Had a nice and filling lunch here! We came as a party of two without a reservation and were seated immediately. The people working here were very nice. There's also a great promotion where you spend at least $10 and get free soup dumplings (comes with six pieces). There's two bathrooms which are clean and large. There's also a good amount of seating as well. We ordered: - Turnip Cake (5/5) - Shrimp Rice Roll (5/5) - Seafood, Chicken, Pork Rice Cakes (4/5) - Beef Pancake (3/5) The soup dumplings were not bad but not the best I've had. The total came to $43 including tip which wasn't bad at all considering how much food we got. read more

A local favorite for when you want Peking Duck, soup dumplings, noodles and pork belly. I literally just told you everything I ordered this visit. And more: cold dish - garlic cucumbers to start. Classic soup dumplings (pork filling). I usually do not order the crab meat or other varieties as those seem gimmicky. The restaurant gives you a free order of pork dumplings with dine-in purchase of $20+. This visit I did try a new noodle dish - egg noodles with crab roe. It was interesting indeed. While I've had better crab roe toppings (this one was a bit greasy//oily for me) I can see why they added it to the menu. It's been a trend. The Peking Duck and crispy skin pork are still my go to dishes when coming here. It's just not easy to make at home so I'm happy to buy it. Totally classic dishes. We also ordered the beef pancakes which is also a great sharing plate. This spot is a keeper. (I usually come by to grab take out as they have the fast casual rice plates and bbq meats right at the entrance). read more

We dined here tonight and couldn't help but wonder why we hadn't come back sooner since our last visit. The entire staff was professional and courteous, but the manager, Leo, truly stood out. He has always been warm and welcoming. Over the years, we've even had the chance to chat in our dialect, Shanghainese, on several occasions. He consistently goes out of his way to make sure guests feel well taken care of. Tonight, my husband ordered the General Tso's chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I couldn't resist ordering a little too much for myself-- fried bean gluten, mixed vegetables, pan fried udon noodles, and brine squid. As always, they sent out complimentary steamed pork soup dumplings and, to finish, two sweet fermented glutinous rice soups for dessert. I even had leftovers--udon noodles and fried bean gluten--for lunch tomorrow. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and carried a deep sense of nostalgia--the flavors truly brought me back to where I grew up in Shanghai. Needless to say, we left very happy and will definitely be back again soon. read more

Overall, the dishes we ordered were very good. We ordered the sea bass specialty, pan fried noodle with shredded chicken, soup dumplings, scallion pancake with beef, sticky rice sui mai style, sui mai, crab filled pan fried dumplings, mochi balls filled with salted egg, roast pork and pea shoots. Service was fast. And I loved the free duck baos and dessert soup! read more

Best Shanghainese spot in east Queens! Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch with the family. Gets crowded 12:00pm onwards so come here early if you can! Bayside is the only location for their roast meats so would recommend getting their roast duck or crispy pork when you're here. If you're dining in ($10 or more), you can choose between a free order of soup dumplings or 1 peking duck bun per perskn! Overall, the food quality here is always consistent and delicious. Service is fast and efficient. read more

All points considered, still solid spot to frequent for Shanghai cuisine cravings They have regular menu, they have takeout menu, bbq/prepared meats menu, and dim sum menu A lot of variety, there's likely something for everyone. When I went this time they didnt have my favorite rice rolls or Peking duck promo. Understandably so since Chinese new years is around the corner. I still had majority of what I wanted to try and all were spot on. Very good food Service was busy, but speedy. Food was plated in front of you almost the moment you ordered it. Very quick service and packed when I went in the afternoon. The peak hours on the weekends Interior has decent amount of seating with enough spacing between tables. There's like a privacy screen between tables too which was nice Overall great spot, worth the trip read more

Came here to bayside location for some Soup dumplings. We decided to be adventurous this time and order new items. We ordered spicy beef and tripe, crab noodles and crab pan fried buns. This all came with an order of free soup dumplings. The spicy beef and tripe was served as a cold appetizer. We would have enjoy it more if it was served hot. We also ordered the crab roe noodles, this was interesting to try. It was very tasty for the first bites. As for the crab pan fried buns (new menu item), we got this because we love pan fried buns especially the one in new rold mall food court. This was not as good as that but decent for Shanghai You Garden. Overall, we kind of wished we got our usual order but still had a fun time here as always. They accept venmo and zelle in case you forget cash like I did haha read more

