“Antidote Restaurant totally nails the Chinese food scene! The vibes are cool – a mix of old-school and modern. The menu's like a journey through China, and everything tastes spot-on. The staff is friendly and knows their stuff, making the whole experience chill and tasty. Whether you're into casual eats or something fancier, Antidote is your go-to for legit Chinese grub.“

“Service was much faster than I expected, but the food was even better. The pickled okra was delightful, just the right amount of crunch with plenty of garlic, chili's, and green onion. The changing chicken was dry fried with tons of chilies that dish is all protein, no brakes. Save room for the rice wine soup. I know it sounds odd, but was a great end to the meal. Cocktails are also great, but be sure to slow down and enjoy them!“

“I will rate this place somewhere between three and four. The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff were courteous and friendly, well deserved 5-star rating. The food is a hit and miss. You need to know what to order in this place, otherwise, the dining experience could be unpleasant to your palates. The ribs in the cage looked fun but not impressive while eating them. The bathrooms were super unpleasant. It is a publicly shared bathroom and is poorly managed.Vegetarian options: There were not a lot of vegetable dishes here, but decent selections. Need to specify no meat for special dietary requirementsParking: The parking lot is expensive in the basement, and SUPER DIRTY AND SMELLY in the stairwells.“

“A true gem of Sichuan delights sending tingling sensations straight to your taste buds. A sultry and classy atmosphere perfect for a second date or surprise visit from your step-mom — the vibes here are top notch. Recommendations are the Ma Po Tofu (best in NYC) and Diced Chicken with Chili Pepper, both providing a one-way ticket to tingle town.“

“One of my favorite Sichuan spots in NY. It's pretty difficult to get a reservation, but they take walk ins and you can put your name down while walking around the area and you can even grab a drink at one of the many bars in the area while you wait. There's also a Martha's country bakery nearby. The restaurant itself has a minimalist decor. They have one long center bench community table that is honestly perfectly spacious and good for any size party. We tried a lot of different dishes from the menu. Some of our favorites were the Dan Dan noodles, Chungking spicy chicken, sautéed duck with ginger, and you HAVE to get the mustard greens fried rice. Absolutely phenomenal. This place is great for dates or small groups. Will definitely go back.“

“Beautiful interior design, cute booths, ample space despite the relatively small store footprint. Lunch sets were excellent! We ordered 2 lunch sets + an extra main which is just right for two people with large appetites. The double cooked pork and spicy chicken were exceptional - honestly a quality I’d expect in China. The eggplant dish was a bit too sweet (and I’m from an area that eats sweet) but cooked just right otherwise. Ingredient quality was excellent. Highly recommend going for lunch!“

“The boss is very nice. He is very particular about the selection of store managers. The fish tastes great. Sometimes there is no fish when I come here. This means the ingredients are fresh enough. I deserve the good business. I come here to eat when I don’t want to go to Flushing. Highly recommended.“

“First time trying their hotpot. Their soup base was very flavorful and smelled delicious. The food was also really fresh. The marinated meat was my favorite. My waitress kexin recommended me a lot of the dishes, and she was very knowledgeable of the menu. Amazing person! Definitely come back again.“

“Excellent decor, you can miss it from it's non descript exterior but once you walk through the door it opens up into a large space with fully stocked bar and a pleasing aesthetic. The beef tripe in chilli sauce is excellent and my favorite off the menu. They also give generous portions of both food and wine for a great price that doesn't break the bank.“

“I ordered delivery and wasn't sure what to expect, maybe it was another mediocre yet hyped-up restaurant? Would the food arrive soggy or tough? But I was SO impressed. I ordered the tea smoked duck, Chongqing chicken, and crispy eggplant and it was all incredible, up there in quality with higher end Sichuan restaurants in the NYC area that charge double and give half the portions. I can't wait to try out more from their menu, hopefully next time in person!“

