It's good to have a Cantonese restaurant amongst Korean eateries in the area. The food is ok compared to other Cantonese restaurants. The fish was flavorless. Their signature garlic chicken was good - crunchy on the outside and moist inside.

Another visit, another delicious Cantonrse style family restaurant meal. Ordered the lobster with sticky rice and beef chow fun. Lobster any style here is only $34.99. The sticky rice will add another $15 but worth it. The beef chow fun dish portions is huge and only 15.99. Service here is always great. Will be back for more!

FREAKIN RIDICULOUS!!! We went there for a birthday dinner. We order a special deal where we can choose 2 seafood out of the 4 choices. We choose lobster for 34.99 and geoduck for 49.99. The lobster was ok but the geoduck...THIS CAME OUT!!! IT WAS SO FREAKING LITTLE!!! We confirmed with a waiter and he said this is it and it's on special for the price. YEAH...SPECIALLY EXPENSIVE FOR THAT AMOUNT! Other stuff were okay but THIS WAS A TOTAL RIP OFF! BEWARE!!! Do not order the special unless you don't mind your money go to waste. The only reason it's 2 stars instead of one was because the food was ok.

Very competent Cantonese seafood/dimsum place in Flushing / Northern Blvd. Had the usual: clam black bean sauce, sautéed beef scallion, snow pea shoots. But the lobster over sticky rice special, was really really good. Compared to other places, the rice was crunchy and full of interesting ingredients. Not steamed sticky, but more like fried rice with crispy bits. Per my Cantonese friend, this is the painintheass way of making this special rice. 2 pound lobster fried mixed in. About 50, total worth it. Place is growing on me.

I have a mix bag of feelings for this place. Don't get me wrong. First impression the food was great. We came here for lunch and got their signature wontons, and dumpling varieties and their beef rice noodle rolls and curry stews. Definitely top notch. BUT, this review is literally day and night. Lunch was great but dinner was a different story. We've ordered their supposedly famous roasted garlic chicken, their walnut shrimp, the stir fry maws, their clay pot fish and tofu, their salt and pepper porkchops. First off the chicken was old. Definitely was pre made before hand and reheated. Most places makes it fresh and keeps the juices where the white meat melts in your mouth. Majority of the meat was dry and tasteless. They doused it with large amounts of toasted garlic to hide the smell of the chicken. THIS was a disappointment. Their response was that is how it suppose to smell like. Strike one. Their stir fry maw that we've ordered was a special discounted dish. They even have that on their poster stating that it is one of the specials that you can order. They up charged us full price and their excuse was that we have to STATE that we wanted the "discounted" version vs the full price version. I didn't feel like arguing how business works... so please be careful when you do see a special discount on their walls. Make sure to let them know. In most businesses they would honor the discount and apologize and let the future waiters know to let the customer know that you have to verify if you wanted the discounted or full price of a dish. This would've been a correct way vs them showing me the plate.... as if I was an idiot and didn't understand how ordering works... Which was rude. Also one of the waiters said they would discounted this time and at the end he changed it to "Sorry, you ordered the full price version". I didn't care for the cost, but the principle and how business works. The walnut shrimp was also a dissapointment. I'm assuming due to overwhelming orders. The chef fried the shrimp but didnt give it enough time to crisp up and then tossed into the sweet mayo... they somehow stirfried it where the flour became goop....and the mayo melted like gravy... it just had a weird texture. The Salt & Pepper Porkchops. I think they forgot the salt part? Cause none of it had any flavor... just Pepper and garlic. The Fish Tofu was probably the most tasteful one out of the bunch. Overall dinner was a bad experience. I probably won't come back for dinner if they're gonna penny pinch or if it's over crowded cause they can't seem to bust out the dishes with enough seasoning.

The place is very standard Cantonese. It is clean and absent of fancy decor. I come to this place whenever I crave the standard Cantonese style steam fish. It has not disappoint. The service is always very prompt as i stay away from Fridays and the weekends.

I took out food from Wonton King while shopping nearby. Order same quickly and delicious! I tried their salt and pepper pork chop and Singapore. Noodles! Spring roll also. All Yummy! My friend enjoyed them too.

Went here to dinner for 3 last night. Place is jam packed with regulars and big families. Been here for the 2nd time now, service is fast and neat. The master chef who cooked behind the layer was tremendous at his job along his comrades. There are no bad dishes, anything you can imagine is cooked to perfection. They have live dungeness crabs, alaskan king crab, live fish. I love Canto food, this place is a solid 4. We ordered Jumbo shrimp mayonnaise with broccoli and walnuts, salt peppers squid, NY wonton soup, the green veg sauteed with garlic, and half crispy garlic roasted chicken. Everything fresh, especially the squid, its easy to know if squid is fresh or not is thru their texture and chewiness, if you chew and easy to shallow, then its good to go... this would definitely be a place to be back once every week or month, you wont be disappointed!

I was always curious how there was always a humongous crowd outside this restaurant and finally got to try it. We came for a late lunch on a Sunday and it was bustling even after prime lunch hours. We got a wonton noodle soup, Peking pork chop lunch special, and the beef chow fun. Everything was delish! The beef chow fun had a good portion size and had the softest beef pieces. The Peking pork chop comes as a lunch special option which is ideal when you just want a piece or two per person. The wontons were flavorful and plump but the egg noodle and soup were a little lacking for me, contrary to the restaurant's name. If I had to get this next time, I would probably just get the wontons with no noodles. I've also tried the tang zai jook for take out before - many toppings and very flavorful! I recommend reheating this and adding a little water at home if you like a thinner consistency. Parking can be a challenge challenge but will probably be back soon!
I came here from NJ because my father wanted to try this place. It was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here from NJ. If I'm in the neighborhood, why not. The food was authentic, but some items missed the spot on taste. We ordered a lot of different things but nothing stood out. Solid 3 stars.

Authentic Cantonese Style food with fresh ingredients. The flavors are not too salty and the portions are pretty big. They have lunch specials on weekdays. It does get crowded after 1230pm on weekends. The wontons and watercress dumplings go well in any of the noodle options.

Had the curry beef over rice and the fish with tofu over rice. Both were absolutely delicious for a typical Hong Kong style lunch. My only complaint is the location. Parking can be a little tough during busy hours.

Good food definitely recommended, lunch is affordable during the weekdays, too bad I am in New Jersey or me and my family would visit more frequently

Always good, always reliable cantonese food. Their signature wonton soup is great, so are the congees and rice rolls. Can't go wrong with the basics here.