I became obsessed with Roast + Crispy Pork over Rice in Q4 2025. I decided to visit this place which I've gone past for over 10 years. The food was a bit salty, but it still hit the spot and was a GREAT value. I ordered and it was practically ready. Will definitely becoming again to hit that craving read more

I got a number of items on my visit to Shanghai You Garden! I had their scallion pancake, turnip cake, seafood udon, shrimp dumpling, shrimp rice rolls, and potstickers. I think my favorites were the rice rolls, turnip cake, and the shrimp dumpling. I like that they also give a number of free things! I got their soup dumplings and a dessert. I would describe the dessert as a sweet egg drop soup with tangyuan. read more

My son was at this restaurant with his babysitter when he became very upset and cried loudly. I understand that this disrupted other diners, and his babysitter was trying to calm him. According to her, the waiter asked her to take him outside and take their food to go--even though it was raining. When I arrived to pick them up, I saw my son and his babysitter squatting on the ground outside in the rain. That was upsetting to see. If there was a quieter indoor spot available, I wish the staff had offered it or given her a moment to settle him while the food was packed. I respect that other guests wanted to enjoy their meals. I also expect a restaurant to treat a caregiver and a distressed child with basic kindness. I was deeply disappointed by how this was handled, and I would not recommend this restaurant to families with young children. read more

Definitely a place to visit when in bayside and if you are craving Chinese food. They have a lot of seats and kinda have a dim sum vibe when you walk in. We ordered a huge spread of food and as always, the food here is great. I personally just did not enjoy the spare ribs and the duck slices seemed a lot thinner than usual. Other than that, the noodles were great and came with a side of peanut sauce, one of my favorites. The wontons were nice and juicy as well as had a nice kick. And my absolute favorite, the grandma braised pork. That is basically why I always go to Shanghai you garden. I think their braised pork is one of the best I've had and the quail eggs are nice and tender and have a very nice pop to them. The service is good. They will go over as soon as they can when you wave them over. read more

Had a Father's Day lunch with my family. We've been here several times before. Today, the restaurant was comfortably busy, ambiance is casual, service is fast and friendly. Soft modern chinese music played in the background . First, there is a dine-in promotion - spend at least $10 and receive complimentary 6 more buns, 6 soup dumplings, or 1 peking duck bun per person. We also ordered 1/2 Roast Duck (loved it), Shanghai Chicken Special (slightly bland but ok), Salted Sliced Fish in Rice Wine (delicious), Beef and Broccoli (the beef was tough but my daughter is addicted to this dish), and Spring Rolls. As a finale, we were surprised by (not sure of the exact name) Sweet Rice Wine Soup on the house. Note that this is cash only dining establishment. Total cost for 4 people including tip was a reasonable $100. We all enjoyed our meal, took home some doggie bags, and definitely will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

Most of the items at this place are poorly done, the majority of items here are either way too tough or too oily, with that said this place is a solid option for one thing and one thing only, their soup dumplings. Came here several times to order their soup dumplings, I love the fact that they give a complementary order of soup dumplings with orders over a certain amount, and a complimentary dessert soup. For 10 dollars you can get two orders of soup dumplings and a complimentary dessert, which really is a steal with how expensive everything is now a days read more

Bbq pork, steamed dumplings, soy sauce chicken and peking duck sandwiches were very tasty!! This place requires a wait- especially on weekends! You have to take a # and they will hand you a buzzer. Meanwhile, majority of the dishes are solid. This is one of the most IG/tiktok mentioned places for NYC cheap eats. Decor doesnt seem that way but our dinner for 4 ppl was $57! I have not tipped just $10 in a looong time for a dinner in a while! So because of that, I'd give more gratuities since service was great- wait staff were attentive. Plus they gave free things- sounded complicated like if you ordered $10 worth of food- which is a bit unreal to NOT order over $10 for dinner, esp in this economy. Not sure what's up with that but so nice they provide cool stuff like this for customers! The rest of the reviews are all over IG and tiktok - they summarize it all a lot better with visuals . read more

AFFORDABLE EATS!!! All of this food for ONLY $24.99 + tips?! We didn't finish it! If you spend $10+ and have a group of 7+, each person gets a free Peking duck sandwich, but if you're less than 7 people, you get an order of pork Xiao long bao that comes in 6 pieces. The food was filled and the service was great! They came and checked on us every so often and inquired if we needed anything. This place is also accessibility is friendly. It's connected to the Peking Duck Stall. Also loved the decorations and music choices. I found some new songs to add to my playlist. 10/10 would recommend read more

