Sobak

Korean restaurant

👍👍 Delicious. As a person who was born and raised in Korea, the bibimbap taste authentic and appetizing. No frills. I could tell the beef in the complimentary soup was definitely high quality beef. Absolutely recommendable 👍

Plant-Blossom

Vegetarian restaurant

👍👍 I placed an order through Uber Eats. I got the vegan kimchi Bao bun, the vegan impossible Banh mi and the vegan chocolate cake. They were all spectacular. The vegan chocolate cake is the best one I’ve had! It was very moist and sweetness was just spot on. The delivery was pretty good too! I loved th...

Elly's Place (Sunrise Market)

Cafe

👍👍 Great little cafe. The proprietor is super nice and friendly. They have a wonderful pastry selection and make good coffee and smoothies. Lots of books for kids of all ages to read while you're there, too. This is the only place in Forest Hills that sells freshly roasted specialty coffee from third...

Lions Gate Grill

Asian restaurant

👍👍 Don't overlook this delicious comfort food! Easy to miss this one as you need to go down stairs from street level to an underground food court. They have some run-of-the-mill rice plates but where they really shine is their malatong- an (optionally) spicy, hearty pot chock full of noodles, veggies,...

Qing Shu Spicy Hot Pot 青蔬麻辣烫

Hot pot restaurant

😠 I went to order food at their store today, and the service attitude of the girls at the front desk was very poor. I was being scolded loudly throughout the communication process. When I asked her which soup bases were not spicy, she didn't even bother to say anything, but just pointed to the menu f...

Theo Thai Bistro

Thai restaurant

👍👍 The restaurant is beautifully decorated with lots of flowers and colors. However the place is pretty small so definitely call ahead if you plan on bringing a party over 4. We were seated immediately by a friendly server as there wasn't a line. The appetizers came put pretty quickly but our main dish...

Mini-Burger

Hamburger restaurant

👍👍 Gotta say that I have not had a bad burger here yet. This is by far the best and pretty much only burger option in Kew. The breakfast and Fat Man Burgers are to die for, and the fries are tasty. Highly recommend if you are craving a delicious high end burger. A tad pricey but they are big, tasty and...

Montauk Club

Social club

👍👍 I have only seen the facade and exterior of the Montauk Club and can say I love the gothic theme, with creepy faces and gargoyles. Would love to go inside one day and feel the spiritual essences of ghosts and dearly departed who haunt this building. I saw what looked to be a wedding going on, and wo...

Japan Corner

Japanese delicatessen

👍👍 Small Japanese market with a surprisingly wide selection! The prices are very fair, comparable or cheaper than Mitsuwa/Sunrise Mart from what I’ve seen (UCC Drip Coffee at Sunrise Market was a dollar more than at Taiyo). I have not tried their hot food items but it’s a cool that they have those avai...

Italian favorites such as homemade pastas & risottos turned out in a snug, cash-only pickup joint.

👍👍 First off this is my first time here and wow I am amazed by the staff at how clean it is. The food combos is very affordable and I was blown away by how crunchy and fresh the taco was.
