    Pickled vegetables and fish soup.
    William K.

    If you haven't been to one of the newest food courts in Flushing, you should definitely give this area a try. The entire lower level of the Super HK Supermarket is filled with great gems for quick satisfying bites. One of them is Kei Lai Quin. Located conveniently next to a large paid parking lot and various buses on Main street, this small stall features sizable flavors. The favorite that most patrons seem to order is the Pickled Fish Soup. In addition to that dish, we ordered some garlic infused tender vegetables and some pork knuckles. The fish dish was a large bowl filled with tender flavorful fish fillets (careful of small bones) and a savory, sweet and sour broth. At the bottom of this bowl we're picked vegetables, some vermecelli, and cabbage. The dish really makes you want to eat a few bowls of rice, which we actually did! The other dishes (which is why the 4 stars) were alright. The vegetables were very easy to eat as sometimes Chinese vegetable fishes require a good deal of chewing. We would definitely come back for this wonderful meal and perhaps give other stalls a try!

    Pretty much anything you eat in Flushing is going to be good, but every now and then, you try something that is truly transformative. A dish that is so much more than the sum of its ingredients and a dish that you'll remember and bring your guests to try in the future. "Fish filets in pickled vegetable soup" is just such a dish. Came to the new Super HK food court today and this was the dish that caught our eye as we descended the steps into the center of the food court. It took around 10 minutes to make, but I was soon called back to the counter to find a gigantic bowl of fish and soup waiting for me. Just looking at the broth, it was obvious that it was going to be special. A lot of fresh fish was included. The fish belly was sliced and was incredibly tender and flavorful. The bones were deep fried and then included into the dish. The tofu skins, the glass noodles, and the fresh herbs were all made better by the broth. And that broth itself was amazing. It was so complex and one of those rare times where it really was impossible to identify what made it so good. It was a really rich broth that we think got its depth of flavor from the fish bones that had been deep fried. This broth was balanced by the acidity of the pickled mustard greens. There were some peppers and some ground white pepper. Altogether, it was such a distinctive flavor that I can almost taste it as I write this. The dish is offered in three sizes. There's a $17 size which comes with one bowl of rice. There's a $20 size that comes with two bowls of rice. And there's a $32 size which comes with four bowls of rice. For the three of us, we went with the $20 size. They were also nice enough to supply an extra bowl of rice for free without me even asking since they saw we had a total of three people sharing. Don't be worried if you get charged an extra $5. That's just the deposit for the bowl. Bring the bowl back and you get your $5 back. That's pretty common when eating in the Flushing food courts that provide actual dishware. We still had quite a bit of broth left over when we brought the bowl back and the nice person at the counter offered to give us a to-go box to bring the rest home. We also got the sauteed string beans, which were tasty, but at $8 seemed a bit pricey. In comparison, for around $10, you can get a full protein entree with rice. So not the best deal, but sometimes you need to eat some vegetables. Everything that stall put out looked and smelled delicious. I saw someone walking away with a full lobster. And they have a spicy version of the same fish dish, but it looked like almost everyone was ordering the pickled vegetable version instead. Bravo.

    Great fish-head dishes and sautéed veggies. The fish-soup used to be better though using life-fish.

    Food takes forever to come out, and the stone pot crab was a bit bland. I'll give fish dishes a chance next time, though.

    I saw this on TikTok and the food looked so good that I had to try. Mariscos El Submarino have…read moreseveral locations in NYC and this is one of their original ones in Queens. All their locations have pretty good ratings so I can't really go wrong. Came around 11am on a weekend and it was busy but there were tables available. The tables are arranged pretty strategically to fit as many as possible, which isn't the best for comfort. The service is nice here. The menu is in Spanish but they do have an English menu if you scan a QR code. I ordered the craken taco, costra taco, verde aguachile mixtos, a half dozen grilled shrimps, a la exotica, and guac with fried octopus. Everything was delicious! This place did not disappoint. Although, next time I'd probably skip the Craken taco and verde aguachile even though these two are a top recommendation. My favorite dish was probably the grilled shrimp. The way they grill it really brings out the sweetness and flavor of the shrimp. I personally enjoyed the la exotica more than the aguachile. The guac was also really good and the fried octopus was a good addition. I will definitely go to their other locations. This is a must try for seafood lovers.

    So this place is like all the hype is about it…read more Very good service Very clean The food is different and very quick , tasty and leaves you wanting more . Position are a bit small for a whole in the wall like this and prices are high especially on the tacos but that's because the quality seems really good and fresh and effort put into it. I will definitely try to come back And come early no reservations have to wait in lines cold or warm you will have to. Maybe they should open another spot or expand but that's their business .

    One of the best lunch specials in downtown Flushing. We tried their salty pork ribs, braised fish,…read moreshredded pork with bamboo shoots and salted fish-eggplant-chicken casserole. They all tasted pretty good and decent portions. And the tea mushroom abalone soup definitely the highlight of the meal. It came with pretty big bowl with many ingredients inside (ok it is not as luxurious as the picture in menu). One of my friends said he was 25% full after the soup. Service is much more friendlier than your average Chinese restaurants. Definitely will return and maybe for dinner.

Interesting enough, while the owner is from Wenzhou, their main chef is from Fu Zhou. Hence I definitely see some Fukinese influences here as well, such as their famous Buddha Jumped Over The Wall Soup that requires advance notice. Anyway, the reason I first visited this restaurant was because they have a great lunch special from Monday to Saturday. You can choose three items and a soup for $8, or four items and a soup for $9. I gave that a try a few months back and thought the food was solid. Due to my first experience, I decided to come try their dinner offerings with my family recently. We ordered a bunch of dishes and was overall please. While the best dish of the night may have been the Salt & Pepper Pork Chop, it's hard not to enjoy Ginger & Scallion Twin Lobsters for $29.88 right? The Shi Li Xiang Stir-Fry (Mixed Seafood w/ XO Sauce) and Wenzhou Style Dried Tofu w/ Smoked Pork were pretty good too. Unfortunately, the cold appetizers were not as satisfying. While slightly overcooked, the Boiled Pig Kidney was still decent. The Fried Belt Fish was okay, and I did not really like the Jelly Fish & Cumcumber or the freebies they gave us. As a whole, I thought the dinner was not bad and I would return to try more dishes. Nothing here really blew my mind, but the prices are so inviting.

We were sat quickly, treated to the usual bustling carnival of beef, lamb and chicken. In particular, thirty minutes into our Full Churrasco Service they took a moment from the usual garlic steak and bacon wrapped chicken for tender, red filet mignon and rib eye! We also added to our experience the bone marrow which was great! They also came around bearing charred pork belly and grilled cheese and hot honey. Staff were careful, kind, attentive and they remembered my preference for bloody rare steak! It really is an indulgence that I never regret.

The buffet table was smaller than at the TS location and there seemed to be less choices. But the thing we were most disappointed about was the inconsistency with service - we kept waiting for the meat to come to our table but we kept seeing the servers going to other tables (on the outsides, and we were in the middle part of the dining area), then leaving and therefore skipping us. It was not just one server but multiple servers, they clearly have a problem with making sure all tables get the same service or number of stops. We eventually had to flag down someone to ask to be served. The meat served was also mostly the cheaper cuts, even though it's a holiday and everyone in our party was playing full charcuterie experience price. We were all disappointed with the quality of the meat. I'll still go to Fogo but I'll not be coming back to this location for sure.

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 has been consistently well-prepared and flavorful. Although the restaurant is small, they've always accommodated my large groups of 20-30 ppl. Great customer service!

Plenty of metered street parking available right outside; or free street parking around the corner if you can find an available spot.
