Somethin on Myrtle

The food was amazing I swear I didn’t even know all I saw was salmon on the menu and being hungry I said give me that and give me the lamb chops over rice. When the meal arrived I saw two sticks with what looked like chicken tender on it. Thought for a sec to say hey this is not mine but picked it up and took a tenderly bite of soft fried salmon on a stick sheesshhh!!! My taste buds have been so satisfied, that after three days my mouth is still watering. I mean the rice was great and the lamb chops were cooked to perfection. The vibe was great and the new Tokyo Drift drink fulfilled my every desire of tequila. I’m glad I did it the way I did meaning I came in bought two drinks sat at the bar and waited a bit for the food so it was perfectly timed given me chance to down my drinks and get a bit nice and ready for the meal. Swear to god it was 1000% worth the wait. This is coming from a person who DOESN’T WRITE REVIEWS! Great experience love the guys and gals running thee establishment. Will definitely be back. There is

The Restaurant Something on Myrtle atmosphere was calming. I love the art wall and the music was soothing. I must admit, I was feeling a little down today but once I walked in I felt good about my surroundings. They waiter was young and well mannered. I ordered the fried snapper, fresh spinach and Mac and cheese. When I tell you that fish was awesome, I mean it. The spinach was not salty but well seasoned just how I like it. My Mac and cheese was also good. Only thing I was missing was a piece of lemon I forgot to ask for. The owner was very nice and made sure the customers were taken care of. I will go back!!!! Please check them out!

My family and I enjoyed our dinner. All the food we tried was flavorful. We had the oxtail & shrimp dumplings, shrimp and lobster fried rice and the wings. Our waitress was extremely attentive and even ensured our (very tasty) drinks were made correctly after an accidental mishap. We will definitely keep this on our restaurants to visit list when we are in Brooklyn again.

The food was decent, They didn't have shrimp so, I ordered the lobster with broccoli and rice and the lamb chops plate. The rum punch was worth the money. I had little buzz. They do have happy hour just incase you are wondering. The waitress was very pleasant and polite.

Very intimate spot where they have a good variety of food to pick from. Our dishes were very yummy, especially the calamari. We were discouraged at first because there was only one guy working; He was host, bartender, waiter, and bus boy. He made our drinks immaculately so shoutout to him for being attentive the entire time.

Visited Brooklyn this past weekend and decided to stop by Somethin’ on Myrtle with a gf for dinner and drinks. This was a cute & quaint restaurant boutique in the midst of some other popular eateries on Myrtle Ave. They have a live DJ (IG: @djjeffhaze) that provided great music to vibe too. And they also offer Hookah as well. Somethin’ on Myrtle is an asian fusion restaurant that provides everything from vibes to libations. For our appetizers, we ordered the catfish & lobster bites. The server explained that they were out of lobster but offered us salmon & shrimp bites. We received the salmon but the shrimp was missing lol. The salmon wasn’t overly seasoned, it was fresh & tasty and it was served with 3 different house sauces (soy/sesame sauce, creamy scotch bonnet sauce and sriracha aioli sauce). We also ordered the Maryland style crab cakes in which we had to return because they were cold. When we received the second batch, the crab cakes were still cold. Feels like the crab cakes are made in advanced and sat prior to being served. We told the server and we were told that we would get complimentary drinks but I don’t believe that happened. I ordered that Holy Grail drink which was $20. This drink was delicious as it contained the following: D’usse Cognac, Passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit Puree, Cointreau, Fresh Lemon Juice, Fee Foam. I enjoyed this drink as I love passion fruit and the taste of lemon juice complimented this drink well. My gf ordered the Blueprint drink which was $18. She thoroughly enjoyed her drink as well as it contained Bulliet Bourbon Whiskey, Fresh Lemon Juice, Agove, and Muddled Blueberries. We received a complimentary Side Car drink. Besides the drinks, I think our entrees stole the show and made up for the hiccups regarding the lackluster appetizer crab cakes. My gf suggested that oxtail. I ordered oxtail with vegetable fried rice. And she ordered the oxtail with lo mein. I thoroughly enjoyed my dish. I wasn’t able to finish it but it tasted even better the next day. I asked for a side of extra oxtail gravy and I’m so glad I did that! Our server was very pleasant and so was the owner. A part from them not have certain things on the menu & cold appetizers, I will definitely return mainly for the oxtail. The oxtail was tender, well seasoned and had a little kick. They also provided a nice portion of oxtail as well. Overall, I’ll give them an 8 out of 10.

If you're looking for a spot with great vibes, amazing happy hour deals, and some of the best wings in the area, Something on Myrtle is the place! Their drinks are on point, and the happy hour prices make it even better. Plus, they've got hookah for just $25, which is a steal. The real surprise? It’s not even packed! You can chill out with your drinks, wings, and hookah without fighting for space. If you haven't been, you’re missing out—thank me later!