“Came here on a Saturday for dinner without a reservation and the place is pretty spacious so we got seated right away. It's located kind of away from flushing proper so the restaurant itself is pretty big unlike some of the more cramped spots. The food was pretty good honestly, you can tell it's very genuine Szechuan style cooking. We had the spicy beef and string beans they were both so flavorful. I have never been so excited about any vegetable dishes but the beans were one of the favorite Chinese vegetable dishes ever. We also got spicy fish, the fish was fried first then put into spicy soup. The cooking style is amazing and everything was delicious. The spice they use are fresh and not too much for my taste. Our service though was a bit slow and I think at some point they forgot to make our fish and we had to ask multiple times before it finally came out. Would have been great if service was better but overall flavors are amazing and would definitely come again!“

“I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Not only is the food incredible, but the service is some of the best I've experienced in NYC. Matteo, one of the managers, went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. I eat out almost daily and this is absolutely the best meal I've had in NYC in 2024.“

“Came here on a whim after having a hard time deciding on a place to eat. Best decision ever as everything we ordered was delicious. The service here is great too, they train the staff here well. This spot is now a must visit whenever im in nyc. Go to orders are the Peking duck with the salt and pepper duck bones, preserved ham fried rice and szechuan string beans. Those three dishes are ? ? ?.“

“We had a WONDERFUL time at Mala Project this week. Our server, Kyle, was extremely helpful in recommending ‘must haves’ for our appetizers, dry pot and, of course, drinks. We planned for only a quick bite to eat, but the atmosphere was so welcoming, we ordered more drinks and hung out for a while. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“My first impression of this Hot Space restaurant is their staff is very friendly and willing to answer your questions. For a first time visitor, that's definitely helpful.When we ordered the food, the waitress patiently explained what are the menu and what are the dishes they are known for. She even suggested the spiciness, and warned us the extra ingredients might ruined the perfect flavor.The restaurant prepared the food in the kitchen to maybe 95% done, and then sent the grilled fish in a tray on a stove to our table. The server told us to wait a few minutes for the flavor to fully sink in.We got the strip bass with the golden combination. The fish was grilled just right. The skin was crispy and easily separated from the meat. The meat was at an excellent tenderness. Under the fish were the golden combination ingredients we ordered. They added ample spices to create the flavor and sauce to dip the fish into.After the meal, we overheard that the restaurant doesn't do takeout. I think they want their diners to enjoy their dishes at the best quality. Takeout orders simply can't do justice.“

“I really enjoyed the sour pickle fish and sweet and sour pork here. There’s also something for everyone, my mom’s vegetarian and we got the cauliflower dish for her and it was very flavorful. For dessert we topped it off with their bing feng and it was really refreshing. The service was also very fast and accommodating!“

“I have just sold my first-class mansion in Tomson. I can eat the private dishes here as I want. I contacted several small loan companies in the port, Ola. We are country bumpkins. Just love eating fish. Eat whatever you want. Gang Gang Di is Lu Gude. good “

“Liked the food a lot, it was fresh and very tasty! We ordered the sesame cold noodles, garlic Chinese eggplant, salt and pepper tofu and vegan made weeping tiger salad. Honestly each dish was better than the other, right amount of spice and was light. The atmosphere was kind of dive bar-y which was pretty nice. The prices were a bit high in my opinion though. The service wasn’t very good. Our server wasn’t very knowledgeable about the menu as we were asking her questions about it. She brought the check right after we finished our food without asking if we needed anything else which I found it very odd and sloppy! Maybe she was new…“

“the mapo tofu at chiko is the best food in greenpoint and potentially the best dish in all of nyc. it’s literally perfection. it’s somehow both deeply comforting and feels healthy and light. also, get the string beans. you won’t be disappointed. i’ve had it 3/7 days this week.“

“It was a cold friday night, and my girlfriend's family and I decided to go to our favorite hot pot restaurant in long island city, but for some reason, they closed for renovation, and that’s why we decided to go to Da Long Yi Hot Pot.We were lucky that we had the table right away.By far for anyone who looking for flavorful hotpot in long island city. I absolutely recommend you to try Da Long Yi hot pot. The quality of meat are excellent. The chestnut chicken soup is rich and creamy.“

