Small charge for hot tea per person. Were able to ask any staff for help when needed, no assigned waitstaff, which was ok bec. service was fast. Walking distance from Broadway/Queens Blvd so Elmhurst Ave stop on M, R train and a few bus lines. Restrooms available.

We came for dim sum and stayed for lunch. I loved that the rice rolls were made only if someone ordered them. My fav is the shrimp rice roll. The shrimp rice crepe wrapped me in its warm embrace while the fresh shrimp was almost crunchy, steamed just right. The chicken feet will always be one of my favorite dishes, they marinate it well and it's usually very flavorful. Our seafood chow fun was very well made, fresh rice noodle with shrimp, scallops, squid and other seafood cooked just right. The chefs here are spot on every time in taste, texture and the degree to which everything should be cooked to perfection. It's always a joy to feast here for celebrations, family dinners and everything in-between. Two thumbs up! Ocean Bay Seafood Restaurant is definitely a hidden gem and consistently brings amazing comfort food to all who crave an exciting foodie adventure.

Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place. It's not a restaurant nor even a place to sit, stand to eat. It's busy and pretty packed here on the weekends.

Love just watching how the rice rolls and chow fun are made here. Also, got the large grass jelly. On a hot n humid day it's always refreshing to have some cold grass jelly- like jello. Will be back to try their other rice rolls.

Crispy Fried Chicken -- so good I almost told my son he couldn't have any... but I'm working on being a better dad . Pork & Crab Dim Sum -- little bombs of flavor that disappeared faster than my paycheck on a Friday. This place is a gem. Customer service? Top notch. And here's the kicker -- every time you spend over $10, they bring out a WHEEL. Spin-to-win action like I'm at a Vegas buffet in Queens. Elmhurst, you did it again.

It helps that we speak the language that we got a little more comedic interaction with him! He was a hoot and was helpful in providing us advice on the # of dishes and what to get. I'd say everything is authentic to the Shanghainese cuisine so I'm a little biased that I loved every dish! A fish dish was suggested but we opted for our usual favorites: Scallion Pancake -made fresh as you can tell from the crunch Soup dumplings - super fresh, delicious inside, plenty of soup, perfect ratio of skin to meat Chow Fun - classic, look at the heaping amount of beef portioned on top!! Beef pepper steak - chunks were very tender and full of flavor Pork buns - a lovely crunch on the bottom of the bun, soft bread and tons of flavor Shrimp with broccoli - large pieces of shrimp (I didn't try it so I'm not sure on the taste)

Then the server Bill, started acting like a used car salesman. He said he would give us a sake cause it was his birthday, but didn't tell us we were going to get charged for it. Also before my brother got there, he said that since it was his birthday, he would bring out a "banana boat" which was just 5 scoops of ice cream and some cut up banana. When we got the bill he not only charged us for both, but that banana boat was $30! When we asked about it, he argued with us saying that he didn't tell us the price of every single thing that we bought... very rude. We also tried to order two orders of regular soup dumplings and two orders of the truffle. He kept rushing our order, and then tried to change our order to four orders of the truffle. We weren't sure if we would like it yet, and kept pushing back but he wouldn't take no for an answer (that being said the truffle was good, but I'm definitely a purist and preferred the regular soup dumplings). We also ordered the kau fu but it was not good, and tasted too much of five spice. The cha cha mien was fine, but a bit small and a little bland. The rice cakes were good, but the rice cakes were not al dente enough for me. We also got the fried rice, which was fine, but nothing to write home about. Finally we got a fried tofu dish which was good and had a lot of tofu in it. Overall, this server ruined our experience. The food is fine, but there are other Shanghainese restaurants in the area and would visit those over this place.

