Tasty roast duck and chicken. Funny how you have to order take out in the hole in the wall next to restaurant. Restaurant looked nice though. Good prices. Bought half duck n half chicken for total or $21.

Let's start off the ***new year*** with a good review! Foo Kee Seafood Restaurant = Authentic Chinese food for real. Delicious, flavorful, savory. This is what I call comfort food for take-out, dine-in, special occasions, and any ordinary day! #loveIT I came here with my family for dinner right before the end of 2012. Here are the dishes we ordered: .+. Sauteed Snow Pea Leaves with Garlic Sauce .+. Deep Fried Chicken with Golden Garlic Sauce .+. Pork Chop with Peking Sauce .+. Jumbo Shrimp with Walnuts .+. Sauteed Fish Fillet with Vegetables We all left the restaurant in full satisfaction. The Chefs sure know how to sauce up all of the dishes~! NOTE: For those who like to order take-out, you must get their scrumptious Beef Chow Fun and Roast Pig!! The Beef Choy Fun has a lot of, what the Chinese call it, "wok hay". The Roast Pig is always tender, juicy, and full of flavor. TIP: The bestseller roast pig gets sold out FAST so you must order it before 4pm.

Foo Kee has always been consistent. Their dishes are fresh and tasty. Its our go -to place for birthdays and big parties for over 7 years. Expect it to be packed on holidays and weekends. Regular dishes ordered are lobster with scallions, mayo shrimp, fried soft bean curd with shrimp, steam fish, stirred fried pea shoots with crab.

One of the few chinese restaurants left in nyc tht still serves good authentic chinese food.

My family comes here for dinner events from time to time. They can get pretty crowded here during weekends and holidays. The food is pretty good, but the service might be a little slow when it gets busy. It took a while for them to bring us the water...but I will cut them some slack because it was Chinese new years eve.

Try at your own risk. Foo Kee used to be better. My family used to think this place is pretty good (I would've rated 4 out of 5), with some tasty authentic cantonese dishes (my parents only like cantonese-style and big on fresh seafood). But started around 4-5 months back, they changed for the worse. It first started on a mid-autumn family dinner, and we ordered big Maine lobster and it was weighed 4-5 lb, but the dish came out looking like around 3 lb at most. Well, we didn't make any fuss about it, considering it could be embarrassing to really argue about that, and other dishes were good. We returned (yes, again, we "used to" like it) this time, avoided the Maine lobster, and ordered a steamed live fish (the fish pronounced mang-cho and one of our favorites). The fish came out tasting like dead fish (before it's cooked of course)! A little background here: my family often eat and cook all kinds of live fish at home. Believe me when I say we can recognize a dead fish on the first bite (hint: the texture, dead fish meat is mushy). When we raised this to the manager, he first denied about it and said the fish tasted fine. Later, after insisting on our stand, he backed down and returned the fish. However, my family and I vowed to never return to Foo Kee. To be fair, their other dishes are still tasty, but how good is a restaurant without its integrity?

Came here for a family gathering and the first thing I noticed was omg, this place is right across the street from Zebra Lounge 2! I'm not sure why it stirred an omg reaction from me. Perhaps it's because I've walked by this restaurant several times and never paid it any mind or maybe it's because I had a shitty dinner at Xiao Du Hui the previous weekend before settling in at ZL2 for a night cap and could've saved myself from a crappy meal and a walk in the cold had I known about Foo Kee which was right across the street! Since we had a large group our family reserved a couple of large tables and ordered a set dinner for every table. We had a non stop feast of: 1. Seafood with beancurd soup 2. Jumbo shrimp with walnuts in mayonnaise 3. Flounder 2 ways - pan fried flounder & sauteed flounder cubes 4. Filet steak with asparagus 5. Sauteed lobster with ginger & scallion 6. Snowpea leaves with bamboo pith fungus 7. Fried stuffed beancurd with minced shrimp 8. Lamb chops with black pepper 9. Black mushroom yee mein 10. House special fried rice 11. Red bean soup with tapioca Everything was good and the whole family was happy with the flavors of the dishes and the awesome value. The stand outs of the meal were the steak and asparagus as the steak was extremely tender and well seasoned and the yee mein for NOT being oily as yee/lo/chow mein tend to be. I would definitely return to try some of their a la carte items.

