We almost always order the fried flounder -- it's something we usually don't make at home, and they do it well. This time we also tried their combination plate with double legs and one additional meat over rice. We picked the roasted pork belly. What I liked about the roasted pork belly was that it had good portions of meat and fat, not just the fatty scraps that some restaurants serve. The portion was huge, delicious, and only $14.99. Service is always pretty friendly even when they are busy. This was also our first time trying the preserved egg and lean pork congee. It was only okay for me because the pork didn't taste very fresh. It's a small restaurant and the seating is just okay, but we'll still come back every now and then to grab their lunch special.

Fresh seafood dishes were made well. But other items like chicken and lamb chop were soooo dry and had no flavor. Their signature soup was super bland.

It was so dry and flavorless. Very disappointed.

We stopped by Ocean Bay Restaurant for Sunday dim sum. The menu has all the typical dim sum…read morefavorites, and everything we ordered was satisfying. My favorite was the shrimp cheung fun--it's one of my go-to dim sum dishes, and this one did not disappoint. We also ordered from the menu the pan-fried noodles with beef, which came in a surprisingly large portion and was very tasty. Service was quick, and the food arrived without much wait. One thing to note is that the dining room feels a bit tight, especially with the traditional dim sum carts moving around the aisles. Parking was easy since there's free parking nearby, which is definitely a plus. Overall, while Ocean Bay wouldn't be my first choice for Sunday dim sum, it's a solid option if you're in the area or craving dim sum without a long wait.

My family has been coming here since its heyday as Ping's and have pretty much been on the wary…read moreside since the rebrand. Since we have relatives who live on opposite ends of Queens, this location has always been a good halfway point. Two things: 1. This place is truly exhausting during dim sum on the weekends. People will try to get on top of you (and I don't mean that in the best way). 2. Dim sum selection is intentionally small and service is slow to provoke you to order the expensive entree dishes. The dim sum is nothing to write home about at all and is just sufficient enough for any dim sum craving. There's no consistency with the quality, as well as the quantity. The same also goes for the large dishes, though I've only eaten dinner here once or twice since the new management, and there wasn't anything memorable. Service is generally okay, but the employees are definitely overworked during the weekend lunch hours. It's as if everyone who doesn't live in or around Flushing comes here, hence the insane crowds.

I really love this place--curry, curry, and more curry. The beef brisket curry and homemade tofu…read morecurry are easily our go-to favorites. That said, their noodle soups are also excellent. The portions are generous, and they seem to give a bit more noodles than most places, which I definitely appreciate. My wife is a big fan of their black sesame soup and Hong Kong-style coffee as well. I've tried a few other dishes, and everything has been great--but it's honestly hard to branch out when your go-tos are this good.

We ordered several dishes: beef brisket curry, wonton soup, fried chicken, scallion pancakes, pork pan-fried noodles, and a clay pot. Everything was delicious, except for the scallion pancakes, which we didn't enjoy as much. It might have been because they weren't the typical scallion pancakes I'm used to; they had a very crispy exterior and a strong scallion flavor on the inside. By the end of the night, we loved the curry so much that we ended up dipping everything into it! lol

The restaurant is partitioned up into several different rooms where they will push carts in and out of the rooms themselves. I was seated in some place that almost looked like a back room, but it was still decorated in the dim sum restaurant kind of theme. Service itself was pretty consistent. We didn't have to wait too long to get any of the desired dishes that we wanted. Ambience: I think your typical staple dim sum restaurant ambiance was here. Definitely felt very conversational with family. Was not too quiet or too loud. Food: I don't think that the dim sum here was that good. It didn't wow me as much as I was expecting it to. I initially saw this on one of the Michelin Guide website, and I was expecting a little more out of this place. Of all the places that I've had dim sum at, I just feel like this was more okay rather than anything special. For example the shumai didn't have that "juicy bite" kind of feel that you usually get. Again, nothing about this restaurant was bad per se, but I just felt like this was in the lower tier of all the dim sum places that I've had. I think for this reason, it gets a 3/5 for me.

We had a few misses: The Eggplant and Salty Fish (2/5) the eggplant wasn't cooked long enough to achieve that desired soft texture, and the salty fish was overwhelmingly, salty. The Sweet and Sour Pork Chop (3/5) had potential, but each piece was sliced too thin and over fried, making the whole thing unnecessarily crispy instead of tender. The Fish Maw Soup (3/5) lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. Chicken fried rice (2.5/5): tasted like what you would expect, Americanized fried rice The Highlights: The Mayo Shrimp (3.5/5) was a better dish; we appreciated the nice crispiness, and it was an interesting take to serve the mayo on the side. The Snow Peas with Garlic (4/5) was perfectly executed, fresh and garlicky, a simple but standout veggie dish. FYI: cash only

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Great variety of different dim sum dishes. All of the traditional faves were available. We tried beef rice rolls, shrimp rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, roast pork buns (including the pineapple version), sesame mochi custard buns, molten custard buns, sticky rice, short ribs, cruller rice rolls, malay sponge cake rolls, coconut jell-o. + ALL of the dim sum was fresh and the quality was excellllent. Didn't have a single gripe about any of it. + Shredded Chicken Pan Fried Noodle - EXCELLLLENT. Noodles were extraaaaa crispy and the sauce didn't overwhelm the noodle. Only complaint was that the sauce was a littttttle saltier than needed. THE SERVICE ------------------- + They have the old school cart ladies driving around with dim sum in them, which I am ALWAYS for. It doesn't feel like the full dim sum experience without them. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with LOTs of tables. + Private parking lot was a MAJOR plus in NYC as it's such a rarity for restaurants here. The lot was tight, but had a good number of spots. Gets full on weekends, however turnover is quick. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- + Dropped in with my family and a group of friends at 12:15 PM and, surprisingly, didn't have to wait long for a table for 10 people. If we had 2-4 people only, we would not have waited more than 5 minutes!
