“Yummy yum food one of my facorite“

“I've been here 3 times. Once with co-workers, a friend and then family. Each time was a different experience - all positive. I may have even reviewed this sometime ago. My first time coming here I came with co-workers and it being my first time they recommended certain dishes which I really loved. Soup dumplings, and rice noodles. My second visit was with a good friend of mine and we chose completely different dishes like the Peking Duck and spicy garlic ribs and a veggie fried rice. Phenomenal. My third visit I came with family. I pretty much repeated the same meal that I had with my friend but we also ate the sesame chicken, duck buns, more soup dumplings and spicy noodles. This restaurant does not disappoint. Soup dumplings are free if you order over a certain amount and it's not even a high amount, the wait time is minimal and the food is just so good. My son is a huge fan. Will be coming here a 4th time for sure!“

“Delicious food.Best service.Thank you.“

“Perfect soup dumplings, other dishes tasty as well, great service! Highly recommend.“

“I have eaten there many times and have always been happy with the food. The staff is very helpful and the restaurant is very relaxing .“

“This is one of my favourite restaurants in Flushing! (which is saying a lot) I probably come by at least once a month if not more frequently.

They can be a bit busy during peak lunch/dinner hours on weekdays, but service/turnover is quick and they are efficient with using the shared long table in the centre of the restaurant, so I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes to be seated.

I usually get one of the guo qiao rice noodle (過橋米線) options - obviously that’s their speciality; my favourites are the fatty beef 肥牛過橋米線 and the “xiu cai” 秀才過橋米線.

Each order comes a bunch of ingredients - meat(s) and small plates of side toppings - separately from broth and the rice noodles. Some orders on other tables had the dishes plated on a small wooden (eponymous) bridge or a staircase, which looked super cool!

After they bring all the food to your table, the waitress puts in all the ingredients, meat, and noodles in the broth in front of you and mixes. This is traditionally part of the guoqiao rice noodles experience, and I guess this is also good if you like taking aesthetic food spread photos, because the final product doesn't really showcase all the yummy toppings.

Anyway, it’s always super delicious. The broth is really rich and smelled wonderful; not too salty or oily, and it was nice to sip on each bite with the noodles and at the end of the meal as well.

Fatty beef was super delicious - very thinly sliced, tender, juicy, and its flavour cooking in the soup really made the broth just that extra bit savoury. The other cuts of meat (e.g. sliced pork, fish) are all pretty good, but nothing spectacular.

The toppings are also really solid. The 香酥 (I have no idea what this is called in English but the crispy/fried brown thing) was surprisingly tasty; not too oily or heavy and paired really nicely with the broth. I also like the tofu skin, wish they would have given more.

Overall a very great meal and very filling - portion sizes are already pretty big, and I think you can ask for more noodles for free (although I’ve never done so). Price point is super affordable, and for such a nice sit-down place in Flushing I think it's more than worth every dollar.“

“On a chilly winter day, Ji Bei Chuan is the perfect spot for hot, delicious soup rice noodles! Ji Bei Chuan offers some of the best fish maw soup, and they definitely don’t skimp on the fish maw, vegetables, and other ingredients.

The Fish Maw Soup Rice Noodles is a great example of the restaurant’s decent quality in food preparation. The noodle soup is filled with great portions of ingredients and a hot, hearty soup that actually tastes of fish maw. Their Fish Soup Rice Noodles also doesn’t disappoint. The soup is made with chicken and pork bone, and it goes really well with the abundance of vegetables and fish slices!

Overall, I’m eager to try out their other soup noodles on my next visit as well as their popular mixed noodles!“

“Big portions (for me), I was about 70% full and I found more noodles and beef at the bottom. The broth was pretty delicious. I got the classic spicy beef noodle with the spicy level toned down. They were very generous with the amount of beef, there was also crispy peanuts.“

“Food was great. But make sure to order non spicy if you normally do mild or medium. Their mild tasted like hot to me… affordable price with limited seating. But the rice noodles were amazing. Had to take one star off because of the extreme heat. I was sweating by simply sitting there and eating the noodles :(“

“The store's handmade ramen is the most famous. Its beef noodles are very good and is everyone's first choice. The peanut butter spicy oil noodles are also very tasty and are our second choice. The scallion pancakes are also fried very crispy. Their soy sauce is Sweet soy sauce. General Tso's chicken is a favorite choice for children. The food is served quickly and the service is good at a reasonable price. Will come back again.“

