Cuisine: 7 Service: 7 Decor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I guess this updated review is long overdue. I am harsh on Shanghainese restaurants because I grew up eating the real thing and just visited Shanghai last year. However, this restaurant has become the standard by which I judge Shanghainese cuisine in NYC nowadays. Let's start with the Shanghainese style dim sum that I love. As consistent as anywhere, I believe they have my personal favorite Steamed Soup Dumplings. I'm even a fan of their large gimmicky ones (though a real thing from Yangzhou, China) with the straw, especially the crab and abalone version. Another top notch item is the Turnip Puffs, which has a fantastic filling and amazingly crispy and airy crust. Most of the other dim sum items are decent. When it comes to the cold and hot dishes, they do most of the traditional stuff well enough. Not always up to my standards, but most people I have taken there enjoy it enough. I do like their Stir Fried Rice Cake w/ Sheperd's Purse & Shredded Pork, ad well as their Duck Vermicelli Soup. Also, since they started working with Corner 28, their Cantonese food game stepped up quite a bit. Roast pork and Roast Crispy Pig are both really solid. Pan Fried Shrimp & Chive Dumplings are good too. There are a few other Shanghainese restaurants that do certain dim sum or dishes better, but I do believe Shanghai You Garden is currently the best overall Shanghainese restaurant in NYC. read more

This restaurant is pretty well known amongst the locals and for good reason too! Dishes are delicious and very reasonably priced. Though make sure you have cash on hand or can pay with venmo. Pretty sure you'll find that cash is king here in Flushing. Literally a hole in the wall restaurant. Turn left when you enter to be led into a narrow alley leading to the main dining area or head on straight upstairs for more seating during peak hours. Very foreigner/non Asian friendly as menu comes with pictures. Staff are very attentive and are always walking around. Staff can speak conversational English. Restaurant is as clean as it gets in Flushing. Their Xiao long bao is very good! Definitely a staple whenever I go. Shao Mai is good too. And omg the soup they gave you as a complementary dessert at the end is soooo good. read more

Service was great, plenty of help on the floor for quick seating and quick service. We are here in NYC for our beloved Dodgers vs the NY Mets. We took the #7 to the Flushing main St stop, wow! I read they had great Asian food here but I didn't realize I would be in Asia. We were recently in Tokyo and in Korea, it felt just like we were there again. Ok, back to the restaurant, we ordered seafood and noodles, garlic green beans and pork Shao mai, so delicious. And a secret we didn't know if not for a gentleman next to us. Below the Shao Mai there were complimentary soup dumplings!! And they were amazing. I'd come back here for the food (next time the Dodgers are here), it was very enjoyable. And you know you're in the right place when it's all locals enjoying this very busy gem. read more

We had a group of 7 so we had free Peking duck buns, one per person. The food is always good here and the price is very fair for flushing. We love their soup dumplings. I do like the bayside location more than the flushing location because flushing only has one bathroom and it's a smaller compared to bayside. read more

I'm here again in downtown Flushing, the place to go for reasonably priced asian food and reasonably priced anything. I gotta slow down eating out so often. I think I'm gaining weight. However, its somewhat diffucult because my whole family are all foodies, and my niece is a Yelper. In any case, my wife wanted to grab a few Peking Duck wraps, $2.75 each, at the outside takeout window. You can't go wrong with Peking Duck. It was delicious and very satisfying. Recommend if you need a quick bite to eat. read more

All it takes is one year for changes in the menu. Last year one could have two duck buns and get six soup dumplings on the house. This year? The bill came to $13.34 as I was charged $9.50 for the dumplings even though the bill clearly showed Free Soup Dumpling. Therein lies the mystery. The bun was served with great flair and was tasty. The soup dumplings had the requisite thin skin and juicy pork filling. Lots of the customers had ordered these or a variation of it as many are now available. A bowl of congee is also given to all. Service is efficient. A fine looking China teapot is on each table and I asked for iced water. A gender neutral restroom is at the back. As one enters Shanghai You Garden one can see line cooks making the celebrated dumplings. No visit is complete without eating even a small bite here. read more

