It is an amazing place runs by amazing people! We recently had a great date night here. The tasting menu is a must try. The owner and chef's passion towards food and drinks truly comes through in the six mind blowing dishes. We especially loved the calamansi ice cream - the flavor was already great but the secret szechuan peppercorn sauce on top made the dessert stand out even more (weird I know but it works!) We also tried the shochu based cocktails. The special flavors added by all kinds of creative spices were very memorable - couldn't believe I was drinking a shochu based Old Fashioned. If you enjoy classic cocktail flavors but can't handle the high proof liquors, their cocktails are kinda perfect. It was an amazing experience all in all. There was also a 40 wine pairing option when we went but we didn't participate.

Ramro is a Hidden Gem in Astoria, it’s been on our list to visit for a few months and we had the pleasure of checking it out on a Friday night. I recommend grabbing a reservation. We got one less then an hour before arriving. It’s an intimate dinning experience in a cosy bar/restaurant with small plates and tasty drinks. The Nepalese and Filipino dishes were excellent and filling. We wanted to try all of the appetizers and were impressed with the quality. A highlight for me was the fried clamasi cauliflower with walnuts. It was delicious. We loved the orange cream cocktail as well. It reminded me of a drink I had in Iceland last summer that was a signature of a local bar. Overall we loved Ramro, look forward to trying out more.

Very cute place and amazing food and drinks. The beef longganisa was so tender and flavourful, also enjoyed the momos and the walnut cauliflower. The portion on the mains is generous. A must visit place in astoria.

Every single bite was magnificent. The portions are a bit smaller, but it’s very clear how much love and labor goes into every single dish. Got a chance to talk to Ravi and his wife Gloria, who have put in so much work to get this place off the ground. Always happy to support a local Astoria biz! Highlights: wagyu beef balls, duck, & parmesan ice cream!!!

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 such a lovely time at Ramro last night! We couldn’t help but try most of the menu since everything sounded delicious and we were not disappointed at all. The drinks were also amazing, especially the Shroomhattan and the Pandan Sour! We couldn’t be happier with our experience!! Thank you Ravi for your kindness and pleasant conversation, we can not wait to come back!
