    In the trendy l.i.c. Is this asian restaurant with your old school favorite dishes, just upscale. A great sushi menu too. It's sexy from outside dining to lounge in front w/ Asian infused drinks

    I didn't get to try much on the menu but this spot is super nice, staff was friendly and the atmosphere was also good. I had wonton soup, and chicken and shrimp fried rice, loved it.

    Nice ambiance and good music playing with a DJ on hand. The food was average for the experience. Would definitely have drinks here and meet a friend.

    Excellent food, ambiance, and service. A perfect date spot! I love their lettuce wrap, steamed bao, orange beef, and seafood pan fried noodles. Their rolls are pretty awesome too! Try the firecracker!

    I am typically a raw fish girl here, but sumai is the best I ever had here, the pho is amazing, and the spicy beef basil is one of my new additions. Try them!!

    Pretty much turns into a nightclub in the bar area after 10:30pm. It can get a little awkward...but the Tom Yum & Wonton soups are so good!

    Get the steak cubes and the ginger mojito. You're welcome! All the rolls are great. The Blast, the Gantry. I love this place.

    The Pear Martinis and the pineapple fried shrimp Rice is a must to have I love this Place....Awsome Views of NYC

    Staff seem unhappy, have a "I don't give a shit attitude". Food is pretty poor too. Popcorn beef was like a plate of rubber bands in sugar sauce and pork dumplings had zero flavor.

    Late night winds the outer borough folk make this a can't miss destination for dance awkwardness. Some nights its like Jersey Shore happening right in front of you. In other words: get here.

    interracial couple was brutally attacked in Long Island City early Saturday, when to solicit help from the restaurant , they were shunned. "They closed the door in my husband's face,"

    Great space for an upscale get together with friends.. All the fanciness of the city with none of the city traffic.

    Extremely fresh sashimi, wasabi, AND ginger! I also like how the rolls come topped w/a bit more roe, however the seaweed's the toughest I've ever had.

    Upscale Asian fusion with a handful of tempting Latin twists that guarantee a chic dinner or date night.

    A little too fancy for my taste, but the takeout is the best in the neighborhood. And I'm not ashamed to say I'm addicted to the Pineapple Fried Rice.

    Softshell crab roll is good and not greasy. Good special rolls and good Chinese food too. The fried cauliflower is also really good.

    A bit pricey but there aren't many sushi options in LIC and overall SHI has really great sushi.

    Start with bacon-wrapped shrimp and don't miss out on the Gantry Roll.
