Opened in Flushing during the height of the pandemic and recently expanded to Long Island City, the restaurant is known for its soulful broths, vibrant street-food classics, and refined takes on traditional dishes. At the heart of the kitchen is Chef Papa (Chef Truong), a Vietnamese-born chef with over 30 years of experience in both home-style cooking and New York’s top dining institutions. His philosophy—respect for ingredients, precision in technique, and unwavering authenticity—shapes the menu and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that guests return for.

      Soothr LIC draws inspiration from the bustling heart of Bangkok’s Yaowarat Chinatown, bringing it to life with greater depth and dimension. Where the East Village location captured the charm of a hidden alley, the new location in Long Island City will unfold an immersive journey through the many facets of Chinatown life.
      By day, guests can wander into a homey tea house, steeped in comfort and tradition, or find solace in a serene garden—a peaceful retreat amid the urban sprawl. By night, the ambiance evolves. A nostalgic jazz club, brimming with classic melodies, evokes the golden age of Chinatown nightlife, while a majestic private banquet room offers an elegant space for gatherings that blend the old with the new in timeless fashion.
      Soothr LIC will be a celebration of Yaowarat from sunrise to moonlight—a historical neighborhood reimagined, where tradition and modernity intertwine seamlessly.

      Our menu is designed to welcome everyone, from first-time sushi eaters to seasoned connoisseurs. We even make our soy sauce in-house, adding a touch of sweetness to complement its umami depth. And since we serve our sushi temaki-style, you can skip the chopsticks and enjoy it the traditional way, by hand.
      We proudly fly in our uni overnight from Hokkaido, source the finest cuts of A5 Wagyu directly from Japan, and ensure that all our fish are fresh and locally sourced. For those who prefer cooked options, we offer shrimp tempura, fire-roasted eel, and miso black cod.
      Every roll is served one at a time, ensuring the seaweed stays perfectly crisp so every bite ends with that satisfying crunch. Behind each dish is a team of chefs dedicated to precision, creativity, and the belief that sushi should be as beautiful as it is delicious.

      The first Serafina in Queens. Our ovens have been serving the best Italian in NYC for almost 30 years - now Long Island City gets to experience it.
      What started as one restaurant has grown into a beloved fixture - the kind of place where regulars know the staff and the occasional celebrity slips in unnoticed. Our take on Italian comfort food just works, whether it's our classic pizzas or those pasta dishes that keep people coming back.
      Afternoon cocktails? Come on in. Craving fresh pasta? We've got you. Date night dinner? This is your spot. Right on Jackson Avenue, a block from MoMA PS1 and steps from the Vernon-Jackson 7-train.
      Book your table. Queens has been waiting long enough.
