i am originally from Hong Kong, so when i saw 39 prince cafe said it is a hk style restaurant, i wanted​ to challenge it. for the first time we ordered some fried calamari, stewed beef noodles, and hot drinks. food was really really good, hot drinks were super huge size. service was very welcoming. ambiance was comfortable, enough rooms between tables, wouldn't feel crowded. 2nd time we backed there for dim sum, it was really really good, even better than those big Chinese restaurants. 3rd time we ordered a tofu roasted pork pot, garlic veggies, roasted duck for appetizer. every time we enjoyed the food so much, so healing for my homesick. definitely is one of the best hong kong style restaurant in new york. its a shout out every time when we paid. extremely easonable price. love to eat there. read more

We wanted a dim sum fix and we randomly stopped since we were in the area. The food is ok, no complaints. The service was fine, they are not warm but it's not a big deal. What we ordered: - Shrimp Dumplings - Pork Siu Mai - Steamed Short Rib - Steamed Chicken Feet - Rice Rolls w. Shrimp - Soupy Dumplings We placed our order and most of our items came out around the same time. We noted to her that the Steamed Short Ribs didn't come out yet. Shortly after they came out. Then awhile later she came out with a Spare Ribs with Garlic dish. We declined it because we knew we didn't order it, we thought it was just at our table mistakenly. She brought it back to the kitchen then a man came saying that it was ours. We explained that we already got the ribs we ordered and she must have not understood when we were asking for our missing item as us ordering a different item. He understood and took it back. Won't become our go to dim sum spot but it was good for what it was. read more

39 Prince Cafe - Dim Sum Near Me - Flushing, New York

While waiting for wife and daughter to arrive, and continuing our day of shopping and eating in downtown Flushing, my sister wanted to try this restaurant for lunch. It was a decent size space - clean and casual. The service was excellent, and the food came out quickly. The menu is pretty extensive - see pictures. My sister ordered a Beef Chow Fun which, although not bad, was pretty average, nothing to write home about. I ordered the Korean Short Ribs with Rice. Although it was not much to look at, the ribs were juicy and tender, perfectly cooked, seasoned, and full of flavor - a winner. The cost before tip and without drinks totalled a reasonable $32.56. I'll rate this eatery a solid 4 stars, and definitely will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Theyre open until 4am!!!! Im giving like 4.5!!! I went here with my friends for a late might food crawl. I was afraid that their hours may be compromising the taste but that was never the case!!! I would say the pork ribs with garlic and curry anything and the desserts were to DIE FOR. We ordered the egg yolk buns and the yellow cake twice, we just had to. It was well lit and nice inside, and it was nice to see people hanging out over dim sum chilling at 3am!! read more

Ordered delivery. The dim sum was delicious loved the shumai it was hefty and juicy,the short rib had a nice pepper seasoning, the tripe was really flavorful in a nice ginger sauce. The curry beef was the best from everything it was tender and the curry was wonderfully delicious and last but not least the wonton noodle soup had a really soothing broth with huge wontons and bok choy. Definitely enjoyed and would order again. Almond milk tea also tasted great. read more

Queens in general and Flushing in particular have long been destinations for global diversity. Flushing's Chinatown is one of three major Chinese communities in New York's five boroughs and is considered by many to have been eclipsed by its sister in Manhattan in both size and quality. Located off of Prince Street in Flushing, we decided to stop in at this popular late-night (until the wee hours of the morning at 4 am) Hong Kong-style establishment, 39 Prince Cafe (利苑食坊), for an early dinner. Upon entering as first-timers, the well-lit interior evokes a casual welcoming vibe full of warmth. My partner, my cousin, and I got a table in the back. Their extensive menu features Cantonese cuisine with a wide variety of comfort food, dim sum, noodles, congee, fried rice, and sizzling platters. We decided on Wonton Soup (淨雲吞), Beef Chow Fun (乾炒牛河), Yang Chow Fried Rice (揚州炒飯), and Pan Fried Noodle with Seafood (海鮮炒麵). Complimentary hot tea started our meal. The food came out piping hot, deliciously authentic, and fresh in flavor, creating something that is affordable, satisfying, and nostalgic. The portion was healthy. The staff was attentive and efficient. Great for late meals and worth a trip! read more

Read the reviews and it's either really good or really bad. I had a cold and really wanted a bowl of congee. Thankfully they accepted credit cards since I didn't have any cash on me. The congee came out in a relatively short time along with a box of crullers. 2 fried dough cut up in half and it was a bit on the small side (see picture). The congee was pretty good though it's a bit on the expensive side. It was what I needed so I'm not complaining on telling you the expectation so you aren't caught by surprise. read more

