The most efficient method of finding a delicious meal in flushing does not include reading reviews or scouring Reddit comments for recommendations. New great places are opening all the time and by simply getting off the 7 train at flushing Main Street and taking a walk around, there are innumerable intriguing restaurants for those with eyes to see. I was so satisfied with my experience at Young and Rich. A friend and I shared the 9 cold dishes, the stir fried gizzards and, on the waiters recommendation, the stir fried beef. The 9 cold dishes would probably be best shared between three people as it's quite a decent amount of food. From the photos on here, it seems the dishes rotate but our platter had cucumber salad, bamboo shoots, daikon, some type of mushy eggplant thing, lotus root, sliced tofu sheets, a version of husband and wife tripe and beef, spicy gizzards and some mushrooms. All of the dishes were delicious and satisfying and each had its own unique flavor. Some highlights were the lotus root which was crunchy and tossed with human pickled chilis, the soft noodle-like tofu sheets, and the perfectly balanced cucumber salad. This was my first time trying gizzard, and while the texture was unfamiliar I found these to be well prepared and not overly chewy. They were stirfried with pickled beans, garlic, peppers and chilis. Our dish was prepared at 50% spiciness and it was hot but tolerable. Despite being unsure about the gizzard themselves, I couldn't stop eating this dish because of its addictive sauce and seasoning. I'm glad we took the waiter's suggestion on the stir fried beef, which was incredibly tender and thinly sliced. It was paired with crunchy vegetables and fruity fresh chili. We had this dish prepared at 30% spiciness and I found it to have only a touch of heat, as long as you avoided eating the pieces of chili themselves. Both dishes were delicious and I couldn't get enough of the sauce soaked rice at the end of the meal. Although similarly spicy to Sichuan food, the flavor profile is different here. It's hot but complex with pickled elements and fruitiness throughout. It pairs great with a cold beer. I generally don't put much stock in the quality of a restaurant's service, as long as they bring me my food, but all the servers here were so sweet and friendly that it made the experience that much more special. I would love to return here for another great meal. read more

Love the bright interior design. Service was very attentive with the waitress constantly coming over to see if we needed anything else and checking to see how the food is. We ordered the mala grilled fish and upgraded to the sea bass and added some extra ingredient to the dish like tofu, duck blood and enoki. Also ordered the stir fried pig stomach with bamboo. Very tasty and goes well with rice. You can pick your spice level for each dish. read more

Hunan restaurants in NYC are harder to find than a Republican at Burning Man, so when I came across Young and Rich as a lunch contender, I was skeptical there'd actually be authentic (and good) Hunan dishes. But there were, and I was more than happy to be wrong. The black Fried Stinky Tofu was delightfully musky and pungent, though nowhere near as stinky as its Taiwanese cousin (as is typical). Definitely get this for dining mates who've always wanted to try stinky tofu but need a "training wheels" version to start. The Sauteed Prawns with Garlic and Vermicelli were gloriously crunchy and juicy, while the Griddle Spicy Bullfrog Pot was classic Hunan in a stew--from the chewy frog meat to the delicious green peppers. Similarly, the Stir-Fried Beef Hunan Style hit all the right regional notes. And the House Special Fish Head with Hunan Pepper--while taking an extra 45 min to prepare--was worth the wait for the mouth-tender fish and delicate spice, so similar yet so different from its bombastic Sichuan cousin. Service was pretty easy and attentive throughout, and the decor was modern and clean. read more

I went because my hotel recommended it, plus, it was close by on a very cold night. I ordered the Tumeric Chicken at 50% spicy. The food was delicious, however, there was more bone and gristle than chicken. I asked about it and was told this was normal. They brought me a free desert I did not ask for and asked me three times to give them a review, so here it is. I would have traded that gooey desert for some edible chicken any day of the week! read more

