Rory ParnessSeptember 21, 2014Well worth the trip from Manhattan, Queens, BK, BX and even SI! If you come with a group, order everything but if you had to choose, get the tails (yellow and ox) and finish with Rice Krispy treats!
Never stopping for exploring new taste. Small but very high quality of dishes. Take your time with your favorite friends and share the dishes. Bun, salad, pork are my favorite as well as selection of
Jess NaldoSeptember 17, 2014Delicious & inventive cuisine! Free bags of popcorn fried in BACON fat while you figure out what you wanna order. Get the scallops, mussels, and pork buns! Wanna get the oxtail next time. OMG.
Jackie BywatersAugust 6, 2014Suggest bringing friends so that you can share plates. Suggest duck, hanger steak, oxtail, pork belly, and tuna tartare...but my friends also loved the rice krispy treat with marshmallow ice cream.
Christina C.September 8, 2013Popcorn in bacon fat is addictive. Must get Yellowtail, it was delicious. Uni toast was very good. Oxtail was ok. Don't get Pork trotter, Shaved foie gras & Fried chicken (taste only rosemary, yuck).
Village VoiceAugust 13, 2014Start your dinner with complimentary popcorn cooked in bacon fat, followed by a succession of small plates that rival Manhattan-fancy, minus the pretensions. Read more
KristiaMarie Pastor BalatbatOctober 23, 2015Complimentary popcorn cooked in bacon fat was an excellent start! Roasted brussles sprouts & bao buns were yummy. Marshmallow ice cream takes the Rice Krispie treat dessert to the next level.
Megan ChiuOctober 21, 2015Always a fantastic selection of tapas with unbelievable flavor. When you start a meal with bacon popcorn, it will surely amaze you. Pork belly buns practically melt in your mouth.
Tiffany ChangJune 13, 2016Uni toast was delicious!!! Compared to NYC tapas portion, this is much bigger! Great value, creative dishes, and great service.
Nancy LeeSeptember 4, 2014I had the heirloom tomato , roasted pork belly, mussels and rice krispy treats ! Everything was great , inventive but still delicious.
Brownstone Living NYCJune 14, 2016Culinary treat from the popcorn to the wine to each plate. Great dining experience. Awesome for an intimate family dinner, great for dates and solo dinners.
Billy KeenlyOctober 24, 2015Inspired, eclectic menu with unexpected pairings and consistent quality. The yellowtail tartare served with crispy chips was fantastic, as were the pork belly bao buns.
Guan LiJanuary 26, 2015Such a delightful experience. Fun, chic and yet lovely food. Perfect service! Good price too! Would definitely come again, had a great time here with good friends. XO
Steve DJanuary 3, 2015The food is absolutely delicious and affordable. Portions are quite large and sharable, perfect for a group of 4. Standouts were the yellowtail tartare and oxtail.
Alan HuangJune 15, 2015Food was delicious. Get the duck wings, foie gras, tartare, and tacos. Service, ambience,location mehhh
Real Cheap EatsNovember 30, 2011Try the Crack and Cheese ($9). "The crisp fried gnocchi that arrive are melty on the inside, tossed in an oozy white béchamel and generously topped with bacon. It’s as addictive as its name implies." Read more
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014A varied and changing small plates menu brings out the best in the cuisine. The Seared Scallops and Long Island duck breast dishes shouldn't be missed.
Victoria IglesiasJuly 21, 2011Crack and cheese is a must. They got rid of the wraps with the good meat in them and now they're BLT. yummy, but definitely not as good. Be prepared for unusual combinations. So yum, though, love s&f!
Leslie BernsteinDecember 20, 2015This place is excellent. Better than some "fancier" restaurants in Manhattan for a fraction of the price. The yellowtail was particularly good in my opinion.
New York HabitatApril 23, 2014Stop by this great Asian-American fusion restaurant. Try the oxtail terrine, pork belly tacos & the Long Island duck breast!
