    We had a group of 7 so we had free Peking duck buns, one per person. The food is always good here and the price is very fair for flushing. We love their soup dumplings. I do like the bayside location more than the flushing location because flushing only has one bathroom and it's a smaller compared to bayside.

    Peking duck bun

    Such an awesome place! That sells Peking duck bun by the piece! For a very reasonable price. Perfect for a flushing food tour, and delicious portion of crispy, fatty, duck in a nice bun. Would definitely go back and am salivating thinking of it!

    I'm here again in downtown Flushing, the place to go for reasonably priced asian food and reasonably priced anything. I gotta slow down eating out so often. I think I'm gaining weight. However, its somewhat diffucult because my whole family are all foodies, and my niece is a Yelper. In any case, my wife wanted to grab a few Peking Duck wraps, $2.75 each, at the outside takeout window. You can't go wrong with Peking Duck. It was delicious and very satisfying. Recommend if you need a quick bite to eat.

    All it takes is one year for changes in the menu. Last year one could have two duck buns and get six soup dumplings on the house. This year? The bill came to $13.34 as I was charged $9.50 for the dumplings even though the bill clearly showed Free Soup Dumpling. Therein lies the mystery. The bun was served with great flair and was tasty. The soup dumplings had the requisite thin skin and juicy pork filling. Lots of the customers had ordered these or a variation of it as many are now available. A bowl of congee is also given to all. Service is efficient. A fine looking China teapot is on each table and I asked for iced water. A gender neutral restroom is at the back. As one enters Shanghai You Garden one can see line cooks making the celebrated dumplings. No visit is complete without eating even a small bite here.

    Peking Duck per piece
    Mark S.

    This place is what Flushing is all about! Their duck buns are incredibly affordable and even more delicious. The meat is so juicy and tender, and when paired with the crispy, sharp green onions and the soft bun, you get an amazing bite at an extremely affordable price. The service is fast and efficient, and if you don't feel like eating in, you can just use their super convenient takeout window. Just keep in mind they are cash only, but I highly recommend this place!

    I've been coming here since they first opened and I'm so glad their business has gotten better and better that they've expanded for more dine in seats (they got the place next door and opened up the upper floor). Pretty authentic Shanghainese cuisine, I know it's not as good as those in Shanghai ofc but hey, it's close! Deal for dine in: spend $10 or more and get either free pork soup dumplings (6pcs) or a pc of Peking duck bun per person at the table. I always opt for the soup dumplings! I usually come for breakfast/lunch so I regularly order the same (for 2 persons - to share): - salted tofu pudding - 4 pc turnip puff - 4 pc pork moon cake - shredded pork and preserved vegetable noodle soup - curry beef vermicelli soup Environment: usually busy Service: standard Please note: cash only

    Finally able to visit this popular spot. Been hearing great stuff for many years but never dine in until now. Came with friends for an late breakfast (or is it brunch?). There is a dine-in table promotion [must spend $10] which you can get a choice of either: 1 order pork soup dumplings OR 1 piece Peking duck bun per person at the table. We chose the soup dumplings. Family style meal; we ordered: Braised Pork, Fried dough rice roll, Spicy Pork Soup Dumpling, Soy Sauce Duck, Garlic Cucumber, Roast Ribs, and Pan-fried Beef Udon Noodles. Place is super spacious and stretch all the way to the back. Service and staff was quick; staff brought over stuff as soon as it was ready as it was early with only a few other tables filled. Lots of eyes to pay attention to us since they had just opened for the day. Food was good. Spicy pork soup dumplings were not that spicy. Everything was amazing! Flavorful and tender, crispy (duck skin), or crunchy (cucumber). My favorite (also the table's favorite) was the braised pork. So tender and flavorful that it melts in your mouth- goes great with a bowl of hot steaming fresh rice. The garlic cucumber provides a great palate cleanser as it was refreshing. I'm a noodle lover but we did struggle to finish the udon as it wasn't anything special compared to the other dishes. The udon was nicely charred (wok hay) but we enjoyed the other dishes more. Good thing it came last We finished everything even though some were abit heavy for a first meal of the day. That is why you wash everything down with many cups of hot tea!!! At the end of the meal, it even came with a complimentary dessert soup at the end. That was a lovely sweet surprise. Highly recommend! I'm super happy that I was able to visit here and try the food. Although it would also been nice to try their Peking duck bun as they are known for it. Perhaps another visit.

