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.

Good over rice deals, slightly lower price during their lunch hours. Tried a few, some hits and misses for us. Some picks which we liked are pork with bamboo shoots, beef with bittermelon, fried fish fillets, salty fish and chicken fried rice. Pork with scallion chilli was good, at less spicy level for me. Beef chow fun was ok. Three cup chicken wasn't for me, plain with slightly gingery flavor, need to have basil with each bite, small bone pieces (be careful); and Beef stew meat wasn't tender, tough and chewy. Have been here for larger family get togethers and enjoyed the food then as well.

Big plus: they're open late until 11 pm, which is always appreciated. They have a solid list of over-rice combos, all reasonably priced around $11-$12, with generous portions. I ordered the beef with bitter melon over rice, and this alone guarantees I'll be back. It's the first time I've seen this combo offered anywhere, and it was surprisingly delicious, even with the natural bitterness of the bitter melon. My husband ordered the beef with bamboo shoots over rice, and that was tasty as well. Everything came out flavorful and satisfying. Service was another highlight -- the wait staff was quick to refill our hot tea, and the place was clean and well-kept, even though we came close to closing time. Also glad to see that they accept cards though there is a $20 minimum. We also ordered the stinky tofu. While I wasn't used to the sauce they used (it had soy sauce and capers, which was a bit different from what I'm accustomed to), it didn't take away from how yummy the tofu itself was. Overall, this was a great late-night find, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on their menu. Glad we finally stopped in!

They've got a decent amount of seating but it's not a big place. Place looks clean and spacious, minimal decorations. 2 wait staffs. We got the combo set for 2 ppl which comes with your choice of a main fish dish (any flavor from their fish pot menu, we got their signature golden broth) and it comes with your choice of 4 ingredients to add to the fish dish (we picked tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, vermicelli noodles, and bok choy), a side of fried chicken nuggets, and 2 drinks (select from anything from their soft drinks menu, we got the coconut water). This also comes with 2 bowls of white rice. The menu indicated this was spicier with 3 chili pepper symbols but I didn't taste any spice...it's more like white pepper type of spicy but actually spicy spicy. Gold Broth Sauerkraut Fish Pot - super delicious, one of the better ones I've had and I've been to most of the places around Flushing and Bayside. The broth is drinkable and not very oily compared to many places. Snakehead fish was tender and fresh. There's also thinly sliced daikon radishes which comes with the fish in addition to the 4 sides we've added. 5 stars for taste. Fried chicken nuggets - we had to remind the waiter of this when we were almost done with our main dish, guess they forgot. The portion looks a bit sad compared to the picture shown on their menu, lol. Also they serve it with duck sauce which feels off too. Taste itself was fairly good. I think if they continue to serve this amount perhaps think of serving it in a smaller bowl or plate so it doesn't look underwhelming. The total came out to about $43 with tax and tips for 2 ppl. Decent price. I know the prior 2 reviews mentioned attentive service but I didn't see that in my experience, other tables I noticed also had to remind the waiters of their pending food items. I'll be back again to try some of their other fish dish flavors.

Thankfully they all knew what they wanted to order to begin with and there was zero language barrier. Service was FAST. There was probably a 15 minute wait for our first dish to come out. They're also good about changing your plates especially if you order escargot and seafood (which we did)- something I've never seen before. Food was also very delicious. Noteworthy dishes were twins lobster fried rice, sautéed grouper with veggies, and house special seafood stir fry delight. If I could've just ordered those three dishes over and over again, I would've! The chysanthemum tea also stood out. It was very fragrant and just right for all the dishes. The ones that didn't make my top list? The crabmeat and fish maw soup was underwhelming. Didn't have enough flavor to me and had to add red wine vinegar in hopes that it would help (it only helped a tiny bit). We got a house special live fish, and that also was underwhelming to me. Too bony, didn't taste as fresh as can be. Not worth the price. The escargot was interesting - was hoping that the peppers balanced the flavor, but they were a little too spicy to have complemented the snail in my opinion. If you like trying new things and super spicy food, go for this dish. The pu'er tea was a little too light for my liking, but if you like light tea, I would recommend. If you're in the area and can speak Canto/Mandarin, this is a great place to bring your family. Additionally: I'd recommend side street parking if you want to avoid potentially scratching the sides of your car in their convoluted garaging situation.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 7 Same ownership as next door Golden Wonton King, this place started out as a hot pot restaurant a couple years back. Now, it's simply an extension of the Cantonese cuisine being served 100 feet away. Due to their recent deals on live seafood, I have been here a few times with family and friends. The best deal is definitely a lobster cooked anyway you like for $10 plus 30% cooking fee ($3). In other words, $13 for a lobster or two for $26. However, be warned that ordering more lobsters will be $15 each plus 30% ($4.50), which means it $19.50 per lobster or $39 for two. There! i did the math for you. All live seafood in the tanks are priced the same way. After the cooking charge, most prices works out similarly compared to other competitors, if not higher. So don't fall for it. One of the other great deals I found was $20/lb for geoduck. We had one portion sashimi style and fried the belly portion. Both were delicious. Other than the live seafood tanks, I thought their best items were the Fried Salt & Pepper Pork Chops and Deep Fried Flounder (biggest size I have ever seen in a Cantonese restaurant). Roasted Squabs were decent too. I think I still prefer Golden Wonton King next door slightly more, but it's nice to have an alternative when there is a long line next door.

First time dining here even though I've walked by here for years. Came here on a Wednesday and…read morethere was a wait. Pro about this is that it's a good sign that the food should be good. 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. No seats so we decided to go hang out at tangram while we waited and waiting for her text/call. The little one has been hyped up so much from mukbangs that she's constantly craving crawfish. 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.

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!

My favorite is the Fish Congee, but the Sampan Congee is another favorite of mine. In general, all of the congees are consistently good. As for the roast meats, I think their best item is the Soy Sauce Chicken, which is made well. The rest are decent, but I would rather go to Five Loaves & Two Fishes nearby instead. The stuff I would skip here are items like their Wonton Noodle and Rice Rolls. Both are made poorly and not up to par versus the best around. Anyway, I believe this is not a Cantonese roast meat shop that can deliver everything I want. Regardless, I rarely drive by without stopping in to pick up some congee and possibly half a Soy Sauce Chicken.
