  • Maybe Witch Topokki is a decent choice if you're looking for time to kill.

  • replying to u/thansal: The Temple Canteen. Easy parking, great food, inexpensive, right there. My personal favorites are probably the Pondicherry Masala Dosa, the Ghee Roast, and the Rava Dosa. The Paper Dosa is spectacular and the texture is great, but I like the added flavors of the other options instead. If you have a little kid w/ you, get a paper dosa. You can't really go wrong tbh. A warning about Lake Pavilion: Parking around there sucks super bad. They have a parking lot, but it's almost always full to the gills, as is any street parking nearby. I haven't been post pandemic, so maybe it's cooled off some, but I wouldn't bet on it. Since you're driving, you could also take advantage of that and go further out on Northern for Korean. Places like Picnic Garden (long standing AYCE KBBQ), Witch Topokki (AYCE Tteokbokki chain, not been but heard good things), and a whole lot more.

    glorified hotpot with less options and powdered "sauce"

  • replying to u/stOAKed919: Really wanting to try Witch Topokki! Did you enjoy it?

    I enjoyed it, keep in mind they have communal pots and if you are vegetarian and your date is not they will sit you at the 6-top because it has two pots. Or everybody has the same vegetarian pot. Really good though.

  • I enjoyed the AYCE Witch Topokki in Flushing but it’s mostly rice cakes, with a fried food bar (pizza, French fries, mozzarella sticks, fritters) and an instant ramen wall.
