I’ve been wanting to come here for a long time but been pushing it off because I wasn’t too familiar with Filipino food and just by reading the menu didn’t give me a clear idea of what to expect. I’m glad we finally went because what really hooks you are the incredible flavors that cant be fully described. You have to come try it yourself. There seemed to be quite a few regulars during our visit. The restaurant is cozy and intimate with only 16 seats. Everything we had was good, but the trout really stood out. The skin was bursting with flavor despite appearing lighty seasoned. I believe it was torched, giving it a slightly crispy texture. The duck was also excellent, smoked and very tender. The duck fried rice was a chef’s kiss. Beef longganisa was another delicious dish. We will likely swap out momo and cauliflower for something else next time. Cannot wait to come back!
We had an exceptional dining experience at Ramro. The intimate ambiance made it perfect for date night. We came for the 6-course tasting menu on a Saturday and were glad we made reservations in advance since seating is limited. Each course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. My personal favorites were the appetizers, the crudo, and the saag pasta — all bursting with flavor. The duck was seared and cooked to perfection, and the Queen’s Crown cocktail was absolutely divine! The chef and service were top-notch, making the entire experience feel warm and thoughtfully curated. Highly recommend this gem in Astoria — don’t miss out on this unforgettable dining experience!
I’ve eaten here twice now and both times the food was exceptional. The restaurant is cozy and the service is very personalized. Service is a bit on the slower slide but only because they cook everything fresh (open kitchen for you to observe, I love sitting by the bar). Any time there is a hiccup, they go out of their way to make it up to you. The food is worth the wait. My favorite is the duck and the noodles.
Ramro is a beautiful hidden gem in Astoria! A Filipino and Nepali food mixed together! It’s very original and extremely good. If you live in Astoria you should come here for a dinner out on a date or with a friend. This place is on the smaller side but it makes it up on being very intimate. The food is incredible! The service was outstanding and we only had one waiter/chef/bartender. Yep he did it all and he was phenomenal. (They don’t normally only have one chef but it was slow when we attended.) Honestly you should not miss this experience! We are going back for sure for the Ramro noodles and the momos! Oh my god so good! 10/10⭐⭐⭐
Incredible cocktails & insane flavor combinations. We rarely get to try Nepali flavors & the dishes here blew us a way. The momos & beef longanisa were mouth waterinly savory. The new ube gnocchi dish had the most delectable cream sauce, that had us wishing we'd ordered a second round. The Panda Sour & the Duck Duck Daiquiri had us savoring every last drop. The goat cheese ice cream was the perfect ending to our meal, it was perfectly smooth, rich, & sweet. Can't wait to come back!
We were excited to try this local gem. The staff were kind and helpful in explaining the menu. We ordered the momos, walnut cauliflower, kaldereta (lamb), sinaing (skate wing), ube ko achar, and for dessert, the silvanas and cheddar ice cream. Overall, the flavors were just okay and didn’t quite live up to the hype or reflect a strong signature style. That said, a few items stood out, particularly the ube ko achar and the desserts. The ube ko achar was a unique dish; you don’t often come across ube gnocchi, and it offered something different. The silvanas were nicely balanced and not overly sweet. The cheddar ice cream absolutely blew us away - the combination of cheddar and parmesan with the sweetness of the ice cream and a touch of olive oil was surprisingly well-balanced and memorable. I'd come back for the ice cream alone. Still, as a whole experience, it didn’t quite win us over. It was worth trying once.
