A. Real nice Chinese Shanghai style restaurant. It serves many of the familiar Shanghai style dishes, such as xiaolongbao, etc. But, it also serves many of the western familiar dishes such as Beijing duck and fried rice. Overall, this restaurant serves real authentic tastes and dishes.

For some great Shanghainese food in Bayside, this is the place. I prefer this location to the Flushing location. This staff is very friendly and not rushing you on the way out. Seating is reasonable, but I’d say going with 2-8 ppl max. To try the most dishes, go with 4-8 ppl family style.
The food was great. The soup dumplings currently come complimentary if you spend more than $10, which is a nice plus. The duck bun is great, I’d definitely suggest at least trying one if you never had it before 10 out of 10. The pickled/ cold veggies here are amazing. The turnip pastry and turnip cake were also worth it.
Cash / Venmo only

Hands down the best soup dumplings in the area. The scallion pancakes are also out of this world and every time we must order the cucumber salad. Best bang for your back and always a great service!

If you like Shanghai style dim sum and snacks, this is one of the best restaurants around Queens for those. You don't need to travel to China for the closely authentic food. We loved the tiaotou cake, soup dumplings (original flavor is the best), crab meat soup dumplings, three-yellow sanhuang Chicken, Peking Duck, fried Bao (shengjian Bao), and scallion pancake. The food here is one-notch down from the You Garden in Flushing (40th St near Main St.) Service is pretty good as the 40th location. But easier parking and more spacious and newer cleaner dining area at Bell Blvd made up for the downsides. They only take cash, Venmo or Zelle.

The food quality is excellent and stable. My personal favorites are fried bean gluten, port & vegetable wonton, and Peking duck.
Service is also good. They are always nice and will suggest the proper portion when you order.

New fave spot for dim sum dinner! So friggin good! Staff is super efficient and nice, the host is hilarious. The house made hot chili oil sauce they have at the table is BANGIN!! Wish they sold it by the jar, I would definitely buy it!
Absolutely love it here and love the free soup dumplings they give with every table order over $10. Who doesn't love a free order of soup dumplings?! The Peking duck buns are yum too, get some! Turnip cake and scallion pancake are a most, the salted tofu pudding is good as is the pork & vegetable wonton in chili oil w peanut sauce (YUM). Run here and wear stretchy pants. Plus love the low prices cuz you get a shock at the end of dinner of how stuffed you are and what a great deal it all is.

The atmosphere of this location is much better than the one in Flushing. This location also offers a free order of steamed pork bun per table and is quite tasty. The Salty Tofu Pudding bowl is only lukewarm which is disappointing. All other dishes are tasty but on the greasy side.

This was our first time dining here. We came on a weekday and were promptly seated. Weekends do get crowded...we waited 20 minutes for a party of 4. The restaurant was so good that we came twice that week. They give you a pager and a menu so that when you sit down you are ready to order and go!
The staff was attentive and helpful with menu recommendations.
The skin of the dumplings were of a nice thin consistency, not too thin where the baos explode upon lifting them up. There was a decent amount of soup inside and the broth was flavorful! The scallion pancakes were delicious. All of the food was served fast, fresh, and hot!
I really enjoyed my dining experience here... I loved the mix of the old school Chinese restaurant decor intertwined with the modern wine display. I definitely recommend this place and will come back!

Make sure to bring CASH!
If you get $10 worth of food for dine-in, you can either get free order of pork soup dumplings or Peking duck baos equal to the number of people in your party.
Delicious soup dumplings and very authentic Shanghai dishes.
Overall, great food and great service!