Food (5/5): We ordered Mao's braised pork and Hunan sliced beef. Wow, the food here was actually quite good. We came here because of the fun name but the food surprised us with the delicious quality. Service (4/5): Solid service where they seated us quick and got our food out. They had no issues with refilling drinks and getting utensils. Ambiance (5/5): Nicely decorated interior with Chinese rich vibe type decorations. Really liked the theming of this place. read more

We got the Chairman Mao braised pork belly, and hunan sliced beef. Pretty interesting aesthetic here, with the cats and dead mouse. Luckily they don't check your age or TC before you're seated here. The free appetizer of spicy mala pickled cabbage and nuts is really good. The sliced Hunan beef is transcendent. Like I've literally never had this level of juicy and tender beef. I almost thought this was wagyu beef. Wasn't too spicy at the regular level, and had a good mix of bean sprouts and thick glass noodles to soak up the broth. The chaiman mao braised pork belly was also really good. They have massive chunks of meat, and crunchy bok choy for fiber. Really juicy meat, maybe I'll try the sweet version later. read more

I entered a place full of cute and most popular animational figures. Food is leaned towards the most modern popular "want to have" typical but "too much work for in home" type of spices, including anything from plain to mala . They host all my preferred small bites snack options and huge menu of the eat out cravings. Thank you for sharing a picturesque scene and one of a kind poetry. It makes me smile and happy to be around. read more

The food is really good, but the portions are a bit on the smaller size for some dishes, especially if you're getting a grilled fish. It was yummy to try though! Grilled Fish: we settled on the stripe bass ($50), and with 5 add ons, it was an additional $15. The flavor was pretty good, but for the price, you really don't get much. I thought the fish was especially on the smaller side, also quite salty, while I kinda had to play I spy with the toppings, it wasn't enough to go around. There's another place I prefer more for this dish that does a better job, and is better with the portions. Cold Dish Appetizer Sampler: I loved this one! It's perfect for first time visitors who have indecision but also want to try everything on the appetizers menu - this delivers exactly that. While again on the skimpier side, I enjoyed a majority of the samples here, and now know which ones I'm not particularly fond of (for example, I would skip the wasabi artic clams, it's very strong and doesn't need the wasabi and would do better with a different flavor). Presentation is beautiful too Stir Fry Gizzards: my favorite dish had to be this spicy and sour gizzards. The gizzards were a tiny bit on the hard side for chewing, but I didn't mind too much as it was so flavorful. I think they're pretty generous with the gizzards, and the pickled beans as well. Flavors are strong and so yummy. Not for the non-adventurous eaters though. There's no gamey or weird taste (to me, anyway), but textually, might not be everyone's cup of tea. I'd get this again :D Stir Fry Green Pepper Beef: the flavors are similar to the gizzards, but also even spicier. This was such a hit with the party! Too little beef though :( read more

3 stars only because I don't really think this place is for someone who doesn't enjoy spicy food that much! If you love spicy food, this place is for you! The menu has so many spicy options, it was actually a bit hard to find non-spicy dishes for someone who doesn't eat spicy. My friends (who love spicy food) and I came here for dinner and they ordered a few spicy dishes (Mapo Tofu, Stir fried beef) while I got 2 non-spicy dishes. They kept commenting on how good the spicy dishes were. Very comfortable seating booths! Spacious for 3 people. I had Mao's Braised Pork and Steamed Egg with Beef which I thought was okay. The pork seemed much more fatty than I expected. read more

Young And Rich - Top down: 1. Steamed egg & minced beef; 2. mao's braised beef ; 3. mapo tofu (spicy!); 4. hunan style stir fried beef (spicy!) - Chinese Near Me - Flushing, New York

