I happened upon Lao Yu Yuan Dumpling House as I walked through the Arcadia Mall. They are an aesthetically pleasing Shanghainese restaurant that caught my eye. They specialize specifically in dumplings. I have a soft spot for soup dumplings, so I immediately ordered crab and pork, shrimp and pork as well as chicken soup dumplings to go. The soup dumplings are made to order so it took a good 15-20 minutes to get. I wasn't disappointed though, as they were packaged nicely. The soup dumplings were in sturdy containers along with side sauces that were well wrapped in plastic. This is really important as the sauces add umami and is a nice accompaniment to the soup dumplings. The soup dumplings all tasted fresh and the dough that encased the filling wasn't too thick. In my opinion the dough to filling ratio was just right and the amount of soup in each dumpling was perfection. I'll be back for a sit down, so I can try more of their traditional Shanghainese dishes served. read more

Ordered for pick up. Just in case the restaurant is in the back or the mall context first floor. Dumplings were amazing. The rice was a hearty portion that I had enough for left overs. Service was quick and kind. Ambiance from what I saw is casual and the decor is nice. If in the area I would want to sit in and try other times of dim sum. read more

Consistently solid Shanghainese restaurant in Flushing -- definitely one of my favourites in the area, and it's never too busy or pricey (probably cos it's a bit further away from the "main" central area of downtown Flushing). If you order above a certain amount (I think $30), you can get a free order of the soup dumplings 鮮肉小籠包 (or get free validated parking?). They are really delicious and definitely one of the highlights of this restaurant! They are just practically overflowing with so much soup, with really thin skins and such fragrant, juicy pork fillings. Some other must-tries: - Chilli oil wontons 紅油抄手 were fantastic. Portion size was a little larger than I expected, and the chilli oil smelled so good! - Scallion pancake with beef 蔥油餅夾牛肉 is one of my favourites. The wrapper was very crispy and the beef was tender and very savoury. The balance of the slightly-sharp scallion flavour was perfect. - Fried chinese chives box 韭菜盒子, another classic. Lovely crispy outside layer with a delicious fresh chives/noodles/etc. filling. - Soymilks - I've had both the hot and cold sweet soymilks, and they are both delicious. You can't go wrong here. The location is a bit hidden (in the back of a small mall), which I suspect is why it's not busier. I've never had to wait, even during weekend lunch hours. Service is always very efficient and to-the-point, which I appreciate. read more

The food was terrible. Workers speaks mandarin and no english. I order a pork with noodles. The pork was like pressed head cheese. The broth was cloudy and stale. This is Shang Heinese food so I can't tell if that was normal. My friend said their food suppose taste a little sour. Not going back again, I'll stick to cantonese food much better. read more

Came in on Saturday night for family dinner and eldest sister was running late, but my in laws arrived super early, fortunately the staff here was patient and let us take our time gathering our people! My daughter loves shengjianbao so Ama found Lao Yu Yuan as a Shanghainese option in the area. We ended up ordering kind of a lot of food and had leftovers to take home in the end! There is a cold appetizers section, so we tried their gluten appetizer (kaofu) and special yellow chicken. Chicken was tender and you cannot miss the delicious savory sauce. The manager? recommended the eel noodles which was so flavorful and a dish I hadn't tried before. Rice cakes had the perfect chewy texture And they served us complimentary xiaolongbao for ordering above their threshold. I also love the decor, it feels bright and open. It's a smallish space but comfortable for groups. Loved everything we tried! read more

Only tried their XLB but they definitely hit it out of the park! Skin was so thin and the dumplings had a decent amount of soup. So tasty and closest to what I'd replicate on my own when I make them. Yum! Restaurant is tucked away towards the back of a mall. You have to walk a bit from Main Street to get here, but it's worth it to avoid the usual bustle of this area. Service was also quite good though they largely speak Chinese so if you don't, this may differ. Will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu! read more

Hidden inside the first floor of an apt. complex is this great spot for soup dumplings and a variety of traditional breakfast dishes and fresh soy milk. This is located near Franklin Ave. and Main Street minutes away from the center of downtown Flushing. We ordered some light snacks and noodles and everything was fresh and tasty. The soup dumplings were great as well. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Came without a reservation on Sunday around dinner time. Parking in flushing is always a pain but was able to find some street parking, free on Sundays. It was surprisingly empty inside given the quality of food we got. The servers were very friendly and helpful, we had a great experience with them. The restaurant was located inside a mall, but it was clean and organized, and fairly easy to find in the mall. But this could be why it was not as busy, not the most convenient location. We ordered the truffle, beef, and mixed soup dumplings and the house gave us an extra tray of pork soup dumplings for free. The soup dumplings were great! We have been to many flushing soup dumpling places and I liked this place better than some of the bigger name ones around the area, so far this is my favorite after closing of kung fu soup dumplings. We also got the spicy pork noodles, which were so good! Everything here were very authentic and not to mention the price, very reasonable. Would definitely come again next time we are craving soup dumplings, and hoping this restaurant would get more recognition soon! read more

