    Oyster noodle
    Sabrina Z.

    Came here on Valentines Day with my dad and family. First time came here and it was nice. They spoke on mandarin. We had oyster noodle shell, noodles. All big portions for noodles. Scallion pancakes, squid skewers.

    Beef Guo Qiao Rice Noodle

    Wow, very comforting experience. Went around 9 pm on a Tuesday, yet the restaurant was nearly fully. Some in full pajamas, some with full families, all ages. So many elements of these dishes stand out but don't overpower each other. Extremely tender spare ribs. They were falling off the bone in the soup. Love the fried pork belly/bacon. Adds a savory, rich crunch to a soup. And easily some of the best rice noodles I've ever had--chewy but not bouncy. As a spice lover, I appreciate the table chili oil and Szechuan oil. Go easy on the Szechuan oil and build up as needed. Far off Main Street in Flushing, but if you're down to explore, this is a great find.

    Came here on a whim on a chilly day and we were mind blown at how good the food was. Noodle soup came out in a clay pot that kept the soup warm the entire meal, papaya salad was interesting (I've only ever had Thai style, but this was also delish), and service was fast and prompt. Although the bbq skewers tasted good, it was a tad bit too oily. Also, the place is pretty small (table wasn't big enough for the amount we ordered) and they fill up pretty fast for dinner. Def would recommend to come on a cold winter day!

    Came for a late dinner after seeing the comet and was craving rice noodle and decided to try this place out. The presentation of some of their dishes are really nice and overall the portions are big. The service wasn't bad and it was pretty packed at 8PM. Overall, would definitely come back for rice noodles in the future.

    preserved egg with chili

    always walked by this place and intrigued by all the little dishes they give you for the rice noodles. we finally stopped in recently to see what they're all about! the restaurant is pretty spacious and half full when we stopped in. there are lots to choose from, ranging from the different types of rice noodles, to skewers, to cold dishes, etc. we ended up trying these: -xiu cai guo qiao rice noodle: broth comes PIPING HOT and the toppings come in a separate tray. the staff will add all of them to the broth at a lightning speed. the presentation factor is pretty cool. the rice noodle had a nice broth and noodles were cooked nicely too. -spicy beef guanguan rice noodle: didn't seem too spicy but once you give it some time, you realize it's SPICY SPICY. huge portion with a good amount of beef. -sliced beef and ox organs in chili sauce: sliced beef and tripe in an authentic szechuan chili sauce. this was really good! -preserved egg with chili: not for the faint of heart but i do love preserved eggs (aka. thousand year egg). it has a nice rich, umami flavor. the dish comes in a mortar and pestle like set-up, which the staff will then mash the preserved egg and chili together. really nice seasoning, but the chili peppers were realllllly spicy. i think using less of it would be much much better. i think this place surprised me quite a bit. the apps were great and rice noodles were hearty and comforting. will return to try more non-spicy options!

    Beef Guo Qiao Rice Noodle

    Great noodle spot! They aren't on the main street of Flushing but still, all of their tables in the outdoor seating section was full and most of the tables inside as well. The tables are spread out at a good distance from each other so it was comfortable to dine indoors. They actually have a pretty big selection of items to choose from on their menu from a variety of appetizers (both hot and cold) to skewers and their most known entrée, the rice noodles. Even for their noodles, there's a lot of different ones to choose from too. I ordered the Beef Guo Qiao Rice Noodle and really enjoyed it! All of the ingredients are fresh and brought out in individual small plates within a box. Then, they bring out a pot of boiling soup in a pot meant to keep everything hot which they mix in the fresh ingredients (meat, veggies and all) and the noodles that are already cooked. I really enjoyed it! The noodles are yunnan rice noodles so they were thick round noodles but had the perfect texture of not being overcooked and still chewy. The portion was actually really big - there were lots of noodles and plently of meat and veggies (mostly mushrooms). The broth was also very rich and flavorful so it was really tasty! I love that it remained hot through the entire meal too. A great spot for yunnan rice noodles plus lots of other appetizer items and small plates to share. The price for noodles is a bit higher than other places in the area (since Flushing has lots of great cheap eats), and depending on what you get, but the portions are big and it's tasty so go give it a try! Plus, I don't know too many places that serve yunnan style rice noodles either.

    Best rice noodles soup in this area. Excellent service. Noodles with BBQ skewers, the best combo ever.

    Looking for delicious Rice noodles stewed in a hot clay pot filled with a healthy helping of mixed vegetables, seafood and meat? Look no further, Den ji is the place to go. The restaurant specializes in rice noodles and I can see why. The noodles are delicate as they are firm and the hearty seasoned broths are a perfect pairing of the two. We ordered the beef stew for two with spicy broth. Since I wasn't sure on the spice level. I had them dial it down on the scoville meter. They can adjust the spiciness level to accommodate your taste and spice/pain threshold. The beef stew was amazing and placed on top of a portable propane stove on your table which kept everything piping hot. The flame on the stove was adjustable too. The beef was literally fork tender. There were also cuts of tripe, tendon and mixed veggies to complete the meal For appetizers we ordered the chicken and lamb skewers. Perfectly seasoned with cumin and moist and tasty with the right ratio of fat mixed in. Credit cards are accepted and though they only have one bathroom, it's very clean. Service was top notch, but I noticed English is not the language of choice here, but the servers knew enough to understand you. Parking spots are difficult to find so go early to look for a spot. Do not park across the street at the strip mall and think you can get away with it. They will tow your car! Looking forward to return to try the other menu items

    The service is not nice, but their noodles are pretty good. If you have a small appetite the portions are great shareable size. And we love the fried youtiao.

