    Cantonese BBQ Roast Pork 叉燒 per pound 每磅
    Alex C.

    Stopped by to get take out rice box for dinner. Two choices of meat over rice for $11.50 each and as their on going Opening Special 20 % off. Very efficient and friendly staff. We even got complimentary bottle of water with each of the rice box. This save a trip from going all the way to Flushing Chinatown.

    Overall, the dishes we ordered were very good. We ordered the sea bass specialty, pan fried noodle with shredded chicken, soup dumplings, scallion pancake with beef, sticky rice sui mai style, sui mai, crab filled pan fried dumplings, mochi balls filled with salted egg, roast pork and pea shoots. Service was fast. And I loved the free duck baos and dessert soup!

    On the left is the delicious sliced fish which we already devoured. On the right is the not so delicious fish cake.

    Had a Father's Day lunch with my family. We've been here several times before. Today, the restaurant was comfortably busy, ambiance is casual, service is fast and friendly. Soft modern chinese music played in the background . First, there is a dine-in promotion - spend at least $10 and receive complimentary 6 more buns, 6 soup dumplings, or 1 peking duck bun per person. We also ordered 1/2 Roast Duck (loved it), Shanghai Chicken Special (slightly bland but ok), Salted Sliced Fish in Rice Wine (delicious), Beef and Broccoli (the beef was tough but my daughter is addicted to this dish), and Spring Rolls. As a finale, we were surprised by (not sure of the exact name) Sweet Rice Wine Soup on the house. Note that this is cash only dining establishment. Total cost for 4 people including tip was a reasonable $100. We all enjoyed our meal, took home some doggie bags, and definitely will be back to try other items on the menu.

    Soup dumplings

    Best Shanghainese spot in east Queens! Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch with the family. Gets crowded 12:00pm onwards so come here early if you can! Bayside is the only location for their roast meats so would recommend getting their roast duck or crispy pork when you're here. If you're dining in ($10 or more), you can choose between a free order of soup dumplings or 1 peking duck bun per perskn! Overall, the food quality here is always consistent and delicious. Service is fast and efficient.

    I got a number of items on my visit to Shanghai You Garden! I had their scallion pancake, turnip cake, seafood udon, shrimp dumpling, shrimp rice rolls, and potstickers. I think my favorites were the rice rolls, turnip cake, and the shrimp dumpling. I like that they also give a number of free things! I got their soup dumplings and a dessert. I would describe the dessert as a sweet egg drop soup with tangyuan.

    All points considered, still solid spot to frequent for Shanghai cuisine cravings They have regular menu, they have takeout menu, bbq/prepared meats menu, and dim sum menu A lot of variety, there's likely something for everyone. When I went this time they didnt have my favorite rice rolls or Peking duck promo. Understandably so since Chinese new years is around the corner. I still had majority of what I wanted to try and all were spot on. Very good food Service was busy, but speedy. Food was plated in front of you almost the moment you ordered it. Very quick service and packed when I went in the afternoon. The peak hours on the weekends Interior has decent amount of seating with enough spacing between tables. There's like a privacy screen between tables too which was nice Overall great spot, worth the trip

    Spicy Beef and tripe
    Vincent F.

    Came here to bayside location for some Soup dumplings. We decided to be adventurous this time and order new items. We ordered spicy beef and tripe, crab noodles and crab pan fried buns. This all came with an order of free soup dumplings. The spicy beef and tripe was served as a cold appetizer. We would have enjoy it more if it was served hot. We also ordered the crab roe noodles, this was interesting to try. It was very tasty for the first bites. As for the crab pan fried buns (new menu item), we got this because we love pan fried buns especially the one in new rold mall food court. This was not as good as that but decent for Shanghai You Garden. Overall, we kind of wished we got our usual order but still had a fun time here as always. They accept venmo and zelle in case you forget cash like I did haha

    Salted egg tofu

    Always have a great time here. We go probably once a month and it's consistently good. We tried some new stuff this time like the pork cabbage but we always get the soup dumplings, roast pig, and roast duck because they're the best.

