    Braised Beef Noodle Soup
    Mic M.

    The interior design was more memorable than the food. After a long day I went there for a quick dinner. Their service is plain but really fast. Braised beef noodle soup is good. The soup is flavorful but salty. The braised beef is delicious and the noodle is cooked well and soft. The portion is small.

    This spot is the BEST spot for beef dishes oh em GEE. The truffle beef was phenomenal I seriously don't know if I ever had something so unique and tasty. They have a pre fix menu that comes with an appetizer or dimsum, soup, entree, and dessert all for $39 and the entree alone was $29 so def a good deal! The wonton soup could have been saltier and the chili wontons could have been spicier but the beef dishes alone made he forget, the dessert is also amazing ! They have happy hour deals but you need to sit at the bar for the offers, which consist of $4 appetizers so pretty cool! LIC has so many nice spots and this is def one of them. It's HUGE and lots of people come here for sit down and happy hour. Lots of seats would be cool to host a yelp elite event here Service was quick and we were taken care of greatly (: def would recommend!

    Modern Chinese restaurant located in LIC with good four course prix fixe lunch and dinner deals ($25 for lunch and $39 for dinner). One prix fixe is a lot of food for one person! You can choose any entree and appetizer from the menu plus it includes a dessert and soup. The entrees are large enough to be shared between 2 people. The sizes are the same as ordering from the main menu. We were a group of 5 and decided on two prix fixe orders and two additional entrees. We struggled to finish everything and left stuffed. The food is pretty good but not really authentic; it's more modern. Some dishes were a bit too salty. The beef chow fun was not the flat noodles that we were expecting. It was a thin rice noodle and was lacking the caramelized flavor that we were used to. It was a tad too salty. Not a fan. The golden shrimp is a shrimp dish with salted egg yolk. It was ok but salty due to the yolk. The tomahawk short ribs were huge and was very good. Some pieces were tough while others were tender though. The crispy red snapper is a sweet and sour fish dish. Sauce was a bit too salty. The black cod dumplings were bland. The calamari was delicious with the provided sauce. The tom yum soup has a very strong spicy and sour kick but was enjoyable. The creme brulee was delicious; eggy and the perfect sweetness!

    When I'm out with my ladies, we just want to find a happy hour that's worth it and makes us happy. We came here for restaurant week and ended up sitting by the bar the entire night. I must add that this restaurant offers a 4-course prix fixe dinner for $39 every day, and it also has a lunch special. We ordered all the appetizers on the happy hour menu and told the bartender to keep the happy drinks coming until we said stop. I really enjoyed both my company and the restaurant. The staff here is very friendly. I strongly suggest everyone check out this Chinese restaurant. I believe you're going to enjoy it and thank me later for the recommendation.

    It looks like they increased their $33 dinner deal to $39 since the last time I went, but it's still relatively good value. They also don't seem to have the lunch deal on the weekend, just the dinner deal all day. For the deal, you can get 1 app/dimsum, 1 soup, 1entree, 1 rice, and 1 dessert for $39. I went for lunch on a Saturday and for 3 people we ordered the deal + 1 additional vegetable. Crispy fried chicken wings: these were probably my favorite. Also comes with fries Short rib: a bit tough but was a decent portion. Worth the value Sautéed watercress: we originally wanted spinach but they were out, this was also good. There were random small snail shells which honestly not sure if that was supposed to be in it. Tom yum soup and mochi ice cream dessert weren't memorable. They charge extra for rice Our total this time came out to $24 pp which was fine. We also had a little bit of leftover meat + rice that I took home and my husband had for lunch. The other time I came I remember I really liked the crispy red snapper. The place is pretty big with lots of seating, also room for large groups. The service was friendly and kept our waters full. There are restrooms in the back that are nice and clean.

