Blu Ember exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated, setting the tone for a great dining experience. The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable, with a relaxing atmosphere that makes it perfect for both a casual dinner or a special night out. The menu offered a fantastic variety, and every dish we ordered was outstanding. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into the food here. Whether you’re ordering a steak, seafood, or one of their creative seasonal specials, you’re in for a treat. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, always checking in at the right moments and making sure we had everything we needed. Our server was knowledgeable, offered great recommendations, and genuinely seemed to care that we were enjoying our meal. Blu Ember is definitely a place I would return to and recommend to others. The combination of excellent food, great service, and a welcoming environment makes it a top-tier restaurant. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience, this is the place to go.

It was a great experience! The ambience is cozy, the lighting and decor create a sophisticated yet not too formal feel, perfect for a get together with friends or a date. Service is a plus, our server was very attentive and friendly, very knowledgeable about the menu, made good recommendations, and kept pace with the dishes. The water glasses were always refilled when empty，which was a nice touch.

The food was absolutely delicious! The grilled steak, uni hand rolls, and pork belly were all beautifully prepared with great flavor and balance. The sauces paired perfectly, and the drink was super refreshing too.The ambiance was really nice — cozy lighting and a relaxing vibe, perfect for a date night or catching up with friends. Service was attentive but not intrusive.Definitely planning to come back to try their brunch next time. The menu looks amazing!

I had an amazing experience at Blu Ember. The Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Food was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the flavors were well-balanced. I highly recommend Pork Cheek and Seabass. The ambiance is cozy and clean, perfect for a casual dinner or a small celebration. Highly recommended!

What a lovely surprise. Blu Ember staff is pleasant and professional. Relaxing decor and atmosphere. Love the outdoor table area covered with forest canopy. Indoor is perfect temperature control, romantic vibe with pleasant lightning. Food is delicious. We had brunch. Coffee/chocolate martini delicious. Steak and eggs with potatoes perfect. Chocolate lava cake served warm yummmm. Very pleased with service and staff. Suggest reservations. Comfortable for single person, couple or family and friends. Limited street meter parking in area. There is a paid hotel parking service at the corner as well.

We visited Blu Ember with our family and had a truly wonderful experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and elegant, perfect for a special night out together. The staff was warm and accommodating, making sure everyone—from the kids to the adults—felt at home. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with something for everyone to enjoy. It’s a place we’ll happily return to for future family dinners and celebrations.

Just visited this brand new restaurant and I was blown away. The decor is modern, upscale, and thoughtfully designed. Great ambiance whether you’re out for a date night or a nice dinner with friends. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. The menu is unlike anything else in the area. Creative, fresh, and full of unique options that you won’t find elsewhere. Every dish we ordered was not only delicious but beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail here. Highly recommend checking this place out.

We had such a great time at Blu Ember! It was the perfect place for a friends’ night out, the atmosphere was lively and stylish! The food and drinks were amazing! Everything we ordered was tasty and well-prepared, especially the Wagyu sushi and Pork Cheek those were my favorite. We’ll definitely be back!

Arrived late to our reservation but we were still accommodated. (It wasn't busy.) I like that there is a new posh restaurant here in Flushing! Really love the wagyu nori bites!! This is a newly opened restaurant and I think the service can still be improved.

Loved my dining experience here a few weeks ago. The food and service were amazing. I'm actually looking forward to coming back this weekend. I saw this spot on yelp, did more research and had to check it out since I'm always looking for great restaurants..The restaurant is nicely decorated and there was a good amount of diners seated.. We ordered some cocktails and sushi for appetizers and L had their steak and I ordered the sea bass. Also ordered lobster wonton soup. Everything was delicious. Loved the chef's pick.. the rolls also ..so yummy. I actually ordered another roll afterwards. The sushi was very fresh. I could've easily eaten another round. The lobster wonton soup was so good. The broth was flavorful. It was even better than the wonton soup at Chilli. The steak was cheaper than the Wagyu at RH guesthouse but it was just as delicious. I loved my sea bass. Everything came in a good pace so I didn't have any of the issues mentioned in the other reviews. The few bad reviews I saw...were due to slow service? My waiter was so nice...and everyone who brought our food over was also very kind. I even spoke to our waiter for a lil bit. The drinks were so fun...they come with side offerings. The drinks tasted pretty good but were still strong. Tried 4 but will definitely try the rest next time. I went to a sushi restaurant just the other day and I should've just come here instead. Like night and day difference. Looking forward to their omakase...

Ngl, the food was delicious, ordered the Kumamoto oysters and sashimi, everything was fresh. The ribeye we asked for medium rare was cooked perfectly; juicy nice and pink, flavorful, not tough at all, and perfectly seared on the outside. Aside from reading all the 1 star reviews, yes I agree they need to work on their service. One of our waiters spilled water over our shoes while picking up the empty sashimi plate that had ice. And one of the girl waiter also dropped utensils while cleaning. If I'm going to pay this much for food I expect the service to match the ambiance.

