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! The ladies are always very friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable and portions are large. Some standout dishes: -- West Lake Soup -- Peking Pork Chops -- Whole Roast Duck -- Salt & Pepper fried squid w.green chilies Note: entrees do not come with rice; $2/bowl. Plenty of metered street parking available right outside; or free street parking around the corner if you can find an available spot.

Roti itself is not as flaky and is a little thicker in some parts, but still pretty good. Would order again still. SATAY 5/5: The chicken has a really good char and brightness from the lemongrass. Peanut sauce's sweetness completes this. AYAM RENDANG 4/5 : The chicken falls off the bone. The red curry goes great with a bowl of white rice. It is more of a dry curry than a creamy curry compared to other Malaysian restaurants. BUDDHIST YAM POT 4.5/5 : A lightly fried bowl-shaped taro with some well seasoned and lightly sauced chicken, shrimp, cashes, and veggies inside. Some other restaurants go heavy on the fried exterior, but not this one. Texturally a really nice contrast between firm carrots, soft taro, and shattering of the cellophane noodles and fried webbing around the bowl. It is a lot of Malaysian dishes, but they also have some Taiwanese and Thai dishes on the menu as well.

The service was pretty friendly and was quick in bringing out dishes and refilling water. As said in the note, I heavily preferred the Taiwanese dishes. First to arrive was the Baby Oyster Omelet/Oyster Pancake/蚵仔煎 for $11.95. It was mildly sweet from the sauce, and otherwise, there was a good amount of greens and a pretty good amount of oysters inside. Compared to Taiwanese Gourmet, I liked that the sauce wasn't overly sweet, though I found the omelet itself to have a better texture at the latter place, as there were more oysters. Favorite of the Taiwanese dishes was the $18.95 3 Cup Chicken/三杯鸡/Sanbeiji. The version here was much more flavorful, with a balanced amount of sweetness, saltiness, and slight herbal flavors. The chicken was also a lot more tender, so overall, this was outstanding and an easy highlight. The other best dish was their take on Fly Head/Fly's Head/蒼蠅頭 for $17.95. There were plenty of garlic chives to add freshness, and it wasn't too salty from the black bean. Otherwise, it was spicy and balanced. This was also tasty. For the same price, there was also the Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers. This was spicier by comparison, and the beef was pretty tender. I enjoyed it along with the rest of the table. There was also the Shredded Beef with Chili Peppers for the same price. The beef was decently tender and had plenty of peppers to add a good kick. I liked the additional aromatic vegetables added on top, which added extra flavors and textures. Best of the Malaysian dishes was the $18.95 Belacan Special, which included okra/lady fingers, eggplant, and green beans, cooked in a sauce made from fermented shrimp paste. The vegetables were cooked down perfectly as they still retained a lot of texture, with the eggplant being a highlight. Otherwise, there was a lot of belacan, but not too much that the dish was too funky or salty. This was easily the best of the Malaysian dishes. The $12.95 Mee Goreng, listed as Indian style stir-fried noodles with authentic mild dried squid sauce with tofu, potato, shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, and onion, was alright. The price was reasonable, but I found it way too sweet. The remaining toppings were nice, and while there weren't many shrimp, I wouldn't expect that many at that price point. On a side note, I have a cephalopod allergy, so I'm surprised I didn't have a reaction to this dish. My least favorite main dish by a country mile was their take on Lamb/Kambing Rendang for $21.95, listed as lamb, coconut milk, chilis, and spices cooked over low heat. Outside of it being by far the most expensive dish, the lamb wasn't tender, being actually a bit chewy. The worst part was that compared to some of the other dishes, it lacked heat and flavor, with there being only hits of coconut milk or chili. This is one of my favorite Malaysian dishes, and I usually scarf it down, but I didn't like this at all. Last of the dishes, and unfinished, was the $17.95 Bitter Melon with Salted Egg Yolk. Due to the bitterness, I was one of the few who enjoyed it, while some of the other groups didn't touch much of it. I personally liked it, as I don't mind bitter flavors, and there wasn't too much salted egg that it was pasty. I wouldn't order this alone, but it would make a nice vegetable side along with a sweet or savory main dish. Last was the $9.95 Mango Sticky Rice. The mango was pretty fresh, but the rice could have used a bit more sweetness and a bit more coconut milk. It was perfectly decent. It feels a bit odd rating this place. A couple of dishes were outstanding, some were good to mixed, and I hated two others. Low/mid 3.

My favorite is the Fish Congee, but the Sampan Congee is another favorite of mine. In general, all of the congees are consistently good. As for the roast meats, I think their best item is the Soy Sauce Chicken, which is made well. The rest are decent, but I would rather go to Five Loaves & Two Fishes nearby instead. The stuff I would skip here are items like their Wonton Noodle and Rice Rolls. Both are made poorly and not up to par versus the best around. Anyway, I believe this is not a Cantonese roast meat shop that can deliver everything I want. Regardless, I rarely drive by without stopping in to pick up some congee and possibly half a Soy Sauce Chicken.

Shun Wang is one of the 2 joints in Elmhurst that serve authentic, fast-style food nostalgic to most of us from Cantonese households. If you grew up going to Big Wong and Wing Wong (or any place with a clear view of a hanging roast pig on the window), Shun Wang will bring back nostalgia. I'm biased since I spent a good chunk of my childhood eating this kind of food in Chinatown, but Shun Wang's food is just sufficient enough to fill those cravings. Their price points are pretty high for Elmhurst (where most restaurants haven't raised the prices the way Chinatown or Flushing have, luckily), and their food is just OK. I mainly go for the sake of eating something I'm familiar with my whole life, and people I can still speak the language with. My parents go to their Flushing location and said that the quality has fallen since covid.

Originally located nearby for many years, this shop recently moved into the New York Food Court a few weeks ago. They specialize in cuisine from Henan, China. What the region is known for is their lamb soup and lamb noodles. Well, no doubt they are one of the best there is in all of NYC imho. Few weeks ago, I stopped in for their delicious Lamb Soup w/ Vermicelli & Lamb Innards 羊杂粉丝汤 and it was excellent as usual. Instead of getting the equally yummy Lamb Noodle 羊肉烩面, I ordered the Old Luoyang Beef Soup 老洛阳牛肉汤 instead. This milky broth came with stripes of pancake for dipping. Well, if you like beef soup instead of lamb, then this is for you. I have not tried everything on their menu simply because I can't get past their soup products. If you enjoy soups like me, then give this place some love.

As such, this place still looks new and is super clean. It is a smaller place but they have a full menu with noodle soups, dumplings, congee and rice platters.

The wontons (which are available steamed or fried) are juicy and fresh. The prices here are amazingly cheap and you can easily have a full mela here for less than $10.
