“Visited Kirin in Queensborough in Oct 2026. It's been many years since we last came here but the food is still pretty good. Actually, the dim sum prices are pretty good compared with some other restaurants these days. The interior of the main dining area is a bit understated (although the entrance foyer area is a bit more elegant). For a weekday, it seemed kinda busy (filled mainly with other Asian diners) but not completely full. Service was a bit hit and miss depending on how busy they were but the food came out rather quickly. The Deep Fried Prawn, Pork, and Chinese Mushroom Wrapped in Taro Root Paste ($9.95) was the first dish to appear. I found the exterior had the requisite fluffy and airy texture but the taro shell was a bit harder/firmer than I'm accustomed to. Inside, the filling was pretty good. Next up was the Steamed Prawn and Sakura Pork Dumpling topped with Flying Fish Roe ($9.95). These siu mai were quite large and went well with the xo sauce they provided. The Steamed Bbq Pork Buns ($9.25) had a soft bun that encased the not-too-sweet bbq pork filling. From the non-dim sum menu, we got the Beef Cubes and Eggplant Sautéed in Black Pepper and Basil ($20.75). While the beef wasn't supremely tender like we've had in some other places, the flavours were good. Last to arrive was the Deep Fried Minced Fish Bean Curd Rice Roll ($10.75). The bean curd skin was lightly crispy. Wish these were cut slightly smaller to make them easier to eat. Plenty of parking available and they have a little garden right outside.”
