Chinese Restaurants near Kew Gardens

“I tried the boneless spare ribs that everybody was raving about, and oh boy, that was delicious. Don't even think twice about it. It's a delicious dish. I heard going things about the General Tso's too, which is my normal go-to dish at Chinese restaurants, so now I am going to order and try that as well. By the way heads up: No indoor dining options, and CASH only! Amazing prices. Also free delivery.“

“Average chinese, expected better from the area, being from long island i expect alot from queens, i really wasnt impressed. But they seemed very nice, and have a great location by the train station. its really 3.5 stars i will round up to 4 because egg roll was good, food was hot and quick service. Ive had worse too.“

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“Great, delicious food! Beautiful setting. Great Service.“

“Loved the ambience in this great little find! Having traveled to Sichuan province, I can attest that the food really has authentic flavors (albeit kinder to the American palette). The Juju cocktail is outstanding. Would definitely come back to this place try other dishes.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Great experience, great food, great hospitality“

“A calm and pleasant spot for lunch.

I came during the afternoon and the place was quiet.
The staff was very friendly and even asked how the meal was at the end.
Note: It’s self-service.

Food: The hand-pulled noodles and broth were fresh and excellent.
The fried side dish was crispy and flavorful.
Drink: The iced black tea with mango was light and very refreshing.
Tip: As you can see in the video - the portions are very generous.
I recommend ordering a small size because I couldn’t finish it.

Seating: I sat by the window facing the street. It was nice to eat and watch Broadway at the same time.
There’s also an inner bar table closer to the kitchen.
The place is clean and the surrounding area feels calm and safe.

Price: Very affordable and filling.
This was my first time trying authentic Chinese food and I was pleasantly surprised.
Highly recommend and worth saving for a real local meal.“

“Great dining experience for hot pot.“

“Solid stuff but not as mind blowing as the other reviews say (though this depends if you’ve had good Chinese food before).

Fish was solid but a little too heavy on the batter to fish ratio. Eggplant was simple but good. The silken tofu was really solid texturally - might’ve been the standout dish for our meal.“

“What a great find!!! Place was cool inside, food was yummy, we liked it a lot. Staff were friendly and nice. We will definitely go back.“

“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.“

“My God… Chongqing Lao Zao might be the best Chinese hot pot I’ve ever had. And if you’ve seen my other reviews, you know I’ve eaten at A LOT of hot pot places. 😂 This one seriously impressed me.

The entrance is actually pretty small and very easy to miss, but once you walk through that door… WOW. It feels like you just stepped into a Chinese palace. The decorations, the details, the atmosphere—everything is beautiful. Before we even started eating, I was already walking around looking at everything.

Then there’s the service. Next level. The servers were so attentive that they basically wouldn’t let us lift a finger. 😂 Plates cleared, broth checked, food taken care of—they were always there without making us feel rushed. That kind of service really changes the whole experience.

And of course, the hot pot itself was incredible. Rich, authentic flavors and exactly what I want when I’m craving real Chinese hot pot. Great food is one thing, but when you combine it with this atmosphere and this level of service, it becomes an experience.

I review a lot of hot pot restaurants and usually can find at least one thing I would change. This time, I really can’t.

Small door outside, palace inside. 👏🔥🍲 Easy 5 stars. One of my new favorite hot pot experiences, period.“

“Ate there yesterday for the first time. What a find! The food is excellent, staff is wonderful, pricing is great. I loved how clean everything was. Enjoy!“

“Excellent foods from the appetizer to the main courses.“

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

“Everything is good“

“The fish was tender and flavorful, and the green pepper sauce had a nice kick without being overwhelming. The Mao Xue Wang was also tasty and had plenty of ingredients. Overall, a great spot if you’re craving Sichuan-style fish and spicy dishes. Would definitely come back!“

“This is the most delicious Korean Chinese restaurant I‘ve ever eaten. The place is clean and friendly. I love this place and Truly recommend ~!!!!“

