One waitress in particular, with the short hair, was super friendly and nice. Really took good care of us. Bathrooms are in the back of the restaurant and you need to use a key to get in. Ordered a few dishes and she heard we wanted two orders of soup dumplings and placed the order for us! It was ready once we finished ordering the rest. Soup dumplings - there's something to be said about this classic Shanghainese dish. It was delicious, thin enough skin texture, good meat filling complete with a delicious broth. Just so satisfying on cold days. Vegetarian mock duck - essentially bean curd sticks with flavor. Very good. Great meatless option. Keep in mind, this is a cold appetizer. Noodle soup with pork and veggies - they are very generous with their meat and veggies. This is a huge noodle soup and great shareable dish. Pork chop over rice - what a winner. The pork chop was perfectly done and the breading was light. Plenty of pork chop with all the usual fixings for this dish. Solid. Salted fish and chicken fried rice - anytime I see this dish, I order it because salted fish is classic and reminds me of home. Presentation looks like something I can make but the flavor is on point. Overall, great meal and good experience. Would certainly come back. Restaurant is medium size, parking is okay if you're willing to walk a few blocks. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant but it's tight and is packed at times.

We stumbled upon this place when we were driving to another place in central Flushing. Saw parking…read moreright outside the restaurant and decided to eat there. There are a few very similar restaurants bearing similar names in Flushing, Little Neck and Chinatown. I'm not sure which is the "original" and honestly don't care. This one is on the small side, and when we walked in I kind of regretted it as the acoustics of the restaurant are horrible - it's very noisy even though there's only one other table at the time. They were blasting English radio but I don't think the workers are listening, as they kept talking very loudly among themselves and with the customers at the other table. There was another tv blasting Chinese wildlife tv on the other side. It's just very noisy. The food took quite a while to come even though there's only one other table when we arrived. The food was not as good as at the other locations, the congee and soup were too salty, and the char siu was not fresh and looked unappetizing.

I stumbled into this spot while out exploring Flushing's Chinatown area. It was jammed with about…read more40 people having what seemed like 3 very boisterous parties at large tables inside. They were deep into the adult beverages on their tables so I thought I would duck inside to check out a take-away menu. It is such a small spot that when the door opens and you walk in, it is obvious, so it is a little intimidating unless you speak Mandarin (I don't) and it would be awkward to try to back out unnoticed. So I did what I always do in that situation, which is to enter, fumblefu*k around in English and give my best impression of a forlorn, hungry guy willing to spend some money to get fed. There were 2 service staff that were on me immediately in a nice way. They helped get me oriented with an English menu and a $3 beer and I tucked into a strategic corner to consider the large array of authentic offerings on the menu while watching the parties going on around me. My take-away order was substantial in portion sizes for the price. They get high marks for that and I thought the taste was good if but a bit on the salty side. Despite the saltiness, there was plenty of mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn paresthesias assaulting my lips and tongue after! There were many interesting items on the menu that I would have tried had I been more than 1 person (I was not sure I could eat an entire portion of offals alone) or had I been eating in the restaurant (they have things that do not seem like they would travel well). It just made me want to go back. Here are some of the things on the menu that you won't see everyday outside of a bona fide Chinatown: Boiled Blood Curd in Pot; Hot Spicy Frog; Pork Feet with Hot Sauce; Ox Tongue and Tripe; Jelly Fish Heads; Stinky Tofu. There are about 15 other dishes on the menu that would make for either a great eating adventure or a good museum collection for a psychopath depending on your world view. I see that there are some negative comments on here about this place and I will agree with the comment that I found the food to be heavily seasoned, almost overly so. But I enjoyed what I had and am a fan of their price:portion ratio. I found the wait staff to be friendly and helpful. Plus, there was obviously something that the 40 or so drunken Chinese natives in the place knew about going here for a great time and a good meal. I would tend to side with them over one or two low Yelp ratings. I'll be back for sure.

We ordered Lo Mein, Pork Fried Rice, Wonton Soup, Edamame, Spring Rolls, and Pepper Steak. Every dish was incredibly fresh and just perfect.

I am definitely a huge fan and will only order here from now on!!

Szechuan was good but chicken in stock was probably one o the worst I had ever had. The chicken was probably stale, and as more chewy than a gum. Not something I expected at a Michelin restaurant.

