Izakaya Fuku

Worth every penny, which thankfully was a very reasonable price (p.s. cash only). The sushi was extremely fresh, the karage and teriyaki chicken were so moist and tender. The service was friendly and attentive. The vibe was a total bonus, it was what I imagine being in Japan feels like. I love this hidden gem and will definitely be returning. How cute are there check presenters! DVD cases, LOVE

Came here for lunch with two friends. We ordered three entrées, Unagi Don, Chirashi Don and some more. The place is cozy and well designed very authentic. The food came out fast. Overall everything was delicious. Also the bill comes in a dvd box, found it amusing.

Definitely my favorite restaurant for Japanese food in Jackson Heights. It's a cozy, relaxed place with great tunes and vibes. The food is always delicious and the sushi is always fresh 🤤 I come here whenever I can. Dining in is cash only so be prepared before you arrive, though there is an ATM nearby.

MENTAI NOODLES hands down the best ever. All carbs and worth every bit of it. The main reason we keep coming back to this spot and also tasting their other platters is a great experience. Karaage Chicken is a good app along with the Kani Salad. It’s light and delicious.

I came back after a year and it was even better than the first time. The food was amazing rich, flavorful ramen, perfect karaage, and a cold Asahi beer that tied everything together. The atmosphere and service really make you feel like you’re in Japan, a truly authentic izakaya experience. I had a great time and will definitely be back. 🍜🍺

It’s surreal, coz everyone in the dinning is Thai, even the server are Thai, yet they serve a great not good but great Japanese food. I have to met the Chef. Amazing food! They just have to learn more on Japanese terminology. Example they have Toki highball and I ask Toki on the rocks instead the server told me that the highball is the brand name, and I keep insisting that Toki is the Japanese Whisky, and when I ask for Togarashi, they said I have to order. so I said can i order, then they come back they don’t have it on the Menu. and then my husband order a Asahi Super Dry, they don’t know the Super Dry. These are small things, but sometimes need to taken cared of, Anyhow, it makes me deel back to Izakaya in Tokyo, only people are speaking Thai not Nihongo. But still loved the whole vibe! Congratulations guys and good luck. wish you more success.

This place is amazing and deserves way more recognition. The black garlic ramen is my favorite ramen in NYC (and I’ve tried plenty of ramen all around the city) and the takoyaki is the best I’ve ever had, period. I’ve been there with my girlfriend twice, and they always deliver. Highly recommended.

