in:Being a part of this sub since it’s inception makes me laugh how literally every food report has the exact same spots on them. Hope it becomes more common to venture off the beaten path and find the spots that aren’t on TikTok and eater mag. What’s a non hyped spot you tried lately that you enjoyed?5 pts
replying to u/BigDonnyF: i have mentioned it before in this sub but honestly, Jora a peruvian restaurant in long island city is amazing, top 3 in the city for me. Cool vibe, amazing food (that also looks amazing) and not ridiculous prices. i really do recommend it. [https://www.jorany.com/](https://www.jorany.com/) no i dont work there, but if someone from Jora see's this give me a discount please.
“One of my favorite restaurants! Went last night for the fifth time in the last year. Which is…a lot for me. Probably the restaurant I have gone to the most in the city. It is truly consistent!”

replying to u/Worried_Plum1373: I’m actually trying to take someone out for their birthday. How does Jora compare to the Llama restaurants. Don’t want to skim on quality but don’t want to pay the Llama price point. Do they compare and which is better? Appreciate it thanks
“I think the taste is great at both places, but perhaps the dishes are just a step more refined at the Llamas? Actually, the ceviche I had at Jora reminded me of one that I used to really like at Llamita, one that also has fried calamari in it.”

replying to u/Adodie: It still is far from the same level of many other NYC neighborhoods, but as you note, definitely a growing scene here. Some restaurants I like quite well: * Adda * Jora * Hupo * Casa Enrique (former Michelin restaurant -- I like it, but think the loss of its star was definitely deserved) * Safir Mediteranean fwiw, I live around the Vernon Blvd area, so my experience is definitely tilted towards there and not able to speak as well to other parts of LIC
“Haha already love all of those spots, except for Casa Enrique”

replying to u/greeblebob: Casa Enrique is excellent and affordable, no more expensive than an average “upscale” restaurant. They don’t do the tasting menu thing, but whatever you order will be amazing
“In the area, I'd take Jora over Casa Enrique (albeit Jora lacks a Michelin star)”
