Long Island City

About the restaurant

Soothr LIC draws inspiration from the bustling heart of Bangkok’s Yaowarat Chinatown, bringing it to life with greater depth and dimension. Where the East Village location captured the charm of a hidden alley, the new location in Long Island City will unfold an immersive journey through the many facets of Chinatown life.

By day, guests can wander into a homey tea house, steeped in comfort and tradition, or find solace in a serene garden—a peaceful retreat amid the urban sprawl. By night, the ambiance evolves. A nostalgic jazz club, brimming with classic melodies, evokes the golden age of Chinatown nightlife, while a majestic private banquet room offers an elegant space for gatherings that blend the old with the new in timeless fashion.

Soothr LIC will be a celebration of Yaowarat from sunrise to moonlight—a historical neighborhood reimagined, where tradition and modernity intertwine seamlessly.

The 3 wine pours were a perfect introduction to the winery's offerings.vThe Bar Bites were atypically moist and delicious and was very sorry they didn't come back to offer seconds on the bacon wrapped chicken. Again, empanadas were atypically crispy and flavorful. The Featured Cuts were delicious and this time, they came by to offer additional slices which we agreed to ASAP Just a slight recommendation... maybe offer a little "dulce" at the end of the event???

We come here for dinner about once a month. The service is exceptional and the food is always delicious and served hot. We were a party of 4 and chose to come on Tomahawk Tuesday. We ordered a few dishes, the chicken parm with their signature sauce, the Tomahawk, an order of Brussels sprouts, French fries, and a pizza- we had more than enough food. And some to take home. The tomahawk can easily be split between 3-4 guests. We will definitely be back. Need to try their weekend brunch and Sunday sauce menus!

From the parking lot to valet then finally getting upstairs everything was amazinnggggg . The ambiance the energy the vibes !!!! The food was amazinggggg the appetizers the flavor they didn’t miss a beat especially the PINK LADY drink 🤏🏾 The only hiccup I experienced was the teriyaki chicken was grilled and it kind of made me realize why I don’t eat grilled chicken because it’s not a guarantee that it’s cooked all the way . It was cooked but still had raw areas ; the rice and sweet yams that came with it was perfect don’t get me wrong . It was only the chicken , but the service overall made up for it because they definitely substituted my meal for a whole new one and a different one at that . So YESSSSS I WOULD BE GOING BACK !!!!!!!!
