If you like great cocktails, good food and friendly service than look no further. Samoa street is your spot. Get the Shanghai buck you won’t regret it and try the major tom if you are looking for a new and interesting flavor. It’s rare that a cocktail bar has drinks with intriguing and new flavors to try. Samoa street executes on their drinks, food and ambience. Try it out you won’t regret.
It is always to come back to this great place. I love stuff there and the atmosphere they are making there. Unique drinks, with great flavors you'll never think off. Amazing food, always tasting delicious. Highly recommended to visit while being in Greenpoint.
Now I see why it’s a 5/5 — amazing drinks with great shareable bite options. Cozy and candle lit. Friendly staff that can guide you down any drink. Drinks come in cool displays and arrangements. Worth trying then checking out Franklin street after!
Extremely underrated and surprising cocktail. We parked in the front of the bar to walk across the street for dinner. After dinner, we notice that this bar have more interesting drink cocktail and they do not disappoint.
Since then, I have already been back twice. The flavor profile to combining ingredient that you don’t usually see was eye opening. I must say out of all the cocktail I have tried so far, I only dislike the sambee. Just personal preference. However I love the 7 long year and major Tom. Also, jacket required is very good if you like a twist on old fashion.
Come give this a try!

A wonderful experience all around. Cocktails were perfectly balanced and delicious, can’t wait to stop by and try other options on the menu. Gabriel was delightful, he was warm and engaged and made great recommendations. Definitely a must try in the neighborhood!
I'm glad I've only just found out about this place or I would have never dined anywhere else!
The drinks are obviously shear perfection, they aren't simple cocktails, but a marvelous experience that involves all senses. The masterful sage of spices, the garnish, the fruit combo, the whole mix is designed with deep vision and delivered with extreme care. You will truly want to sip on this liquid deliciousness for as long as you can, study it's layers, taste every note.
As expected, the food is just as outstanding.
The menu is incredibly smart, little portions, almost like Asian tapas, but the food are selected carefully, they're carby, starchy, very filling.
The fried chicken bao and the noodles were absolutely the best, I would have ordered another couple of rounds of both, but all the rest was also amazing. Got the mantou with gravy which is an absolute geniality, the pancakes were spicy, warm, crunchy, sweet, what a treat. The steak salad was refreshing, a perfect selection after such heavy dishes. I loved the usage of cilantro, lemongrass and ginger, it reminded me so much of my years back in China. I would probably say the only thing I didn't enjoy particularly was the rice. I like the fact that it was actually crunchy, but the taste was overall too sweet and a bit too salty.
Overall, a beautiful meal in a beautiful restaurant with incredible atmosphere and service, I can't wait to go back to taste more cocktails and try out the rest of the menu. And probably give a big kiss to the chef!

Low key cocktail bar serving up interesting and delicious concoctions. Walk ins are accepted for seating at the bar but the tables required reservations on a Saturday night. All of the cocktails were really good and I definitely recommend checking this place out.