TLDR: super cool, modern, fast service, good variety of food Went with a group of 3 for a Friday night out. There was plenty of seating and we were all quickly seated. The restaurant is clean, modern, with really cool art pieces all over the restaurant. During the order process, we ordered mao braised pork (sweet), and I ordered stir fried chicken with Szechuan peppers. I will note that when the waiter asked if we wanted salted or sweet maos braised pork he told our group of friends (who speak Chinese) that "white people prefer the sweet version"... I will say he was not wrong! Maos braised pork: sweet, seasoned well, could eat the whole bowl if I could. Stir fried chicken with Szechuan peppercorns: it was crispy and spicy as anyone would want. This unfortunately was not my favorite restaurant take on one of my favorite dishes. The stir fried chicken and peppercorns felt more greasy than I am used to having. Overall, I would go again but I would certainly try the other great things on the menu if I was around ! read more

Service, food and ambiance were amazing! Highly recommend for great Hunan Chinese Food. Food has a lot of flavor and level of spice can be customized to your liking. I did a level 30%, this was perfect for me, any higher and I wouldn't be able to enjoy the flavors of the meal. We had the Hunan Fried Rice, Hunan style stir-fried beef and Crispy chicken with Chili Pepper. read more

Downtown Flushing is chock full of Sichuan places now so the competition is fierce. Young & Rich tries to distinguish itself from the other establishments in its trendy decor rather than playing into the more classical Chinese decor but I think it works. Food here is really good IMO. The pig ears with shredded cucumbers were a great way to start the meal and the contrast in textures was great. Stir fried cauliflower was also well seasoned and cooked to perfection, highly recommended. The chili chicken was also perfect - hot, crispy with just the right seasoning and mala numbing spices. Portion sizes are a tad small but prices are reasonable. Location is a bit off the main track but still worth stopping by. Thumbs up. read more

4.5 stars! Came on my boyfriend's recommendation since he had it once before & the food did not disappoint. We ordered the braised pork belly & buns, a hunan style stir fried beef (forgot the name, but it's something like smoke-style fried beef), & the tomato and spare ribs soup. They also give a small app of seasoned kelp and peanuts while waiting for the food. Portions here are enormous, and good for a party of 3-4. The tomato & spare rib soup was so flavorful and tasty! It comes with corn, tomato, mushroom, & spare ribs. There's almost a bit of a ketchup taste to it, but not in an overwhelming way by any means. We ordered the beef at mild spicy (2 pepper signs instead of the original 4) & it already packed quite a punch. The beef was perfectly cooked, seasoned, & the dish was well balanced. Braised pork belly was also delicious, but definitely needed the buns to help balance out the salt. Overall, definitely a great restaurant for those who can handle & love spice, but there are great non-spicy options as well. Restaurant is spacious & staff are quick and efficient. Definitely will be back! read more

Stopped by for dinner around 7:30pm on a Friday and waited 15 mins (not bad tbh). I would give it a 3.5 but the waiters were friendly and attentive so it deserves a 4 instead of 3. The vibe is young with a lot of figurines as decorations and cute arts on the wall. The food portion is good but they were very spicy and salty (it might be what we ordered). The braised pork was pretty good but got a little salty at the end. The appetizer platter and fish was spicy (and I love spicy food) so get mild if you can. I would skip the appetizer platter even though it looks nice for the grams. read more

Lawd have mercy. Let me tell you that I was not prepared for the spiciest thing I've ever ate. My husband was like let's eat at young and rich just because of the name. It's steps from Hotel indigo. Husband said it was szechuan so I took his word for it. I even told him to pick something we haven't had before to share. Our waiter was very adamant about getting us to eat fried rice. Like I'm use to attempts at persuading me to get something that most white folks like.. but I can see why dude was pushing for fried rice..bahaha. I've wanted to try hunan for years. I know hunan spice hits different than Szechuan spice. I'm quite used to the szechuan spice but I was not prepared for the hunan spice! Got spicy and sour enoki mushrooms and beef. So good. I loved it but my body and soul was on fire. I tried playing it cool but my face and ears were red. I'm not exactly sure how to describe what I ate but dammit it was delicious. All spice definitely not sour.. Definitely would eat here again..and even though it felt like I was about to combust I would eat hunan again!!! read more

