Roosevelt Avenue Dining Guide
Barbecue Into the Early Hours
At Sik Gaek, staff cook at the table. Korean barbecue anchors a meal in a dining room framed by custom woodwork and traditional hanji and munsal paper-door patterns. A seafood hot pot brings lobster, crab legs and clams together in broth. The restaurant is on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. It closes at midnight Sunday through Thursday and stays open until 1:00 AM on Friday and Saturday.
Woodside Comfort Cooking
Handmade chicken and beef momos anchor the menu at Rasuwa Lirung Restaurant. This Roosevelt Avenue spot serves Nepali and Indo-Chinese food in a clean, unfussy dining room. Find the restaurant at 63-02 Roosevelt Ave in Queens. It opens at 10:00 AM Tuesday through Sunday and closes at 10:30 PM. The restaurant is closed on Mondays. Alongside the momos, double-fried pork chilly offers another way to try the kitchen's Indo-Chinese dishes.
Shared Street, Separate Traditions
Sik Gaek and Rasuwa Lirung Restaurant share Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, with distinct ways of putting food on the table. The first centers Korean barbecue cooked by staff at your table, alongside seafood hot pots and pancakes. The second brings Nepali and Indo-Chinese cooking into focus through handmade chicken and beef momos and double-fried pork chilly. Across both menus, the range extends beyond barbecue or dumplings to include broth, seafood and pork.