My favorite spot to get boiled dumplings in Elmhurst! I’m a bit biased - I grew up in this neighborhood, so Lao Bei Fang is very nostalgic to me. When you see the bright red awning, you know you’re at the right spot. The pork and leek boiled dumplings here are very hearty, meaty, and super juicy. They’re thicker-skinned dumplings which are definitely going to leave you full. Came here last week with my husband for a fast, casual experience with cafeteria-style seating and good dumplings. A box will fill you up quick in this no-frills restaurant. Don’t forget to load up on the chili oil, soy sauce, and hot sauce!

2024 pricing-
? $3 for (4) pork & leek fried dumplings
? $6 for (8) pork & leek boiled dumplings

Still cash only & we noticed that the prices for the dumplings haven't increased for a couple of years now! My fiance and I ordered the #1 Pork & Leek Fried Dumpling (8 pieces, $4.25), #2 Pork & Leek Boiled Dumplings (8 pieces, $4.25), and #44 Scallion Pancakes w/ Beef ($4.50). Had a pretty mediocre meal at Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House last night though. The fried dumplings were much too charred and dry, compared to the previous times we've had meals here. The scallion pancake was not appetizing at all, being too thick and flavorless. The limp lettuce and the 2 thin beef circles didn't go well together either. At least the Pork & Leek Boiled Dumplings were still good - next time we'll just stick with multiples of that dish!

Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House is always a good comfort food stop, if you're in the mood for some delicious greasy foods. My boyfriend and I came here after a day of rock climbing and it really hit the spot. We ordered the #1 Pork & Leek Fried Dumpling (8 pieces, $4.25), #2 Pork & Leek Boiled Dumplings (8 pieces, $4.25), and #28 All-in-one House Special Hand-Pulled Noodle Soup ($8.75). Filling, good portions, and reasonably priced. Street parking could be a bit tricky, but is available (metered and free). Cash only, and they call your number when your order is ready!“

“Great Uyghur food (similar to Uzbek/Georgian with a hint of Chinese thrown in). Highly recommend the laghman and pearl noodles (very chewy and flavorful). Lamb kebabs were perfect. Big plate chicken was spicy and tender, with more hand pull noodles dumped on top. Samsas were juicy and crispy. A great dish was the cumin mushrooms, highly recommend. Shout out to being open on Thanksgiving.“

“Good is good, place is clean & service is good“

“A quaint and locals-favorite Thai restaurant serving prime dishes. We enjoyed every single dish that was brought to our table. The portions are plenty to share around the table: we had a party of four and ordered 2 entrees, 3 appetizers and a dessert.
The Branzino is the highlight of our dinner, which came with a grand presentation. Fish tasted clean and a hint of sweetness—delectable. We also recommend the Veggie Curry Puff, a savory and flaky goodness. As for dessert, we opted for their second best, Banana Pudding with Ice Cream since they were out of Mango Sticky Rice. Still a great choice!
Highly recommend to bring a few friends and family here :)“

“Great dining experience. Superb cuisine!!“

“Ordered for delivery.

The beef noodle soup with seafood was excellent. Beef was savory and cooked properly. Rating 8/10

They use the same noodles in everything and the noodles are great. They are long, soft and chewy.

The jjajang sauce was very flavorful and mixed well with the noodles. Rating 8/10

The cream fried shrimp reminds me of walnut shrimp from Chinese restaurants. Shrimps are big. The frying is good. The sauce taste like mayo, honey and a bit of mustard. 8/10“

“I went in baro 1376 on Wednesday night because of my friend recommendation and it was worth it. Especially the girl was so friendly, pretty and her hospitality was very impressive. Definitely a 10/10 best chicken momo and thakali set and the service was the best. ??“

“I was blown away by the Taiwanese Braised pork over rice at TiHu The Noodle House. Their sauce was rich and bursting with flavor, perfectly complementing the tender pork and rice texture. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the service is attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Taiwanese cuisine!“

“My brother and I came here for steamy, wonton noodle soup on a cold evening in Flushing. At a 6:40 pm arrival, the staff was kind enough to take our order despite having to close 20 minutes later. We both ordered the three topping noodle soups: he had egg noodles and beef tendon while I had flat rice noodles and beef stew. We had wontons and fish balls in both of our soups as well.

