My family has frequented this place my whole life! When I was a kid, they were located in Flushing. This is a great spot for classic Taiwanese comfort food. I was the most impressed with their stinky tofu; my mom and I are always craving authentic stinky tofu, and we always complain that other places don't make theirs with enough flavor. For Taiwanese people, this should be your go-to stinky tofu. That being said, people who haven't grown up eating stinky tofu (like my Cantonese dad) may be put off by it since it's so strong smelling, so be cautious! I also loved the stir-fried rice cakes, and the beef wrapped in scallion pancakes has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. read more

Weeeeeeee're back! The now wife and I first visited this place together as boyfriend n girlfriend in Sept '14 for the first time and this place has remained one of my go to spots for food in Queens. In fact it's been the first place I demand we go to! I'm sure Queens locals know of better places, but for me this place reminds me of places i used to go to in LA. Authentic, great food, fast and cheap. As usual we ordered the hot Taiwanese soy milk with yo tiao (fried donut) and the missus ordered some XLB and dan bing (egg pancake). Everything was excellent and best part was the bill. Less than $14 for all the food. Something like this in SF would be at least $8 more and not as good. I really need to hit San Jose more often for places like this! read more

I really want to love this place, but it never fully hits the spot as I want it to. I originally thought it might be because I couldn't appreciate the authentic flavor, but my Taiwanese/Chinese friends were also left with disappointment. We usually order the regular and spicy beef noodle soup. The regular lacks flavor and the noodles have zero flavor cause they're u able to retain the broth flavor. I would recommend the spicy over the regular. They go generous on the chunks of beef. The beef pieces are really tender and delicious. It gets really crowded on certain nights, and packed with families. I've had to wait to be seated several times, but generally I'm seated within 10-15 minutes. There's a $20 card minimum so bring cash if you're with just one friend. read more

I have recently found out that the famous Lady Kung Fu (Angela Mao) owns this restaurant. She was quite the movie star in Hong Kong and was in a movie with Bruce Lee. +1 star for being an under the radar celebrity in our very own Bayside, Queens. :) read more

Solid sweet soy milk and youtiao! Very quick service. Also loved the scallion pancake roll with beef.

Very reliable Taiwanese food at a good value. We need to keep these business afloat.

Food is tasty but on the pricier side. Portion was on the smaller side for what you're paying.

Rude. Rude .....got accused and assaulted by the cashier. Our family has been customer for over 30 years. Never felt so insulted by the cashier and the boss over missing order. They forgot to complete our order. They did not want admit, instead they accused us. Wanted us to check our take out bags over and over again, ridiculous....... cashier was shouting obnoxiously in chinese at us . Tried to talk to her and she said she doesn't speak english. WHAT A EXCUSE. No apology from the cashier..... WE WILL NEVER GOING BACK read more

What happened? This place was a mainstay for beef noodle soup. Last Sunday it was so inedible to the point that we couldn't finish it. Noodles were completely undercooked. The beef broth had a sour flavor. Oyster pancake was good but the sauce was way too sweet. Tofu with veg was light and easy tasting. Who can screw up salt and pepper fried squid? That was decent. When Mama Lees is closed this is the other option but maybe just wait for Mama. read more

Nice small restuarant with a huge variety of dish choices. I definitely recommend the seafood noodle casserole- its around $17 and kts a huge pot filled with delicious seafood and vermicelli noodles in soup! Egg and shrimo is also great. Their food is often a bit too salty but still good. read more

From the outside you can barely tell it's a restaurant.. even their name doesn't sound like a restaurant. My childhood friend recommended us eating at this place and what a gem! I believe they are focused towards being a Taiwanese restaurant. They offer some traditional Taiwanese breakfast which a lot consists of something soup-like with a lot of carbs like fried dough. I went back for lunch and ordered the pork chop over rice. I was expecting the salt and peppered version but this one came out with sauce over it which was just as delicious. The entire dish comes with pork chops, rice, ground pork, radish, some greens, and a hard boiled egg. Overall super satisfied and left us super full. Not sure if we made their lunch special but the price was surprisingly cheap as well. I'll def be back to try their other dishes. read more

I was dissapointed to learn that they had a grade pending posted at the door. I make a rule to never eat at a place without a grade, or if a restaurant has a C- letter grade thats another good hint that the place may have some kind of serious infestation and or rodents. Well i always look up the grade and inspections in the NYC web site. As it is of great concern to find out that a restaurant only cares to make revenue by sacrificing cleanliness, sanitation and public trust. This lack of concern and disregard makes me upset. I give them my hard earned money, since they are in the neighborhood; i order from them all the time. Yet they cannot serve the public in a trustworthy manner, shame on the management for allowing the situation to take place. I value my health and i am a vwry conscious customer. I hope after you all read this, you think twice about eating at a restaurant that has a grade pending. read more