With Chinese New Year celebration dinner winding down, if you read my previous review (see one down) I wasn't going to make the same mistake by choosing another overprice, hoity toity Tribeca joint. So Flushing bound we went to Foo Key for two round tables of friends and yeah...lazy susans, rushed Chinese waiters and over usage of red, bustling tables of ravenous Asians! We had a couple other celebration dinners before. Oh, how I missed you. Sorry for dissing you. I'll never do it again. Our packed table (9 people) was ready to eat the Cantonese style cuisine served here. Melon soup to start. Let the dishes flow. Dungeness crab in chili and garlic. Crispy whole chicken. Pork chops with Peking Sauce. Seafood & Tofu casserole. Chinese mushroom with mustard greens. Pork with Chinese greens. The food was excellent. I'm not a fan of the Peking sauce as it is sweet but the table loved it. Everyone was happily enjoying the food and conversation with the occasional scream for ice water! The waiter just finally put a big pitcher of ice water for each table. So here is the opposite. With bellies filled and left- overs to boot for almost 70% less than the previous dinner it would seem my fortune and luck has returned for the Year of the Horse.

My first choice location for lunch in Flushing, I enjoy its Cantonese style food very much, sometimes have a late night diner through midnight.

Like many Yelpers here, Foo Kee aka Full House Seafood Restaurant has always been a go-to location for big family event. The restaurant has been around for quite a while and as other restaurants around the area closes down, Foo Kee continue to run it's business and that's just proof on how solid the food/service in this restaurant is. Parking could be an issue since they privatized the municipal parking lot, but if you are willing to pay 3 bucks an hour, your problem is gone. Tonight we came cause we had relatives visiting from out of town. We got here around 5:50pm and the place was empty, but it's no surprise because Chinese people eat really late. It's good for us cause our food came super fast! We order a total of 10 dishes for 12 people, the portions here are huge! but luckily we have beasts in the family so we were able to finish the 10 dishes along with 15 bowls of rice. some of food you should try here are: Steam Lobster w/sticky rice- this is such an awesome dish, they basically chop up the lobster and steam sticky rice with it, while it's steaming, all the essences from the lobster is released and become infused into the rice, so when you eat the rice, you'll taste a strong lobster flavor! the lobster meat still tasted tender and not overcooked. Any Chinese Barbecue stuff- roast pork/ suckling pig/ soy sauce chicken/ roast duck, they are all solid, especially the roast pork! super tender and extra flavorful! I also like the mayo shrimp w/ broccoli and candied walnut, the shrimp are huge and it's not overcook, super flavorful, good balance between savory and sweetness! The price is average, i wouldn't say it's cheap but for the quality of food you get here, the price point is excellent! Love the place, love the food and will always be a Go-to place for my family!
(4)Richard P.
Foo Kee has always been my family's go to place for big dinners. Why? Mostly because we know the manager of the restaurant, and because their food is very reasonably priced. Though their banquet/family style dinner is not always consistent, when they're on point, they're quite delicious! What I do always get here though, is their Chinese barbecue they sell right next door! Their cha siew might possibly be my favorite in NYC (better than Big Wong's). Very flavorful and tender, you can easily chow down a pound of it. Their roast pork always has crispy skin, and juicy porkrib meat. They serve three kinds of chicken, and of course duck! I usually order in bulk for my family, but occasionally I'll get a "San Boe Fan." This basically means rice with three type of meat and veggies for only 5-6 bucks!!! If you come during lunch time they'll even throw in a soup for you. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a huge steal for the amount of food they give you! Must order here for family style: Peking porkchops - Sweet glazed fried porkchops. Crispy with a vinegar sweet sauce that goes perfect with a warm bowl of white rice. Ginger lobsters with noodles - Why waste those beautiful seafood essence?! Pan fried with noodles and let all the flavors soak in. Jelly Fish & snail appetizers - These are my favorite, but obviously acquired taste. Enjoy!
(4)Kevin L.
This is a nice restaurant that serves delicious and authentic Chinese food. The portions were large. I would definitely recommend Steamed Crab over Sticky Rice and the Stir Fried Lobster. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. Price was very reasonable - around $30 per person for 8 dishes (2 of them being seafood dishes).
(4)efy l.
We came here for a nice family dinner to celebrate Chinese New Year. I remember it as Fei Chiu Woo from years back, but it is still great after all this time. While rightfully known for its seafood, I'd also recommend the Peking duck (just the right amount of crisp, and not greasy at all!), and the crispy beef. The service was genial and friendly. We had a great evening and we won't wait nearly 10 years to come back!
(4)Marcus C.
This place would have received four stars if it wasn't for its exorbitant prices... Food: very high quality stuff, but way too expensive! I recommend the garlic and soy sauce chicken, Chinese vegetables, the fried rice that is photographed in the menu, and shrimp with mayonnaise and broccoli. Service: quite responsive and friendly. Oh, there's a policy here of taxing the bill if you do not pay cash. Interesting... Decor: clean, very quiet, but that's due to the prices, not anything else. When all else is super busy in Flushing, this place will always have available tables because it's just so much more expensive than most other venues. Note: this place is open until very late at night (4 a.m. or something). Good to know =).
(3)Norman S.
decent cantonese seafood place. i love the chinese name of this place - fu gey, it basically translates as stinking filthy rich restaurant. dishes are tasty but slightly oilier than the average cantonese place. so fortunately the tea here is pretty good and gets nice and strong by the end of your meal. i really love the clam and duck feet hot pepper dish. the seafood pan fried noodles is also pretty decent. what really makes this place special is that they are open til 5am. and if you show up after midnight they will give you a free beer with your dinner (if you can call it dinner at that hour). and after midnight you can select from their house special congee menu which is so key because that is the easiest thing to digest, especially so late at night. surprisingly there is no dim sum served here.
(4)A.M. L.
Really solid Cantonese seafood. It has your average stuff, but where they really excel are their specials. I had the Fish filet with minced pork in black bean sauce, and that was just amazing. It came with sugar snap peas and red onion, which was such a perfect complement. Great for a late night meal! I would definitely bring my Cantonese parents to this place.
(5)Tenaj K.
I went here with a bunch of my co-workers once. Everything's pretty good, I will recommend it to any1 who comes here with their family, not a special occasion kinda thing but just a family dinner.
(3)Rova L.
I am SOOO BEYOND DISAPPOINTED - I used to love the roast pork at this restaurant. But today I ordered a beef chow fun with gravy and after eating half of it - what do I find? A giant roach in the gravy - I nearly vomited - so now at 9:30pm I'm not even sure if I should go make dinner or if I should just stay hungry until tomorrow. Follow up: Called to complain - they explained that the reason for the roach was that they did an extermination last night - I'm not sure how they think that this makes it OK? They offered to comp me 2 orders next time I'm there but I doubt I will be going there EVER AGAIN!!!
(1)William B.
I really like Foo Kee Seafood Restaurant a lot its because Foo Kee Seafood Restaurant of the Flushing, New York Chinatown area had one of my most favorite rice plate that...I really really love eating the most!!! And that would be the Beef W/ Raw Egg Over Rice!!! I also got a chance of eating some Chicken W/Corn Over Rice and also eating some Chicken Fried Rice... And so we a had very nice family lunch so far I have been to three Chinese Restaurants of the Flushing, New York Chinatown Area... The other 2 Chinese Restaurants that... I ate at were Canton Goumet Restaurant & Jade Asian Restaurant and it was on my 7 days stay in New York City which was back in June of 2014!!!

