“Delicious food.Best service.Thank you.“

“😍My very first time here. I was served by Jason, food captain. I guess I was spoiled by his hospitality because I tell you, WHEN I return, if I not being served by him, I'm not going. Every now and again you come across a server who truly enjoys making people fell comfortable, that's Jason, in a nutshell. The food was extraordinary, complimented by spectacular recommendations and hospitality!!!!“

“I am vegetarian and love to get the scallion and ginger stir fry with seitan. You can order it light/med/high spice level to your preference. The noodles are so tasty and you can really tell they are fresh. The mango tea is an awesome lightly sweetened beverage addition to balance the spice of the noodles.“

“I was the last customer and they still greeted me with a smile and welcoming atmosphere and was really quick with the food. First time trying it and the food was delicious Like I still can’t forget about it I wish they have way more locations in Brooklyn🥹. I got beef (mid spice) and chicken (mild), both with rice and the cucumber salad and dumplings 🥺 the best I had ever had🔥♥️ Definitely taking all of my friends and family there🤤“

“Very nostalgic and homey atmosphere, as well as friendly and welcoming staff.

The prices are very reasonable for the area ($10 or less). Cash/Venmo preferred.

Their best dishes are the braised pork, hands down. Very tender and fatty. For beef noodle, their beef is tender and the soup is flavorful, but the noodle texture can be better, it was too soggy.

The 3 cup chicken and eggplant are too sweet, in my opinion. The potsticker filling were also just alright, but i like how they pan fried it.“

“This is one of my favourite restaurants in Flushing! (which is saying a lot) I probably come by at least once a month if not more frequently.

They can be a bit busy during peak lunch/dinner hours on weekdays, but service/turnover is quick and they are efficient with using the shared long table in the centre of the restaurant, so I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes to be seated.

I usually get one of the guo qiao rice noodle (過橋米線) options - obviously that’s their speciality; my favourites are the fatty beef 肥牛過橋米線 and the “xiu cai” 秀才過橋米線.

Each order comes a bunch of ingredients - meat(s) and small plates of side toppings - separately from broth and the rice noodles. Some orders on other tables had the dishes plated on a small wooden (eponymous) bridge or a staircase, which looked super cool!

After they bring all the food to your table, the waitress puts in all the ingredients, meat, and noodles in the broth in front of you and mixes. This is traditionally part of the guoqiao rice noodles experience, and I guess this is also good if you like taking aesthetic food spread photos, because the final product doesn't really showcase all the yummy toppings.

Anyway, it’s always super delicious. The broth is really rich and smelled wonderful; not too salty or oily, and it was nice to sip on each bite with the noodles and at the end of the meal as well.

Fatty beef was super delicious - very thinly sliced, tender, juicy, and its flavour cooking in the soup really made the broth just that extra bit savoury. The other cuts of meat (e.g. sliced pork, fish) are all pretty good, but nothing spectacular.

The toppings are also really solid. The 香酥 (I have no idea what this is called in English but the crispy/fried brown thing) was surprisingly tasty; not too oily or heavy and paired really nicely with the broth. I also like the tofu skin, wish they would have given more.

Overall a very great meal and very filling - portion sizes are already pretty big, and I think you can ask for more noodles for free (although I’ve never done so). Price point is super affordable, and for such a nice sit-down place in Flushing I think it's more than worth every dollar.“

“I went in baro 1376 on Wednesday night because of my friend recommendation and it was worth it. Especially the girl was so friendly, pretty and her hospitality was very impressive. Definitely a 10/10 best chicken momo and thakali set and the service was the best. ??“

“I have eaten there many times and have always been happy with the food. The staff is very helpful and the restaurant is very relaxing .“

“Big portions (for me), I was about 70% full and I found more noodles and beef at the bottom. The broth was pretty delicious. I got the classic spicy beef noodle with the spicy level toned down. They were very generous with the amount of beef, there was also crispy peanuts.“

“Food was great. But make sure to order non spicy if you normally do mild or medium. Their mild tasted like hot to me… affordable price with limited seating. But the rice noodles were amazing. Had to take one star off because of the extreme heat. I was sweating by simply sitting there and eating the noodles :(“

“Good is good, place is clean & service is good“

“The grilled pork chop plate was on the money“

“On a chilly winter day, Ji Bei Chuan is the perfect spot for hot, delicious soup rice noodles! Ji Bei Chuan offers some of the best fish maw soup, and they definitely don’t skimp on the fish maw, vegetables, and other ingredients.

