came on good recommendation so we were excited to give it a try. The waiters were what you would expect for a weekend brunch service, lots of service not a lot of attention. All in all, our needs were mostly met. The way the brunch works is a pre fix menu with about 8 options, additionally you get an included beverage of tea or coffee. Every entree is a whopping $26.99. Out party tried the Burger with Fries, Eggs Benedict, steak focaccia sandwich and I had the chicken and waffles. To my surprise the waffles had no crisp and were a little soggy. Another surprise, the chicken drumstick was not fried and the meat was weird and gamey. Overall the dish was a flop lacking in the crisp you would expect when you have chicken and waffles. The burger and fries were probably the best execution. The focaccia was soggy and doughy. The steak was overly dressed with cheap cheese. The steak itself was very nice and cooked exactly as ordered. Honestly, at $26.99 EVERY dish should have come with a salad at least. read more

I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars. There were definitely great things! The duck was fabulous and so were the oxtails croquettes. My fiancé and I went on Valentine's Day so naturally there was quite a long wait for food, don't know if this is the case on a normal night. The reason I'm leaving two stars is because the steak was such a let down. It was overcooked but most importantly it tasted super grainy and like it had just been pulled out of the back of the freezer and placed right on the stove. I would've said something last night but I know they were slammed and since we were absolutely starving after the hour wait, he just scarfed it down. That's my only critique! I'd like to try this place again on a random Tuesday because honestly it is a great spot! They just need to get their steak game in point. read more

White radish is a solid spot for brunch and dinner, particularly for standard American fare. I have not tried the new sushi bar. I really enjoy sitting outside in the spring and summer and ordering a coffee with a burger. Vegetarians: I do think they could perhaps improve the quality of the veggie burger, which used to be an impossible burger (high quality) but is now what they called in my childhood a "California patty". The service here is always exceptional and keeps me coming back. read more

I've always wanted to try this place after it was open. My friends decided to treat me for my birthday so we decided to come here. We came at 5 PM on a Monday. It wasn't very crowded but by the time we left it was full. The place was small but cozy. We started with an appetizer of crab cake. I ordered the white radish burger which was half beef and half applewood smoked bacon. They burger was huge. The beef was juicy and it was incredibly messy to eat. Another friend had the same and one had the vegetable pasta. The vegetable pasta was cooked al dente. It was delicious. The dessert was the only thing that we're meh on. The flavor of key lime was good but the texture was a little off. It was smooth but spongy. It wasn't what I was expecting. Still overall the meal was very good. read more

We have been wanting to try this place again because of all the good reviews. I remember coming here years ago and the food was good.

There are definitely better places to try around the neighborhood. read more

This is my new favorite spot for long lunches and low key date nights. Their selection of comfort eats, full bar, and super friendly service guarantees hours of conversation and togetherness. The White Radish burger is my go to with its blend of 50% ground bacon and onion relish. You're going to need that napkin after every juicy bite. The steak panini and chicken Milanese sandwiches are also satisfying, but with less drip factor. And if you're not feeling a big old meal, their pork sliders with a side of Mac and cheese are a good choice and very shareable, as they come two to a plate. Even when the place is packed, it's still chill and welcoming. read more

great food! good, friendly service. come try it out. good collection of wine As well. You won't regret it. tis the holiday season!

What an unexpected surprise to happened upon the White Radish I was blown away by sushi, Chef Momo and his creative and artistic style and presentation.

Cuisine: 6 Service: 7 Decor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 With Jack and Nelly gone, there isn't really any great wine bar in this stretch of Austin Street in Forest Hills. Though White Radish attempts to replace its predecessor, it fails a bit short of expectations. I have been here a few times and always try to give it another chance. Unfortunately, my recent meal here tells me that it is what it is. Oxtail Croquettes - nothing that special at all Mussels Billy B - saffron sauce was not bad, but mussels were not plump, mostly puny, also fell out of the shells, which is a sign of being overcooked Calamari - once again, edible, but just average Steak Panini - one of the better items, but the bread was not pressed at all White Radish Burger - maybe one of the better items Mixed Seafood Pasta - same saffron sauce as mussels app, cooked al dente, seafood cooked alright Grilled Salmon - meh, really felt quite boring Lobster Roll - two mini rows with terrible bread not suitable for this sandwich, lobster was just ok My philosophy is simple. Any restaurant should give me at least one dish I'm dying to come back for. Otherwise, it's simply not memorable. read more

