    A restaurant that has both Cantonese AND Szechuan dishes?! How did I only just find out about this place now??? It's very unassuming from the outside, but decently decorated inside and quite spacious (there's a second floor too) which is probably why I've walked past this place so so many times and never stepped foot in. We were definitely lured by the $30 for twin lobsters sign outside. Twin Lobsters: as usual, this was my favorite hahah. Good flavor, not too salty, but could've used more scallions for me. A must order for this price, you really can't get it anywhere, especially with how meaty the lobsters were. Spicy Spare Ribs: oooh soo pretty, these come in the bird cage so, very very appealing. It was super crispy and had good flavor, but some of the pieces weren't very meaty at all for this price. Cold Glass Noodle Jelly: I've missed this dish so much! The sauce is more liquidy than usual, but the texture of the noodle jelly was perfection and the sauce was more sour than spicy, so could've used more spice. I was introducing this dish to a group who'd never had this before and majority enjoyed yayy Enoki Mushroom and Japanese Tofu Casserole: the sauce tasted like roast duck to me so this was extra umami. It's a smaller portion and also not served in a casserole pot but the tofu was fried beautifully, and combined with the sauce, this dish was devoured almost immediately. A must order! Spiced Beef Tendon: it says tendon but this was actually the beef shin cut, served warm in their sauce. It was good, but not what I was expecting though! Diced Chicken Eggplant and Salted Fish Casserole: I loved the chunkier pieces of chicken in this dish, but as usual, I'm always looking for more salted fish flavor, but I appreciated that it wasn't as oily as other places Sauteed Dried Squid: definitely quite pricey for the amount of squid you get. It's more like a vegetable stir fry so the squid was minimal, but it's a tasty stir fry though

    I had a late flight and arrived at Flushing well past midnight but was hungry so went out to hunt for some late night eats. This place was opened until 3AM! It has an unassuming entrance (but maybe I'm just used to bug doors in socal restaurants) and was very nicely decorated inside. The ambiance was surprisingly fun and there were older people still inside eating and chatting. I was seated immediately because it was late and ordered the dandan noodles. It came out relatively quickly and the portion size was pretty big! It was spicy and delicious. If i'm craving late night eats again, I'd definitely come back

    A2. Chicken and Corn Soup
    Tracey W.

    Very ethnically Asian, spot very cute and open late night. The servers barely spoke English but very accommodating and attentive. They had plenty of soup options and tea. We weren't too sure of what was in the dishes so we sort of made up our own. Chicken corn soup with a side noodles and shrimp. Very filling.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 8 Decor: 9 Value: 7 Overall: 8 One of the best places to host a large group dinner in all of Flushing. Most people see the first floor, which has beautiful decor, but miss the seasonal floral designs of the upstairs portion of the restaurant, with its private rooms. When you reach the second floor, it's quite stunning. I have now done a handful of events here with groups ranging from 12 to 30, and they all were wonderful experiences. Regarding the cuisine, they serve both Cantonese and Szechuan food. I'm usually scared of restaurants of this type because they don't specialize and can't do either very well. Luckily, not the case here. Below are lists of dishes and my opinion of its quality. Excellent: - Eight Treasure Duck (must preorder) - Braised Pork Belly w/ Preserved Vegetables - Sautéed Dry Squid - Regular & Spicy Spare Rib - House Special Frozen Crab - Fish Filet w/ Pepper - Mapo Tofu Very Good: - Oyster in Garlic Sauce / Black Bean Sauce - Rich Beef Golden Soup - Diced Chicken & Eggplant w/ Salted Fish Casserole - Dry Pot Cauliflower - Sautéed Fish Fillet - Peking Pork Chop - Salt & Pepper Pork Chop - Chongqing Style Chicken - Scrambled Egg w/ Shrimp Good: - Hakka Boiled Fish - Honey Walnut Jumbo Shrimp - Water Spinach w/ Bean Curd & Pepper - Sliced Pork Belly - Mouth Watering Chicken - Roast Squab - String Beans w/ Minced Pork - Sautéed Pea Sprouts w/ Garlic - Ginger & Scallion Lobster - Angus Beef w/ Asparagus - Sautéed Frog w/ Leeks - Braised Fish & Tofu Casserole Average: - Szechuan Spicy & Numbing Beef - Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce - Singapore Rice Noodle - Pan Fried Noodles w/ Beef - Shrimp Fried Rice Skip: - Dan Dan Noodle - Spare Rib w/ Plum Sauce Other than the nice decor and delicious food, the service here is always friendly and helpful. Though sometimes a little absent due to being overwhelmed, the waiters and waitresses always tries their best to be attentive to our needs. I have no real complaints. I have been to this restaurant for lunch, dinner, and even late night snacks well past midnight. They close at 3:00am. It always hits the spot and remains a very underrated restaurant in Flushing. Give this place a shot! You won't regret it.