Izakaya Fuku in NY is very different from what you usually expect when it comes to Japanese food. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with an urban vibe walls covered in graffiti, hanging lights, a jukebox playing music, and even chairs made out of beer crates with cushions on top. It’s a unique concept that feels casual but very enjoyable. The service is good and the food is definitely worth trying. Their sushi is served as a type of nigiri over a bed of rice, with great flavor overall. The only one I personally didn’t enjoy was the fish roe sushi since it had a strong cod-like taste, but everything else was excellent. The classic ramen was absolutely delicious, rich in flavor and perfectly prepared. I also have to highlight their house-made soy sauce it’s outstanding and really elevates the experience. The only downside for me is that the place is cash only. I don’t think this adds to the concept, and instead it takes away a bit from the overall experience in such a modern and authentic spot. Overall, I do recommend Izakaya Fuku if you want to enjoy Japanese food in a very different, urban setting with great flavors and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Short review/recommendations: Creamy Mentai Bacon Udon, all sashimi, Gyu Tan, unagi don if you want a bigger dish. I was at this izakaya a good while ago with a group having heard great things about this place. The place is pretty small and had a nice atmosphere with friendly wait staff. To drink I had the Ozeki "Yamadanishiki" Tokubetsu Junmai which is $15 for 250 ml which was a pretty good rich and dry sake though a little bit pricey. A bit more reasonable compared to quality would be the excellent Kurasawa Junami Kimoto which is nicely available in either a smaller 300ml bottle for $21 or a full size for $50 which I would probably go with next time (the mini one of course.) All alcohol aside, the food overall was excellent. We first got a couple types of raw fish to share and the portions are decent for all the sashimi as they all come with five pieces. The Sake/Salmon Sashimi for $10.95 was buttery and very tasty with large plump pieces of salmon and I would recommend it. The other people there also ordered the Octopus/Tako Sashimi for $11.95 as well which they thought was excellent and I saw that it indeed looked quite good though I couldn't eat it. We also got the Hamachi Yuzu Kosho or yellowtail, scallion and Japanese spice with soy sauce and sake for $14.95 from the carpaccio section which was also very tasty. Good quality yellowtail which wasn't overpowered by the spice ferment. Also arriving earlier was the Fried Kibinago or deep-fried silver-stripe round herring with mayo for $7.95 which came with five pieces also I believe. The herring had a good fry which wasn't too oily with a good crisp batter and a lightly fishy flavor and it would make a good bar snack with or without the mayo. The final smaller fish dish was the Sake Kama or grilled salmon collar for $13.95. I tend to compare a lot of salmon collars to the pricey but excellent Hibino by me but this was solid with good quality buttery salmon and excellent grill marks Also grilled but not fish was the Gyu Tan or grilled beef tongue for $9.95 which came with a few pieces topped with scallion. The tongue was tender and I would recommend it. Also grilled and pretty solid was the Garlic Soy Skirt Steak marinated with sake for $18.95 making it one of the more expensive dishes. The skirt steak was pretty tender and came pre-sliced on the rarer end with some mustard and wasabi on the side. It was good but less notable than many of their other dishes so I would save money and share other things instead. The best dish of the night among all the good dishes was the Creamy Mentai Bacon Udon or udon with creamy mayonnaise spicy cod roe and bacon for $14.95. Most spots when making mentaiko pasta either don't add enough mentaiko so it's bland or add too much mayo but they got it perfectly balanced here with just the right amount of salt with the only place I think doing a better job being Lucky Cat in Midtown East. There were plenty of chewy noodles with a lot of the addictive salty fishy topping. While the bacon wasn't necessary, it added a little smokiness/sweetness and I would definitely go back and get more of their wafu pastas which they had a lot of in terms of specials and seem to still. The last dish we shared was the Unagi Don or grilled whole eel over Japanese rice with egg roll and pickle for $30.95. There was plenty of well grilled eel which wasn't overly sweet compared to some other spots. If you're looking for a main dish after some sashimi or an appetizer or something, I would recommend this one though it would be better to share. The "egg roll" or tamagoyaki was just alright but the flavor of the eel made it worth it even being the most expensive dish on the menu. As an extra, I ordered the Yaka Mentai Mayo for $6.95 as I liked their other mentaiko dish but this was probably my least favorite thing. The mentaiko lost a lot of the fishiness when grilled so the onigiri/rice ball was a bit bland. Would probably just go with the normal salted plum/umeboshi filling next time which is both two bucks cheaper and would probably work better. Outside of the rice ball mishap, I really don't have many complaints for this place. Everything was solid and the prices were reasonable. I wish this place was closer because I would go back here often to try more of the dishes on the menu. Excellent izakaya. Mid 4

We really wanted to like this restaurant. The only reason why I didn't go for 1 star (which... if you follow my reviews, you know I'm not afraid to go there) is at least the service was attentive and when we did complain regarding the food, they didn't argue with us in terms of taking item off the bill. We went there because of all those 5 star revierws. Maybe we were on an off night or maybe we ordered wrong items. But something about the items we had (we had bento boxes) and overall vibes didn't really click with us and we were expecting so much more. Getting into details - despite the fact that we both ordered similar items, one of us received the order like close to 10 min later than the other. That was the beginning. Then we noticed that the salad had no dressing and the egg didn't have any taste. Crabmeat salad on the rice was bit too spicy. Chicken and Saba whch were main items were fine but they really didn't offset the other items in the bento box that were underwhelming. Then we realized that bento boxes had no miso soup (which... at every Japanese reataurant we've been to, whenever we ordered bento boxes, we always had miso coming with them). We asked for one and what we got is the soup that they use for miso ramen noodle so it was too salty and oiley. This was where we had to send the items back to the kitchen. We don't like to do this. But we didn't feel that there was any other way. I don't know. It is cheap (only like $15) so I guess we get what we paid for. And we probably should have ordered other seemingly popular items. But we were sort of craving for bento boxes so... But since this restaurant is getting enough 5 stars, clearly this place is liked by many and we would never tell anyone to stay away as far as this one is concerned (which again, I have no problem saying that if it was warrented. But I don't think this one deserves that and generally I don't like saying that to Asian businesses especially being one) I just don't think it was for us and that was our experience and ours alone. At least I'll say this Atmosphere was good. Pretty authentically Japanese pub feel. And we did like the music choices.

