What a hidden unassuming GEM, right in the middle of Franklin Square! This restaurant is family…read moreowned/run and has been in business for about 2 years. The restaurant is smallish and can probably seat up to 18ppl. This is a unique Harbin restaurant (the Capital region of a Providence in Northeast China). This authentic cuisine is hard to find; even in Flushing, Queens! On their store awning, it states "We Make Real Chinese Food".... They ain't kidding!! Note: Closed on Tuesdays! We went for lunch on a Saturday, and the restaurant was full of Asian people. There was a steady flow of Asians the entire 2.5 hrs we were there! (Yes, we had a leisurely 2.5 hr lunch; catching up with friends from out of town. lol) Our menu (shared by 4 adults, 1 child): -- House Special Dumplings ($18/12pcs): we ordered these boiled. Tasty; especially with the chili sauce and vinegar. -- Sauteed Tofu Sheet w.Chili Peppers $18: traditional Northeast China dish. Good but would have been better with more chili peppers. We added chili oil for an extra kick. -- Double Cooked Pork w.Sweet & Sour Sauce $20: Excellent dish! Preparation is very unique! There was no actual sweet & sour "sauce" but rather, the sweet & sour condiments were cooked into the batter of the pork. Loved this dish! Get this! -- Mala Lamb Ribs $28: Another Excellent dish! The spicy and numbing Mala taste was obvious without being overly spicy. Great flavors, Great texture. Get this! -- Pork Fried Noodles $15: All noodles are hand-pulled on-site, with noodle chefs having over 20 years of experience. This dish was made with just ONE very long noodle! Served with a pair of scissors. lol Great texture, and soooo satisfying! Even better with some chili oil! This had limited protein but a good dish nonetheless. -- Northeastern Style Braised Pork Elbow $36: Excellent dish! Huge portion. Perfectly braised, fall-off-the bone deliciousness. It was slightly salty, so definitely eat this with some rice. Get this! -- Rice ($2/bowl): entrees do NOT come with rice, so order on the side. -- Condiments: on each table, there is a condiments tray consisting of chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and salt/pepper. Definitely try their chili oil and vinegar. This really enhanced the flavors of the food. But some of the dishes didn't need condiments at all, and were terrific as served. Customer service was so warm, welcoming and friendly! They are happy to answer any questions you may have, and offered great suggestions. So, if you've never had Harbin Cuisine before, peruse the 6 page menu and ask questions before ordering! Lots of great dishes on their menu! Parking: street parking is available (in front and on the side road). They do have a small parking lot in back but spots are limited since it's a shared lot. Looking forward to a return visit to explore their menu. What a treat!! Thanks to Y&Z for a wonderful 1st experience at your restaurant!

The Lanzhou noodle soup was delicious. The soup itself was slightly different in color from what I…read moream used to but the flavor is about the same. There is a certain taste to lzbns which is described as "xian", and this soup has it. The pork sauerkraut dumplings were also great, as a Northeastern Chinese (Harbin) restaurant, the dumplings were as chonky as I expected with great wrapper texture. They give free pickled veg (pickled with Sichuan peppercorns!) and watermelon as well. Staff was attentive, I came on a Sunday dinner 630pm, was quiet, mostly takeout orders. Wonderful restaurant, definitely eat in if you can for the freshest experience.

The lady came back and took my order as if she didn't want to. When I was given my order the guy practically was rushing me off without letting me speak.

Hopefully it's the only bad service encounter I get cause I like the food and it would be a shame to look elsewhere because of the service.

Upon arrival, I noticed that the interior was reminiscent of many Chinese restaurants in NYC, not too clean looking and kinda dingy creepy. I knew I was taking a chance as roaches are usually out when nobody is around. I took a chance and ordered the food. They service was rather quick and the food was warm when I arrived home. I dug right in. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it going down. I made sure not to look too close as I really wanted to eat it. I just was never able to shake the feeling that they weren't too clean and maybe I ate something other than shrimp. For that reason I probably won't be back. That's just the fact. Eat at your own risk like I did. To be clear, I didn't see anything but ugh... where are the nice clean Chinese restaurants?

Chicken Wings & Fried Rice w/ Duck Sauce…read more You ever take that first bite and just know the rest of your day is gonna be alright? Lol That's exactly what happened when I opened the box and the aroma of crispy chicken wings and golden fried rice hit me like a warm hug from someone who knows how to season food. The wings? Hot, crunchy, perfectly fried--not too greasy, not too dry. Just that right amount of salty-savory joy you want when you're craving comfort. And then there's the duck sauce. Sweet, tangy, sticky perfection. I dunked, dipped, and drenched those wings like I was painting a masterpiece. No regrets. None. Now the fried rice--simple, classic, no-frills, but done right. Golden grains, tiny bits of egg, scallions peeking through, and just enough soy flavor to make you keep coming back for "just one more spoonful" until the whole container's mysteriously empty. Somehow, every bite tasted better with a little swipe of duck sauce mixed in. Fusion? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely. Yummmm Pro tip: Get extra napkins and don't plan to share unless you're ready for a fight.

The food was decent, although the pork fried rice that came with my dish was pretty flavorless and the pork pieces were dry. That aside this review is about this restaurant's prices and their customer service. My total for these 2 items was $23.50, which is definitely overpriced. Their menu prices do not reflect what they actually charge, and the food was not worth $23. Especially because of what I mentioned above and their small quantities. (I could have gotten something better from Applebees). Additionally, whoever the man is that answers the phones here, is incredibly rude and has an attitude problem. I've ordered from here in the past and they've never been rude. Based on this experience and their prices, I will not be ordering from here again.