This place is what Flushing is all about! Their duck buns are incredibly affordable and even more delicious. The meat is so juicy and tender, and when paired with the crispy, sharp green onions and the soft bun, you get an amazing bite at an extremely affordable price. The service is fast and efficient, and if you don't feel like eating in, you can just use their super convenient takeout window. Just keep in mind they are cash only, but I highly recommend this place! read more

This place is amazing! It was quite busy and we waited about 15-20 minutes to get seated for a weekend lunch, but they move quickly and the space is pretty large. First of all, every table gets a complimentary order of pork xiao long bao, which I have never seen any restaurant do before. The XLB had the perfect delicate wrapper with flavorful soup and juicy meat inside. We also tried the sheng jian bao, which are crispy pork buns. These were so good and I think I liked them even more than the XLB. The garden soup dumplings were a fun variety with different flavors. We also had the pan fried pork and chive dumplings, which were nicely crispy and very satisfying. Overall, an amazing spot and everything we ordered was delicious. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend! read more

I've been coming here since they first opened and I'm so glad their business has gotten better and better that they've expanded for more dine in seats (they got the place next door and opened up the upper floor). Pretty authentic Shanghainese cuisine, I know it's not as good as those in Shanghai ofc but hey, it's close! Deal for dine in: spend $10 or more and get either free pork soup dumplings (6pcs) or a pc of Peking duck bun per person at the table. I always opt for the soup dumplings! I usually come for breakfast/lunch so I regularly order the same (for 2 persons - to share): - salted tofu pudding - 4 pc turnip puff - 4 pc pork moon cake - shredded pork and preserved vegetable noodle soup - curry beef vermicelli soup Environment: usually busy Service: standard Please note: cash only read more

Finally able to visit this popular spot. Been hearing great stuff for many years but never dine in until now. Came with friends for an late breakfast (or is it brunch?). There is a dine-in table promotion [must spend $10] which you can get a choice of either: 1 order pork soup dumplings OR 1 piece Peking duck bun per person at the table. We chose the soup dumplings. Family style meal; we ordered: Braised Pork, Fried dough rice roll, Spicy Pork Soup Dumpling, Soy Sauce Duck, Garlic Cucumber, Roast Ribs, and Pan-fried Beef Udon Noodles. Place is super spacious and stretch all the way to the back. Service and staff was quick; staff brought over stuff as soon as it was ready as it was early with only a few other tables filled. Lots of eyes to pay attention to us since they had just opened for the day. Food was good. Spicy pork soup dumplings were not that spicy. Everything was amazing! Flavorful and tender, crispy (duck skin), or crunchy (cucumber). My favorite (also the table's favorite) was the braised pork. So tender and flavorful that it melts in your mouth- goes great with a bowl of hot steaming fresh rice. The garlic cucumber provides a great palate cleanser as it was refreshing. I'm a noodle lover but we did struggle to finish the udon as it wasn't anything special compared to the other dishes. The udon was nicely charred (wok hay) but we enjoyed the other dishes more. Good thing it came last We finished everything even though some were abit heavy for a first meal of the day. That is why you wash everything down with many cups of hot tea!!! At the end of the meal, it even came with a complimentary dessert soup at the end. That was a lovely sweet surprise. Highly recommend! I'm super happy that I was able to visit here and try the food. Although it would also been nice to try their Peking duck bun as they are known for it. Perhaps another visit. read more

This is a nice place with a well decorated interior that serves dim sum all day. Somehow, they give every table a free order of soup dumplings. We tried several dim sum items. The fried tiny buns were the best, the filling was very juicy and the texture of the bun was perfect with a soft bready shell that soaked up flavor from the filling, and a crispy exterior. The sesame balls will also delicious. They had just the right amount of greasiness and were filled with rich red bean. The wontons in peanut sauce were filled with pork and vegetables, and the sauce was balanced and flavorful. The bean curd roll had good flavor, and the pork filling is studded with pieces of bouncy shrimp. The free soup dumplings were quite good also, with a good amount of rich, porky soup in each which paired perfectly with the standard black vinegar ginger sauce. The prices are very reasonable. We really enjoyed our experience here. read more

