    Dinner here is consistently good. We dined as a group of 12 and had a traditional Cantonese feast which typically consists of 8-10 courses meant to be shared. The teens in our family raved about the salted egg yolk fried crab. We have dined here a handful of times since they've opened in the last few years and noticed their service gets better and better with every visit. The wait staff are really on top of it. They keep a mindful eye and also offer a delightful dessert service at the end of the meal, fresh cut fruit with sweet tong sui soup. While there are plenty of Cantonese restaurants in Elmhurst, the thoughtful and respectful team at Ocean Bay make all the difference. I heard their dim sum is quite good too!

    Went there for dim sum and it was great. Forgot to take pics of the dim sum but took pics of the menu. They also have a private parking lot but I street parked because I didn't know till we asked - so for next time! It was a nice size restaurant with seemingly private rooms on the side. Another place in case we go with family.

    Back in the area again and went for dim sum at Ocean Bay Seafood Restaurant. I love dim sum places that still have the dim sum carts buzzing around in the restaurant. It just adds so much to the whole atmosphere. Their dim sum is actually very decent and they have a good variety of dishes. The dim sum ladies are very friendly and helpful. I asked for a couple of items and they actually remembered to bring them when available. That showed they really care about their customers and put extra effort into making their experience very pleasant. Definitely a good restaurant to have around in this neighborhood.

    This spot used to be "Ping's", which shut down a few years ago. It's slightly different in the inside. There is a section that was converted into to two banquet rooms for private functions. The food is still wonderful. We loved everything. The sauce for the seafood pan fried noodles could have used a little bit more seasoning. The service is great. You have a staff of seasoned veterans who just know how to do things around. Very polite and quick to respond. Can't ask for anything more. This place is worth revisiting. Definitely going to be back, especially when I'm in town visiting my folks

    My experience and review is base my banquet style dinner. The service was quick, food came out quickly. I tried the following dishes: 1. Salmon & Conch Sashimi 2. Stir-Fried Conch with Crispy Tofu 3. Shark's Fin Soup with Chunks of Crabmeat 4. Rack of Lamb with Broccoli 5. Squab 6. Salt and peppered House Special Style Dungeness Crab 7. Steamed House Special Style Dungeness Crab 8. Crab Fried Rice 9. Sautéed Snow Pea Shoots in Lobster Sauce 10. Baby Shrimp. 11. Steamed Carp 12. Crab Fried Rice 13. Braised Noodles w/Chives I like all the dishes but my favorite was the lamb and shark fin soup. My only complaint was the restaurant was packed and I felt squished in my seat, so it was a little uncomfortable eating there. The restaurant is close to the R train Grand Av-Newtown station.If you drive, they have the restaurant has their own parking lot and it cost only $5 to park.

    - Made reservations for a party of 18 at noon on a Sunday; tables were ready for us ahead of our reservation time; we were seated in the semi-private space in the rear - Parking is challenging during the dim sum rush; there is a small customer lot on the side, but it appears unavailable until after 3 p.m. on Sundays - The dining room was busy, loud, and tightly packed with tables crammed close together--expected for a weekend dim sum crowd, but still uncomfortable - Service was typical: efficient enough, but strictly task-oriented - We ordered lunch dishes from the menu and picked a few dim sum items to snack on while waiting for the food - Overall, everything was average and nothing stood out: the Chinese vegetables had good garlic flavor but were overcooked; the chicken chow fun lacked smoky, charred notes and needed more wok hei; the salted baked pork chops were the highlight with a crispy exterior and juicy meat that wasn't overly greasy; the chicken chow mein was bland and needed more seasoning--noodles had no crunch and were chewy/stale - Unfortunately, we also found a sesame-sized roach crawling on one of the water cups--something you hope to never encounter, even if it's not entirely surprising; we didn't have it stick around long enough for a photo; found myself examining every bite carefully throughout the meal

    This review is based on dinner service and focused on authentic Cantonese dishes at Ocean Bay Seafood in Elmhurst. We ordered the steak kew with asparagus in oyster sauce, sautéed spinach, and a grouper filet stir-fried with snap peas, lotus root, carrots, and celery. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked with skill. Portions were generous, and while prices were on the higher end, the quality justified it. Service was attentive and professional. There's a $5 parking lot around the corner with an attendant, which is a big plus in the area. The main drawback: a large, constantly flashing Jumbotron screen in the dining area, which made for a visually noisy atmosphere. If you're focused on the food, though, this spot delivers solid Cantonese cooking with a modern presentation.

    We came here Sunday for my grandma's birthday dinner celebration. This place serves authentic Chinese cuisine. Everything was so delicious! After they renovated this place, the interior is much more beautiful and the service was amazing! No complaints! The food was super delicious! Every plate was cleaned, there were no leftovers! A great place to have dinner with my family!

    lol thankfully no one got sick from this meal (afterwards) but we reserved a big friend family style dinner and one of my friends stepped in the sticky mouse trap under the table of the private room. and the mouse stuck on the trap was still alive. the host and waiters tried their best to de-escalate the situation but this was already halfway through our dinner and we lost our appetites for the rest of the remaining courses. despite this misfortune, the food was very yummy and authentically cantonese. would probably still return for future dimsum and dinner meals. just hoping they have a solid health and sanitation code next time.

