    Kung pao chicken
    Ritik S.

    Really good Sichuan food in Flushing - I came here with a friend and we got three dishes that were all very good! Lots of restaurants in the area, but this one stood out with its nice ambience and modern feel. I thought the food was really solid. The kung pao chicken was good, and the sichuan beef was solid as well, but the cucumber salad was actually the highlight! I think tjis is partially because the two meat dishes turned out to be a bit milder than preferred; since this is Sichuan we were expecting more of a kick, but the food wasn't very spicy. Still the food was very good, but next time I'd ask for the food to be made spicy!

    Stir-Fried Cabbage, Spicy Chili Beef, fish Hounder Filet with Pickled Cabbage Soup
    Sharon M.

    Ordered so much food lol. Huge portions. Stir fried cabbage -- a classic and very flavorful. Spicy beef -- emphasis on spicy, but it was good! Fish soup -- very flavorful and well done. Was surprised they even had it -- don't soups take a while to make? Very family-oriented place. Highly recommend.

    Food was fantastic. And the servers were very friendly as well. It is a Michelin recognized restaurant and was worth the viait! We got the special staple type of dishes because we were so full. We tried the hand pulled noodle, house chicken dumplings , thousand layered pancakes and handmade noodles It was nice in the restaurant as well it was quiet when we went and nice

    Spicy and properly Sichuan, the peppercorn spice hits you. However, I ordered a dish that had 3 peppers marked, but it was not as spicy as I thought, so maybe ask for extra spicy if you want it hotter. I had the tea duck since it's a rare menu item and it did not disappoint, the duck skin was crispy and the meat was fragrant. Staff is friendly and the place wasn't too loud, which was good for catching up with an old friend.

    Braised Pork with Chinese Chestnut
    Andy L.

    Rating: 8.5/10 Date Last Visited: 8/24/2025 We ordered a large variety of dishes, including beef, braised pork, spicy chicken, sautéed cabbage, eggplant, and fried fish fillet. Every dish tasted very authentic and had just the right amount of spice and flavor. The standouts were the fried fish, braised pork, and cabbage, but all the dishes were great. This place is the perfect definition of authentic Chinese food in Flushing. I don't remember the individual prices of each item, but the total came out to be around $27/person for a group 6. Overall, I would recommend if you are a fan of Sichuan food.

    Stopped by here for a quick company dinner eith a few colleagues. Overall mood is hip, trendy and moody. Concrete flooring and dim lights make it a perfect romantic spot but tucked away a few blocks from Main St and 41st Ave. Dishes were spicy, garlicky and delicious. Not sure what was ordered but the food didn't take too long to come out and its very much a family style spot, great to visit eith coworkers. I'd come back for the food but not surr if I want to brave the heavy traffic on Main Street.

    Dan-Dan Noodle with Chili Minced Pork
    Jess L.

    I got spontaneous pick-up from Alley on a Sunday night. It was on a relatively wide and quiet street so easy to double park for a moment. No one was even right by the door when I walked in, so I quickly found my bag and left. There were only a handful of people in the restaurant. Our food was really good! I wish the spicy chicken had had more chicken and fewer chilis, but we loved the taste and texture. The double cooked pork with leeks was a little too oily but, again, loved the flavor. The Dan Dan noodles are always great, and I'm glad we added them to our order.

    My husband and I decided to come here for dinner on New Year's Eve. The restaurant was busy and we were happy that we were able to get a table. We ordered the meatball soup, spicy dry pot fish and a vegetable. Everything tasted great, and we felt so warm on a winter evening. We had a great time there, and we were ready to welcome the new year after this great meal!

    Pork cucumber noodle: so so so good. This was the highlight of the dinner. If I come back, it will definitely be for this specific dish Spicy fish: while it was spicy, that felt like the only flavor. I wish there was more flavor Cumin beef: pretty good and beef was tender. The right amount of spicy Scallion pancake: it was quite crunchy, almost like a cookie Saw this place on infatuation and got quite curious about it. Would come back again if one of my friends want to try it, but will go all in on the pork cucumber noodle

    Can't even tell you what I ordered because the menu was so expansive! Food flavors were decent. Prices were fine. We asked for mildy mildy mild for all of the dishes but even so everything was pretty spicy. We also asked for no cilantro but it made it to our dish. Some dishes were really good, but some were a bit off. From what I remembered, the double cooked pork belly was really tasty. The tripe appetizer albeit spicy was really good. There was also this thick noodle with sweet and tangy sauce- tasty as well. Everything else was fine but with minor issues like undercooked liver, soggy noodles, bland flavors for the Dan Dan noodles.