    I became obsessed with Roast + Crispy Pork over Rice in Q4 2025. I decided to visit this place which I've gone past for over 10 years. The food was a bit salty, but it still hit the spot and was a GREAT value. I ordered and it was practically ready. Will definitely becoming again to hit that craving

    Noodle with Scallion Sauce
    Lily L.

    Definitely a place to visit when in bayside and if you are craving Chinese food. They have a lot of seats and kinda have a dim sum vibe when you walk in. We ordered a huge spread of food and as always, the food here is great. I personally just did not enjoy the spare ribs and the duck slices seemed a lot thinner than usual. Other than that, the noodles were great and came with a side of peanut sauce, one of my favorites. The wontons were nice and juicy as well as had a nice kick. And my absolute favorite, the grandma braised pork. That is basically why I always go to Shanghai you garden. I think their braised pork is one of the best I've had and the quail eggs are nice and tender and have a very nice pop to them. The service is good. They will go over as soon as they can when you wave them over.

    Spicy pork dumpling
    Roger H.

    Most of the items at this place are poorly done, the majority of items here are either way too tough or too oily, with that said this place is a solid option for one thing and one thing only, their soup dumplings. Came here several times to order their soup dumplings, I love the fact that they give a complementary order of soup dumplings with orders over a certain amount, and a complimentary dessert soup. For 10 dollars you can get two orders of soup dumplings and a complimentary dessert, which really is a steal with how expensive everything is now a days

    Bbq pork, steamed dumplings, soy sauce chicken and peking duck sandwiches were very tasty!! This place requires a wait- especially on weekends! You have to take a # and they will hand you a buzzer. Meanwhile, majority of the dishes are solid. This is one of the most IG/tiktok mentioned places for NYC cheap eats. Decor doesnt seem that way but our dinner for 4 ppl was $57! I have not tipped just $10 in a looong time for a dinner in a while! So because of that, I'd give more gratuities since service was great- wait staff were attentive. Plus they gave free things- sounded complicated like if you ordered $10 worth of food- which is a bit unreal to NOT order over $10 for dinner, esp in this economy. Not sure what's up with that but so nice they provide cool stuff like this for customers! The rest of the reviews are all over IG and tiktok - they summarize it all a lot better with visuals .

    Free pork Xiao long bao (Soup Dumpling with Pork)
    Miki M.

    AFFORDABLE EATS!!! All of this food for ONLY $24.99 + tips?! We didn't finish it! If you spend $10+ and have a group of 7+, each person gets a free Peking duck sandwich, but if you're less than 7 people, you get an order of pork Xiao long bao that comes in 6 pieces. The food was filled and the service was great! They came and checked on us every so often and inquired if we needed anything. This place is also accessibility is friendly. It's connected to the Peking Duck Stall. Also loved the decorations and music choices. I found some new songs to add to my playlist. 10/10 would recommend

    THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Great variety of different dim sum dishes. All of the traditional faves were available. We tried beef rice rolls, shrimp rice rolls, shrimp dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, roast pork buns (including the pineapple version), sesame mochi custard buns, molten custard buns, sticky rice, short ribs, cruller rice rolls, malay sponge cake rolls, coconut jell-o. + ALL of the dim sum was fresh and the quality was excellllent. Didn't have a single gripe about any of it. + Shredded Chicken Pan Fried Noodle - EXCELLLLENT. Noodles were extraaaaa crispy and the sauce didn't overwhelm the noodle. Only complaint was that the sauce was a littttttle saltier than needed. THE SERVICE ------------------- + They have the old school cart ladies driving around with dim sum in them, which I am ALWAYS for. It doesn't feel like the full dim sum experience without them. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with LOTs of tables. + Private parking lot was a MAJOR plus in NYC as it's such a rarity for restaurants here. The lot was tight, but had a good number of spots. Gets full on weekends, however turnover is quick. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- + Dropped in with my family and a group of friends at 12:15 PM and, surprisingly, didn't have to wait long for a table for 10 people. If we had 2-4 people only, we would not have waited more than 5 minutes!

