Reviews
The food is well-executed and thoughtfully balanced. The chicken liver appetizer with crispy chips, celery, and pickled cherries was a standout — incredibly smooth and rich, while the cherries added just the right acidity to cut through the heaviness and leave a clean, satisfying finish.
The pork chop was also very good. It was slightly on the firmer side, but the peach sauce paired with it beautifully, adding a subtle sweetness that kept the dish from feeling greasy. The fries were crispy and flavorful, though a bit salty — a minor issue that didn’t take away from the overall enjoyment.
The biggest surprise was the New York cheesecake. Served with blueberry sauce and fresh blueberries, it wasn’t overly sweet at all. The fruit balanced the richness of the cheesecake perfectly, creating a light and elegant finish to the meal.
Overall, this restaurant clearly excels at using fruit to balance rich flavors. A highly recommended spot if you’re looking for a refined and enjoyable Hungarian dining experience.
I came as a walk-in and waited about an hour. Reservations are definitely recommended on weekends, but the wait wasn’t too bad — I took a quick trip to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden right next door, which worked out perfectly. Their reservation system texts you when your table is ready
What I ordered:
• Fánk (Hungarian donut) — Sunday-only and goes fast. Light, soft, slightly sweet, and seasonal. Kind of reminds me of a challah texture
• Sandwich special — mine was a pastrami beef tongue reuben; big flavor, generous portion. I love the mustard it came with
• Tuna melt — griddled pullman bread, melty alpine cheddar, plus slaw and mustard. Super comforting. This is their signature, I liked it but I loved the pastrami more
• Nokedli soup — tear-dropped dumplings in chicken broth; this was a bit oily so not sure I’d get this one again.
Charming space, friendly team, and well-made comfort food. but Wait can be long but great spot for a relaxing Sunday brunch.

Heartbroken beets (homemade chamomile vinegar, mild tasty, smooth blue cheese), chicken liver mousse (homemade crackers off the chart perfect pairing), chicken parikas (grandmother AGI’S recipe we were told), roast hake, Bableves (hearty healthy tasty Hungarian bean soup) w buttered bread AND cheescake with delicate fresh fruit were shared AND all enjoying were amazed at the quality of each dish!
It was great to meet team members so welcoming, so engaging. Mack & team members we met (Amanda, Sara, Nico, David, Mason, Lewis) were professional, friendly, seemed to be genuinely engaged and each contributed to our very memorable, positive experience.
I am sending gift certificates to my children so they can experience AGI’S CORNER and if as pleased as their mother, I hope they will share the love and introduce others to this hidden gem!
Service was LOVELY!! Interior was comfy and homey.
I came because I heard there was a good tuna melt here. And while I would not call myself a tuna melt expert, I do love a tuna melt. I am not joking when I say this was the best tuna melt I’ve ever had. The tuna – excellent; the mustard, pickles, slaw and peppers on the side added the perfect bute and acid; and that bread…it made the sandwich. Really so delicious.
It was a cold day so I also had the nokedli soup. Filled with little dumplings and loads of chicken (and a little more celery that I like, but…), it was hearty and delicious. The obscene amount of dill tipped it from being good to being a memorably drlicious bowl.
I will be back often for that tuna melt or the soup. Maybe both at the same time.
House smoked salmon was heavenly.
Caraway Cesar is something else – tart and creamy radicchio.
Sandwich of the day was pastrami and beef tongue…
Tuna melt was fine.
Caraway chocolate cookie is something you’ve never tasted or imagined before – we loved it.
And a beet Bloody Mary – mama!!!
Will be back.
