After having takeout here for a while, I decided to sit down and get some soup dumplings after craving them. The service was prompt and courteous while the food was good, though limited in what we got. I plan on returning to taste the other dishes and offerings. The decor is alright and the tea cups are stained and worn, but clean and it is a cozy place. I will visit again to see what else the menu has to offer. The prices are relatively higher but the quality of the food is good enough to forgive the higher prices.

Personally, I always enjoy eating here with my partner’s family. The service is always top notch and the food is really tasty. I personally find their soup dumplings and Peking Duck to be phenomenal. But seriously, nearly every dish I’ve tasted here has been pretty good.

Ok not as good as others place. The beef noodle soup was no favor at all and if you see the picture it like jus veg, noodle and few pieces of beef. No scallions, no Chinese pickles just plain out right tasteless. The Kai fu was ok but something was missing not sure what’s it is. Anyway was just passing through this town and it was disappointing. No i will not be back.

If you're looking for a legitimate, though somewhat small, sit down Chinese restaurant in Williston Park, this is the place to go. This place had all tables filled by 1PM. The place only opened at noon! The food is authentic, flavourful, and down right fantastic. Nothing was overly greasy, or salty, which tends to happen in some Chinese restaurants. Food was prepared fresh, and was generous. Pricing is on par with other Chinese restaurants based on LI. Staff was attentive with taking orders, clearing plates, and getting me the check quickly. Overall I'm excited about the place and would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. Please see my pictures for the items I ate today. Not pictured was the scallion pancake. Made fresh, not oily, but was too hungry, and started eating it before picture was taken. *** Updated 6/2023 *** I've been back to the restaurant a number of times since my last review and the food is still fantastic. Service is still great too and I've got no complaints! Still definitely worth checking out if you have not done so already.

Update: Tried this place again and food is now perfectly flavored and just right amount of salt and spices. They are very accomodating and good about allergies if you inform them and will be very careful. Changed my review (below) from 4 stars to 5 stars. No wait to get a table for excellent food just like in flushing or little neck. Very reasonable prices too. Place has nice ambiance w oriental music in background. Will def be back. Old review: If you like Chinese food that is a bit on the salty side, this is the place for you. The food is pretty authentic and select dishes I've had are pretty tasty. One of the most attractive part of this restaurant is that if you order anything more than $11 you get free soup dumplings! Now that is a good deal! I had the braised pork with preserved vegetables and it was delicious and Well Done compared to other Chinese restaurants. The additional cost of $1.50 for brown rice is pretty standard and definitely recommended to go with some of these salty food items this restaurant tends to Produce. This place is perfect if you need lots of sodium and help drinking lot of fluids after a good workout because you are going to be thirsty for the next few hours and allow you to hydrate.lol