Everything brought to the table was absolutely amazing! The pork belly was a home run, the soup dumplings was a fan favorite, the asparagus was the best it can be, and oof, that soup. This is the soup you wish you had when you're sick - it's got all the fat, flavor, tons of vegetables and tons of meat. In fact it was so fatty I had to ask for water to dilute it. Come here for a guaranteed amazing time with Chinese food - they know what they're doing and they're not afraid to show off. For the vibes - you can see the amount of work they put into having a traditional theme with flair. Even in food with the pig and pork belly on its back - hilarious! read more

This is the only restaurant that reminds me a little of home in Shanghai. I'm from LA, so whenever I'm in NYC this is a must visit restaurant. My must get items are the XLB, pan fried pork dumplings, duck vermicelli. The XLB has the perfect thickness of skin to soup and filling ratio that reminds me of the XLB in Shanghai. All the other breakfast items are childhood nostalgic items that I used to get as a kid walking to school. When you're done with your meal they give a complimentary dessert which is awesome. Service is pretty friendly and they bring out food quickly. I wouldn't expect asian restaurants to give phenomenal service anyway as I'm going for the food. read more

Came here for the peking duck and was pleasantly surprised by the Bao Zi and the Xiao Long Bao! Service was typical Chinese restaurant and ambiance was good. If you spend $10+ dining in you can get the Xiao Long Bao for free! Peking Duck - 9.5/10, around $2.75 each which is pretty fairly priced (half duck is more worth though), it was pretty good but nothing special Pan Fried Bao Zi - 10/10, super juicy and delicious! Xiao long bao - 9/10, typical xiao long bao but this was great on a rainy day! Would stop by again just because of the great deal and food! read more

Loved this place! We wanted dim sum and picked this one out thanks to great rating on Yelp and elsewhere. WARNING: if you're driving to this part of Queens, be prepared for heavy traffic and an exhaustive search for parking. I wound up getting a parking ticket (my fault I ignored a no stopping sign) so my lunch carries a $138 fee - but that's not the eatery's problem. Let's get back on track; The food was delicious. We just wanted a quick lunch and it hit the spot magnificently. The service was fast, friendly, and they even gave us extra dishes on the house. The dim sum kept coming and we all wanted to order more even though we weren't hungry! The inside is clean and pleasantly decorated. Overall it was a really great meal and we would absolutely go back. read more

Soup dumplings and more! Shanghai You Garden has been my go to stop for soup dumplings. Always so good! Cash only when I went and service is pretty fast. The place can get loud is there is a ton of people and of course a line, but worth it I say. I was happy they extended their place to have a to-go pick up side for dim sum and Peking duck buns. I got some dim sum and it was pretty good, my favorite is the beef rice roll. Definitely coming back for more. read more

Price (Cash Only) + Food Quality = Amazing!!!! They have an outdoor to-go service, or you can be seated inside. We were seated immediately on a Sunday afternoon. The service was so fast!!! Comfortable and cozy environment. They have a few dine-in promotions when you spend $10 or more which were delicious (pork soup dumplings or pecking duck bun) The portions are HUUUGEEE! Truly had so much to go. My fiance doesn't eat pork and he still had many options to choose from. I will definitely be back and this time with more people to enjoy more food. read more

Steamed pork buns: slightly sweet dough, lots of filling, meat is not gristly, no artificial dye. Pork soup dumpling: has anise flavor, dough not too thick Lotus wrapped rice with chicken: contains pork sausage which I normally don't like but this version was ok. Chicken was sweet, overall fragrant and nice Shrimp dumplings: taste fresh, large shrimp Salty tofu pudding: good with lots of dried things on top like shrimp and pork floss Sweet tofu: has a sugar syrup but could use ginger. This was onLy ok Peking Duck: nice you can get a single taco. Good not great. Skin could be crispier, meat was fine, sauce overpowered suck taste Bonus dessert was a rice ball soup with wine flavor Bathroom grade: C+ There are 2 women's bathrooms and the one farthest from the entry door is a little better Basically clean and not smelly. The huge garbage can is right in front of the toilet, so a woman will necessarily have her face in the trash while using this room. read more

