Visiting the area again and decided to grab a quick lunch and a roast duck for dinner. Called ahead for a Beef Chow Fun and a Combination of Beef, Squid, and Pork Congee 艇仔粥。 Got to the counter and ordered a Roast Duck and one of their fried dough 牛脷酥。Took a peek at the restaurant and seemed like it had been refreshed. Service was really fast and efficient. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Prices more than reasonable. The Roast Duck was really tasty, juicy, and meaty. The Beef Chow Fun and Congee were both good. The 牛脷酥 was cold but heated up very nicely in the air fryer. It was delicious! I am glad they offer it because not too many places do. I am glad Shun Wang is around and I don't have to go to Chinatown to get a decent Roast Duck.
My family loves their roast meats. We have tried many places and this is one of our faves. I usually just takeout so learned to avoid the lunch crowd bc lines can get long. Either come before or after and since they are open pretty early to late it's not bad. It's definitely not a great ambiance kinda cramped intake out area bc they use this as area for bussing tables.
I heard about this place from my friend while she was at the hospital and craving hot congee. Too bad they don't offer a straight-up vegetable congee just plain for non-meat eaters. From the outside it looks different than you'd expect, there's a dine-in area but also a takeout counter that feels like a bank teller window, with plastic barriers. They only take cash, so come prepared. The food is warm and comforting, but not much customer service from what I observed.
Great experience! We were welcomed with a pot of hot tea, which was a nice touch. The highlight of the meal was definitely the soups--we ordered the egg drop soup and the vegetable soup, and both were absolutely delicious, warm, and comforting. The rest of our dishes--fish fillet with ginger and scallion, sweet and sour chicken, and pork chops--were also very tasty. Overall, a really satisfying meal and we'd happily come back again!
A good classic cantonese place. BBQ meats and cantonese breakfast was delicious. The flavors were so authentic and made me feel like I was back in Hong Kong. No frills, you may need to share your table. There's also limited seating so you may need to wait for a table. Service is as expected - helpful but not necessarily friendly. We'll definitely come back!
Our family decided to do a large take out order from here and, unfortunately, the flavors were just not up to par with other Chinese restaurants in the area. The restaurant is relatively small and a bit on the dingy side, but takeout orders are big here because of the small amount of dining space. Customers typically order the roast meats, but this restaurant also has the typical kitchen entrees that you can order for large family gatherings. The roast meats, specifically the roast pig isn't that bad, but the kitchen entrees were quite disappointing. The Young Chow Fried Rice was a bit on the mushy side and the flavors of their food were just blah. With all of this said, I probably would just come here to get their roast meats over rice and skip the kitchen entrees in the future.
2.5 Stars; rounding up to 3 Stars. I thought Shun Wang would have classic Cantonese dishes; they did but it was on more of a subpar level. All the dishes were just ok; nothing was "bad" but nothing really stood out either. However, for a quick, no frills meal, this place will do fine. Note that they close at 7pm daily. They sell the usual BBQ meats displayed for purchase by the lb. This seems to be the go-to for the locals. This was the menu we had, shared by 10 ppl:: - Roast Duck ($40/whole duck): this was fine but would have been better if not served cold. - Roast Pork: fine; very lean pork. - Fish Fillet w.Scallion & Ginger: very bland with minimal fish. - General Tso Chicken: we originally wanted to order the Lemon Chicken but our waiter actually discouraged us from ordering this dish. He suggested General Tso Chicken instead, which was pretty good (but kinda Americanized). - Spareribs w.Black Bean Sauce: too mildly seasoned; almost bland. - Orange Beef: good but the orange flavor was very mild; so mild that some ppl didn't even realize they were eating orange beef. - Mapo Tofu: don't order a Szechuan dish at a Cantonese restaurant! lol This was not spicy at all; bordering on bland. - Buddhist Delight; slightly overcooked but fine otherwise. - Rice: doesn't come with the entrees, so order separately @ $1.75/bowl. Service & Hospitality were fine. Not sure that I would return for a sit-down meal, but if I were in the neighborhood, I would drop by for their take-out BBQ Meats.
First the take out menu says Shun Won. The inside is not much to speak of and sometimes the people seem curt but they have the most authentic Chinese food I've had. Their casserole dishes are excellent. My dad especially likes their fried fish fillet with bean curd. You can't go wrong with the dishes on rice. Their chow fun and mei fun is also good. It's just good Cantonese comfort food for me.
This is old school Cantonese food. It is good for people who is on salt restrictions, which is good for older people, not like the new Cantonese food. As you walk in they have fresh BBQ meats sold by pound. They have a small dining area to eat in. There dishes you can order with one, two, three different type fresh BBQ meats over rice and other dishes over rice. We come here when we are in Queens, we come here to order BBQ meats, roast pork, roast duck. Soy sauce chicken. And roast pig, and congee. We had lunch wonton soup, and bitter melon with beef, and tomatoes with beef. Some people will find food with not enough seasoning, this is old school Cantonese food. The Bbq meats sells out fast if you dont get there early. They close at 7:00 pm, which considers early for restaurant.
Very high quality canton style restaurant for congee, noodles, over-rice, and roast meat. I personally come here once a week because of the price that it offers for the quality of food. Not going to find a fancy dining experience here, but definitely great bang for the buck kind of restaurant locally in Elmhurst. My personal favorite is their salt & pepper fried pork chop over rice, tender and juicy insider. Their congee is also top-notch, especially the preserved-egg congee. Don't forget to get their fried sweet dough, pretty unique in NY, although it's common in Canton China. Service was okay, but not something I would value highly at this price point.
Saw the great reviews and amazing pictures of the Cantonese BBQ items so I was super excited to try this place. After grocery shopping dropped by here at approximately 11am and picked up a bbq pork over rice and roast pork over rice. $8 a piece for each of these and if you get it by the pound it's $14 a pound. That's quite good from a pricing standpoint. I made sure to take off the lid for the roast pork so the skin can stay crispy. Now granted it took me about an hour to get home since I had to drop my mom off first, I opened up the BBQ pork rice and notice there's very little color on the pork. I tend to like mine a little bit more on the done side but this was pretty anemic looking. Meat was tender but unflavorful. Veggies were a bit bitter. Rice was ok but probably could've used a bit more soy sauce since the ratio of meat and veggie to rice was not great. So the roast pork, it wasn't crispy and also not flavorful. In conclusion, BBQ pork needs salt and to be cooked more. Roast pork needs salt, and I'll have to try this again to see if the skin is crispy in round two.
My mom wanted char siu specifically from this place... I also bought some in Flushing for myself...I noticed it had a C rating and decided to call my mom but I couldn't contact her so I went ahead and bought only half a pound. No line, nobody but us on a Sunday. A bad sign... Back in the day, this place was so damn busy, there was a line out the door even when Covid was so scary... I used to come here to get congee and even that sucked the last time I was here and I wouldn't have come back if my mom didn't ask me to. We did a taste test and in the end I gave my mom the char siu I bought from Flushing. Wasn't too salty but had a nice lean and fatty mix and I just didn't want to risk getting her sick. L tried the char siu from Shun Wang and it was bland but also really old. Too lean, so dry. I think I'm just going to throw it away and I rarely ever waste food but if something's bad, I don't want it. Lack of customers, food quality has definitely gone down, C rating. If I really want Char Siu, I'll go to my favorite place in Chinatown.
Didn't have a lot of things we wanted to order (sea bass with black bean sauce) but if you recognize an "og" Chinese restaurant, you'll definitely enjoy the peking and roast duck, Chinese vegetables and chicken with black bean sauce. When I'm in the area I will come back and try the barbecue pork and report back :) CASH ONLY!
Cuisine: 6 Service: 4 Decor: 3 Value: 7 Overall: 6 After all these years, Shun Wang is still the place around Elmhurst to get the best bowl of congee imho. My favorite is the Fish Congee, but the Sampan Congee is another favorite of mine. In general, all of the congees are consistently good. As for the roast meats, I think their best item is the Soy Sauce Chicken, which is made well. The rest are decent, but I would rather go to Five Loaves & Two Fishes nearby instead. The stuff I would skip here are items like their Wonton Noodle and Rice Rolls. Both are made poorly and not up to par versus the best around. Anyway, I believe this is not a Cantonese roast meat shop that can deliver everything I want. Regardless, I rarely drive by without stopping in to pick up some congee and possibly half a Soy Sauce Chicken. read more
Real ones know Queens don't play about food. Pulled up to Shun Wang in Elmhurst and went full savage mode on some real Cantonese classics. No fancy vibes, just serious flavor. Roast Pig over rice? Crispy, juicy, zero mercy. Roasted duck over white rice? Illegal levels of good. Pork wonton noodle soup? Broth so rich it pays rent. This is traditional Cantonese done the right way -- friendly staff, big portions, no nonsense. If you're in Queens and not eating here, that's on you. Dine in or take out... just don't miss it. read more

