“9/27/2024: (Update #2)
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

4/29/2021: (Update #1)
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!

6/10/2019: (Original Review)
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!“

“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.“

The person working is usually different everytime I go but they are all so kind! And they really pack in what they can into the to-go container. I guess it depends on how much you eat but it usually lasts me 2 meals.

They take both cash and card which is also really convenient.“

“Calling this place “no frills” of pretty on-target, my dinner date walked over to the fridge to grab beverages that we ordered and never came. The tv, which still has it's “energy guide” sticker was playing a mix of YouTube music videos and commercials which seemed perfect for the adolescent guests who outnumbered the adults when we arrived just after 7 on Sunday night.
But that's not why we're here! Momo's and Liang Fen, authentic Nepali style, and a side of gyuma, traditional blood sausage with rice flour.
The Liang Fen are cold wide noodles wrapped around a filling that seems to be tofu. The “dry” version isn't in a broth, but it's hardly dry, it has a super yummy chili sauce that's just the right spicy, and the texture is a little chewy, but not tough. Very good
The blood sausage has the same grainy texture of British blood sausage, but the addition of toasted rice flour gives it a more pillowy texture. Also served in a light sauce with dried red chilies, it lit me up in the most pleasant way.
Then Momos with jhol sauce, fragrant of sesame, garlic, ginger and more chilies, spicy but not too much.
It's probably great as takeaway, but the pageant if interesting locals in and out, and Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift with commercials for streaming services made for an unforgettable meal.“

The hot sauce, the meat, the tzatziki, the lettuce, the tomatoes, everything so fresh, and the taste. Who would think 5 years later this is still the best we have ever had. On top of it all his service and kind smile was so genuine. Absolute 5 star food. Loved it and can’t wait to try again!“

“I’ve been going to Boon Chu for several years now. I still go there even if I already moved to another state. I always bring my visitors here and would recommend them to friends from time to time. Their food feels like a piece of the Thai home. As of this press time, I went there with friends. We had the panang curry, the pad thai, pag ka prao, dim sum and soft shell crab. For dessert, we had mango sticky rice. I just hope, each time I go there, that they have a branch in every state. I assume they can’t because their chef’s taste is hard to replicate. The server is also very courteous, she’s been there since my first visit to their store.

“Shanghai people are not very adaptable to the name change. It is originally Shanghai style, and it does have Shanghai flavor. It tastes like home. After all, the boss is also a Shanghainese. I don’t know why Shanghai cuisine’s four dishes and one soup were directly renamed Wenzhou Restaurant. . Now back to dine in. Five years ago, food cost five yuan, but now it has risen to eight yuan. It’s not easy for everyone.“

“Hidden gem in Elmhurst: Double Rainbow Bakery at 8251 Broadway is serving up pure magic in every bite.

Their pineapple bun? Absolute perfection—crispy golden top with that warm, pillowy center. It's everything a pineapple bun should be.

Don’t sleep on their fish sandwich either—soft bun, flaky fish, and just the right balance of crunch and flavor.

Now for the showstopper: their mochi donuts (aka Pon De Ring) are hands-down the best in the game. Chewy, lightly sweet, and beautifully glazed—each bite is a dream.

Also obsessed with their Chinese egg tarts—buttery crust with silky, custardy centers that melt in your mouth.

And let’s talk about their mini sesame seed pineapple buns: slightly nutty, subtly sweet, and dangerously snackable.

If you’re in Queens, this bakery is a must-visit.