The Szechuan/Hunan styled food here is delicious and comes in family style portions. I got the Spicy Chicken, Stir Fried Water Spinach, and Mapo Tofu. All of these dishes were perfectly seasoned what more can I say. The chicken and tofu had a tang of spice but weren't overly spicy which is ideal. The spinach wasn't too oily and had just the right amount of salt. The servers were attentive, the establishment was clean, and the food slaps. Definitely coming here again to try more of the menu! read more

Wonderful Hunan food restaurant off the beaten path in Flushing. Five stars for the food. Everything served was delicious from the spicy shrimp to chili fish with pickled mustard. Mala Prawn was one of my favorites, with savory spices almost similar to seasoning paired with lamb. Highly recommend that one. The spicy pickled fish was enormous, even for two people. Large, juicy chunks of fresh fish, pickled mustard, and tofu with a wonderful mix of spicy and sour flavors. The best dish overall was the pork belly. As a Texan who loves good bbq, the meat literally melts in your mouth. Lots of savory flavor. My only recommendation for the restaurant is to add more buns - 5 is not enough for the amount of meat they serve. Service was very quick and efficient. We came on the weekend for lunch. It wasn't terribly busy by time we left but clearly has happy clients. read more

Prince Street in Flushing has got be one of my favorite streets in New York City and I'm so glad I have occasion to go back to it often to visit one of my newest go-to spots. If someone were to ask me "so, what's Young and Rich like", I would clarify that it is not the newest KDrama on Netflix, or a place to buy some Supreme gear, but rather an excellent option for slow paced Szechuan food surrounded by...KAWS? I'm not a fan of lazy pop art that simultaneously pretends to mock corporate consumer culture while monetizing any and everything for the sake of consumption, but I digress. I come here for the food because it's excellent, and despite my disdain for KAWS, the atmosphere as a whole makes for a fun time. The staff are as helpful as they can be considering how fly their outfits are (I'm not mad at someone taking their dear sweet time because I sure as heck wouldn't want to get Yeezys or my Commes des Garcones Chucks dirty)...which is the way of saying service is a bit slow. Things take time and you may have to ask for things twice (or more) but everything eventually works out and the meals to be had here will satisfy and satiate. The menu is extensive and it may be worthwhile to think through your order and get a variety of dishes. The portions are very generous and this a situation where the more in your party, the merrier as you get to try a wider selection. Depending on the dish, the spice level varies and to maximize on different flavors, I like picking options with different bases beyond more traditional Szechuan red chili or peppercorn heavy dishes. The chicken with dry chili is a Szechuan classic and a dish I would order as a standard, but the fish with green pepper sauce is solid if you're feeling seafood, and the ma-la beef is also an excellent choice. Given the unique design of the place, the expansive menu, and the general vibe, I am enamored by Young and Rich and am already looking forward to future visits. Definitely a place that should be on your radar! read more

I loved everything about this place really top tier From the kaws decor inside this restaurant to the food and the service . The manager that helped me pick out what i should try he was so nice and patient about it because we used a translator on the iPhone to help me communicate what to order. I initially saw this place on TikTok and i new i had to try it right away on my next day off. When i say the food was soo good i mean it. Top must haves are the ginger chicken with white rice and the stir fried beef dinner and esp the pork buns. I know i definitely have to go back again with some friends so they can also experience everything i know their or more thing i want to try on their menu when i get back and the price for everything was decent as well the portions they serve is hugeeeee so trust me when i say you will be full even when you don't want to stop eating lmao. I'm happy that i was able to packaged the rest to go and eat again later when i got home. If you are looking for a good experience and excellent food to try this must be your first stop . And if your looking to take some nice pictures next to kaws dolls it's a perfect place to make great content for your TikTok and instagrams pages . Enjoy and i will be back very soon read more

