Monkey King is easily a 10/10 experience and one of those rare restaurants where the food is…read moreincredible and the people behind it make you feel genuinely cared for. First, the owners are some of the kindest, most thoughtful hosts you could hope to meet. You can feel how much they care about their community the moment you walk in. They've also made real efforts to make the space accessible for different bodies, which is something that far too few restaurants consider. That level of intention and hospitality truly stands out. And then there's the food -- absolutely phenomenal. Every dish feels intentional, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Standouts for me: Shrimp Toast - the best I've ever had. Perfectly crisp, rich, and balanced. Duck - deeply flavorful and cooked to perfection. Ribs - tender, savory, and incredibly satisfying. Char Siu - sweet, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Eggplant - unbelievably delicious and a must-order. Monkey King is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Amazing food, genuine hospitality, and a space that feels welcoming and thoughtful. Highly recommend supporting this gem.

If you're looking for a great spot for date night, Monkey King is definitely worth checking out…read more The ambience was great--the space feels stylish, relaxed, and perfect for a night out. Even the bathroom was impressively nice, which always says a lot about a restaurant's attention to detail. The food and drinks were on point. The crab fried rice, fried shrimp toast, rib lamb were all flavorful and well-prepared. One standout for me was the spring rolls--they were so good, crispy and packed with flavor. The drinks were also great, making the overall dining experience even better. Between the great food, nice atmosphere, and convenient location, it's definitely a place I'd go back to again. Alexa greeted us and took our order she's amazing! If you're planning a date night or a nice dinner out, Monkey King is a solid choice.

The pork was crisp as well, though some pieces were a bit overdone. I do wish the pieces were sliced a bit bigger... maybe would help it not be overdone. They give a good amount though. I love the hot sauce. The Butterfly Pea Lemonade was a little on the sweet side for me, but had a good amount of sourness to balance most of it out. A decent Thai spot in the area.

It's my favorite place to bring people to share an amazing meal and they always love it too. Mimi is always super friendly and kind and the space is very inviting! Our favorite things we have to get is the BLT fried rice and the rice noodle rolls. We tried some of their new menu items since reopening and we definitely have some new staples to add. The crispy octopus was so tender and flavorful, you can taste the love in it. Usually not one to order deserts but we got to try their mango sticky r-ice cream and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I felt like I was eating my SEA childhood as an ice cream. 10/10 please stop by if you live in NYC or visiting!! You won't be disappointed.

They give you complimentary peanuts with your drinks while you wait for food. Everything came out at a good pace. Inside was pretty casual--nothing too attention grabbing about the decor and it seemed like the owner had family visiting with some kids hanging around. Service was friendly and chill! Now the food. It was all so delicious. Those crab fried bao buns were heavenly. The bone marrow was decadent. The rice with the egg yolk! So rich and yummy. I think Driftwood is a hidden gem, and it could really soar to new heights if some more modern and chic touches of decor are added.

We didn't eat, my reviews is for the drinks, ambiance, and rooftop views. Rooftop view gets 4 stars because there is another place that I consider the best. 4 is still great for a night out and fresh air with that excellent romantic ambiance. The inside decor is gorgeous and classy. There is a notice in the lobby about the dress code, is not for the casual look, call ahead and find you before you showed up to prevent access due to the dressing code. New Year our group was out for the whole night so after 12 am, we had to go ti another spot. I wish we could had stayed here all night. Drinks were excellent in presentation and taste. Absolutely great for every kind of meeting, business, friend, family, or romance.

And this Asian fusion spot stands up among others in Queens Blvd. First it was super cute since. Big leather booths, with dim lighting. The menu went on for day and was pretty intimidating. They had katsu and curry which I almost went for but the spicy coconut noodles were calling my name. I am getting ahead of myself. That was the main event. Before that we had rock shrimp, which were HUGE. The spicy mayo made my nose run. I wasn't made about it. The star of the night was the dinosaur egg appetizer. Spicy tuna and salmon hugged by avocado and surrounded by shaved carrot. This literary was the best of the night. We got the Pacific roll, and although good it did not live up to our massive dinosaur egg that exceeded our expectations. Shout out to the servers for not rushing us out. Also the bathroom was solid! Clean, two gender neutral bathrooms that were both surprisingly nice sizes. All in all, a surprisingly good find! Would definitely come back!

Drunken Noodles (5/5): Lots of spice and flavors. Very different than your standard Thai-drunken noodles, in a very good way. The chicken had a nice lemongrass flavor to it and the cuts of chicken thigh was juicy. Chicken bun (noodle bowl) (2/5): Very meh as there was basically no flavor. Pork Banh Mi (4/5): I preferred the brisket banh mi over this one. The bites of pork were fine, bread was again very good, and a good blend of the toppings/sauce.

Since the weather was…read morenice, I was hoping to sit outside, but there wasn't any space available--still decided to give it a try. Customer service---It was okay, nothing standout but not bad either. Seating----A couple of small outdoor tables (which filled up quickly), one long table, about six tables for two, and a larger rectangular table that can fit around 8-10 people. Bathroom--Clean with a nice, nature-inspired aesthetic. Pork Sisig--This was the highlight for me. I loved the mix of onions, chili, and egg with the tender meat. The fat was a bit gooey, and it seemed like there might've been some cheese mixed in with the rice, which added an interesting twist. Overall, really flavorful. Calamari--Crispy and paired well with the sweet chili sauce, which complemented the savory flavor. That said, the coating was a bit thick and uneven in parts--something I tend to notice since I often order calamari as an appetizer. lemon juice--Super refreshing. I was tempted to try the Thai tea too, but I have an early commitment tomorrow, so I'll save that for next time. Overall: A decent experience. Not perfect, but definitely worth trying--especially for the sisig.

The…read morefood quality has really gone downhill, and the place felt almost empty, there were only two tables occupied, including us. We ordered shak trak, gyuma, shogo katsa, and Chong Ching. Honestly, it was pretty disappointing. The potatoes were sour and didn't taste fresh. The shak trak had a weird taste and was partly cold, like it had just been reheated. The gyuma was okay, but nothing special. The Chong Ching was also disappointing, and the portion size seemed smaller than before. The customer service wasn't great either, no one checked on us during the meal, and our water wasn't refilled unless we asked. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to how it used to be.
