    Stir Fried Mixed Seafood, Veggie with White Sauce.
    Samantha J.

    First time here, looking for a new experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was lively.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is bigger than expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fast service. Ordered the Hainan Set 2. Food was decent but everything was overcooked.

    Shrimp with Garlic Sauce
    Jennifer M.

    Our party of 7 walked in on a Sunday afternoon and we were seated promptly in the private room towards the back of the restaurant. We ordered a variety of dishes to share such as the stir fried clam noodles with vegetables, 2 types of black bean sauce with noodles, fried pork with sweet and sour sauce, fried shrimp with garlic sauce, and a spicy seafood noodle soup with beef brisket. The food came out one by one and was presented nicely. I enjoyed the clam noodles as it was quite spicy with diced up jalapenos but wish there were more noodles to share. The same goes with the black bean sauce noodles. There was a lot of toppings with the sauce but I left like the ratio to noodle was too much. Both sauces had a distinct taste where the thicker sauce was much saltier and had more umami than the basic version. The shrimp with garlic sauce was one of my new favorites as the sauce was sweet and tangy with a slight kick. The sweet and sour sauce from the pork actually wasn't as sour as the garlic sauce. The pork was deep fried perfectly and was quite delicious with the sauce. I enjoyed this meal just as much as the first time I dined here and would recommend it to others craving Korean Chinese cuisine. I look forward to trying their other noodles soups.

    My husband accidentally found this place and we absolutely love it! The oyster noddle soup was so flavorful and they put so many oysters in it! I loved my rice dish, too. The staff were so nice, and our food was so good. The portion of food is so good for the price. I cannot wait to come back again!

    Came here for the first time and ordered the premium scorched rice soup with seafood and the jajangmyun for two, which was plenty of food for the price! The noodles were perfectly chewy and the black bean sauce was surprisingly rich and flavorful, especially for only being $5.99. The scorched rice soup was thicker than expected, but it was still a comforting and enjoyable bowl. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout. Already looking forward to coming back to try the sweet & sour pork!

    Jajangmyeon for only $5.99?! I'm there. Hainan is a restaurant in Flushing where you can order all the staples in the Korean Chinese cuisine. My husband and I ordered jajangmyeon (noodles in black bean sauce), tangsuyuk (fried pork with sweet and sour sauce), and jjampong (spicy noodle soup with seafood). Jajangmyeon is one of my favorite type of noodles, and whenever you order jajangmyeon, you also have to order tangsuyuk. It's crispy, crunchy, and the batter is not too thick. With the sauce, you can either dip it in or pour it all over. Inside the jjampong, there's a bunch of seafood and other ingredients. You get shrimp, mussels, octopus, squid, broccoli, peppers, and of course, the noodles. Such a savory, hearty, and comforting meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hainan is great for a quick and casual meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Come here if you like good noodles and nostalgic K-pop songs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You also get free Yakult at the end!

    $11.98 - jjajangmyeon

    My friend and I went to Hainan around 12:30pm on a Sunday. It was decently busy, but we were able to get a table without a wait. It's a bit of a walk from Main Street, so I would recommend catching a bus, especially in the cold weather! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is casual, with the menu items posted up around the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For food, it comes down to preference. We each ordered a jjajangmyeon ($11.98 - I could've sworn the menu said $9.99, but that may be a lunch special price?) and a medium tangsuyuk to split ($23.99). Pricing is fair, and it is still cheaper than Manhattan prices. I was a bit off-put by the orange-colored noodles in the jjajangmyeon, but they had a nice silky texture. The sauce was where the dish lost me. I don't know what it is, but it tasted almost like there was a tomato component in the sauce, and the sweet black-bean flavor was not coming through to me. The tangsuyuk was fried well and the coating had a nice texture. However, the meat itself was flavorless and absolutely needed the sauce. Service was mixed, though everyone was courteous. The food came quickly, and I was granted more kimchi when I asked (this kimchi was REALLY good!). However, you have to ask for most things (water, water refill, kimchi refill, etc.). I'm not super put-off by this, since that's how it is in Korea, so just be aware of it. Overall, the food is still good, but since it is not my preference, I will be checking out other places in the area before returning to Hainan.

    It remains a mystery to me how the name "Hainan" was selected for this above-average Koreanized-Chinese restaurant in eastern Flushing. There is no relation between the food served here and the beachy island in Southern China. Perhaps it is similar to the way the word "Manchurian" is used to evoke distant lands in Indo-Chinese food, which I can assure you has no culinary relationship with Dongbei cooking. The tofu with vegetables here was one of the best tofu dishes I've had recently. The tofu was perfectly fried with a starchy outer layer and a perfectly custardy interior, served in a thickened gravy. I would come back for this alone. I was less a fan of the jjajjangmyeon. I prefer when restaurants use a mix of corn starch and water to create a thicker sauce from the jjajjang, but there was very little gravy here, and as a result it was hard to impart much flavor upon the noodles.