Really happy that I found Izakaya Fuku and I plan on coming back often. I really enjoy the food and the menu has something for everyone. The last time I ordered their udon carbonara - which was lush and so flavorful. It was also such a filling portion and it truly didn't need anything. The texture of their noodles really is what makes their dishes so good. I then tried the yakisoba noodles, which are now my favorite. The sauce is so well balanced and the noodles are like ramen noodles but with such a good chew. Really enjoyed the appetizers as well, I thought for a moment I would have to ask for more sauce for the calamari but it was so rich and fatty that it lasted for the whole dish. The sausages were cooked perfectly and had such a good smoky flavor to them. I also recommend getting one of their sodas, the yuzu will become a hyper fixation for me. The service is prompt and polite. They sat us down right away and checked in multiple times to make sure we were enjoying everything. The ambiance is so cool. Like a Christmas bar meets a beautiful restaurant in Japan with a little edge. They played all of my favorite oldies and we found ourselves singing the whole time. Also a very cool feature are the old dvd's your check comes in. Definitely give this place a try.

Nice ramen place in a heavily Latin area. Place can be tricky to find. Inside it is a bit of retro Japanese pop art inspired. The classic ramen here is a tonkatsu soup base. A bit less generous like so many places today, only 3 slices of pork chasu. The flavor overall is quite good, not too salty and the soup is quite intense. Other dishes are pretty good overall, maybe priced a bit high for the casual dining experience. But overall, if you needed to find a decent ramen place late night then try this place.

A cute and cozy Japanese restaurant serving up delicious food in Queens! I came in for an early dinner and chose to get their chili garlic Hokkaido hotatae pasta and it was so good! The three scallops I got were big, tender, and flavorful. The pasta was garlicky and had a good kick of spice from the chili peppers. I liked that there were roasted garlic pieces mixed into the pasta as well so you got a good amount of garlic flavor. Service was fast and the servers were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere overall was vibrant and relaxed. They have a pretty varied menu here so there's something for everyone ranging from the pasta to the fried dishes and to the rice bowls. If you are in Queens and want some great Japanese food, come check out Izakaya Fuku! They also do cash only but they also offer Venmo as a payment option!

The Zuwaikani pasta was elite -- so YUMMY!! Spicy, creamy, and with a strong umami taste from the snow crab. It tasted like tomalley (the mustardy substance inside a crab). Adding some lemon elevated the dish and counteracted the seafoody taste, which was an absolute game changer!! Only thing was that it's a little too spicy for my taste. My sister seemed to like it since she has a better heat tolerance. The Napolitan pasta was A-MAZING, somewhat more refreshing from the Zuwaikani. Tangy, somewhat creamy, and not that sweet. It was perfection and was definitely the highlight of my experience. Despite being mostly excited to try the Zuwaikani pasta, the Napolitan blew me away. Definitely my favorite dish out of all. Highly recommend if you prefer something sweet and savory. The salmon don was good but it was overshadowed by BOTH the pastas we got. Tasted good but nothing notable. Presentation was great though and we found that the cooked salmon was super flavorful. Actually preferred it more to the sashimi. Chuka Idako was mild, refreshing, and nutty. We weren't that big of a fan of it and probably wouldn't get it again. Overall, Izayaka Fuku was an AMAZING experience and I would give it a 10/10. Could be a little pricey but it is SOO worth it for the price. The space is super cool and we felt like we were teleported straight into a Japanese alley. Service was really fast and we got all orders really quickly. Try it!! :)

The vibes were vibing here with all the lights and decor -- it felt like an izakaya I went to in Japan. The Karaage was crispy with plenty of meat per piece, and the Gyu Don was perfectly portioned with enough veggies and not too much rice. I had a bite of the Bluefin Tuna (Maguro) Sashimi, and it tasted fresh. The service was friendly and attentive, and there wasn't too long of a wait for the food.

The service and ambiance was a great. Izakaya fuku did a really great job bringing the Japanese izakaya experience to woodside queens. I've been to Japan and honestly when I entered it felt like I was transported back to Japan. The food is so good and well balanced definitely tasted fresh and delicious If you want good karage I think they make it closest to the ones I had in Japan. Deff coming back.