We ordered our family dinner for pick up, it was ready when we got there. I think it took longer to find parking so we can pick up our order. Since we had take out, hard to tell about service. We order 2 lobsters with noodles which was the best dish. The flounder was over cooked. The house special steak unfortunately had too much corn starch which didn't fully cook. My dad loved this place when he was still with us so we continue to viait for our family meal when we visit our mom. Overall I think if we ate in the food would have been better. I will update on next visit.
(3)hugo z.
The worst Chinese restaurant in flushing.... I can't believe how dirty it is!! I came here with my parents for dinner hoping for some good Chinese food but got over cooked and salty dishes.....
(2)Yih Biow Y.
We had a birthday dinner on Sunday night, the place was eventually packed after 20 minutes we had our table. Must try their fried rice! The fried rice is one of their signature food. We ordered a lamb dish, very tasty and tender!
(4)Sasa H.
The food was surprisingly delicious. The price is mid-range. Came for a family bday dinner outing. Weekdays are ok until dinner time or special occasions then its packed. Weekend is packed also. Might wait up to 30mins for a seat. Alotta ppl seems to be regulars here. Ordered like 8 dishes n the portion wasnt bad compare to other cheap restaurants. The fried rice was surprisingly good. Its hard to make fried rice that is tender, not too soft n not too hard for the rice. The chef at this restaurant has done it to perfection. Would definitely come back again.
(4)Lucy L.
Authentic Cantonese style food, friendly servers that makes you feel like home, parking is terrible in flushing as always love their oyster and roast pork pot, and their seafood dishes
(5)Mandy L.
This is your typical family-style Cantonese restaurant. The dungeness crab with sticky rice is delicious. After steaming both the rice and crab in a lotus-lined bamboo steamer, the rice becomes very tasty with all the crab flavor. Another fav would be their conch dishes... cooked without being overly chewy. Portion sizes are decent and the staff is friendly.
(3)David B.
Once againI took the family to flushing for authentic Chinese food. We find that traveling to queens is far better and a shorter trip then traveling downtown to Chinatown in manhattan. After parking in the local parking lot, the family walked around to search out another authentic Cantonese restaurant. We found one that had a B in the window but with Chinese restaurants this is common. Walked in and as usual the local community was on hand and we knew that we were looking at the opportunity to enjoy a great meal. Live lobsters, crabs and a multiple of fish right in front of us. We started with a cold duck, wonton soup for our daughter (shrimp and pork wonton) which were excellent. Always order one Americanized dish, sesame chicken which was one of the best I have eaten. Then the main dishes were water spinach and a 5 lb lobster with ginger which is the house specialty. Food was excellent. One point that I like, the food comes out in the order it is ready and everyone can pick and choose what they want. For the poor reviews before mine, do the reviewers really understand the local culture and for the reviewer that stated you have to be Chinese to receive top line service, we were treated just like the locals. All I did was say hello in Chinese.
(4)Jeff T.
I love this place for an authentic chinese dinner. The rice box lunches are also very good. The roasted items are good too. Their prices are reasonable and the service is always great!
(5)Harvey C.
Got some decent takeout here. (see pics) 1) beef chow fun ($9): pretty good. The scallions were real fresh and i liked that. The chef had some decent wok-chi as the chow-fun was smoky~ 2) BBQ 3 items over rice ($5.50): not much to talk about here. roasted meat with some soy sauce and vegetables. 3) beef stew with BBQ over rice ($5): tasty flavor. But the sauce was a bit watery for me as I like thicker sauces Although this wasn't the tastiest meal I've ever had, it adequately satisfied me!
(3)Angela K.
Yummy complimentary tea and nuts. The service was super friendly and great. I don't think they spoke much English though, so I don't know how I would've fared as well without the aide of Mr. Brian C. Garlic Eggplant. OMG amazing. Drool. Brian said the sauce on this dish is more americanized (think of Panda Express Eggplant but 1000x better). That being said, it was the favorite of all the dishes among Brian's Cantonese parents and grandparents. Thick, flavorful and a tiny bit spicy. Cantonese chow mein was good but its never been my favorite dish.. Brian likes it. I like chubby Lo Mein noodles better. Mixed vegetable dish.. I think the Buddhist delight? I like the veggies that are in it but the brown sauce was funnnkkyyyy. Weird smell/taste. Props for a legit Chinese restaurant being able to fill my vegetarian belly. People on Yelp say the food is legit, which it is but they also have many dishes that cater more to the Americanized pallet (like the eggplant lol) If you like fresh fish, this is the place to go. NOT fresh caught fish but LIVE fish in the TANK across from your table fresh. I saw them pull out the biggest lobster I've ever seen in my whole life and it was crawling at the box as they presented it for the guest approval. FREAKY.. but definitely fresh! My boy's family go here almost weekly. It must be legit and good. :)
(4)Will Y.
Pretty much everything here is good and well-made chinese/cantonese style food, but if you want my suggestions: -Beef chow fun with gravy. For $10, it's a big fat bowl of WIN. -Walnut Shrimp with mayo. Eat all the shrimps, then prepare to fight everyone at your table for the walnuts. -West Lake Beef Soup- Add some of the red vinegar that comes with it, and a dash of pepper. Then eat it until your head explodes from goodness.
(5)Tina W.
The manager recommended the "beautiful fried rice." I don't think it's actually called that, but yeah. He was touchy-feely with one of the males I was dining with. Other than that, the food is pretty good. Typical chinese food.
