    TLDR: Tasty Cow specializes in traditional Cantonese cuisine. Think lots of braised meats and a bit of offal cuts but familiar Cantonese flavors. The brisket is what they're known for along with the assorted meats. Don't leave without trying that brown sugar roast pork. A close friend put me on to this place, he comes here with his family. It's one of those hole in the wall places you wouldn't know about unless someone told you. My favorite here was the brown sugar roast pork. So interesting. It's sweet yet savory, fatty, they give you a slice of lime to eat it all together with. I don't generally like sweet/salty things but this was very good. The assorted meat platter is good but the tongue is my favorite. Last time I got the rice noodle rolls and beef brisket. If you like braised dishes, this is something you might want to check it out. For all you authenticity geeks out there, this is very authentic Cantonese cooking.

    Great location with a bakery next door. Overheard several to go orders were of the curey beef stew/brisket over noodles or rice. Tried the skewers and they were tasty. Curry dishes seem popular. The noodle soup with broth was a huge portion. Could be for 2 people. Space is large and you can hear the wok action happening the kitchen with loud bangs of the ladle and sizzling sounds. As a result, the smells coming out were amazing!

    Beef brisket noodle soup with flat rice noodle
    Kitty H.

    Opened for a year. First time visit. Cash only. They offer Chinese BBQ too. If you want fresh BBQ, call them couple hours ahead to reserve. Owner ( I assume she is) recommended stirred fried rice noodle with beef $14.99 but we didn't order. We ordered: -Curry beef ball $7.99: 7 beef balls. It's ok. -Skewers: beef tendon. Pork neck and beef. $2.5 each. Portion of one pork neck and beef tendon was small, especially the beef tendon. -curry beef brisket on rice $12.99. Add $1 for beef bone soup. Ok. - Cantonese style beef brisket soup noodle with flat rice noodle: $10.99: little bland. A few whole pieces of beef brisket with some are in crumbs. - Cantonese style beef brisket soup noodle with oil noodle: smaller portion compared to above flat noodles but tastier. Beef brisket pieces can be crumbly. But overall best dish of all. - free parking at rear. No back door. Walk around to enter from front. - very friendly service. Owner went over to each table and recommended dishes and BBQ. - Free WiFi. - comfortable ambiance. Overall, it's a little unique place in this neighborhood. They serve a little different cuisine compared to other Chinese restaurants. Food is fair. Price is ok but overpriced for the skewers considering the small portion size. Probably will visit again sometimes.

    A new contender in the nabe that has the flavors of Chinatown as well as home. This establishment just opened 10 day ago, so I'm giving them a bit of grace as they're currently going through their soft opening. On our visit here, a number of things that initially caught our eye (and drew us in) they unfortunately did not have. Namely, the charcoal grilled beef, the gluten free beef noodle, and the baked short ribs. The items we did order were actually cooked very well with the perfect amount of spice and flavor in Cantonese cuisine. Much of the dishes we tried reminded us of items we might have in a home cooked meal. That being said, we go out to eat when we don't want to cook at home, so the flavors definitely met my standards. There were hits & misses; perhaps it was the soft opening learning curve. The Marinated Meat platter is a sampler of traditional brined (" 卤水") meats, which included Five-spice beef, Pigs ear, Pigs tongue, Brined duck, pork belly, and firm tofu. This was a hit with the whole family. At $20 for the small size, it was a substantial starter for all the hungry bellies. Other good hits included the noodle soups, which average around $11 and go up to $13. For the portions, the ingredients, and craft of flavors, these were absolutely worth it. It seemed like anything that was listed as "rice dish" was able to be made into a noodle soup. My only suggestion was that the curry, which was rather spicy, be noted as such on the menu. Only 1 person in our party could handle spicy and ended up being the only person who could consume it. The Beef Hoof, while tasty and imparted home cooked vibes, was a bit over priced. IMO ($20 for half a hoof). It was smaller than what's we'd expected. Another miss was the Braised vegetables in broth. This consists or Shanghai bokchoy with roasted garlic cloves poached in chicken broth. While this also was reminiscent of something we could make at home, maybe that was its disadvantage...we felt it was not worth it for $15. It was a simple but bland dish where contents and portion size didn't justify the cost. Knock a few dollars of and maybe we'd order it again. I really hope this restaurant does well, it is a nice addition to the neighborhood. I hope to return soon to see if improvements have been made.