Well, seems to be an annual visit around my birthday since we discovered the Flushing location back in 2017 attending Lady Gagaga's Citi Field concert. I was very surprised how busy this place was, we had to wait for a table, not very long, but In any case we ordered: Shanghai Special Chicken (cold), Sautéed Crystal Shrimp, Shanghai Sautéed Pork Fried Rice with Vegetables, Soup Dumpling with Pork (2X), Fermented Glutinous Rice (dessert), Shanghai Pan Fried Udon Noodle, Nest Style Cashew Chicken and Steamed Roast Pork Bun Once the orders were placed, within a few minutes the first items started to arrive - special chicken, soup dumplings... all delicious & some leftovers to take home. Love this place even though it's 45 - 60 minute drive. It will not break the family bank. read more

A classic for sure. I just wish they didn't get all nitpicky over my bird (which was in a carrier so it couldn't get out). It kind of ruined my dinner because I had to worry about if my bird was freezing in my car. Also the seating is pretty tight. Also it's cash or Zelle only. However the food was really legit good. There are some dishes you can't find in other places. The malantou was my favorite app. The jellyfish with turnips had interesting consistency and was not bland. The roast beef app was good but did not stand out. The soup dumplings were delicious too, the pork was complimentary and Classic delicious and the crab was deliciously savory. I also really enjoyed the Peking duck and ham hock. The duck was cooked nicely crispy and ham hock had a nice balance of fat and meat. Did not really like the lions head, was more dry than tender. Also they were out of most greens except for bok Choy, which was cooked perfectly. The pickled cabbage fish soup was standard, not my favorite. But the bowl it was served in was cool - a fish. Also appreciated they got us some free dessert - sweet dumpling soup. Overall will come back and try other things! read more

Shanghai You Garden has been a staple on Bayside's Bell Boulevard for years, but now even more so after they partnered with Corner 28 for their barbeque/roasted meats. I've dined here in numerous occasions with several entrees being a hit or miss. The most consistent and popular item is their famous soup dumplings, which one round comes free with every meal (over $10). My typical meal here consist of 2 rounds of soup dumplings, Peking duck, and some small appetizers. I've found that their entrees are quite oily and doesn't hit the spot. On my last trip, we were able to order the soy sauce chicken, which wasn't on the menu, but from the Corner 28 stall in front. However, I believe their meat over rice platters are take-out only. My last take-out meal was disappointing and underwhelming as there was way too much rice and not enough meat. Overall, I highly recommend Shanghai You Garden for their soup dumplings and hope Corner 28 sticks around. read more

Shanghai You Garden - Soy sauce chicken - Shanghainese Near Me - Bayside, New York

Food.... BUSSIN! They have a window so you can see they're meats slow roasting and as we were walking by looking at them, a woman walks out of the restaurant praising how good the food was for the price, while crumbs flew out of her mouth... so clearly the food must be good (the give you free mints and cookies as you walk out). The sweet soup was a surprise that I didn't know I needed and I would gladly order again! It reminded me of sweet cream of wheat, although it looked NOTHING like that. Definitely use the sauces on the side to enhance the flavor of the noodles. The grandma Style braised pork reminded me of the rib tips I used to order from the Chinese store when I was younger and I'd eat those everyday! Service was pretty good. Very attentive and everyone was pleasant. Ambiance had a nice hole in the wall vibe. read more

Very disappointing experience. I ordered two orders of Peking duck. I watched the staff reheat day-old Peking duck in a microwave before serving it. It was dry, tough, and almost impossible to chew. I immediately asked for a refund because the food was clearly not fresh, but the restaurant refused. The server told me that this is simply how they serve their Peking duck. The soy milk also tasted stale and did not seem fresh. After I got home, I tried the duck again, but it was so tough that I couldn't chew it, so I had to throw it away. Very poor food quality and disappointing customer service. I won't be coming back. read more

Great Peking Duck. Service is good. Staff is a bit ballsy "telling" us that tip has to be the 20% as suggested on bill. We have no problem being thankful more than 20%, but you get what is deserved and should be humbled. read more