This is one of the cutest & chill vibe Japanese Restaurant in Queens. The decor gives off such a traditional Japanese bar like vibe. The service was quick and efficient. They were so kind and provided anything when we needed. The food definitely 100/100. My family has ordered from this place multiple times. The food always never disappoint. Definitely recommend the fried oyster. It's so crispy and doesn't smell fishy at all. The dons are super cute too especially when they are placed in a wooden bento box. Definitely come by here if you are in Queens.

4.5. Love this place! 70's music, divey, kitschy ambiance with vintage advertising and movie posters covering the walls and tin canisters for stools. Reminiscent of a local Japanese street pub. When my party of two arrived at 9pm on a Saturday night we were seated right away. The space isn't huge but it prob seats around 30-35 people, and able to seat maybe a party of 6-7 together at the most. The place was about half full when we arrived and about 70% full when we left. First time here and we went with the: - grilled teriyaki squid $13.95: a full squid grilled and doused with teriyaki sauce, nice grill flavor, maybe slight overcooked so it was a bit on rubbery side but still very meaty. - shio saba bento box $15.95: this mackerel set had a bit of everything, two decent sized pieces of chicken karaage (Japanese style fried chicken), kani (imitation crab) salad, a Berkshire pork sausage link, half a soft boiled ramen egg, crunchy green and red cabbage, and rice. - chili garlic Hokkaido hotatae (scallop) pasta $23.95: yumm! Prob our favorite dish of the evening, this has a spicy kick and lots of roast garlic pieces. The scallops were a little underdone but nothing concerning, very tender and flavorful! Would def recommend the bento box and pasta, I will be back to try some other items too, the menu looked appealing overall. Extra half star for keeping it affordable in this day and age. Staff are friendly though our particular waitress had limited English proficiency, enough to take our orders so no other issue there. Staff came by to refill water a few times, and ask how we were doing. Toward the end of the meal they seemed to be in a bit of a rush to clear the table as they asked three times if we were finished working on a couple plates. I guess they were expecting more of a later night crowd given that they're open to 2am. Overall a very positive experience and I'm a fan! As others have said - cash only!

I'm literally obsessed with Izakaya Fuku's bentos and for good reason. The presentation is always spot on that it inspires me to make my own bento -- we'll see lol. The assortment of food included makes it feel like a healthy meal, especially the shio leaf and salad. My partner and I decided to try the fish bentos this time because it comes with karaage anyway, which is what we really wanted. However, it only comes with two pieces of karaage, whereas the karaage bento comes with at least four pieces! This makes sense because there's also the fish. The salmon bento wasn't as good as the shio saba bento. I don't know if I've ever eaten mackerel before, but it was quite tasty! Just note that the piece of mackerel is smaller than the salmon. Regardless, the two bentos were still very delicious. But I think I'll stick to karaage bento next time. I also got the eel over rice for my mom, and it was a whopping $30ish. Once I saw it, I felt much better about the price tag because it was massive and beautifully presented. If you're not a big eater, it could probably be split into two meals. Tip: if you order on their website and it gives you an estimated time for pickup, it might be done much earlier. I think I arrived 15-20 min ahead of schedule and it was already done and packed!

Izakaya Fuku is not one of those "izakayas" that serve you tiny portions of overpriced fancy food. You get the true, casual, almost divey feel of an izakaya with big portions of pan fried yakisoba and delicious takoyaki. My partner and I were seated immediately on a Friday afternoon in the back. The space is adorned with fairy lights, random Japanese posters and American rock band paraphernalia. This contributed to a casual, cozy, and chill vibe. They also have hooks to hang your coat/bags which is pretty convenient. My partner and I ordered the Garlic Soy Skirt Steak, Omu Yakisoba, and Takoyaki. The Takoyaki balls are delicious and served at a reasonable temperature that won't burn a hole in your mouth. The Omu Yakisoba was also super delicious and served in a large portion. The Garlic Soy Skirt Steak was a good balance of sweet and salty and was very tender. I have also gotten take out from here before and you can't go wrong with whatever you order. The service is attentive without being obnoxious. Our server always kept our water full, checked in during our meal, and didn't miss a beat by anticipating our every need. We were almost caught off guard because our server handed us a spiderman dvd case after our meal which contained the bill (cool concept!). With how expensive Japanese food can be in Manhattan, it's a relief to be able to find affordable, filling, and delicious Japanese food in Queens. Great find.

