Big pots are where people all gather around and share a huge dish that has protein and vegetables and everything. They also serve beer. My favorite is the "mao cai" section, meaning things that were braised in a nice spicy sauce. A bit pricey, but flavor is good.!

The restaurant is huge with both indoor and outdoor seating under a tent so no reservation needed. Their menu is also huge with really affordable selections up to pretty costly (assuming for large parties) dishes. The service was nice and quick and our waitress was very nice and most of them do speak some English. When we went, of course we had to order the traditional lamb skewers, but we also ordered beef skewers, stiny tofu, sweet/sour napa, and a bunch of other skewers. The volume is a lot more than expected. The skewers were amazing! The price is very worth it in the end and we had tons to take home. If you are in the area this is a good one to try for traditional street Chinese food!

Hopefully it stay as a local gem that allows the regulars who appreciate them to enjoy a reasonably priced bowl of noodle. If you like the smooth and bouncy texture of rice noodles from Gui Zhou, then come here and pick your protein(s) for an excellent bowl of soup noodle. If you prefer wheat noodles, you can request that as well. Either way, they have good quality noodles. The broth is top notch, one of the better ones around Flushing. Full of beefiness, spices, and chili oil. As for the proteins, the beef stew is super tender, though I wish the pieces were cut slightly larger. Same goes for the beef tendon and pork intestine, delicious but I prefer a slightly thicker cut. Overall, imho, this is one of the better noodle shops in Flushing for a long time now. If you like traditional flavors from a place that's still relatively not discovered, then give this vendor a shot. You won't be disappointed.

Great auto-spinning skewers and SERIOUS heat!…read more We stumbled upon this place, saw the skewers, and thought, "Why not?" It feels like Flushing is slowly being taken over by fiery Sichuan spots lately! While I miss some of the milder classic dishes, this place definitely delivers if you're looking for flavorful food. Since I'm not quite a fire-breathing foodie, I can't give a deep breakdown of all the traditional dishes my friend ordered--other than to say they were hot, hot, HAWTTT! If you love heavy spice, you will be in heaven here. The real highlight for me was the skewers. The meat cuts are much bigger than what you get from street carts, and the marinade is spot on. Plus, they use those awesome auto-spinning tabletop grills! Honestly, I'd love to have one of those at home just to eat spinning skewers while watching movies. Pro-Tips for First-Timers: Not a spice fan? Stick to the skewers! They aren't naturally as fiery, and you can easily ask for them mild or non-spicy. Language barrier: Most of the staff primarily speak Mandarin with limited English, but they are helpful enough to get you what you need. Even though the heat almost took me out, the skewers alone make it worth a return trip to try some milder options. Recommended if you want a fun, interactive meal!

I would recommend the original lamb skewers and the beef rib skewers. All the meat is cooked right at your table so everything is hot and fresh. Service: 5/5 Service was quick and not rushed. The waiters bring the raw skewers and give a recommended cooking time for each type of meat. They come around frequently to check on the grilling skewers and help loading and unloading the skewers on the grilling rack. Ambiance: 5/5 For a weekday dinner, the place was full but not packed where there was a line to wait. It's very cool how they have a conveyor belt to keep the skewers rotating on the grill so everything is cooked evenly. The ventilation is excellent. After dinner, there was no smoke or food smell in my hair or clothes.

I would recommend ordering take out as the interior was very basic with plastic table and chairs. This is not a table cloth table kind of place. I almost expected a crowd of cussing smoking Chinese construction guys to come through the door. Onto the food, it was very good. And great value. Flavorful and worth the price. The waitress (possibly owner) was very nice. Not much English but it was easy for her to understand what we wanted. So would recommend the food but more enjoyable you eat at home.

Cuisine: 5 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 2 Value: 6 Overall: 5 After decades, why do people still come here? Probably because it's cheap and quick, which is why I stepped into the shop once more last week. After ordering a bunch of stuff, I thought about it and said to myself, that was not that cheap. Everything added up and the meal was about $16 after tip. Obviously a decent price, but no longer the cheapest type of meal in Flushing any more. Leek pancake ($2.50) and steam pork & cabbage bun ($2) were pretty good, but the rest were forgettable. When I asked if their signature pan fried dumplings ($5) were fresh, the lady said right out of the pan. Not sure how accurate that was because it was warm but soggy, sitting in that steamy plastic container. The bottom crust had zero crispiness. Hot & sour soup ($3) was okay, but nothing more than average. Same for the tea egg that now cost $1.50 each. Sigh. For this type of food, somehow I feel like $16 is too much. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I feel. I have been to other similar spots where I feel like it's slightly cheaper. When it comes to this stuff, I think that matters, especially if the food is just whatever.

