Cantonese Restaurants near Elmhurst, NY

“Authentic Chinese Restaurant serving roast duck, pork soy sauce chicken etc. Also they have full men written in English. Lunch with over rice dishes is very affordable. There was a line waiting to buy the Chinese roasted meats.

Vegetarian options: Buddha Delight, and various noodle dishes and Chinese Vegetables“

“Great oyster mushroom and rice rolls“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“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!“

“I have been going to this little rice roll served out of a tiny window of a tofu factory for years and having tried pretty much every other rice roll spot around the city, this is the one I keep coming back to. Always freshly made to order literally in front of you, they come out with the semi firm consistency and tasty goodness every single time. Generously douse it with peanut, chili, hoisin and soy sauce for a most delicious rice roll experience. Being a tofu factory, this place has some of the freshest soybean milk to wash the rice roll goodness. Hits everytime.

Vegetarian options: Rice roll plain, egg, or vegetable like corn. watercress.“

“Food was good. Sweet and sour chicken: chicken was cooked well and seemed like better quality than other places. Sauce flavor was not amazing. Everything else was pretty good and authentic Hong Kong dim sum. Staff look professional and you can tell they work hard. I have to be back on the weekend to try the baked pork buns! “

“I came here with a foodie friend for dinner. We both really enjoyed the food, the service was excellent and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant definitely took me back to Hong Kong - like I was in a new concept restaurant in the famous area of LKF.

Highlights / Our favorite dishes:
- Black Pepper Steak: the sauce was delicious and it came with broccoli rabe, which is a surprising and enjoyable twist (instead of Chinese broccoli). Love that.
- Crunchy Vegetable Fried rice: yes it stayed crispy and crunchy throughout our entire meal and with all our talking. The fried rice was flavorful and not oily. This is the best vegetarian fried rice I've had in NYC.
- H French Toast: This was a perfect dessert ending to our meal. Good for sharing. It is slightly different from traditional Hong Kong french toast which is completely deep fried. This one from Cha Cha Tang is fried crispy on the outside, therefore not as heavy (thankfully since we ate so much for dinner). And I love the ube cream inside!!

Highly recommend!!“

“I’d be happy to upload a picture before eating everything, but I forgot this time! I’m usually pretty frugal and try to cook at home, but I never regret coming here to enjoy this amazing food. It’s so good and delicious—hard to find anything like it anywhere in the vast city of NYC. Food made with love. I’m always happy to come back! Thank you!“

“Chicken, duck, pork, rice and cabbage—oh my. Super tasty. Out does everyone in the zip code. No exaggeration.“

“We recently went here for a small family wedding reception. There were many dishes including Assorted appetizers platter of jelly fish, crispy pork intestine, fried fish/ribs; King crab cooked in 3 ways (fried, steamed and soup-style), Ginger scallions lobsters, lobster with snow pea leaves, steamed fish, soup, crispy chicken and Fried tofu with beef, mushrooms and snow peas. All the dishes were seasoned well. I personally like more of the assorted appetizers platter (not a fan of the crispy pork intestine because it has a very unique taste to it) and the lobster with snow pea leaves. These two dishes are differently cooked compared to my experience from other restaurants. There were some friendly servers. An unique aspect of this place is there is an inside entrance to Artisan Tea & Coffee shop right next door. So if you want specialty drinks from Artisan but don’t want to walk in the cold then this inside entrance makes it very convenient.“

“Perfect place for a top notch meal! Wonderful service too! Our waiter was very informative and taught us about the various items on the menu we had questions about. Highlights were duck, Peking style, mushroom dumplings, shrimp rice noodle rolls, and the rabbit coconut pudding. Note: no rabbits were harmed in the making of the dessert!“

“The flavor of this restaurant is actually not that far from what I had in China, and it's fairly authentic.“

