Went here for Valentine’s Day and reserved through Resy. Great food and a great atmosphere. Metered parking is available nearby, which was convenient. Definitely coming back soon. I highly recommend the chicken satay, best I’ve had in NYC, and the 7 Long Years drink

Made my way to Greenpoint to checkout @samastreetbk and had an amazing Friday night Service was fantastic and the vibes and decor were so chill but sophisticated at the same time! Loved the drinks menu (forgot to take a pic of the physical menu but it’s super cute) and they were creative and tasty. I could definitely feel the alcohol at works, but our drinks were great that we were not about to stop My favorite bites were the beef koi (perfectly spicy) and the pork ribs (not the typical bbq sauce)! Fried rice was saltier than usual Taiwanese flavors so it gave me HK vibes. Chicken bao reminded me more of Southeast Asian flavors like Thai and Vietnamese. Overall, definitely a very cool Asian fusion spot to indulge on the yummy cocktails, munch on some delicious food, and have a good time with friends!

I'm glad I've only just found out about this place or I would have never dined anywhere else! The drinks are obviously shear perfection, they aren't simple cocktails, but a marvelous experience that involves all senses. The masterful sage of spices, the garnish, the fruit combo, the whole mix is designed with deep vision and delivered with extreme care. You will truly want to sip on this liquid deliciousness for as long as you can, study it's layers, taste every note. As expected, the food is just as outstanding. The menu is incredibly smart, little portions, almost like Asian tapas, but the food are selected carefully, they're carby, starchy, very filling. The fried chicken bao and the noodles were absolutely the best, I would have ordered another couple of rounds of both, but all the rest was also amazing. Got the mantou with gravy which is an absolute geniality, the pancakes were spicy, warm, crunchy, sweet, what a treat. The steak salad was refreshing, a perfect selection after such heavy dishes. I loved the usage of cilantro, lemongrass and ginger, it reminded me so much of my years back in China. I would probably say the only thing I didn't enjoy particularly was the rice. I like the fact that it was actually crunchy, but the taste was overall too sweet and a bit too salty. Overall, a beautiful meal in a beautiful restaurant with incredible atmosphere and service, I can't wait to go back to taste more cocktails and try out the rest of the menu. And probably give a big kiss to the chef!

Extremely underrated and surprising cocktail. We parked in the front of the bar to walk across the street for dinner. After dinner, we notice that this bar have more interesting drink cocktail and they do not disappoint. Since then, I have already been back twice. The flavor profile to combining ingredient that you don’t usually see was eye opening. I must say out of all the cocktail I have tried so far, I only dislike the sambee. Just personal preference. However I love the 7 long year and major Tom. Also, jacket required is very good if you like a twist on old fashion. Come give this a try!

Low key cocktail bar serving up interesting and delicious concoctions. Walk ins are accepted for seating at the bar but the tables required reservations on a Saturday night. All of the cocktails were really good and I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Heard a lot of good things about this place. And it’s not disappointing at all. If you’re cocktail lovers then this is the one. I ordered 7 long years, guava cake and Major Tom. They are very smooth and unique. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. The service is very friendly. Will come next time to try their food.