The taste of the food was not the best I've had but it was definitely acceptable and the prices can't be beat. Loved: Shanghai pan fried udon noodles- My favorite dish out of all the ones that we ordered! Not too salty and surprisingly came with a few pieces of meat. Fermented glutinous rice dumplings- They gave this to us for free for dessert after our meal and it was so good! Not too sweet and really enjoyed the chewy consistency of the rice dumplings Ok: Pan fried pork buns Peking duck buns- Kind of skimpy on the meat so I wasn't able to fully taste it even after finishing the bun Soup dumplings- Free if you order more than $10 worth of food. Taste was solid and the skin was reasonably thin. You can see the workers wrapping these dumplings at the front of the restaurant! Pass: Scallion pancake with beef- Too much dough and the beef was dry and flavorless Dining environment was ok. Service was excellent and very attentive. Note: The free Peking duck dine-in promotion only applies to parties of more than 7 people. So if you have less than 7 people in your party you're limited to the free order of soup dumplings only. read more

Brought my boss to this restaurant because he loves soup dumplings and this place was the closest to the office. After maneuvering through the chaos, we finally found the restaurant. Don't expect high quality service. Go in, sit down, order and be prepared to eat and go. it didn't disappoint as the food came out and fast. Staff speaks mostly Mandarin but can understand Cantonese as that's how I ordered and they know English too. Honestly, it all works as there are photos and the language is very similar so don't feel intimidated. Ordered a variety of dishes and each were incredible. Jellyfish with turnip. Beef rice roll - pretty good. Turnip cake - could be crispier and fried for just a tad longer. Pan fried noodle with pork - it's good but is doused with sauce on the bottom which can be a bit much. Soup dumplings - such a winner. You can't go wrong with this classic. Filled with meat, delicious soup and so fresh. It is a cash only joint but the price is right so it can be an affordable meal if you order the right dishes. read more

We stopped by Shanghai You Garden when we were exploring Flushing. We were seated very quickly, and our server was kind enough to let us wait for my friend to arrive before we ordered our food. Amongst the 6 of us, we ordered a plate of pan-fried XLB, half a Peking duck (comes with buns), half a Shanghai chicken, sauteed pea shoots, egg tofu with a salted egg yolk sauce, and Shanghai fried rice. Our waiter also gave us complimentary XLB with our meal, as well as a complimentary dessert afterwards. I personally thought everything tasted good! My dad, who immigrated from China, mentioned that the pictures looked better than how the food tasted. :') Regardless, I did think Shanghai You Garden was worth the visit. The service we received at our table was also very memorable. read more

Really, really amazing Chinese food that's top notch quality for an astonishing price. Like a free order of soup dumplings with every meal, what?! So generous. Peking duck ($30 for half) - really delicious- you really can't find peking duck and stacks of fluffy buns at this price anywhere else. The dumplings were also amazing - I tried the veggie and soup dumplings. The skin is freshly made and chewy and the dumplings are juicy, large, and flavorful. The Vegetable Dumplings - DO NOT miss these, what a sleeper! So yummy. You can order also things off the breakfast menu also - I loved the green tea mochi with salty egg yolk floss inside. They even give you a sweet mochi ball dessert at the end. The rest of the table ordered a bunch of other dishes I didn't try, but they looked good. The inside is very casual and authentic. Service is swift and minimal, as it should be at a *real* Chinese spot. If you are looking for a solid soup dumpling / chinese food spot, go here! read more

