Lemon water at your table. The appetizers were just ok, fried pork lacked much flavor and the brown sugar glutinous rice cake wasn't as good as elsewhere. Free side dishes of black mushrooms (not much flavor) and the pickled daikon (this was good, a little spicy). The aromatic hot oil and suancai fish was excellent, more than enough for one person (plus maybe one). You can swap out the two veggies with other choices but I liked the lettuce and baby nappa. Golden soup suancai and fish was more sour for those who liked it that way - tomato looked good, too, fragrant (not spicy). The spicy on the others was just a light spice, more ma la than anything. Everyone gets a bowl of rice, and they have a gift card deal - buy $300 and get $50 free. Plus free meal on your birthday, and some discounts on Tuesdays or Wednesdays? Check the signs. Seats filled up quickly on a weekend and they were packed - come early and enjoy. The double serving for two was smaller than a single serving for one, so just get two if you have two good sized appetites. Single unisex bathroom, and the tables have drawers with paper napkins. Drinks - eh, pass, had better elsewhere. They did forget a dish, but that's ok, we were reasonably full.

The glutinous rice sticks were good, but not hot. The lemon tea was too sweet. The small portion was large enough for leftovers.

One red flag was that there was no disclaimers that the claypot rice would take at least 15 mins or so to make as that's what I would expect for an authentic made to order claypot rice. We ordered the Grilled Eel and Home-Style Braised Pork Casserole, which both came out in under 10 minutes. The pork was definitely plentiful and seasoned well but it was definitely premade and just plated in the claypot. The eel claypot rice did not have the crispy rice in the bottom of the claypot and definitely seemed like it was precooked rice that was thrown into the claypot for presentation. The food was not terrible but it definitely disappointing and not authentic. The milk custard was not my favorite as it tasted like stinky milk. Overall, I would not recommend Mr BoBo and hope they step up their game soon.

Pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the food was. The garlic string beans are my favorite. Very garlicky, blistered well and flavorful. The pork was pretty good too. I think the boiled fish doesn't taste as fresh as I wanted. The fish had a bit of a muddy flavor which threw it off a bit. They also keep the bones in there so it was kind of hard to eat. The place has a lot of authentic dishes that might scare off non-Chinese people. There are trotters, intestines, offal, rabbit, etc on the menu so if you're looking for American style Chinese food, you should go elsewhere. Overall not bad. Service was standard, ambiance was casual.

We almost always order the fried flounder -- it's something we usually don't make at home, and they do it well. This time we also tried their combination plate with double legs and one additional meat over rice. We picked the roasted pork belly. What I liked about the roasted pork belly was that it had good portions of meat and fat, not just the fatty scraps that some restaurants serve. The portion was huge, delicious, and only $14.99. Service is always pretty friendly even when they are busy. This was also our first time trying the preserved egg and lean pork congee. It was only okay for me because the pork didn't taste very fresh. It's a small restaurant and the seating is just okay, but we'll still come back every now and then to grab their lunch special.

