    Trio of Spring Rolls cost a mere $2 without tax
    Gail B.

    Yelper Grub Adventures D. raves about this place. I could see why. The stick bean curd absorbed all the flavors that it was seasoned with: chili and sesame oil, as per my server Daniel. It is a cold appetizer that is made from dried tofu skin. Delicious! I cannot thank you enough for the recommendation, D. Now I will look for this chewy delight in any Asian restaurant that I patronize. I also ordered a trio of spring rolls. They were a crispy and tasty treat. Last time I came here, I devoured the beef sautéed noodle. It was succulent and prepared al dente. China Station is a Northern Chinese restaurant that specializes in hand pulled noodles. Black History Trivia: The first Africans in China arrived as gifts from the King of Kalinga in Java (pre-Islamic Indonesia) to the Tang emperor in 813 A.D. They were children who were treated as ornaments. Adult Africans were imported by Arab traders living in China. Some wealthy Chinese owned Black slaves and used them for hard labor or for work as doorkeepers. The Tang Dynasty's capital, Chang'an (present day Xi'an), was considered a golden age of cosmopolitan culture because foreigners redefined the Tang through dance, clothing, food, painting, religion and more. The Tang Dynasty ended in 907 A.D., leaving a legacy of racial integration. Yes, I got all this interesting info from Google, keyword: African slaves in China. Happy Lunar New Year everybody!!! It's the Year of the Tiger!!!! Let's all celebrate by eating some authentic Chinese food, lovingly prepared at the impressive China Station.

    This spot is located in the middle of no where lol... it's disgusting never eat here! The 2 overweight brothers definitely put in that extra special seasoning, from touching raw foods & money without washing there hands, then handling your cook food for you to consume. They don't give a damn what they feed you. Everything is made with as poor quality ingredients as possible. Come on look how dirty the workers are. I have witnessed the cook wiping his nose with his hand, then grabbing the cook dumplings with his paws and placing it in a plate for a customer to eat. The health department so shut them down! The cook & the other cook aka cashier are the definition of Nasty & Dirty! I can guarantee they use the bathroom number 2, then touch all the food on propose, just so they can laugh inside, when they serve it to all the patrons that eat here! I have never seen a establishment like this! Like I said Long Islanders don't know shit about goods Chinese food! And that is me keeping it 100!!!

    Beef with rice noodle
    Kevin C.

    This is the second time we are trying a Chinese restaurant here in Long Island. Having being spoiled of great authentic places in Queens, we decided to give this place a try and also taper our expectation at the same time. Price wise, it is definitely more expensive than ones in Queens, but onto the food. I got pork with dried bean curd with rice which also comes with vegetable and an egg. The rice portion was too much and price wise, it was about $14. My wife got the beef with rice noodle which didn't come in the big fat rice noodle and was more so the thin ones. My wife enjoyed it a lot. We also got order of fried dumplings. My only complaint is it could have been more fried. Also they didn't give any dumpling sauce. All in all, I would give this place a very strong 3 stars and will recommend based on today's visit. Will definitely visit this place again.

    Shareable with up to 4-5 people with $8-9 per person. If each person gets a side of rice ($1.5), it is a filling meal. Super addicting taste!

    Beef pulled noodles
    Joshua C.

    Really solid Chinese Noodle house nearby Stony Brook University and I have so far visited twice. The price is pretty good, most menu items 10.50 or under; since this place is more of a noodle house I would suggest eating here rather than take-out. The Food: The food was really good, the noodles actually seemed handmade and you can see them make it in the open kitchen. Many places advertise as hand-pulled noodles while using instant ones, but this place is legit. The beef noodles in broth were really good, had it twice. The bok-choy pork bun wasn't very good and the menu mediocre outside of their hand pulled noodles. Anything Else: Service was fine and the food came out really fast. Beware of limited seating.

    Delivery Review: 1) as a business you are supposed to be clear about tip and total payment. I was not impressed with the clarity let alone the customer service. 2) they're not clear about what ingredients they add in their soups. You could be a vegetarian and still not know what broth you're consuming. 3) I ordered a fishball handpulled soup extra spicy. It was hysterically spicy on a cold night so I was satisfied. However, there is so much oil that you cant consume the broth alone. Loved the noodles. 4) I ordered their scallion pancake and chicken dumplings. Both are low quality. The pancake was only refined flour in flat form. The skin of the dumplings are thick and inedible. They ask for a $5 tip for future notice. I believe they need to step up their game.

    Beef noodle stir fry and a pork bun! Amazingly good and super fast.
    Sebastian B.

    Kick ass good! I stumbled on this place and I happen to be lucky or good and finding the home run eateries and this didn't disappoint. I love the photo menu above the counter top. I love the super busy open kitchen, you get great food and a show! Hand made dumplings and buns! If I were local I'd eat here a couple time a week! My noodle dish was out of this world amazing, and the portion was humongous. If you see this review and don't eat at this joint you will regret not trying one of the greatest Asian joints I've been too anywhere in the Country!