    Juan B.

    Very nice place! Fast and efficient. The food is amazing. Delicious. I mined to come back to try more dishes.

    Ruby N.

    Tried this spot for the first time and most things are spicy here so definitely be prepared! The cauliflower was crunchy and savory and the fish in the sour soup was also a really unique dish.

Starting off, the numbing szechuan chicken was my least favorite of the dishes - the pieces of chicken were really tiny and there were a lot of peppercorns. I wish they made the pieces of chicken slightly larger as it was irritating to slowly pick it out towards the end of finishing it. Now, what went well were the stone pot with the fish. Normally not a huge fan of fish, so if I can enjoy eating fish a place has done well in preparing it. The soup was really flavorful and everyone at my table enjoyed it. The sweet and sour pork was also nice. The breading was crispy and the sauce had a nice tangy flavor to it and the texture was interestingly satisfying. The grilled beef ribs and bao buns were one of my favorite. The beef rib was very tender and went well with the buns and condiments that were provided.

As I entered the restaurant, the ambiance felt like I was going to a quaint location in rural China. The decor and waterfall added a nice needed touch. The Peking duck comes with sugar, pineapple, hoisin cucumber. The peking duck was overdone by a tiny bit. It was light and clean but was a very forgettable dish The Lotus root stuff with rice was an appetizer that really caught my eye by how it it looked It had a cold sweet glaze like a Chinese flower royal jelly. I was saddened that it looked much smaller than I expected. It was cut very thinly which allowed the glaze to cover it all but I wish it was a bit thicker so you could taste and feel more of the lotus root The Pumpkin w cheese was tasty but a little drying on tongue from how it was fried The sliced potato dish was a dish I have not tried before but was a bit of a let down. The Potato just tastes like a mild chili oil Nothing much The fried rice was very enjoyable. It was a bit on the oily side but that also allowed it to be cooked in a way that gives it a good wok hei. Even though the rice felt a bit oily, the dish as a whole felt very light The flavor of the fried rice was also very good. The eggs in the rice could be better. It felt a bit over cooked and the pieces felt a bit too big in it. The pork belly cube came with hawthorn in a bright red sauce the flavor was nothing special. The cubes were also too big so the flavor of the sauce doesn't soak through. Flavor is barely there other than just pork Mapo tofu was very basic and felt lacking in meat.it also doesn't come with white rice which is very integral to the sacuiness of mapo tofu. For dessert I got the fried rice cake. It was very brown sugar/ molasses forward. Even though it had a nice soft bite to it, the flavor of molasses hid any depth of flavor it had. Everything felt nice to eat, felt very fresh and light. The presentation was very pleasant but the flavors did not live up to the presentation.

Check in at the kiosk when you arrive and stay close by--we missed our name being called and had to wait another 30 minutes after an already 2-hour wait for our party of five. Once seated, we understood why it's so popular. The restaurant features a beautiful water wheel, multiple levels of seating, and a lively atmosphere. You customize your meal by choosing your broth, meats, vegetables, and sauces. We started with the spicy broth, but it was overloaded with chili peppers for our taste, so we switched to the herbal broth, which was rich, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. The fresh ingredients were the highlight. We enjoyed the water spinach so much that we ordered three servings. Other favorites included the milky beef, lotus root, beef balls, bean curd sheets, and several other fresh selections. The extensive sauce bar let everyone create their perfect dipping sauce. Considering the generous portions and quality, the prices were very reasonable. The wait is long, but the outstanding food makes it worthwhile. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Flushing.

