We ordered: -Curry fish ball rice noodle (L) $8: if filled up the whole quart container. Good portion. The mixed sauce ( including peanut butter) was good. Fish ball are ok. - beef stew rice noodle (L) $8.75: we asked for beef stew sauce instead of pb sauce. It was a bit bland. Beef stew was lean and on the drier side. Portion of beef stew was small but reasonable for the price I paid. - beef rice noodle roll (L) $7.50 : this is the best out of 3. Tender beef with thin rice noodle with adequate soy sauce based sauce. It took a while for the order to be ready. We told the lady we will return to pick up 10 min later. The lady was nice and knowledgeable about what she's doing. No receipt given to us but she recognized our faces upon our return. When we picked up our order, there was at least & persons on queue. Will definitely return and order beef rice noodle roll.

We came by for lunch on a weekday and it was already quite crowded with a bunch of older folks…read moredining in. It felt like a kind of seat yourself at whatever table is empty given that the waitress (who was manning the register and taking dine in and phone orders) was quite busy. We ordered the chicken satay, chow kueh teow kway teoh and fried pearl noodles. For dine in, they also gave a kettle of tea and tea cups. There was a chef in charge of all the grilled dishes by the entrance so our chicken satay came out first. The seasoning they used on it had just the right amount of curry flavor and it was super tender too. The most tender chicken skewer I've ever had. It came with a side of peanut dipping sauce which added a nutty flavor to the chicken satay. Next came the chow keuh teow dish and we could smell the wok hei right away. This was definitely one of the favorites of the table and a must try! The star of the dish was actually the smoky wok hei flavor of the rice noodles (there were pieces of small shrimp, chicken and pork as well). The portion size of one dish is more than enough for 2 people to share. The last dish to come out were the fried pearl river noodles. They added some char siu to the noodles which added a nice flavor to the dish. It didn't have quite as strong of a wok hei flavor as the other dish but still pretty good! The pearl river noodles had the same texture as eating the tapioca balls in bubble tea. The space inside the restaurant is pretty small and any seat is fine (maybe except the one right by the door since it can get cold during winter time and the one by the register which is also next to the bathroom). I think they accept card but for these types of small mom and pop shops, it might be best to pay in cash. I'll definitely be back and have to give the bbq skate fish and one of their curry dishes a try next time!

I should've known how this meal was going to go the second I walked in…read more Before I could even say hello, the woman behind the counter hit me with, "Cash only!" I said I didn't have cash, and without missing a beat she grunted, "Credit over $30 only!" No "welcome," no "how are you," just straight into survival mode. My colleague ordered first. When it was my turn, I committed the unforgivable crime of asking, "Is there meat in this dish?" Apparently that's considered a high-maintenance request. She rolled her eyes, muttered something in Cantonese, and walked away. The customer behind me, who was picking up her order, quietly told me the employee had just said she "doesn't have time to serve people who don't know what they want." My apologies for not memorizing the menu before my first visit. Five minutes later, another woman came over and took my incredibly difficult order... noodles. Then I entered what felt like the DMV of noodle shops. About 15 minutes later my colleague got her food. Another 15 minutes passed. A family of three walked in after us, sat down, and started getting their meals while I was still waiting for my noodles. At this point I was emotionally invested in seeing how long this social experiment would last. When we asked where my food was, the original woman simply said, "SOON!." Apparently "soon" means 72 minutes here. I placed my order at 1:08 p.m. and didn't get my food until 2:20 p.m. I'm convinced my ticket took a gap year before making its way to the kitchen. If they forgot my order, that's annoying but understandable. What isn't understandable is pretending everything is fine, offering zero explanation, zero apology, and acting like waiting over an hour for noodles is perfectly normal. The biggest plot twist? The food wasn't even worth it. Bland, lacking flavor, and somehow managed to make a 72-minute wait feel even more disappointing. The service had more attitude than seasoning. Save yourself the time and eat literally anywhere else.

I've eaten plenty of beef vermicelli noodles around Flushing but I always find myself back at here…read moreif I don't want to be disappointed. It's always quick here, nice and cool during the summer days. Everyone is just relaxing having their own bowl, not noisy. I always order B1 which is their beef shank vermicelli noodle soup and I ask for spicy. The soup is spot on, super umami. Beef is melt in your mouth cubes but I always wished they would put more in lol - but for $10 so it's good enough. I always eat a bowl and it's just the right amount, without feeling over stuffed. The rice noodles have a good consistency. Recommended for a solid bowl of beef vermicelli noodle soup. I'll try other items on their menu.

I came on a Thursday evening and there were several groups of local Chinese folks (a good sign) but enough empty tables that my small group was seated right away. There was complimentary hot tea and small appetizers of pickled cabbage and shredded potato which were appreciated. We ordered several dishes to share family-style. I recommend the di san xian (amazing eggplant and sauce), the stir-fried lamb with scallions (not gamey at all), and the sweet and sour "squirrel" fish. I was especially impressed by the latter - I haven't found a rendition of squirrel fish that matched what I had in China until now, perfectly filleted and boneless and crispy. Everything was very reasonably priced for the large portion size and the yumminess! Service is what you'd expect from an old-school Chinese spot: dishes come out intermittently whenever they're ready, you sometimes have to flag down a waiter or get up to find one, and I didn't love the whiff of cigarette smoke I caught when walking by one of the private rooms. Still loved the meal and would want to bring my family one day!

I've been ordering mostly take-out and have eaten in only once. I usually get the Malatang, Guobarou, also known as their Sweet and Sour, and the Mala Chicken Strips. This place is one of my favorite restaurants to order from for Malatang. Be prepared to wait a while though. I want to say that it took around 20-30 minutes to receive my Guobarou. Sometimes, it's also sold out for the day. The ingredients were fresh and I appreciate that we are able to choose our own ingredients, rather than have the staff pick it for you. Just a warning, for their Malatang and Mala Xianguo, their medium spice level is much spicier than other places.

I haven't been to many mala tang places, but out of the few I've been to, I like this one the most…read more The broth is so flavorful and the reason why I like it more than other spots. It has a nice warm nutty flavor that either comes from sesame or peanut (so beware with nut allergies if you're going to order the mala tang). I got mine mild spicy, but personally it felt more like a medium as I walked out of the place with the sniffles. I also really liked the wide variety of veggie ingredients they had (majority of the big fridge is veg ingredients). My bowl came out to be a little bit over 1lb, which was almost $17, but for those who want xiang guo (dry pot) there's a minimum of 1.3lbs. The only other thing to be aware of when dining here is that it's pretty small and the width is about two small hallways combined. Definitely not ideal for larger parties.

The crawfish come cooked and seasoned (garlic, spicy, or 13 spice) in a big bowl. The lambspine was very flavorful and rich with a good amount of meat on each one. It pairs amazingly with the spicy flavoring of the spicy hotpot base. The crawfish are very large and come super well seasoned with 3 flavors to choose from. Easy to peel and very delicious. Not only was the food good, the service was also amazing. We were never treated with a poor attitude despite ordering tons of food. It is very common at AYCE places that the servers are very stingy, ignore you, and give small portions. At this place it was the opposite and I was pleasantly suprised. We were given large portions and the waiter gave us the food very fast. We also arrived near closing time and they still welcomed us and didn't rush us at all. Overall it was an amazing experience and I recommend to all if you love crawfish/lamb spine.
