    Life is Short F....it up! Family, Flavor, Friends well, I know the food tour and flushing. We're actually looking for a different pancake place, which was actually closed. When walking by you smell like nice savory smell of fresh dough and meats cooking. Didn't even know this place was here but decided to try it and guys this is a do not pass place . Decided to get the pork bun flaky bread and super savory inside worth every bit or bite. This one you can pass on the road while walking, but definitely look for it and pick up one to go.

    WOW! WOW! WOW! My favorite new thing to eat in Flushing. I can't imagine this place not blowing up at some point. On the other hand, I can imagine this shop becoming an Instagram sensation when finally discovered by some social media influencer. It definitely has all the right ingredients. These crispy and fluffy pancakes from Guizhou are absolute winners. Better than any other "pancakes" I have eaten in the US, they certainly remind me of the best pancakes I experienced in China. The best part is that they are served fresh and extremely hot out of the fryer. In fact, I had a hard time holding the wrapper for a picture because it was burning my fingertips. Also, if you do catch them during off peak hours, I highly recommend asking for a new one that they can fry up in about 15 minutes. It's well worth the wait imho. These wonderful pockets of dough are filled with various meats, seafood, and veggies. My favorites are scallion and pork at the moment, but beef and shrimp are good too. The cheese was interesting and made me think of a pupusas, but with crispier and fluffier bread. All options are deliciously seasoned with a hint of mala, which leaves a slight tingle on your tongue. The numbing effect is not bad at all, just enough for you to recognize the important role it plays in the grand scheme of things. IMPORTANT NOTE: If at all possible, wait for the newest batch coming out of the fryer regardless of filling. The freshness makes a truly profound difference in the taste of the dough. Trust me, it's really worth the wait. Btw, this is truly a family business. The Pancake is not just a mom and pop shop, it involves a grandma, grandpa, and a baby too. Such an interesting family that I had the privilege of chatting with today. Ruby, who works the cashier is pregnant with her second child. Her husband Daniel is Dominican and speaks fluent English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and even some French. Grandma and grandpa, who are kneading the dough and frying the pancakes, just immigrated from Guizhou last year. We are lucky they did, or we would never have this gem here. Together, the fantastic pancake and the savory filling full of umami makes such an unbelievably amazing combination. Knowing it's always made fresh and never frozen is a bonus. There is definitely nothing else like it in NYC that I have seen ... ... and I am very thankful it's in the heart of Flushing.

    Pork pancake & corn milk

    I was looking for a cheap and quick breakfast in the area and decided to give this place a try. I also saw it on an influencer's IG recently. I got the pork pancake which came with free corn milk. It was my first time having corn milk and I loved it. The pancake was really good and filling. Only $6 for a solid breakfast!

    This shop is inside a mini food court. The pancake pictures are outside so it's easy to find the shop. They are the first stall on the left and it was still breakfast time (before 10:30am) so they had a deal. Buy a pancake and get a corn millet drink. It was tasty, warm and subtle. I got the beef and chicken pancake. Both were tasty, but I feel like the chicken can use more filling. The pancake was nice and crispy from being fried and it was chewy in the inside. The service was quick and patient. I will come back especially with the breakfast deal.

    These are fried bread stuff with different choices - chicken, pork or beef. Nice crispy outside and soft bread with filling. Best eaten hot.

My friend and I both ordered the same chicken salads. It was actually pretty filling and too much for me so doggy bagged the rest. Service was super nice. They were attentive and helpful.

    My daughters 9th bday was coming up and she loves milkshakes so I started looking on yelp (of…read morecourse) and found this place which also has a bar #winningfortheparents lol We came on a saturday around 6:30-7 table do four was seated right away. We were also intrigued to try the sangria that yelp raved about. We got a pitcher! It did NOT disappoint. It was a decent size pitcher for the price. Roza came to us and asked if we liked it and told us it was her recipe. No sugar ,No soda .It was tasty, thick full of fruit and definitely had liquor because I left with a buzz She also brought out the rosè for us to try pretty good too very refreshing will definitely do that one in warmer weather. I got the Dbar burger it was good but so big I didn't finish it all. My husband got the rib eye burger. He liked it but it was a little to greasy for him he didn't finish it. My 13 year old wanted breakfast.It was not in the menu but we figured we ask since it is a diner. She got pancakes with fruit and scrambled eggs. My youngest daughter got from the kids menu grilled cheese with fruit she enjoyed it so much we had to order another. Both girls for the marshmallow milkshake they LOVED it! For appetizers we got calamari good but could've used a little more breading. Also got chips with guacamole and honestly for a diner it was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Roza knew she had a bday past since we conversed for a bit and suggested we can sing her happy bday and asked what she liked I told her chocolate cake. They asked for the correct spelling of her name which I thought was sweet. Anyway the staff came out and sang with us super cool. Even the bathrooms are really clean. It was a great experience will definitely come back.I must be honest it's a hit pricey.The price for the pancakes with eggs was $23 when we saw the bill I was a little surprised. Kids' meals are $13 and I thought we were getting the cake (free,lol) since I technically didn't suggest it. It was $12 for a slice. But overall it was a pleasure she even gave us a sample of vodka with lemon and ginger which was actually good and helps settle the stomach.