    Cold appetizers, dimsum, noodles, cabbage
    Mei T.

    This place has a nice Shanghai vibe. Decor has scrolls with Chinese sayings and story on the wall and ceiling. Plenty of tables for small or large groups. We had Cold appetizers front the front display area, dimsum dishes, Rice Cake with Shredded Chicken, Shredded Sauteed Cabbage, Scallion Pancake W. Sliced Beef, Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings. Lots of good food! The service was polite and relatively fast. They did not rush you out. Relaxed pace. Okay date place. Parking is a little harder to fine.

    Wontons in peanut sauce, Pan fried pork buns, Soup dumplings, Sesame ball, tofu skin roll
    Ingrid H.

    This is a nice place with a well decorated interior that serves dim sum all day. Somehow, they give every table a free order of soup dumplings. We tried several dim sum items. The fried tiny buns were the best, the filling was very juicy and the texture of the bun was perfect with a soft bready shell that soaked up flavor from the filling, and a crispy exterior. The sesame balls will also delicious. They had just the right amount of greasiness and were filled with rich red bean. The wontons in peanut sauce were filled with pork and vegetables, and the sauce was balanced and flavorful. The bean curd roll had good flavor, and the pork filling is studded with pieces of bouncy shrimp. The free soup dumplings were quite good also, with a good amount of rich, porky soup in each which paired perfectly with the standard black vinegar ginger sauce. The prices are very reasonable. We really enjoyed our experience here.

    Pork belly
    Felipe W.

    Everything brought to the table was absolutely amazing! The pork belly was a home run, the soup dumplings was a fan favorite, the asparagus was the best it can be, and oof, that soup. This is the soup you wish you had when you're sick - it's got all the fat, flavor, tons of vegetables and tons of meat. In fact it was so fatty I had to ask for water to dilute it. Come here for a guaranteed amazing time with Chinese food - they know what they're doing and they're not afraid to show off. For the vibes - you can see the amount of work they put into having a traditional theme with flair. Even in food with the pig and pork belly on its back - hilarious!

    Just went for the famous duck bun- really good and quick service (can get at window). Really yummy and affordable- prices have gone up but still a good cheap bite. Overall good- nothing crazy since viral but good

    Pan fried pork dumplings
    Kevin He Zhong Q.

    This is the only restaurant that reminds me a little of home in Shanghai. I'm from LA, so whenever I'm in NYC this is a must visit restaurant. My must get items are the XLB, pan fried pork dumplings, duck vermicelli. The XLB has the perfect thickness of skin to soup and filling ratio that reminds me of the XLB in Shanghai. All the other breakfast items are childhood nostalgic items that I used to get as a kid walking to school. When you're done with your meal they give a complimentary dessert which is awesome. Service is pretty friendly and they bring out food quickly. I wouldn't expect asian restaurants to give phenomenal service anyway as I'm going for the food.

    Maggie O.

    Came here for the peking duck and was pleasantly surprised by the Bao Zi and the Xiao Long Bao! Service was typical Chinese restaurant and ambiance was good. If you spend $10+ dining in you can get the Xiao Long Bao for free! Peking Duck - 9.5/10, around $2.75 each which is pretty fairly priced (half duck is more worth though), it was pretty good but nothing special Pan Fried Bao Zi - 10/10, super juicy and delicious! Xiao long bao - 9/10, typical xiao long bao but this was great on a rainy day! Would stop by again just because of the great deal and food!

    08 to 1100AM breakfast only?

    Do they offer gluten free food options?

    Rice is gluten-free but soy sauce isn't. So it really depends on your level of tolerance.

    Are there heat lamps for outdoor seating?

    As of October 2020 how much is the spicy beef tripe? After tax?

    $9.25 after tax

    It's been over 1 year since I visited. Do they charge tax for lunch takeout if I pay cash? I don't think they did but I don't remember.

    yes they do. its a computerized system. Also what legitimate business is going to answer a tax avoidance question with a "No" in a public setting... SMH

    All soup dumplings are pork based? My middle easterner friends can't have pork 😅🙈

    They do not have veggie dumplings, and the only difference is you can get them all pork or pork with crab broth. You will be hard pressed to find halal dishes in Flushing, unless you go to a vegetarian restaurant. You can also try Joe's Shanghai, as… 

    How was the take out experiences? Long wait? Was the food as good as dine in?

    This food is meant to be eaten fresh, in the restaurant. If you get take out, it's still very good, but your soup dumplings won't have any soup left.

