Best Lunch Restaurants in College Point

Had an amazing brunch at Tootles and French for my boyfriend’s birthday on Sunday, and it definitely exceeded our expectations! The menu isn’t overwhelming and every dish we had was flavorful and well-executed. The cocktails were great, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. The owner was incredibly welcoming—he even gave us a house liquor on the way out as a thank you and shared details about their upcoming events (which I’m excited to check out!). A highlight was the live music, which was such a pleasant surprise—perfect volume, adding to the atmosphere without being too loud. Definitely a new favorite spot in Astoria, and I can’t wait to come back!

This has been my favorite Omakase experience of all. It is a bit pricier than some omakase’s but it is worth the extra money, every single piece was incredible, especially the first dish. Their Valentines special was amazing and I would definitely come back again next year again!

Our waiter Ben was outrageous. Very knowledgeable about the menu and what pairs well with each item. Bone marrow was perfect consistency and the braised short rib toast compliments the marrow perfectly. The dry aged steak was amazing and cooked exactly as requested. The fillet mignon was tender and cooked to perfection. Make and cheese was just the right mix of cheese pasta and bread crumbs. Look forward to dining again there.

I looooveeee Lena! Ambiance, food, staff, everything! The only thing is that they take a little* too long when it comes to the drinks!

Kaizen feels like stepping into a hidden oasis. The lighting is soft, the staff greets you like an old friend, and the chefs move with the precision of artists. Before I even took a bite, I knew I was in for something special