    Still one of the few legit places to get dim sum in Queens without going into Flushing. The dim sum is still decent, prices are still good, and their dinner menu is also extensive. We like coming here for authentic Cantonese dinner when we're in Queens, because it's a lot more peaceful than places in Flushing. The service is hit or miss - some servers are helpful and attentive and some look like they're dreaming and they can be slow. But honestly I don't go to Chinese restaurants for service.

    Came here on a rainy, chilly Saturday night for my Niece's Baby's 100th Day Celebration. Each banquet table had a set menu for $1,298, times that by 12 and it was a full house. Restaurant is new, modern, and beautifully decorated. The tables were a bit tight though. The food here blew me away. They are known for their seafood and each dish delivered. Here is what all 120 guests had... - Red Eggs (symbolizing joy, renewed life, & good fortune) - Salmon & Conch Sashimi - Stir-Fried Conch w/Crispy Tofu - Shark's Fin Soup w/Chunks of Crabmeat - Rack of Lamb w/Broccoli - Crispy Squab (no they are not off the streets of NYC. Lol). - House Special Style Dungeness Crab (salt & peppered style) - House Special Style Dungeness Crab (steamed) - Crab Fried Rice - Sautéed Snow Pea Shoots in Lobster Sauce - Lie Lieu Ha (baby shrimp, they are incredibly sweet) - Steamed Carp - Crab Fried Rice - Braised Noodles w/Chives Desserts - Mini Sesame Balls & Almond Cookies - Fruit Platter (Oranges & Honeydew) - Taro Sago Dessert Soup - Vanilla & Green Tea Birthday Cake Service is a 10/10. The lovely hostess was friendly, the manager and the entire staff all pitched in and they were all bustling their a$$ off to make sure every guest was having a good time. Parking in Elmhurst is impossible but luckily Ocean Bay Seafood has their own parking lot with an attendant. Cost is only $5. I know, I was like whatttt?? $5 only?? I had a blast seeing my extended family. Congrats to Baby Ryan!! XO!!!

    Food brings people together within the continental U.S. from coast to coast. My family member's collegiate friends of 50+ years follows the golden years. Reservations for our two tables (8 people + 6 people = 14 total). The maître d' is entirely absent from the hostess stand as we waited to be seated as part of the reservation; ergo, my family member conducted a walk-through the entire restaurant to locate our party member and tables in a semi-private room separated by a partition. Nevertheless, the staff is accommodating to our large party's with changing plates, moist towelettes, providing one wooden child high chair, and takeout baggie for leftovers. Takeout menus and business cards are both available for grabs which is now included in my collection. Dinner certainly ate my fill for authentic Cantonese cuisine in Elmhurst, Queens. Peking Pork Chops, ging1 dou1 paai4 gwat1 京都排骨 A classic Chinese meat entrée that is delicious as I was absolutely elated for rich fulfillment. Chinese Seafood Bird Nest, hoi2 sin1 zoek3 caau4 凤凰巢 A common Hong Kong Chinese cuisine that Ocean Bay prepared it correctly. The deep-fried formation basket that holds a seafood-and-vegetable stir-fry for both shrimp and scallops, snow peas, boneless fish fillet, celery sticks, straw mushrooms, and calamari. The noodle basket was, thankfully, not very hard that I was able to pick-up the egg noodles. I always enjoyed the floral shaped cut carrots. Sautéed Roasted Chicken The chicken was hard particularly the skin as I felt it was overcooked. Cantonese-Style Ginger Scallion Lobster The protein of the lobster was cooked very well that it was easily able to be removed from the lobster's shell. Fried rice This was slightly salty with pieces of egg and scallions. I believe salt was used in preparation rather than soy sauce which is non-traditional, but perhaps is the "reboot" Americanized version? Red bean soup, hung4 dau6 tong1 紅豆湯 This classic Chinese dessert soup dish was average. Fresh cut orange Average.

    This place has been my family's go to places for dimsum for years and we were back today. We came around 12:30 PM and the line to wait for a table was crazy. They give you a number to call when your table is ready. The wait was only 20 minutes but there wasn't much room to wait so everyone was crowded around the front, so I suggest getting there earlier closer to 10 AM. We ordered our usual beef chow fun, steamed ribs, shrimp rice rolls, shu mai, chicken feet, and beef stomach. Everything from the steamers were super good, hot, and flavorful. Especially loved the juicy shrimp in the rice rolls and the savory filling of the shumai. The chow fun was a little on the bland side but you can taste the smokiness of the wok hei. Overall, still a solid place for dimsum but I would definitely recommend getting there early to beat waiting around.

Overall, even though this is close to home, I would rather make a longer trek to get better dim sum.

Service was lukewarm, I got my order in but the two workers inside weren't too receptive and the menu itself is kinda barebones with most of their food being a bit more than I would like to pay for so I just settled on one order of Singapore Mei Fun. After waiting 10 minutes for my food to arrive, the Singapore noodles which are usually spicy were kinda salty but it was nothing a bit of duck sauce wouldn't fix. This one order cost $17 while not the worst Singapore Mei Fun...well technically it is, even though it's not horrible but I've had much better from other places for a stable price of $12.

The dandan noodles my friend ordered were maybe my favorite, they were the perfect level of spicy and so flavorful without being overwhelming. I'd go back just for my own plate of those. The service was quite fast, and it's a cute little shop that feels like a small town Chinese restaurant. Very reasonably priced as well. Some of my favorite Chinese food I've found outside of Lower Manhattan !