Went as a party of 5 for dinner, had a reservation, but it was not needed. The restaurant is quite small but is visually appealing due to the artwork on the wall and associated decor. The could definitely use some new booth seating and to figure out the table cloths, as the tables were just covered in white paper. The food... they were out of the half-chicken, but made a good substitution with the 'satay' chicken. The snapper wasn't quite the escovitch I was expecting and somewhat salty, but came with a nice sauce to balance it out. The lobster and broccoli tasted heavily of sesame oil, really killing the dish which was already quite small in portion size to begin with. Best dish was the oxtail lo mein! The oxtail dumplings were pretty tasty Service was decent. They frequently come to fill our water. The younger men there didn't seem too enthusiastic with our table (other than water), but definitely more engaged with the table of young women that came in--just an observation. The check...was fine until I noted a 20% fee which I had to clarify was actually gratuity. No where on the menu did it state that there was a mandatory 20 percent. This equated to an additional 60 dollars on our bill for service that was just adequate. However, we paid and were on our way. Would I return, probably not, but definitely not the worst experience. I would be open to trying some other things on the menu, but probably wouldn't go out of my way.

Drinks was great. Chicken wings was so big that I had to send them back. I do not like big ass Chicken. Other than that all other food was great, taste was there fr. I'll definitely go back.

The atmosphere was inviting, the music was great, and our server, Dime, was excellent—patient, friendly, and accommodating. However, the food was overly salty, especially the garlic butter shrimp and mashed potatoes. The timing of the dishes was also uncoordinated, with starters and mains brought out together. The snapper was well-prepared, but the jerk chicken lacked authentic flavor and tasted more like barbecue. With better seasoning balance less salt and improved timing, the overall experience would be much stronger.

Food was okay, nothing you can’t get anywhere else. We came on a Monday so it was fairly chill, with it being chill (no more than 4 tables the service was still absolutely horrible). Hookah took over 30 mins for the first initial order and the refill and food took longer. If you’re looking for a SUPER laid back vibe this is your place. We had to hunt down the server not once but twice for basic things like water. If you want good service, avoid this place.

The service was very poor waited forever for a fork and napkins. They only had one person taking orders,seating and making drinks. The food came out all over the place Had to tell them more then once about not receiving things I ordered as well as my drinks. The food was mid my wings tasted freezer burnt amd over cooked the oxtail empanadas were bland and my lamb Chops were not cooked and salty.

the pictures look good however on a Friday night all the food the advertised they did not have no calamari, no chicken wings, the advertised oxtail dumplings..they did not have it..no seltzer water..the main course a seafood course they did have mussels. very expensive..very disappointing.

I could not be more disappointed in this restaurant tonight. I drove an hour and 15 minutes to this restaurant and this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. When you first come into this establishment, it’s nice look. We wanted to order. May I add how dirty the menus were but we stayed and tried to order. Let’s start with the appetizers out of 10 appetizers that they had on the menu. They only had three available I mean no oxtails empanadas flatbread. So we ended up ordering the Garlic butter, shrimp it came out with no butter or garlic on them and the shrimp was cold. Let’s start with the main menu. They had a Friday special on the menu that was spaghetti and fried fish so I tried to order that that was also unavailable so my fiancé ordered maple fried chicken and it was about $25. It came out with two pieces of chicken, A leg and a thigh that was split in two piecesI will display the pictures he also ordered garlic, mashed potatoes. It came out just plain mashed potatoes, no butter,no garlic, water, watery, and cold. I ordered plain wings they fried them very hard and I was unable to eat them. nowhere on their menu that said everything was à la cart so for every item you had to pay for it. It was false Advertisement speaking of false advertisement when you look up their menu online it’s a whole different menu . What you think you’re coming to eat is not what they have prepared. The food was lousy. The tables are dusty food in the seats. The plates were cracked and chip. This was a date for the books. I will never ever recommend this restaurant to anyone. Please look at reviews before you go to these restaurants because if I had did my homework, I would have seen the reviews from this week and last week explaining the same experience I had there tonight Please do not patronize this restaurant until they can get their stuff together like I was told from someone in the restaurant that they just opened back up they should’ve stayed closed. This chicken was $25 they need to be ashamed of themselves. This whole bill came up to $97 the worst $97 dollars I have ever spent.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!! You are getting COSTCO BOXED FOOD HEATED IN A OVEN!!!!!! The table were dirty and they put a white piece of paper over it to cover up the fact that it was dirty n sticky The bathroom was nasty with poop in the toilet They serve plastic except glass plates, no silverware or class cups you get Plastic cups and a cheap dollar store plastic fork with no cutting utensil n one piece of very thin cheap napkin I had to ask for extra the server comes up and says: yeah what do you want? We ordered , and red snapper and lamb my partners food came out a full 18 minutes before my food was served and the guy that served the food had long dirty fingernails I asked for silverware The waiter said : all we give out is plastic forks! The wings and the lamb was bought at Costco I know because I buy there it’s the same And it’s out of a box there is nothing exclusive about they’re cooking they are heating up Costco‘s box food and putting it on a glass plate with a plastic fork They are overwhelmingly overpriced $200 for this!!!! they are charging tavern on the green prices for less than McDonald’s food, and service i want to support but People we gotta do better!!!!!!

Arrived for lunch and it was only 1 other table besides mine and our wait for service was 20 min. Then it took over an hour and half to recieve our food. I stayed hoping the food will be worth it but that only made it worse. Has potential but I wouldn’t reccomend.