(4)Angelina E.
Close to the parking lot, and most of the food was good. One of the better restaurants in Flushing.
(4)Jason P.
Excellent Cantonese-style Chinese food. The seafood tofu casserole, Chinese broccoli beef, and the Beijing pork chops I ordered during their dinner service were very tasty and came in huge portions.
(4)Dorim L.
We came for the sucklng pig of course. When they brought it out for display, it looked really good. Then they took it back in to cut it into pieces. First, I was expecting the meat to be hot but it wasn't. That was really disappointing. The skin was crispy which I loved but the meat was room temperature which I was not crazy about. Secondly, the cut pieces came out to be one big plate. It didn't have that much meat for a whole pig. I felt sort of cheated. The other dishes we ordered was better. The sticky rice with crab was tasty. But I liked the sticky rice more than the crab. Usually king crabs are really sweet but the crab here was just okay. The fish filet with minced pork was great as was this cut steak dish with aspargus (or it could have been Chinese broccoli stems). The noodles with Chinese broccoli was bland. Otherwise, an enjoyable meal. It was decent enough as others have mentioned.
(3)Ryan S.
Ordered from the pre fixed banquet menu. Overall quality of food was good 4/5. Service was average 3/5. Decor and atmosphere was average 3/5.
(4)D. K.
One of the best Chinese restaurants in Flushing - which means one of the best in the city, since the Chinese restaurants in Flushing are recognized as being better than those in Chinatown. The food is perfectly prepared. We especially like the barbecued spare ribs, the 3 flavor chow lai fun, and the family style congee.
(5)Ian C.
I know this place has "seafood" in its name, but the dish I really liked wasn't "seafood" at all-- it was the roasted pork with the crispy skin. It's so good here! Crispy skin, tender meat, and fat... yum!! The rest of the food is pretty good. I don't remember what we ordered, but I did not not enjoy any dish put in front of me. It was all very good and it was an enjoyable meal. It's sort of hidden among the other restaurants in the area, so I've probably passed by this a few times. I wish I had discovered this sooner.
(4)Xiao Z.
This is one of my favorite go to place in Downtown Flushing. This place offers great lunch menu which is rather cheap and has a great variety. Having dinner there is a bit higher than other Cantonese restaurant, but it is totally worth it for the great food and excellent service they provide. I love their lamb chop and a whole king crab served cold. I've enjoyed family nights out at this place, and their staffs are really nice and caring to younger kids in your group. Will come back again and again.
(5)Dan D.
We went there with our friend on Saturday night and very disappointed. The food they served us was cold and taste horrible. The service was also terrible. Do not go there!
(1)Jeff J.
I came here with family for lunch, having heard that they have good value. The prices in the lunch menu are indeed pretty good. I will say that I think my review is flawed given that we walked into a seafood place and ended up ordering non-seafood items. That being said, the food was on the greasy end, and that's never a good sign. We ordered 4 dishes (beef ho fun, beef ligament with noodles, salt and pepper pork, and tofu/duck/xuecai stew) + a bowl of thousand year old egg and pork congee. The beef ho fun was standard and good, but again, extremely greasy. The beef ligament with noodles was probably the best offering-- meat exceptionally tender, flavor bold and consistent, and dish not awfully greasy. The salt and pepper pork was ok (I appreciated there being more meat than bone, but was disappointed with the level of crispiness). Finally, the tofu with duck was decent. Tofu was tender, duck flavorful (but in really small pieces), and if you're going to bill it as a tofu/xuecai stew, I expect to see some more xuecai. It was practically invisible in the dish. The congee was average (white pepper helped tremendously, though that's an easy add-on at any restaurant). All in all, an average meal in Flushing. If I'm to give them a fair shake, I'll definitely have to go back to try the seafood.
(3)Anthony C.
I've never had the chance to try Full House Seafood until I came for a family dinner last night. The place was nicely furnished and seating was comfortable. Even though all the tables were taken, Full House has a calmness that typical Cantonese seafood restaurants often do not evoke. On to the food! Our party of four ordered five dishes. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tender free-range chicken, steamed whole fish, and seafood bean curd casserole (my pick!). I would definitely order these entrees again. We also had beef with Chinese broccoli and eggplant with garlic sauce which were standard fare. Stick to the seafood dishes and you won't go wrong. Also, nothing was too oily so drink more tea as it combats greasiness and aids digestion. The service was attentive and helpful; speak Cantonese here and you will be looked after. I'm thinking of coming next month for another dinner because I need to make up for each time I walked past this restaurant without venturing inside!
(4)Ari B.
A few years ago, my favorite Chinese restaurant, "Kam Chueh" closed. Myself and my family were all very disappointed because it was by far our favorite place to eat in Chinatown. Afterwards, we tried out a few different places looking for a replacement. We couldn't find a place in Chinatown, however Flushing turned out to point us in the right direction. Foo Kee serves delicious fresh seafood and has a great choice of chicken, beef, pork, etc. The service is good too. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Chinese. In an area that has nothing but Chinese restaurants, it will be easy to miss, but I believe it should at least be given a chance by those that don't have a favorite place.