I came here for dim sum with my family and the food was delicious, the price is cheap, but the service was a little lacking. Food: We got free steamed pork buns as a dine-in promotion. I recommend the scallion pancakes ($8.95), which were so crispy that we ended up ordering another portion. They also have peking duck duns for $2.50 a piece. The cucumber garlic ($7.95) needed a slight more acidity, but was balanced well between sweet and salty. They also provide a spicy sauce on request. Service: We were a party of 5 and they only provided us with one small teapot. We had to ask multiple times for more tea. It took a while because our server did not really check up on us. There was only one other party in the establishment so it was not busy. When we did put in a request for more tea, it still took him some time to bring it out. I feel like he should have given us at least TWO teapots so we would not have to keep trying to flag him down. Ambiance: They do not have dim sum carts at this location. The menu has pictures which is nice to have a visual aid in choosing what to order. We were also seated at a round table with a glass lazy susan in the middle so all the menu items were accessible to everyone. There is no private parking, only street parking as well. read more

Shanghai You Garden - Whole Peking Duck - Shanghainese Near Me - Bayside, New York

One of the best bites I've had this year - this place is a running machine, an absolute institution, with such efficiency! We waited about 10 minutes - amidst the bustling take out/pick up orders and seeing ducks and roast pork sliced in the front - but were promptly seated. Upon 5 minutes of ordering, we got our food, which came one by one so quickly - it's a good thing we were hungry! We ordered 8 dishes, of which 1 was complimentary - if you spend more than $10, you get a free serving of soup dumplings which are absolutely delicious! While I enjoyed absolutely everything (and can't wait to explore more on the menu), my personal favorites were: 1) Wontons in chili oil and peanut sauce - the flavor is out of this world with the slight heat but nuttiness 2) Peking duck buns - we got one piece each; the bun itself was so soft and the duck was so flavorful and juicy 3) Pan fried pork buns - crispy on the bottom while still retaining the juiciness of the inside 4) Pan fried seafood noodles - so much flavor from the seafood and vegetables; the thick sauce complemented well with the crispy noodles read more

Craving soup dumplings? Check out Shanghai You Garden! We started with the spicy beef tendon and flaky turnip puff -- so good! Even though it was packed, the wait was quick. Pro tip: spend $10+ and choose between a basket of soup dumplings or a Peking Duck Bun per person. That fluffy bun with crispy duck? Chef's kiss. The crab meat soup dumplings were amazing too, and they even serve a complimentary sweet soup for dessert! Super affordable, but remember -- cash only! read more

Food was nicely done. Hot and fresh. Had 1/2 roast duck, crispy and meaty. Braised pig shank, tasty gravy and melt off bone tender. Shrimp roll, tried, different than expected. Not too deep fried,but ok. Of course, complimentary soup dumplings, good as always. Service attentive. Ambiance is better than average. Nice backdrops. Nice Saturday night, weekend dinner. Will do again soon. read more

I just finished having dinner at Shanghai You Garden in Bayside. The experience from start to finish was top notch! The staff here really are very polite and their timing is impeccable. They seemed to have a keen eye for when you're finalllly ready to order (I sometimes take forever) or when you need assistance with something. For dinner we ordered the scallion pancakes, turnip cake, pan fried noodles with shredded chicken and pork buns. The portions were huge and every single dish was a winner. While I could have easily forced myself to finish with no regrets, I took about 1/3rd home for leftovers. I'm no psychic but I'd wager that they get devoured before bedtime. Pro tip: Be sure to dine in and spend $10 min (super easy) to score a free round of soup dumplings! read more

The food here is just ok. Soup dumplings were warm not hot and the skin is too thick. The pan fried noodles were way too wet and the noodles got soggy quick. The rice cakes stir fry had very little meat for $13. The tripe in chili oil wasn't very spicy and numbing. The half duck was very fat and salty but not much meat. Food was overall pretty greasy. You either get free soup dumplings or peiking duck but they didn't ask us and just put down soup dumplings at our table. The service was what really put me over the edge. Old asian man server came over 4 times to ask us to pay. We told him we weren't ready yet but he insisted we pay immediately. This was at 8PM and the restaurant closes at 10PM. Restaurant had many empty tables and we weren't a large party. Not sure why he was insisting we pay before we finished our food and even circled the tip amount we have to pay. I don't think he deserved 18% tip at all with the attitude. We waited over 15 mins for someone to finally refill our water. This place is CASH ONLY or zelle / venmo (which isn't a business account by the way) but they tell you to pay tax. Overall the food isn't great and the service sucks even more so I definitely would not come back. read more

