    One Topping Noodle Soup
    Brianna M.

    Wow it's rare to enjoy a meal that really sticks with you. This was so good that I kept thinking of people I'd love to bring here (notably my grandma whose favorite food is wonton soup). The noodles were incredibly bouncy and had an amazing mouth feel. The broth was rich and bursting with flavor. I'm allergic to shrimp and got the vegetable broth with beef and was worried about that flavor but it was so amazing I plan to become a regular. My husband enjoyed the traditional shrimp wonton soup and he said it was delicious!! Small inside dining area but on a weekday we had no wait. There was also "outdoor" dining area Can't wait to return (salivating writing This review )

    Shark Fin Soup

    I've never been to the Maxi's noodle in downtown flushing but I've been to the bigger location in Queens, this location was really tiny and there were only about 4 or 5 tables. We were lucky we were able to find a table. We didn't get too much just some wonton dumplings, crispy fish skin and their faux shark fin soup. We arrived around 3pm and every table was full. They were playing the FIFA world cup on the tv. There were several people who came in to buy the bags of frozen dumplings. Everything was really good the fish skin was really crispy like a chip, and every else was flavorful. The dumplings and the soup were really hot we had to wait a while before we could eat it.

    This is one of my favorite noodle places in Flushing. I have mostly gone around lunch time and this place is usually always busy. This is the original location and it's quite small. The staff here are friendly and will make space for you by dividing up the table if you want to dine in. I usually stick to the same thing, the three toppings noodle soup with egg noodles, beef tendon or stew and dumplings. The broth is fish based and somehow it really enhances the flavor of the beef. I absolutely love the dumplings, they are big and stuffed with shrimp. This is the type of place where the focus is truly on the food. The soup is perfect for when you're not feeling well or its cold outside and you need some comfort food.

    Wonton, Dumpling & Dace Dish Ball Noodle Soup
    Tony G.

    Super popular spot if you're craving wonton noodles in the Flushing area. So popular now they have multiple locations throughout NYC. Walked in on a Saturday around 6pm and managed to get the last two top. Don't be surprised if you need to wait a bit on a Saturday or Sunday around lunch. At any rate, get the wonton noodle soup. Or the combo that includes dumpling and dace fish ball if you want to get wild. All the toppings are fat(!!) from the wontons to the dumplings and fish balls. It's great. But for me the real star of the show is those bouncy duck egg noodles. They have a bounce that really puts it at the top of the list for me when it comes to duck egg noodle/wonton noodles. A perfect comfort meal on a cold day. Throw in some vinegar or chili oil between bites and you're in for a treat. Also ordered the (imitation) shark fin soup. It was solid. Texture might not be for everyone, but nice thing to snack on while you wait for your food, but not necessary. Service is quick. The space as I mentioned is small and can feel a little cramped, but they offer takeout if you wanted to just bring it back home. I'd still recommend just dining in though. Overall, great spot. Also there's a decent discount if you pay with cash.

    pork wonton soup
    Mark S.

    This place is great if you're looking for a quick, cheap, delicious bite. You really can't go wrong with ordering anything! I really like the sweet pork item. It is packed with a nice sweet and smoky flavor, but also the braised beef is great and cooked perfectly, where it's extremely tender. The service is very fast, friendly, and efficient, and we sat outside on a beautiful day, which is very comfortable.

    I would say this is my top #1 spot for wonton noodle soup!!! Their wonton is packed like HUGE bc they don't cheap out on their fillings. Flavoring is on point and delicious overall. The shop itself is pretty small like handful of tables but the lady in front was super accommodating and nice. Now let me get like 3 more to go!!! Lol

    A wonderful simple but hearty bowl of noodles! I was stopping by for a quick dinner, and though I was a solo diner and it was close to closing time, the wait staff gladly took me in. I wanted something simple, so I got the egg noodles with shrimp wonton. The broth was fish-based but very clean and not too heavily spiced or flavored. I had a few sips, and then added the chili oil, which was very garlic heavy. A little addition went a long way, and I loved the way it complemented the soup! There were four big shrimp wonton in the soup. The shrimp filling was really plump and sweet with a savory kick from the sesame oil. This is how I remember my shrimp wonton and dumplings tasting back twenty years ago. No bulls hit fillers! The egg noodles came slightly crunchy and softened a little towards the end of the meal. I see now why Maxi's Noodle creates such buzz and continues to be loved by the community. I cannot wait to return and try more.

