Located in the new mall in the heart of flushing queens with all your favorites from Asia housed in one place. Parking is awful and there is a lot located in the basement. Pricey but who cares when it's stressful on the streets. The food and service is as perfect. The seafood rice was alright, the orange beef was a 10/10. And of course the duck was perfect. Definitely do the whole duck where you get it done 3 ways for the table. Cheers

They gave us broad beans, fried wontons and seaweed for apps. When I asked for seconds they brought another over. I ordered myself a lychee drink. Service wasn't the greatest. Even though there wasn't enough room they were a bit brusque and rude imho bringing things and moving things on our table. Even when heading to the restroom the rest of the wait staff were not pleasant and didn't move while standing in the narrow walkway to the restrooms. The place wasn't cheap but we were able to use my son's student id to get a 10% discount at least.

We walked in with no reservation on a Sunday evening - and the place was clearly quite full, but we were given a table right away. I had the pork soup dumplings and noodles with scallops and shrimp. Both were exceptional. My friend is vegan and was able to order rice and they had a mushroom stir-fry on special - which was so delightfully flavorful. I also really loved the pickled veggies they give at the start of the meal. The concept of ordering on iPads was interesting - I appreciated the ability to order at our own pace, but it did make it difficult to ask for clarification on certain things. Overall, delicious experience!

Would want to come again to with more so we can try a variety of other dishes. We definitely ordered way too much for two ppl this time lol Took a star off because of price.

Luckily, there was only a short wait for our party of two at around 12pm...but I suspect the wait can be much longer later in the afternoon or during peak dinner times. Once your number is called, you go up some stairs to the eating/tabled area. There are tables and chairs for 2, 4 and more guests throughout the large space. The pace of the restaurant is very fast...as soon as you are seated, you are given tea and your waiter comes over right away to take any order you are ready to give. Its helpful to ask for a menu while you are waiting for a table so you know what to order when asked. We had some soup dumplings as well as a (large) soup. Everything was very good and out in about 15 minutes...very fast. The soup dumplings were great...but as expected are filled with piping hot broth so be careful when eating. They have some other appetizers and dishes available. There are also some drink options including cold teas, soft drinks and beer. Overall a great experience...despite visiting on a busy Saturday, we were in and out in about 40-45 minutes. Street parking can be tough in the area but there are a few garages around...one of the more reasonable options is the garage at the Skyview shops which currently charge about $6 for up to three (3) hours and is a short 5 minute walk away.

Only warning is that they don't seem to have veggies - they were out of nearly all veggie options when we went at 11:30am. See pics for specific dish recs!

There was a few pull-down screens but that did nothing to muffle their voices and boisterous behavior. Just awful! It could've been a lovely meal for our group but for the shared room. We may have been better off not closes in with that group --sound could've travelled outside our shared room. Not likely to go again. Very expensive lesson to learn about what is considered a "private" room.

Would you like to be transported back in time to ancient china?…read more How about just testing your spice tolerance to see if you can hang with the best? Well, if you want all of that, PLUS hot pot, look no further - this is the place to be! There is a reason this is one of the highest recommend spots to visit when you're in Flushing. First off, entrance? SO UNASSUMING. It's like, the tiniest door, with no real obvious signage. Once you go through, you basically feel like you're in one of the ancient alleys of China - decor is 1000% great. We had a larger party of 7, and they were luckily able to accommodate us since we lined up a few minutes before opening on a Friday. We actually got IMO the best seats in the house - towards the back, elevated up on some steps, a mini pavilion essentially. But enough about the decor.. how was the food? Well.. GREAT! And honestly, for NYC prices, not too expensive (but a bit pricy for flushing I guess). The quality was top notch (highly recommend trying the mala quail eggs) and the spice of the broth was GREAT! We went with medium since our server (amazing btw, thank you Sean / Shawn / Shaun??) said that he can't even go near hot, it burns his eyes. Medium was just perfect - felt great eating it with some sweats, regretted it the day after, which means I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Meats were good quality, veggies were yummy. I wish the shrimp paste had more in terms of quantity, we barely had seven bites for each of us, but it was really good. Also, pro tip, probably don't order Napa Cabbage, a lot of their other dishes will sit on top of a whole leaf, so you'll probably get enough from that unless you want to consume half a head. Sauce bar is $2 a person - which might be shocking for some to know they charge it, but it's pretty much the norm at a higher end hot pot place in big cities. At least they don't charge $6-$8 like some places and only throw in a few apps/desserts to try to justify it. Overall, really loved this place, and would definitely go back.