    Chongqing Styled Chunk Chicken, Enoki Mushroom and Japanese Tofu Casserole, and Water Spinach with Bean Curd and Pepper
    Billy C.

    We were a group of four looking for some family style canto food that wasn't hotpot or KBBQ. We heard about 698 Cafe and decided to give it a try. We ordered six dishes. Shrimp with Walnut, Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet, Enoki Mushroom & Japanese Tofu Casserole, Chongqing Styled Chunk Chicken, Water Spinach with Bean Curd, and Spare Ribs in Beijing (Peking) Style. The shrimp and walnut is a classic dish that was well made but not the best we've had. Saucy and delicious with fresh shrimp. Walnuts were not stale and lightly glazed. The salt and pepper fish was my personal favorite. The batter was seasoned well. The fillets were light and fluffy. Each bite made me want more. The enoki mushroom & Japanese tofu casserole was piping hot and flavorful. Wish there was more enoki though! The Chongqing styled chunk chicken was spicy and addicting. 698 cafe uses pieces of chicken with bones and chicken skin as well. Be mindful when chomping to avoid bones! The water spinach was delicious! Fresh and flavorful. Cooked extremely well. The spare ribs were great. The meat was juicy and the sauce was a perfect balance of sweet and sour. A great pairing with rice! Overall, the food was delicious. Service was slow. Feels like an old timer restaurant, saw a bunch of older men leave their table of food to use another table to play cards, haha. The type of place to drink beer and hang out all night long.

    As the former site of one of my favorite Sichuan spots (#1), I'm so glad it's found new life in the form of 698 Cafe. It is also a Sichuan-based establishment, with an added emphasis on Cantonese cuisine, which is less plentiful in Flushing. Overall, I've been happy with my experiences here and hope to try more items. The modernized decor gives me the same vibes that casinos often have: no one can tell what time it is because of how muted the decor is. This might be deliberate, since they're open late (#2) each night. There is plenty of room for groups of all sizes and there is even a separate room for karaoke and private dinner parties. Their Chinese name ("新東溢豐") is more akin to "New Eastern Abundance" which is fitting for their menu, which is chalk full of variety, complete with photos and descriptions. The presentation is also on point, with splashy platters just perfect for a family style dining session. Prices are going to be slightly higher than the average place, but thankfully the food also follows suit. The Canto selections are pretty decent, but I think the Sichuan side is a bit more robust. Their Chongqing chicken is plenty spicy and the hanging pork belly with sliced cucumber is a nice effect for the social media food porn. The mapo tofu is extremely underrated and the dry hot pot is a nice and sizable portion. The poached beef in hot oil is also very tasty and their seafood selection is excellent, particularly their lobster and steamed fish dishes. Surprisingly much of the staff is both Canto + Mando friendly, which is not overly common in these parts. They've done a good job of keeping us fed and friendly throughout each visit. While I don't think they produce their best food during their later hours, I feel good knowing I can still come here without having to worry about the crowds to indulge in some serious multi-regional Chinese variety. __________ (#1) R.I.P.