“We found a new Chinatown favorite here… highly recommend! ❤️“

“The food is delicious and great customer service. Will come again?“

“Fun casual spot to grab a bite before heading to a Nets or Liberty game! The chicken was my favorite! It was so flavorful and the spicy level was perfect for me. It was just enough to kick but not overwhelming the flavour. The sides are fantastic too.“

““Wow, finally some real Cantonese food in Manhattan! As a Chinese person, I have to say, it’s rare to find a place that feels so much like home. The fried vegetables were incredibly fresh and cooked just right. If you love authentic Chinese flavors, you’ll want to try this place out!” The dessert also delicious!!!!!“

“amazing authentic chinese food“

“An upscale Cantonese restaurant that delivers on both flavor and presentation, though with prices to match. The interior is sleek and modern, a perfect spot for special occasions. We were super impressed by the flavor of every dish: the salt-baked chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful, the hot stone mushroom rice had rich umami notes and a delightful crispiness, and the scallion oil steamed fish was simple yet well executed with mostly deboned filets, the snow pea tips was hearty with chanterelle mushrooms added on top, and the braised abalone and pork was rich and decadent.

Every dish hit the mark, and the service was attentive and thoughtful throughout the meal. Overall, it’s a great spot for splurging on a special occasion or for a premium Cantonese dining experience.“

“If you need to read reviews to decide to go to Congee Village, the order is wrong.. your family or friends should have brought you there before. No one visits Congee Village alone. It's just not the kind of place you go along. The food is tasty no doubt, and is so good you want to share with others, especially those you love and laugh together.“

“Very friendly staff and amazing pastries! Would definitely come back again!“

“Edit: wanted to update my review that the beef brisket with curry sauce (C2) is crazy good!

Food was fine, never tried hot pot rice before this. It’s cool to see authentic Hong Kong style food in this neighborhood. Interior was comfortable and service was good. To be honest the food was kinda forgettable but I would come back to try other dishes“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“Had dinner there tonight celebrating my mom’s birthday, good food attentive service“

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

“Looking for a hotpot with a twist? Check out Coco Hotpot ? , the coconut broth has this amazing sweet and savory flavor that hits just right. The Chicken so fresh and tender. Plus, their house-made sauce is chef’s kiss ? Perfect spot if you’re craving something new and delicious! ??

“I’m from China and had been long craving authentic good quality Chinese food. When I was in NYC this summer with my parents and boyfriend, we went to try this place out, and that was one of the best meal I had in my life! We tried Beijing duck and skewers as well as some vegetable dishes, everything was so delicious, nicely put together, and other items on the menu also looked authentic and delicious. Will visit this restaurant every time I come to NYC.“

“Incredible Food. Incredibly attentive and professional staff. Instant favorite.“

“Ty absolutely delicious !“

“Super fresh food and top quality service. Thank you.“

“Came here and realized they offered dim sum for lunch service, so this was a must try place in addition to the majority of these restaurants being located in downtown Flushing. We ordered several dim sum dishes and enjoyed them all. Also ordered their beef and bitter melon lunch special with rice and a side of soup. Good sized beef slices and came out piping hot.“