Service is horrible. I have ordered in this restaurant for take out multiple times, always missing an item or two. I understand that that there can be mistakes when it gets busy but not every time right? Plus it's also their attitude that needs to be changed. No apologies for missing items over the phone, instead, the girl asked me over 6 times maybe I made a mistake to recheck the my bag. Even when I went back to pick up the missing item, the waitress threw my item on the table and no words mention. It is until I said that their service is horrible, someone that was sitting in the back came out and apologized. NEVER again! Learn your manners!!! read more

It seems that they have a new set of waitresses here on Sunday. We were seated in the back in the biggest table. Two minutes later, a waitress comes over and asks what we want. "We just sat down, we'll need some time to look at the menu". 3 mins goes by, the waitress comes back, "are you guys ready yet?". "No, we'll need more time", 2 mins later she returns. We told her we wanted a hot and sour soup to start first. She recommended this higher price soup but it didn't fit any of our palates so we declined. "Then I'll come back to take the entire order" she replied with an attitude. Umm.... what does that suppose to mean? Just because we didn't go for your choice, you cop an attitude with a stank look? Not cool. We were a group of 10 so we needed to incorporate what everyone wants. Luckily they switched to another waitress, and she was slightly more pleasant. But that just kinda ruined our whole eating experience. Plus, after eating in Canada, our food standard had raised up a notch, and these soup dumplings can't come nearly as close. This review was mainly on the waitress, the food is still decent. My mom even said, "we're not coming back here again" after that waitress experience. read more

I come here on a semi-regular basis with my family. It's pretty decent for Chinese/Taiwanese food. Plenty of street parking which makes it preferable to Flushing. Three things I'd recommend here: 1) Ma-Po Tofu (Sichuan style spicy tofu cubes topped with minced pork) - very flavorful and goes well with rice. I eat spicy so to me it's not painfully spicy; I'd rate it 3 out of 5. 2) Beef Rolls (sliced beef rolled into scallion pancake, drizzled with char siu sauce) 3) Three Cup Chicken (boned chicken chunks w/ basil) - tender and juicy. Some traditional Chinese breakfast items (e.g., pan-fried egg wraps / dumplings) are available throughout the day as well. Level of crowdedness: For dinner I'm usually here on weekends but we've never had to wait for seats, or the wait was short enough to slip my memory. I've been here for breakfast once on a weekend; came near noon and we didn't have to wait to be seated. Overall: decent, affordable Chinese food. If you're health-conscious you can also ask for less salt/oil/sugar, but they don't always comply so just bewarned for that. read more

Arrived at about 1230p. Restaurant pretty empty. Ordered variety of food but the boss said they "ran out" of sticky rice roll and an appetizer cold dish of seaweed. How can you "run out" of items on the menu when the restaurant just opened at 11a and its emptied. They probably didn't make enough of the rice roll and seaweed or the chef called out sick. * sticky rice cake- yummy but small portion * soup dumpling- not bad * deep fried crueller - super hard. Prob from last night * sesame cake- hard, prob from last night too * fried dumpling - nothing special This place wouldnt be a place I would voluntary come back again. read more

The food is great however their price kept going up. I've been eating here since they were in flushing and now in bayside. Disappointed that their price kept going up and the owner is rude. The ambiance is nice but simple. read more

The food here is inconsistent. Last time for lunch the pork chop special had no flavor at all. It lacked any kind of seasoning. We had the oyster pancake last night for dinner and it's Taiwanese approved (by my daughter's friend) . Small oysters with spinach was delicious. The seafood pan fried noodle was meh. Would not order that again. read more

Food is really authentic and delicious, the beef noodle soup is superb, but their service people can be air-headed . We ordered the fried rice and we told the waitress at leas 3 times we don't want to add eggs because the kid is seriously allergic to the eggs. Guess what? While the fried rice came, they still put eggs in the fired rice. WTH.. read more

The food is great and portions are reasonable. Order the pork chop rice and couldn't finish it so took the leftover home. Was shocked to find out that my uneaten whole tea egg was only half left. Where did the other half go? Why did the waitress do that? read more

This is a place if you crave for taiwanese breakfast. The fried culler is a bit hard to chew. I most likely will pass on this item going forward. The scallion pancake, sweet soy bean, chive and egg bun, and steam veggie dumpling are so good. It gets crowded toward the afternoon. They only serve the breakfast on saturday and sunday. read more

I am disappointed with a policy of the restaurant. I ordered Taiwanese breakfast Saturday morning at 10 AM. After ordering, I realized that I forgot to order the fried crullers, which are my daughter's favorite. They said they don't sell crullers at that time, and I said I was surprised that they were sold out. When I arrived at the restaurant waiting for my takeout order, I noticed that folks eating in the restaurant were able to order crullers. I asked for clarification and was told that they only sell crullers to folks who eat in the restaurant and they do not sell crullers for takeout orders. In the past, when I ordered takeouts at 9 AM, they would sell crullers. The above is my review about a month ago. At the time, a "George K" contacted me through Yelp and apologized for their restaurant policy regarding selling crullers only to dined-in customers and had communicated to me that they will rectify the situation. Further, he communicated that for my next order, I will receive a 10% discount for which I expressed my thanks. Today I placed an order and when I arrived I provided my information to the cashier lady and expressed to her that George K had provided me a 10% discount. She claimed she did not know a George K, and a man who was either a manager or an owner declared that the they never give discounts. So, either George K who seemingly has authority to respond on behalf of Nan Bei Ho on Yelp is bogus or if he is not bogus, he has no authority to give discounts. All in all - a very disappointing experience with this restaurant. I believe George K is George King, the son of Angela Mao, who is the owner of the restaurant with her husband. Angela Mao was once a martial arts movie star during the same era as Bruce Lee. read more