    I was just looking for a quick bite, standing outside 698 Cafe thinking "why not?" From the outside, it seemed casual -- but the interior was surprisingly elevated. It was quiet since it was mid-afternoon, but what happened next? Not quiet at all in my memory. I ordered the Grandma's pork belly with preserved vegetables and shrimp with walnuts -- two dishes I grew up on. The pork belly? Deep, traditional flavor cooked to perfection. Took me right back to my grandma's kitchen. And the shrimp with walnuts -- I've had that dish more times than I can count, but not like this. At 35, this was the best version I've ever had. Even the broccoli was perfect -- buttery, crisp, and cared for. They say you remember feelings more than moments -- and in that moment, I felt like a kid again. No stress, no worries. Just pure, present joy. This was more than a meal -- it's a memory in the making.

    Pork belly with preserved vegetables.. young chow Fried Rice
    Marina C.

    We were going to have a really late lunch. It was too early for people to have dinner so we were given a big table even if it was for two. Really nice staff, pot of tea on the table for us. We were given a good amount of time to look through the menu. We wanted to splurge a lil since we've been eating healthy for a few days...so I ordered braised pork with preserved vegetables, shrimp with walnuts, and young chow fried rice. Everything was pretty good. I don't eat Chinese food that often but I'd say this was one of the better Cantonese restaurants; the dishes are a lil pricier but the quality is better. Considering I pay $20lb for raw shrimp.. $31 isn't too bad for the shrimp and walnuts. We were able to have 2 meals from this dish. We had enough for dinner later that night since the shrimp are jumbo sized. Definitely one of the best we've had.. the pork belly was good but a lil salty but it was yummy with a plain white rice. The young chow fried rice was delicious as well. Lots of wok flavor and lots of shrimp. L said it was the best he's had. He finished it all. My brother took my mom to 698 cafe just 30 mins before us but thought the food was just okay since he ordered from the lunch special menu. Our food was a lot tastier than what he got since he was looking for food with very lil sodium for my mom... So we're definitely coming back here again and trying more items. Bringing my mom back here to get the fish...

    We had passed by this restaurant multiple times heading to other restaurants we felt had better food, and never thought to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised how tasty and fast the food came out. The waitresses were so friendly too! We would definitely eat here again when we are in the area!

    String beans with minced pork (干扁四季豆)
    Matthew H.

    Came by for dinner on a Friday with a friend - it was decently busy as we ate with a good number of tables coming and going. We had: Hakka boiled fish (客家水煮魚) : massive portion size! Also, really spicy. Very generous helping of fish pieces and I liked a lot of the other ingredients in the soup as well (the glassy noodles were my favourite). Probably best to eat with larger groups, I think it was a bit beyond the ability of the two of us to make a big dent (and we ended up taking home the vast majority of it lol) String beans with minced pork (干扁四季豆): generally a good choice. The string beans were a bit less cooked than I'd prefer (I love when they're slightly softer but still crunchy, these were on the harder side), but still not bad. Not a lot of minced pork which was a bit disappointing. Also not very spicy, was a good contrast to the other dishes we ordered Chongqing styled chunk chicken (回味辣子雞): so spicy :0 the chicken was very yummy and juicy (although more pieces were unexpectedly bony so be careful of biting down suddenly). As expected the sheer amount of peppers made each bite more and more numbing - could be a pro or con, depending on your spicy tolerance. Would recommend this dish for sure. Portion sizes were rather large - we ended up with SO much leftovers to take home (a common ending for family-style Chinese restaurants when you come in small groups I suppose). In that vein the high-ish price point was actually somewhat reasonable. But, there are a lot of good Chinese restaurants in the area that are better and/or cheaper, so I'm not sure if I'll be back in the near future.

    Some of the best Szechuan food you'll find in NYC! Flushing is the real Chinatown, not Manhattan anymore. I ONLY go to Flushing for Chinese food. This place is the best in its class. The waiter was excellent! They stay open late for all of you night owls like myself. Modern, pleasant decor, not typical of most places in Flushing. This is never a problem for me as I'm interested in the food!! But a nice added bonus!

