Alley 41

Kind of hidden restaurant on a street with many authentic Chinese flavors. The mapo tofu was ok but I didn't really taste any pork in it. It they were there, I couldn't see it. More like tofu and the chilli sauce. The shrimp fried rice was fluffy and tasty although I needed brisk ice tea to finish the meal. Overall decent but pricey. Need to try more dishes

Authentic Chinese spot, one of the best we’ve had! Great balance of flavor and spice that’s not overpowering. Food comes out in a flash! Chicken dumplings, flounder filet in spicy garlic sauce, spicy beef and spicy eggplant were great standouts! Chicken in green sauce was underwhelming. House fried rice was unique and tasty!

Went on a little tour of flushing and chanced upon this place. We ordered quite a fair bit to try and share. Everything was executed well with the highlight being the Chengdu noodles. I loved how it was handmade, giving a unique and coarse-like texture. Paired with the sweet sauce, the spicy tanginess left me wanting more after each bite.

Food was great except a little too spicy for me but you can request it for little spicy. The portions have gotten bigger since the last time we came. The service was good but the only mishap was the long time for the tea refill but everything was fine. The decor was pretty minimalistic but nice, typical Chinese restaurant.

The signature Fresh Chicken with Green Peppers lets you taste the difference of farm-raised birds. The aromatic Tea Smoked Duck is worth it for the camphor-tea smokiness alone. I shamelessly attacked the sweet, tingling Crispy Crabs with Dried Red Peppers with my fingers. Comforting sides like the stretchy Pumpkin Pancake provided perfect counterpoints to the robustly flavored mains. If you've been sleeping on this regional Chinese jewel, make a beeline for Alley 41 immediately - just prepare to kick yourself for not going sooner!