Actually, 1,000 Stars!…read more WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! Total hidden gem. I know writing this review isn't exactly helping me because more people will discover this place--but the world needs to know! They're currently offering a $25 lobster special, which is practically unheard of. As of July 2026, the promotion is still going on, and I believe it's tied to a grand opening or a customer appreciation campaign. Whatever the reason, it's a brilliant idea because it got me through the door- not once, but TWICE already. Beyond the lobster, they also serve excellent Cantonese barbecue, including roast pork, roast chicken, roast duck, BBQ pork (char siu), as well as noodles and congee. It's the kind of neighborhood Cantonese restaurant that's becoming harder to find. One thing I especially appreciated was that their lunch special rice dishes were still available until 8:00 p.m. Most restaurants stop serving lunch specials by early afternoon on weekdays because understandably they'd rather focus on dinner entrées. I completely understand that business model. However, this restaurant chose to extend those affordable options well into the evening, and that's a level of generosity that deserves recognition. This review is my small way of saying thank you to them. Now let's talk about the wok. The "wok hei" (that signature "breath of the wok") was absolutely incredible. It literally is just the heat from the scorching wok that helps make the food delicious, flavorful, and the whole yard. The lobster arrived so hot that steam kept fogging my camera lens, making it nearly impossible to get a sharp photo. My group wasn't about to wait for it to cool down either, so I had no choice but to post a steamy lobster picture, which honestly seems fitting. Steamy, fresh, and delicious... not a bad combination! The menu itself is extensive. While Cantonese cuisine is certainly comfort food, they also offer familiar favorites like beef with broccoli for anyone who prefers something more traditional. (Tradition in the sense of the Americanized concept, haha) At the same time, adventurous diners have plenty of authentic dishes to explore. I also have a great deal of respect for the operation behind the scenes. Many Cantonese restaurants effectively run two kitchens at once--one handling barbecue meats, noodle dishes, congee, and chopping stations in the front, while another manages high-powered wok cooking in the back. Coordinating all of that smoothly is no easy task. Much respect to the cooks, kitchen staff, managers, and owners. Running a restaurant like this involves an incredible amount of organization and hard work that most customers never see. It is quite a huge undertaking! The seafood tasted fresh, the vegetables were cooked with precision (the string beans still had a wonderful crunch), and the flavors were excellent overall. One dish leaned a little saltier than I personally prefer, but considering everything else was so well executed, it was easy to overlook. There were really more pros than anything else. For a Hong Kong-style restaurant located in Queens--not Hong Kong itself--I think they've done a fantastic job. Of course, nothing replaces eating in Hong Kong, but that's not really the point. This restaurant delivers authentic Cantonese comfort food while serving the tastes and expectations of diners here in New York, especially in Queens and particularly in the Kissena area, and they do it exceptionally well. Congratulations to the entire team for creating a place like this. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood restaurant that food lovers appreciate: great food, fair prices, and genuine hospitality. (And yes... you definitely won't find us spending our money at Mr. Chow's!) If you visit, don't order just one dish. Come with family or friends, order several items, and share everything. That's the best way to experience Cantonese dining. Their menu is quite expansive, that's why. We usually dine with groups of ten or more, so I'm already thinking about bringing future birthday dinner and group gatherings here. I noticed they have at least one larger table, although it may be a little tight for very large parties. I'll definitely be back, and I'll try to upload more photos after future visits. Most importantly, please support your local businesses. They're what give every neighborhood its personality, diversity, and sense of community. Places like this deserve to succeed. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did!

When we went, of course we had to order the traditional lamb skewers, but we also ordered beef skewers, stiny tofu, sweet/sour napa, and a bunch of other skewers.

Hot Space is known for their grilled fish served in a large pan (kept heated with a flame underneath) with various toppings that you can choose from including enoki mushrooms, cabbage, veggies, fish tofu, soft tofu, kelp, lotus root, black fungus, rice cakes, ramen noodles, and glass noodles. They have options for the flavor of the broth/grilled fish including mala spicy, spicy tofu (comes with soft tofu), garlic, tomato, and more. Their menu also includes appetizers and other entrees including crawfish and shrimp. For appetizers, we tried the grilled fish tofu skewer, cold tofu with preserved duck egg, and grilled eggplant with garlic. I would recommend all of these appetizers. If you enjoy fish, this place is worth trying especially because you can customize it with toppings that you like. When you spend $120, you can get a free tower of a sparkling fruit drink (it was just okay so don't go out of your way to spend $120 just to get the drink). Free dessert , herbal jelly in milk, comes at the end of the meal, but this wasn't too enjoyable. Service: Staff members were very friendly and helpful. They came around to refill drinks frequently. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size because it has two floors. Good for both small and large groups. Seating is comfortable. Overall, I would recommend this place!

Con about this is, I didn't realize there would be a wait so I didn't bother making reservations on Google so we had to wait 40 mins.

I mentioned to her that a couple places in Flushing sell crawfish Chinese style and she wanted to try. Did a search on Yelp and saw someone recently raved about the crawfish here. Every order of crawfish comes in 2lbs and we ordered the spiced flavored one. This crawfish gets an A++. Little one loved the flavors and freshness. So tasty. Not only that, but these were probably the biggest crawfish we've ever seen! Even the claws had meat! We also loved how they chopped off the top of the head to removed the "filter". We also ordered a couple small dishes to try. For cold apps we ordered the pigs ear and okra. We love the crunchy texture of the pigs ear and the more we ate it, the more addicting it got to eat. Okra was also a bit. For the skewers, we ordered the lamb beef and intestine. Honestly the lamb and beef skewers were probably the worst ones we've ever tried. It was a struggle to finish them. The meat was tasteless, hard and overcooked. No fat ratio at all. The pig intestines were perfectly cooked. Love when it's crispy. We love finding a place that's been around that's actually a huge hit for us. We will be back. If you spend $120, they will gift you a huge carafe of passion fruit tea.