I’m not embellishing when I say this—the food was spectacular. Broth was clean and comforting, beef was tender and flavorful, the wontons were bigger (and better) than expected, and the fish balls went really well with the soup. You could also spice it up with condiments too. For about $13, Maxi’s offers a superb deal. That’s right. They set the bar high.

Tl;dr: Maxi’s Noodle’s has some of the best wonton noodle soups you can get at an affordable price from a staff with incredible hospitality. With their small yet cozy interior, this place is perfect for cold, fall/winter nights. Go visit ‘em!“

“Lunch special is great! Appetiser and main for $12.95, I’d recommend the chicken dumplings and the drunken noodles, I asked for a little spice and they did it perfectly. The service was amazing, my water cup never got below half full. Everyone was so kind and lovely to talk to, I will definitely be coming here again!“

“Good Ramen 🍜 and environment“

“Always enjoy coming here! Having lived in china for several years this place really hits the spot when I get that craving. The Yunnan Spicy Pork is quite a treat. And spicy dishes are spicy! No watering down here. I’ve yet to try the Peking duck they have but will definitely bring more friends.“

“Great food. Large portions!“

“This place was delicious. The noodles were the perfect amount of chewy. The flavors were perfect. The dumblings we're so flavorful you didn't need dipping sauce. We got noodles in chili sauce and beef brisket noodles. Both were delicious, the meat was so tender in the beef brisket. I did wish the noodles in chili oil was a little spicer. But maybe I look to white for the full spice version, 🤣. The person who runs the place and takes your order is so kind. She was able to negotiate us a place to sit. It was busy when we got there, only a few tables in total. Service was quick, and this place is busy. Totally worth it. This place is definitely a gem and I am sure we will be back.“

“Good place for various dim sum dishes, including fried buns and dumplings. They also had a promotion going on for free Peking duck buns with purchase, which were really flavorful. We went when it opened, so there wasn’t much of a crowd. Cash only.“

“This place is awesome! We get takeout here often but the food definitely tastes better here. However, the items are always well packed and always arrive impressively piping hot. It never disappoints.

Their food is delicious and the service is friendly. I love that the silverware and napkins are available table side.

They give you a generous portion of kimchi and don't skimp on the refills. Their kimchi is definitely one of my favorites. I'd also like to note that they include a good portion with your meal - even if you're ordering takeout.

I don't think you could go wrong with w any of their noodle dishes, but definitely try their seafood pancake. It's delicious!

This place is super busy on Saturdays so plan accordingly. Clean and spacious. I wish that they were open on Sundays.“

“Finally I tried this place, always been curious ever since last year. I ordered fried rice, seaweed egg soup, shredded beef with pepper and fried chicken cutlet. The seaweed egg soup just a lil bit too salty but other than that its really good. I think the best.

Fried chicken cutlet was good, then the shreded beef, how can I say. I like the taste, but I was expecting they cook it lil bit longer, like more burnt/browniesh as that what I always remember about shredded beeef dish from any taiwanese restaurant.

Fried rice was okay. I cant complaint.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“I have come here many times after badminton in NYBC.
it's always great and delicious.
Love the roujiamo here，especially in fall and winter. Please come and try！

Kid-friendliness: A restroom inside.“

“By far the best pasta! Great holiday gifts as well. Highly recommend!“

“fast to order, simple menu, no fuss, a great spot for a quick bite at reasonable price! Got the mini pork soup dumplings (8pc), crab soup dumplings (6pc) and pan fried pork and shrimp dumplings, taste good and very standard. Everything comes small, very cute and bite-sized.“

“Wonderful hidden gem. Food was amazing. Combination of classic old world with new world flare. Entire staff worked as a team. Presentation was lovely as well. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely experience.“

“I’m a fan of this corner cafe. It’s right in the heart of Little Thailand and they have sweet and savory dishes to try. I had Thai hotpot for the first time here and it was much different than the hotpot I’m used to eating, but I liked it. It was much more intense in flavor with more notes of acidity. They also have an amazing duck noodle soup and the boat noodles that I’d recommend. The dessert option is great too, I didn’t know what to expect from the Rooty Tooty but it was perfectly sweet. The staff here were super nice as well, we definitely felt welcomed here!“