We've always loved the fried dumplings at Jie Jie Sheng because they're a classic, but lately we've…read morefound ourselves moving over to the vegetarian spring rolls, and WOW...they're something else. Perfectly crispy, light, and packed with flavor. Somehow they manage to stay crunchy even a couple of hours after being made fresh. The spring rolls are delicious enough to hold their own without any sauce at all. The dumplings on the other hand are good but it would be even better with a signature sauce. Unfortunately, the only thing they serve is Sriracha. If you're already a fan of their dumplings or just looking for your next snack, do yourself a favor and try the spring rolls. They might just become your new go-to.

I had a fantastic experience at Young and Rich New York, thanks to our server, Kevin!…read more Because I have strict dietary needs, I requested my meal with no Monosodium Glutamate, no seafood sauce, no soy sauce, less salt, and less oil. Before taking my order, Kevin went straight to the chef to confirm that the kitchen could accommodate my specific requests. His attention to detail was incredible throughout the meal. When we ordered the stir-fried water spinach and shredded potatoes, he remembered that the potato dish usually includes dried spicy peppers. Knowing I cannot handle spicy food, he proactively double-checked to ensure the peppers were left out. Every dish was prepared perfectly, and Kevin made sure I felt completely taken care of from start to finish!

The most efficient method of finding a delicious meal in flushing does not include reading reviews…read moreor scouring Reddit comments for recommendations. New great places are opening all the time and by simply getting off the 7 train at flushing Main Street and taking a walk around, there are innumerable intriguing restaurants for those with eyes to see. I was so satisfied with my experience at Young and Rich. A friend and I shared the 9 cold dishes, the stir fried gizzards and, on the waiters recommendation, the stir fried beef. The 9 cold dishes would probably be best shared between three people as it's quite a decent amount of food. From the photos on here, it seems the dishes rotate but our platter had cucumber salad, bamboo shoots, daikon, some type of mushy eggplant thing, lotus root, sliced tofu sheets, a version of husband and wife tripe and beef, spicy gizzards and some mushrooms. All of the dishes were delicious and satisfying and each had its own unique flavor. Some highlights were the lotus root which was crunchy and tossed with human pickled chilis, the soft noodle-like tofu sheets, and the perfectly balanced cucumber salad. This was my first time trying gizzard, and while the texture was unfamiliar I found these to be well prepared and not overly chewy. They were stirfried with pickled beans, garlic, peppers and chilis. Our dish was prepared at 50% spiciness and it was hot but tolerable. Despite being unsure about the gizzard themselves, I couldn't stop eating this dish because of its addictive sauce and seasoning. I'm glad we took the waiter's suggestion on the stir fried beef, which was incredibly tender and thinly sliced. It was paired with crunchy vegetables and fruity fresh chili. We had this dish prepared at 30% spiciness and I found it to have only a touch of heat, as long as you avoided eating the pieces of chili themselves. Both dishes were delicious and I couldn't get enough of the sauce soaked rice at the end of the meal. Although similarly spicy to Sichuan food, the flavor profile is different here. It's hot but complex with pickled elements and fruitiness throughout. It pairs great with a cold beer. I generally don't put much stock in the quality of a restaurant's service, as long as they bring me my food, but all the servers here were so sweet and friendly that it made the experience that much more special. I would love to return here for another great meal.

Nonetheless, my review here is subjective, or objective based on the reader's interpretation thereof. Eating here brings me back to my high school days. Average looks, average grades, average athleticism, below-average finances but above-average belief in myself to make something of my life. Chinese food was a delicacy, an oasis in my barren life. An escape into the promised land. This place is clean and good. Price is good. They turn on Christian music so the food quality is something I can believe in. Like a Chinese restaurant church.

1 Star I've been…read morecoming to this Chinese restaurant for a long time, and unfortunately after what happened today, I will no longer be returning. I came here with my siblings and everything was fine at first. We had just finished eating and had spent around $40 on our meal, so we were paying customers like any other family who comes in to eat. My 3-year-old brother started making a little noise after we had finished our food. He is a toddler--kids are not always going to sit completely silently or behave like adults. An employee (I'm not sure if she was the owner or a worker) came out and said, "Oh my God, you're so annoying. You're screaming too much. This is a business," and then told us "GO HOME." I found this extremely rude, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. There are ways to address a situation, especially when dealing with a family and a small child, without insulting a toddler or telling paying customers to leave. We were not being disruptive while eating, causing problems, or bothering anyone. My little brother was simply being a toddler. No 3-year-old is going to sit perfectly quiet and make absolutely no noise. I've supported this business for a long time, but after being treated this way, I unfortunately won't be coming back. Very disappointing experience and completely unnecessary.
