“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“The friendliest staff that you can ever imagine, along with large portion sizes of the most unique central Asian flavors I’ve ever experienced. Not coming here means you are missing out on a phenomenal dining experience. Ask for recommendations and you will not be disappointed!“

“There’s something incredibly comforting and nourishing about a good coconut chicken hotpot, and Coco Hotpot 皇椰鸡 delivers that experience beautifully. We ordered the Coconut Chicken Set for 2, which came with a half portion of fresh cage-free chicken, your choice of noodles or rice of your choice, and a vegetable platter filled with corn, winter melon, napa cabbage, lettuce, and enoki mushrooms all slowly cooked in fresh coconut water. The portion was honestly perfect for me and my boyfriend satisfying, balanced, and filling without feeling overly heavy. If you want more, they also offer plenty of add-ons to customize your hotpot further.
What makes this style of hotpot so unique is its history and philosophy. Coconut chicken hotpot originates from Hainan cuisine, where food is known for emphasizing freshness, clean flavors, and natural ingredients rather than relying heavily on oil or intense spice. Unlike traditional hotpots that focus on rich broths or chili oils, Hainan-style coconut chicken soup highlights the sweetness of fresh coconut water paired with high-quality chicken. Coconut water naturally contains subtle sweetness and minerals, which creates a lighter and healthier broth that still feels deeply flavorful and comforting.
The experience itself felt very thoughtful and authentic. The server prepares everything tableside for you, which made the meal feel even more special. They first pour the fresh coconut water into the pot and bring it to a gentle boil before adding the chicken. As the chicken cooks, they carefully skim away the scum from the top to keep the broth crystal clear and clean tasting a traditional cooking technique that helps preserve the purity and delicate flavor of the soup.
The chicken turned out incredibly tender, juicy, and naturally flavorful from simmering in the coconut broth. You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Once we added the vegetables, the soup became even better. The corn released extra sweetness into the broth, the napa cabbage softened and added depth, winter melon gave the soup a refreshing and cooling quality, while the enoki mushrooms brought a subtle earthy umami flavor. By the end, the broth develops into this naturally sweet, savory, and aromatic soup that tastes so comforting yet surprisingly light and healthy.
We chose udon noodles instead of rice, and it was absolutely the right choice. The thick chewy noodles soaked up all that flavorful coconut chicken broth beautifully. Every bite felt warm, silky, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.
They also have a sauce bar available if you want to customize your dipping sauces, though it does come at an additional charge. Personally, the broth itself was already so flavorful that it barely even needed sauce, but it’s a nice option if you enjoy mixing garlic, scallions, soy sauce, chili, or sesame-based dips with your hotpot.
This meal leaves you feeling nourished rather than overly full. Refreshing, healthy, authentic, and genuinely delicious. I also love that their menu offers many other traditional soups and coconut-based hotpots to explore, which makes me excited to come back and try more next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting if you enjoy clean flavors, comforting soups, and high-quality ingredients.“

“Among my fave spots around. The atmosphere is electric and they play every game! Enjoy their all-day happy hour, when you can receive five shots for $25 to $40 (depending on your poison of choice). The food is more typical of a pub, but it's great for a quick bite and priced friendly! Highly recommended their bulgogi quesadilla. Couldn’t gate-keep any longer!!“

“Quick, affordable and tasty dry hot pot. You walk in, grab a bowl and tongs, choose your ingredients and hand it over to the cashier to cook. Price is based on weight, but one bowl around 1.5 lb was enough for the two of us. We opted for the “tiny spicy” level and it was just the right out amount of kick — not too spicy but just enough to get you sniffling. The seasoning the chef put it was great too. Highly recommend“

“It is the best Vietnamese noodles place in flushing they don’t use any MSG and the broth is truly top notch!! The most important thing is that the owner is truly kind and you can really feel how much they care about their customers. Iam so happy to have found another favorite restaurant.“

“My friend and I wanted some warm soup in the cold winter, so we found this gem around the area!
Really quick service and the owner was so considerate and sweet.
We got the army stew, seafood pancake and steamed dumplings (also can order as fried). Everything hit the spot and we even had enough as leftover to take home as two people eating!
Definitely a really good lunch/dinner spot and will definitely be coming back!“

