After Night is a hidden gem for authentic Chinese skewers in Long Island city! The food is super authentic. My favorite is definitely the beef skewers, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The service is great, and although it’s a newly opened spot, it already feels like a perfect place to chill with friends. I heard they’re opening a KTV next door soon under the same name, can’t wait to check it out when it opens! - Jessie Lan