We've been coming to this place a few times, and everything has been good so far except for this last time. The bacon was 3x thicker than the chopstick (see picture below), and it was really hard to chew on. Anyone who has had Chinese food before knows in Chinese cuisine, the way you prepare the ingredients and the presentation of the dish are almost as important as the taste, if not more. When we brought it up to the manager, they did not offer to fix it unfortunately. Service was also not as attentive as before as we had to ask for things like straws several times. It is really sad to see this place going downhill so quickly. read more

Super trendy place as you can tell by the decor and the amount of young people. Came on a Sunday night and there was a ridiculous wait. They told us it would be around 30 minutes but ended up being closer to an hour. Just from watching how they operated during this hour and during our actual dinner it was clear they were very inefficient. Sautéed boneless pig feet w pepper ($18) - pretty delicious, love having the pig already deboned as it makes it much easier to eat. There was a decent amount of meat as well. Good flavor, a little spicy. Tasted similar to the sautéed pig intestines w pepper, except for the meat texture. Corn kernels w/ Salted egg ($16) - this was a fun dish with a strong salted egg flavor. Corn is juicy and pops in your mouth with each bite. Though, had a hard time eating a lot of this. Overall, pretty good but definitely not worth the wait. read more

modern restaurant in flushing that serves spicy Szechuan dishes. we ordered a fish strew, crispy chicken, salted yolk eggplant, and a spicy beef dish. I wasn't particularly amazed by any of the dishes, especially because I felt the spice of the dish overpowered any other flavor. dishes were a little on the pricier side, especially the fish. the servers were nice and offered different options to try. restrooms were very clean and the restaurant itself was bright and inviting. their water was lychee flavored, which threw me off a bit. overall, if you're a big fan of spicy, this would be a great place for you! read more

Young & Rich is toward the end of the row of yummy restaurants on Prince St in Flushing, Queens, but it's worth the extra few steps to get there. The restaurant decor is super cool esp if you like Kaws, and the food is authentic. My fave dishes were the string beans, braised pork, & mapo tofu. I would skip dessert here and stop by another spot for sweets & boba. Lastly, the lighting is great for food photos :) Stop by with a friend, or if you have a larger group, ask for the private space in the pack with the mahjong wallpaper. Enjoy! read more

Good vibe and cute decors. The place is bright, clean with lively music in the background. We had dinner on a weeknight, it wasn't busy and food was pretty tasty. The service was good and food came out pretty quick. 3 of us had the Cold Dish Platter as appetizer, you get to try 9 different cold dishes in small portion. We ordered 3 main dishes to share. The Prawns with Salty Egg Yolk was so tasty, I love the salty egg yolk taste. We have our fair share of Double cooked pork and this dish was pretty good here. Lastly, the Broiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili was very appetizing. It's a big pot of soup with a lot of ingredients in it, we couldn't finished and took half of it home. Now why I only give 2 stars? As much as we enjoyed our meal, we all had diarrhea after dinner that night into the next morning. I hope it's a one off incident :-( read more

This place is not on a prime location, but worth a walk if you want some authentic Hunan food. Some people confuse hunan with sichuan, they are both very spicy but they use very different kinds of chili pepper and ingredients. This place definitely offers the most authentic I've been. Personally I have been to Hunan province myself, I really enjoyed finding those flavors again here. The price is very affordable , we had 5 huge dishes only cost around $100. We had the picked fish; the portion is huge, with tofu in the bottom, the fish is very fresh, if you prefer a not so spicy dish this should be your pick, it's sour with a little kick of spicy. The maLa prawn is super flavorful, definitely a must have, the sauce get deep soaked in the prawn. The pork belly dish we had they melts in your mouth. 72 second sautéed pork stomach with bamboo really as they said fast, it came out the first and all you need is a bowl of rice, really great to go with a meal just eating that. read more
