Cantonese Restaurants near Elmhurst, NY

“The most authentic taishan/canton style you can get. Been coming here all my life, from toddler to middle age adulthood. The food is delicious, packed full of flavor, and honestly the best canton lobster you will ever find. Brother Wah is a master of wok hay.

They recently changed management within the last year or so, though still a tight-knit circle of the same employees, and the service has greatly improved, along with table-side amenities. Their business was hit hard by COVID, along with the entire street, and hasn't seemed to recover the same amount of patrons, which is a huge shame.

Hoping my review will help!

Definitely recommending their canton lobster, along with their young chow fried rice, saucy clams, and fried salt n garlic beans!

“We stopped by Ocean Bay Restaurant for Sunday dim sum. The menu has all the typical dim sum favorites, and everything we ordered was satisfying.

My favorite was the shrimp cheung fun—it's one of my go-to dim sum dishes, and this one did not disappoint. We also ordered from the menu the pan-fried noodles with beef, which came in a surprisingly large portion and was very tasty.

Service was quick, and the food arrived without much wait. One thing to note is that the dining room feels a bit tight, especially with the traditional dim sum carts moving around the aisles.

Parking was easy since there's free parking nearby, which is definitely a plus.

Overall, while Ocean Bay wouldn't be my first choice for Sunday dim sum, it's a solid option if you're in the area or craving dim sum without a long wait.“

“I absolutely love this place. My dad and I come here so often that it’s become one of our regular spots.

The food is consistently delicious, and while the restaurant itself is small and simple, that’s actually part of its charm. It feels authentic like you’re eating at a local restaurant in China rather than a place designed for tourists.

What really stands out is the value. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and portion size. For example, a bowl of beef noodle soup is only around $9. At many other places, you’d easily pay $11–12 or more for the same dish.

I know some people may mention that the service can occasionally be a little slow or that there may be some language barriers, but honestly, I’ve never found that to be a problem. Everyone has always been kind, and a little patience goes a long way.

If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food at a great price, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Don’t let the simple appearance fool you.the food is absolutely worth it. ❤“

“Lot of option of food I love how thry have different choice and small portion so everyone can afford it I went for roast duck ...they don't speak much English or they don't have everything listed in English wat they have but lot of choices of food will definitely revisit here“

“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.“

“I'm pushing 60 and I've had dim sum in many many different places including Hong Kong, Singapore, KL, Vancouver, Toronto, Seattle, LA, and NY. The taste and quality of Hey Yuet is one of the best I've ever had. This place is certainly a jewel of a find.“

“Food was overall good and had some interesting fusion dishes. The highlights were:
- steamed fish
- pork ribs
- fried rice with chasiu
- roast duck

It is pricy for sure but the atmosphere was mostly nice.

Sesame noodles were a little overcooked though!“

“Good food with a price you cannot beat.“
