    General Tso Chicken  combo plate (white meat)
    Angela P.

    We moved to the area from Astoria a year ago and have been in search of some good Chinese takeout. We have seen a lot places but were worried about trying them. We were craving Chinese and didn't feel like driving far to get it (like we always do) so, we took the plunge and tried this place and here's the verdict: The food was pretty good except, the dumplings were strange. Not your typical doughy, super fried dumplings but, were good. The chicken with broccoli (my husbands dish) was Not that good. It really lacked flavor and was just bland. However the fact that the chicken wasn't "weird" made it better! The General TSO's Chicken was the BEST of the items we ordered. Amazing flavor, all white meat (as requested) beautiful! The egg rolls were really good too! Then on another note, the pork fried rice was extremely flavorless and had maybe 8 little bits of pork in it. It was dry and just bland, no flavor at all. Staff is very nice though. All in all, we will definitely order from here again. We know which items we liked and which we didn't and every time we will just keep trying new items and weave out the good and the ones not worth getting again! Glad we tried it though. Very Good for a first time experience.

    If I could give no stars I would. Found a bug in my food. Will never eat here ever again, so gross. Reporting to the health department.

    Tried this Chinese restaurant out due to it being open till 10 pm for delivery. Saw that on seamless it had great reviews. When I was checking out the menu I saw that one of the most popular items was the General Tso chicken. I haven't had a good general Tso in so long. When I opened the bag I was firstly very surprised that the chicken with the sauce was separated with the broccoli. I cut the chicken in half after taking a small whiff of it and the first bite was magical. I was in love. I thought it couldn't get any better than this. The perfectly cooked chicken with the amazing sauce was fantastic. Then I tried the broccoli. How can someone mess up broccoli? Oh believe me they can. But not here! The broccoli was delicious and crisp and tasted fresh. The brown rice was the cherry on top. Most places have chewy or overly cooked brown rice, here....it was perfectly fluffy. Needless to say this has got to be one of the top Chinese restaurant places I've tried so far in NY. Kudos to the chef! Thank you for an amazing dinner.

    Seriously the best Chinese takeout I've had since moving to Whitestone. It's all so delicious. Delivery is fast, food is consistent, and the lady who runs it (I think her name is Beth) is a total sweetheart. Prices are great and the quality is phenomenal. I'll never order anywhere else.

    Something quick after grueling day. Take out soup

A tad too oily, but less than other restaurants. Sadly, if my favorite dish were the snow pea tips, then the entrees were alright. This place is pricier than other restaurants in flushing, but I believe their portions are bigger, or at least it seemed to be. The twice cooked pork had potential to be really good, but it was a bit too bland. The many spices pork and taro was more like sweet and sour. The taro were great. The pork I felt was a bit too sweet. The fried duck and taro sticks were also too sweet. If it wasn't sweet, it would've been great! The drunken chicken was surprisingly very flavorful. I think this place have done the best cold, chicken appetizer I've had in NYC. The fried rice was a bit of a letdown. It was very peppery and I didn't taste any notes of truffle. The braised beef was also a disappointment. Not too flavorful and a bit sweet.

Only warning is that they don't seem to have veggies - they were out of nearly all veggie options when we went at 11:30am. See pics for specific dish recs!

    Would you like to be transported back in time to ancient china?…read more How about just testing your spice tolerance to see if you can hang with the best? Well, if you want all of that, PLUS hot pot, look no further - this is the place to be! There is a reason this is one of the highest recommend spots to visit when you're in Flushing. First off, entrance? SO UNASSUMING. It's like, the tiniest door, with no real obvious signage. Once you go through, you basically feel like you're in one of the ancient alleys of China - decor is 1000% great. We had a larger party of 7, and they were luckily able to accommodate us since we lined up a few minutes before opening on a Friday. We actually got IMO the best seats in the house - towards the back, elevated up on some steps, a mini pavilion essentially. But enough about the decor.. how was the food? Well.. GREAT! And honestly, for NYC prices, not too expensive (but a bit pricy for flushing I guess). The quality was top notch (highly recommend trying the mala quail eggs) and the spice of the broth was GREAT! We went with medium since our server (amazing btw, thank you Sean / Shawn / Shaun??) said that he can't even go near hot, it burns his eyes. Medium was just perfect - felt great eating it with some sweats, regretted it the day after, which means I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Meats were good quality, veggies were yummy. I wish the shrimp paste had more in terms of quantity, we barely had seven bites for each of us, but it was really good. Also, pro tip, probably don't order Napa Cabbage, a lot of their other dishes will sit on top of a whole leaf, so you'll probably get enough from that unless you want to consume half a head. Sauce bar is $2 a person - which might be shocking for some to know they charge it, but it's pretty much the norm at a higher end hot pot place in big cities. At least they don't charge $6-$8 like some places and only throw in a few apps/desserts to try to justify it. Overall, really loved this place, and would definitely go back.

The bowl that our mushrooms came in was rusted... kind of ruined my whole experience. At least server was super nice and attentive. Wouldn't come back though.

That being said, the food is the primary focus. Service was reasonably attentive, with the waitstaff checking on us a few times.

It's very spicy with the signature Sichuan peppercorn, so if you're not into numb spicy, considered yourselves warned. We specifically loved the pig trotters. I've never had them like that before anywhere, so it's definitely a chefs special. They were made crispy on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. Highly recommend. All the other dishes were also fantastic. Portions are also great, we ended up taking lots home. They gave us free dessert jellies which is also a classic Sichuan dessert; they also had a deal where you get free drinks if you order a certain amount of food, so we got two free drinks. I would have given a five star if not for the super long wait. Granted we did go for Christmas Day dinner. We saw them having to turn away lots of customers. They are super popular. Main issue is there isn't a number system, so getting a table felt a bit random; we considered ourselves lucky. Our servers were very friendly and nice. They told us it would be a bit of a wait, but this was the longest I've ever waited for food: 45 min before the first dish was served. We ordered 5 dishes with rice (forgot to take pictures of two of them). I wasn't told one of the dishes I ordered wasn't available until 30 min after I placed my order. But when the food did come, they all can't together so we didn't have to keep waiting. The servers were also attentive after despite how busy and clearly overwhelmed they were, which was really nice. In conclusion, great food with good portions for spice lovers. Very nice servers and try not to go on Christmas Day since it can get really busy.

The Beef Tenderloin in Brown Sauce is to die for. I loved the Minted Salted Egg Yolk and Sliced Pumpkin so much that I will come back here to order it for Thanksgiving dinner. If you can handle the spice, go for the Fried Squid Head with Spicy Peppery Sauce. It was the table favorite because most of us prefer the head or tentacles of calamari to the rings. The Molten Sugar-Crusted Yams and Dates were phenomenal. It came with a bowl of water on the side to remove stickiness from the serving spoon between helpings. We also feasted on the Sautéed Shredded Beef with Spicy Pepper, Cumin Lamb, Sliced Potatoes with Truffles and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The pickled salad certainly tickled my fancy. TIP: Eat everything with chopsticks for portion control. Thank you Andie for putting this all together, and the birthday cake that Mike bought for you was a decadent surprise because it was so chocolatey and moist.