    Get busy and hunker down with this no frills place that serves up noodle and wontons! It's made-up w/a combo of real shrimp and shrimp paste which makes the shrimp flavor shine with extra shine! And to stretch the flavor out some more, I can taste the sesame oil in them. SO GOOD! Amahhhzzzing food! Great service! There's always room for wontons.

    I had only ever picked up take out and the second Maxi's location. I was in flushing and finally able to dine in. This spot is smaller and cozy but it moves! Service is quick and efficient. Food is delicious as always. It was my friends first time trying Maxi's and he liked it. Not pictured is the honey lemon, and broccoli in oyster sauce. Love the massive wontons!

    Fishballs
    Emily C.

    Great spot for fresh Wonton and noodles. Broth is flavorful and the Wonton are filled to the max. And the beef, just melted. Fishballs were tastey and plump. It is quite a small spot and it can get busy. We went there when it opened, 10 minutes later seats inside were taken and outside seating was starting to fill. Food came out pretty fast and staff were friendly.

    Maxi's Noodle hits. It is heavily hyped and tbh I get it. It is quick, simple, and about as close to a perfect bowl of HK style wonton noodles. The wontons are massive, like they aren't messing around when they say "massive wonton." The broth is so savory and light and the wontons are just packedddd with fresh and crisp shrimp. Like it is very shrimp forward. Tip: get the flat rice noodles, add beef stew on the side, and finish it off with white pepper and red vinegar. It's basically the platonic ideal of shrimp wonton noodle soup. Around 13 bucks if paid with cash and the space is pretty small, but the turnaround is quick and worth every minute.

    Tanya K.

    Hands down, best shrimp wonton you can get in Flushing. I went when I was in the area and literally just got an order of wontons and soup - no noodles needed. And since I can't get enough and don't go to Flushing often, I also bought a bag of their frozen wontons to bring home. Can confirm their frozen ones are just as good as their fresh ones. This location doesn't have a bathroom for customers, and dining tables are limited to 4 small tables indoors and 2-3 small tables outdoors.

    Does the soup broth have any meat, or is it made of any meat broth?

    It’s a clear broth but we do make it with pork bones, shrimp, and fish.

    Does the 2nd location have the same menu and more indoor seating? Thanks

    Yes, same menu and YESS!! Wayyy more seating! And a customer’s only restroom to use!

    Do you do delivery or it has to go through a third party delivery service? I prefer if you deliver directly. Thanks.

    Unfortunately, we do not deliver directly. We use 3rd party services. Sorry!

    Are you guys really open daily? even in public holidays?

    We are open daily! Depending on the holiday! But mostly we are open. If we do close I will post on my website and on our social media ahead of time. Hope that helps!

    Do you have any vegan dumplings?

    No, sorry we only have one type of dumpling and wonton and both have shrimp and smear of pork.

    Is there parking?

    It's across from a municipal parking lot you have to pay for.

    Is there cilantro in the dace fish balls?

    No cilantro, I use scallion.

    Any idea when are they moving to the new location?

    Yes so excited - saw their sign on 38th Avenue in Flushing between Main and Prince

    Is everything served in plastic containers?

    Most of it yes, the pop up restaurant is mainly self served with easy disposable bowls and utensils.

Service was minimal at best but they just seemed under staffed honestly. And when the server did come by, she was running quickly to and from. The place was not busy when my friends and I were seated. But there was a back room in guessing that had occupants since she was missing in the front seating area. (There was a two person table occupied in the front near us). My party of three over ordered but that was intentional because, any purchase over $100, you get a free lobster and each of us had items we wanted, figured we would doggie bag the leftovers. All in all a great value. The lunch spread had over 7 dishes and we got the free lobster. I was especially happy to see Fried Milk on the menu as an appetizer. They also provide complimentary salted peanuts and pickled radish and carrot slivers. I recommend the snow pea shoots, fried milk, clams with black bean sauce and the Chinese Broccoli with Filet beef. The other dishes like the lobster, noodles and sweet and sour pork were executed well but just not my flavor profile. And with my food allergy, I couldn't try the shrimp with walnuts but it was my friends' birthday so she ordered that for her treat. It looked great! There's complimentary parking if you validate your ticket with a nearby garage, but you need to spend a minimum.