    Pretty nice restaurant in the heart of LIC. For the lunch set, I started off with a wonton soup (decent with three hearty wontons), the Wagyu short rib dumplings (I liked the shredded wagyu style which gave it a nice bite), Black Truffle with beef cubes (this was so good! It was served with long rice cakes and the sweet truffle sauce coated each piece and was just scrumptious. The beef pieces were similar to the ones you get in a beef stew, so some pieces could be chewy), and finally Crème Brûlée (really good for an Asian restaurant). I also got to try the Butter black cod dumplings (this was meh, couldn't tell what I was eating), Cantonese steamed black Seabass (a good size pieced steamed perfectly) and Chocolate lava cake (also very good). Service was a little all over the place since we were a huge group, but overall I would come back to try their other dishes.

    Mochi Ice cream

    Went for a restaurant week meal. Again, you need to all for the restaurant week menu. The deal is pretty amazing. It includes a cocktail, soup, appetizer, entre and dessert! The wonton soup lacked flavor, the wontons were packed full of meat... that had no flavor.. the best part of the soup was the fried onions floating in it for garnish...I was told that tom yum soup was awesome. The cocktail was good, I had the josei. The yuzu tree was also good. There were a few missteps with the service. After we got the appetizers we got the bill?! It was taken back.. but still... and as soon as we recieved the soup, they brought out the popcorn chicken appetizer.... way too early.. and the only appetizer at that time... The popcorn chicken was was well seasoned, but the chicken was stringy... The wagyu pot stickers, were not good at all. The beef was not good.. I've never had wagyu that I didn't like before ... they weren't put stickers either.. they were very thin skinned steamed dumplings, and they were stuffed .. but none of it was flavorful. The spring rolls were fine.. the beef rib appetizer was huge, included 3 ribs. It was delicious, soft and well seasoned, slightly spicy.. it was the winner of the night. The pork belly looked good. The truffle shirt rib dish was very good. The general tso's chicken was presented very nicely, tasted like fast food Chinese food.. which is good, but not what you'd expect at a fine dining restaurant with very nice decor and cloth table linens... the creme brule was good.. the mochi ice cream was not. The mochi skin tasted old, hard and dry.. the ice cream was good.

    Keeping it real out here in LIC Their pre fix menu is actually insane. For $33 we were expecting tiny appetizer, alright sized entree and tiny dessert but everything actually came out supersized. Each of the appetizers alone can be shareable for 3 ppl, they're actual entree size appetizers. We were all pretty full before the entree even showed up. Mochi ice cream for dessert was a nice touch Our host Tony is friendly, attentive and just great to be around. Solid solid spot

    Sarah Y.

    Food was ok, not delicious but not horrible either. We came with a party of 9 and had a big long table. We ordered 5 dishes for our half of the table (5 people) and cleaned it up. The portions were pretty small. Service was good, and it was not super crowded.

    I came here for their dinner service and got to try their $33 course set! The interior of the restaurant is a lot bigger than I expected and is a nicer Chinese spot in LIC. Service here is good. Their $33 4-course set is actually a major steal! From their menu, you get a choice of soup, appetizer, entree, and dessert. While I thought that the portions would be significantly smaller, what we got were generous shares of each plate (I'm pretty sure it's the same as if you would have ordered the dish separately). My friend and I got the wonton soup, tom yum soup, beef ribs, pork and crab XLB, beef truffle cubes, spicy chicken, and both of the dessert options. Everything was pretty solid. Although I wouldn't say that it's the best Chinese food I've had in LIC, I do think that it is the best deal and I would definitely come back to do this course again!

    Very solid Chinese food! They a $33 4-course prix fixe menu that's an insane deal! - Truffle shrimp: mayo shrimp's fancy cousin - Braised beef clay pot: melt-in-your-mouth tender - Steamed fish: big comfort food vibes The apps were great too - definitely a spot worth checking out if you're craving Chinese food! #chinesefood #nyceats #nycfoodie #longislandcityeats #nycrestaurants #foodieadventures #eatingnyc #foodstagram #instafood #asianfood #nycfood #eeeeeats #foodiesofnyc #yum #foodphotography #affordableeats #nycbudgeteats #comfortfood #foodiegram #chinesecuisine

    Came here for my birthday dinner on a cool fall evening. Highly recommend their 4-course Option where you can pick a soup, appetizer, entrée, and dessert. We got the hot and sour soup and wonton soup, Wagyu beef, potstickers, and popcorn chicken, peppercorn, fish, and beef cubes, and one of each dessert (crème brûlée and mochi ice cream). The servers were extremely kind and food came promptly. Tables are very comfortable as well. Great experience!