We opted to sit outside but what was nice about that is that their walls are made of glass so we could still see inside and people watch while still enjoying the fresh outdoors. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. We told her we ate already and just wanted drinks and maybe dessert. She took our order and we did end up ordering their vanilla flan and their chocolate cake flan. Both were delicious. Later on, I asked our waitress if I can sing and immediately she encourage me to come in and told the DJ which song I wanted and they handed me the mic. The people in the restaurant was awesome as they cheer me on as I sang Vivir mi Vida by Mark Anthony. I definitely would say to give this place a try. Great local restaurant in the neighborhood, where you can have fun without venturing into the city. Love it!

Concha 2.0/5.0: This classic bread was a bit of a dissapointment, as I expected way more flavor from the craggly and creviced topping which did not have much flavor. The bread itself was a tad bland and dry, the later probably due to me not eating the bread until the following day. Danish style bread (Chamuco) 3.0/5.0: I think this Danish looking bread is probably a Chamuco (after searching the internet), and it was just okay. The small custard filling was decent tasting having a slight creaminess and sweetness, but I wish there was more of it used. The bread itself had a nice eggy (think challah) flavor, but as with the Concha, a tad dry. Again, this could be due to me eating it the following day. Sugar-topped Bread (El Volcan) 5.0/5.0: Searching the internet for Mexican bread descriptions and comparing it to the what I purchased, I believe what I bought was a El Volcan bread. It had a slightly crumbly and dry scone-like texture. Its flavor was quite interesting, too, having a distinct brown sugar like taste, which was contrasted by the topping of white sugar on top. I really enjoyed this bread and would definitely buy it again. Considering the plethora of breads available, Veyta's is certainly worth another visit if I'm in the area.

There was meter parking but very hard to find for this is a busy shopping area as well as doctor's offices. Staff was friendly and greeted you as you enter. Sign posted wait to be seated. Lots of booths and seating area. Menu selection- many items to choose from. Took a while to decide and finally went for the pancakes with sausage link and coffee. The coffee was being replenished by staff. The coffee was strong but not as strong as Starbuck's drip coffee and close to the drip coffee from Paris Baguette. Silver Spoon Diner got a good cup of Joe here. The pancakes are literally to die for. They were fluffy and warm as you take that first bite. It's one of the best pancakes that I have tasted so far. They were light and airy. Yes, I do feel it going to the hips. Yet, deserve a treat once in a while. Will be back for another round of coffee and pancakes with sausage soon. Reasonable prices. Lunch specials menu posted outside the diner.

I heard him making jokes with customers and asking people for feedback. Now to the rest of it: service is weird and slow. When we were seated, we had to wait a little bit until receiving menus. Water wasn't automatically given to us also, so you have to ask. A woman took down our order, but later asked if we got waffles, even though I said pancakes - overall took 25 minutes to get our order of a salad and pancakes. Pancake platter came with two pancakes, two eggs, and a couple berries on the side. There's also an option to add sausage or bacon but no price there, which adds to the confusion. When we pointed it out, they removed the charge from our bill. There were maybe 3 people who stood behind the coffee bar which is kind of around a corner, making it hard to get service if you're not in their field of vision. Kind of strange there isn't a clear welcoming desk or something like that. Also, I think the menu uses AI as photos - there's a picture of a burger with fries and chips, but I don't think they serve chips. There's also a picture of cake with garlic next to it, which could be an artistic choice. We didn't get any drinks, but there was a table next to us who abandoned their full cups of Nutella lattes which was interesting.