Honestly not very impressed with the place. Food was kind of tasteless. The price was good. We ordered two lunch combos that came with soup and white rice. And two appetizers. The bill came to a total of $26 which is pretty reasonable I guess. The dumplings and the scallion pancakes were probably my favorite. Our actual entrees were ok. read more

One of my favorite Taiwanese restaurant! We usually get the scallion pancake rolled with spicy beef, potstickers, vegetarian steamed dumplings, fried bun with chive and eggs, radish sou bing is good but only weekends, sweet soybean milk. They have so much more but I just listed some of my favs for breakfast If we order for lunch we usually get the Taiwanese Mei fun, there lions head (pork ball casserole) is delicious, fish filet in black bean sauce, stinky tofu and pork roll. But we also tried many other dishes which were also very good. read more

Great food and location to meet up with some old Bayside friends. The parking is plentiful as compared to meeting up in Flushing or Elmhurst. The beef noodle stew soup and Peking Pork Chop is exceptional. I felt a "welcoming" vibe when I entered. I only wish they served the lunch special in the evening cause not every group prefer family style servings I didn't ask the waitress if we can order the lunch special because the menu States between 11 am to 5 pm and I am a law abiding citizen. read more

I've been going to Nan Bei Ho when they were in flushing many years ago. When they're 3 dish and soup was still under $20. The Taiwanese breakfast small eats are still good but quality of the dishes in general seem to be getting worse. Fried dumplings, rice rolls, Taiwan style mei fun are all good. Prices seem to keep going up, just wish the quality of the food would go up as well. read more

Was looking for Taiwanese food and found this via yelp. The oyster pancake was good. The popcorn chicken was not what I expected. My kid did not like it. The stinky tofu is ok. The 3-cup chicken was good. The pork chop over rice was bland. They gave a huge portion but the taste was not quite there. Don't think I will be back. read more

Always a great local restaurant to go to. Great food and cozy place. Highly recommended.

This is still my breakfast spot every Sunday when I'm working in this neighborhood. The service and food is still best around and have told many people to come here and all agree. Food is great and good ingredients. Need to get more lunch stops here do to there beef noodle soup being best around. read more

This review is mainly based on the experience. My family went there this past Sunday for lunch and one of the dishes we ordered was the stinky tofu, 3 ways (or 3 precious ingredients). They dish didn't come out right but I figured it was supposed to be like that. When I got the bill I asked why the charge was $20 for just tofu and the waitress responded it was supposed to be with other items. Long story short, I asked for a partial refund and they said there were issues with the payment system and couldn't refund it. In response I just said I won't add on tip and it'll be included. They agreed and I left. I checked my credit card statement 2 days later and they added on a 20% tip and charged my credit card. I was furious that not only they couldn't refund me the money but they added on a charge that I didn't authorize. read more

Not as good as before :(( Service very bad, foods not hot and they won't care even if your table are full of empty dishes!

Today's special beer duck.is.pretty good. Got lots of herbal flavor but probably more of an adult taste. My two children 10 and 5 didn't like the "smell". Three Cup Chicken is delicious. We also order the Mango Slush and it's bit sweet and tarty. However, I do advise against any cold drink made with honey. Apparently, they added "hot" water to "melt" down the "thick" honey so that it is easy to make drinks with. However, it tasted really "wrong". I have yet grasp a word to describe what's wrong with water down honey flavored drinks, but just don't do it. You will not like it and probably end up arguing with the "big gentleman" who made it. Otherwise, the cooked dishes are good. read more

This Taiwanese place was not too bad. I would say 3.5 stars. They have metered parking but I found parking on the side street. There was no one in the restaurant when I got there. I waited for 20 minutes for my food on a Friday night (around 5:45 pm). I ordered the family meal and selected the following: -Three cup chicken(chicken was moist not too salty) -Salt and pepper fish (this was a favorite) -Pork chop Peking style (pork was good, red sweet sauce with onion) I would go back and order dinner again. It came with two container of white rice and 2 quart of soup. All for $35 with tax and all. read more

This place has a special place in my heart. My Taiwanese family & I have been eating their food for over 15 years, from back when they were located on 40th rd til now. They have a 3 dish 1 soup special that is really worth it. I love the braised pork belly, tomato egg, and ma po tofu. Used to love their san bei ji (3 cup chicken) when I was a wee lass. Can't comment on service because my fam usually bought to go but my tummy was always happy which is what counts. I hope this place lives on forever!! read more