Blu Ember was so luxurious! The decor inside seemed so elegant and chic! Everything screamed high quality! The service was also amazing! All of the food here was delicious! The flavors here were not overpowering and you could taste how well each ingredient blended together to make such a delicious dish. The lobster eggs benedict was so delicious - with just the right amount of savoriness. The lobster was cooked just right - it was so soft and melted in your mouth! The avocado toast was delicious - they added some pumpkin seeds for added texture and it was soooo good! The seasonal oysters were so fresh, it didn't taste fishy at all - i could have 100 of these by myself! The lobster rolls are a must try for brunch! They were so delicious and you don't feel bad about eating it afterwards! Its not as oily as other butter rolls! Soso delicious!

This gem is easily one of the best dining experiences I've had all year. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt upscale yet inviting, and the staff was incredibly warm and attentive throughout our entire meal. Our waitress Ari was amazing, super sweet and friendly I went with my mom and we got to try a variety of dishes -- and everything was delicious. The flavors were bold, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully plated. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The staff made us feel welcome from start to finish, offering great recommendations and checking in at just the right moments. If you're looking for an elevated dining experience in Queens -- whether for a date night, special celebration, or just to treat yourself -- Blu Ember is absolutely worth a visit.

Good place to get brunch ground flush in New York, very beautiful spot inside. Very good service as well. I did find the food to be a little bit plain, not too flavorful, it felt healthy though. I'll come back again.

I love the atmosphere here! It's upscale, comfortable, and spacious! I'll be coming here often to hang out with friends. Everything we ordered today was excellent. Aside from the seafood pasta, which was a bit overcooked and soggy, everything else was fresh and delicious. The service was also very attentive!

Food and ambiance was great. I think the servers need a little more training though. Don't get me wrong, overall they were all great but for a fine dining restaurant I believe they need more refinement.

Flawless service and excellent food. If you are in Flushing, Blue Ember is fantastic. The ambiance is elegant and the staff is very attentive. The food is some of the best I've ever had. I look forward to going there again.

TLDR: The menu is a bold and refreshing celebration of the diverse Asian culinary landscape of Queens, seamlessly blending Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, with American influences. Starters: the fresh raw bar East Coast oysters then savored on some tasty sashimi (toro included). The jumbo shrimps were humongous and tasty. Mains: tomahawk steak was cooked to a medium raw perfection. The seared fish was delicately cooked with a light crunch on the skin. Also, must get the fries with truffle sauce. Thai inspired grilled pork cheeks and Korean inspired kalbi lettuce wraps were so good! Cocktails: I honestly couldn't pick a fav. They were all so good. Check out the pics Desserts: Matcha vegan ice cream Vibes: Located in Westin Flushing LaGuardia, it stood out as an elevated, yet welcoming, dining destination in Flushing. The ambiance is striking from a sleek main dining room to an inviting outdoor patio, to the sushi bar, and an intimate cocktail lounge. Service: amazing attentive staff with Michelin vibes

the environment is good the people are nice.but the waiting time is very long.30 minutes for a plate of sushi and 40 for the toast. And no one care. Never come back.

Everything about this place was amazing. Joey, our server was a delightful young lady who was attentive and super polite. The ambiance was one where you felt transplanted into this contemporary and elegant aesthetic. I was totally feeling the vibe. And the food...oh em gee...the food was amazing. The Kumamoto oysters (from Washington state) was one of the best oysters I have ever had. They were large, creamy and juicy. I don't know how else to describe them. You just have to try them to see what I'm talking about. I also tried oysters that were not on the menu and those were Arcadia oysters from Cali and they were sweet and juicy as well. I also had the scallops roll and they were also delish. This was an 20/10 experience and will be returning when I'm back in the city.

This restaurant have outdoor seating but no service, Server or Lady manager came to me don't even speak English cause I look Asian. No proper hospitality training skills even though the food or ambiance is great , YOU can't survive in restaurant business. This is UNBALANCED hospitality

Very nice relaxing brunch. Staff was so nice and pleasant. Willing to explain menu items as needed. Both of our dishes were done perfectly.

The interior design is elegant, chic, and modern but unfortunately that is all. Let's start with the service. The hostess greeted us with a great smile and walked us to our table. So it started well but as soon as the waitress came to the table, everything went down hill. We ordered several dishes and the food did come out in a timely manner. The issue was other than the Kumamoto oysters being fresh and the grilled octopus tasting great, everything else was mediocre. That alone would have made this dining experience fairly enjoyable but the 2 hispanic waitresses made several easily rectifiable mistakes but put no effort into fixing it. First off, while serving a dish, she stepped on my foot, looked down, removed her foot, and didn't even apologize. Another dropped a fork from our table while picking up the dishes, dropped another utensil on her way back, and completely forgot about the fork. Another server kept coming back to our table to fill our water but kept forgetting to pour my glass. To top it all off, while we are still finishing our desserts, the foot stepper decides she will give us the bill. This was the worst part as that's like telling us "Hurry up and pay so you can leave now". There were plenty of tables still available and there was absolutely no reason for her to do that. Some of the staff desperately needs to be retrained for a fine dining establishment.