“My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate a special occasion. They have a good happy hour and the service was fantastic. They are super friendly and attentive. The fried rice is awesome and the general tso’s chicken was delicious, with portions so big that we took home leftovers. If I could recommend one thing it would be the fried dumplings appetizer, best I’ve ever had in NYC. We will be back soon!“

“Excellent dining experience! The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were authentic. Portions are generous, and there are plenty of options, including great value set meals. The hand-pulled noodles were outstanding—fresh, chewy, and full of flavor. The service was excellent as well. The staff were attentive, friendly, and offered helpful recommendations. Definitely a place I’ll come back to!“

“We had such a great meal at Pig Heaven! The BBQ spare ribs were so tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed. We also really enjoyed the soup dumplings, Peking duck, Sesame chicken, noodles, and Mapo tofu. Everything came in generous portions and was great for sharing. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Definitely a great Chinese spot on the Upper East Side. We’d love to come back!“

“This is a nice restaurant that has traditional Hunan, Sichuan, and Chinese American Cuisine. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and very early 1900’s style Chinese restaurant fashion almost like being in San Francisco.. The food is very good. The staff is very nice. The portions are just great. On the more expensive side to bring your credit cards 💳. It’s like taking a history lesson in Chinese food in America. Give this place to try if you’re in the area we will definitely be going back.“

“Came here with my family on a Sunday night, we were seated quickly with friendly and attentive service throughout! Everything we ate was handmade in house - including the pineapple cakes pictured here. I would really recommend getting the sauteed stinky tofu and the sesame oil pork kidney :) I will definitely come back to try out more from their menu!!“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“Ma po tofu (with meat, the women sitting next to us got it with mushroom and we felt so fortunate we stuck to the classic because they were complaining about the flavor), garlic string beans, fried rice, Dan Dan noodles. Can’t go wrong with their version of the classics.“

“Been here a few times. Best skewer place in this area or matter of fact anywhere near here outside of Flushing. Food is always fresh and good and service is great. The 2+1 specials on the drinks with soju and beer is awesome. The place looks very clean and new. Very roomy as well where you’re not crowded with other customers and AC works great during hot weather.

This trip we had the pig head salad along with assortment of skewers. All amazing. The meat with salad was so refreshing.

They also gave us this entire dish of crabs for $1!!! It was so good as well.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Young and Rich New York, thanks to our server, Kevin!

Because I have strict dietary needs, I requested my meal with no Monosodium Glutamate, no seafood sauce, no soy sauce, less salt, and less oil. Before taking my order, Kevin went straight to the chef to confirm that the kitchen could accommodate my specific requests.

His attention to detail was incredible throughout the meal. When we ordered the stir-fried water spinach and shredded potatoes, he remembered that the potato dish usually includes dried spicy peppers. Knowing I cannot handle spicy food, he proactively double-checked to ensure the peppers were left out.

Every dish was prepared perfectly, and Kevin made sure I felt completely taken care of from start to finish!“

“The most hospitable and hardworking people run this establishment. They worked so hard to prepare our online order quickly. They offered us sliced watermelon while we waited, as well as included sesame balls and pickled cabbage with our order free of charge. The food was delicious and high quality! Definitely worth the visit.“

“Great authentic food. Really enjoyed it.“

“Ji Bei Chuan is my go-to hidden gem in Flushing. Both dry-tossed and soup rice noodles are fantastic: the Family Combo dry noodles are coated in rich savory sauce, the beef brisket noodle soup has a deep hearty broth, the pickled vegetable fish noodle is bright and appetizing, and the premium fish maw bowl is loaded with quality ingredients. Sides, grilled gluten and crispy juicy tofu are also amazing — perfect with noodles or beer. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and good value“