    Spicy beef jar jar noodle
    Kristi Y.

    This restaurant is tucked away among several other small eateries along Kissena Blvd, churning out yunnan mixian noodles in mini black clay soup jars. Piping hot broth on a cold night really hits the spot for me. There was one time when there was limited seats and the only available table was by the door. Everytime the door opened the cold air would hit us. But this really wasn't much of a problem, the noodle was hot and spicy enough for us to take off our coats and hope for the cold air to cool us down! Service: I believe there is only 1 younger waitress who can converse in English, so ordering can be difficult if she is not there. There is another older waitress who doesn't really speak standard mandarin, more of a mix of a different dialect---but she has a great memory. She gave us a membership card and promised us a free appetizer next visit, we did not visit here for 2-3 months and she still remembered! Food: Can definitely be on the spicy side, proceed with caution my spice intolerant friends!! Look for items that are not spicy, such as the seafood broth. The broths are all rich in flavor. Marinaded beef cold appetizer is thinly sliced beef shin mixed with a combo of herbs and spices. It had great flavor with a bit of a sting of spiciness but is slightly mellowed out by the peanut oil 4/5 Beef skewers had a cumin explosion, lots of juices flow out when bitten into 5/5 Chicken wings not as crisp as I want it to be, but there is definite good flavor! 3/5 Seafood jarjar rice noodle is recommended for those with low spice tolerance, good flavor with a mix of various seafood 4/5 Spicy beef jarjar rice noodle can vary in spiciness. I ordered this twice on different occasions and first time was tolerable but 2nd try I was sweating bullets! 4/5 Overall good place to check out! For those who haven't had Mixian noodles, it kind of reminds me of a white smooth spaghetti noodle but not as heavy/dense as normal spaghetti. A bit out of the way, but if you're in the area it's worth a try, I believe there are other locations as well.

    FYI: they have a membership system that rewards you with free drinks or side dishes! PROS: the interior of this place is adorable, don't let the exterior and the surrounding area fool you. We started with some lamb skewers which were excellent. Flavor and seasoning were both spot on and the lamb was cooked nicely. Not too tough and still had some softness to it. The seasoning does lend itself to be a bit on the spicy end but nothing too terrible. The flavor of the broth in the noodle soup we ordered was delicious. It tasted rich and hearty without being too heavy. Had a nice overall pork flavor to it as well. The ingredients they dumped into the soup right before it hit the table was good and the texture of the rice noodles were perfect. Hefty portions and overall great meal that warms you up in all the right places. CONS: for starters, this place is smaller than what their popularity and clientele demands so while we were eating, people were piling up near the door and blocking that area. The menu was also 95% in chinese. I really don't think I saw much, if any, English on there whatsoever minus like the occasional pinying. It also kinda looked like we got jipped of some promised ingredients too (or got very little) cause i really didn't see much meat in there. Everything else also just sunk to the bottom so you really have to work to get a bit of everything. Otherwise, expect a lot of protein left over at the end.

    Lamb skewers, dry and smokey just the way I like it, got an interesting aftertaste that I think it's some weird spice, 4.5 out of 5
    Michael J.

    A wonderful authentic hole in the wall place, really tickles my centron food and spicy food palate. I think a spices, makes the tribe exactly how I like it. Also, noodles were spot on. Service was average, I give it three out of five. But the food is definitely five out of 5 and the price is very reasonable to, four out of five.

Check in at the kiosk when you arrive and stay close by--we missed our name being called and had to wait another 30 minutes after an already 2-hour wait for our party of five. Once seated, we understood why it's so popular. The restaurant features a beautiful water wheel, multiple levels of seating, and a lively atmosphere. You customize your meal by choosing your broth, meats, vegetables, and sauces. We started with the spicy broth, but it was overloaded with chili peppers for our taste, so we switched to the herbal broth, which was rich, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. The fresh ingredients were the highlight. We enjoyed the water spinach so much that we ordered three servings. Other favorites included the milky beef, lotus root, beef balls, bean curd sheets, and several other fresh selections. The extensive sauce bar let everyone create their perfect dipping sauce. Considering the generous portions and quality, the prices were very reasonable. The wait is long, but the outstanding food makes it worthwhile. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Flushing.

We got the meeting spicy broth and the mushroom broth. The spicy broth was covered completely in dried red peppers. It definitely infused the food with spice. The broth themselves weren't amazing. They were fine. Their homemade rice wine on the other hand is absolutely delicious. I would go back for that alone. Their snacks, the fried broad beans, and seeds were very good. The cabbage was also delicious and fresh. The duck tongue was absolutely delicious, as were the beef balls. All the mushrooms were very good. The beef tongue was eh... the premium lamb was better. The taro balls took a very long time to cook.. the glass noodles disintegrated in the broth. Overall, the ambiance is what made the meal great, it was cozy and pretty. The broth, the meat were okay. Glad I tried it, but there are better spots for the food hot pot... just not as good of an ambiance as here.

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.

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.
