Cantonese Restaurants near Queens, NY

“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.“

“This is my newest favorite in the wonton restaurant in New York. It is a tiny place, but the free tea is hot. I had the "trio" wonton with noodles, with additional vegetables, which are tender baby yuchoy. The trio wonton were all very good, but I can't say I could distinguish among the three types. All had crunchy shrimp, one said had watercress, although I couldn't figure which. The added vegetables, for an extra $2, was well worth it. The vegetable portion was large enough to merit a second bowl. It was a bargain at $12.50. I liked it so much that I ordered the same a few days later. The 3rd time I visited, I ordered wonton with stewed beef and with added vegetable. Again, it was very good, but the vegetable portion was significantly reduced, but the beef portion was large (very large for someone who rarely eats meat). I ordered this dish twice also.“

“Went here after Blackpink concert because my friends and I were starving and this is the only place that is not too crowded and still open at 11:30pm. The staff is very friendly, and the food is tasty. I was gonna order xiao long bao but it was taking too long and I was almost full, the lady kept on apologizing to me and she said I can get it next time. When I am back in flushing NYC I will go here and take my well deserved xiao long bao 🤣“

“It’s a cool spot for a quick bite! One of those quick lunches you can get while you’re on the go, in a convenient location. This place hits the spot for me when I don’t quite have time to sit down and have a full hour long meal but I still want to sit and enjoy my lunch, boom here’s my recommended spot!
I really do like how convenient the location is and I can be in and out and back to work in no time!“

“Delicious dim sum and pan fried flounder!“

“Delicious Cantonese food at King's Kitchen. I came here for Flushing restaurant week, and it was probably my favorite Flushing restaurant week find. They ran out of lava custard buns so they substituted the pork BBQ buns and they were delicious. The stir-fried purple cabbage and the fish head casserole were very good - both were made very very well, they tasted delicious and had perfect textures. Soup was good too. Very happy overall with my experience at King's Kitchen.“

“Efficient Vietnamese and Chinese BBQ restaurant. Food came out lightning face and service was efficient as well. Minimal talking.

Food was good and the price was fair with good value. 3 meats with rice plus veggies was $15 plus 18% gratuity automaticly added.

If you want a quick bite of authentic Chinese and or Vietnamese eats very good place to stop for a quick bite.“

“Edit: wanted to update my review that the beef brisket with curry sauce (C2) is crazy good!

Food was fine, never tried hot pot rice before this. It’s cool to see authentic Hong Kong style food in this neighborhood. Interior was comfortable and service was good. To be honest the food was kinda forgettable but I would come back to try other dishes“

“Oh man this steamed rice rolls where somebody and chewy and just flavor a bunch of flavor.“

“Had such an amazing dinner at Hong Kong Gourmet 避风塘 in Flushing (144-20 Northern Blvd). The food was so good — from the perfectly steamed fish with scallions, to the crispy roast meats, salt & pepper crab, braised sea cucumber, and even the fried pigeon 😋. Every dish are so good, flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right. We ended the night with bowls of warm red bean soup, the perfect sweet finish. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re craving authentic Cantonese flavors. Already thinking about what I’ll try next time!“

“Had a great time here with some friends for lunch. We got several dim sum items and then lunch specials which we shared. The lunch specials come with a soup that is so delicious - the broth was just unbelievable. Service was fine. The value is great! We spent less than $25 per person for our little lunch feast. I would definitely go here again.“

“Just ate here for dinner and had to review it right away! Hope this place can stay open, the prices are so affordable…which is just what we need in this impending recession…onto the food…we ordered a cauliflower dish, the Taiwanese sausage clay pot rice and the premium pepper beef clay pot rice. The rice on the bottom was toasted REALLY well! Super crunchy and tasty! Flavors were great and we had leftovers to take home for tomorrow’s lunch. Great spot.“

“Had a wonderful family-style dinner here! We ordered the char siu, noodles, and congee to share, and every dish was delicious. The char siu was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the noodles satisfied my craving, and the congee was comforting and full of flavor. Everything tasted homemade and was great for sharing with family. We'll definitely be coming back!“

“Recently came here to celebrate a birthday. The food is authentic and tastes amazing, the presentation has improved alot. The service was great and they do not charge a cake fee! Definitely recommend for dinner parties, will return for dimsum. Also there is parking located in the back, very convenient.“

“My family and I went here for Thanksgiving. We had a reservation and were able to get seated on time. The place was crowded with people waiting for tables. The food came out fast and was very good and flavorful. We had a turntable on our table and the food disappeared really fast as there were 14 of us. No pictures of the food. Just of the restaurant and our order. We ordered lobster, shrimp, chicken, calamari, beef, noodles, rice and veggies. 11 dishes were shared family style.“

“We got here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon just before it got busy. It’s a small and tight space with friendly service. The best things we tried were the shrimp rice rolls and watercress dumplings in pork bone soup - absolutely well made and really delicious. The quality and execution of the food today was much better than our previous visits. Highly recommend for a casual lunch spot.“

“Awesome food is a great location.“

“Beautiful interior, really authentic Chinese spot. A good amount of private rooms with Lazy Susans, rooms also have a TV and karaoke machine. I celebrated my birthday here and had a great time! They included free noodles, rice dessert, and wine. The food was so delicious, definitely worth checking out! Very good value and cheap prices for the amount of food provided.“

“Came for Mother’s Day with the family. Even though they were very busy, they honored our 1pm reservation. The food came quick. One time they mixed up an order but we let the waiter know and they quickly addressed the issue. Love this place.“

“The food is super fresh here! Got the geoduck, lobster, spotted snails, and oysters. They clean and cook the food to whatever method you want. The waiters and waitresses are also super caring and makes me feel seen as a customer as they swap out plates, add tea, and portion soups for everyone at the table. Good value, great taste, and solid service. Would come here again.“

“We have been to Shun Won many times, and this time we bought a whole roast duck and a whole scallion oil chicken. Both were delicious as usual, and the quality has been very consistent.

