    Pickled vegetables and fish soup.
    William K.

    If you haven't been to one of the newest food courts in Flushing, you should definitely give this area a try. The entire lower level of the Super HK Supermarket is filled with great gems for quick satisfying bites. One of them is Kei Lai Quin. Located conveniently next to a large paid parking lot and various buses on Main street, this small stall features sizable flavors. The favorite that most patrons seem to order is the Pickled Fish Soup. In addition to that dish, we ordered some garlic infused tender vegetables and some pork knuckles. The fish dish was a large bowl filled with tender flavorful fish fillets (careful of small bones) and a savory, sweet and sour broth. At the bottom of this bowl we're picked vegetables, some vermecelli, and cabbage. The dish really makes you want to eat a few bowls of rice, which we actually did! The other dishes (which is why the 4 stars) were alright. The vegetables were very easy to eat as sometimes Chinese vegetable fishes require a good deal of chewing. We would definitely come back for this wonderful meal and perhaps give other stalls a try!

    Pretty much anything you eat in Flushing is going to be good, but every now and then, you try something that is truly transformative. A dish that is so much more than the sum of its ingredients and a dish that you'll remember and bring your guests to try in the future. "Fish filets in pickled vegetable soup" is just such a dish. Came to the new Super HK food court today and this was the dish that caught our eye as we descended the steps into the center of the food court. It took around 10 minutes to make, but I was soon called back to the counter to find a gigantic bowl of fish and soup waiting for me. Just looking at the broth, it was obvious that it was going to be special. A lot of fresh fish was included. The fish belly was sliced and was incredibly tender and flavorful. The bones were deep fried and then included into the dish. The tofu skins, the glass noodles, and the fresh herbs were all made better by the broth. And that broth itself was amazing. It was so complex and one of those rare times where it really was impossible to identify what made it so good. It was a really rich broth that we think got its depth of flavor from the fish bones that had been deep fried. This broth was balanced by the acidity of the pickled mustard greens. There were some peppers and some ground white pepper. Altogether, it was such a distinctive flavor that I can almost taste it as I write this. The dish is offered in three sizes. There's a $17 size which comes with one bowl of rice. There's a $20 size that comes with two bowls of rice. And there's a $32 size which comes with four bowls of rice. For the three of us, we went with the $20 size. They were also nice enough to supply an extra bowl of rice for free without me even asking since they saw we had a total of three people sharing. Don't be worried if you get charged an extra $5. That's just the deposit for the bowl. Bring the bowl back and you get your $5 back. That's pretty common when eating in the Flushing food courts that provide actual dishware. We still had quite a bit of broth left over when we brought the bowl back and the nice person at the counter offered to give us a to-go box to bring the rest home. We also got the sauteed string beans, which were tasty, but at $8 seemed a bit pricey. In comparison, for around $10, you can get a full protein entree with rice. So not the best deal, but sometimes you need to eat some vegetables. Everything that stall put out looked and smelled delicious. I saw someone walking away with a full lobster. And they have a spicy version of the same fish dish, but it looked like almost everyone was ordering the pickled vegetable version instead. Bravo.

    Great fish-head dishes and sautéed veggies. The fish-soup used to be better though using life-fish.

    Food takes forever to come out, and the stone pot crab was a bit bland. I'll give fish dishes a chance next time, though.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

    Whether you speak Spanish or Cantonese, the waiters here can help get you whatever dish your heart…read moredesires. It's amazing to step into this restaurant, it's like stepping into another world where anything is possible. I feel like home whenever I come here. My favorable dishes are the combo dishes because I can choose fried rice or noodles or French fries with a meat usually, Yummylicious to the core!

    The menu here is split into two sections, classic American Chinese take out and Sichuan cooking…read more Seems to be a fairly popular take out spot, as they were fulfilling many delivery orders while I was there, but the interior is comfortable and elegantly decorated unlike a standard take out only spot. I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.

    Food is good, quiet and clean…read more Service is impeccable. My fiance and I drink water like fish. Our glasses were never empty. Warning to all with a pineapple allergy like me: do not eat the duck sauce. If you like spicy ask for hot mustard instead. Orange chicken was crispy and flavorful. I did not find it spicy, but my spice tolerance is very high. My fiance had the chicken with broccoli and it looked amazing. Try the cold noodles. They are chewy and delicious. For me the fried dumplings were good, but not great. Worth a try but nothing to rave over.
