This place, on the Corona-Jackson Heights border, serves Chinese and Latin American food. The Chinese-looking servers speak Spanish, as well as English. I suspect they speak Chinese too, but I'm not sure.I was here for lunch today (a Saturday) and ordered sesame chicken from the combination platters menu. It came with rice (I chose "mixed fried") and a choice of either fries, plantain or egg roll (I chose fries). I think the price was $13.25 but I'm not sure. I added a bottle of Coors Light for $3.50. The total with tax came to $18.25. I was served a complimentary basket of bread.The food was all very good. The platter is served with all of the food on one plate: rice on one side and chicken on the other, with fries dumped in the middle (on top). I would have preferred separation between dishes, but I can say that the portions were still generous. My sesame chicken was in a batter, kind of like mini-funnel cakes. The sesame sauce was a bit tart and gave the chicken great flavor.The interior is large and clean, with mostly booths, which is nice. It is kind of like a Chinese diner atmosphere. The walls and booths are in white and red, with red Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling. There were a lot of customers and the table talk drowned out the sound of the music that I could faintly hear being piped in.

This nicely decorated upscale Szechuan restaurant is really excellent. The colorful and unusual menu offers lots of choices, from soups and hot pots to stir fried dishes like rabbit and frog legs, and all manner of seafood, from crab and lobster to a delicious crispy fried sea bass, which we had. It was a good sized fish, wonderfully sauced with pork, garlic, and spices. The mapo tofu was exquisite, as good as anything in China, silky and full of Szechuan peppercorn for that unique tip of the tongue tingle. Yes, the food is spicy, but authentically so. One quibble is the priciness of the wine list. No glasses offered, and the one bottle of white wine listed was $60, a Grgich Hills Fume Blanc. FYI, no reservations for parties under 6, and the place is packed. PS, there is a St Marks Place branch of this restaurant in NYC.

This restaurant did not get a Michelin star but was written up as a "notable" destination. On closer examination they liked the main courses, and we went for Dim Sum. Very good variety of dim sum but really poor quality.One of the many tests of a place like this are the rice noodle dishes. At their best the noodle is soft and chewy and very thin. These were thick and doughy. Congee is another test of mine and this one was thin and watery and missing the many great ingredients associated with this dish. First congee I did not finish and I have a pretty wide latitude.The food was tired, and many of the dishes had been around too long before serving, although we arrived at 11AM as the appointed hour to get the freshest dishes. We had the custard tart desserts, and although the crust was flakey and good, the custard itself was not at its freshest.We did get good chrysanthemum tea by having Siri translate it into Mandarin.

chewy "cold skin" noodles are quite delicious and can also be ordered hot.the seasoning and texture is unique and that is why this chain of restaurantshas become so successful. Note that most locations of this chain of restaurants is no frills, self serve, and crowded. Many in food courts or basements. For an adventurous outing you can try several restaurants in the same food court and try one or two things at each one.

At Shanghai You Garden, they want you in and out as fast as possible. I'm okay with that. The more churn, the better the revenue, the better the business. That's especially true if your product is good. However, I can't say that the products (the food) are even good, which is why I was surprised at its popularity. Most of the dishes (small and large) were just mediocre.Hey, Tunaidi. We're sorry you had this impression of us. While we certainly care about making sure our customers are serviced efficiently, that doesn't mean we don't want them to feel relaxed and welcome, too. We'll take this feedback into account moving forward, and we hope you'll visit us again soon. All the best,Wong Chen, Manager

I had heard of Soup Dumplings, but never had the opportunity to experience them. A co-worker was in from out of town and we were working in Queens. He suggested this facility as he had been here years before. We shared an order of Soup Dumplings which were extraordinary for my first experience. We then shared a couple of entrees from the menu. Pleasant experience with nice staff, comfortable dining room and delicious food. I will return again with others.