Get FREE soup dumplings when you spend over $10 -- yep, basically FREE!! Shanghai You Garden has been my family's go-to spot in Flushing for years. If you're craving authentic Shanghainese food with affordable prices and fast service, this is the place to be. If you're a first timer, I highly recommend their xiao long bao, sheng jian bao, and shanghai pork mooncakes. On our latest visit, we were genuinely impressed. The food and dining atmosphere felt even better than before. ＊Crab Meat Soup Filled Bun $6.95 ＊Abalone and Crab Meat Soup Filled Bun $8.95 Basically, it's a giant version of a regular soup dumpling. Guan tang bao (灌湯包) is hard to find because the making process is much more intricate. Be sure to use the straws they provide to sip the broth before digging in. ＊Pan Fried Pork Bun $9.50 ** A lovely crispy, golden bottom. My aunt thought it was a bit too burnt, but I loved the satisfying crunch. The bao was fluffy and packed with juicy pork filling. Definitely a must-try! ＊Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumpling $10.95 * ＊Pork Soup Dumpling (free) * Possibly the juiciest xiao long bao I've ever had! I'm amazed at how they pack so much broth inside without the wrapper feeling too thick. ＊Pork Mooncake $3/pc ** Last Mid-Autumn Festival, I made a special trip to Flushing just to get their mooncakes. Unlike Cantonese mooncakes filled with lotus paste and egg yolk, Shanghainese mooncakes have a flaky pastry and savory filling.  ＊Red Bean Rice Cake (條頭糕) $1.95/pc ＊Purple Sweet Potato Mochi w. Salted Egg Lava (紫薯流沙團) $4/pc We tried two of their mochi desserts, which were served warm and wrapped in plastic to keep them from drying out. Both were enjoyable, especially if you're into snacks that aren't too sweet. ＊Fermented Glutinous Rice Dumpling $7.95 Every time, we're treated to their 酒釀圓子. While they taste just okay, I can't say no to freebies. ＊Fried Bean Gluten (上海烤麩) $10.95 ** ＊Sweet and Sour Rib (糖醋排骨) $17.95 ** ＊Spiced Beef Shank $13.95 ＊Salted Soy Bean Milk $4.50 read more

Fantastic lunch with a friend today! We were looking for a place near the Glow Community Center and happened upon You Garden. What a great spot! I ordered the quarter duck, and he ordered the roast pork & some rice. My friend lived in Hong Kong for a few years and he said this took him back. It was truly delicious. We shared everything. They brought tea, and then brought us amazing soup dumplings on the house, and then a dessert! Prices were beyond reasonable, the rest room was very clean, and we had a lovely time. I would definitely return. It's cash only, so come prepared. read more

Generous portions, reasonably priced, and freebies on ordering certain items. Interior was spacious and clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Soup dumplings were huge and handmade. Soup flavorful and meat was fresh within the purse of the dumpling. The shrimp dumpling was fresh and so huge that every bite you just savored the taste. The turnip cakes came out hot and textured with each bite of turnip. Noodles were chewy with lotsa gravy and flavor. Scallion pancakes were deep fried but you could taste each layer. The comped dessert with the mochi and warm soup a nice finish to a huge meal. Price was so reasonable. Always better to pay in cash! read more

Finally came back to dine here and again for a food crawl stop ordering some of their dumplings and vegetarian options. Honestly I'm giving this place five stars for a variety of reasons: solid flavors all around, all good, great or excellent, approachability for non-Chinese poeple (big menu, lots of explanations, online menu), great addition to food crawl with their peking duck menu, large indoor seating, super clean and honestly a solid dinner option if you need to post up somewhere and just eat a ton of food and not feel like you're missing out. They have a lot of great options, both creative and authentic and I wish I could eat more every time I come here. The vegetable dumplings were a sleeper hit. they also have dim sum items if you're craving that, i got beef balls that I usually only see at dim sum. Shanghainese stir fried udon and soup dumplings alre also a must, and honestly really good and better than nan xiang xlb imo. read more

Delicious, authentic Shanghainese food in Flushing, NY!! That meatball + fish really brought back memories of growing up in Shanghai! Cash/zelle/venmo only 1) Shanghai Special Chicken上海三黄鸡 5/5: Classic chicken appetizer, no complaints 2) Soup Dumplings 小笼包 (free) 3/5: So nice that we got it for free! Very soft inside but a bit bland -- it is free so still good haha 3) Chive Pancake w. Shrimp 鲜虾韭菜饼 3/5: Nothing out of the ordinary. Can skip and try others 4) Braised Meatballs 红烧蟹粉狮子头 5/5: Honestly was surprised by the authenticity and flavor. It instantly brought me back to growing up in Shanghai and eating these in school but in a good way. Would definitely recommend getting this dish 5) Deep Fried Yellow Croaker Fish 苔条小黄鱼 5/5: Didn't look like it was a lot of portions but it actually was for sure enough. Was full after finishing the dish. The outside soft crispness (yes sounds like an oxymoron but it's true) was delightful, and the fish inside was so tender and spot on! Super authentic 6) Fermented Glutinous Balls 酒酿圆子 (free) 4/5：Free! I'm not used to this dish with egg in it personally so took away a star but my bf really liked it. It was a nice touch once again that it came free at the end of the meal! My bf and I came on a Saturday around 6:30 pm. Each table was filled but there was constant turnover so I'm guessing that even if there was a wait, it wouldn't be too bad. Super excited to come again! read more