My favorite is the Fish Congee, but the Sampan Congee is another favorite of mine. In general, all of the congees are consistently good. As for the roast meats, I think their best item is the Soy Sauce Chicken, which is made well. The rest are decent, but I would rather go to Five Loaves & Two Fishes nearby instead. The stuff I would skip here are items like their Wonton Noodle and Rice Rolls. Both are made poorly and not up to par versus the best around. Anyway, I believe this is not a Cantonese roast meat shop that can deliver everything I want. Regardless, I rarely drive by without stopping in to pick up some congee and possibly half a Soy Sauce Chicken.

Eim Khao Mun Kai was one of the first shops, if not the first, in New York City that focused on…read moreselling Hainanese Chicken Rice exclusively, and it's kind of cool to see imitators spring up all across New York City. Unlike restaurant versions which are often poached and include bones, the Hainanese Chicken Rice sold in these shops exclude the bones, and adds sides of rice and chicken soup. Eim only sells one version of its Chicken Rice -- poached dark meat, while some competitors offer different cuts and fried versions. Ticket times are generally quick as a result. We often just pick up a Set A for 1 (currently for $12.99; $14.14 with tax and by cash), and complement that with dishes from other nearby restaurants -- there are a wealth of excellent options, some even on the same block. The spicy ginger sauce -- the "secret sauce" that distinguishes Eim from its competitors, might be an acquired taste, but it is quite an addicting kick. The spicy ginger sauce also helps mask some overcooking issues. Fans take note that Eim recently began to offer its spicy ginger sauce for sale separately, for $10.89 plus tax for a 12-ounce bottle. Eim keeps to a street food motif with a preparation area that looks like a street cart, and by wrapping take-out orders in butcher's paper. This small shop has seating for about 13 people -- two tables of three, two tables of two, and three counter-height seats. There are no customer accessible restrooms.

Very unassuming from the outside, the sign currently says "Zhong Yue Restaurant"…read more This is a steam table type place where you can get a combo of rice or noodles and 4 items for $9 which is an incredible deal. The guy in there did not seem to speak much English but he was kind and welcoming anyway. I opted for the noodles, which were slightly better than the standard over cooked Chinese take out lo mein- soft but not mushy. I got gong bao Ji ding, some sort of tofu and wood ear dish, and a potato curry. The chicken was super fatty and rich dark meat with a juicy, tender texture. You could really taste the wok hei in this dish and it had some pleasant heat to it. This is probably my favorite dish I got. The potato curry was also flavorful, and the potatoes were not mushy and over cooked- just creamy and marinated in curry flavor. The tofu was surprisingly deep in flavor. The sauce completely penetrated the fried triangles of tofu with slight sweetness and savoriness. It was pleasantly chewy and overall seemed to be expertly prepared. This picture of the food genuinely looks horrible, but you have to take my word that everything I ate here was very delicious. I find that often this type of place offers many dishes that all taste very similar but each of the things I tried had its own distinct flavor profile. I ate at one of the few seats inside and found it to be clean and comfortable with a large jar of tasty chili oil available. I often come to this area to run errands and I am extremely eager to add this spot as a vital stop on my itinerary next time I'm in the neighborhood.

I was in the area and dropped by to pick up some food to go, got the following: - zhongzi $3.50 each: sticky rice with pork and savory mung bean paste wrapped in bamboo leaves. A little on the bland side though they have a large piece of meat inside, nothing a little soy sauce (or any other Asian sauce for that matter) couldn't fix. - stir-fried rice vermicelli $6 for the large box, $3 for the small one: tasty well-cooked noodles with slivers of cabbage, onion and carrot, the large box could serve 2 people easily. - choice of 3 dishes with rice, fried rice or noodles, and served with a side of clear soup (had veggies in the soup the day I went) $8: they do choice of 2 dishes with above for $7, choices of 4 options for $9. You choose from the dishes in the display counter. Homestyle, tasty and nothing fancy in the least bit, but well worth the price. Street parking is available though not plentiful in this area, no bathrooms available. Around the corner from one of the exits of the Grand Avenue subway stop.
