Servers spoke to us in Chinese (not sure how good her English is). We ordered a few different types of skewers (squid, pork belly, lamb, and yellow croaker). Also ordered a pea shoots sautéed and a spicy beef pot. A man went outside with the skewers to cook them at the pushcart on the sidewalk. He came back in with them cooked. Nice and hot. The seasoning of cumin and other seasonings was the same on all the skewers. We enjoyed them very much. There was too much food for the two of us (we also got a bowl of rice for each of us). They kindly packed our leftovers to bring home. If you're in the area, you should give this place a try.

So when you order they'll bring it outside to be cooked. It appears to be a family owned restaurant and the staff is really nice. I don't know any Chinese (I should), but I usually just point to the item I want and say how many. I've returned 3 times in less than a week since it's so easy and yummy. I think I'm going to create my own cheat sheet for ordering because I'll be a frequent customer. Tip: Street parking in front.

Very laid back atmosphere. Not a fancy place. Located across the street from the botanical garden…read more Food here is tasty and totally hits right. Ordered the big plate chicken that comes with homemade noodles. The chicken is flavorful and the noodles are the perfect accompaniment. Love the texture of the noodles. Nice and chewy. We loved the lamb skewers. Generous portion for $4.99. Tasted like quality meat with the perfect combo of lean and fat. The baked buns are actually meat pies baked with phyllo dough. I love phyllo dough and the filling was very tasty but would have preferred more filling as it washer dough heavy. I love milk tea so I had to order the Nurlan milk tea. Huge portion. Literally came in a bowl. Found it tasteless. Service here is friendly and fast.

Found this spot on a whim and decided to try it out! I ended up dining in here. It's not ideal…read moresince it's small inside with about 3 tables. I love love love the classic Taiwanese dishes that were on the menu here. I couldn't help myself but to order to my stomachs content. Of course, the stinky tofu! Not as stinky as I'd like (IYKYK). But the flavor of the sauce with the hot sauce that it comes with matches perfectly. I also ordered a trio appetizer of braised intestines, pig foot and tofu. They were all delicious! Nicely warm and all melts in your mouth. Good flavor! Pairs well with rice. My main was the chicken set. Delicious! And I love how they did the chicken 2 ways. With all the little side apps that it comes with as well. Everything was great. I didn't give a full 5 stars and this one negative may break it for you in coming here but while I was sitting I did notice small baby roaches strolling along the walls. Not a good sign and like I said might turn you away. I'll probably just order to go from here BUT that stuff doesn't phase me as long as it wasn't in my food. Let me know what you think!

First time coming and the food was just ok. The beef noodle…read moresoup was pretty good. Nice flavor and good portion size. The braised pork over rice was a good simple dish. The sesame noodle honestly was not very good. Normally this would be a dry cold dish, however this was hot and still wet on the bottom. The flavor was a bit on the sweeter side. The dan dan noodles was not bad flavor was good and portion size was good. Honestly the best thing I had was the popcorn chicken which was made well. The place is pretty small only about 14 seats total and maybe another 4 seat in front of the window bar style. Quite little place. The service was a bit on the slow side and the waiter was not very tentative. Lucky we were there earlier and first as we probably would have had to wait a bit for food. I guess due to only two person crew.

Located in Flushing, you will find Dumpling Xi, along with rows of other Asian places. It's a…read moresmall cafe style place that was busy and clean. We were greeted and seated. Waters and menu arrived quickly. It was going on 10pm EST so we wanted a light meal. They specialize in steamed and fried dumplings. While I prefer steamed, I didn't want a dozen dumplings. There were no option for half an order. For the fried dumplings, you could order 6 of them so we went that route. We ordered the chicken and corn and the shrimp, fish roe and pork shoulder dumplings. Service was quick. There's an area to make your own sauce so I helped myself to a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, chili sauce &. garlic. Yum not too greasy and flavorful with the sauce. Only a block from the hotel too! The beginning of my dim sum adventure.

Every bite is quite literally a burst of flavors…read more Ordered the shrimp, fish roe, and pork dumpling with a chicken leg combo pot. The chicken leg combo surprised me with how tender and tasty the chicken was. The bean curds also carried the flavor well. The dumplings were another surprise. Every bite popped with a little bit of juice from the shrimp and fish roe. Amazing. The only downside I would say is there are no plates that I'm used to eating at restaurants. I just took an extra sauce dish and used that. Service was relatively quick. Food came out nice and hot. There are some condiments you can grab yourself near the back. Inside is quite small, tables are decently spaced out.