“Been coming to this place for over 10 years and finally getting around to write a well deserved review. Whether it be their lunch special or dinner menu, they do not disappoint. My favorite is their dry pot dish, braised beef noodle soup, and the sweet and tangy orange beef. The appetizers are excellent as well as the typical Szechuan cuisines. Please do not change the chef and will keep coming back.“

“I love this place!!! I haven't tried most of their menu items, but if you ask me what to get the first time coming to this place, it is definitely the Mapo Tofu. Their Mapo Tofu is DIVINE with a nice balance of flavor, heat & texture that you probably won't get anywhere else in Main Street. Then, when coming here the second time around, I would get their double cooked pork, followed by their Sichuan fried rice for a third. It is a BIT pricey but I promise you that it is worth it. Definitely check this place out when visiting Main Street Flushing.“

“Thought the food for the price was just ok. Spicy wontons came 4 to an order and were tiny wontons. Sauce was great..just a small order. Pork lunch was also a very small portion for the price. All in all, we feel this place is good…just not great“

“Wandered in here at 2:30 in the morning when everything else was closed. Got the mapo tofu and some dumplings and it was fantastic. Service was great too. I have quite literally never left a review for any restaurant before, but had such a positive experience I wanted to spread the word.“

“Food has much more complex tastes than other restaurants in the area. We order sesame noodles, fried veggie dumplings and garlic tofu. They were all amazing. Highly recommend. We went Friday for lunch and the place was very sparsely populated. The service was pretty good as well.“

“This might be the best Hot pot experience I've ever had in my life! The skewers are all so delicious and it was great to pick and choose exactly what we wanted and how much of it. The place is authentic and I needed my Pepto-Bismol cuz it was spicy. Not to mention, very affordable!“

“I rarely make YELP reviews but I feel that this place deserves it! I work very close, Rockefeller Center, so I have the pleasure of eating here more often than I'd like lol!! The food is sooooo flavorful. The servers are swift, knowledgeable and nice. Pleaseeeeeee try the beef lo mein! *chefs kiss* I'll update with photos soon!“

“The food was great! General Tso’s chicken lunch special was reasonably priced at $12-13 and it was plenty of food! The water was ice cold and refreshing, which isn’t always the case. The service was great as well. I would recommend it to anyone passing by.“

“If you like good Szechuan, this is the place.The menu is vast and eclectic. I enjoy hot spicy food. Searching the menu I found "griddled shrimp" that's it, no other description. This poc from the post is what I got and I can't stop thinking about the next time. It wasn't the normal heat, it made my mouth tingle not on fire like other things do.When I told the waitresses how I felt about the meal she said that any protein can be substituted for the shrimp.It was one of the best things I've eaten.“

“Ignore the negative reviews and just eat here! My husband and I were blown away with how quickly our food came out and the quality of food. We ordered dan dan noodles in peanut sauce and vinegar, crispy shredded beef, and dry pepper chicken, with a side of white rice and everything was SO good. We have been living in the neighborhood for the past 7 years but usually went to Chinatown for Chinese dinners and we both jokingly said we’ve been fools for doing that when we could have just eaten at Hui. We loved it here and can’t wait to come back and try their walnut shrimp. Oh and their happy hour deal is also a hidden gem.Run, wear your stretchy pants, and have one of the best Chinese meals of your life at Hui!“

“I have been coming to Pig Heaven for years. It’s one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in NYC. Everything I have had here is amazing! While I love their specialties, roast pork spare ribs and roast pork butt, their veggie dishes are equally fantastic.My go-to’s are their wonton soup, soup dumplings, prawns with broccoli, and roast pork fried rice.Service is fantastic! Mandy is “the mayor” she knows everyone and greets one with a warm welcome and attentive care. Everybody loves Mandy, she is the sweetest. Everyone who works here is kind, friendly, and helpful.You know the food is good when you eat a huge meal, but you’re also looking at everyone else’s plates for future inspiration.I’m grateful for Pig Heaven!!“

