Services is good. Waiter is nice. Food delivers quite quickly. That is the only highlight of this place. Food was horrible. The mushroom in the casserole went bad. The fish is that casserole was fishy, which makes the chicken also taste fishy. We asked the waiter to return this dish. The waiter actually took a few mushroom to sample if it taste bad. They confirmed, and we exchange it for to fried tofu. I didnt take the picture of the tofu as I had the bad taste in my mouth. Chicken dish you see in the picture is quite dry. The pork chop dish also lack flavor. It is suppose to be full of sauce. Just overall, a bad experience.

Okkkk so I came here for dinner and every dish was incredible. It's really classic Chinese food dishes and very well prepared if you know what to order. Really the best Chinese dinner I've had in the area and a whole lot better than 1380 and infinitely better than canton manor. The dim sum is still mediocre though, otherwise they'd be a solid 5.

Convenient location: located in a plaza which shares back parking lot with a Chinese supermarket/ carvel/post office etc. It is a smaller size restaurant compared to those in Flushing. It offers basic dim sums and traditional fried Rice/ noodles and entrees. Service was friendly. Dim sums were offered in steaming hot carts. Food flavor was overall ok with the beef tendon was more outstanding. It was very flavorful and soft. The fried rice was missing heat ( wok chi ) and it was too wet and salty. Price is competitive market price. Overall, it's ok if you don't want to wait for a long line for dim sum on weekends. Don't get disappointed if certain dishes are below expectations.

I came here with my family on a Sunday morning for dim sum there was plenty of seating but also a good amount of people too! There's a huge parking lot outside which is super convenient compared to flushing locations. There's food was all decent in terms of flavor very comparable to flushing. My one complaint would be that the beef rice rolls weren't the best but other than that everything else tasted great. We also ordered beef flat noodle stir fry and it had really good wok hei!! Service was excellent the carts were refilled and the waiters kept refilling the tea pot consistently! I'd highly recommend trying this spot if you're craving dim sum!

Steamed Roasted Pork Bun

My mom and I go here often whenever I'm back home in Queens! If you go here on the weekdays, you'll definitely get a seat. The waiters/manager were very attentive. I think the ambiance is not the most comfortable for me--it seems kind of old and dusty. The food was decent--I like the cheung fun and the cha sui bao the best. However, I wouldn't recommend the mango pudding here. I wish there were mango chunks inside and I wish it was accompanied with evaporated milk. Food ratings: - chai sui bao (5/5) - jun jui gai (4/5) - beef and shrimp cheung fun (5/5) - mango pudding (2/5)

The food was excellent. Good service . The restaurant environment is comfortable and clean.

702. Braised Fish Fillet with Bean Curd
Karen T.

Came here for dinner and was thankful they were open late on a Sunday. It was a little quiet with about 5 families left at around 8pm. The lamb casserole was woefully lacking in lamb. The pot was mostly propped up by vegetables, ginger, bamboo shoots. It was also very salty. Ended up adding more bean Curt's and mushrooms to lesson the sauce when recooking the leftovers. The fish casserole was better. The Taiwanese broccoli with sausage was good and the sweet and sour pork was also good.

Rude and arrogant server
Fiona W.

We had 6:30pm reservations for Mother's Day, and given that it's a holiday, we understand that it will be busy and the service may be slow. There was a table that got seated half an hour next to us after we sat down. At this time, we have been asking for this woman to take our order, in which she kept saying she will come back. Throughout the next half an hr, we kept asking for to just put our order in ,but she kept brushing us off with attitude, while simultaneously bringing the table next to us their ten-course meal. Now mind you, at this point, we have sat down for an hour, and our order hasn't even been taken, yet the table next to us had their ten course meal half an hr after they had gotten seated. At this rate, I was outraged because she was clearly ignoring us and favoring the other table. If all tables were behind, I would've understood. But because she was rude every time we asked, and she served the table next to us all their food, I was outraged. Not to mention, I have a fifteen month old toddler and a five year old, who do not want to sit still for so long and are hungry. I even brought my toddler to play outside of the restaurant to kill time, and when I came back, our order was still not taken. After raising our voices, because she clearly didn't care, another server came to take our order, which took no more than two minutes. Two minutes that this woman refused to give us, but had 30 minutes for the table next to us. Again, I would've understood if she was sympathetic and if all the tables were running behind because it was a holiday. But she was outright rude and a disgrace to the restaurant.