Shi Miao Dao has become one of the more popular franchises. However, this location is not one of my favorites. First of all, I have been here a few times and the servers are usually somewhat dismissive. Not always, but it doesn't feel warm and friendly most of the time. Secondly, the food is just average and the broth always feels a little light and lacks depth. Their other branch location on Kissena Blvd is better.

Here for an early lunch. Although I'm more of a rice person, and this is more of a noodle place, I…read morestill really enjoyed this Yunnan chinese restaurant. Hot day, nice AC, nice music, excellent waiter, complimentary tea. My wife ordered Tomato Fish Fillet Rice Noodle soup ($14.95). I ordered Chicken Leg with Mushroom Rice Noodle soup ($12.95). My wife's order was slightly more bold flavored than mine, but both were delicious. The restaurant was also running this free fruit drink promo where you receive a free fruit tea drink if you post a picture of your food and a review on social media. My wife got a passion fruit tea drink, and I got a peach tea. I didn't get to taste my wife's drink but my drink was excellent. If you like rice noodle soup, this eatery rates a good 4 stars. However, because of the excellent service, and especially the prices for everything we got, I have to bump up my rating another 1/2 star for an robust overall total of 4 1/2 stars.

What we ordered: - Pork Chop combo - Popcorn Chicken combo Both of our meals came with rice, stir fry veggies, and an eggs. We both enjoyed our meals, nothing special but just a decent meal as a good price. The veggies somehow were the highlight of our dish. Yum! It was a good size so we were full after finishing just one portion and took the rest home. We had two servers. The man was very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this place if you're in the area looking for a authentic Taiwanese/Chinese meal.

This spot is a slightly more elevated and nicely decorated with warm and friendly service. I ordered a Sichuan classic, twice cooked pork, and a new dish I've never seen before, snow pea leaves in broth. The twice cooked pork was a fantastic iteration of this dish. The pork was sliced thin with the perfect amount of chew which paired well texturally with the soft, buttery leeks. The flavor was so well balanced while being heavily seasoned and the smoky wok hei flavor really comes through. The snow pea leaves were soft and silky with tender stems, and they came served in a golden broth with some mushrooms, juicy tomato and snappy pieces of black fungus. The dish is topped with a century egg. I found the broth itself to have a bit of a grainy texture when sipped. I've tried century egg in the past and while I'm not disgusted by it, I never quite felt like I understand the ingredient until eating this dish. The creamy, funky flavor of the egg reminds me of blue cheese and it pairs very well with the subtle flavors of the snow pea leaves and amplifies the richness of the broth. I really enjoyed my experience here and would like to return with a group to try more of the Sichuan classics on the menu.

We came for dim sum and stayed for lunch. I loved that the rice rolls were made only if someone ordered them. My fav is the shrimp rice roll. The shrimp rice crepe wrapped me in its warm embrace while the fresh shrimp was almost crunchy, steamed just right. The chicken feet will always be one of my favorite dishes, they marinate it well and it's usually very flavorful. Our seafood chow fun was very well made, fresh rice noodle with shrimp, scallops, squid and other seafood cooked just right. The chefs here are spot on every time in taste, texture and the degree to which everything should be cooked to perfection. It's always a joy to feast here for celebrations, family dinners and everything in-between. Two thumbs up! Ocean Bay Seafood Restaurant is definitely a hidden gem and consistently brings amazing comfort food to all who crave an exciting foodie adventure.

My favorite was the shrimp cheung fun--it's one of my go-to dim sum dishes, and this one did not disappoint. We also ordered from the menu the pan-fried noodles with beef, which came in a surprisingly large portion and was very tasty. Service was quick, and the food arrived without much wait. One thing to note is that the dining room feels a bit tight, especially with the traditional dim sum carts moving around the aisles. Parking was easy since there's free parking nearby, which is definitely a plus. Overall, while Ocean Bay wouldn't be my first choice for Sunday dim sum, it's a solid option if you're in the area or craving dim sum without a long wait.