    Street parking in my experience has been really difficult, so I would definitely Uber/taxi/subway if possible!

    Is there alcohol there? If not can we bring our own?

    Yes

    Can the restaurant do take out for breakfast?

    Yes, we do take out and delivery.

    Take credit cards (Amex)?

    It's cash only, they have an ATM. The food is wonderful.

    Hi Alexis, We don’t have the Yellow Canton SuiMai, we have the shanhaiese SuiMai which is just delicious as the canton one.

    Do you still have the free XLB if you order over $10?

    Hi G L, yes we still offer free order of Shanghai Xiao Long Bao with purchased over $10.

However, recently it's been hit or miss. Today was both - the garlic pork belly cold dish was super tasty! The garlic chili oil was spicy, sweet and fragrant. The pork bun ( I have eaten at almost every establishment that serves pork buns in flushing) was disgusting. The pork was almost grey and the it smelled like it was a day away from spoiling. It's really hard to justify a bad experience like this when there are literal hundreds of flushing vendors that serve the exact same cuisine with better quality control. Catch me a Zie Wei Xiao Chi next time I'm in the mood for a pork bun.

I'm always on the hunt for a great xiaolongbao, and I was hoping nothing had changed since my last visit. Thankfully, they were just as good as I remembered. The skin is thin, and there's a generous amount of soup inside, which is exactly what I look for. That said, the crab meat noodles were disappointing this time. The amount of crab meat seemed significantly reduced compared to before, so much so that if I hadn't known what I was ordering, I don't think I would have been able to identify it as crab meat noodles at all. We also tried the osmanthus cakes, which my sister really enjoyed. Personally, I'm not a fan of the mochi-like texture, so while I can appreciate why others might like them, they just aren't for me. The restaurant itself is still beautiful, and the servers remain extremely polite, as you'd expect at a place of this caliber. I'll definitely be coming back again...at least for the soup dumplings.

The Peking duck comes with sugar, pineapple, hoisin cucumber. The peking duck was overdone by a tiny bit. It was light and clean but was a very forgettable dish The Lotus root stuff with rice was an appetizer that really caught my eye by how it it looked It had a cold sweet glaze like a Chinese flower royal jelly. I was saddened that it looked much smaller than I expected. It was cut very thinly which allowed the glaze to cover it all but I wish it was a bit thicker so you could taste and feel more of the lotus root The Pumpkin w cheese was tasty but a little drying on tongue from how it was fried The sliced potato dish was a dish I have not tried before but was a bit of a let down. The Potato just tastes like a mild chili oil Nothing much The fried rice was very enjoyable. It was a bit on the oily side but that also allowed it to be cooked in a way that gives it a good wok hei. Even though the rice felt a bit oily, the dish as a whole felt very light The flavor of the fried rice was also very good. The eggs in the rice could be better. It felt a bit over cooked and the pieces felt a bit too big in it. The pork belly cube came with hawthorn in a bright red sauce the flavor was nothing special. The cubes were also too big so the flavor of the sauce doesn't soak through. Flavor is barely there other than just pork Mapo tofu was very basic and felt lacking in meat.it also doesn't come with white rice which is very integral to the sacuiness of mapo tofu. For dessert I got the fried rice cake. It was very brown sugar/ molasses forward. Even though it had a nice soft bite to it, the flavor of molasses hid any depth of flavor it had. Everything felt nice to eat, felt very fresh and light. The presentation was very pleasant but the flavors did not live up to the presentation.

They are really delicious and definitely one of the highlights of this restaurant! They are just practically overflowing with so much soup, with really thin skins and such fragrant, juicy pork fillings. Some other must-tries: - Chilli oil wontons 紅油抄手 were fantastic. Portion size was a little larger than I expected, and the chilli oil smelled so good! - Scallion pancake with beef 蔥油餅夾牛肉 is one of my favourites. The wrapper was very crispy and the beef was tender and very savoury. The balance of the slightly-sharp scallion flavour was perfect. - Fried chinese chives box 韭菜盒子, another classic. Lovely crispy outside layer with a delicious fresh chives/noodles/etc. filling. - Soymilks - I've had both the hot and cold sweet soymilks, and they are both delicious. You can't go wrong here. The location is a bit hidden (in the back of a small mall), which I suspect is why it's not busier. I've never had to wait, even during weekend lunch hours. Service is always very efficient and to-the-point, which I appreciate.