First of all, every table gets a complimentary order of pork xiao long bao, which I have never seen any restaurant do before. The XLB had the perfect delicate wrapper with flavorful soup and juicy meat inside. We also tried the sheng jian bao, which are crispy pork buns. These were so good and I think I liked them even more than the XLB. The garden soup dumplings were a fun variety with different flavors. We also had the pan fried pork and chive dumplings, which were nicely crispy and very satisfying. Overall, an amazing spot and everything we ordered was delicious. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend!

We almost always order the fried flounder -- it's something we usually don't make at home, and they do it well. This time we also tried their combination plate with double legs and one additional meat over rice. We picked the roasted pork belly. What I liked about the roasted pork belly was that it had good portions of meat and fat, not just the fatty scraps that some restaurants serve. The portion was huge, delicious, and only $14.99. Service is always pretty friendly even when they are busy. This was also our first time trying the preserved egg and lean pork congee. It was only okay for me because the pork didn't taste very fresh. It's a small restaurant and the seating is just okay, but we'll still come back every now and then to grab their lunch special.

It's very spicy with the signature Sichuan peppercorn, so if you're not into numb spicy, considered yourselves warned. We specifically loved the pig trotters. I've never had them like that before anywhere, so it's definitely a chefs special. They were made crispy on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. Highly recommend. All the other dishes were also fantastic. Portions are also great, we ended up taking lots home. They gave us free dessert jellies which is also a classic Sichuan dessert; they also had a deal where you get free drinks if you order a certain amount of food, so we got two free drinks. I would have given a five star if not for the super long wait. Granted we did go for Christmas Day dinner. We saw them having to turn away lots of customers. They are super popular. Main issue is there isn't a number system, so getting a table felt a bit random; we considered ourselves lucky. Our servers were very friendly and nice. They told us it would be a bit of a wait, but this was the longest I've ever waited for food: 45 min before the first dish was served. We ordered 5 dishes with rice (forgot to take pictures of two of them). I wasn't told one of the dishes I ordered wasn't available until 30 min after I placed my order. But when the food did come, they all can't together so we didn't have to keep waiting. The servers were also attentive after despite how busy and clearly overwhelmed they were, which was really nice. In conclusion, great food with good portions for spice lovers. Very nice servers and try not to go on Christmas Day since it can get really busy.

The environment is clean, and staff was welcoming when I dined here on a Friday evening with other Yelp Elites. The restaurant filled up with people very quickly. I cannot remember having better Northeastern Chinese food anywhere. The food came with an amazing presentation, taste, freshness and quality. I am a huge fan of the Cumin Flounder, which is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It is the best flounder that I have ever tasted in my life! The Beef Tenderloin in Brown Sauce is to die for. I loved the Minted Salted Egg Yolk and Sliced Pumpkin so much that I will come back here to order it for Thanksgiving dinner. If you can handle the spice, go for the Fried Squid Head with Spicy Peppery Sauce. It was the table favorite because most of us prefer the head or tentacles of calamari to the rings. The Molten Sugar-Crusted Yams and Dates were phenomenal. It came with a bowl of water on the side to remove stickiness from the serving spoon between helpings. We also feasted on the Sautéed Shredded Beef with Spicy Pepper, Cumin Lamb, Sliced Potatoes with Truffles and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The pickled salad certainly tickled my fancy. TIP: Eat everything with chopsticks for portion control. Thank you Andie for putting this all together, and the birthday cake that Mike bought for you was a decadent surprise because it was so chocolatey and moist.
