Very good for the price. Wonton noodle soup is $6.95. The fried was like $2 more. The soy sauce and the crunchy book choy made its delicious. At these prices I'll be a regular customer
I will give a four star.
I came for lunch on a recent Sunday for the first time. The restaurant is conveniently located near the 71st Avenue subway station. The entry is bright and welcoming; the restaurant itself is big, clean and laid out nicely. They have an open kitchen in the back. There were plenty of seating and I imagine this place would be good for group dining.
Love the variety of different kids of noodles to choose. We ordered 2 appetizers: fried shrimp roll and scallions pancake. Both are presented nicely and tasted fresh and yummy. Noticed there is an actress who paid extra attention on wiping the wet glass cup. Will visit again for casual family dinner
The food was great, as were the prices, excellent value. The place was clean and looked nice. The staff was friendly.
If you have a bad day and just need some warm comfort food with a friendly uplifting staff RenWen is a great place to cheer up. I stumbled into this quaint restaurant and will definitely be going back again. The Chaisu Roll was savory and juicy with every bite. The prices were cheap and the noodles were filling and delicious.
I went with my family earlier for lunch. The food was fine and the portions were decent. However, we had a bit of a rude experience from one of the male staffers. My mother wanted to ask one of the staffers for some soy sauce and called one over. However, the man gave a rude response by saying, "I can see you, I can hear you" in a very ill-mannered tone. Very impolite.
Amazing! This noodle place turned my day upside down! I had a horrible experience in a different restaurant and I came into this restaurant extremely HAPPY and WELCOMED! The waiters and management are extremely polite and friendly I was truly amazed by the awesome service. This is a life changing experience I highly recommend. What’s even better is a bill for two people (2 appetizers, 2 ramen entrees, fortune cookies, tea and drinks are only 20 dollars). At forest hills, this is a STEAL!! COME HERE DONT SECOND GUESS URSELF!! Lunch specials are so cheap but food is high quality and filling. The waiters come around and refill the drinks and ask if you want their signature jasmine tea or water they are happy to refill. The bathroom was available and clean. The seating is so relaxed! We asked for hot sauce and they politely gave it to us.
Finally We all have a great noodle place on Queens Blvd in Forest Hills!
I loved the shrimp rolls! Rich flavor and crispy on the outside!

I have tried this new noodle place 5 times. I was there at the soft opening and the experience was great. The scallion pancake was fried to perfection and the beef noodle tasted authentic. However, at the grand opening, the experience went sour. My order was delayed at least 20 minutes, then wrong order was taken plus food quality definitely dropped. It was like they could not handle the volume. But everything seems to return to normal now. I rate this place 5 stars for the value and the location. Will for sure come back again.
Forest hills is truly becoming a destination for Asian cuisine, and Ren Wen is the latest addition. Not specific to any one country or region, it's broad influences make for an interesting menu but one that misses the mark a bit. Still the food is good and you won't find more noodle choices anywhere but some of the dishes can feel a bit repetitive in their flavors. It's as if they tried to take a bit of the distinct regional quality out of the dishes to make them appeal to a broader Western audience and in so doing lost a bit of the magic. Unlike nearby Xintaste which has dishes with a lot of character and spices that are so heavy you can smell them down the block, Ren Wens flavors are milder but familiar. I enjoyed trying all the different noodles, and think you will too. Don't listen to the service complaints, they are very attentive and nice but on day one the half price special had them swamped with people. Since then its been far easier to get a table. In fact, unlike some of the other regional Asian places in Forest Hills, Ren Wens probably has the best ambiance, with nice big booths, plenty of space and great decor. It feels like the first of a chain, in a good way, with clean modern finish that's bright and cheery. Overall check it out, I don't think it's the best in Forest Hills but definitely worth a visit.