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for over ten years, and it has been our VIP choice for bringing friends, or hosting family events. If you are looking for a decent, reliable restaurant that would impress all ages, you should definitely consider this restaurant as one of your choices. Foo Kee serves authentic Cantonese cuisine in downtown Flushing, and it is one of the renown restaurant within the vicinity that has stands the test of time. Because of the high traffic of Chinese immigrants and as the main transport hub in Northern Queens, Flushing has been one of the most popular destination by both visitors and locals alike. Therefore, if your food quality does not live up to its standard, the patrons will just go to many other restaurants in the area. Flushing has such high turnover rate, that it feel like restaurant folds up like flipping pages in a book. Foo Kee has been in its location for over 15 years, and its food quality is tasty, and affordable for your average middle income family. It has ample room in the main dining area that can accommodate any event from your regular quick lunch, bithday bash, to company dinner. They also has a private room in the back if you desire a more private setting. One of the main point that I love Foo Kee than any other restaurants in Flushing is its friendly service by its superb waitstaff. They are quick, efficient, and most of all friendly when they bring food to your table. For all the years I've eaten in downtown Flushing, not one restaurant's waitstaff can live up to Foo Kee's standard, you can say they are the true professional in the food service industry. Like many of you, I have eaten in many restaurants in downtown Flushing and a lots of times when I am being serve upon by the waitstaff, I feel like I must have owe them money before because they are rude and disrespectful, or I feel my table cloth must has a target patten because every single dish they bring out literally fly & land on my table like they are practicing ultimate. I had a chance to dine in at another restaurant, which for this review shall remain nameless (read my other review to find out!!). When I ask about the dish I had ordered that has not come out from the kitchen for more than 30 minutes, the waitstaff either brush me off with the "soon to come" remark without even checking in with the kitchen (they must have telepathy with the kitchen), or they never get back to us at all; which I think is terrible service. I feel if you and I are paying customer sitting down in a restaurant, we deserve to be treated with decency and respect like every other human being, that is if they value our business and wishes us to come back. This is the reason I starting writing review of restaurants, because I think restaurant should be accountable for their food and service, and good service should be rewards as such. I have a dream!! I dream that American, Asian, Indian, Italian, and all people of different races and gender, can sit in a restaurant to enjoy delicious, authentic Chinese food, without being treated rudely, without being spit in their food and afraid of retaliation if speak up about their food quality!! (applaud in the background) Anyway, back to the review... In conclusion, Foo Kee delivers decent, reliable quality Cantonese food with spacious dining room, and professional waitstaff. If you are looking for a good restaurant to host family event, meeting friends from out of town, or just a quick dinner with your significant other, Foo Kee definitely will not disappoint you. Tip: if you wants to try out their food without spending the regular price, come during lunch hour as they serve their lunch portion with reduce price, and it comes with free soup and dessert!!