We were seated towards the back of the restaurant where we found a cockroach crawling on the bench seat. Also, the straw decoration on the bench seat was uncomfortable throughout the meal for me particularly. Our waiter, since it was our first time, helped us a lot in choosing the broth and its spice level (we ended up getting tomato and mild chongqing), as well as helping us with the amount of food we would be ordering (which turned out to be almost the perfect amount of food for our party of 6). Some of my favorite dishes that we got were the: - Wide Potato Noodles - Doesn't take that long to cook, SO chewy and nice, pairs well with any broth or sauce - Enoki Mushrooms - My favorite kind of mushroom, even more chew and great noodle substitute - Fried Breadsticks - Very crunchy and don't lose that much crunch whenever dipped or soaked in the broths. - Sliced Beef - Standard and really good meat option for hotpot. Some of their specialty beefs are also interesting, but I ended up just preferring this over those. - Beef Tendon - I lied. This was the best meat option. Extremely soft and melts in your mouth. Doesn't take more than 5 seconds to cook. Just so good. Even with everything that I liked, I didn't find that much that was superior to other hot pot places that I have been to. I did enjoy the food that we did have, but with the insane wait that I would likely have if I came back as well as the high price of the meal, I don't know if this would be worth coming back to in the future.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 6 This is the restaurant that replaced Szechuan House, a beloved staple in Flushing since 1985. The food is very different, it's from the Dongbei (northeast) region of China. However, people will inevitably compare the flavors to its predecessor, though it is definitely not an apples to apples comparison. The cooking style of Dongbei cuisine is very hearty and savory. They also prefer noodles, breads, and dumplings as their staple over rice. Due to the extremely cold weather, they also focus quite of bit on pickled vegetables. Looking through their huge menu, I mainly focused on ordering the local dishes from Dongbei and veered away from items that are popular from other parts of China like Shanghainese soup dumplings or Szechuan sauerkrat fish. Here is what we had below. Spiced Wide Noodle w/ Mixed Vegetable & Pork (6.5/10) - This popular cold noodle dish was decent, but I had better versions around Flushing. Slightly too sauced up, but lacked a bit of vinegary touch. Spicy Pork Kidney (8/10) - This is one of the only non-Dongbei dishes I got because I'm a fan. Well, as expected, the flavors are not as bold or spicy as how it would be made by a Szechuan restaurant. However, it was boiled perfectly and super tender. Mix Dried Tofu Shreds (3/10) - Not sure why anyone would pay for this dish. Basically combining flavorless julienne dried tofu with cilantro. Tofu w/ Century Egg Salad (3/10) - Not inedible, but almost no flavor and felt like they just threw a bunch of chopped up century egg into silky tofu. Seasoning? I make a much better version at home. North China Sticky Pancake (6/10) - Stuffed with slightly sweet red bean paste, this sticky rice pancake is okay, but nothing special. Stewed Chicken w/ Mushroom (7/10) - The chicken was clearly overcooked, but the soup flavors were excellent, allowing the tree mushrooms and vermicelli soak up all the yumminess. Sautéed Triple Vegetables (8/10) - Classic dish from Dongbei done relatively well. I believe it could use a bit more crispiness, but pretty good overall. Pine Nuts & Baby Corn (6.5/10) - The baby corn was quite sweet, while the pine nuts add a bit of earthiness. It's a decent dish, but not special. Cumin Lamb (7.5/10) - I wish they used fresh cumin instead of powder, it would have made this dish even more aromatic and flavorful. Meat was relatively tender. Fried Pork in Sweet Sour Sauce (6/10) - Be nice if the pork was a bit thicker and definitely more tender. The batter was mochi-like and crispy. Shredded Pork w/ Bean Paste (7/10) - Definitely over salted, too much bean sauce. However, the pork was tender and the bead curd sheets were delicious. Sautéed Pork Intestine w/ Fresh Chili Pepper (8/10) - Maybe my favorite dish of the night. A few others said the same. Fatty and luxurious with a bit of heat. Crispy Fish Cutlet (7/10) - This dish was served cold and not crispy as the name suggests. However, the bones are all edible from the cooking process, marinated in a semi-sweet soy based sauce. Pumpkin Puffs (6/10) - Not bad, but once again, I had better versions around Flushing. More red bean paste filling and more pumpkin taste would be nice. Napa Cabbage & Pork Dumplings (7.5/10) - The skin was pretty smooth and not too thick. I do prefer one that has more filling, but it tasted pretty good. Shrimp, Pork & Chive Dumplings (7/10) - Same as the other dumpling. I also didn't taste the shrimp much. As for the food, I would say that there is better specialty shops around Flushing that sell Dongbei style noodles, dumplings, or pancakes. There are also restaurants that cook cold and hot dishes with more flavor. However, the pricing on everything is very reasonable and portion sizes are large. One more thing to add, the owner was kind and offered us free beers and beverages for the evening since we were a large party and it's their grand opening week. The waitress was also quite attentive to our requests and patient with my questions. However, the food did come out way too fast and furious. I had to remind them to slow down, which they eventually did. Unfortunately, our group of 12 came for the food and it just didn't hit the spot for most of us. I am more than willing to come back and try more dishes since the service and value is there.

Everything came out great I don't think there are bad options coming out of the kitchen just flavor profile preferences. My highlight was the salted egg corn and minced beef egg drop soup which were just evil how good they were, I'd come back for these alone. We had the fish with peppercorn, fried pork in sweet and sour sauce, sweet potato desert, braised beef with quail eggs etc. I'd suggest all of them as well. We will be back as a group. Thank you for the great meal on a cold day.