    - Private parking lot with a decent number of spaces, though you may still have to wait for a spot…read moreduring peak weekend dim sum hours - Spacious dining room with plenty of tables to accommodate parties of all sizes; there's also a staircase toward the back left that appeared to lead to additional seating downstairs, though I didn't get a chance to confirm - The restaurant was busy when we arrived around 12:10p on a Saturday--smaller tables turned over fairly quickly, but larger parties waited longer; we waited about 25 mins to be seated with a party of 10 - Service left something to be desired--the waitstaff weren't particularly friendly, and while the dim sum cart attendants were pleasant enough, they were also quite pushy and often tried to place dishes on the table before you had a chance to say no - The dim sum was decent overall--there was a good selection available, and the carts came around frequently, so it was easy to try a variety of dishes: most items arrived hot, but the quality was a bit inconsistent; the noodle dishes were generously portioned and nicely presented--the chicken chow mein had very crispy noodles and just enough sauce to keep them from getting soggy, but part of it was slightly burnt and the sauce was saltier than I would have liked

I think this is different from the vibes of an old school dim sum restaurant but honestly a great way to satisfy your cravings/enjoy it with a more modern vibe. I love that there's a little water dispenser with cold and hot water for dine-in. Little plates for people who do family stye. Our party ordered a variety of items. My favorite was the crispy chicken wings. Warm and flavorful. That bit of crisp on the outside was just enough to contrast the tender chicken flesh. The pork crab soup dumplings are a generous portion with plenty of broth on the inside. Honestly had so much flavor on its own that you don't even need the black vinegar. The fried HK shrimp dumplings were pretty good. Delicious plump shrimp but the fried dough didn't offer much. I probably would just stick to my usual har goes. My friends ordered the fried coconut bread which was a nice way to wrap up the meal. Overall nice chill atmosphere. Very clean area and music wasn't too loud.

The dumplings and various main courses have…read morebeen acceptable for the most part, but I recently had what was the worst chinese meal in a very long time. DO NOT order anything from the "Special Summer Menu." It is essentially a bowl of tepid noodles slathered with some horrible commercial sauce and a few vegetables. You can do better at literally any other Chinese take out place in the area for less money. Mine was with some awful peanut sauce that made the dish inedible. These items should not appear on the menu. Also had the greasy scallion pancakes which were served with some sort of indistinguishable sauce (not soy, closer to hoisin, which is not typical). Again, could not finish as they were beyond the grease factor. I wanted to order the vegetable dumplings, which were reliably good, but for some reason did not appear on their automated menu system. Finally, as a Caucasian customer I always enjoy having the racist staff bring me a plastic fork instead of chopsticks. It is the final insult to a mediocre experience.

The service was decent, but the food just didn't deliver. At dinner, the salt and pepper pork chops were thin, over-fried, dry, and lacked flavor. The black pepper steak was smothered in sauce, and the beef texture suggested it had been overly tenderized. The BBQ duck was especially disappointing -- it tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. Overall, the dishes lacked seasoning, depth of flavor, and that smoky wok hei you expect from good Cantonese cooking. Lunch was slightly better, but still inconsistent. The congee itself was good, though the dried squid was so tough it felt like chewing on rubber. The steamed rice rolls with peanut sauce were another letdown; instead of being freshly steamed, the noodles seemed microwaved, making them firm and dry rather than soft and chewy. I also ordered a fish and tofu dish covered in brown sauce, but it was completely bland. I really wanted to like this place, especially after giving it multiple chances, but unfortunately the third time was not the charm.

