The Restaurant Arverne Reviews
I just finished my event here today, 1/16/26, 7pm-9pm, called Power-up Open Mic. Our mission is to empower the communities of NYC's 5 Boroughs through open mic(please check us out on IG, @gsiaap) and I was about to order my fave: Vegetable.Edamame dumplings and cider when the manager Tony offered me an order on the house❤️ So, I ordered them! Thank you, Tony! ❤️ I learned about this place last 2023 summer, on my first day of learning how to surf: they let me use their restroom even though I wasn't a paying customer🙏I had to use before I went to the train station which is located just behind the bar. I noticed how tidy and cleaned their restroom was! And the place ambiance is welcoming and most especially the bar tenders: so polite and friendly❤️ Their food on the list looks delicious! But, I was only in the mood to much on their Vegetable Edamame : I just can't believe there's such thing! Whenever I go to Japanese restaurant, I have toalways have Edamame in the side and they were served on a plate _hot and greenery! I have to open its skin. But Tiki Bar has dumplings of Edamame!❤️ So far, without googling, they are the only place I know that has this🥰 #meiscrazywithedamame
Shannon was an outstanding bartender. Despite the high volume of customers, she managed to provide attentive, efficient, and high-quality service to everyone. Her proactive approach ensured that no one was left waiting and that every guest received exceptional attention. I would highly recommend visiting this establishment as long as Shannon is part of the team.
While biking along the beach with my son, we got hungry and were heading toward Subway — he wasn’t sure we could find anything tastier or healthier nearby. That’s when we spotted this cozy little sushi café-bar. We decided to take a chance — and wow, what a discovery! We sat outside to keep an eye on our bikes and picked a few items at random: gyoza, a poke bowl, a roll, and French fries. And honestly, everything exceeded our expectations — fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. Let me take a moment to rave about the fries — they were pure perfection: crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy fries anywhere else after this. I swear, they’ve either got a secret seasoning… or a bit of kitchen magic going on. The poke bowl was beautifully balanced and fresh. Instead of the usual beans, it had green peas — I usually prefer beans, but I suspect they were out and made a thoughtful substitution. It still worked! A special shoutout to the staff: even though we didn’t order drinks, they brought us cold water with ice on a hot day — a simple gesture that made a big difference. I’m definitely coming back with my whole family. If you’re in the area — don’t pass this place by. It’s a hidden gem that knows how to make you feel welcome and well-fed.
Found this little gem on a recent visit to Rockaway Beach. It was rather cold out and I ducked inside to warm up and grab a bite. Dry January didn’t limit me - bartender whipped up a very delicious, soothing Tiki Toddy to take the chill off sans alcohol. Chose the onigiri for a quick bite and it was amazing. Great service.
Fun and tasty spot, much better than it has to be! In fact, the fries with togarashi seasoning were excellent, arriving very hot and very crisp! The dumplings were also tender and delicious, and naturally the drinks were well made and strong, often using freshly squeezed juices -- we had our Zombies and Singapore Sling in the festive tiki cups, required a deposit to keep them from walking off ... Outdoor seating is available, but we opted for an indoor table, seated at a lovely patterned banquette with fun décor surrounding ... Highly recommended beach stop
I honestly had doubts about this spot but since the Rockaway’s short on options, decided to give it chance and let me tell you, definitely wasn’t disappointed. The roasted chicken poke bowl had a lot of flavor and was very light, filling, and healthy in its own way. The pork dumpling were pretty good too. Order was quick too, no more than 12 mins to receive the food. Took it togo and I wished I stayed to try the drinks because of all of them looked pretty amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Nice cozy quiet little spot tucked away. You could almost miss this gem... The food took a little long to come out due to a printer malfunction but the staff made up for it with an apology and guacomole and chips on the house. The food was so delicious. I would change absolutely nothing about it. Fresh and tasty... I'd go back anytime I'm in the area.
Decent vegan options here! We visited and got two kinds of Bao buns - a mushroom one & the marinated tofu one (the mushroom was better than the tofu) We also got the tofu poke bowl which was delicious! Lots of toppings and lots of flavor. None of the sliders could be made vegan bc of the Hawaiian rolls and the dumplings also couldn’t be made vegan, but there were some other vegan appetizers - the corn nuggets for sure. Service was great - the waitress was vegetarian and allergic to eggs (if I remember correctly) so she was knowledgeable and very helpful! Overall, I wish they would put in a little more effort to make things more vegan adaptable.
Service was slow bartender barely acknowledged the two other patrons including myself. He finally said something but said he was backed up. Drink had barely any liquor in it. I give it one more shot but it was a no go for me this night. Atmosphere and vibe was good.
Food and drinks were totally fine, atmosphere solid but service was super slow. We eventually left because no one ever came back to our table to ask if we wanted anything else. We walked up to the bar for the check.