    Tasty Cow has replaced a Sichuanese restaurant at this location in Little Neck, Queens. It's a very interesting concept for a Chinese restaurant. When I looked at the menu, I asked the waitress what kind of food this was. She said it was from Guangdong, so I immediately thought Cantonese. But you don't find your standard Cantonese fare here. What you will find are specialty meat dishes, mainly stewed, braised and boiled meats. There are almost no deep-fried or stir fried dishes on the menu. The waitress said that this kind of food is very common in Guangzhou, so I was excited to try it. What did we eventually try? We had a beef brisket noodle soup, pork knuckle rice, and a tofu dish with a type of braised beef. I find it hard to remember the names of the dishes, but they are the standard noodle and rice dishes. I can only give a generalized review and that is that all the braised meats that you would have at at standard Cantonese restaurants in heating trays, is what you would get here, but done with much more care and presentation. The braised meats are mainly soy sauce based, but everything was tender and good. When I was there, I actually saw other diners question the menu as they had no clue what kind of Chinese this was, just like myself. All in all, the dining experience was good. The service and roomy dining room was a plus. Since this experience was a first for me, I would definitely come back and give other dishes a try, as many are new to me.

    This takeout was very delicious, I finished it all. It's easy to order online. The staff was good and quick with my order

    Beef brisket w/noodles in clear beef broth
    Christina C.

    Extremely high quality chinese style beef noodles/rice in Douglaston! The soup tasted very 'real' - meaning it's beef and spices without msg or artificial flavoring- it's something that I or a family member would make at home. Beef is tender and tasty, soup is strong and natural tasting. I thought the beef portion is very generous, especially given the way beef prices are at the moment. My friend ordered the pig knuckles over rice and she said it was tender and good, well balanced. The menu also has more dishes for dinner items - looks a little pricier, but you're paying for quality, so I am ok with that. The ingredient itself (beef) is expensive, so I am ok with the price. Will come back again- this is now going to be a regular place for me!

    I stopped by for lunch(first time visit) The Entrails noodle soup w clear broth is pretty good。 When I leave they asked my opinion on the foods, I said I love it, the only thing that not satisfy is they only have hot sauce, there was no chili oil. At night time, I grabbed something back home for my wife. Ordered beef brisket w clear broth and salty baked beef tripe. They recognize me and mention now they have chili oil. I feel amazed, at lunch I left some suggestions and at night they provided it.

    Braised pork over rice Teochew Style
    Kay Z.

    This is NOT OK. Ordered a braised pork over rice and basically got braised FAT over rice. That's just not edible. I understand pork belly is fatty but this is just all fat, no layers of meat. Ended up just eating the egg and lettuce that came with the rice, not a single piece of lean meat. Disgusted and disappointed. Was hoping this place would be better than the Szechuan place it replaced that didn't last very long. Definitely not coming back but to note, the staff was friendly.

    Spiced Beef Rice
    Chooi K.

    Grand opening mainly breef dishes in the area. Highly recommended their skewers which taste better than most of the streets skewers vendors in Asian communities. Their Teochow marinated dishes are good, noodles soup are yummy too! Portions are kind of small to us & prices is slightly high. And they accept cash only!!

    Beef entrails soup noodles!!! (All gone)

    delicious!!!! Must have: beef entrails noodle soup with flat rice noodles... best I've ever had in a very long time

I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.

The consistency is not too thin or thick and the flavor is balanced (not too sweet or sour). For 5 dollars, I think it's a steal. The house special rice is good and not too greasy. For some reason, it still tasted Americanized even with the Asian ingredients I was used to. There was some chicken, barbecue pork, mixed veggies, egg, etc. and the ingredients mixed well despite it tasting American. Even though I got a small rice, I still had some leftover to eat the next day. Despite my obviously biased Asian tastebuds, I was very happy with what I got and I will definitely be back for some more hot and sour soup!