Tasty brunch options to be enjoyed in a quiet side street in Forest Hills (though do mind the train that comes roaring by every few minutes; the first time it happened, it gave me a jolt). They have a specific brunch menu where every dish is $24 and comes with coffee/tea/soda, which at first struck me as kind of steep for the area. I wish they offered their regular menu too, since there were some good raw bar options, but understand completely a smaller kitchen's need for a designated brunch menu. I went with the farmer's omelette, given my hankering for a bunch of different things on a plate. First, the picture doesn't do the size of the omelette justice, it was the length of two fists put together. I suppose you do get your money's worth if you get this dish. Came with some standard mixed greens, toast, and home fries. Of the sides, the potatoes stood out. Toast was sadly stale and tasteless. Omelette was nice and fluffy, a little on the well-done end, but perfect with some hot sauce and ketchup. On the whole, the food was delicious but left my mouth feeling like an oil slick. Our waiter was friendly and came by often to see if we needed anything. I recommend making reservations on the weekends - a line started forming as we were finishing up, though there were still plenty of tables inside. read more

It's been a couple months since I've been, so I figured I'd stop by since I particularly enjoyed a couple things on the menu the last few visits. Food was okay; our only round of drinks came out after our entrees arrived which was surprising given that it was a slow night (maybe one or two tables seated at the same time as us). Sadly a couple things off their old menu have been removed (which is a bummer but understandable!) but their website had not been updated, so our meal expectations when we dined were different than what we were planning on in terms of menu price changes and what was offered. Not a huge deal, just something to consider. Everyone has a off night, and we enjoyed our night regardless! read more

I came here for brunch on Saturday at 2:30pm with my mom. It was pretty empty except for two other tables of two people. Right off I will say I liked the decor. It was simple but yet modern. The staff were all really friendly especially our waiter. We order a hamburger and steak and eggs off of the brunch menu. My steak and eggs were good. The meat was tender and my eggs were soft. I felt like the meat used for the steak was in the burger as well but I'm not sure. It was a decent choice. Now the tres leches is something to write home about. It came with raspberry syrup on the plate along with a cream. It wasn't too sweet or overly wet which I don't like at all. It wasn't on their menu but the waiter suggested that we try it. Overall I would come back to try dinner. The brunch menu is limited compared to their normal menu and there were things I definitely want to try like the calamari and pork belly. read more

Not sure how they have 4 stars but I guess everyone's different. The only reason I'm giving the place 2 stars is because the service was great. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. Another waiter even brought our food out and when we asked for a million sauces he ran in and got us everything right away. The food though. Maybe it's just their brunch? I don't know. I got the farm vegetable omelette and added cheese to it. The omelette was dry and had 0 flavor. Eggs are my favorite brunch dish to get but these are such a letdown. The potatoes were overcooked and the salad dressing which was purple tasted like mustard. I also got a passion fruit lemonade which I couldn't drink at all. It tasted spoiled. read more

I've wanted to come to this restaurant for a long time. Unfortunately it was disappointing for us. The drinks were mostly ice we maybe have a few sips in every drink we ordered. The oxtail croquettes were fried to perfection but that's where the expectations ended the inside were mushy and not flavorful. The New York strip was grainy when cut into it. The char was good on the outside but the texture was off. The Brussels sprouts were soggy and were lacking flavor. The good thing about this meal was the truffle fries. The price was insane for what we got. read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots in the neighborhood because of quality of food and now they serve alcoholic drinks as well. The food is farm to table and most of the items we ordered were delicious. Only the charred octopus was below average. No taste and the texture was a little soft. The fries were fried perfectly. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My go to entree here is always the seafood pasta. The outdoor area was nice. We sat outside in the enclosure and it was nicely ventilated and breezy. Today's weather was perfect so no too many empty tables. When we arrived, only two tables left and it was quickly filled. They take reservations if you would like to call ahead of time. Lunch with tax and tip totaled to around $123 including three drinks. Definitely not cheap according to my husband but definitely yummy for the most part. read more