    Sliced pork Belly
    Mei C.

    Beautifully, aesthetically pleasing Canto-Szechuan style restaurant in Flushing. For appetizer; ordered the Slice pork belly-with thinly sliced meat layered on a small wooden plate (garlic sauce on the bottom); The salt & pepper fried anchovy was the perfect balance to the pork belly meat. Also, got the fried Squab- tasted okay (lacked a bit of flavor though); The tea set serve on the table transforms a meal back to the majestic history of China's olden days. Did I mention -I sat under a cherry blossom tree enjoying this delicious meal

Service was minimal at best but they just seemed under staffed honestly. And when the server did come by, she was running quickly to and from. The place was not busy when my friends and I were seated. But there was a back room in guessing that had occupants since she was missing in the front seating area. (There was a two person table occupied in the front near us). My party of three over ordered but that was intentional because, any purchase over $100, you get a free lobster and each of us had items we wanted, figured we would doggie bag the leftovers. All in all a great value. The lunch spread had over 7 dishes and we got the free lobster. I was especially happy to see Fried Milk on the menu as an appetizer. They also provide complimentary salted peanuts and pickled radish and carrot slivers. I recommend the snow pea shoots, fried milk, clams with black bean sauce and the Chinese Broccoli with Filet beef. The other dishes like the lobster, noodles and sweet and sour pork were executed well but just not my flavor profile. And with my food allergy, I couldn't try the shrimp with walnuts but it was my friends' birthday so she ordered that for her treat. It looked great! There's complimentary parking if you validate your ticket with a nearby garage, but you need to spend a minimum.

The…read morerestaurant was fairly full and the strangest thing almost all the patrons were wearing their wool hats and coats while seated at their tables. We were famished and only focused on what yummy dishes to order. My wife, son and daughter all contributed their suggestions and we ended up ordering pan fried whole flounder, half of the roast chicken with garlic, filet mignon with Chinese broccoli, fried rice with chicken and salted fish and everyone's favorite dish salt & pepper squid. Once we placed our order and were enjoying the roasted peanuts and free spicy cabbage we realized why everyone had their winter coats on, it felt like they had the AC on and it must have been 55° in the restaurant. I told everyone that once the food arrived things would warm up. Each dish that came out of the kitchen was perfectly cooked and was delicious. The salt & pepper squid with it's minced jalapeños kept us warm enough until the half chicken with garlic and filet mignon and Chinese broccoli came out in rapid succession. The star of the show turned out to be the giant sized pan fried flounder which was not only big but quite scrumptious. Unlike the little scrawny flounder that most other restaurants usually served this was a quite large and very meaty and perfectly cooked. The last dish to come out was a very large plate of chicken fried rice with salted fish. If it were not for the lack of heat, I would have given Chef Wong Bistro 5 stars!

While the food isn't necessarily going to win any awards, their space as a venue is what keeps them unique. Couple this with free onsite parking and spacious digs, and it becomes a destination. The main dining hall is surrounded by bright lights, a large LCD TV, and number of tables that are perfect for groups. This is a pushcart service, which is good news for those who want the nostalgia of choosing things directly from the cart. Not all the service workers are Canto-speaking, as I heard dialects from Wenzhou, Toisan (#1), and likely Fukinese. During the late afternoon, it's important to flag them down because it may take awhile for them to make the full round. From chiu chow dumplings (潮州粉粿) to shrimp dumplings (蝦餃), the selection is standard and well portioned. The steamed variety is preferred here, with some immediate hits in the form of spare ribs (排骨), shrimp rice roll (蝦腸粉), and glutinous rice wrap (糯米雞). The coconut jelly (椰子糕) was especially wonderful and the BBQ pork buns (叉燒包) were nicely steamed with solid chunks of pork inside. Overall, I think the food was consistent, tasty, and well presented. Prices are solid for Flushing and won't break the bank. The gaudy decor extends beyond the main dining hall and all the way into the bathrooms. Their staircase is a perfect photo op for folks and the manager / wait staff are hardly camera shy. Crown One would easily go on my list for restaurant repeats and I hope they continue to make improvements all around. ___________ (#1) Fine, Taishan. Happy mainlanders?