Izakaya Fuku is a lively gem that my friends and I frequent for its delightful karaage, crispy fries, and satisfying bento boxes. On my latest visit, I tried their black garlic ramen, which was absolutely delicious. The food here never disappoints. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making each visit enjoyable. It's the perfect spot for fun gatherings. However, remember to bring cash as they don't accept cards. Izakaya Fuku is easily one of my favorite places in Jackson Heights. Highly recommended!

Cute place, very retro(? vintage?) The food here is impeccable, every little thing is so flavorful.

Great Japanese restaurant on Roosevelt ave . Love the way they decorate their place and the atmosphere . We had the noodle with Hokkaido scallop, noodle wrap in egg and salmon over rice . The service was pretty decent . They use an old cd case as the thing to hold the receipt which is very interesting and funny . Definitely recommend this place !

Tonight's take out order from Izayaka Fuku's Japanese restaurant: Chicken Teriyaki Don This experience with Japanese takeout was delightful. The order was really fresh and flavorful, and the presentation was impressive for takeout standards (The only thing I forgot to mention was for utensils). It was a highly generous amount of food! The teriyaki was super rich, finished with a savory taste. While everything was satisfying, I think the dish could have been elevated with a tad more teriyaki sauce - a key difference from very good to the best. Nonetheless, it was a highly enjoyable meal, and would definitely order again.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon with a party of 2. Really wanted to try this place and finally we have a chance to. Place is really small yet it's cozy and they play wonderful playlists. Nothing outstanding except for their salmon skin salad. Usually it will comes chopped up but here they give you a few large fried pieces, reminds me of Irvins salmon skin without the salted egg flavoring. We also ordered Love Me Do - a variety of 3x HR [although it doesnt really look like a handroll, consists of yellowtail, maguro and sake with a bed of rice and tiny splash of fresh wasabi], salmon carpaccio, an order of hamachi sashimi [comes with 5 slices per order]. Portion wise, it's on smaller side, everything we ordered is pretty fresh, we enjoy it. Sashimi pieces were cut on a thinner end of a scope. I would've given them 5 stars but I have to take a star off because we felt we were rushed to finish off our plates. The waitresses are pretty attentive, however, we would've want to enjoy our food in peace considering the place is pretty empty, it's our table and another 2 tables that were occupied. We ordered 2x club sodas, tiny surprised, they charge $3 for each 12 oz can. I would expect to pay this kind of price in downtown not in Jackson Heights, Queens. Overall we are satisfied and happy with the outcome. If I was to order again, I would definitely get their salmon skin salad.

Creative and funky spot with a welcoming staff for any time eats but especially late night eats and drinks. They offer some sashimi, chirashi bowls and hand roll options but really come for the hot Japanese eats like fried squid tentacles, takoyaki, ramen, cod roe udon dishes, kaki fried oysters and such. Ooh they did serve my fave ankimo (monkfish liver aka foie gras of the sea) and that was super fresh and delicious!!! Loved the variety of onigiri that they served as well as the variety of grilled options like beef tongue, whole squid, mackerel to name a few. It's a tiny spot, so I wouldn't recommend this place for large groups, unless you're doing a buy out of the spot for a block of time (and not sure if they offer that) but it's great for singles, for two even four tops. Well definitely be back for more!

I had an awesome time here at Izakaya Fuku. The food is super tasty and fresh. The service is super friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is fun and chill.

For the most part, I enjoyed my time here. The food was decent and the staff was very attentive. Ordered the agedashi tofu, takoyaki, mackerel, and omu-yakisoba. I felt like the skin of the tofu wasn't fried in fresh oil. Takoyaki was crunchy and yummy. Mackerel was great. The omu-yakisoba was a bit salty. Probably ideal as a late night apt or just a space to satisfy your Japanese food cravings in this area.

Izakaya Fuku is a hidden gem in elmurst. I was super surprised n impressed by how good Izakaya is. If you are late-night-drinking-person, this could be your favorite place. Place offers all the drinking dishes, sushi, sashimi, squid, ramen. Overall, a great vibe n a great place to hangout at night.

