Excellent restaurant for Taiwanese style dishes. It feels more like a small family run restaurant…read more House soup 9/10 Their house soup is very well made, the flavors are fully absorbed into the soup, the meat is falling off the bone, and it tastes fresh. This is free with most orders so enjoy! Gua bao 8/10 Soft flavorful pork slices in light buns. They cover the pork in peanut powder so if you don't like peanut, bush it off or tell them ahead of time. Add a spicy sauce for an extra kick. Da lu mian 8/10 Healthy tasting mushroom soup. Lots of veggies, mainly mushrooms, no noodles, makes it a great alternative to meat. Lu Rou Fan 8/10 This is a little more inconsistent because sometimes it's amazing, super flavorful, savory and sweet. Other times it can be only OK. The egg is always fantastic though. The sauce and meat combination is what makes or breaks the dish flavor. Steamed veggie 8/10 Good quality fresh greens in stew sauce with bits of veggies in there. Bit pricey for greens but it's good and healthy.

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.

Lao Bei Fang is an Elmhurst institution and should be protected at all costs…read more In a neighborhood filled with flavors across all of Asia, northern Chinese cuisine is actually a rarity (compared to Flushing). Lao Bei Fang is the longest-standing, and likely the only establishment in that category. My staples are always their hand-pulled noodle soup (can't go wrong with either beef or lamb) and potstickers--always the first to get wiped out when I bring them to a potluck. The food was extremely filling and affordable when I was a college student, and now, as a grown-ass adult, it's nostalgic, unpretentious, still extremely filling and affordable in a dining scene where presentation and paying high prices seem to be the norm. Service is no-frills, order at the counter, and the people working here are kind and very efficient.

3.5 Overall Decent…read moresized space for the area. They weren't too packed on a weekend afternoon. They seem to get more takeout/delivery orders than dine in. You order on iPad at the table, and the staff is available if you have any questions. When you confirm your order on the iPad, they will confirm with you. Service is friendly and helpful. The food came out quick! Their kitchen is in the basement and they have the dumb waiter sending up food, so very efficient use of space. The Dumplings in Chili Oil (can adjust spice level and cilantro) has added texture with crushed peanuts. We got the regular spicy, but could have gotten extra spicy. They were a decent appetizer but I'd go for something else. The Abalone and Chicken Rice Noodles had decent chicken flavor. There were a couple pieces of dark meat, which I enjoyed. Not sure if there was abalone in here, but if there was, it was nondescript. The rice noodles were well cooked. The Plum Juice had a lovely smokey flavor, along with a lemony flavor form the couple of lemon slices inside. It was not too sweet, though I personally could go for less sugar. Overall, a decent spot for rice noodles. They do have multiple locations, so go to the one near you! No need to go out of your way.

This is my third or fourth time visiting this restaurant in Flushing. It is on Prince Street, on…read morethe same block as Tangram Mall. I've brought friends here because I've always enjoyed their dishes. There also aren't many noodle restaurants left in the neighborhood, so it's nice to have a spot like this. It's a great place to visit on a cold day. The restaurant itself is a decent size. It can get busy in the evenings, but for the most part, you can still find a table. The portions are quite generous, and the service is good. There's minimal interaction with the staff since you place your order through a tablet provided at the table. Be mindful if you have peanut allergies definitely let them know so they don't sprinkle peanut on certain dishes. Overall, this is a great place to get a warm noodle soups during Winter season.

Comes with all the normal toppings: lime, bean sprout, jalapeño and herbs. Also comes with packets of sriracha and hoisin. Good pho and authentic. Not the best one I've ever had but it's up there. I would eat pho from here again. Ordered delivery and the portion size was large. Did not dine in so can't comment on their service or ambiance of the restaurant. Delivery was good and foot came hot. Vietnamese coffee was VERY good. Super delicious. Some of the best I've had. I would be back.

There's a "People Love Us on Yelp" sticker at Maxi's Noodle which is basically all that needs to be…read moresaid! Maxi's Noodle is teensy; a sign warns you that tables may be shared. I ate in the enclosed patio which only had two tables, and the inside didn't seem much bigger. There is no bathroom for customers so don't bank on bio breaks here. It's efficient in that I was seated promptly, was able to place my order when I was ready, and the food came out lickety-split. Carry cash for a discount. I ordered the Wonton, Dumpling, & Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($14.75) under the "Popular Items" section of the menu since it seemed sampler-esque. The wontons and dumplings were similar since they both contained shrimp and pork but I leaned towards the dumplings since they also included mushroom, bamboo, wood ear, and chives. The duck egg noodles, beef, and broth rounded out the awesomeness. Can't wait to return with others!

Super popular spot if you're craving wonton noodles in the Flushing area. So popular now they have…read moremultiple locations throughout NYC. Walked in on a Saturday around 6pm and managed to get the last two top. Don't be surprised if you need to wait a bit on a Saturday or Sunday around lunch. At any rate, get the wonton noodle soup. Or the combo that includes dumpling and dace fish ball if you want to get wild. All the toppings are fat(!!) from the wontons to the dumplings and fish balls. It's great. But for me the real star of the show is those bouncy duck egg noodles. They have a bounce that really puts it at the top of the list for me when it comes to duck egg noodle/wonton noodles. A perfect comfort meal on a cold day. Throw in some vinegar or chili oil between bites and you're in for a treat. Also ordered the (imitation) shark fin soup. It was solid. Texture might not be for everyone, but nice thing to snack on while you wait for your food, but not necessary. Service is quick. The space as I mentioned is small and can feel a little cramped, but they offer takeout if you wanted to just bring it back home. I'd still recommend just dining in though. Overall, great spot. Also there's a decent discount if you pay with cash.