“The service was excellent; every staff member was warm, attentive, and responsive, making for a very pleasant dining experience. The ingredients were incredibly fresh—both the meat and vegetables were of high quality—and the meal was truly satisfying. The sauce station was spotless, and the overall environment was clean and comfortable. Whenever I crave hot pot, Jingmen is my go-to spot—highly recommended!“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“This is a very local restaurant.
It doesn't have fancy decor, nor does it serve mind-blowing dishes with flavors you can't find anywhere else.
However, their food is very wholesome and down-to-earth, without the heavy oils or excessive salt used to aggressively hook a customer's palate.
The prices are also very affordable—I imagine people working nearby frequent this place often.
I'm a delivery truck driver, and whenever I pass through this area, I make sure to stop by.
The elderly owner is Taiwanese and extremely kind, and they also employ some Spanish staff. The overall work atmosphere is wonderful, and I'm certain the owner treats them very well. Dining here gives you a sense of peace that you just can't find anywhere else.
You shouldn't go out of your way just to eat here, but if you happen to be passing by, you definitely have to drop in and check it out.“

“Man, I love this place. Mom & pop business serving up elite dumplings, noodles, and rice bowls. Service is super friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. Everything is so fairly priced, too. I hope we keep this place around forever. The veggie dumplings are great, too.“

“Came here with a group of five and had a great experience. The interior is cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal with friends.
The food was packed with flavor and definitely impressed the whole table.
Lamb and beef kebabs were well spiced; Glass noodles in sesame sauce were a surprising hit—everyone at the table loved them!
The BBQ lamb rack was a standout: incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
Great place for group gatherings or casual dining. I’d definitely come back!“

“Excellent food, but the service is what truly made this place stand out. My friend unexpectedly had to take a phone call, and since the restaurant was quiet, the staff kindly turned off the music so he could hear. When he was done, they even reheated his meal without us asking.

That kind of genuine thoughtfulness is rare these days. Great food, wonderful people, and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend supporting this restaurant—we’ll definitely be back!“

“great service and great food! I recommend this place to everyone that is looking for healthy and clean food“

“Absolutely loved this meal! The green pepper fish was fresh and tender, with a rich, tangy broth and a wonderful peppery aroma. The fish slices were delicate and soaked up all the flavors beautifully. The spicy beef was another highlight, packed with bold chili flavor and topped generously with scallions. The beef was tender, juicy, and incredibly satisfying with rice. Both dishes had completely different flavor profiles, so they complemented each other perfectly. Portions were very generous and everything arrived fresh and beautifully presented. A fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys flavorful Sichuan-style dishes. I would definitely order again!“

“The food is like nothing I’ve ever had before. The best restaurant in Flushing. I had a wonderful time with my friends. :)“

“The food was so interesting and totally fresh. The largest shrimp I have ever seen. The soup was just the right amount of spice and good vegetables with tofu. I loved the steamed vegetable dumplings, almost like a dim sum sum bun but moister. Our server Lu was very friendly and efficient!“

“As a person who grew up in Hunan, China which loves rice noodles either with soup or dry stirred. They have decent rice noodles and great flavors. They also let you customize your own taste with spices, chilli oil, sour string beans and more stuff you can add yourself which give the customer lots of freedom while adjusting a flavor that they will like the most. Highly recommand for people who loves noodles!“

“They are best Marketing Agency.“

“Went there on a monday night and the food was incredibly impressive. Got the Char Siu Bone Marrow for appetizers and lobster fried rice and filet mignon and broccoli for entree. Filet mignon and broccoli sauce was exceptionally delicious and the meat was so tender. The service was also impeccable since we walked in til we were done.“

“These are so authentic (and trust me I grew up eating them) - satisfied a multi-year craving. Also - the lady making them was so nice!! Definitely worth the hype. Get the classic jianbing (no need to add additional toppings) for the classic bfast taste profile + experience.“

“Food is always good we have come here for years. The Whole Fish Filet w. Spicy Chili & Peppercorn in Broth is one of my favorite dishes in the city. Other dishes we always get are cumin lamb and fried tofu both 10/10. And tea of course.“

“just went there today during a day trip to NYC with my friend and it was amazing! lovely service, noodles and soup were great, and meal was a great price for the portions. i definitely recommend 110%“