I rated this a 1 because I had a party of 4 to meet there yesterday for a birthday celebration of one of the women in my party of 4. Two of them including the one who's birthday was yesterday took access a ride to get there. Upon reaching there around 2:15pm we see the restaurant is closed even though every social media and the website stated it was open and the hours were 2-11pm. This was our first time there and we wanted to check out this restaurant because we heard it was really good food and drinks there. It was so disappointing because we saw a gentleman come out around 2:30pm and I asked why was the restaurant closed when it states it opens 2-11pm. He said to us that they dont open until 4pm and I told him we had people meeting there to celebrate a birthday so he called the owner who I did speak to and he informed me that yes they open at 4pm and I let him know we had people on their way there to celebrate a birthday. He asked did we have a reservation. No, we didnt need a reservation to meet there for lunch so he said he would call the guy's phone back in a few min which never happened so we all ended up going to the Mexican restaurant a few doors down. Someone needs to change the hours to the correct hours on all social media sites and their website on Google so this does not happen to people traveling to this establishment.

It would've been nice if we were actually able to eat here. Google and Instagram stated they opened at 2pm on Saturdays. My two elderly parents made it there after 2pm only to find them closed. When inquired about the time, they were told by staff that they changed their opening time to 4pm two weeks ago. A little disappointing, but they were cool with waiting. After 4pm, my parents returned again only to find the door locked and yet again, denied entry into the restuarant. The only explanation they received was "You cant sit down because we are doing 'something'. What kind of business are you running? If you were closed for the day, a sign or update on social media would be the least you could do. And the dismissiveness of the staff was off putting. We will not be returning. And due to the other reviews, this was a blessing in disguise. Simply put, do better.

I went here last year with my girlfriend and the food/vibe was amazing! No complaints but…unfortunately I came in for dinner and had a terrible dining experience. I was upset the menu was so limited and when I got my crab & spinach dip it was nothing but watery cheese and spinach. It wasn’t edible and even the server told the cook it was watery. I kid you not you would’ve thought I ordered a bowl of cereal with spinach in it. I ordered my main dish which was better than the spinach dip. Other than that the music was great and we had a good waiter.

We arrived with high hopes having eaten here last year. We promptly tried to order and each time were told that the item was not available. No lamb chops, no empanadas, no ox tail, no Friday Special on a Friday night, no maple glazed chicken! We finally ordered and after waiting for 30 minutes our server brought out a burnt chicken flatbread that was absolutely inedible. The burnt look and burnt smell should have been enough for the server to not even bring it out - but he did! We promptly sent it back and waited for our main meal. No apologies from the server. No checking for drink refresh. After asking, we were provided with plastic grade school cafeteria utensil packages. After being assured that our food was coming, we gave up at the 1 hour and 15 minute mark. At one point we saw the server leave and run to a nearby store!!!! The best thing about this place was the old school R&B music - if we could have eaten that we would have been happy. We are now at another local spot- dining, drinking, vibing, and satisfied! We always support black owned, but please do better! We live locally, dine out frequently, eat well and tip better. We are the customers you should be coveting, not disrespecting with such an abysmal experience.

After seeing this restaurant on tik tok I assumed the food and service was going to be amazing…it was not. The server was very nice but the kitchen was extremely slow and many menu choices were not available! Please save your time and do not order anything fried bc it will come out burned and disgusting! I ordered the stuffed salmon mac and broccoli which was delicious and my husband ordered the Rasta pasta that was also really good but the other people in our party weren’t so lucky. Lastly the owner is very unprofessional and knows nothing about customer service! We were told 2 sides come with each meal but once we received the bill we saw that we were charged for extra sides. The owner refused to take these items off or to come to our table to speak with us! My mother had to go over to him to discuss and it was finally rectified! Please save your time and money and do not go to this restaurant!

Write a formal review of the restaurant Something on Myrtle, first and foremost called in to the restaurant at 3:59pm acquiring about reservation, and the gentleman on the phone claimed no reservation was needed and low and behold the same voice met us at the host booth, claiming reservations were needed, there was nothing on the restaurant’s website that implied about reservations or how to inquire about booking reservations. The worst host in the world just continued to walk back and fourth rubbing his head and nervously squeezing his nose, he didn’t ask anyone if they had reservations for about 35 minutes and that was after I questioned the manager about the organization of the establishment. She warned us that in fact reservations had to be booked but she would assist us. Another 30 minutes and we were seated at a dusty clothes cover table and everything we attempted to order was out of stock. After finally ordering the maple fried chicken, 30 minutes later the manager came over to let us know the maple fried chicken was out as well, and only offered a comp drink. The clock struck 10pm and after arriving at 8:30pm I still had not had my food, while a couple that was sat 30 minutes prior to me was told they had to wait 20 more minutes. Yikes! @ 10:36 we decided we are going to just pay for the drinks we drank and take a lost on the meal itself it’s not been worth the two hour wait and let’s not mention the disgusting bathroom! That looks as if it hadn’t had any tender love or care since last year 2025! If I could have gave zero stars I would have!