Okay so we are hunkering down waiting for the big bad now storm. Will there be a Snowmaggeden 2012? nyc.snowmageddoncleanup.… So we had our Chinese New Years meal tonight. chinadaily.com.cn/world/… Though this clip from Ellen is in bad taste it is horribly funny. ellen.warnerbros.com/201… Now onto the restaurant. In order to get good service here and at many old school NY Cantonese restaurants it is best to go with someone who speaks the language. They call it old fashioned I call it prejudiced. Some psychiatrists say racial prejudice is a symptom of mental illness. victorbloom.com/detail.p… Okay so anyway don' be surprised if you go and do not speak the language if you get bad service. Its a given with Cantonese restaurants in NYC. I realize other China Towns in the US don't have this but it is how it is in NYC. Having said that I will get to the food. This is home cooking like you might get at a Cantonese home. Nothing too fancy or over the top. IN China Town Manhattan many of the older Cantonese restaurants are now owned and operated by Hakka. If you don't believe me try speaking to them in Cantonese. They don't speak it because they are not Cantonese. This all happened after 911. If you used to go to Dim Sum in Manhattan and your favorite Dim Sum has changed that is the reason. I like Hakka cooking but they are not Cantonese and should not pretend to be. Here they are straight up Cantonese. My husbands parents have owned and operated restaurants in 3 of the 5 boros and also LI. They happen to know the chef here or at least one of them. His parents do not want him to take pictures. They think it's about them. Anyway the food is authentic. The service is not bad if you speak the language and they have specials. It also wasn't too dirty which most Flushing restaurants tend to be too dirty for my tastes. Believe it or not and one of the reviewers said the same thing they are known for their roast meats. I was told they have great lamb chops (which inst usually a Cantonese menu item.) But it wasn't on the menu. They only have it as a special. So I was disappointed. The food was fine there was nothing wrong with it. But in my opinion there are no great Chinese restaurants in NYC which includes all 5 boros. I hope to update the review when I get the lamb chops but I will call first. Everything else was just average Cantonese food. I guess I am spoiled as far as eating home made Cantonese food. But I would not hesitate to recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Cantonese food! I hate the 5 star system since there is no way to really be accurate.