“I travelled 40 miles deep into Flushing Queens for the best Korean Fried Chicken! Comes with Spicy or Soy Garlic, Juicy Drumsticks or wings and with some tangy sour pickled radish or sweet creamy kimchi cole slaw. You are missing out if you have not tried this!!! You want some?! Usually I would get this when I worked the Financial District or Midtown Manhattan but this was the closest to home and they did not let me down!! Like most Korean Fried Chicken Places in Flushing or K-Town Manhattan... you can see Asian families/ laughing and eating wings with a whole pile of delicious wings dumped in the middle of the table! They on to something here! Lol #foodie #foodporn #koreanfood #friedchicken“

“I have been coming here for years, always hospitable and accommodating. Food is made fresh, to order and portions are decent for the pricing. Good bang for your buck. I prefer the lo mein for an additional fee. First place you see off the escalator leading down to the food court. Solid, some of these other reviews are a bit pretentious. Grab you a plate!“
“Convenient and affordable brunch?Fuzhou cuisine has everything you need! Flushing Q58 terminal! Every day when you take the bus to work and get off at the terminal, you can buy delicious food. There are oil ghosts... porridge... steamed buns... and the most important thing is that they are cheap! There’s nothing wrong with spending a few dollars a day, hahaha, saving time, effort and money “

“$12 cai pan fan - 2 veggies and 1 meat dish
I come here when I crave rice and something spicy. They offer cold dishes as side dishes or you can have them as part of of your lunch meal. Got the tofu shreds and celery, bamboo shots in chili oil, and the beef tendon & tripe. They were all delicious. I know other places have cheaper prepared rice dishes like this around flushing but if im in NY food court, this is a nice meal as well which includes hot soup.
Ive recommend their hot oil chili hicken, chicken feet, and the fried fish too. I see lots of locals get their hot rice dishes. Might be worth a try too!“

“Awesome folks behind the counter!
Food was made quickly and fresh, the portions are a reminder of what family owned is like.
Half Chicken w/ shrimp fried rice - was fried to perfection, the rice was flavorful.
Shrimp egg roll - was delicious, fried perfectly and the perfect amount of stuffing.
The homemade ice tea - was delicious, not overly sweet and still flavorful.
The prices are standard for NYC, you cannot go wrong eating here 👍🏽“
“Susan was such a welcoming and kind person to meet during our day in flushing. She treated me and my friend like we were family, and was incredibly knowledgeable about tea and the cultures surrounding it. While my friend spoke with her in Chinese, she would happily switch to English so I could fully understand what she was teaching, which truly made me feel appreciated. I wish I could give 10 stars, please support her business.“

“This was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ordered on Uber Eats.
A lot of places are either too salty, too spicy, or just disappointing, but this food was absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous, and you can really tell that care and effort went into making it. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying and tasty meal. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“The service is amazing and the food was delicious“
“First off I wanna say this place is a "DIAMOND IN THE "MUFF"ins, breakfast sandwiches hot soups as well as their "SPOT ON" perculator hot coffee, rich and delicious. No coffee pots nor instant anything. JUST FRESH FOOD!!
While I was there just to retrieve a hot coffee for $1.50 the owner was just placing ready made hot piping buns and breakfast buns with ham and cheese. So in the pictures if the shelves look sparse that is because I was there earlier about 550AM to be exact well before their internet posted time. Prices are very reasonable, better than being raped by Dunkin donuts or Starbucks if that is your thing. Parking is metered and ample. And the restaurant has 2 entrances a front door on Northern Parkway Service Road and a back door on 36th, 2 tables with chairs to eat, not really an establishment to dine in. This shop should have been called "Uh HA", I told you so?? instead of just " HA."
Ha Bakery is south of 25A or Northern Blvd. So go check them out and tell them the Guru* sent you?

“I am speaking as somebody who only ordered takeout and went in to pick up, I got like 3 different dishes with rice for like 8 to 9 dollars. It is inside of Arcadia mall which doesn't seem to get much foot traffic these days, so there isnt much wait time. The staff are nice and polite, can't say much about the atmosphere since I don't see a lot of people but the food is great for the price.“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.
Regarding the food:
Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.
Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.
King Salmon: Quite tender.
Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.
Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.
Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“