Had dinner here on a Friday night, and it wasn't super packed. We ordered the hand roll platter, the mentai pasta and the steak. Huge compliments to the mentai pasta as it was spicy and not overly creamy. The only thing is that the bacon was very salty, so don't eat that alone!! We ordered the hand roll, and it was such a big portion. Normally hand rolls can be finished in two bites, with one small sliver of fish. Here, they gave us two huge cuts of fish per hand roll, had enough for 4-5 bites. Definitely worth the price, but the sashimi can be a bit more fresh. As for the steak, personally I loved it raw. It was a sweet bbq flavor, and very thin. A great thing to have, but my friend didn't like it as much. He felt that the steak was cold, and just not what he was looking for. But all things aside, this is definitely something to try!

The food was very salty and I needed a lot of water. Probably added MSG. Place was tight and the fan was blowing directly in me which was cold. My classic ramen is good but very salty. The black garlic ramen is also very salty. The karaage bento had too much rice and not enough veggies. But chicken is very greasy and salty. The sake was good, desai 45 We also liked the salmon carpaccio The takoyaki had too much potato flour and not enough octopus. Also spicy tuna hand roll only 1 pc for $10? Not enough to share. Bathroom is always occupied I couldn't go. Only good thing is that it's available late night.

I was able to dine in this time! I've ordered delivery but dining in is the way to go. My friend and I went around 5:30pm on a Saturday. There were still few seats available but by the time we left there were people waiting (around 7pm). It's a small place but the vibe is *chef's kiss.* Has that old school Japanese Izakaya feel but what I thought was I accepted was the English music. I don't know...I thought it would be old school Japanese music that would be playing.lol *you can reserve for larger groups because there was a group of around 6-7 for a bday dinner. We got the some small plates and all were delicious! We got the karaage, hamachi, the sashimi plate, the onigiri's, the tacko wasabi, the house sake. I wish k took pictures before we devoured it all. Everything was great and would order again. The staff was nice and efficient. Always made sure if we wanted more sake when we were out.lol I would def recommend going here!

Great date spot. Nice and romantic. It's small, cash only but a great place to get ramen. The ramen was delicious. The waiter was very attentive. The place felt like a nice authentic Japanese restaurant.

Love this spot. The ambiance, food and service have been good every time I stop by for a quick dinner or just chill. Highly Recommend Food: - Tako wasabi - raw octopus with wasabi (one of the few spots that serve this side dish) - Creamy Mentai Bacon Udon - udon with spicy cod roe and bacon - Mentaiko Mayo Yaki Onigiri - grilled rice ball with spicy marinated cod roe mixed and mayo, topped seaweed - Takoyaki Things to Note: - Cash only - Their tip guidance/suggestion is AFTER tax - starting from 20%, 22% and 25%. - For walk-ins, I do not recommend coming with a large group. Max group of 4 due to space. This place only fits about 30 customers at a time with no space to hang your coats and bags. If you're bringing more than 4, best to make a reservation.

Really really enjoyed my meal at Izakaya Fuku. The establishment is small, cozy and themed to give the feel of being in Japan. Although manned by one server, he did a good job on a Friday afternoon taking care of all the tables. On to the food, everything we ordered was spectacular. The ramen was deliciously spicy and had a deep pork flavored broth. The udon was creamy yet not overwhelming and the bacon added a nice salty touch. My favorite was the fried squid. It was fried to perfection and paired perfectly with the aioli. Overall, the portion sizes were perfect and we were stuffed by the end of our meal.

Zoomers' Delight This random restaurant choice is in Jackson Heights, a diverse and culturally exciting neighborhood in Queens, NY. Located in a strip close to many other restaurants serving different cuisines, I was actually surprised to find a Japanese-leaning menu in the neighborhood. It's filled with young people as it is affordable and accessible with small plates that's familiar and tested. I enjoyed the meal and glad to have tried it. I also love the holiday decors! #curious_eater #jacksonheights #queensnewyork #cheapeats

Ate here today for dinner by myself after work. I had tried, brought and ate the chuka idako (boiled baby octopus with sweet soy sauce) as an appetizer and the grilled squid don. It was good and delicious. The service there was attentive and pleasant that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose a meal to try for the first time. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

If you like mayonnaise and noodles I would highly suggest the mentaiko pasta. Yaki soba was a tad bit salty but overall it was very good and aesthetic. I also really enjoyed the Tonkotsu ramen. The base was very flavorful and the noodle were chewy. If you are looking for a place with many Japanese apps this place is a good option. Extra - unique design - small place - cash only - service is decent

Small restaurant but solid! They serve tapas styled food but a little expensive since it's mostly small plates. The food though is all delicious and at the end they give you your check in a old DVD box which is cute.

