Even though this place doesn't have table service, she came over several times to check on us and make sure everything was good. She was incredibly sweet and attentive!

Love this place based on its setup. After the Met game I walked over to Flushing and stopped by…read moreabout a hr before closing. A handful of people. The original beef noodles is $11. I got that and the cucumber salad for $4 (which was small and boring, pass on this). Paid in cash. No tax. Long restaurant. Self serve. No tipping. No wait staff but there is a person in the front. You get your food on the counter in the back of the restaurant. There is a fixin bar with scallion, cilantro and sauces. The broth was plain and beef was nothing special. But after attacking the fixin bar the broth becomes what you want either sweet or spicy. Indeed you can refill your rice noodles, bring your bowl back and the lady will refill along with broth. I did this 1x but will do more next time. Bathroom is available Will come back. Maybe not the best quality but functionality and pricing is a nice setup.

As a Fuzhounese who grew up eating fish balls, peanut sauce noodles, and other Fuzhou specialties,…read moreI can say this place is legit! Everything tastes authentic and honestly reminded me of home. One thing to note: if you only read English, ordering might be a little challenging since the menu is entirely in Chinese. They also sell frozen dumplings, fish balls, and buns in the front. If you're like me and really enjoy their food but don't get to Flushing often, grabbing a couple of bags of these frozen goodies is a must before leaving! There is a bathroom for customers only, but you'll need to ask the cashier for the key. We ordered some of the signature Fuzhou dishes, including A (peanut sauce noodles), C, and D. I also tried #8, which I probably wouldn't order again. The noodle soup didn't have enough ingredients and felt a little lacking compared with the other dishes. Everything is pretty much self-service, so there's no need to tip. Seating is limited, and the tables are fairly close together. But hey, that's part of the charm of this type of Chinese street food! Definitely coming back the next time I'm in town.

Cuisine: 9 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 3 Value: 10 Overall: 9 Maybe the worst kept secret in Flushing, this is where I go for the best meal at the cheapest price. I swear Yelp must have removed my review because I was the first person to review this second location of a popular eatery specializing in cuisine from Fuzhou, China. It is a sister restaurant to the ultra popular Shu Jiao Fu Zhou in Chinatown. I've been following this shop for decades when they were still part of the Golden Mall with a different name. Anyway, let me shower them with one more glowing review. Even with the recent price increases, for a mere $20 dollars, you can still feed a family of four. How many restaurants can you find nowadays that fit this criteria? No true cheap eats food tour in Flushing is complete without making a stop here. As for quality, they have imho the best Pork & Chive Dumplings (K. 猪肉韭菜水饺) in Flushing, along with the best Wheat Noodles in Peanut Sauce (A. 拌面). I also get a few other items like Mini Pork Dumplings (E. 燕丸), Mini Pork Wontons (扁肉), and Fish Balls (D. 鱼丸). The menu is in Chinese only, but don't get intimidated. Check my pictures for exact items to order. Besides, at these prices, you can't make too terrible of a mistake right? I don't need to tell you that this place is a dive and service is minimal (but fast). However, no one eating here regularly gives 2 cents about that stuff. Just focus on the freshly made delicious food you're getting for less than any fast food chain out there.

It's always quick here, nice and cool during the summer days. Everyone is just relaxing having their own bowl, not noisy. I always order B1 which is their beef shank vermicelli noodle soup and I ask for spicy. The soup is spot on, super umami. Beef is melt in your mouth cubes but I always wished they would put more in lol - but for $10 so it's good enough. I always eat a bowl and it's just the right amount, without feeling over stuffed. The rice noodles have a good consistency. Recommended for a solid bowl of beef vermicelli noodle soup. I'll try other items on their menu.

Compared to some other places, I'd say their spice level is a little more intense. The lady who helped us didn't speak much English so we were pointing at ingredients and she was patient with us lol Depending on what time of the day you go, it's suuuper crowded and hard to find seats. Tip: go buy drinks upstairs at the store and eat downstairs!

When I see what people are eating at New World Mall, there's a large chunk that's eating Malatang,…read moreso I had to try it out. It was a bit confusing on how to order as they asked me to separate the vegetables from the meats even though on the menu, you measure per pound. At the end, I ordered an assortment of 5 vegetables and 3 different types of meat and they automatically gave me 2 bowls of rice. I'm not sure if it's a meal set, but it turned out to be around $26. My favorite parts were the lotus root as well as the fish that was fried to perfection with lots of spicy flavors. I ordered less spicy and I didn't think it was too bad. I will say though compared to other mala pots I've had like from Mala Project, the flavors were not as strong. Either way it was good bang for your buck as we couldn't finish the dish at the end.

Seating is limited, breakfast time will be hard to find a seat. Best Tianjin food in Flushing, they specialize in "tofu brain" which is just super soft homemade tofu with a delicious savory sauce over it. The sauce is similar to hot and sour soup, is the closest way to describe it but thicker. You can add spice or not. Pair it some fresh buns and it's an ideal breakfast. My favorite is the lamb bun but today I went at 2PM so the lady there reminded me it's not fresh anymore (she can microwave it but don't recommend to), and recommended me the veggie bun that's straight out of the steamer. I paid $4.75, cash only of course. Side note: some reviewers are leaving reviews for the Fuzhounese stall that's next to Sheng Jin it's not the same but they've got some good Fuzhou style noodles and wontons there! Eat everything while you're here but wanted to call that out, 2 different establishments. This Yelp page is for Sheng Jin which is the Tianjin style food.

Also the price for a quart size congee is so fair and reasonable. I've actually never dined in before, only ordered delivery, but it hits every single time.

The Chang fen is all fresh made so the wait time is about 10-15 minutes. We had two Chang fen and one congee, compared to other Chinese food Chang fen is light. They only accept cash and Zelle! The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they use disposable tableware.

On a Thursday night, there was only one other couple there enjoying their dry pot bowls. When we were ready, we grabbed a large mixing bowl and the server hit a hidden switch that raised the thermal curtain to all the food choices. It's like being in a candy store and you had free rein. You make your own choices and pick from the bins in the refrigerated case with the provided tongs. We decided to have a single bowl and made it a family meal for 3. Once you make your selections from all the different fish balls, seafood, multi-variations of tofu, mushrooms, vegetables & noodles, hand the bowl to the server to be weighed ($ per pound) and let them know how you would like it to be cooked. You have a choice of noodle soup, fried or dry pot. We elected dry pot, which is basically wok stir fried. You can also add beef or lamb for $3 per serving and we asked for double beef. They also serve BBQ skewers of beef, lamb & chicken, so we tried 2 lamb sticks. Be careful when you order the spice level because it can be misleading. White is totally no spice, while Mild is 2 pepper signs, Medium is 3 peppers and Spicy is 4. We went with mild and it was plenty spicy for me because I fished out 6 pieces of dried red chili peppers from our pot. I don't even want to be in the same room with Level 4 for fear of it scorching my tongue. Make sure to have enough white rice ($2/bowl) to cut the spiciness and to make good use of the self-serve water dispenser. If you can sit right next to it, more power to you.