After a late evening at US Open Fan Week, we headed to downtown Flushing in search of dinner. Our first choice was a soup dumpling restaurant but it was at least a 1/2 hour wait. We headed across the street 39 Prince Cafe and it was our first time here. We were seated immediately and didn't see any signs that they accepted credit cards. The first thing we did was gather the cash on hand to make sure we had enough to order. We ordered fish filet congee, diced chicken with corn dish, Chinese broccoli and beef pan fried noodles. I forgot to take pics since we were hungry. Portions were decent, prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. They also serve bubble tea. Thanks to a fellow Yelper, i learned they now accept credit cards. Service was friendly and efficient and it is a cozy restaurant with contemporary decor. Nice to able to find another HK style comfort food restaurant. read more

Chinese restaurant at a corner in the busy area of Flushing New York. The service was good. Inside is nice and clean. We went for lunch and ordered chicken feet, beef chow fun, fried rice with salted fish , salt and pepper tofu and roasted duck. To me the salt and pepper tofu was a little burned because it tasted a little bitter. Other than that we enjoyed the dishes. No parking close to the restaurant. We had to park about 3 blocks away. read more

This is a hidden gem in Flushing. The food is always fresh and the pricing is great. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I usually order the Preserved Egg and Pork Congee; the Wonton noodle soup and the Shu Mai. The congee always has great flavor and i love the shrimp wontons in the noodle soup. Shu Mai is a classic dim sum that I can never get tired of eating. read more

I came in for a quick meal for lunch on Monday at 1PM. The restaurant was quite empty so the service was quick. I ordered the Korean Short Rib with rice. I haven't had short ribs in probably a year, so it was very captivating in taste. The rice and the ribs go really well together and I would recommend to try. I am feeling hungry now as I am thinking about it. Definitely coming back for a quick bite/meal. read more

Good food and bubble tea. Love the pork chop pepper sauce with egg fried rice. It's my place for late night eats

Came here for their dim sum which they serve even for dinner. It was delicious! We also tried their crab rice cakes. This was pretty average. There seemed to be NO crab in the dish. Additionally the rice cakes were unflavorful, but texture was good. We also tried their chow mein which was really good! Surprisingly, the service here was kind and nice and they paced our dishes correctly. Overall, would come back but only stick to the dim sum dishes. read more

Avoid this place. I ordered a wonton and mein (noodle) dish, but what I got was completely different. The noodles were thin--not what I expected--and they forgot to bring the soup broth. When I asked, they eventually brought out plain hot water with no flavor at all. I didn't mind the wrong noodles until I bit into the so-called wonton. It had a tiny, dried-up shrimp inside. I don't even like shrimp, and that wasn't mentioned anywhere. I also tried one of the dim sum platters, which were just okay--not worth a second visit. I didn't complain at the restaurant, but when I got home, I ended up with a stomach ache. The service was terrible. I had to struggle just to get their attention to bring the broth and soy sauce. They won't even bother to refill your water. Definitely not coming back. read more

39 Prince Cafe - The food was not picture worthy. - Dim Sum Near Me - Flushing, New York

I ordered pickup from 39 Kings Cafe for a late night bite after arriving in NY and was pleasantly surprised! The shrimp lo mein was delicious and flavorful. The chicken wings were just okay.. tasty but a bit too small. I really enjoyed the curry fishballs, especially the flavorful curry sauce and also addition of potatoes. I also got boba, which was cheap but good with chewy tapioca pearls. This spot is perfect for a late night craving or quick takeout due to its hours. Prices are super reasonable, and the staff are hardworking and polite. Solid place for food read more

This place USED to be amazing - and when I say used to, I'm talking about pre 2018. I don't know what happened in the last few years, but it's changed dramatically. I came here for lunch the other day with my mother, and we got their Beef Brisket Noodle Soup, Hong Kong Style Lo Mein, Honey with Fresh Lemon Slices, and Hong Kong Style Red Bean Ice. Their beef brisket noodle soup was just okay. It was a bit too salty for my liking, but at the same time it felt a bit bland. The lemon drink as fine, but I was a bit thrown off with their menu options. It felt a bit limited compared to a few years ago. Their char siu was a bit sweet, and the hong kong style lo mein, didn't really look like hong kong style lo mein. It was a bit odd. read more

Name one other place where you can get dimsum at 3 am in the morning! You just can't! This place isn't somewhere I'd frequent in the day time.

Their yang chow fried rice is delicious as well as their beef chow fun! read more
