Big pots are where people all gather around and share a huge dish that has protein and vegetables and everything. They also serve beer. My favorite is the "mao cai" section, meaning things that were braised in a nice spicy sauce. A bit pricey, but flavor is good.!

The restaurant is huge with both indoor and outdoor seating under a tent so no reservation needed. Their menu is also huge with really affordable selections up to pretty costly (assuming for large parties) dishes. The service was nice and quick and our waitress was very nice and most of them do speak some English. When we went, of course we had to order the traditional lamb skewers, but we also ordered beef skewers, stiny tofu, sweet/sour napa, and a bunch of other skewers. The volume is a lot more than expected. The skewers were amazing! The price is very worth it in the end and we had tons to take home. If you are in the area this is a good one to try for traditional street Chinese food!

My last time on this block was in 2018 when I ate at Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao( my dear Yelp friend…read moreAndie also was a regular) - now permanently closed. I did not know that. I parked and saw the finishing touches on the new restaurant replacing Kung Fu XLB and decided to try a neighbor. Best decision ever: 1) Kan Wah was busy - 16 seats inside were occupied. Phone ringing nonstop. 2) The chefs were crankin' and laughing and having fun while they cooked. 3) a)The owner was a great guy. I opted for the Shrimp in Garlic Sauce lunch special plus extra garlic sauce and broccoli as add ons. A great piping hot entree/dish/ container came out on a red tray in 240 seconds. Tasty! The broccoli was well done.The shrimp pieces were huge, fresh and juicy. The sauce - not sweet or heavy at all. Light n delicious. The pork fried rice was gorgeous. The owner asked to ensure - pork ok? The egg drop soup that came with - best in NY! b) Accommodating owner - elderly local customer came in to eat. She brought her own plates and utensils. He said no worries and served her white rice on one plate and her eggplant in garlic sauce on the other. It was love and joy to see her enjoy her meal. * Ray Ray was inspired! Her dish looked so yummy that I ordered the same to go. c) Truck driver from NJ pulled up and got his favorite beef n broccoli extra extra spicy. d) Mom, Dad and daughter in school uniform came in at 2:35 pm and got some delicious fried chicken with pork fried rice. Yes typical NYC Chinese takeout with the above nice additions in a simple no frills atmosphere but dynamite food. Open at 10:30 . Plenty of free parking on side streets or $1.50 per hour up front. Cash only.

Notice Kan Wah Restaurant as I walked by. Look at the menus and ordered the Beef with Broccoli lunch special with Wonton soup. The food was cooked just right. I enjoyed the soup and the Wonton was not my thing. Prefer fried wontons instead. Will get that next time when I am in the neighborhood again. Yes, the place looks like a hole in the wall. Brings back so many memories of the take out restaurant growing up. Folks this is a busy establishment. Locals, students and patrons come to Kan Wah Restaurant to order entrees and lunches here. The line moves fast. Definitely be back soon to try their other lunch specials.

On a Thursday night, there was only one other couple there enjoying their dry pot bowls. When we were ready, we grabbed a large mixing bowl and the server hit a hidden switch that raised the thermal curtain to all the food choices. It's like being in a candy store and you had free rein. You make your own choices and pick from the bins in the refrigerated case with the provided tongs. We decided to have a single bowl and made it a family meal for 3. Once you make your selections from all the different fish balls, seafood, multi-variations of tofu, mushrooms, vegetables & noodles, hand the bowl to the server to be weighed ($ per pound) and let them know how you would like it to be cooked. You have a choice of noodle soup, fried or dry pot. We elected dry pot, which is basically wok stir fried. You can also add beef or lamb for $3 per serving and we asked for double beef. They also serve BBQ skewers of beef, lamb & chicken, so we tried 2 lamb sticks. Be careful when you order the spice level because it can be misleading. White is totally no spice, while Mild is 2 pepper signs, Medium is 3 peppers and Spicy is 4. We went with mild and it was plenty spicy for me because I fished out 6 pieces of dried red chili peppers from our pot. I don't even want to be in the same room with Level 4 for fear of it scorching my tongue. Make sure to have enough white rice ($2/bowl) to cut the spiciness and to make good use of the self-serve water dispenser. If you can sit right next to it, more power to you.

My friend told me this place is good for Lamb. We tried it and depends on which dish you ordering…read more I like the noodle with lamb, pretty juicy and tasty. Lamb soup is not bad. When it comes with Lamb Chop and Kebob / lamb on stick, it's extremely dry, I told the waiter it's dry and guess what he told me? He said " you need to eat it ASAP. Otherwise, it will dry out!"... I got it, basically, I need to wait by the kitchen door in order to eat ASAP. Lol. Literally, we eat it right after they leave it on the table. ITS VERY DRY! Btw, some dishes need to wait for One Hour and 30 mins. So we had to give up on it. For the service like this, with the bad attitude that one of the waiter is offering. It's our First time and it's our Last time as well.

I stumbled into this spot while out exploring Flushing's Chinatown area. It was jammed with about…read more40 people having what seemed like 3 very boisterous parties at large tables inside. They were deep into the adult beverages on their tables so I thought I would duck inside to check out a take-away menu. It is such a small spot that when the door opens and you walk in, it is obvious, so it is a little intimidating unless you speak Mandarin (I don't) and it would be awkward to try to back out unnoticed. So I did what I always do in that situation, which is to enter, fumblefu*k around in English and give my best impression of a forlorn, hungry guy willing to spend some money to get fed. There were 2 service staff that were on me immediately in a nice way. They helped get me oriented with an English menu and a $3 beer and I tucked into a strategic corner to consider the large array of authentic offerings on the menu while watching the parties going on around me. My take-away order was substantial in portion sizes for the price. They get high marks for that and I thought the taste was good if but a bit on the salty side. Despite the saltiness, there was plenty of mouth-numbing Sichuan peppercorn paresthesias assaulting my lips and tongue after! There were many interesting items on the menu that I would have tried had I been more than 1 person (I was not sure I could eat an entire portion of offals alone) or had I been eating in the restaurant (they have things that do not seem like they would travel well). It just made me want to go back. Here are some of the things on the menu that you won't see everyday outside of a bona fide Chinatown: Boiled Blood Curd in Pot; Hot Spicy Frog; Pork Feet with Hot Sauce; Ox Tongue and Tripe; Jelly Fish Heads; Stinky Tofu. There are about 15 other dishes on the menu that would make for either a great eating adventure or a good museum collection for a psychopath depending on your world view. I see that there are some negative comments on here about this place and I will agree with the comment that I found the food to be heavily seasoned, almost overly so. But I enjoyed what I had and am a fan of their price:portion ratio. I found the wait staff to be friendly and helpful. Plus, there was obviously something that the 40 or so drunken Chinese natives in the place knew about going here for a great time and a good meal. I would tend to side with them over one or two low Yelp ratings. I'll be back for sure.
