That's usually a very good sign that the food is up to par, as well as prices being reasonable. I had only a small meal here, but certainly enjoyed what I had. The fish was steamed perfectly, while the cauliflower and lotus stayed perfectly crunchy. The razor clams and snow pea leaves were also delicious. I am certainly not in this neighborhood often, but I would be happy to come back here again to try more of their food if given the opportunity.

The noodles has a great balance of savory and tangy flavors. They serve a good portion of chewy, smooth rice noodles, with a clear delicate broth on the side. I like to eat this dish dry, so just a splash of the broth is enough for me to mix the noodles and toppings together. Their toppings are the best part, pickled beans, crispy soy beans, crispy pork & more! I also love their fried pork intestines. The restaurant also serves is a shared space with In Cha bubble tea I tried this Honeydew yogurt drink and it was awful. Had to throw out two of those.

The tea was delicious with a sweet milky flavor and chewy bubbles. The duck, was ok, the flavor was good but it was too much work to eat. There were lots of bits and pieces of bone and I had to constantly pick in my teeth. The noodles were nice and chewy. The noodles came with a broth, it was okay. I would come here again for teas!

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ One Choice of BBQ Meat on Rice ++++ (Fatty) Roast Pig over Rice - Roast pig was very fatty and the skin was verry crispy, but the fatty pieces were basically fat with skin and lacking meat. White rice was cooked perfectly, but there was no sauce poured on the order. Chinese cabbage also accompanied the meat. ++++ (Fatty) Roast Pork over Rice - Roast pork was sliced thinly and tender. It nothing out of the ordinary, but had good flavor to it. + Menu is relatively simple compared to other Chinese restaurants, but still consist of a lot of items - meat with rice boxes, fried noodles, lo mein, fried rices, noodle soups, congee and even some dim sum dishes. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Quick for takeout service. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + There are only a few tables inside as most of their business seems to be takeout. + Good luck finding parking outside as the restaurant is located on the heart of 86th Street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came by to buy takeout at around 2 PM on a Sunday afternoon and, shockingly, they had PLENTY of BBQ meats available still.

They are doughier, meatier, and less soupy. An option for a quick and affordable bite. The space is clean and spacious, with fast turnover, so there's rarely a wait. It's a self-serve setup. You order at the counter, grab a table, wait for your number to be called, and bus your own table when you're done. No tipping expected. I had the Fuzhou wontons and Fuzhou pork meat, decent if you're looking for something light. My friend really liked the fermented mustard dry rice noodles, though I found the sauce a bit too clumpy, even after asking for more. I enjoy fermented mustard and peanut butter noodles separately, just not together. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but I'd be open to trying their soups or regular peanut butter noodles next time. If you're in the area and craving something cheap, fast, and a little different, could be a stop.

Ambiance - Clean and spacious. Many tables…read more Service - Fast & Friendly. It is more like a self serve, you order and sit down. When food is ready they will either deliver it to your table or call you to pick up - I am guessing depending how busy there are, they delivered to our table. All the condiments and plastic utensils are on the tables, for take out they have station for you to take what you needs. Food - great place for a cheap eat. Flavor and price are very good. Preferred Pan fried Pork Bun over the Steam Pork Bun. Love the Duck soup - definitely had wine in it, it just tastes soo much better with wine in duck soup! The FJ meat dumpling is a different type of wonton, the wrapper is more of a bouncy texture, the meat is very flavourful, overall everything was very good. definitely will go back for more!

The restaurant looked like a regular bbq place with meats hanging at the window so what can go wrong? Maybe it got better since my last visit a couple years ago... WRONG! When I ordered a piece of lean uncut roast pork, the counter guy tried to give me a fatty piece. I rejected it and asked for another piece. It wasn't until I got home, I discovered that he hid the fatty end part of the same piece at the bottom of the container. The pork was tasteless; bbq flavor was weak. It was clearly not as good compared to my favorite place, King's Kitchen. Definitely will not go back again.

I always order the three dish and one soup deal for $16.95. You definitely need to know Fuzhou dialect or Mandarin to order from here however, as this deal is only written out in Mandarin. Also, the people who work here do not know any English whatsoever. I don't know the name of the dishes in English, but I always order a soup (top), vegetable (left), fish (bottom), and spare ribs (right). I order the soup with tofu and and clam and it is always hot and flavorful. They make the soups when you order unlike some places that leave their soups there all day. The vegetable (Chinese spinach?) is cooked with garlic so I actually eat it, despite the fact that I usually don't like vegetables. The fish (boneless whiting fish?) isn't my favorite dish, but my sister loves it so I always get it when I come with her. My personal favorite dish, the spare ribs, is cooked with a delicious sauce and topped with a vegetable I actually like, cauliflowers. I love dipping the fish and the Chinese spinach in the spare rib sauce, which is the perfect mixture of sweet and salty. There is no delivery fee, so definitely give this place a call! It doesn't take long for the food to arrive and they are open pretty late.

Menu is similar to Yozi, another duck specialty restaurant in Sunset Park, but I think this place has more variety for everyone (noodles, dumplings, rice, etc). I ordered the duck offal with vermicelli noodles and duck meat with bamboo shoots and mustard greens noodle, and kelp salad in spicy garlic sauce. I really like the kelp salad although the sauce wasn't spicy at all, but the flavor is nice. The duck offal noodles were OK -- the broth is simple but tasty. Portions for price is good and price is affordable. If you like duck noodles, I recommend this place.