Have been here many times to grab a peking duck bun from the window. A bit sad how the price of that has kept going up over the years but IN THIS ECONOMY sigh i guess that's expected. Flavor wise though, it always hits the spot as a quick bite. (especially if doing a flushing food crawl) However, this was my first time going to the INSIDE of the restaurant. didn't even know they had sit down available after all these years. They've had a great deal where you can get a free 6 piece pork soup dumpling or free duck buns if you spend $10 or more dining in and it's so worth it. The soup dumplings weren't mild blowing / life changing but they were still flavorful, fatty, delicious and that deal made it even tastier. They also gave us a free mochie/eggdrop/congee style dessert which was unexpectedly delicious too. Also, service was very attentive and made you feel super welcome unlike some other places where you better know how to speak mandarin/cantonese. Overall, def recommend for a quick duck bun from the window or for a solid meal inside (with free soup dumplings)! read more

Great spot for Shanghainese food. They have dine-in promotions including a free order of pork soup dumplings when spending $10+. Came in for dinner and tried several things; the restaurant was bustling but our food was served promptly. -Soup dumplings: were flavorful and had plentiful soup inside. We also tried the soup dumpling with crab meat & pork (in addition to the promotional regular pork soup dumplings), though I didn't really taste a difference with the filling so I think getting the regular pork filling is enough. -Pork moon cakes: savory pork filling with a flaky exterior, delicious! -Pan fried pork buns: just alright, though I preferred the soup dumplings over them. -Shrimp dumplings: stellar and had a generous amount of tender shrimp chunks inside -Braised fish: a cold dish appetizer; slightly sweet and very flavorful. Would probably avoid if you're not used to eating around fish bones -Grandma style braised pork: sweet, tender, likely a crowd-pleaser They also gave us a complimentary dessert porridge that was sweet with glutinous rice balls which was delicious. Overall, a great experience! Staff are friendly and they turn tables over quickly. Reasonably priced and they accept cash/venmo/zelle. read more

The value at this place is crazy! The food here is also solid - nothing mind blowing, but the good food + value are what earn its high praise. If you order $10+ worth of food, you can get a free order or XLB! $10 is so easy to hit, and there's lots of goodies to try. My table of 2 got their duck sandwiches, beef scallion pancake, shrimp cheong fun, and the free order of XLB. This was plenty of food for us, we even had a little leftover, all for about $22 pre tip! They also gave a complimentary dessert soup at the end of our meal - it was good! Chinese places used to do this all the time, but I hadn't been served complimentary dessert soup in ages until then. Was a nice gesture~ The restaurant is inside, but you can also order to-go at the window counter that faces the street. read more

From the outside you wouldn't have known there was a restaurant upstairs that you could sit down in and enjoy dim sum, as the outside mostly shows off the duck they're selling. The seating space isn't huge but it's quiet and is very casual. The soup dumplings are their main specialty but they offer ha gao and siu mai as well. All were excellent and very affordable. I also tried their crabmeat and abalone dumpling, which arrived as a single, very large soup bowl sized dumpling filled with soup. It came with its own straw to drink the soup out of. While it was fun to try, it was a bit too dough-heavy and the soup was a bit too thick for my taste. Despite this, the restaurant was good overall and the service was quick. read more

Very fast, efficient, and delicious Shanghai food spot. The menu is very extensive and it had a great variety of apps, dimsum, entrees, and drinks to choose from. Also, it's so nice that they have pictures of each item so you know what it looks like. We got pan fried buns, rice cake, soup dumplings, and roast pork. If you order over $10, you also get a free order of soup dumplings which is really nice. After we placed the order, the food came out almost immediately. We were blown away at how quickly the food arrives. There were two of us and we were stuffed by the end of the meal. The restaurant also offered us a free dessert (a sweet soup with egg and small mochi pieces). Everything was great from the service, the food, and the efficiency. The only caveat is that they don't accept credit cards so you either have to do cash or Venmo. read more