With so many different restaurants that offer soup dumplings, it's sometimes hard to choose. However, this place is always a solid choice with a pretty extensive menu. This Shanghai You Garden is located in the busy area of Bayside on Bell Blvd. Parking is primarily through meter parking. I've been to the Flushing location, and the Bayside location and going to either of them is the same. When you dine in, you have the choice to get a Peking duck bun or free soup dumplings if you spend a certain amount. Inside, there seems to be an ample amount of space and seatings, and it doesn't feel claustrophobic in there. Whenever I go, my usual order is the Pork Soup Dumplings and the Pan Fried Noodle with Beef. The soup dumplings always come out piping hot, and I feel like the skin is not too thick and not too thin. There is plenty amount of soup inside the dumplings as well. Be careful when you pick up the dumpling as the skin can rip, and you can spill all of the soup inside. The Pan Fried Noodle is always a must for me. I love how the noodle is so crispy when it comes out, and it soaks up all the sauce that gets placed on the top. I pair this with the chili crisps that they have on the table. The Wonton in Chili Oil with Peanut Butter was pretty standard, and the Sweet Tofu Pudding was light in flavor and soft. At the end of your meal, they will give you Fermented Glutinous Rice Dumpling, which I think is a great way to end your meal. It was super light and sweet. One thing to note: The last time I went, I ordered the Pan Fried Pork Buns, which unfortunately came out raw. We let the staff know, and they immediately took it away. As it was close to closing time, they did not offer to remake it or anything and just took it off the bill. I would like to try it next time to see how it tastes. read more

I have been to this restaurant many times, and it consistently delivers excellent food. During my recent visit with a group of six, we ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was delicious.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a consistently great dining experience! Service was quick and good! read more

Been here several times before . Today's dishes were too salty . Service was good though.

I have been wanting to visit Shanghai You Garden for quite some time and it did not disappoint. Please note they are CASH only; I didn't realize this and was glad I happened to have cash on me. We arrived on a Sunday around 2:30 and were seated right away and the place was bustling. Seating had an initmate feeling to it even with other people around. All the staff was do friendly and very on top of everything. When you dine in and spend at least $10, you get either a steamed duck bub per person or and order of pork soup dumplings. We opt'd for the buns and they were delicious. You are also served a pot of hot tea which was great. We ordered a bunch of items; the scallion pancake with beef was crispy and delicious. The wontons with spicy oil were good, but not as spicy as I expected; they also had a peanut flavor which was tasty. The Pork Moon Cake was excellent, flavorful ground pork encased in a light almost sweet flaky dough. The Garden Special Soup Dumpling came with 2 each of 3 varieties of pork soup dumplings and they were all delicious. The 2 things that weren't my favorite were the Shanghai Shao Mai, the flavor was just ok and they seemed a bit gummy. The Yangszou Fried rice was good, but a bit on the bland side. All in all we had a great meal at Shaghai You Garden and I can't wait to visit again. read more

Shanghai You Garden has 2 locations - 1 in Flushing and 1 in Bayside, NY. The Bayside location opened in 2018. I've been to both locations a few times during the past years. Unfortunately, you can start seeing the wear and tear at the Bayside location. We were seated at one of the booths and the seats were deeply creased and starting to peel. Fortunately, the food and service quality have not changed throughout the years though. Everything is still on point! The soup dumplings are always a must get! There are so many different flavors now. My go to is the Soup Dumpling w. Crab Meat & Pork that comes in 6. The juice from the crab meat and pork is very tasty. We also got the pan fried noodle w Shredded Chicken. This was too saucy for me and didn't enjoy it too much. I think I would prefer sticking with the udon noodle or rice cake. The dine-in only promotion still exists where you can choose one 1 order of Pork Soup Dumpling or Peking Duck Bun (1 piece per person at the table) when you spend $10 or more. We chose the pork soup dumplings since it was more cost effective. My husband was craving the Peking Duck Bun so we ordered 1 of those. After the meal, they brought over two bowls of complimentary traditional Shanghainese dessert (fermented wine rice ball). Shanghai You Garden is cash only so be prepared to bring cash or you can run to Citibank on Bell Blvd or use the ATM in 7-11 across the street. read more

We came in around 10am on a Sunday and it was easy to get a table. The decor inside was a lot nicer than I had expected. They had a great promotion going on where you can get a free XLB or Peking duck bun (1 bun per person). I'm honestly not sure how the promotion gets triggered. We tried the following XLBs: -pork&shrimp - my favorite! It had a good amount of shrimp in there -pork&mushroom - not my favorite, crazy mushroom flavor though -pork&crab - second favorite out of the three, I'm usually not crazy about crab XLBs though Overall the soup dumplings were way bigger than I expected. The noodles were decent as well. They also give you fermented rice soup as a desert, which was delicious. Overall, would come again to try out more items! read more
