    Hunan restaurants in NYC are harder to find than a Republican at Burning Man, so when I came across Young and Rich as a lunch contender, I was skeptical there'd actually be authentic (and good) Hunan dishes. But there were, and I was more than happy to be wrong. The black Fried Stinky Tofu was delightfully musky and pungent, though nowhere near as stinky as its Taiwanese cousin (as is typical). Definitely get this for dining mates who've always wanted to try stinky tofu but need a "training wheels" version to start. The Sauteed Prawns with Garlic and Vermicelli were gloriously crunchy and juicy, while the Griddle Spicy Bullfrog Pot was classic Hunan in a stew--from the chewy frog meat to the delicious green peppers. Similarly, the Stir-Fried Beef Hunan Style hit all the right regional notes. And the House Special Fish Head with Hunan Pepper--while taking an extra 45 min to prepare--was worth the wait for the mouth-tender fish and delicate spice, so similar yet so different from its bombastic Sichuan cousin. Service was pretty easy and attentive throughout, and the decor was modern and clean.

    If you love spicy Hunan food, this is a very good place. Caution that it will be spicy like Thai food lol. It is tasty, spicy, flavorful! Service is fast and efficient! Modern and slick ambiance plus !!! Surprisingly clean than most Chinese restaurants I have been to.... Oh the food portion is gargantuan!

    Nice selection with all the mala dishes you can choose from. Tried the mala fish, stir fry pepper chicken, and mala frog. Flavor was very good. Wish it was a bit hotter. Decor is also nice and clean.

    Gooey desert

    I went because my hotel recommended it, plus, it was close by on a very cold night. I ordered the Tumeric Chicken at 50% spicy. The food was delicious, however, there was more bone and gristle than chicken. I asked about it and was told this was normal. They brought me a free desert I did not ask for and asked me three times to give them a review, so here it is. I would have traded that gooey desert for some edible chicken any day of the week!

    Came here after seeing the reviews. Was pleasantly surprised. Everything we ordered was good. The flavor and price were good. It's a nice small hidden place in flushing. Each dish has its own different flavors. Service was good. I would come back here again

    Now when they ask you what level spice you want be careful which number you give them because they do make it very spicy. The chicken fried rice was soo good. I'm a flight attendant on a layover & I will be back for some good food!!

    Food (5/5): We ordered Mao's braised pork and Hunan sliced beef. Wow, the food here was actually quite good. We came here because of the fun name but the food surprised us with the delicious quality. Service (4/5): Solid service where they seated us quick and got our food out. They had no issues with refilling drinks and getting utensils. Ambiance (5/5): Nicely decorated interior with Chinese rich vibe type decorations. Really liked the theming of this place.

    Mao braised pork
    June-Young C.

    We got the Chairman Mao braised pork belly, and hunan sliced beef. Pretty interesting aesthetic here, with the cats and dead mouse. Luckily they don't check your age or TC before you're seated here. The free appetizer of spicy mala pickled cabbage and nuts is really good. The sliced Hunan beef is transcendent. Like I've literally never had this level of juicy and tender beef. I almost thought this was wagyu beef. Wasn't too spicy at the regular level, and had a good mix of bean sprouts and thick glass noodles to soak up the broth. The chaiman mao braised pork belly was also really good. They have massive chunks of meat, and crunchy bok choy for fiber. Really juicy meat, maybe I'll try the sweet version later.

    Stir Fry Gizzards

    The food is really good, but the portions are a bit on the smaller size for some dishes, especially if you're getting a grilled fish. It was yummy to try though! Grilled Fish: we settled on the stripe bass ($50), and with 5 add ons, it was an additional $15. The flavor was pretty good, but for the price, you really don't get much. I thought the fish was especially on the smaller side, also quite salty, while I kinda had to play I spy with the toppings, it wasn't enough to go around. There's another place I prefer more for this dish that does a better job, and is better with the portions. Cold Dish Appetizer Sampler: I loved this one! It's perfect for first time visitors who have indecision but also want to try everything on the appetizers menu - this delivers exactly that. While again on the skimpier side, I enjoyed a majority of the samples here, and now know which ones I'm not particularly fond of (for example, I would skip the wasabi artic clams, it's very strong and doesn't need the wasabi and would do better with a different flavor). Presentation is beautiful too Stir Fry Gizzards: my favorite dish had to be this spicy and sour gizzards. The gizzards were a tiny bit on the hard side for chewing, but I didn't mind too much as it was so flavorful. I think they're pretty generous with the gizzards, and the pickled beans as well. Flavors are strong and so yummy. Not for the non-adventurous eaters though. There's no gamey or weird taste (to me, anyway), but textually, might not be everyone's cup of tea. I'd get this again :D Stir Fry Green Pepper Beef: the flavors are similar to the gizzards, but also even spicier. This was such a hit with the party! Too little beef though :(

    Maos braised pork
    Mark E.