Still a favorite hidden gem! It's in the back of Arcadia Mall and has open seating inside which is interesting. We love the food here- the braised pork is one of our favorites. The sauce is sweet and has quail eggs! We also like the beef scallion pancake, soup dumplings, and string beans. Workers are very friendly as well- great place all around so highly recommend! read more

Pork dumplings that taste the closest to what grams used to make. Very consistent in the way they make their dishes. Every time we go there we end up ordering more than we can finish at the place. Have gotten good service during each visit. The atmosphere is very casual. This place is definitely one of my go-tos. The restaurant sits inside of a mall that seems to be falling out of the masses favor. Most of the retail stores in it are now closed. I hope other restaurants open in their place to keep the mall open. read more

An ok place for Shanghainese food. Crab soup dumplings. I've had better elsewhere. The knot on top was a bit too thick. Crab pieces had a very strong fishy aftertaste. My companion refused to eat any more, after tasting just one. Fried Pork buns were good. Tender and bouncy bun. Filling was good but could have been more juicy. Fried perfectly to a nice golden hue. Bathrooms are outside the restaurant and in the downstairs of the food court. Decor: nicely presented. Tables were a bit narrow, but made for easier conversation. read more

Lao Yu Yuan Dumpling House - Fried Pork buns - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

My favorite place to get soup dumplings! It tastes authentic and perfect. Service is always quick. I have only gotten take out but would like to dine-in one day if it is convenient. I have also tried their Shanghai noodles and it was pretty tasty as well. Ambiance seems pretty decent since it is located in a small shopping center. This is my go-to spot when I am craving Shanghainese food in Queens. read more

Shanghai Restaurant located inside the Acadia Mall. It's nice to see they are making great use of the space they're in. The seating is plenty but definitely with smaller groups in mind. They are able to accommodate larger groups 6+ but a reservation is suggested in that case. The seats look like they can be configured to fit larger if planned ahead of time. This visit, we were a party of nine. I felt comfortable and not sandwiched by my neighbors. Lighting is good and plenty of service staff on hand. Some of the misses: salted egg yolk crab and rice cake. I wanted this dish to be great but it was just okay. Crab portion was decent but the flavors were just shy of great. Color looked promising but overall too much work to eat. Another miss, sadly was the wine chicken appetizer. Likely over marinated and the chicken was too skinny. Even the color seemed a tad off. Note: if you spend over $50 or $100, you get a free order of the soup dumplings with your meal. We ordered over ten dishes so we definitely made that minimum. The soup dumplings were good but nothing memorable about them. The chili oil and peanut sauce wontons were good but ran on the smaller side and I'm shocking myself by saying that they were not spicy. Nothing chili oil on the side can't fix. Fried dumplings and scallion pancakes were good. The fish with plum sauce was quite enjoyable. Great for sharing, as was the seafood pan fried noodles. We ordered plenty and everything else was fine but nothing was a must try. Came here for the convenience of the location and because it was recommended by a family friend. Figured we try. read more

TLDR: Dumpling Galaxy's space is now occupied by Lao Yu Yuan Dumpling House. Similar type of menu format as Shanghai You, Nan Xiang, etc. Found the carb dishes to be more interesting than the soup dumplings. Decent enough I'd come back if in the area. Salted Egg Yolk Rice Cakes with Shrimp - excellent. There is parking downstairs where they validate. It's not free parking but it is discounted. How did we end up here? The line at Kong Sihk Tong was just absurd and we were wondering what this new spot where Dumpling Galaxy used to be was. Got sat at a very small table but ordered a few things. Like their counterparts - you get a complimentary pork soup dumpling with about $30 worth of other things. Spicy dry seven treasure noodle. An assortment of shrimp, pork, chicken, etc. in a mildly spicy sauce over noodles. Tasty enough - I would probably eat it again although I'd rather dry some other items. Scallion beef pancake. Crispy, decently seasoned beef slice, as thin as you can get on the pancake. Salted egg yolk rice cakes with shrimp. Arguably the best thing we had here. Al dente slices of rice cake, nice yolky umami from the salted egg yolk, bouncy shrimp in between bites. I would come back here for this alone. Would I make my way out here as a destination? Probably not but if you're in the area and are looking for Shanghainese without going closer to the 7, not bad. They also validate parking as a plus. read more

