My son has been wanting to taste "authentic" Chinese food in Flushing for a long time, and a trip to JFK took us there. This place is a real gem - we had thought that it was a small noodle house, so were pleasantly surprised to see that they had a rich and diverse menu. Although specializing mostly in southwestern Chinese cuisine, the menu also features certain northern flavors, such as the famous Shaanxi hamburger "marinated meat in baked bun"（肉夾饃）. My son ordered one and claimed it was delicious - the bun had a crispy shell and the braised pork inside was cooked to perfection. I ordered the vegetarian Mifen (rice noodle) in a clay pot. I thought it would come out in a petite jar, but it was in a real size POT that could feed a whole family! The noodle soup was a bit on the bland side, but with the line up of seasonings on the table, I customized my own flavors. My son loves "Stinky Tofu" - in this version, it was pungent fermented tofu fried crispy on the outside in a dipping sauce. Although I generally stay clear of strong smells (I avoid durian at all cost), this plate of tofu was a nice surprise! It didn't smell much but tasted really nice. My son chose the "sliced lamb mifen", which he consumed with gusto. We also ordered "boiled fish fillet in hot chilli oil" (水煮魚）, which was infused with Szechuan peppercorn that left one's tongue and throat tingling. The portions were generous for the modest pricing, we packed most of the fish dish home for our next dinner. p.s. The menu on Yelp is incomplete. I could not find most of the dishes that we ordered. Please refer to my photos and captions.
I've seen this place on Yelp and always wanted to try. Service: awesome service, the waitress was super friendly and helpful when it came to answering questions. Food: We ordered dumplings and they were so yummy and juicy! As for the noodles, we ordered the fish soup, and beef hot and spicy noodles. I felt that the noodles were a little bland, and not as much flavor as I'd like. The noodles were nice and bouncy!!
Great place for tasty noodle soup! We tried the Beef Noodle Soup and the Lamb Noodle Soup. They provide a decent amount of food, with a big bowl of soup and lots of noodles and meat. The taste of the soup was a good standard for what I would expect in Flushing. The service was great. The server was very personable and we talked about the basketball that was showing. The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated and kept very clean. This is definitely a place I would come back to try more items from their menu.
The food was just overly salty and greasy with no significant tasty flavor. Their most famous dish the beef mifen was disappointing. The soup base was just salt water flavor, beef had kind of a smell, and the pink radishes didn't do anything at all. The dumplings are a good price but the chili oil and sauce they give are cheap and don't have the same flavor I get from other restaurants. Kind of watered down and sour. Just would avoid in my opinion. Paid over 20 dollars for food that doesn't even taste delicious.
Was just around the area to find something to eat for lunch on Sunday around 12PM. I was hungry and I saw this newly design restaurant , I thought they renovated the old restaurant. I walked in and found out that this is a new restaurant and the previous dumpling shop was out of business. There were only 4 rectangular tables and 2 other tables on the glass window. The menus was displayed on the screen on top of the counter. I was expecting to be very busy but there were only 2 costumers. I guess this is too far away from Main St and no one want to travel all the way here to try it unless it is extraordinary. Beside there are couple similar restaurants around the Main St. This place is self serve so don't expect too much from the servers. I ordered the beef mifen (direct translate rice noodles), it was good. The price on the menus is tax included and my beef mifen came out to be $7.99. The general construction of their noodle soup is noodle with sour cabbage and sour daikon and the meat(depend on which one you order). The favor of the soup is a bit bland so I added their spice on the table. Just an reminder, don't put too much random stuff when you don't know what is it. I learn it a hard way and put too much of their spice then my tongue got numb. Overall it was okay. I will come here again if I am around the area.
If I were to ever write a love letter to a bowl of noodle soup, the hot & tangy beef beauty from here would be the one to inspire me. You see, I need the object of my affection to have flavor and lots of it. I need it to elicit feelings of passion and desire. And okay, I need it to make me laugh, though that may be pushing it with a bowl of soup: To back way the f**k up, I recently had the indescribable pleasure of trying this spot's beef mifen soup for the first time. Mifen, by the way, apparently means rice noodles. Anyway, from my first slurp, I was a goner. I don't know what was in the broth... Ginger? Star Anise? Tangerine peel? Chiles? But damn, it was heady! It was packed with fork tender beef, baby bok choy, plus various fermented veggies, and topped with tons of cilantro. At first glance, the rice noodles looked like spaghetti, but they were slippery and uniquely chewy. In relative Flushing terms, this small, fast casual eatery is downright posh, boasting a handful of tables and if I am remembering right, a restroom! It's a bit off the beaten path in terms of location, but is near Star Bakery, which I'd recommend for its sesame balls and egg tarts.