“TL;DR: Tasty wontons paired with OK broth at affordable prices.*****I traveled with my semi-picky eater Viet mom, and she told me that morning she craved mi hoanh thanh (wonton). My homie, Jando S, recommended this restaurant on the corner of Prince Street and 40th Road.Things to know:*****I. FOOD & DRINK: They clearly layout their menu (comprised of three pages) underneath the glass on each table and side. Most things on their menu range from the $5s to the $9s. Their most basic wonton soup only costs $6.75. and the most expensive one goes up to $9 (Dumpling Trio Lo Mein). Mom had the basic and I dove into their latter.*Dumpling Trio Lo Mein: Consists of three different kinds ((pork) wonton, shrimp, and shrimp and watercress and comes with broth on the side, which you can easily pour back into your bowl if you'd like. My favorite was the shrimp.What I love about their dumplings is the filling-to-dough ratio. Especially their shrimp dumpling. Other restaurants cut up the shrimp into too small of pieces, and at Sifu they leave large chunks of shrimp making for fantastic, tasty bite ratios.NBD, but the only thing I didn't love was their broth. Just tasted a bit under seasoned.I also tried their Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce ($5.50), and even though tasty they overcooked it. Not crunchy at all.They also serve basic tea found at any Chinese restaurant.II. SERVICE: Very fast. We received our food within ten minutes of being seated.III. AMBIANCE & DÉCOR: Not too many tables (maybe ten?). This is the type of place you take a wifey and not a first date, nah mean? I also loved the Chinese brotha sitting next to us who unapologetically played some show on full blast via his cell phone. lol.IV. PRICES: Hella affordable. Cash only.V. OVERALL: If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd eat here on the reg.“

“Oh man this steamed rice rolls where somebody and chewy and just flavor a bunch of flavor.“

“Authentic Cantonese cuisine. I was brought up in Guangzhou and these dishes here are the same delicious as the ones I had back in Guangzhou.“

“5 stars for the service they were very accommodating. 4 and half stars for the food. I had the club sandwich i wish it had a little more bacon but still good. We also had stirfried ramen noodles for the kids and they enjoyed it. I will come back again to try their rice dishes or casseroles.“

“Our favorite restaurant in UWS. The service is great. We 💗 the food with a friendly ambiance. The restaurant is clean and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.“

“If you like stone bowl rice or want to try Cantonese cuisine, I highly recommend this place. My friends and I all ordered different dishes, and I particularly liked the pork belly my friend chose more than the Cantonese sausage I got. I def plan to return in the future to explore more of the stone bowl rice options. The prices are very reasonable, making it a great value overall.“

“Great place for dim sum. The staff was incredibly friendly. Dim sum was good some dishes were great and one or two I've had better but I'd like to come back to see if it was just an off day for those specific items. Still a good deal for the price.“

“Several booths inside from Cantonese to Korean. Fresh rice paste and many more delicious dishes.“

“Came here for a late lunch along with my infant son. Left impressed with the food and the value of their lunch portions. The salt and pepper pork and fish casserole dish were my favorites here. The staff were accommodating and took time from their own lunch break to serve us. The only downside is that this place is quite far from where I live.“

“Casual vegan spot owned by a mom and pop. With daily lunch specials and a full menu of food choices, every time I come, it's like I'm finding something new to try. Dim sum, dumplings and seitan skewers are highlights. My favorite dishes are the full entrees such as vegan duck, Vegan black sesame beef and any stir fry with baby bok choy. The flavors, cooking methods and sauces are familiar -- like a Cantonese restaurant. Must try the pumpkin soup!“

“Superb food and presentation.. pleasantly surprised to find this level service and food in Manhattan’s original Chinatown! Felt like HongKong❣️“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“Considering all the Chinese restaurant restaurants in Manhattan's Chinatown, Yin Ji Chang Fen certainly must rank among the best.“

“We ordered takeout. The shaking beef 's beef was very tough. The roti was surprisingly good and the curry that came with it was delicious. The banh mi was okay. They were very busy in store and had a lot of roast meats. I might come back and try to dine in.“

“Great food great service. Nice price“

“Definitely one of the best roasted meat in I ate. Their beef with noodles are amazing. A must try if your in Chinatown NY.“

“Came here for dinner around 6 pm and had a seat pretty quickly, but at 7 pm, there was a line, so it was best to come here early.The food we ordered was tasty, but the fried fish was incredibly salty. The waiters were a bit on the rude side, but it's nothing that I'm not used to in a Chinese restaurant.Overall, it's not bad, and food is good. Great place with family or a big group of people.

Parking: Parking is tough here since it's on the main road. You can get lucky or drive into a residential street and find parking there. Better chance.“