I had the crab cooked in three styles - the carapace was filled with steamed egg; the legs with fried rice, and fried crab pieces. Everything was quite decent, as were the vegetables that we ordered. I think the only problem I have with this place is the price tag. We totally did not realize how expensive this place was and perhaps you would say that we're paying for the quality of the food, but I've had equivalent food elsewhere for less. So... if you have tons of money to spare and want to try out some solid decent Cantonese food, then you can try this place. Otherwise, there are other places that can satisfy your seafood cravings without breaking your wallet. The service was pretty decent. We had to wait for a few friends so we took up the table but didn't order for a while. They weren't impatient with us and were all around courteous. That I did appreciate. Not a bad place... but for the sake of my wallet I probably won't be returning.

I came here for a family dinner on a weeknight and the food was good but too oily as other have mentioned. The Peking duck comes only with the buns/scallion/cucumber/sauce here -- you don't get the rest of the duck meat sauteed with veggies. The lamb chops are tasty and I like their fried rice with scallops and golden raisins. The oyster/chestnut casserole and the eggplant with chicken casserole were both too oily.

Good clean full service restaurant with solid food at reasonable prices. I've never had a bad meal here. My little nephews and nieces are picky eaters but love eating here. They also have some decent lunch specials here. Take out is also available. Cheers! N

Everytime I come home to New York my parents pick me up at JFK and we go to Flushing for food. I've been to over a dozen restaurants in the area and this one was pretty average. We had a feast (7-8 dishes for 5 people)! I recommend the sizzling garlic beef. The service was prompt like most chinese places in Flushing and the place was spacious and pretty clean. The food didn't blow my mind away but was pretty solid.

For dinner the food is served traditional Chinese fashion--family style. They have a lot of options for seafood as well as other dishes of meats, veggies, pork, and chicken. However, there are a few dishes that are specifically catered to Westerners thus not making this authentic such as sweet & sour pork. This restaurant's quality of food is just average. If you get bored during your meal there's a large flat screen TV to entertain you.

Buyer beware. The food is pretty good, and the ambiance/decor is about average for a large Chinese restaurant. But I left feeling totally ripped off. We wanted to have a certain type of fish which is on the menu. The waiter, who was one of the maitre d' types in a suit jacket, keep telling us, no that's not very good and you should try this special. We switch to another fish that is on the menu, he keeps pushing the special. So, like idiots we agree and neglect to ask the price. The fish he suggested was in fact very good. When the bill came, they charged us $45 for this one fish dish, which was basically a steamed sea bass with some thin soy based sauce on it. In comparison the dishes we were interested in were about $20. Of course the head waiter guy has disappeared, and another waiter does the dirty work of giving us the bill. We complain, to no avail. We paid. Suffice it to say don't trust these people... I will never return and will tell everyone I can to avoid them. And by the way, we are Chinese. Imagine what they will do to non-Chinese. Stay away.