    Maybe we didn't order the right things but nothing pictured tasted good. Service was quick and nice. We got takeout but only live a 5-7 minute walk away so it was still hot and fresh. Can't speak to the ambiance inside but the decor seemed pretty and good for dates.

We went a second time because our first experience was so good that we wanted to try their other dishes, and now after the second time, we can't wait to return for a third. We definitely need to return with a bigger group the next time we go so that we can try more of their dishes! Our second time there, we had the "Night Market Chow Fun" and the "Chongqing Braised Beef." Both were excellent! Probably my favorite Chow fun now and the Chongqing braised beef was so tender and had all the szechuan tingly spices that open up your taste buds and sensories. We LOVED both dishes. It had the 3 chili pepper sign and the server warned us that it was very spicy, and IT WAS -- in all the good ways. May not be for the faint, though, so be careful. Not sure if they can adjust the spiciness. We enjoy their "film set" ambiance, giving it a cooler dining experience than your normal authentic casual space -- adds some flare for a date night or for friends. MUST RETURN FOR MORE!

I know it's in a very busy area with a lot of tourists, so I won't really dock them on that. I got the Shanghai spring rolls and the pork soup dumplings, and both were very good. The soup dumplings were actually quite large, but the spring rolls are pretty small. Came out to over 20 bucks, which is reasonable but more than it was. A stirfry noodle dish is like $25 now! On that note, it's really nice inside and fun to sit at the "bar" and watch them make the dumplings. A great option if you're in the area and have a craving!

It's a pretty solid lunch spot for during work and this just happened to be a few blocks from my office. I thought this spot would look like a hole-in-the-wall spot, but the space is actually decent with a full dining area. They do have a lunch menu, which is in the last page of the menu. Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15). The skin is a bit thicker than other spots, but that means the skin ain't going to break on you easily. And do be careful how you bite into it, as the first one I bit into, the soup splattered all over my shirt and pants. Overall tasted great. Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.

    A Chinatown Must‑Visit for Dumpling Lovers…read more I was in New York on a work trip, and my colleague - a proud local - promised to take me to the best dumpling spot in Chinatown. Let me tell you, he did not exaggerate. This place absolutely delivered. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere hit me first: colorful, lively, buzzing with energy in the best way. It's hip without trying too hard, and everything felt clean and well‑kept. Service was lightning fast, too - dishes were coming out almost as quickly as we could order them. Now, the dumplings. Amazing. Truly some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and paired with a savory sauce that made every bite even better. Even the little dipping sauce was delicious. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. A couple of tips for anyone planning a visit: * They're cash‑only, so make sure you come prepared. * Reservations are encouraged - this place is clearly a go‑to spot, and for good reason. If you're in Chinatown and craving dumplings that actually live up to the hype, this restaurant is a must. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the city!

Shredded crispy duck is lean, crisp (living up to its name) and in my estimation, perfect! A half order is $33 and comes with crepes and what I guess is thin-cut celery and hoisin sauce. Our other two dishes merit maybe four stars. I had high hopes for prawns with black bean sauce and minced pork, but there was little pork and the dish was under-seasoned. Beaten egg white, a component of the sauce, was almost raw and when separated from the black beans, runny and unappealing. When I inquired about 'vegetarian delight,' our server suggested creating our own dish. Four sautéed vegetables for $16. I went with bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms and fried tofu. I asked for a flavorful sauce. I believe we got garlic, but it was too subtle, not garlicky enough.. Service is on-the-ball. Ambience is lovely. And Saturday night, hours before the dreaded snowstorm, the restaurant was busy. Reservations recommended.
