Hoa Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in New York

If I could give this place a 0 I would. I was coming out of town and was looking for a place my siblings and I could enjoy our time. We were reunited after yearsss apart! My younger brother went through the line first (he is such a gentleman) to lead the rest of his sisters through. Not only did the security guard stop him but he urged him to take his pants all the way down to his knees, exposing his underwear and legs. The security guard then proceeded to aggressively grab my brother’s testicles and penis. The rest of the employees outside of HOA stood there laughing while my brother was visibly uncomfortable. When I asked the security guard why he was taking such extreme measures to search my brother, he communicated that he heard a “beeping” noise coming from my brother’s private area. My brother brought no electronics out with us, so I knew that was untrue. The other guards say “if you don’t like it, you can leave”and that is exactly what we did. I couldn’t imagine them searching me like that. 10 minutes later NYPD stormed the whole establishment. I live in an area where it’s the “party Mecca” and have never experienced this type of search or invasion. I looked up some reviews from TikTok (lol) AND on Google and they say similar things. Anyways…. Steer clear of this place not worth the embarrassment...

I recently had a fantastic experience at House of Astoria . The ambiance was captivating, with dim lighting and comfortable seating creating a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, guiding us through an extensive menu of flavorful hookah options.

The hookah itself was top-notch, delivering rich and smooth smoke with a variety of enticing flavors. The food menu was equally impressive, offering a diverse range of delicious dishes that complemented the overall experience. From savory appetizers to mouthwatering main courses, every dish was prepared with care and tasted delightful.

What truly stood out was the attention to detail in both service and presentation. The staff took the time to ensure our hookah was always fresh, and the presentation of each dish was visually appealing. The music added to the ambiance, striking the perfect balance between lively and soothing.

Whether you're a seasoned hookah enthusiast or a first-timer, House of Astoria provides a welcoming environment for all. It's an excellent place to unwind, socialize, and indulge in a sensory journey. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone seeking a memorable hookah and...

Honestly I’m annoyed I even chose this spot to celebrate my cousins birthday. I made a reserved a table with a birthday package for Saturday night for 5 people. They gave us A TABLE not even a section… mind you the table was for 4 people. I asked to be moved to a different table they said no. I asked to be moved to a section with a couch they said i needed to buy 3 bottles not 2. Which annoyed me because I paid $400 for 2 bottles and have to sit basically at a damn kitchen table not an actual section in a lounge/club. The bottle girl gave me the credit card machine and had an extra tip selected on it, and I’m not stupid I go to the club all the time. So i made sure to ask was gratuity already added and of course she said it was. We bought a hookah NEVER EVER GOT A REFILL OR COALS THE WHOLE NIGHT AFTER WE TOLD THE HOOKAH GIRL MULTIPLE TIMES. Honestly i was so aggravated by the whole situation, I ended up leaving at 2. Such a waste of money never again. Couldn’t even tell you where the bottle girl went she never even came back to check on us. Probably mad i didn’t tip her extra but oh well. The atmosphere was cool but when you have people bumping into you and your table...