“I went to Han Dynasty to order takeout, honestly not expecting much since I usually get food there. However, I HAD to ask for my cashier's name. Jose was amazing. He took good care of us, and thanks to him I got out of my comfort zone and tried the Hans Chicken which I believe is a new dish. A new favorite of mine. He made sure we didn't have any allergies, went through the menu with some family members who ate there for the first time... It was just wonderful service. You don't find that often anymore. If I could give more stars, I would! Well done guys.“

“Good food! But no specialty or unique dishes. The menu is very much catered to the UWS customers, but they do their dishes quite well. The pork buns were especially great, and were sweet and perfectly steamed. Service was good. Overall a nice place to have on the UWS, and great for classic (although a bit Americanized) dim sum.“

“***** FIVE STARS *****OUR NEW PLACE is my place nowFOOD IS SPECTACULARWe had Genl Tso Chkn and (spicy) Hot&Sour Soup & pepper steakThe food was fresh & high qualityThe veggies were perfectly cookedPepper Steak was high quality BeefWe were eating at a restaurant on York for years.... that restaurant quality has gone done. OUR NEW PLACE reminds me of their food years ago.I wd consider this "FAST CASUAL".I thanked Jimmy the host /ownerHe is very inviting& very proud of his restaurant as he should be.I WILL BE BACK (OFTEN)AJ.***** 5 STARS *****“

“Decent place. Our waiter was very attentive and wonderful. The food was just okay. We ordered from the vegetarian selection and at the bottom of the cabbage bowl were bits of shredded beef. We’re not strict, but that was strange. The vegetable fried rice was just okay. The add on noddles was plain we asked for soy sauce and use the duck sauce from our spring rolls to give it some flavor. I left full, but the food didn’t really wow either of us.But again, the service was great!“

“Pretty good ma la dry pot but it’s expensive to build—a bit much to charge $4 for cilantro in your food!! Standard at other dry pot places is do this by weight instead of charging per ingredient which I think is also more fun as you can control the quantities you want for different ingredients and can build a more robust pot. Overall, food is good and I may return to try other things“

“Yum, yum, yum! After hearing about this restaurant for a long time, I was afraid of queuing and chose a rainy day to eat there. As a result, there were no people. We were the first table. Not long after we arrived, we saw the boss carrying fish and vegetables freshly bought from the market, so we decided to order fish for the four of us. I personally ordered four dishes and the Chongqing people were very satisfied.1. Yanwu fish, the signature fish? The fish was very delicious and very tender. The boss came out and apologized to us and said that today's fish was too small, but we all thought it was okay. My friend who was traveling with me also said that it was the freshest fish that I had eaten in the United States. It had no peculiar smell, was very fresh, and didn't even have any scales. The boss said that he came back. I also cleaned the fish scales myself, so it’s very clean.2. The stir-fried yellow beef is also delicious, spicy, spicy and tasty. It goes very well with rice. It’s made with green peppercorns!3. Husband and wife beef slices are delicious. They look freshly mixed. They are completely different from other places. There are many different kinds of offal. Everyone loves them.4. I have never eaten this dish in Chongqing, but when I asked the boss what it was, he recommended it and said that it was very suitable for the other dishes we ordered. It really tasted very comfortable. The mustard greens and potatoes were added to the soup, which was a bit bitter and very suitable. Serve after eating spicy foodIt was so delicious that I forgot to take pictures... I only took a picture of the stir-fried yellow beefI was probably the only customer that day. When the boss saw that I was from Chongqing, he chatted with us and gave us a bottle of beer.I saw a lot of people who gave it one star, saying they didn’t open a store or something like that. And at the same time, there were a lot of similar comments? I don’t really understand... My experience was very good. If you want to eat freshly baked authentic Sichuan food, I will come back in the future.“

