Lots of seating in the dining room. Sampled these dishes with a few bowls of rice: - Fly's Head: super garlicy, well balanced with the fatty pork. Had a great texture from the crisp chives. - Three Cup Chicken: Bones throughout this dish, but that's a good thing. Juicy chicken covered in umami sauce. The portion is good for 2-3 people. - Ma Po tofu: Full of szechuan and warm spices and perfectly silky tofu. Would definitely go back to try more adventurous dishes and the friend pork chops.

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!

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.

( she asked if we were allergic to peanuts, which we were not). This was delicious. The flavors was very tasty. The beef shank was very tender, and served with thin rice noodles. The broth is very flavorful. I can drink the both by itself. The peanuts gave the soup some texture. We had the cucumbers which was a very simple side dish, very fresh and crunchy. The salt and pepper calamari was very good. They crunchy and soft. They flavors are there. Just a tad spicy. ( she asked if we wanted the level of spice). The young lady was very attentive, she poured us hot tea whenever our tea was low. We can't want to try the other Taiwanese dishes. Like their fried chicken. Great shop.

I had a lovely lunch here…read more I ordered the kao fu and the lions head meat balls. Kao fu is wheat gluten similar to seitan and it comes cold, braised with mushrooms. The flavor of this dish was quite sweet, with warm spices and the richness of soy sauce. I loved the texture of the wheat gluten, it's meaty and chewy and pairs well with the accompanying shiitake mushrooms. The lion's head meatballs were extremely tender and soft, coated in a sweet and savory glaze and served with steamed bok choy. The Shanghainese flavor profile is sweeter and less oily than other Chinese food, and I found my dishes to be rich without being overly fatty or heavy. The service here is extremely friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I will likely return soon.

We had a few misses: The Eggplant and Salty Fish (2/5) the eggplant wasn't cooked long enough to achieve that desired soft texture, and the salty fish was overwhelmingly, salty. The Sweet and Sour Pork Chop (3/5) had potential, but each piece was sliced too thin and over fried, making the whole thing unnecessarily crispy instead of tender. The Fish Maw Soup (3/5) lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for. Chicken fried rice (2.5/5): tasted like what you would expect, Americanized fried rice The Highlights: The Mayo Shrimp (3.5/5) was a better dish; we appreciated the nice crispiness, and it was an interesting take to serve the mayo on the side. The Snow Peas with Garlic (4/5) was perfectly executed, fresh and garlicky, a simple but standout veggie dish. FYI: cash only

I'd read a few reviews about Anda and decided to finally give it a try. We've passed by this place…read morecountless times, but I was looking for a chill spot where my kid could hang out with a few friends for his birthday--and this café fit the bill perfectly. They serve a mix of ramen, sushi, and snacks (yes, even fried Oreos and takoyaki!), plus milk teas and other drinks. The hangout was a success, and best of all, I didn't break the bank. The food is on the affordable end, so the ramen and sushi are about what you'd expect for the price--decent and satisfying, but not gourmet. They have a "Ramen Lovers" special on Tuesdays where all ramen is 50% off, so we tried both the tonkatsu and beef ramen. The broths tasted pretty similar (LOL), just with different toppings. The noodles were interesting--they used a thin rice noodle, more like what you'd find in stir-fried dishes than in typical ramen--but again, at half off, I couldn't complain. I only paid about $15 + tax for two full-sized ramen bowls, which is a steal. On regular days, you get a free medium drink when you order ramen at the regular price--a great deal, especially for students or anyone on a budget. Their large boba drinks come in a bucket-sized cup and are huge! Taste-wise, the milk teas are pretty standard and similar to other boba spots, but that giant container makes it stand out. Overall, Anda Café is a fun, budget-friendly place for casual hangouts or group get-togethers. Just keep your expectations realistic, enjoy the deals, and you'll have a great time here.

She was the one taking orders and making the drinks while he just stood there as more orders got placed. 2. When I got home and checked the receipt, I saw I was charged a higher price instead of $7.50 each it was $8.25. If the prices changed then you need to update the menu prices. And since she saw me pick up the menu and then order she should have mentioned the prices are different if that's the case.

Ok, ok. I figured it out…read more So our local Chinese language school in Northern New Jersey would frequently order mass delivery from a restaurant in Flushing called OK Canaan. Of course, we expect the school to choose only the highest quality restaurants to order delivery from, and yes, it was quite good, considering that it was delivery that was lugged all the way from Flushing and ultimately had to be reheated in the microwave. Come this past weekend, we decided to plan a whole day trip to Flushing to visit Flushing Meadows Corona Park and eat some good Taiwanese and Chinese food. We search Yelp and we come across this place, OK Ryan. The restaurant is small and cozy, but packed a big bite. We had Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, Pork Chop lunchbox, Oyster Pancake, Pork Intestine Vermicelli, Taiwanese Sausage, and Golden Red Bean Pancake. Everything authentic and delicious. Oyster Pancake was probably the best I've had for a very long time - it was filled with oysters, not too doughy, not too saucy. Beef noodle soup had excellent depth of flavor and the meat was tender and delicious. We ordered way too much food and took a bunch of it home. Found out that the restaurant was cash or Venmo only. So I take out my phone and Venmo the bill. But wait, my Venmo app did not register OK Ryan as a new restaurant. In fact, it said I had paid this restaurant several... times.... before. Cue the freak out. Who hacked my Venmo account to buy Taiwanese food?? OK, so obviously, OK Ryan and OK Canaan are one and the same. Good for delivery, but now we know, much better in person. We'll try the real OK Canaan next time.

We came on a weekend dinner and surprisingly there was a lot of people before 5:15pm and no one really afterwards. I really appreciate all the Taiwanese decorations in their restaurants and the circular tables which I haven't experienced in a bit. In general, their menu was pretty amazing as it had all the Taiwanese hits that one could want and I seriously couldn't choose! - Braised Pork Rice Lunchbox - Absolutely loved the vegetables in this dish, it really reminded me of the the railroad lunch boxes you get in the train station. I think the braised pork was okay as there wasn't a lot of meat and it was a bit heavy on the fat. - Taiwanese Chicken Cutlet - I was a bit confused on first look of this chicken because they had some rick crackers stuck to the outside of it. I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be but at least the flavors were spot on as it was ultimately crispy on the outside with a bit of spice and juicy on the inside. Probably the best dish of the night. - Pork Intestine Vermicelli - I've never had this dish before in the states so I was interested to see how this would turn out and it was actually a lot better than I thought. The flavors were pretty on point and the cleaned out the intestine well. I probably wouldn't order the lunchbox again, and although no dish extremely WOW-ed me, their breadth of Taiwanese dishes is pretty amazing and I will be back!