    Life is short. F....it up! Family, Flavor, Friends. was in the neighborhood running errands inside pop in here to try out the food. This is a typical Korean/Chinese style restaurant with the classic jajamyum and jambong. Service is friendly . Mandoo fried nicely and tasty. The chicken was savory and sweet with a good crisp. The noodle dishes came with egg yolk noodles.. Which was a nice touch vs normal ones. Could have a lil more selection of bon Chon . But overall good experience ..try the chicken

    Cream fried shrimp
    Shashi R.

    Ordered for delivery. The beef noodle soup with seafood was excellent. Beef was savory and cooked properly. Rating 8/10 They use the same noodles in everything and the noodles are great. They are long, soft and chewy. The jjajang sauce was very flavorful and mixed well with the noodles. Rating 8/10 The cream fried shrimp reminds me of walnut shrimp from Chinese restaurants. Shrimps are big. The frying is good. The sauce taste like mayo, honey and a bit of mustard. 8/10

    TLDR: Good local spot in the Broadway Flushing area for Korean-Chinese. Very old school flavor and also some tough to find items. Can't go wrong with the jjampong or jajangmyun. I think they've been around for awhile but I never got a chance to try until recently. I found this place because ever since I had jjampong (seafood noodle soup) with beef brisket in Korea - I have been chasing that flavor. So when I saw Hainan had this, I needed to try. The broth was flavorful, it was not too greasy and there was a good amount of seafood. We also tried the spicy jajangmyun which had a nice wok-fried flavor and real spice. Fried dumplings were tasty and the so was the sweet/sour pork. They put the sauce on the side which I prefer - so the coating doesn't get soggy. I think this is one of the better places you can get Korean/Chinese at.

    Their lunch specials are such a good deal! Food and service were both good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is a good size and sectioned out nicely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be returning.

    Coolpis Iced Tea
    Mei Qin Z.

    I love a good Korean-Chinese restaurant, and Hainan 100% delivered. They currently have an ongoing promotion for jjajangmyeon--$5.99 a bowl when dining in and $6.99 for take-out or delivery--so run, don't walk. You won't find such a sweet deal anywhere else. * Coolpis Iced Tea 쿨피스 아이스티 $3.50 They have these cute little signs at all their tables advertising drinks, and my partner completely fell for it. He saw the Coolpis Iced Tea sign at our table and was like "That looks good," and proceeded to order one. It was delightful, so peachy, cold, and refreshing! * Noodles in Black Bean Sauce 짜장면 $5.99 Their jjajangmyeon usually costs $9.99, so $5.99 is such a steal. We ordered two bowls, and the portions were huge. The noodles were thick, chewy, and luscious, coated in rich and savory black bean sauce. * Fried Pork with Sweet Sour Sauce (Small) 탕수육 $18.99 When this dish first arrived, my partner looked at the portion and commented, "We should've ordered the medium." I'll admit the portion definitely looked a tad sad, but I was certain that small was enough, and as expected when paired with the jjajangmyeon, it was more than enough. The fried pork was crispy and crunchy, while the sauce was sweet, sour, and tangy, with large pineapple chunks, zucchini, wood ear, and other ingredients. Overall, amazing experience! The staff were sweet, speedy, and attentive, and so quick to refill banchan. Furthermore, they offer Yakult at the end?! 10/10 recommend!

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 got the meeting spicy broth and the mushroom broth. The spicy broth was covered completely in dried red peppers. It definitely infused the food with spice. The broth themselves weren't amazing. They were fine. Their homemade rice wine on the other hand is absolutely delicious. I would go back for that alone. Their snacks, the fried broad beans, and seeds were very good. The cabbage was also delicious and fresh. The duck tongue was absolutely delicious, as were the beef balls. All the mushrooms were very good. The beef tongue was eh... the premium lamb was better. The taro balls took a very long time to cook.. the glass noodles disintegrated in the broth. Overall, the ambiance is what made the meal great, it was cozy and pretty. The broth, the meat were okay. Glad I tried it, but there are better spots for the food hot pot... just not as good of an ambiance as here.

It's very spicy with the signature Sichuan peppercorn, so if you're not into numb spicy, considered yourselves warned. We specifically loved the pig trotters. I've never had them like that before anywhere, so it's definitely a chefs special. They were made crispy on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. Highly recommend. All the other dishes were also fantastic. Portions are also great, we ended up taking lots home. They gave us free dessert jellies which is also a classic Sichuan dessert; they also had a deal where you get free drinks if you order a certain amount of food, so we got two free drinks. I would have given a five star if not for the super long wait. Granted we did go for Christmas Day dinner. We saw them having to turn away lots of customers. They are super popular. Main issue is there isn't a number system, so getting a table felt a bit random; we considered ourselves lucky. Our servers were very friendly and nice. They told us it would be a bit of a wait, but this was the longest I've ever waited for food: 45 min before the first dish was served. We ordered 5 dishes with rice (forgot to take pictures of two of them). I wasn't told one of the dishes I ordered wasn't available until 30 min after I placed my order. But when the food did come, they all can't together so we didn't have to keep waiting. The servers were also attentive after despite how busy and clearly overwhelmed they were, which was really nice. In conclusion, great food with good portions for spice lovers. Very nice servers and try not to go on Christmas Day since it can get really busy.

TIP: Eat everything with chopsticks for portion control.