Izakaya Fuku is a fantastic spot with amazing decorations that create a wonderful ambiance. The service is impressively fast, ensuring you never have to wait long for your food. The music adds to the enjoyable atmosphere, making it a great place to relax and dine. You can never go wrong with ordering a pasta here; it's consistently delicious. On a previous visit, I tried their snow crab pasta. It was savory, creamy, and filled with umami flavor. Highly recommend trying it, even though it might be a little pricey.

Came here with a party of three on a Saturday night with no reservations, and was able to be seated right away. I ordered ramen which was delicious. Aside from dining here, I've also ordered takeout a handful of times and service is always friendly and my food is always fresh. Would recommend anyone looking for a good meal to stop here as they definitely have something for everyone.

Had high hopes but unfortunately felt like it was severely overrated. Came here on a Wednesday night. Food was average, service was below average. We ordered six dishes, in which the server didn't bother writing it down, which was fine, because there are lots of servers who have amazing memory. The first four dishes came relatively quickly, but after the fourth dish, the server acted as if all our dishes had been served. We then told her that we we're still pending two dishes, in which she acknowledged. Another good fifteen minutes passed after our fifth dish, and when we followed up on our last dish, it was clear that the dish had not been made. Instead of apologizing, our server came up to us and just blatantly asked us, "do you still want the fish?" To be honest we were pretty flabbergasted. First, I understand mistakes happen, but a simple apology wouldn't hurt. Second, the server acknowledged our six orders twice, but still somehow managed to forget a dish...Unfortunately will not be returning again.

Server was very friendly to us as tourists. He was very helpful and patient. He went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed. Chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, just like it should be! Thanks so much for a great dinner

I absolutely love Izakaya Fuku and highly recommend it to anyone in Elmhurst/Jackson Heights looking for good Japanese food. The vibe is very retro Japan, a great playlist but still quiet enough that you can carry on a good conversation. My favorite dishes here are the unagi-don (one of the best in the city, IMHO) and the spicy tonkotsu ramen. I also love the choya-brand yuzu soda here. Service is always friendly and attentive.

My first time trying this place after hearing about it a lot through social media. The interior is super nice and decorated with all kinds of Japanese trinkets and posters, etc. We got the below dishes and the salmon bento box was super tasty, while the creamy bacon udon was good too but had a slightly different tang to it. Service was great and we had no problem ordering and getting our drinks. If you're just passing by you might miss this space since it's right under the 7 train on the busy streets of Roosevelt. But definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for Japanese food in the area.

Great vibe, fast service and really good food. The servers were really nice to our kid and level of volume for music is perfect

Small hole in a wall place near Roosevelt Avenue in queens, good for catch up with friends for drinks & food, I loved their food menu the quality, taste & how it was presented was really good, my new favourite spot, best part I like the people who work there, they do have the patience to listen & explain what it is and the service was pretty quick too though it was super packed when I went there.

i like coming here for casual dinners with friends. it's a nice pregaming spot but can def get busy as it's a small spot. they have a nice range of japanese food which are good but not a huge fan of the way the skirt steak was cooked. the outside was cooked very heavily and the inside was basically uncooked with the fat lines still present making it tough to chew. the pasta and salmon were great tho. definitely a nice spot for light eats, i wouldn't come here for a hearty dinner as ordering a lot of things to eat can be a bit costly. nice atmosphere and the decor adds to the vibe

If you live in queens, don't bother traveling to manhattan to get izakaya. This spot gives you top tier izakaya experience with amazing food. I've been here 5 times. The food remains consistent, delicious and comes out fast. The service is exceptional. I love the music and atmosphere. It's an amazing place for you to gather with your friends to hang out or to celebrate an event. You cannot go wrong with any dish but I can say.... The mixed sashimi salad takes the award. I make sure I get this dish every single time. The sashimi salad is refreshing and light. 10/10 recommend.