“I get takeout from here all the time and think it’s delicious. The MaPo tofu is delicious, as are the soup dumplings. The hot and sour soup isn’t the best, but good enough for when I have a taste for it. I’ve also had tasty dry pot and some other tasty dishes.“

“Juan was our bartender and server and delivered exceptional service!! Very attentive and sweet. The ambiance of the place is lovely , right next to our hotel. We already ate dinner so had some light snacks here and a couple of beers and a cocktail. When my cocktail was a little too sweet , he added a little whisky to balance the taste. Cold and windy night in New York on ling island but a little visit here was a good night cap!“

“This place is a bit of a walk from the main hub of Flushing, but it was definitely worth the trek. Came here for a weeknight dinner. We ordered two entrees and an app to share. The app we ordered was the pumpkin mochi cakes, and they were hot and delicious - we were so excited to try them that we forgot to take photos! The entrees were also very flavorful, especially the sliced cured pork with dried string beans and dried radish. I was afraid that a dish with those ingredients would be too salty, but they were able to balance the flavors just right. Would absolutely order that dish again. Service was quick and friendly, and you definitely get value for money at this resto. Would recommend if you are looking for delicious Hunan food while getting away from the usual crowded spots in central Flushing.“

“Good is delicious. Personally I pick it up because delivery may take quite sometime if you’re ready to eat immediately . Options for free item very limited either soda or egg roll . Other places get a choice of soup or pint of pork fried rice also after spend $30 . They only take cash no debit card . I mainly like to buy shrimp items from here because it’s deveined .“

“As far as neighborhood Chinese food joints go......THIS IS A VERY, VERY GOOD, VERY CLEAN KITCHEN. Middle Village would.not support any business for years and years unless they were doing the right thing.HOT AND DELICIOUS!!! I always call and place order for pick up. I never put my food in anyones hands or moped after it's cooked and ready bro.They are VERY VERY VERY busy during lunch special hours....please don't call during this time with stupid questions. Please understand the restaurant business because you're not 10 years old to do that and post a review that the lady was rude to you.....Come on man!“

“Def best Chinese food in rego park/Forest hills, some of the best dishes are braised beef in Chile sauce, shredded beef w/ spicy green peppers, dry & sauteed chicken w/ dry pepper..the Sichuan dumplings in Chile oil are really good as well“

“I just moved here from China! I can tell this restaurant really surprisingly impressed me! The fish head tastes very authentic! That's my favorite dish. My friends crazily fell in love with the poke liver and Hunan special meat. Now I call for all Chinese who love hunan dish must come here to have a try! It won't disappoint you! It's so delicious. It's not easy to eat such good food in New York.“

“This is the BEST Chinese food in the area hands down. Everything is always fresh and tasty. Wonton soup, sweet & sour chicken, chicken w/mixed vegetables, chicken wings, egg rolls, scallion pancakes, fried rice… everything is delicious.“

“I haven't eaten authentic cold sesame noodles with peanut paste in YEARS. I would order them at other restaurants and they would be swimming in sauce. But DANNY'S did it PERFECTLY!! So yummy! Huge thanks to the chef!I tried DANNY'S some years ago, and wasn't impressed. I don't recall what I ordered. After seeing great reviews yesterday, and craving Chinese food, I decided to give them a try. Via takeout, I ordered the cold sesame noodles, fried calamari, and the BBQ rib combo with pork fried rice and egg roll. My absolute FAVORITES were the calamari, the cold sesame noodles, and the ribs. The fried rice and egg roll were okay, but nothing to rave about. But the others were ABSOLUTELY worth rating! Out of the last two mentioned, the rice topped the egg roll. All in all, the food is very tasty and I would like to eat in-house next time. ?“

“This is the definition of a neighborhood Chinese family-run establishment. Often busy, quick service and great menu. Nothing too fancy here. It is clean, bright, and lively. I recommend the pan-fried dumplings. The shredded beef with broccoli and white rice is very good too.“