The…read morerestaurant was fairly full and the strangest thing almost all the patrons were wearing their wool hats and coats while seated at their tables. We were famished and only focused on what yummy dishes to order. My wife, son and daughter all contributed their suggestions and we ended up ordering pan fried whole flounder, half of the roast chicken with garlic, filet mignon with Chinese broccoli, fried rice with chicken and salted fish and everyone's favorite dish salt & pepper squid. Once we placed our order and were enjoying the roasted peanuts and free spicy cabbage we realized why everyone had their winter coats on, it felt like they had the AC on and it must have been 55° in the restaurant. I told everyone that once the food arrived things would warm up. Each dish that came out of the kitchen was perfectly cooked and was delicious. The salt & pepper squid with it's minced jalapeños kept us warm enough until the half chicken with garlic and filet mignon and Chinese broccoli came out in rapid succession. The star of the show turned out to be the giant sized pan fried flounder which was not only big but quite scrumptious. Unlike the little scrawny flounder that most other restaurants usually served this was a quite large and very meaty and perfectly cooked. The last dish to come out was a very large plate of chicken fried rice with salted fish. If it were not for the lack of heat, I would have given Chef Wong Bistro 5 stars!

While the food isn't necessarily going to win any awards, their space as a venue is what keeps them unique. Couple this with free onsite parking and spacious digs, and it becomes a destination. The main dining hall is surrounded by bright lights, a large LCD TV, and number of tables that are perfect for groups. This is a pushcart service, which is good news for those who want the nostalgia of choosing things directly from the cart. Not all the service workers are Canto-speaking, as I heard dialects from Wenzhou, Toisan (#1), and likely Fukinese. During the late afternoon, it's important to flag them down because it may take awhile for them to make the full round. From chiu chow dumplings (潮州粉粿) to shrimp dumplings (蝦餃), the selection is standard and well portioned. The steamed variety is preferred here, with some immediate hits in the form of spare ribs (排骨), shrimp rice roll (蝦腸粉), and glutinous rice wrap (糯米雞). The coconut jelly (椰子糕) was especially wonderful and the BBQ pork buns (叉燒包) were nicely steamed with solid chunks of pork inside. Overall, I think the food was consistent, tasty, and well presented. Prices are solid for Flushing and won't break the bank. The gaudy decor extends beyond the main dining hall and all the way into the bathrooms. Their staircase is a perfect photo op for folks and the manager / wait staff are hardly camera shy.

The staff wanted my wife to sit at an angle to the table; so that they could pass through. The seafood itself was solid traditional Cantonese fare with fresh lobster tanks, steamed fish, and classic banquet-style dishes. The atmosphere felt colorful authentic Hong Kong banquet hall energy. However, some of their pricing was completely out of whack. Mother's Day premium for sure which is understandable, but some dishes were simply excessively expensive for what was delivered. For example, our two lobsters, while fresh, were missing that smoky "wok hei" flavor that great Cantonese kitchens are known for. It lacked the depth, aroma, and richness one expects from a proper high-heat wok preparation. A few items felt priced more for Guide Michelin luxury dining than a Flushing seafood hall. This said, the service was efficient and professional; changing plates all the time. So a high level of attention above the usual Cantonese restaurant. Overall, decent food in and an authentic Hong Kong style restaurant that targets special family gatherings, but be prepared, both the crowds and the bill can become overwhelming very quickly. I paid more than $400 for three people. But we had a Tiger Fish which is $50 per pound.

I have so many reasons to believe that Emperor is truly the reincarnation of the restaurant...just a little rusty. I've only come here for dim sum and I'm still surprised it doesn't get even half of the insane volume that nearby dim sum restaurants get, especially with how much closer they are to Roosevelt Ave. I have to say that the dim sum here is slightly better than most locations in the core downtown area, both in presentation and taste. No cart ladies, just a paper and pencil ordering system. The other diners that I usually encounter seem to strike me as locals, which is becoming harder to find these days. Prices are slightly more expensive than the other places, which is probably a factor as to why there aren't as many customers. The other reason is probably the subpar customer service here, which I've encountered on a number of recent visits. There are so many workers here, but none of them seem to have any good grasp of what customer service is. For example, I've had the waiter hover over me as I was gathering cash for my bill and snatched it the moment I placed the money down, also demanding at least 18% (again, for subpar service). Also, if you complain to them about your food, even if you find a hair, they will not do anything about it. The food quality is slightly above most of the dim sum places, but also bear in mind the hit-or-miss service you'll get, which the latter can be super frustrating.