Robert MulleyMarch 10, 2015The JK Scrumpey's cider is amazing. Loved the tuna tare tare and Korean BBQ lettuce wraps
Anna LungJuly 16, 2011The chili shrimp and mussels are a MUST! And the crispy pork is divineeee.. this is a definitely a gem in the center of sunnyside :) come once and expecting yourself to come twice then thrice..
John WApril 2, 2011Great new American in Sunnyside. Notable are silky scallops, savory oxtail terrine, simple yet tasty pork kimchi tacos & a marshmallow panna cotta. The friendly & on point servers make it even better.
Justin MarksAugust 7, 2014The menu rotates, but everything is good. The one staple is popcorn drizzled with bacon grease. They're like little heart attacks, but delish!
Nicole MackieApril 16, 2011So many yummy things! Love the caesar salad (with yuzu), obviously the Crack and Cheese, the Sriracha Pork Sliders are awesome and the the caramelized onion purée with the Oxtail Terrine is amazing...
Ece IzgiJune 6, 2014Juicy hanger steak, unique desserts, good service. OK in weekdays, but you may wait at least 30 mins at the weekends to grab a seat.
If you're up for it, get the bigger items at the bottom of the menu, like the duck. So good!
Amanda ScottJune 12, 2013Everything is amazing, but I absolutely love the Yellowtail tartare, Korean BBQ wraps, BLT Buns, and Oxtail Terrine.- Chef Catman (Just Fork Me)July 20, 2012Bacon fat popcorn while you look at the menu!!!! The lettuce wraps with the braised pork belly and kimchi whoa! This place will not disappoint
Ana MGApril 5, 2011Bacon popcorn is a nice touch as you peruse the menu. You can't go wrong with the fried gnocchi "crack" & cheese. Marshmallow panna cotta is a revelation.
Kristina MJanuary 18, 2015Everything was delicious. Ordered the muscles, scallops and Korean fried chicken
Honza VuJuly 17, 2015Love the atmosphere in here even though it's a bit cold the food is on such a high level you don't even realize it
ShirleyApril 24, 2011I'm pretty sure all of the to-share dishes are as tasty as their oxtail terrine but why the clash btwn the "fancy" decor and the xx/ animal collective playing in the background?
Hannah ElleAugust 5, 2013This place was awesome. The small menu & small plates & intimate setting make for a great date.
inkpushcoJuly 24, 2013Everything was super good. Get the tartar, duck and chicken. Finish off with the sorbet.
Amanda MeisterJune 5, 2013Great yellowtail. Vegetarians ask for the blt with mushroom instead of pork. AMAZING
James FiltzJanuary 8, 2012The bacon popcorn is free! Brussels sprouts deep fried will change your life! Pork belly tacos are a must get!- Ana MGApril 5, 2011Liquor license pending. Put your name on the list & Leave your cell # Go to the Courtyard or other bar. they will call you when your table is ready.
Gordon ZhengSeptember 22, 2014Get the pork trotter, it's delicious and larger than the other dishes.
Jonell GallowayDecember 17, 2012Great assortment of small plates, many with an Asian influence. Reasonably priced, reservation recommended.
Victor CamposNovember 18, 2013Yellowtail... Amazing, scallops and hanger steak in-fucking-credible! Amazing place!!!
Dali's DollAugust 18, 2012Try the Pork Belly Buns ^_^ and and and Grilled Shrimp and and and the Lychee sorbet :) SO FUCKEN GOOD!!- Jonell GallowayApril 15, 2013Best tapas resto in NY, great prices, not pretentious, Oriental influences yet not at all Asian
Pork Belly tacos are a must with the local beers... Menu changes often, don't miss them!
Kendal ParkerJanuary 4, 2012I'd stay clear of the pork belly tacos... But definitely get the pulled pork sliders and BBQ wraps
Elana GJune 30, 2011Get the pork slider! The food here is seriously great. Well priced, great for groups to share dishes.
William LeeApril 16, 2011Pork belly tacos are delicious and the branzino is crispy on the outside and moist flakey on the inside.
Christian ColasuonnoAugust 1, 2011what's not good? definitly get the tacos, pork buns, fried chicken, lettuce wraps...I could go on and on. Read more