The Fish Maw Soup Rice Noodles is a great example of the restaurant’s decent quality in food preparation. The noodle soup is filled with great portions of ingredients and a hot, hearty soup that actually tastes of fish maw. Their Fish Soup Rice Noodles also doesn’t disappoint. The soup is made with chicken and pork bone, and it goes really well with the abundance of vegetables and fish slices!

Overall, I’m eager to try out their other soup noodles on my next visit as well as their popular mixed noodles!“

“Currently my favorite restaurant in LIC at the end of 2024. Portions are large and prices are on the lower end. Juicy Lamb and Drooling Chicken are both really tasty. Surprised they're not that busy given the quality of the food, I guess it's the location but it's right next to a luxury high rise and very safe.“

“Got takeout recently. Food was very good. We had pork jowls, crab Rangoon, curry puff, papaya salad. Drunken noodles with chicken. All very good. If you’re unfamiliar the pork jowls are leaner than pork belly. Very tasty. Would order again. Recommend. Well packaged for delivery.“

“Great Place to eat, very friendly staffs and great tasting food.“

“The store's handmade ramen is the most famous. Its beef noodles are very good and is everyone's first choice. The peanut butter spicy oil noodles are also very tasty and are our second choice. The scallion pancakes are also fried very crispy. Their soy sauce is Sweet soy sauce. General Tso's chicken is a favorite choice for children. The food is served quickly and the service is good at a reasonable price. Will come back again.“

“Delicious food, prompt delivery!“

“This is definitely an out of the ordinary ramen restaurant. To start with, you have a remote hostess ? then you are encouraged to order and pre-pay your food from your table. Fortunately, the restaurant was not full and the waiter had the consideration to take our order ?

The food was good ? I ordered a black mountain ramen, which had an earthy pleasant taste. We also ordered edamame, and gyozas ? everything was good

The ambience was spacious and nice and the service was also good ?“

My favorite spot to get boiled dumplings in Elmhurst! I’m a bit biased - I grew up in this neighborhood, so Lao Bei Fang is very nostalgic to me. When you see the bright red awning, you know you’re at the right spot. The pork and leek boiled dumplings here are very hearty, meaty, and super juicy. They’re thicker-skinned dumplings which are definitely going to leave you full. Came here last week with my husband for a fast, casual experience with cafeteria-style seating and good dumplings. A box will fill you up quick in this no-frills restaurant. Don’t forget to load up on the chili oil, soy sauce, and hot sauce!

2024 pricing-
? $3 for (4) pork & leek fried dumplings
? $6 for (8) pork & leek boiled dumplings

Still cash only & we noticed that the prices for the dumplings haven't increased for a couple of years now! My fiance and I ordered the #1 Pork & Leek Fried Dumpling (8 pieces, $4.25), #2 Pork & Leek Boiled Dumplings (8 pieces, $4.25), and #44 Scallion Pancakes w/ Beef ($4.50). Had a pretty mediocre meal at Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House last night though. The fried dumplings were much too charred and dry, compared to the previous times we've had meals here. The scallion pancake was not appetizing at all, being too thick and flavorless. The limp lettuce and the 2 thin beef circles didn't go well together either. At least the Pork & Leek Boiled Dumplings were still good - next time we'll just stick with multiples of that dish!

Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House is always a good comfort food stop, if you're in the mood for some delicious greasy foods. My boyfriend and I came here after a day of rock climbing and it really hit the spot. We ordered the #1 Pork & Leek Fried Dumpling (8 pieces, $4.25), #2 Pork & Leek Boiled Dumplings (8 pieces, $4.25), and #28 All-in-one House Special Hand-Pulled Noodle Soup ($8.75). Filling, good portions, and reasonably priced. Street parking could be a bit tricky, but is available (metered and free). Cash only, and they call your number when your order is ready!“

“Hope you enjoy this story.

I got to know the Borgatti family due to a commercial that some of you may have already seen on Facebook. They used my voice for their limerick.