The food took an extremely long time to come out. I think it was around 30 minutes or more. We got the mayo shrimp with broccoli, tofu and fried fish in sauce and the red sweet crispy pork. We also got the longevity noodles. They were all okay. The longevity noodles were plentiful but not very much flavor and no scallions. Just mushrooms and a little bit of veggie. The fried pork was tasty but I've had better with better pieces

Delicious Cantonese restaurant in Little Neck. They have a lot of space and a lot of tables and can fit a lot of parties. The restaurant consist of one big room which is decorated well and looks decent for pictures. They keep the area nice and clean. The food was very tasty and fresh. We ordered the following items for dinner for 4 people: Peking pork chop: delicious, great texture, and flavor Diced chicken & salted fish with bean curd: made very well Steak fillet Hong Kong style: tasted good, but there were very few pieces of meat Sautéed Chinese broccoli: tasty but expensive for veggies They also give complementary dessert with slices of oranges, and sweet green bean soup with tapioca. When we first arrived, there were a lot of people, and the wait staff was very rushed and not attentive at all. However, once things became less busy, the waiters and waitresses were much more attentive. Parking is very easy, they have a huge lot in the back, and they also have an entrance in the back of the restaurant straight from the parking lot.

A great place enjoy dim sum and authentic Cantonese style dishes. Great service. Very busy, so come early.

If you're craving Hong Kong style dim sum with the push carts, come here early before 11am on the weekends and order the Crysantheum tea. Our local spot for years.

Golden Fried Crispy Chicken, lobster, Peking Style Pork Chop (sweet and sour pork), and Braised Fish Fillet with Bean Curd.
Stephanie T.

It's been a few years since I've had traditional Chinese banquet style food and I've missed it so much! Jade Asian Bistro flavors are on point with Cantonese cooking and it feels like it is homemade. Sometimes Chinese food can be too salty, but not the food here. We came here on a Tuesday night for dinner and there was only 1 other table with people. We ordered many traditional dishes such as, Peking Style Pork Chop (sweet and sour pork), Braised Fish Fillet with Bean Curd, lobster, Golden Fried Crispy Chicken, longevity noodles, fried rice, and Sautéed Snow Peas Leaves. I've been here for dim sum plenty of other times as well. If you come on a weekday, they will ask you to check off items, but on the weekend, the carts go around. There is a huge parking lot in the back of the restaurant, but there is also metered parking up front. This restaurant is a great staple for Little Neck and great option to avoid the busyness of Northern Boulevard. You can also pick up some groceries at the supermarket next door or pastries at Paris Baguette.

If you don't see what you're looking for in the case, just ask because they are constantly baking and steaming for the demand. Sometimes it will take a few, but that just means you'll be lucky and get them extra extra fresh. It is a small location so I'd personally just take my items to go, since crowds come and go.

For one, I think they strategically set up shops in areas far out in Queens that are not easily accessible or overrun by the masses--this can easily bring down a business' quality. We ordered a variety of things to try, including their range of char siu baos, like the pineapple bun, the snow crust, and the regular baked bun. Definitely a step up above what Mei Lai Wah is now, with the chunky cuts of meat, but way too sweet, even with the regular version. Highly suggest just sticking with the regular unless you're really curious about the pineapple or snow crust, which really just adds a layer of sugar. My mom spotted their sachima and quickly snatched one up. They sell a small selection of Southern Chinese and Hong Kong baked goods and pastries, but don't expect the variety of a Chinese bakery. Prices are a bit steep, and I don't know if it varies by location since this location is in a higher-cost area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here if I'm craving a good char siu bao - most Chinese bakeries do them well, just a matter of finding them. Most people who came in when we were there seem to buy them in boxes so either they're a hit at parties/events or some households really love them.

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!

