    My family has been getting food here for at least 15 years. My grandfather ordered their food on a regular basis until he died at 101. They have fast timely service. The family that runs it is very nice and charming. They have the nicest flavored sauces. Though I do notice a difference in quality and flavor depending on who is cooking. We have always ordered out. A great small town business.

Our go to dishes are the beef in chili sauce, seafood noodles, and beef flank.. everything is consistently delicious. If you like a little heat, definitely try the chili sauce they have on the tables it takes everything to the next level. It does get pretty busy around dinner time, so I recommend getting there early to avoid the rush. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and happy to answer any questions. The food feels authentic, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I'll definitely keep coming back.

That's quite a mouthful, like their noodles! I believe the same broth is applied to all bowls so the only options you have to choose are either: hand pulled/hand cut noodles and your choice of meat, I prefer hand pulled. Now, I've had the house noodle bowl in the past in an effort to sample their meats. My conclusion is that the ribs are their best option. They are deceptively flavorful and fall off the bone easily. Their noodles have a great chew and mouthfeel while the broth is delicately beefy/porky. I love to jazz it up with the table vinegar and chili oil. As for serving size, these bowls are giant so you will leave full. If you still have some room though check out their oden selection. I like the fish cake/ball and chinese sausage varieties, they come with a lovely sweet and salty chili sauce that packs a punch. These noodles are truly splendid and even more so in the colder months.

    I was in the area with my kids and we stopped here on the way home to pick up some dumplings. I…read moreremembered coming her years ago when my son attended SBU. We had a decent meal and I thoroughly enjoyed their soups and dumplings. I'm not sure if it's due to the pandemic but I feel like the quality of the food fell off. The have a small parking lot located in the rear of the establishment. They're a small restaurant but have plenty of seating. When we ate here the first time, they were extremely packed in the middle of the day but on this particular day, they were very empty. I arrived hoping to get a myriad of dumplings but unfortunately, they now only have three types: chicken, pork & leek, and pork & Chinese cabbage. I ordered two each of the chicken and the pork & leek, all pan-fried. I was going to order some pork buns as well but the guy taking my order said they would take 20 minutes to make. I declined because we still had to drive back home another 90 minutes. We ended up waiting over 30 minutes for the 4 orders of dumplings and I'm unsure as to why. If I would have known they would have taken that long I would have said forget it. I also ordered some frozen chicken dumplings and paid for them but was told they ran out. Instead of bothering with a refund, I just told them to sub the pork & leek dumplings. When we finally got our order, we rushed home. I warmed up the dumplings for dinner by steaming them for a couple of minutes, and served with some quick ramen, addicting cucumber and a dumpling sauce I had to make because they didn't come with any sauce at all. They were OK. They are filled quite nicely but the flavor is definitely not as I expected or remembered. The chicken dumplings we "meh" but the pork & leek tasted much better. A few of them tore open very easily. Regarding the establishment itself, they could do some cleaning in there. I know it's a college area restaurant but while we waited, we noticed a lot of concerning things. Their doors are utterly disgusting. They are painted white and it looks as though they've never been wiped down. There is so much grime and crud from people touching them. Neither bathroom had soap which is a HUGE red flag. If the staff also uses the bathrooms, who's washing their hands correctly, and how? I also saw one of the guys in the kitchen wipe his face with tissue and place it on a tray. He neither had gloves on or cleaned his hands afterwards. He legit, went right back to handling food and the pans. I'm sure many people don't really pay attention despite there being an open kitchen but since we were not wanting to wait there that long and we were wondering why our order was taking so long, we had all the time in the world to just observe. The dining area really isn't very clean and I would probably skip another visit in the future.

We had to help them for everything we needed. They didn't ask how things were and many things were barely eaten. The bill separation (we were two families) was all on us. We had to run back-and-forth to the front multiple times. Once the worker was chilling at the bar on his cell phone. Therefore, at the end I gave a low tip. 3 dollars on 68. I tip well I was making a point. Tip is not automatic it's for good service especially in this economy. I was called out on it and repeatedly mocked as I left. They said it was a 1 percent tip it was actually 4.4 and undeserved. Up charge for eating inside, using a credit card. I guess they thought they would embarrass me and make me tip more but it didn't work. I'll be watching my bank account. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. I would never go back. Tips are for good service not for garbage service. Never even asked if we wanted dessert.

    I really wanted to like this place given the 4.6 rating and 2,000+ reviews, but our experience was…read moreextremely disappointing. When we walked in, the restaurant felt run-down and it was freezing inside. It was so cold that my entire family kept our winter jackets on the whole meal ,I even had to keep my hood up. We noticed other diners were also wearing their coats, which says a lot. I repeatedly had to ask for hot tea just to stay warm. Service was also lacking. The waiter was inattentive, and despite the restaurant not being busy, no one came by to check on us or ask how the food was. As for the food: * The soup dumplings had almost no soup inside, and the dough was thick and heavy. * The egg and tomato soup was completely bland and had almost no flavor. One thing that may explain the high number of reviews: there's a QR code on the wall offering free bubble tea in exchange for leaving a review. That definitely makes the rating feel inflated. Honestly, if this restaurant were located in Flushing, it probably wouldn't last long given the level of competition and food quality standards there. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Red Tiger based on our visit