The roast duck has great flavor, and the meat is not dry. The scallion oil chicken looks a little different from other places because the color is more yellow, but that is just the appearance — it still tasted very good and the meat was tender.

There is usually a line every time we come, but the wait is not too bad. The staff comes out and takes orders from people in line, so you don’t have to wait until you get to the counter to order. That makes the line move faster.

The restaurant has an old-school Flushing Cantonese restaurant feel. We also saw many people dining in for breakfast, so next time we would like to come back and try their breakfast and other dishes.

Overall, this is a solid and reliable Cantonese restaurant with consistently good food. We’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“The food here is outstanding! So many great dishes. Sure… it’s not all modern and trendy with LED lightshows and fancy decor, but the food and service are what you go for. To start, the complimentary roasted peanuts are made in house… so good!… and not salty. One of my favorite dishes is the stuffed eggplant / stuffed peppers and tofu. Their Peking pork chops is one of the best around. Other family members love the eggplant with dried fish (not my thing). Other great dishes; shrimp with walnuts, beef chow fun, beef tendon casserole, water spinach, tofu and codfish casserole. Everything so good!!! Prices are reasonable.“

“Good Chinese's restaurant highly recommended I love the duck and roasted pig but I always heat up the meat because all the time for me I like my food hot especially if it's greasy and it be like room temperature but the flavor was good“

“My sister, auntie and I have been to this place. The three of us ordered the lunch special, which was beef with broccoli, fried tilapia, and bean sprouts. The service was wonderful, and the food was wonderful. The atmosphere was that the waiter was showing a king crab for people to take pictures, and many others.“

“The food was spot on, classic traditional Cantonese food. This place is really a hidden gem. Flavor was on point. The texture was good. Fried rice perfect. It was a very satisfying dinner to start off 2026.

Definitely recommend everything we ate tonight:
- Deep Fried salted anchovies
- fried Pig Intestines
- Water boiled sliced Beef
- Peking Pork Chop
- Mutton Brisket stew
- Golden/Silver Egg Fried Rice

I would recommend everything we ate. hard to find a spot on Cantonese Restaurant, this is it! I'm coming back soon“

“Dinner at 4:30. Very nice and quiet with great service. We loved all the dishes we ordered (see photo attached). Everything cooked perfectly including the scallops! I do wish the dishes a bit larger portions but they are delicious that Quality wins over Quantity. We ordered 4 dishes for 3 of us. Would come again“

“First time ordering and everything was delicious!! Clean , delicious, and not gloppy! Will be ordering from them regularly! The roast duck and sautéed green beans , dumplings , pork rolls , chicken lo mein , everything delicious!! Thank you again!!“

“Delicious Dim Sum. Fantastic traditional Chinese tasting assortments.“

“excellent food. there is always a little wait but that speaks to the excellence of the cuisine and how good the place is. if you go for dimsum it’s really affordable. it you opt for some of the entrees the prices are good but we tend to favor their lobster sticky rice which is so big we can rarely finish the entirety of two lobsters and it’s so incredibly delicious.“

“Hi. I work from home and I was just tooo lazy to cook. So I decided to try out this restaurant for two evenings back to back . The delivery service was great and the food was delicious and fresh . I ordered young chow fried rice and added beef, green plantains and boneless spare ribs and chicken wings and pork fries rice. Food arrived hot upon delivery and it was delicious ! Just enough sauce on the boneless ribs and plantains were cooked to perfection. Wings were thoroughly cooked . I will use this restaurant whenever I decide not cook after an exhausting day at work . I hope this helps someone! 😃“

“This is a very classic Cantonese restaurant, I would’ve believed you if you said I was in Guangzhou. Food was mid but maybe I was expecting too much. The rice rolls weren’t thin enough and the congee too thin and not flavourful enough. Nowhere as good as in Guangzhou. They have private function rooms and karaoke inside exactly like in Guangzhou.

It was trolley service though without a menu so you might struggle if you don’t speak Chinese.“

“Real ones know Queens don’t play about food.
Pulled up to Shun Wang in Elmhurst and went full savage mode on some real Cantonese classics. No fancy vibes, just serious flavor.
Roast Pig over rice? Crispy, juicy, zero mercy.
Roasted duck over white rice? Illegal levels of good.
Pork wonton noodle soup? Broth so rich it pays rent.
This is traditional Cantonese done the right way — friendly staff, big portions, no nonsense.
If you’re in Queens and not eating here, that’s on you.
Dine in or take out… just don’t miss it. 🍚🔥“

“Well, the service and food are excellent. Thank you for service the best dim sum in town.“

“I admire this spot! They offer superb meals, their menu is large, The chef in that place is a specialist, I like a lot eating all their dishes. The food is consistently of high qualtity, the attitude towards the guests is friendly. I frequently visit this restaurant and I was never discontended. I recommend this place.“

“must get: house special fried rice + crispy garlic chicken + pig ears cold appetizer + crab fish belly soup

i know this place has a plethora of lunch specials that everyone seems to come here for, but my family and i usually come here for dinner family style. the pig ears are spicy and aromatic, thinly sliced so it absorbs the flavors well. the house special fried rice is delicious with the raisins and crispy salted fish flakes! the walnut shrimp and mapo tofu were okay, would pass.

make sure to also ask about the free sliced oranges once you pay the check; i’ve noticed they don’t automatically bring it to non chinese speaking customers…“

“Best Chinese food entire NYC“