It's easily missed if you don't pay attention. There wasn't much pedestrian traffic either. Business is mainly depends on spread of words from returning customers. Right opposite from the cafe is Jmart Chinese grocery store which is convenient. Cafe closes 6 pm daily. Self service. No tips needed. Service: wait staff was very friendly. Food time was quick. Owners stopped by the table and started conversation. It was karaoke time when we walked in. Food: - their milk tea was highly recommended to us. So four of us tried the hot and cold milk tea and hot milk tea / coffee combo. All of them were very rich in flavor and smooth, exactly what a milk tea should be. $4.75 for a 12 oz hot milk tea is reasonable. - French toast with peanut butter: Love the syrup that it came with. It has a distinct refreshing flavor with delighted sweetness. Definitely different from other syrup from other places which is just pure sweetness. Owner told us the syrup was imported from England. Highly recommended! - turnip, fish ball, rice roll: 3 in one bowl. Portion is enough to share - scallion chicken: It was recommended to me also. It was indeed very tender and flavorful. $24 for half a chicken with one quart of soup. Conclusion: will definitely return. Even just stopping by to pick up a flavorful milk tea which is cheaper than a sugary bubble tea.

OK, I'm finally ready to give my review!…read more I moved to Little Neck earlier this year and have been coming to Marathon Cafe pretty often. I was ready to give it 5 stars after my first few visits, but I wanted to try as many dishes as possible before rushing a review. After several visits, I'd confidently give it 4.5 stars. Here's everything I've tried and what I'd recommend: Beef Macaroni with Egg: A million times YES!!! Believe the hype because it's every bit as good as everyone says! It's the ultimate comfort food. The cellentani pasta is an elite choice, cooked perfectly al dente and coated in a sweet, thick, tangy tomato sauce that's flavorful without being overly acidic. This is an absolute must order! Creamed Corn with Fried Fish: Don't knock it until you try it! The creamed corn is thick, smooth, and naturally sweet, while the fish is perfectly crispy without being overcooked. It sounds like an unusual combination, but somehow it works incredibly well together. Tom Yum Seafood Noodle Soup: The broth is tangy, slightly sweet, and very comforting. I personally would've liked it a bit spicier, but it was still delicious. It also comes with large shrimps and mussels. Rice Rolls with Fish Balls & Turnip: A Cantonese staple done right! The rice rolls are soft and bouncy, served with the perfect balance of peanut sauce and hoisin. The turnip is tender, and everything comes together really well. Bolo Yau (Pineapple Bun with Butter): The pineapple bun is warm, fluffy, and flaky. Honestly, it's delicious even on its own. The thick slab of butter melts quickly, which makes it a little too oily... Drinks: The iced Hong Kong milk tea and the red bean ice are classic Cantonese staples. You really can't come here without ordering one. What I wasn't crazy about: Lava French Toast: Too crunchy and slightly burnt. It tasted over caramelized, with just too much going on. Not for me! Thick Egg & Spam Sandwich: Nothing special. It was pretty bland, and honestly, it's something you could easily make at home. Not worth the $7. Scallion Chicken over Rice: I don't really understand the hype for this one... The poached chicken itself was a little bland and could've used a little more salt. The ginger scallion sauce usually makes this dish, but here it did the opposite. The scallions were chopped too thick instead of finely minced, so all I tasted was scallion, nothing else. :/ Fried Pork Chop & Cheese with Curry Sauce: It was just OK. I wasn't a fan of the curry sauce. What I would recommend instead is ordering the fried pork chop on the side with their pepper sauce. I paired them together myself, and it was much better! For now, I've tried everything that was on my list, but I'll definitely keep coming back for my favorites. One thing I really appreciate is how consistent they've been with every visit. The portions are generous for the price, and overall it's a place I'd highly recommend if you're looking for solid Hong Kong style comfort food.

The service was decent, but the food just didn't deliver. At dinner, the salt and pepper pork chops were thin, over-fried, dry, and lacked flavor. The black pepper steak was smothered in sauce, and the beef texture suggested it had been overly tenderized. The BBQ duck was especially disappointing -- it tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. Overall, the dishes lacked seasoning, depth of flavor, and that smoky wok hei you expect from good Cantonese cooking. Lunch was slightly better, but still inconsistent. The congee itself was good, though the dried squid was so tough it felt like chewing on rubber. The steamed rice rolls with peanut sauce were another letdown; instead of being freshly steamed, the noodles seemed microwaved, making them firm and dry rather than soft and chewy. I also ordered a fish and tofu dish covered in brown sauce, but it was completely bland. I really wanted to like this place, especially after giving it multiple chances, but unfortunately the third time was not the charm.
