  1. This restaurant has valet parking. You just need to tip the guy $3. There's a big sign saying how much you need to tip. I came here for a family style dinner. The food is pretty good. I liked it. It's your standard Cantonese cuisine. There wasn't a bad dish out of all the dishes we ordered. I like the tea that they serve too. Some of the dishes we had were:

    – Appetizers with jelly fish, cucumber, and more
    – Conch and snow pea with stuffed shrimp fried tofu
    – House special spare rib
    – House special chicken
    – Steamed fish
    – Water spinach
    – Pea shoot
    – Fried rice
    – Boiled fresh shrimp
    – Noodles

    These dishes are pretty much the common ones. The meal had a mix of seafood, meats, vegetables, rice, and noodles, which makes up a good family style dinner.

  2. no more dimsum, thank goodness because they sucked at it! but having family dinner here is alright. the food is good, wide variety, lobster sticky rice special (we always order this every single visit) and they have a downstairs for a more private event. the service of course is lacking. they don't have enough servers here to accommodate but they try. sometimes it gets overwhelming for them when random families come in for dinner and they least expect it.

    they also have a small private parking lot in the back which you have to pay "tips" to the guy for watching your car or "valeting" it and they have an extrance from the parking lot to the restaurant which is good.

  3. Ok food but awful awful service.

    We came on a rainy day, this place had maybe 4 tables in total. We ordered the mushroom beef and the seafood tofu casserole. Both tasted ok. But not the best or the most memorable. The beef portion was small for the price.

    The waiter came several times trying to take our plates when we were trying to still finish our food. But before they did that they did not once check how we were doing. And they also delivered the bill before we asked for it. What the heck for real? They were not busy anyway. And we barely stayed there for more than 30 mins

    Awful of them trying to rush the customers out on such a slow night. Will never return to this one again

  4. Look no further for fresh seafood and Cantonese style Chinese cuisine. The service needs retraining … or a hot face towel to wake them up, but the food is delicious.

    The clams with black bean sauce and steamed whole "live" fish with ginger and scallions were expertly prepared, neither undercooked nor overcooked by more than 30 seconds in each direction, a feat not often seen in other places. A soup of fish maw and crab meat was delicious as well. Their house special chicken dish deserves a special trip out to Flushing all on its own.

    The owner and manager of the restaurant came to wait on us personally, softening the blow of the otherwise untrained staff.

  5. I've been to this restaurant two times and the food is pretty good. This is your traditional Cantonese cuisine, served in family style. I've tried their House Special Chicken, Water Spinach with Preserved Egg, Shrimp with this creamy sauce and broccoli, Stir Fried Pineapple Pork, and Steamed Crab with Glutinous Rice. I recommend all these dishes! The only minor thing was that the steamed crab was tasteless..the rice was good though.

    Now the reason why I give them 3 stars is because I really care about service and their service was totally lacking. I know it gets busy, but I expect everyone to still be nice and attentive. So first off, my aunt called the restaurant way before to make the reservation at 8 PM for a party of 12. On the day of the reservation, my mom arrives at 7:15 and tells the host that she's here for the reservation, and guess what? The lady tells her that we don't have a reservation at all when we clearly did make one. Thank God my mom went early or else we would've had to WAIT to be seated EVEN IF WE DID MAKE A RESERVATION. Totally ridiculous. The table that they gave us "last minute" was right next to the window too and it was super cold. When my aunt arrived she spoke with the lady and told her that we had a reservation and we would like the table closer to the back where it is warmer for the elders, and she didn't allow us to move and didn't seem friendly at all about it. She said that they'll hold the other lady accountable that took our reservation, but that does NOT help our situation AT ALL. You saying that doesn't do anything nor does it make us feel any better.

    Throughout the whole dinner, I was freezing cold, and the service was slow. We had like one good server that helped us, but everyone else was not good. For example, when my aunt asked for an extra teacup, the man was walking away shaking his head like he was disappointed or mad..excuse me?? Did we do anything to you? We simply asked for a cup. Just horrible.

    So this is why I will no longer come again. I can get great Cantonese food somewhere else in the area that will ACTUALLY care about their customers and treat them well.

  6. Great restaurant in Flushing. Close by to the 7 train and 2 blocks from main street. The service here is great. Attentive, friendly, and they even know you by name after only 2 visits. I've been here for dim sum and dinner and both have been a great meal.

    Fan of the dimsum here with roving carts. There noodle dishes singapore mei fun is a standout. For dinner i loved their chicken and cashews, snow pea shoots in garlic, and their cantonese lobster.

    Fast take out service as well. Fan of the establishment and i'll be definitely back.

  7. This is our go-to place for family events in Queens. It's well priced with good quality food.
    They have a chicken they are famous for -it's about $13, I think it's a little too oily, but all the guys in my family love it.
    My absolute favorite is the fried fillet grouper -the fish is unbelievably tender, always steaming hot when I bite into it, fried fresh, but the best part is the garlic/cilantro toppings it comes with.
    My other favorite dish is the steamed fish. I think it was a black bass -it's still live in the tanks you can see in the back when you come into the restaurant. With ginger soy sauce and cilantro, it's light but seasoned perfectly. The fish really shine
    We also got the sauteed ginger scallion lobster. We got 2 for $48. The lobsters were big, meaty and succulent.
    The surprise of the night was the crispy bean curd. At most places, by the time you get the tofu, the bottom and sides are already soft. But the tofu here was amazingly crispy throughout. And super hot inside, I think I burned my tongue a little.
    Anyway, very solid, good quality, flavorful food at good prices.
    The only minus is the "valet" in the back, now they have a new sign that says "tips $3 and up"

  8. Service was good in the past but now it's absolutely horrible.  Maybe it's because they aren't use to the large crowds but as a restaurant they need to expect it.  

    Waited a long time for food on a Saturday night.  Messed up on our order and didn't even apologize.  We were celebrating my mothers birthday and it didn't make a difference if we knew someone who worked there.  

    Tables we're put together too close making everything a right squeeze.  

    And to top it off…took forever to get someone to give us the bill to leave.

    I'll have to think twice coming back here next time