I came here on a Friday evening with a reservation. The space is slightly small, so definitely recommend making a res. Most dishes are for sharing so that's what we did. We ordered sashimi salad, fried shisito peppers, karaage, mentaiko fried rice, mentaiko bacon pasta, and black garlic ramen. My friend also got a Sapporo and it was only $6, definitely a steal. Sashimi salad - saw some great reviews on this and so glad we got it. It was a large portion and a nice amount of sliced sashimi. The dressing had mustard in it so there was a nice spice. This was one of our favorites and a MUST get. Fried shisito peppers - a large portion size and the individual peppers were quite large also. Not too oily which was nice. Pretty average, not good but not bad. Karaage - these pieces were really big, really hot and fresh. Lots of chicken and the breading wasn't too thick. Would recommend this as a good starter! Mentaiko fried rice - this was good, but didn't blow us away. Probably wouldn't order this again. Mentaiko bacon pasta - really rich and creamy and on the saltier side due to the sauce and bacon. Since we shared this, we each got a couple bites which was just enough. I wouldn't be able to eat this all by myself since it's heavy. A unique dish for sure and would recommend! Black garlic ramen - I didn't try this, but it looked good and the garlic smell was really strong. My friend said this was a decently solid bowl of ramen. The interior is super cute and I loved the music they were playing. The ambiance reminds me so much of izakayas in Japan and is very casual. It's a short walk from the train station which is convenient. The prices are really great for NYC and would be a nice place to come with friends to share a bunch of dishes. Wouldn't recommend for large groups since the space is limited. Important to note that they're cash only!

Ordered takeout from here, and everything was still so good. TAKO WASABI 5/5 - fresh with a subtle heat from the wasabi and really quite good. OMUSOBA 5/5- probably my favorite thing, stirfried wait soba noodles with eggs, overlying it and kewpie mayo and Katsu sauce on top. filling ! TAKOYAKI 4/5 - good, standard UDON CARBONARA 5/5 nicely, savory from the bacon, creamy, and has a beautiful chew from the udon. I was suspicious of this fusion dish but this was actually my second favorite thing if not favorite tied with the soba.

This is a fun place for quick small plates of delicious Japanese food. Cash only! Menu:https://www.orderfukunyc.com/order The hand rolls are awesome and each one is about the size of five sushi roll pieces. The creamy mentai dishes are the right amount of noodles, bacon, cream for a savory meal. Sashimi salad uses fresh greens, around six slices of fish, roe, with a nice dressing that is sweet, with maybe some yuzu and soy sauce. Karaage uses large pieces of hot fried chicken and served with kewpie mayo. Monk fish liver is soft, well marinated.

Nice ramen place in Roosevelt Ave! They have great food here and the ambience here is like typical japan sake night! Location: It is located in Roosevelt avenue. The restaurant has few seatings, bit crowded when I got there but I got seated immediately. Interior is like a typical japan sake night! Street parking is by chance! Service: she was very attentive and fast. Did not have to wait. Food: Everything was good and delicious! IKA SANSAI: i found this interesting so I ordered it and it was delicious! It is octopus marinated with vinegar, similar to ceveche but more lighter, i think its good with sake! BLACK GARLIC TONKATSU RAMEN: omg talking about flavor!! The smell of it was devine! And when i sip on that ramen soup it was heaven! You can taste immediately the black garlic! I love garlic so I love the stronger flavor of it! The pork is soft and melts in your mouth! The noodles was perfectly cooked! Price rating: 7/10, its cheap for a perfect bowl of ramen. I will definitely come back here their other foods! But get the ramen and ika sansai!

The food was delicious and arrived quickly, the service is great, they were able to accommodate us arriving in a slightly bigger group & provide comfortable seating. The place is open late, had a wide variety of food, and a great ambiance for a late night dinner

Food is very decent here. Reasonable price. The menus gives me a fusion restaurant vibe. We tried Takoyaki, Udon Carbonara, Wasabi Raw Octopus and Creamy Mental Bacon Udon. Udon carbonara was a little too filling for me. Wasabi, raw octopus was surprisingly really good with a slimy texture. The staff were really nice too.

So, when I came here at like 10:30pm, it was really crowded and noisy. There was a bunch of drunken people and I just came in to eat. The atmosphere was really rowdy but still cool. Loved the atmosphere, it felt just like a classy retro Japanese style bar. It definitely had vibes. The pasta was really really good, sweet yet savory with a hint of spice. It suited my filipino tastebuds really well and if you add the lemon from the gyu tan, it's really fresh. The gyu tan was so tender and I loved the gamey flavor so much. The wasabi was really really good. Loved the atmosphere and the food but due to the noise and the small area, wouldn't go back. Loved it so much though.

Super cute vibes, the food was good and there was a lot of variety. Well priced also!!
