Honzen Japanese Eatery
Japanese set-meal dining with a technique-first, plated approach.

Notable Picks

$$$ Old Astoria-Hallets Point Japanese
A set-meal-driven Japanese kitchen that leans into classical technique and composed plating rather than roll-shop familiarity. It’s strongest when you treat it like a curated progression—one refined starter, one main, and a clean finish—so the kitchen’s precision stays the focus.
Must-Try Dishes: Uni toro toast, Hamachi kama, Unagi don
What makes it special: Japanese set-meal dining with a technique-first, plated approach.

Worthy Picks

$$$$ Old Astoria-Hallets Point Spanish
A lounge-style venue that mixes dining with nightlife—more about vibe, drinks, and the room than a tight Spanish menu. The paella and seafood-driven plates are the safest bets if you want to keep the meal anchored to Spanish flavors.
Must-Try Dishes: Seafood Paella, Seafood Salad, Classic Crab Cakes
What makes it special: A dining-lounge hybrid with Spanish-leaning entrees like paella.