    Not the best mapo tofu. Why would you put eggs and cabbage ?
    Jenny L.

    Didn't like their food much at all. Ordered mapo tofu and it is not good at all. This isn't the right way to make it. Other food wasn't even good too. Fried rice was dry and chicken was so soggy. Only thing that's good here or ok is the buns. Disappointed and upset. This place also desperately needs AC. I was afraid the sweats of the chef will go in the food. It's like 100 and they really need to spend money on AC

    Kiki L.

    Employees here are awful... I asked for a spicy tofu over rice, it was $8.25 before tax, and it also showing on their cashier machine. Then the cashier said $8.96. I asked "why your cashier machine showing $8.25 not $8.96. " He gave me a fierce glare, and said:"how do I know?" I said: if you didn't pay tax, then I would not pay you tax. He said:" do you want to see my tax bill" I said "Yes". Then he just give me some changes and leave me alone...... what attitude they have! I said "stay", waited on my couch for 10min, then he give a "carry" bag.... To be honest, the spicy tofu was awful, too much oil!!!

    check your food before putting into your mouth :)

    Check your food before putting anything into your mouth. This is not life-threatening, but its gross enough to make you feel sick.

    A lot of my friends really enjoy this restaurant. I have come here twice so far. It is great for Noodle soups and traditional Chinese buns. I generally am ok with the type of food but I do understand the hype backing this place. It is great for take out and seating in this restaurant is fairly limited seating. Their buns and noodles are hand made in the restaurant which is really unique. The environment is small and can only fit around 20 people. This place is good for taking out and I would not recommend going here for sit down at peak hours. My favorite aspect is this restaurant is close to campus and convenient when craving for authentic chinese food

    Beef Tendon Soup 10-27-2016
    Christina J.

    Makes ya sing the Campbell Soup song Mmmm Mmmm Good!. I was working in the area & was hoping there was Parking available across the street. No room for me until 3 days in. Score! Small eat in restaurant with EXCELLENT hand Pulled noodles. I ordered the beef Tendon. Super Rich Broth bathed the perfectly cooked noodles. Chewy yet tender. I wanted to try some other things the soup was so good I'm sure the dumplings were amazing. At least they looked good passing me by while I waited for my order. So stop in they have THE best noodles around. 11-11-2016

That's quite a mouthful, like their noodles! I believe the same broth is applied to all bowls so the only options you have to choose are either: hand pulled/hand cut noodles and your choice of meat, I prefer hand pulled. Now, I've had the house noodle bowl in the past in an effort to sample their meats. My conclusion is that the ribs are their best option. They are deceptively flavorful and fall off the bone easily. Their noodles have a great chew and mouthfeel while the broth is delicately beefy/porky. I love to jazz it up with the table vinegar and chili oil. As for serving size, these bowls are giant so you will leave full. If you still have some room though check out their oden selection. I like the fish cake/ball and chinese sausage varieties, they come with a lovely sweet and salty chili sauce that packs a punch. These noodles are truly splendid and even more so in the colder months.

The iced Vietnamese coffee is already premixed, but the hot version they give a side of the condensed milk so you can add as much or little you want.

The lemonade was nice and fresh tasting, the crispy wings were fantastic, and the banh mi was actually very tasty. Not the best I've had, but it was flavorful and the pickled veggies tasted fresh. I was very disappointed to find a moldy pepper, which ultimately ruined the experience for me. Hopefully, nothing I actually ate was bad, and this pepper was the only one that went missed in a kitchen check. I hate to turn folks away from a nice local spot with good tasting food, but I will never recommend a spot with moldy food.

When we walked in, the restaurant felt run-down and it was freezing inside. It was so cold that my entire family kept our winter jackets on the whole meal ,I even had to keep my hood up. We noticed other diners were also wearing their coats, which says a lot. I repeatedly had to ask for hot tea just to stay warm. Service was also lacking. The waiter was inattentive, and despite the restaurant not being busy, no one came by to check on us or ask how the food was. As for the food: * The soup dumplings had almost no soup inside, and the dough was thick and heavy. * The egg and tomato soup was completely bland and had almost no flavor. One thing that may explain the high number of reviews: there's a QR code on the wall offering free bubble tea in exchange for leaving a review. That definitely makes the rating feel inflated. Honestly, if this restaurant were located in Flushing, it probably wouldn't last long given the level of competition and food quality standards there. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Red Tiger based on our visit

The rest of the food were mostly misses, the worst being the Kalbi. The flavor was a little too sweet but in a teriyaki sauce kind of way, not the Korean pear/sugar/soy sauce way. The seafood pajeon was too burnt and did not have any seafood, almost all batter. The banchan was ok but the kimchee was a little too ripe. Service was a little show because they were short staffed according to our waiter. So all in all, just not a great experience. I would probably be a little more lenient but prices are similar to Flushing/Bayside even though I would assume their overhead was lower.