Nestled inside the Acadia Mall is a newcomer, Lao Yu Yuan Dumpling House. I ordered on the phone for takeout, and they were quick to take the order, as was the pickup process. One issue is that they quoted us a price over the phone, but the receipt showed a different price, and when you pay with a card, you pay a different price. What I ordered: Pork and Crab Dumpling - My group said this was good. Pork Dumpling - This was yummy and has a heavy pork flavor. Pan-fried Pork Buns - Juicy and meaty pork-filled buns Shanghai Udon Noodles - Bouncy, flavorful udon Salted Egg + Crab Rice Cake - Great, but missing another layer of flavor Pork chop over rice - The pork chop was nice and crispy, but the meat sauce was very salty. read more

Important Update: heard that the head chef has left after only one week after grand opening. Follow up visit was lackluster at best. Very noticeable difference in Gi Choi Wonton and Snow Cabbage & Edamame. Hope he comes back, otherwise, I think Lao Ke Le Shanghai Cuisine will be my preferred new Shanghainese restaurant. They both opened around the same time. Cuisine: 8 Service: 7 Decor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 After two visits during their soft opening, I can safely say that I will be revisiting this restaurant regularly. Though not everything was perfect, much of the food here definitely reminds me a lot of what I experienced as a child growing up in Shanghai. Being a new Shanghainese restaurant, we had to try some of the most iconic cuisine from my hometown. Overall, the dim sums were a bit of a letdown, but the cold and hot dishes are where they really shine. 1. Salty Soybean Milk - Not what we expected and somewhat lacking. Would not get again. 2. Gi Choi Wonton - These are traditional wontons made with pork and sheperd's purse (gi choi). Though the name is poorly translated, these are some of the best Shanghainese style wontons in NYC. When I want something light and clean, I will come for this. 3. Soup Dumpling w. Pork - Wrapper on these were a bit thick and sticky, but the filling and soup were quite good. Not what I would come here for when there are so many better options in Flushing. 4. Soup Dumpling w. Crab Meat & Pork - Skin on these were definitely better on these. I wish there was more crab flavor to the broth and the filling was a bit too loose. Once again, go elsewhere. 5. Turnip Puff w. Pork - What's inside was delicious! Unfortunately, the pastry crust needs to be crispier and flakier. The server said it usually would be, so hopefully it improves. I would give this item another chance. 6. Fried Bean Gluten - This cold dish was excellent and the flavors were on point. However, know that it is meant to be sweet and savory, therefore be mindful if you do not like sugar in your food. 7. Braised Fish w. Sesame - Another classic cold dish done relatively well. . Usually made with fresh crap, this fish is fried and then marinated in a sweet soy sauce. Be careful of bones. 8. Chicken in Wine Sauce - Skip! The meat was not tender and the wine was a bit sour. 9. Snow Cabbage & Edamame - Dish of the night! Wow! Best version in NYC period. Description leaves out that the bean curd "noodles" that is the star of the show. If you ask them to remove the shredded pork, this item can be made vegetarian. 10. Squirrel Fish - Never understood the name, it is basically a deep fried grass carp (best guess) drenched in a sweet and sour sauce, drizzled with pine nuts and peas. Flavors were good. Could be crispier. 11. Braised Deep Fried Round Hoof - If you got a large group, this entree can be the centerpiece. The mostly lean pork was delicious dipped in the sweet soy sauce. It is surrounded by a melt in your mouth pork skin (best part) that makes you forget that you're on a diet. 12. Gi Choy, Bamboo w. Pork Rice Cake - If you see shepherd's purse, bamboo and pork together on or in anything, it is likely a Shanghainese classic, as was this offering. Chewy rice cake stir fried with this tasty combination is absolutely heavenly to me. 13. Shanghai Pork Rice w. Vegetable - Very hard to find a good version of this item in NYC. We make it at home all the time. Made with salted pork and bok choy, this dish is finished off with a scoop of lard to add flavor. Though quite good, they did overdo it with the lard and made the rice a little too oily. I told the servers and hope they fix this mistake. The leftovers we took home tasted better after I added a little more rice. Honestly, I am excited to find a chef from Shanghai that can produce food that comes close to my memories. I would not come here for the dim sums except for the wontons, but hopefully as they improve over time, this may be where I get my fix of Shanghainese cuisine. read more

Probably my favorite XLB thus far. Portion is also so worth it for the price and quality. Their stir fried noodles are good and soy milk is also good!! Not a fan of the pan fried dumplings.. there's no juice inside and the skin is very thick but its ok, I'm definitely coming back here for XLB!!! Bring cash - they want you to tip in cash! read more