I can't remember the first time I visited. I do remember I was trying to find beef noodles after my then favorite spot started using more and more inedible bits of beef. This place was not serving your typical beef noodle soup; the flavors were a nice mix of spicy and sour with a dash of picked vegetables and plenty of broth, beef, and noodles. Also, they used rice noodles instead of wheat. Thinking of their noodles usually leads me to give them a call for pickup. But the real reason I'm reviewing this place after all these years is that I thought they had closed 2 months ago. I guess you don't appreciate something until it's gone. To my delight, I stopped by last week and they reopened; they were only temporary closed for renovations. While the price has gone up to a little over a sawbuck, the unique taste is still there. I do think the flavor is a little more overt now, with a lot of beef flavor in the broth and fewer notes of pickled and sour vegetables, but it's still very good. Also, the decor is a step up. They even added TVs on the wall if you're visiting alone.
This is my go to place when I get off work sometimes. Nice warm broth, smooth noodles with a nice bite to it. Not soggy. If you like cilantro, this is the place. They mostly speak Chinese but will work with you. Just point at the pictures of food that you want. Spicy seasoning is on the side, add if you want. I usually order the beef. Not crazy about the seafood version, but that's just me. I that they open early for the morning crowd.
Short and simple menu but I wish the English was translated better instead of having terms you'd have to go. It's not as spicy as you'd think perfect balance of meat and flavors.
My favorite dish here is probably the Mutton with the Skin Vermicelli, followed by the stewed beef as a close second. The soup has a tanginess that really cuts through the fattiness of the mutton and ughhhhhh I'm drooling just thinking about it. If it's your first time trying Guizhou noodles, get the vermicelli as it's chewier than regular rice vermicelli. And stick with either the regular mutton or the beef, as the Pickled Pepper/Red Sour soups might be sour overload. If you enjoy tripe, their braised tripe is also really good, since they add that spicy sauce to it. If only the restaurant was closer to the station, I would go there every week for sure. PS: The mutton has bones in it, if you don't like bones, don't get it. Personally I love eating meat off the bone but whatever floats your boat.
This is definitely the my new favorite spot in Flushing. I was drove to flushing to visit my friend and it was so late, I saw a newly renovated place and it kind of stand out in that street. The owner recommended the Beef Mifen and sesame pancake. I was soooo gooood, the beef was very tender and chewy, the broth was well balanced between just the right amount of sourness and spiciness. To be honest , I was never a big fan of Mifen, after trying that dish I changed my mind. I also gave the owner five star as well since he is supper nice and explained the ingredients to me very patiently. Highly recommended! Definitely go there try out the tons of flavor Mifen!

This place definitely hits the spot for delicious noodles. The beef pepper noodles were really tangy and spicy, but not overwhelmingly so. They added some sour radish and chilli sauce so the whole broth was spicy tangy and delicious. The beef noodles were milder but still good. read more

No service, when we make order, the owner looks like someone own her a lot money, and even made order wrong twice, fine. The worth thing is when I stand from of the counter ask for a soda, she just keep playing her phone and after I asked more than 3 times, she told me: take it from refrigerator by myself. Tasty really bad, noodle cook too long, that tast too soft. The worst Chinese food even in Flushing area. On the photo can figure out there no one stand by the counter during lunch time. read more

Came here because I was craving for some Guizhou huaxi Mifen, and I have to say it did not disappoint. After all the spices were added, it tastes very similar to a bowl of huaxi Mifen you would have in Guizhou; tasty, numbing, sour (a little). The portion is generous and price is very affordable read more

Ordered to go yesterday. My husband asked them what's inside and the waiter just mentioned beef and soup! Guess what? I ate it and now have a terrible allergic reaction. Never had a reaction to beef noddles anywhere, but here. Definitely will not come back. Please have some kind of allergy alert on the menu!!! read more