As soon as you walk in and see the roasted meats hanging at the right, you know that you will be in for an authentic experience. Shun Wang is a no frills Cantonese restaurant you typically only find in a Chinatown. There is a medium sized dining area and an expansive menu with any dish that you can think of. My friends had not really been to such a place so I ordered a few classic dishes for them to try: roast duck, Peking pork chops, yang chow fried rice, and chicken with mushrooms. The dishes arrived at our table quickly and thetaste of everything was on point. Portion sizes are generous too for sharing. The waiter was very nice too. Though they close at 7:00pm, he told us to take our time and did not rush us at all. We'll definitely be back the next time we are in the mood for Cantonese food. read more
One of the few places that makes a good flavorful congee and also offers the traditional crullers to go with it. We often get take out but have also dined in for congee. The restaurant is nothing fancy but serves its purpose for a quick bite. Service was friendly and fast. They have a good selection of cantonese roast pork, chicken and duck and also have a full menu of dishes over rice or full a la carte entrees. read more
My go to place for char siu over rice in ELMHURST. GREAT TASTINGbbq meats. One of the best roast pork joints in Elmhurst. Friendly staff. CASH ONLY since Covid. Has all types of bbq meats, congee, and dinner dishes. Hours may not be updated on Yelp so call to make sure it's open. 12/30/23 - bought $85 worth of meats and asked for extra ginger scallion in a tiny plastic condiment container and they said i would need to pay for it!!! That's sad. And still cash only since covid! read more
Review is only for takeout. The roast meats are of good quality and service is friendly and efficient. Prices have recently gone up, so be aware if you're a regular (of which there are many). I thought the minced beef congee was particularly flavorful. Fried dough sticks sell out early on the weekends, but I enjoyed the sweet version I was able to get. The rice noodles in the 叉燒腸 were too thick in my opinion but everything else tasted good. read more