If i'm craving soup dumplings and want to avoid the bustle/crowds, i come here. The soup dumplings they serve are consistently decent and they hit the spot. There are other food items on the menu such as the stir fried and bowl of noodles that are tasty. They are also reasonably priced for the amount of food they serve. The service is usually attentive. This restaurant has gotten busier lately, so it's a good thing for the restaurant. However. I don't want to begin a new search for another less crowded spot to get my xlb fix. read more

I love their xiao long Bao, stir fried eel in hot oil, braised pork, crab seafood pan-fried noodles, and squash and loofa sponge. The taste is authentic and cooked to perfection =P. I'd come back whenever I can as a staple for to satisfy my cravings. Their staff is helpful, friendly, and fast. If they had their own location and restrooms, it might be even nicer. The smell of durian next door can be quite strong if you're not a fan. They validate parking for two hours of give you a free stack of soup pork buns. read more

So we went to Lao Yu Yuan Dumpling House about three weeks ago. We had a great food experience, as everything we ordered was delicious. We had the pork chop on rice (5 out of 5), the sticky rice dumplings (5 out of 5), fried dumplings (5 out of 5), and the spicy sour beef noodle soup (5 out of 5). We secretly thought we found a place no one knew about, as the restaurant was inside the Arcadia Mall. We highly anticipated another great meal on our second visit and wanted to try their breakfast options. It started well as the tea was served hot compared to room temperature previously. The first item is salty sticky rice - three-quarters rice than the pork floss, pickled cabbage, and fried culler (1 out of 5). Where were the ingredients? Then the sesame puff - doughing. No taste of sesame, and it wasn't flakey. (1 out of 5) The last dish that was disappointing was the Scallion Pancake with Beef (1 out of 5). The scallion pancake was deep-fried. It was dry and crunchy instead of the usual soft texture. It seems like a refried item from the previous night. Where is the beef? - single slices. It was terrible. I still have the greasy, oiling taste of the scallion pancake. I didn't even want to take any of the pictures. If you plan to come to Lao, skip the breakfast items and go with everything else. read more

New spot opened a few months ago in Flushing. Stopped in for lunch and pleasantly surprised. Dining Area is clean and brightly lit. Tables are meant for 2 or 4 ppl so larger parties require tables to be pushed together to make a larger table (or for those of us who order a lot of food). Food was pretty good, especially the shrimp & crab noodles. Xiao Long Bao w/Truffle had thick skin and truffle was overwhelming, so not worth the price. Pastries and small plates were generally pretty tasty but the Fried Crueller was clearly fried in oil that wasn't hot enough and came out light yellow and chewy instead of brown and crunchy. Service a bit all over the place...some servers knew what was going on with the restaurant & food, others looked lost or confused when asked a question about the history of a dish that's on the menu. Even our primary server looked disinterested with us initially and missed a few items when taking our order. Then she was smiling and very nice when we left and encouraging us to come back again. In between, she was either busy answering the phone or leaning on the pick up counter. Overall, will return to try more items. read more

After many years of having Dumpling Galaxy reign in this spot I was curious to see who had taken over the space. What I found was this newcomer offering shanghainese cuisine that has put a special spin on a lot of trending flavors that are sure to entice your adventurous palate. We had made a reservation which I was glad we did. The restaurant still had an open layout with many tables and booth type seating and it is not an enclosed space so you can look out into the rest of the mall. Despite the hour long wait to order on a Saturday afternoon we were just sitting around catching up so we didn't necessarily rush. The place was bustling despite it's distance from the center of downtown Flushing. We had to of course get a bunch of soup dumplings - we got the pork, the crab and the fried ones. The skin held up to the test of chopstick, spoon, dip and transfer to the mouth. I enjoyed them since they were not scorchingly hot. I desperately wanted to try the crab noodles which were surprisingly not too rich. There was ample sauce covering every last bit of noodle and the shrimp added to the extra briny flavor. I wish I had ordered some rice to eat with that leftover silky crab sauce or even some bread to sop it up. The scallion pancake was super crispy and made for a nice crunchy bite between the dishes. The fried dumplings were not too doughy and a bit chewy but not bad it had a good slurp of soup hidden inside though I wanted it to be a bit more fried. I definitely enjoyed the salted duck egg rice cake. It was prepared similar to the crab noodles with shrimp but covered in a puree of salted duck egg yolks. It was hard to wrap my mind around the flavor not as funky as one would expect and smooth despite the mouth feel of the crumbly yolks and the shrimp were an added bonus. The rice cakes were the softest I have ever had. Sometimes I feel like I will lose a tooth from chewing rice cakes so I don't usually order them but I appreciated how these were cooked really well through. At the end I washed this all down with some sweet, cold, soy milk which was very refreshing on a hot day. This is one of the meals I think about often as it made me try something in a way that was familiar yet I have never had before so I will definitely return and bring more friends. read more