    TLDR: super cool, modern, fast service, good variety of food Went with a group of 3 for a Friday night out. There was plenty of seating and we were all quickly seated. The restaurant is clean, modern, with really cool art pieces all over the restaurant. During the order process, we ordered mao braised pork (sweet), and I ordered stir fried chicken with Szechuan peppers. I will note that when the waiter asked if we wanted salted or sweet maos braised pork he told our group of friends (who speak Chinese) that "white people prefer the sweet version"... I will say he was not wrong! Maos braised pork: sweet, seasoned well, could eat the whole bowl if I could. Stir fried chicken with Szechuan peppercorns: it was crispy and spicy as anyone would want. This unfortunately was not my favorite restaurant take on one of my favorite dishes. The stir fried chicken and peppercorns felt more greasy than I am used to having. Overall, I would go again but I would certainly try the other great things on the menu if I was around !

    Top down: 1. Steamed egg & minced beef; 2. mao's braised beef ; 3. mapo tofu (spicy!); 4. hunan style stir fried beef (spicy!)

    3 stars only because I don't really think this place is for someone who doesn't enjoy spicy food that much! If you love spicy food, this place is for you! The menu has so many spicy options, it was actually a bit hard to find non-spicy dishes for someone who doesn't eat spicy. My friends (who love spicy food) and I came here for dinner and they ordered a few spicy dishes (Mapo Tofu, Stir fried beef) while I got 2 non-spicy dishes. They kept commenting on how good the spicy dishes were. Very comfortable seating booths! Spacious for 3 people. I had Mao's Braised Pork and Steamed Egg with Beef which I thought was okay. The pork seemed much more fatty than I expected.

    Downtown Flushing is chock full of Sichuan places now so the competition is fierce. Young & Rich tries to distinguish itself from the other establishments in its trendy decor rather than playing into the more classical Chinese decor but I think it works. Food here is really good IMO. The pig ears with shredded cucumbers were a great way to start the meal and the contrast in textures was great. Stir fried cauliflower was also well seasoned and cooked to perfection, highly recommended. The chili chicken was also perfect - hot, crispy with just the right seasoning and mala numbing spices. Portion sizes are a tad small but prices are reasonable. Location is a bit off the main track but still worth stopping by. Thumbs up.

    Free apps - peanuts & seasoned kelp

    4.5 stars! Came on my boyfriend's recommendation since he had it once before & the food did not disappoint. We ordered the braised pork belly & buns, a hunan style stir fried beef (forgot the name, but it's something like smoke-style fried beef), & the tomato and spare ribs soup. They also give a small app of seasoned kelp and peanuts while waiting for the food. Portions here are enormous, and good for a party of 3-4. The tomato & spare rib soup was so flavorful and tasty! It comes with corn, tomato, mushroom, & spare ribs. There's almost a bit of a ketchup taste to it, but not in an overwhelming way by any means. We ordered the beef at mild spicy (2 pepper signs instead of the original 4) & it already packed quite a punch. The beef was perfectly cooked, seasoned, & the dish was well balanced. Braised pork belly was also delicious, but definitely needed the buns to help balance out the salt. Overall, definitely a great restaurant for those who can handle & love spice, but there are great non-spicy options as well. Restaurant is spacious & staff are quick and efficient. Definitely will be back!

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

    Ambiance (5/5): A no frills Chinese diner. The tables are a little tight and homey…read more Service (5/5): Our waiter was awesome. It helps that we speak the language that we got a little more comedic interaction with him! He was a hoot and was helpful in providing us advice on the # of dishes and what to get. I'd say everything is authentic to the Shanghainese cuisine so I'm a little biased that I loved every dish! A fish dish was suggested but we opted for our usual favorites: Scallion Pancake -made fresh as you can tell from the crunch Soup dumplings - super fresh, delicious inside, plenty of soup, perfect ratio of skin to meat Chow Fun - classic, look at the heaping amount of beef portioned on top!! Beef pepper steak - chunks were very tender and full of flavor Pork buns - a lovely crunch on the bottom of the bun, soft bread and tons of flavor Shrimp with broccoli - large pieces of shrimp (I didn't try it so I'm not sure on the taste)

    Came here for my brother's birthday. At first it seemed nice, they put out a sign for him and we…read moregot a nice long table for my family. Then the server Bill, started acting like a used car salesman. He said he would give us a sake cause it was his birthday, but didn't tell us we were going to get charged for it. Also before my brother got there, he said that since it was his birthday, he would bring out a "banana boat" which was just 5 scoops of ice cream and some cut up banana. When we got the bill he not only charged us for both, but that banana boat was $30! When we asked about it, he argued with us saying that he didn't tell us the price of every single thing that we bought... very rude. We also tried to order two orders of regular soup dumplings and two orders of the truffle. He kept rushing our order, and then tried to change our order to four orders of the truffle. We weren't sure if we would like it yet, and kept pushing back but he wouldn't take no for an answer (that being said the truffle was good, but I'm definitely a purist and preferred the regular soup dumplings). We also ordered the kau fu but it was not good, and tasted too much of five spice. The cha cha mien was fine, but a bit small and a little bland. The rice cakes were good, but the rice cakes were not al dente enough for me. We also got the fried rice, which was fine, but nothing to write home about. Finally we got a fried tofu dish which was good and had a lot of tofu in it. Overall, this server ruined our experience. The food is fine, but there are other Shanghainese restaurants in the area and would visit those over this place.