You can see the video and pictures here. While I live in Florida they shipped me down a couple boxes and my wife just made our first serving. Her Cuban flair added some garlic, red pepper and we topped it off with some delicious marinara sauce.

I grew up in Delaware with a mother who was surrounded in her youth by Italians in West Virginia and could make some incredible spaghetti and meatballs. However, I've never had ravioli this good!

If you get ever get up to New York City area, making an effort to go visit Borgatti's ravioli and egg noodles in the Bronx. Tell them Hank sent you.“

“Great Uyghur food (similar to Uzbek/Georgian with a hint of Chinese thrown in). Highly recommend the laghman and pearl noodles (very chewy and flavorful). Lamb kebabs were perfect. Big plate chicken was spicy and tender, with more hand pull noodles dumped on top. Samsas were juicy and crispy. A great dish was the cumin mushrooms, highly recommend. Shout out to being open on Thanksgiving.“

“I was blown away by the Taiwanese Braised pork over rice at TiHu The Noodle House. Their sauce was rich and bursting with flavor, perfectly complementing the tender pork and rice texture. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the service is attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys Taiwanese cuisine!“

“Great dining experience. Superb cuisine!!“

“food is so good! the staff is lovely. very welcoming and inviting.“

“My brother and I came here for steamy, wonton noodle soup on a cold evening in Flushing. At a 6:40 pm arrival, the staff was kind enough to take our order despite having to close 20 minutes later. We both ordered the three topping noodle soups: he had egg noodles and beef tendon while I had flat rice noodles and beef stew. We had wontons and fish balls in both of our soups as well.

I’m not embellishing when I say this—the food was spectacular. Broth was clean and comforting, beef was tender and flavorful, the wontons were bigger (and better) than expected, and the fish balls went really well with the soup. You could also spice it up with condiments too. For about $13, Maxi’s offers a superb deal. That’s right. They set the bar high.

Tl;dr: Maxi’s Noodle’s has some of the best wonton noodle soups you can get at an affordable price from a staff with incredible hospitality. With their small yet cozy interior, this place is perfect for cold, fall/winter nights. Go visit ‘em!“

“Had the pad thai, chicken and basil and curry. All on point at a reasonable price. $15-20 per person with decent serving size for a lunch special. Owners so pleasant makes you want to keep coming back. Must have if you’re in the mood for thai food in the ditmars/ queens area.“

“Food is amazing every time“

“Great food at reasonable prices, though seating is limited with just a few tables available.

I tried the beef noodle soup, dan dan noodles, and pork potstickers, opting for light spice on both noodle dishes. While the beef noodle soup was satisfying, the real standouts were the dan dan noodles and pork potstickers.

The dan dan noodles had a perfect balance of spice and a rich, nutty flavor from the sesame paste and crushed peanuts, combined with savory ground pork. The pork potstickers were packed with flavor, wrapped in a delicate, thin wrapper that was perfectly crisped.“

“I found this place from uber eat, we ordered some food . I called the restaurant asking for spicy sauce and Sean the guy was nice and giving me what i want. The good that we otdered was pad thai, thai fried rice, mango shrimp salad and chicken satay. We loved the fried rice, the salad and the chicken satay. The pad thai for us a bit too salty but overall we like the food.“

“I gave this place five stars for one reason only: I wanted the people to read my review. If I gave one star, the review would be pushed back to the end. My review... Worst food we ever had in our lives!! Bland and expensive. It came with none of the toppings we ordered!! Tasteless and dry. I suspect the food was kept in the heat for most of the day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS S...HOLE!!!! It should be reported and closed. I can only imagine the unsanitary conditions of the place. Restaurants that do not care about the quality of their products do not care about hygiene.“

“Ordered for delivery.

The beef noodle soup with seafood was excellent. Beef was savory and cooked properly. Rating 8/10

They use the same noodles in everything and the noodles are great. They are long, soft and chewy.

