    Came into the restaurant to try out the food and atmosphere as a potential birthday location. We ordered vegetable soup, general tso, triple mushrooms, and the cheesecake. The soup was bland, the entree was okay, the kicker was the cheesecake had ants crawling all over, we told the waiter and she was very causal about it , she said she would take it off the bill which was a given but still charged us the full amount for the other items. I can only imagine the lack of cleanliness of the kitchen. Patrons beware.

    As Canada was burning down, and the NYC air was more toxic than the average sludge I inhale, I decided to get sushi! The service was amazing and the food was great! I do feel it was a bit over priced but it’s a nice restaurant in a nice area right by the water and the park so you have to go into it knowing you’re paying for the vibe. Bathroom was pretty beat up but it works none the less. if you’re not easily impressed and have a complex then this may not satisfy you. If you want good food, you want to treat yourself to decent Asian food and then take a walk along the water before or afterwards then this is the spot!

    I've never wrote a Google review before, but I'm annoyed so write a review. The food isn't anything special, it's a typical Asian restaurant. However, I was really angry with the Asian female staff who had purple ombre hair. After giving us the menu, she suddenly took it away and passed it to the table next to us because we weren't looking at the drink menu. I felt pretty bad. Also, no one paid attention to our table, they were kind to the other tables though. This is the worst service experience I've had in the US.

    We came here on a Friday evening and promptly got seated. The hostess was courteous and waiter was okay. The food is a bit overpriced for me but I think it’s mostly due to the area and location of the restaurant. We sat outside but could tell that it’s a very nice Chinese restaurant. We ordered the beef skewer and lycee calamari which were pretty good. Would have appreciated more for the price. For entree we got the orange beef and seafood crispy noodles which were both pretty good. Overall I’d recommend it but if you’re expecting Chinatown or Flushing Chinese food at the same prices, this isn’t it. It’s definitely more upscale and the prices are higher but not ridiculous.

    Good food in LIC but not sure if it’s worth the price for what you get - nothing really stood out. The frozen martinis were delicious and next time around I’d probably want to stick with sushi. The interior is beautiful and has a nice vibe to it so it’s perfect for a date night or a happy hour with friends.

    This place has a very nice ambiance. The waitstaff was attentive. The drinks were delicious. The food was delicious especially the shrimp and prosciutto fried rice which was excellent. I would definitely go back.

    This was not planned out. We were just walking, and we heard music. we went inside to check it out, and we liked the atmosphere. The music was unbelievable, the DJ was amazing, no talking or nothing, just music one song after another from all the way from the 80s music. I mean, he played it all kind of music spanish, R&B, hip hop techno, freestyle you name it,he played it he was an amazing DJ, the place friendly with great drink and great music, a great location to hang out with friends and have a good time. The crowd was an amazing, friendly place. We didn't order food, just drinks. But it was an amazing place to just chill and have a good time dance away the stress.

    This place was excellent. Food was great, a vast variety of choices that were all top notch and tasted fresh. The Atmosphere was also great, the DJ was very impressive & played great music all night. The waitress was fast & efficient, and came at the right times to check up on our table. I personally would recommend the General Tsau, as the sweetness and crispiness was exceptional. As for dessert, I would have to go with the Creme brulee, the sweetness was just right and it wasn't very heavy at all. The only pet peeve I have is that parking is extremely scarce, consider taking an uber if you want to come here. But other than that minor issue, this place is a highly recommend.

    I have celebrated many birthdays with friends and family at SHI. Very cute place with a variety of food options. You can also walk around the park nearby for amazing views of the city 🏙️

    Highly overrated. I was disappointed with the food. The scallops were rubbery and wet. The vegetables tasted like it was tossed in only soy sauce. the pot stickers were basic. The drinks weren't made well. We will not be returning