    Came here for the wonton noodle soup and it delivered exactly what I wanted: springy noodles, plump…read morewontons, and a broth that tastes like someone's grandmother is running the kitchen. This is Hong Kong style done right, and in Flushing you're getting the real thing at prices that genuinely rival what you'd pay in China. We lucked into a nice day and grabbed a seat outside. Service was fast and furious, which is exactly what you should expect and honestly want from a spot like this. You're not here for a leisurely dining experience, you're here to eat something delicious and get on with your day. My one gripe, and it applies to the whole surrounding area and not just Maxi's: there are basically no bathrooms to be found. Plan accordingly before you commit to a big bowl of soup. Cheap, tasty, authentic. Everything a Flushing noodle spot should be.

    Love the Wonton Noodle Soup here. At minimum I at least get the egg noodle with wonton. Recently I…read morewant back and did the 3 topping with wonton, dumpling, and dace fish ball. All were delicious! I have bought it and re-heated it up the next day as well and it still taste good! Tried the shark fin soup as well and it is thicker (not very soupy) but flavor is great. If you don't like the thickness you can always add some water to it. Definitely a go to spot if I am in the area :)

    It was Mother's Day at Emperor Seafood restaurant. An absolute frenzy from the moment we walked in…read more-- packed dining rooms, large Chinese families everywhere, noise levels through the roof, and servers running at full speed trying to keep up with the chaos. The staff wanted my wife to sit at an angle to the table; so that they could pass through. The seafood itself was solid traditional Cantonese fare with fresh lobster tanks, steamed fish, and classic banquet-style dishes. The atmosphere felt colorful authentic Hong Kong banquet hall energy. However, some of their pricing was completely out of whack. Mother's Day premium for sure which is understandable, but some dishes were simply excessively expensive for what was delivered. For example, our two lobsters, while fresh, were missing that smoky "wok hei" flavor that great Cantonese kitchens are known for. It lacked the depth, aroma, and richness one expects from a proper high-heat wok preparation. A few items felt priced more for Guide Michelin luxury dining than a Flushing seafood hall. This said, the service was efficient and professional; changing plates all the time. So a high level of attention above the usual Cantonese restaurant. Overall, decent food in and an authentic Hong Kong style restaurant that targets special family gatherings, but be prepared, both the crowds and the bill can become overwhelming very quickly. I paid more than $400 for three people. But we had a Tiger Fish which is $50 per pound.

    This was the former location of the beloved Guangzhou Restaurant that sadly shuttered in the early…read more2010s, which then went on to be a series of random businesses over the years, only to be a Cantonese restaurant again. I have so many reasons to believe that Emperor is truly the reincarnation of the restaurant...just a little rusty. I've only come here for dim sum and I'm still surprised it doesn't get even half of the insane volume that nearby dim sum restaurants get, especially with how much closer they are to Roosevelt Ave. I have to say that the dim sum here is slightly better than most locations in the core downtown area, both in presentation and taste. No cart ladies, just a paper and pencil ordering system. The other diners that I usually encounter seem to strike me as locals, which is becoming harder to find these days. Prices are slightly more expensive than the other places, which is probably a factor as to why there aren't as many customers. The other reason is probably the subpar customer service here, which I've encountered on a number of recent visits. There are so many workers here, but none of them seem to have any good grasp of what customer service is. For example, I've had the waiter hover over me as I was gathering cash for my bill and snatched it the moment I placed the money down, also demanding at least 18% (again, for subpar service). Also, if you complain to them about your food, even if you find a hair, they will not do anything about it. The food quality is slightly above most of the dim sum places, but also bear in mind the hit-or-miss service you'll get, which the latter can be super frustrating.