The jjajang sauce was very flavorful and mixed well with the noodles. Rating 8/10

The cream fried shrimp reminds me of walnut shrimp from Chinese restaurants. Shrimps are big. The frying is good. The sauce taste like mayo, honey and a bit of mustard. 8/10“

“We walked in and it was pretty vacant however, it was lunch time on a Monday so that wasn't much of a surprise. It had a large selection of noodles, if you walk in and see the wall you'll see all the various options and then some. It was a little ambiguous until we saw the kiosk. The food however, was amazing. We got the beef and the duck duck noodles. You do have to make your own noodles and the instructions are on the tray on how to do it. Would definitely try again!“

“Great food. Large portions!“

“Finally I tried this place, always been curious ever since last year. I ordered fried rice, seaweed egg soup, shredded beef with pepper and fried chicken cutlet. The seaweed egg soup just a lil bit too salty but other than that its really good. I think the best.

Fried chicken cutlet was good, then the shreded beef, how can I say. I like the taste, but I was expecting they cook it lil bit longer, like more burnt/browniesh as that what I always remember about shredded beeef dish from any taiwanese restaurant.

Fried rice was okay. I cant complaint.“

“I don't often review places but this spot is great.

I was slightly worried when we walked in and the staff was amazingly friendly (atypical of your standard Chinese spot). Bantering with customers and laughing and giving out hugs, knowing customers' preferred seating. Super attentive and friendly.

Food came out and was legit.
Soup dumplings were hot and juicy, skin was thin but doesn't break, overall well seasoned.
SJBs had crispy bottoms and fluffy tops, perfect texture.
Rice cakes had wok hay and massive flavor.
Salt Pepper Squid was hot and crispy, with well seared onions/peppers & deep fried shallots to top.

Solid place. Will def go back and try their more Canto focused dishes next time (which looked delicious too).“

“Excellent dim sum place right off the main drag, I much prefer it to anywhere in Manhattan or even Sunset Park. We got pan fried noodles with pork, pan fried pork buns, soup dumplings (regular and with squash), turnip cakes, fried bean gluten, and shrimp dumplings. Everything was excellent, service fast, great prices. Two people stuffed themselves and got enough leftovers for an additional meal for like $60. Particularly impressed with the noodles, and the shrimp dumplings, chock-full of big hearty chunks of shrimp cooked just right. Don’t over-order like we did but do go.“

“Love the customer service and food as well as setting.“

“This was the perfect Kalguksoo for this cold and windy day!

Bajirak Kalguksoo’s soup was so good and the clams were very fresh 🙌 and my favorite was the Okonomiyaki pancake which is their signature dish 🤭
You have to try this when you come here!

And the staff was very friendly 😉“

“Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back!“

“My son who is a picky eater slurped the broth and ate the karaage. The ramen had a good chew to it too :)“

“Ichiran is a paradise for true ramen lovers! As a ramen enthusiast, I can confidently say that their ramen is exceptional in both flavor and texture. The rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles create an unforgettable taste that keeps you coming back for more.

What really stands out is the ability to customize your ramen to your liking – from spice level to noodle firmness. The atmosphere at Ichiran is designed to let you fully enjoy the experience, with individual booths that allow you to focus solely on the incredible taste without distractions.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to savor authentic Japanese ramen. Ichiran sets a high standard, and as a devoted fan, I’ll definitely be back!

“I have come here many times after badminton in NYBC.
it's always great and delicious.
Love the roujiamo here，especially in fall and winter. Please come and try！

Kid-friendliness: A restroom inside.“

“I had an amazing experience at Yoodon! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy, clean environment that made me feel comfortable right away. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to help with any questions about the menu. They made sure everything was perfect, from the presentation to the service. Their genuine care for customers really stood out, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Yoodon for anyone looking for delicious food in a great setting!“

“Wonderful hidden gem. Food was amazing. Combination of classic old world with new world flare. Entire staff worked as a team. Presentation was lovely as well. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely experience.“

“I’m a fan of this corner cafe. It’s right in the heart of Little Thailand and they have sweet and savory dishes to try. I had Thai hotpot for the first time here and it was much different than the hotpot I’m used to eating, but I liked it. It was much more intense in flavor with more notes of acidity. They also have an amazing duck noodle soup and the boat noodles that I’d recommend. The dessert option is great too, I didn’t know what to expect from the Rooty Tooty but it was perfectly sweet. The staff here were super nice as well, we definitely felt welcomed here!“

“Best Momos in town..must try…👍🏻👍🏻“
