The steamed cold noodles with sliced pork belly in garlic sauce is a must have, a really refreshing slightly sweet dish that balanced well with the spicy chicken.
Some of the best Chinese food in NYC. I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat and already looking forward to my next visit. Special shout out to the tea smoked duck and flounder in garlic sauce!
The tea smoked duck was delicious and I like that the spice levels can be adjusted. Food was brought out quickly too. The atmosphere and restaurant looks better in photos and the tables were worn down. Bring cash to get 15% off!
Baby baby I’ve been losing sleep, dreaming about the things we can be on repeat only thing I did not like. The food is amazing and very nice place glad I tried it and would definitely come back with some people to try other dishes. The sesame cold noodle and the beef with soy sauce was very nice.
good environment and food. no long wait.
This is it. Literally everything on the menu was bussin. Come with a big group so you can order many different dishes. One of the gems of flushing :D
The overall experience was great, friendly staff and good food. The dishes we ordered were delicious but all missing something in my personal opinion. The taste could’ve been more layers instead of a dull flavor. Not the best place but still a good choice to go with friends when you visit Flushing.
Highly recommend! My friends and I came to this restaurant on a whim after a long session of ice cream and karaoke. We came in right before closing time but the staff were super accommodating and friendly despite well deserving of a break.The food:Some of the best vegetables I’ve had in NYC. The bok choy was very fresh and crisp. I find that some Chinese restaurants overstew them in sauce so the vegetal taste doesn’t come through but that wasn’t an issue here. I also greatly enjoyed the fried green beans! A bit heavier than the bok choy but we ate all of it in a craze.My friend got the dumplings in chili sauce. The sauce was sweet to her but she has bad tastebuds anyway. The girl does not appreciate any sweet subtlety. As for me , I had the pumpkin pastries for dessert.The pumpkin pastries are simply excellent. The sticky glutinous outer layer were fried to a perfection and the color was very appealing. There wasn’t too much or too little stuffing and the red bean paste paired extremely welll. I haven’t had these since the small Chinese supermarket across from my house closed when I was in 7th grade - I’ve missed pumpkin red beam pastries and this brought back the nostalgia. It was like that scene in Ratatouille.I also want to praise the staff! Despite us coming in very late and there being no one else in the restaurant, we were situated very quickly. Very friendly. The owner or whoever it was at the front was extremely welcoming, he constantly offered us new seats/tables so that the atmosphere was better or that the wind wouldn’t blow into us when the door opened. His friendly demeanor and welcome made me feel warm in spite of the cold night outside. I was reminded of my grandpa, but he did not look that old. 很年轻！I’ve always believed that the cleanliness and care of a Chinese restaurant is reflected by the fish they have on display. Often, you see crowded tanks of dirty sad gray fish awaiting slaughter. This is supposed to ensure freshness, but oft the fish are already deceased in their tanks. The Alley has a beautiful decorative fish tank full of vibrantly colored fish of unknown specie. Very clean, well presented, and beautiful - just like the food and ambience which great care was placed in. My friend wanted to eat the fish like uncultured swine, but that just shows their delicate appeal.All in all, great place! Would recommend to anyone looking for quick service, good prices, clean and friendly atmosphere for a relaxing sit down meal.
Our family really enjoyed food here.... highly recommended
Wish I could judge them based on the food. Delivery order was canceled without apology or explanation 1hr 30mins after ordering. Not a great look.(Edit) It was a doordash order, and cancelled by the business not the platform. There was already a dasher at the restaurant waiting to pick up the order.
