What's really cool about this place is that they have "chilled" skewers which are skewers that were roasted, then chilled again. I will come back to try that. The one star that was taken away is for ALLLLL the disposable cutlery that is wasted. "Go green" people will absolutely lose their mind here because everything is plastic and paper, even some Styrofoam. Eating a stew/soup with a plastic bowl is definitely not ideal.

They have all the classic skewer options from chicken to beef to lamb, some seafood, and more. There are also full entree items as well. We mainly came here for skewers and overall, it was just okay. The food came out pretty quick. The skewers have a good amount of meat on them but we selected spicy seasoning and they were not spicy at all. There's more chili flakes on the table as well but I prefer when the seasoning is tossed on as it's grilled. We also ordered the beef noodle soup which was pretty disappointing cause there were only a few very small pieces of beef in it and the flavor was bland. Staff doesn't pay that much attention to you throughout the meal, which is fine, but they were certainly attentive when I was paying tip. They got very aggressive when I wanted to tip pre-tax vs after tax. I wouldn't come back here. I think there are better skewer spots around, especially since Flushing has so many these days.

Nonetheless, my review here is subjective, or objective based on the reader's interpretation thereof. Eating here brings me back to my high school days. Average looks, average grades, average athleticism, below-average finances but above-average belief in myself to make something of my life. Chinese food was a delicacy, an oasis in my barren life. An escape into the promised land. This place is clean and good. Price is good. They turn on Christian music so the food quality is something I can believe in. Like a Chinese restaurant church.

1 Star I've been…read morecoming to this Chinese restaurant for a long time, and unfortunately after what happened today, I will no longer be returning. I came here with my siblings and everything was fine at first. We had just finished eating and had spent around $40 on our meal, so we were paying customers like any other family who comes in to eat. My 3-year-old brother started making a little noise after we had finished our food. He is a toddler--kids are not always going to sit completely silently or behave like adults. An employee (I'm not sure if she was the owner or a worker) came out and said, "Oh my God, you're so annoying. You're screaming too much. This is a business," and then told us "GO HOME." I found this extremely rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. There are ways to address a situation, especially when dealing with a family and a small child, without insulting a toddler or telling paying customers to leave. We were not being disruptive while eating, causing problems, or bothering anyone. My little brother was simply being a toddler. No 3-year-old is going to sit perfectly quiet and make absolutely no noise. I've supported this business for a long time, but after being treated this way, I unfortunately won't be coming back. Very disappointing experience and completely unnecessary.

Hong Kong Gourmet 避風塘 is an offshoot of Ocean Bay Seafood Restaurant -- they share the same Chinese name. We visited in the summer for dinner. Our dishes were quickly prepared and delivered, with everything coming out within 15 minutes from the time we ordered. However, there were noticeable shortcuts in food preparation or plate composition that negatively impacted our enjoyment of the food. Dishes we had included: - Beef Chow Fun 濕炒牛河: $18; $19.60 with tax. The noodles were very soft, almost mushy. - Crispy Jumbo Shrimp with Mayonnaise 沙汁核桃蝦球: $30; $32.66 with tax. The shrimp were fresh, but the restaurant seemed to have boiled the shrimp before deep-frying them, so the shrimp tasted tough, not crisp. - Sweet and Sour Spareribs with Pineapple 鳳梨生炒排骨: $19; $20.69 with tax. The spareribs also seemed boiled before being fried. - Sauteed Snow Pea Sprouts with Garlic 蒜蓉豆苗: $24; $26.13 with tax. - Fried Chicken 古法當紅炸子雞: Half for $21; $22.86 with tax. This dish normally comes with salt and pepper on the side, but they applied the salt directly onto the chicken. The dish also typically comes with a colorful set of shrimp chips, but the restaurant served Pringles instead. - Seafood and Bean Curd Casserole 海鲜豆腐煲: $22; $23.95 with tax.

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.

The sesame noodle honestly was not very good. Normally this would be a dry cold dish, however this was hot and still wet on the bottom. The flavor was a bit on the sweeter side. The dan dan noodles was not bad flavor was good and portion size was good. Honestly the best thing I had was the popcorn chicken which was made well. The place is pretty small only about 14 seats total and maybe another 4 seat in front of the window bar style. Quite little place. The service was a bit on the slow side and the waiter was not very tentative. Lucky we were there earlier and first as we probably would have had to wait a bit for food. I guess due to only two person crew.

I love love love the classic Taiwanese dishes that were on the menu here. I couldn't help myself but to order to my stomachs content. Of course, the stinky tofu! Not as stinky as I'd like (IYKYK). But the flavor of the sauce with the hot sauce that it comes with matches perfectly. I also ordered a trio appetizer of braised intestines, pig foot and tofu. They were all delicious! Nicely warm and all melts in your mouth. Good flavor! Pairs well with rice. My main was the chicken set. Delicious! And I love how they did the chicken 2 ways. With all the little side apps that it comes with as well. Everything was great. I didn't give a full 5 stars and this one negative may break it for you in coming here but while I was sitting I did notice small baby roaches strolling along the walls. Not a good sign and like I said might turn you away. I'll probably just order to go from here BUT that stuff doesn't phase me as long as it wasn't in my food. Let me know what you think!

Crispy outside with packed filling. Scallion pancake: $4.90 not as crispy as above. Generous portion. Family meal combo $52.00: 3 dishes , white rice and soup. We had: Pork chop Peking style: crispy deep fried pork chop coated with sweet abd sour sauce. A favorite for kids. Chunk chicken Taiwan: a casserole dish with enough heat. Very flavorful. It's a hearted heavier seasoned dish. Braided pork belly: another casserole dish with heat. Full of wok chi (wok heat). Sauce is more heavily seasoned. It's a fatty meat due to pork belly. Overall we are satisfied. It's a good quiet neighborhood restaurant which has been opened for at least 10 years. Service was good. Food service time was quick. Parking is easy in the evening. Will return. Credit card accepted if more than $30 transaction. Card and cash same price.

Got the Taiwanese pork chop rice, I appreciate that they are smaller medallions which is easy to give to my toddler but it's a bit greasy and flavorless. Interestingly enough soup dumplings are pretty good, but the fried wonton are meh. Not really a fan of the open ends, which means all the juice is already leaked out. The eggplant lunch special was pretty good but there's absolutely no meat. For a Friday where there was only 2 other tables the entire time we were there the service was crap. I thought it was bad last time I was there when it was packed but I guess it doesn't matter. I usually expect bad service at Chinese places but they didn't even give my toddler a fork which is a whole new level of bad. And of course the service is super slow, the lady that is there just can't do it all herself. My biggest gripe about this place is the Taiwanese food just isn't great.

When we went, of course we had to order the traditional lamb skewers, but we also ordered beef skewers, stiny tofu, sweet/sour napa, and a bunch of other skewers.

If you are in the area this is a good one to try for traditional street Chinese food!
