"#1 Chinese in Brooklyn. Crisp sansho pepper in their mapo tofu and dan dan noodle is new level. Must get their dan dan noodle, pan fried pork bun, mapo tofu and duck fried rice. Happiness all around🔥"

"Seafood at its finest!! Their oyster happy hour will bring a smile to your face, and it's 7 days a week 4-6pm. Daily crudo was salmon, lightly dressed with olive oil, lemon and pinch of salt 👌"

"Kondo is a hidden gem in Astoria. Both chef and staff are Japanese, which is why they are good. Highly recommend the octopus carpaccio and the ikura don. Notice they are very generous with the ikura!"

"An amazing, delicious soba spot. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. I got the Tenzaru tempura set which is the cold soba dipping noodles with tempura. Pure deliciousness"

"Not your typical Thai spot!! It's very trendy inside and their back garden is insta worthy. Not only is the food delicious and authentic, their wine choices are superb! Must try crab fried rice 😋"

"Hidden gem in Flushing. Korean BBQ at its best. They use real charcoal so your meat is flavorful. Everything was delicious! Lots of side dishes!"