The restaurant is partitioned up into several different rooms where they will push carts in and out of the rooms themselves. I was seated in some place that almost looked like a back room, but it was still decorated in the dim sum restaurant kind of theme. Service itself was pretty consistent. We didn't have to wait too long to get any of the desired dishes that we wanted. Ambience: I think your typical staple dim sum restaurant ambiance was here. Definitely felt very conversational with family. Was not too quiet or too loud. Food: I don't think that the dim sum here was that good. It didn't wow me as much as I was expecting it to. I initially saw this on one of the Michelin Guide website, and I was expecting a little more out of this place. Of all the places that I've had dim sum at, I just feel like this was more okay rather than anything special. For example the shumai didn't have that "juicy bite" kind of feel that you usually get. Again, nothing about this restaurant was bad per se, but I just felt like this was in the lower tier of all the dim sum places that I've had. I think for this reason, it gets a 3/5 for me.

So four of us tried the hot and cold milk tea and hot milk tea / coffee combo. All of them were very rich in flavor and smooth, exactly what a milk tea should be. $4.75 for a 12 oz hot milk tea is reasonable. - French toast with peanut butter: Love the syrup that it came with. It has a distinct refreshing flavor with delighted sweetness. Definitely different from other syrup from other places which is just pure sweetness. Owner told us the syrup was imported from England. Highly recommended! - turnip, fish ball, rice roll: 3 in one bowl. Portion is enough to share - scallion chicken: It was recommended to me also. It was indeed very tender and flavorful. $24 for half a chicken with one quart of soup. Conclusion: will definitely return.

    OK, I'm finally ready to give my review!…read more I moved to Little Neck earlier this year and have been coming to Marathon Cafe pretty often. I was ready to give it 5 stars after my first few visits, but I wanted to try as many dishes as possible before rushing a review. After several visits, I'd confidently give it 4.5 stars. Here's everything I've tried and what I'd recommend: Beef Macaroni with Egg: A million times YES!!! Believe the hype because it's every bit as good as everyone says! It's the ultimate comfort food. The cellentani pasta is an elite choice, cooked perfectly al dente and coated in a sweet, thick, tangy tomato sauce that's flavorful without being overly acidic. This is an absolute must order! Creamed Corn with Fried Fish: Don't knock it until you try it! The creamed corn is thick, smooth, and naturally sweet, while the fish is perfectly crispy without being overcooked. It sounds like an unusual combination, but somehow it works incredibly well together. Tom Yum Seafood Noodle Soup: The broth is tangy, slightly sweet, and very comforting. I personally would've liked it a bit spicier, but it was still delicious. It also comes with large shrimps and mussels. Rice Rolls with Fish Balls & Turnip: A Cantonese staple done right! The rice rolls are soft and bouncy, served with the perfect balance of peanut sauce and hoisin. The turnip is tender, and everything comes together really well. Bolo Yau (Pineapple Bun with Butter): The pineapple bun is warm, fluffy, and flaky. Honestly, it's delicious even on its own. The thick slab of butter melts quickly, which makes it a little too oily... Drinks: The iced Hong Kong milk tea and the red bean ice are classic Cantonese staples. You really can't come here without ordering one. What I wasn't crazy about: Lava French Toast: Too crunchy and slightly burnt. It tasted over caramelized, with just too much going on. Not for me! Thick Egg & Spam Sandwich: Nothing special. It was pretty bland, and honestly, it's something you could easily make at home. Not worth the $7. Scallion Chicken over Rice: I don't really understand the hype for this one... The poached chicken itself was a little bland and could've used a little more salt. The ginger scallion sauce usually makes this dish, but here it did the opposite. The scallions were chopped too thick instead of finely minced, so all I tasted was scallion, nothing else. :/ Fried Pork Chop & Cheese with Curry Sauce: It was just OK. I wasn't a fan of the curry sauce. What I would recommend instead is ordering the fried pork chop on the side with their pepper sauce. I paired them together myself, and it was much better! For now, I've tried everything that was on my list, but I'll definitely keep coming back for my favorites. One thing I really appreciate is how consistent they've been with every visit. The portions are generous for the price, and overall it's a place I'd highly recommend if you're looking for solid Hong Kong style comfort food.