We came in for lunch with my pop on a Saturday. Clean and open space, service was a bit lacking and food was okay but not great. The Salty Soybean Milk and Scallion Pancake was so-so. Pork & Snow Cabbage Rice Cake and Beef Pan Fried noodle was not bad, but def had better. The soup dumplings were quite flavorful. It is at a convenient and okay spot to have a meal without going into the heart of crowded Flushing. read more

Taking over the bones of the old Dumpling Galaxy in the Arcadia Mall (which is most definitely showing its age), this place is another Shanghainese restaurant in Flushing. While we didn't get the soup dumplings, we did get a bunch of Shanghainese staples which overall were just average. The seitan with mushrooms was about what you get from any other Shanghainese place. Pork dumplings were ok but skin was a tad thick. Potstickers were also average. Soy milk was good but their eight treasures spicy sauce noodles was weird - they use cumin in the sauce which isn't really what I want in Shanghainese food. Service is decent. Prices are fair for Flushing. The space is about as nice as you're going to get in Arcadia and they really need to spruce up the mall since it's really starting to age poorly. read more

A decent place, though I feel that you can find better soup dumplings elsewhere. I mostly like how the restaurant is clean and bright, aesthetics was also a nice touch. It's located inside Arcadia Mall, towards the back section. Definitely a bit far from the main area of flushing. They also accept credit card. In terms of service it was very good, the waiter gave us complimentary soup dumplings on the house and there was not much of a wait for a table as well. What we ordered: Soy milk Pork soup dumpling Crab soup dumpling Scallion pancake with beef Tomato beef stew noodle soup Soy milk was cold and refreshing, even though it was in the breakfast section the waiter said it was still available in the evening time. Again soup dumplings were ok, though if given a choice I would opt for the pork over the crab. Scallion pancake with beef was decent, but I feel that shanghai you garden makes it better. But the star of the entire meal was definitely the noodle soup. The broth has a depth of flavor and makes one of the top places for beef stew noodles. Overall would come here again when I'm in the area and I'd definitely aim for the noodles rather than the soup dumplings. read more

Lao Yu Yuan Dumpling House - 36. Six Piece Soup Dumpling - Shanghainese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Went to this new dumpling house in Flushing and was pleasantly surprised. We got their Sautéed Snow Pea Leaves with Garlic and this is my favorite vegetable dish to order at a Chinese restaurant. These did not disappoint. Might've been the best I've ever had. I love soup dumplings, so I was super excited to try their Mixed Soup Dumplings to taste a bit of everything. All of them were delicious but my favorites were the Truffle Pork Soup Dumplings and the Pork Soup Dumplings! They put so much meat and soup into their dumplings. We also tried their Pan Fried Pork Dumplings which were delicious as well. They were so juicy on the inside, yet crispy on the outside. For noodles we go the House Special Pan Fried Noodle dish which was a generous portion with so much meat, noodles, and vegetables. I loved the texture of the noodles as well as the sauce. We had to try their Pork and Vegetable Wontons in chili oil. The sauce on this was perfection. Sweet and a touch spicy. The wontons in this sauce are addicting. For our last dish, we ordered the Spicy Crispy Shrimp and this was massive. We did not expect a huge soup dish, but it was so delicious and definitely spicy. Definitely check this place out for dumplings, noodles, and more! Will definitely be back to try more! - Sautéed Snow Pea Leaves w/ Garlic - Mixed Soup Dumplings - Pan Fried Pork Dumplings - House Special Pan Fried Noodle - Pork and Veg Wontons in Chili Oil - Spicy Crispy Shrimp read more

Went there on a Saturday. Once upon seating, the waiter came by immediately. After telling him that we needed more time to determine if we wanted the Squirrel Fish, he proceeded to write it down regardless and proclaimed that's the most popular dish and rushed us to complete the order. Alright, his wish was granted, we ordered the 'famous' Squirrel Fish, Sautéed String Beans, soup dumpling, Sesame Puff Pancake with Crispy Dough. The crispy dough came first and the Sesame pancake arrived as we were mid way into the meal. Never been to any restaurants that an order is automatically split into two courses, odd! The fish has way too much ketchup and battering, I ended up burbing for the rest of the day. The string beans is indeed very tasty. In summary, the price is good and seatings are comfortable. Food is mediocre though. read more