We went to Chimama's for a quick dinner tonight. We ordered the Khong Rou Fan, Niu Rou Mian, and…read morestring beans as an appetizer. I like their food because it's simple, tasty, and comes out quickly. The Khong Rou Fan is comforting and flavorful, and the Niu Rou Mian is always a good choice when you want something warm and satisfying. The string beans were a nice light appetizer to start. It's kind of a semi-service place -- you order at the counter and clean up after yourself when you're done, so there's no need to leave a tip if you dine in. The cashier who took our order is always nice, friendly, and polite, which makes the experience pleasant. The place is also always clean, which I appreciate. Overall it's a good spot when you want a quick, easy meal without a long wait.

The good- plenty of meat in Lou Rou Fan, the texture of stinky tofu, the no tipping but bus your own tray business model. Friendliness of staff behind the ordering counter. The so-so: not enough fragrance in stinky tofu, the slightly soggy/oily pork chop, and lack of fragrance in Taiwanese sausage. The somewhat expensive price( our lunch costing $56 total). Will probably revisit another time to see how other dishes taste and see what price point it will result in.

The service was decent, but the food just didn't deliver. At dinner, the salt and pepper pork chops were thin, over-fried, dry, and lacked flavor. The black pepper steak was smothered in sauce, and the beef texture suggested it had been overly tenderized. The BBQ duck was especially disappointing -- it tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. Overall, the dishes lacked seasoning, depth of flavor, and that smoky wok hei you expect from good Cantonese cooking. Lunch was slightly better, but still inconsistent. The congee itself was good, though the dried squid was so tough it felt like chewing on rubber. The steamed rice rolls with peanut sauce were another letdown; instead of being freshly steamed, the noodles seemed microwaved, making them firm and dry rather than soft and chewy. I also ordered a fish and tofu dish covered in brown sauce, but it was completely bland. I really wanted to like this place, especially after giving it multiple chances, but unfortunately the third time was not the charm.

If you have ever been to Taiwan, walking in here feels like stepping right back there! It has such cozy vibes that perfectly capture the feeling of early 2000s Taiwanese MVs. We were also able to park right out front, which was super convenient! A huge shout-out to Daniel, who showed us incredible hospitality! Even though the restaurant was full and he was managing the front solo, he handled everything with such grace. He kindly asked a customer if they could offer my wife and our baby a seat, brought us our drinks immediately in case we needed to drink while waiting for the food, and made sure we were completely comfortable while juggling other orders. Thank you, Daniel! As for the food, it's always consistent in the best way possible. We ordered our usuals: the braised pork with rice, the popcorn chicken with rice, and the kumquat lemon drinks. The quality is top-notch, and the portion sizes always leave us feeling full and satisfied! My wife would usually eat half the bowl and save the other half for the next day. FYI: If the restaurant gets busy, there is a kiosk inside where you can order and pay, which makes the whole process very convenient. Highly recommended!

The beef noodle soup is rich and comforting with a deep tomato flavor, and the beef is tender and flavorful.

The space is definitely on the smaller side, but service is super quick and efficient, which makes it ideal for a fast bite. Portions are generous, and the flavors taste very authentic, which keeps me coming back almost every weekend.

Crispy outside with packed filling. Scallion pancake: $4.90 not as crispy as above. Generous portion. Family meal combo $52.00: 3 dishes , white rice and soup. We had: Pork chop Peking style: crispy deep fried pork chop coated with sweet abd sour sauce. A favorite for kids. Chunk chicken Taiwan: a casserole dish with enough heat. Very flavorful. It's a hearted heavier seasoned dish. Braided pork belly: another casserole dish with heat. Full of wok chi (wok heat). Sauce is more heavily seasoned. It's a fatty meat due to pork belly. Overall we are satisfied. It's a good quiet neighborhood restaurant which has been opened for at least 10 years. Service was good. Food service time was quick. Parking is easy in the evening. Will return. Credit card accepted if more than $30 transaction. Card and cash same price.

Got the Taiwanese pork chop rice, I appreciate that they are smaller medallions which is easy to give to my toddler but it's a bit greasy and flavorless. Interestingly enough soup dumplings are pretty good, but the fried wonton are meh. Not really a fan of the open ends, which means all the juice is already leaked out. The eggplant lunch special was pretty good but there's absolutely no meat. For a Friday where there was only 2 other tables the entire time we were there the service was crap. I thought it was bad last time I was there when it was packed but I guess it doesn't matter. I usually expect bad service at Chinese places but they didn't even give my toddler a fork which is a whole new level of bad. And of course the service is super slow, the lady that is there just can't do it all herself. My biggest gripe about this place is the Taiwanese food just isn't great.
