Unique style of thick noodles. The aignage recommends you choose at least some chilli, and that you dine in, as the noodles don't survive transport well. They have clear screens into the kitchen, so you can watch you noodles stretched to order. A few menu items were out of stock but this was not marked on the board, disappointed customers were just told upon ordering. This store is open surprisingly short hours, just lunch times.

As always, cumin lamb with hand ripped noodles is excellent. This location is in an industrial area surrounded by auto body shops.

So freaking delicious! I go at least once a week. The one thing that sucks is location. Hard to find parking in the area so I always double park. Make sure to order ahead as there are only two cooks here and dumplings take about 20 minutes .

Delicious food, gracious & quick, competent service. This location is obviously a lunch spot with maybe four seats, but it was great to test out here. I look forward to visiting their other locations and trying menu items specific to each location.

If you dont want to deal with crazy Flushing traffic (both people and cars lol), this is your place. The staff here are very polite. Food is great and timely. You can see them making your food here vs Flushing where its delivered via dumbwaiter elevator from a different kitchen. I guess if there is a con, it would be that dining seat is very limited (think hole in a wall) and although parking space may be limited, its still far better than Flushing. Lastly, this place is very clean. No funky smell you normally get when you go in a Chinese food takeout joint. Everything is just clean, which makes me trust that they take food sanitation seriously.

Tried this for the first time after I saw it on "Insider" It was worth it. I love it since it's spicy and I like eating spicy food. I only tried the regular spiciness as I was worried if it was too much but It was fine (at least for me).

One of my favorite restaurants. I love the spicy authentic Chinese food, especially the lamb dish. Also always wanted to try their fish but haven’t done it yet. I saw that all the other locations said “permanently closed” and got really sad. I read it was because the CEO didn’t want to put their employees at risk so they didn’t deliver during the pandemic. Then I looked on their website and saw that some of their stores will begin to open back up again. Really happy about that! I really hope they can all open back up. In the meantime, I will buy from this location and buy some chili oil to support them.

Awesome! I had been to one of the Manhattan locations a few months back and loved it, so wanted to try another of their stores in the outer boroughs. Unfortunately this one doesn't have the most convenient hours unless you work in the area (closed on weekends, closes early during the week). But because of its location it sees much less traffic and you get a more intimate experience. Had an excellent momo and the spicy lamb noodles. Tons of other options on the menu. Would definitely recommend