So simple and satisfying. The minute you walk through the door, you're asked "spicy or not spicy"…read more That's the only choice you have to make. Take a seat and wait for the piping hot soup to come out. Water and hot tea are self serve and they bring out radish kimchi, omelet, seaweed and rice (you can ask for more). The soup comes out boiling hot, so be careful! I love that the soup is flavorful but not greasy at all like some other gukbap spots. You can really taste that they cooked this for hours. The glass noodles are so satisfying. Note: they're closed on Sundays and it's cash only.

They only have the single tofu stew, and you just tell them whether you want spicy or not. Get your own tea or water from the machines at the front. They used to be cash only but I think they now take cards (I paid cash, but I saw a credit card machine). Bathroom in the back despite the sign saying no bathroom. There was a bit of a wait when I got there for a late-rish lunch. Would go back if I were in the neighborhood again for some reason.

The portions are generous, and they seem to give a bit more noodles than most places, which I definitely appreciate.

I've tried a few other dishes, and everything has been great--but it's honestly hard to branch out when your go-tos are this good.

We got the beef brisket curry with ho fun noodles and it tasted exactly like the HK curry noodle dishes I had growing up. The pork w salted fish hotpot rice had a lot of flavor without being overly salty, and it had crispy rice at the bottom of the pot. This was a very nostalgic meal for me.

My birthday 2026 celebration takes my festivities to Forest Hills, Queens, NYC for Greek, falafel…read moreand seafood with my neighbor who is also a friend. I was exuberant for the occasion of goodness to patronize, at long last. What gives you hope. There is an outdoor seating patio that occupies the entire sidewalk and half the street. The weather was gloomy cloudy, but not raining which enable my party of two to dine outdoors. Our table was uneven wobbling and shaking minimal the entire meal which reminisce "Lisa from Temecula" sketch from "Saturday Night Live," but not as violently aggressive shaking. Customer service is average attentive. Oddly, our appetizers arrived first and my wine did not. We had to request my wine which should be distributed first without request or reminder, thus the four stars. This restaurant was not entirely busy nor crowded for a Friday early afternoon. Nick's Bistro is a small cafe with a modern aesthetic appeal. I enjoy and prefer to be well-cultured expose to all international cuisines without judgment and an open mind for appreciation and global awareness. I am not knowledgeable with Greek cuisine, but I do know that Astoria is the locale for the go-to restaurants. I enter with a empty stomach. I exited fulfilled. Business cards and candy were available for grabs. Nick's Bistro is easily accessible via MTA NYC Transit buses Q53 SBS/ Q52 SBS and then Q54. Dramatic irony: this business name is also the name of my former love - not the same Nick, certainly not the same man. My foodie synopsis: Lamb gyro sandwich, $12.00 The meat was soft, but fresh and Tzatziki sauce was heavy. I do not consume lamb often, but once in a blue moon I would not exclude lamb to consume. The pita bread was the highlight which was fresh, soft and cooked with a good consistency without burning or harden. The gyro contain very pauacity minimal vegetables of lettuce, half cherry tomato and red onion. I always prefer red onion. I prefer regular tomato. This sandwich ate my fill to sustain hunger pangs the entire afternoon. Gyro sandwich is always my default Greek entrée of choice. Oddly, this entrée is price higher than listed on their website for $9.00. I do not believe their website is updated for price. Caesar salad, small $11.25 It was fresh and delightful filled with Parmesan shaved cheese. This portion is actually medium size. The croutons are thankfully not hard, but I never like croutons at all. I am always enamored with the lettuce. Ruffino, Chianti, 2019 red wine $12.00 This wine is one of my favorite reds, but it is difficult to find at most restaurants or cafés not widely offered. It was a joyous delight. It is exactly as is dry, very medium-bodied smooth finish Italian red wine from Tuscany, Italy, crafted from indigenous Sangiovese grape. It highlight bright cherry flavors and surely tasted. I was floating in very high spirits. Chicken rice soup, pint $6.95 Served luke warm but not piping hot with steam visibly emitted. It was also served with Oyster crackers. It was enjoyable and warm the heart. Greek Omelet, over easy egg whites $16.50 It was served with Greek feta cheese with vegetables yellow zucchini and pita chips. I highly despise Greek feta cheese and the same for Greek yogurt because both are extremely heavy, thick and too rich. I do not see any tomatoes. This entrée did appeared well prepared and well cooked but no runny yoke. My neighbor thoroughly enjoyed this entrée. Every time I think of omelet it bring flashbacks from past long-haul international flights major airlines of standard airplane food popularity for in-flight breakfast, often served with potatoes, sausage, or roasted vegetables. Nostalgia brew. Omelet? Flight attendant, I'll take the Continental with pastries, toast and fresh fruit please. Then followed by Bedtime Care Bear make me fall asleep again.