“The interior is on the plain side, but it is clean. We placed a to-go order on the kiosk. It seems that a lot of their business is to-go. We ordered the beef noodle soup and the zha jiang mian. The beef noodle soup was savory and tasty, but rather salty. We thought the zha jiang mian was a little bland and just okay. Our order also came with some small containers of peanuts and pickled vegetables, which was a nice surprise. Overall, the food was decent, but I wouldn’t come here often as each noodle dish came out to an average of $16.“

“Best Momos in town..must try…👍🏻👍🏻“

“This place has been around in Flushing for a while, and their rice noodles are still pretty good. That said, the broth could be richer—it used to have a deeper flavor, but now it feels a bit lighter and could probably be cooked a little longer. They recently launched some set meals, and for two people it came out to just over $50.“

“Their fried rice, pad-see-ew, Thia iced tea“

“This is not Deoksugung Palace, but has been changed to a raw fish restaurant. We went to Wassada Hoepocha for lunch, and the two of us ordered a large portion of assorted raw fish and ate a lot. If you go to other places, they serve a lot of sukidashi, but the sashimi is served in 4 pieces of each type on top of something like a stone, and they use dry ice to create an optical illusion, but here, the sukidashi is served simply, but the sashimi is really steamed and served in abundance. The salmon is eaten with red pepper paste and wasabi sauce, the tuna is wrapped in seaweed and dipped in oil sauce, and the flounder is eaten with ssam sauce, so it's really delicious. The sashimi was so plentiful and fresh that I thanked the chef and he really impressed me. The owner served me very kindly, so I enjoyed my meal. Oh, and after you finish eating all the raw fish, spicy spicy spicy stew is served in an earthen pot, so make sure to save some. There is a $20 difference between the medium size and the large size, so I ordered a large size to try to eat as much raw fish as I could, but I ended up getting so full that I ended up packing the rest. This is enough for two people to eat together. I think I will eat it generously. Sea Story was $200 for 4 people a few years ago, but it seems to have gone up now. This is a place where 4 people can fill their stomachs with sashimi for half the price. I highly recommend it to those who are serious about sukidashi.“

“Very nice place. The wait for food is a bit long, but it is worth it. I got the pork cutlet which came with a soup. The pork cutlet was phenomenal, it was tender and juicy inside with a perfectly crispy shell. The pork itself wasn’t that flavorful but it came with a creamy sauce that tasted vaguely of bbq. The soup it came with was very light and not overwhelming with a taste of miso soup. Everything was warm and fresh when it arrived. Overall, the experience was very good. Would recommend! :)“

“Stumbled upon this Chinese restaurant while I was leaving JFK airport. Had a hankering for noodles and the beef noodle HIT the spot 🔥 the beef was so tender and perfectly seasoned, especially since the dish is only $8 (you won’t be able to find a cheaper or tastier beef noodle in all of nyc). Got a congee and sesame pancake on the side. All dishes were incredible

10/10 would recommend!“

“Friendly staff. Special price on Mondays for mazesoba dishes. The bao served like tacos are absolutely delicious.“

“Just ate here for the first time last night - a friend highly recommended it. The food was amazing - we had two poke bowls, chicken teriyaki, vegetable fried rice, shumai, Chicken negimaki - everything delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I followed an online recommendation and made a trip for the bone broth with rice. I got the mild spicy and I felt like it needed more salt. Quick and friendly service on a Tuesday afternoon. Dont think it’s worth a trek but I was quite content with my meal.“

“Excellent food excellent service! Everything was so fresh and delicious.“

“Awesome food is a great location.“

“The food is absolutely delicious and for such cheap prices compared to other places, it is so worth it. They have some background music playing, not the best quality but makes the experience much better. At first when I went in there was like a projector shining and a heater, but all I had to do was just ask them to turn the heater facing up and they also let us move tables. The overall food and experience is amazing, and I definitely would come here again.“

“Its a small place ive only ordered for take out but they do have some tables. The food is really good and fresh! My wife loves the seafood tom yum & the chicken satay. I got the pork belly pad thai and it was amazing, they are generous with the protein. I'd def recommend it.“

“Meats are great but they have hands down the best Nengmyun. I crave this every summer and literally come eat this every chance I get because they dont deliver. Its that serious. They cook on cystal pan which is quite different than other places and the atmosphere is mediocre but if you know what youre going there for in regards to food then 10/10.“