Always a good spot for Cantonese food. I usually get their congees with fried dough. Their BBQ meats are also really good. Wanted to go on 8/2023 but they were closed. Can't wait for them to finish renovations. read more

Hidden gem for comfort Chinese food! Go early around 12 noon for lunch or 4:30pm for dinner and bring cash! They close early, by 7pm. So if you want to eat dinner, you have to be there by 5pm in order to have enough time to order, eat and enjoy all the wonderful dishes you can order there. We went today around 4:30pm and we basically had the place to ourselves except for the couple at the table next to us. Would definitely recommend Shun Won to all my family & friends! Two thumbs up! read more
Service was fast. The roasted duck was delicious, but keep in mind that you'll get these meats cold. At least we did. Has to be reheated when you get home, tried having a piece in the car and it wasn't warm at all. The roasted pig I was not a fan of, there was barely any crispy skin and the pork was under seasoned and slightly gamey . I'd definitely return when I have a duck craving. Also cash only. read more

Not sure if they are currently taking orders for dishes besides BBQ meats, but it seems like their dining area is still closed. Take out only. They currently sell roast pork, char siu, roast duck, ribs, and chicken for take out. I went too late for the duck, but got some crispy roast pork. Skin was nice and crispy and the cut was on the lean. Very good but a tiny bit on the salty side. read more

If you are hungry and you want something good , filling and affordable, this is the place! I love their roasted duck the most as it's super tender and surprisingly not oily. Definitely a good lunch spot if you work near. Definitely would recommend this place to my Yelp friends ! read more
The Chinese scene in Elmhurst is a bit like the wild wild west: random places come, even more go. Shun Wang was a bit like the go-to spot for all non-pretentious Canto style rice, noodle, and congee dishes. It was dependable for the area, but unfortunately nothing lasts forever. Shun Wang officially closed and has remained closed since the DOH stopped by. It was never too crowded and the food was always reasonably priced. It wouldn't hold a candle to most of the food in Hong Kong but it did the job for whenever Canto BBQ fix was needed. Plus the guys working the place were hard working and super generous with the portions. There is a part of me that hopes they resurrect themselves in another part of Elmhurst to keep things going. I'm not sure if they will remain shuttered forever, but enough time has passed to where I think this is the way things will be for awhile. I also loved their dry noodles with wontons and roast pork. It was the ultimate comfort meal from any long day. They also charged next to nothing for a big container of congee, so much that it would take me a week just to finish it. Slight update: DOH sign has been removed and things are back to normal at Shun Wang. The floors are shinier, the staff is bustling, and the meats are as aromatic as ever. I'll admit they had me scurred for a hot minute but this is really a win for the neighborhood! read more