Best Xiao Long Bao I had! If you are craving for soup dumpling this is the best place to go! The place will satisfy all your chinese food cravings! Plus if you dine in and spend $10 or more you get either 1 piece of peking duck on a bun or 1 order of steamed pork bun.
Location: It is located on Bayside. There is street parking and public parking nearby. The interior is nice with a lot of seating. They have plastic divider for covid purposes.
Service: The servers are nice, they gave you good recommendations. A little bit busy as usual, but they try their best to accommodate! Only thing is that they took away your plate once they saw it is empty, as if they are rushing you.
Food: All that we ordered was delicious, we couldn't finish everything so we took it home. LUCKY SIX SOUP DUMPLING: a must! You can taste all the flavors of all their dumplings! SCALION PANCAKE with SLICED BEEF: this is good as well. The pancake and beef is well seasoned! It looked like a sandwich to me. LOL. PAN FRIED PORK BUN: this is my favorite, the pork inside is so delicious and the bun is so soft. PEKING DUCK on a BUN: the peking duck was roasted and very tasty and the bun is soft, I ate 2 of this! SHANGHAI PAN FRIED UDON NOODLES: the noodles are freshly made and sauce is not to salty. YANGZHOU FRIED RICE: the rice is cooked well and it has a lot of seafoods on it.
Price rating: 7/10, it was not that bad for the price. The food was great.
Will definitely come back here if I am in Bayside and if I am craving Chinese food! Get the Pan Fried Pork bun and the Peking duck for sure!

I really wanted to try Peking duck and my aunt recommend me this place, so I went there. They welcome us with tea, that came with a bit of ginger on the side. The menu has picture in it so is easier to choose. Everything looked tasty. After we order, they serve it us food in less than 10 min. The food was excellent, I loved the Peking duck and the soup dumpling. It was may first time eating it. I would love to come again and try new dishes. The price was fair, it was lots of food.
One last comment is that the bathroom was really clean and it smelled good.

We go there very often. Overall, the food and service are acceptable, and it is certainly better than many other Chinese restaurants in the area. I would give this place 3.7/5 stars. The steamed buns are always good to have. Most of the dishes are very good. Service is fast, and staff are nice too. Will go back again.

Forgot to take more pics. Food came out hot and we ordered turnip cakes, soup dumplings, salted sticky rice roll and salted tofu pudding. Everything tasted freshly made and delicious. The soup dumpling was free because they run a special if you order anything, you can get soup dumplings or peking duck bun for free.

One of the best soup dumplings in Bayside. But the menu boasts many more entrees and side dishes worth attention and a taste. This visit, I came with two friends that have never had Shanghai cuisine family style let alone tasting anything else besides soup dumplings so my plan on ordering was to showcase a tasting of items across the menu.
The classic pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) was a must try as well as the steamed shrimp dumplings. For appetizers, we were given au gratis one Peking duck bun per person as a dine-in bonus. (We could've picked soup dumplings but I was ordering them anyway).
The cucumber salad was a hit. Refreshing given what we ate throughout the evening. Stand out favorites: the scallion pancake with sliced beef, sweet and sticky spare ribs, Grandma style braised pork (served in a whimsical porcelain piggy display), and the pork and vegetable wonton in chili oil and peanut sauce.
The favorite entree of the night was the sauteed slice fish in rice wine sauce. While we ate plenty, dish after dish was served altogether. Everything was delicious. My only comment with the inside dining, the air conditioning was on full blast and it not only made us cold, it made our food cold pretty quickly as well. Not good as the food should've remained hot to warm for optimal tasting.

I went for the first time today and had a wonderful time. I didn't really know what to expect as the front of the restaurant is somewhat gaudy but inside was actually really nice. Very clean and tables were widely spaced apart. I really appreciated that the chopsticks had the disposable attachments instead of the full wooden chopsticks you get at other restaurants. The food was very reasonably priced. If you order more than ten dollars of food you get a free order of soup dumplings. I recommend getting the Peking duck sandwiches which were really delicious. And I loved the sauteed spinach with garlic. They also have some really tasty noodle dishes. The staff were very attentive and food comes to the table fast but they don't rush you out. We lingered for a while after eating. But beware, they only take cash. Hopefully they'll change that soon.

This was an enormously pleasant surprise while I was working on a project in New York! I was just looking for a spot while walking on Bell Blvd, and You Garden caught my eye. The dining room was nice and clean, and the staff was very welcoming. The menu is extensive, and is filled with dishes I had not tried, or in some cases, even heard of, but the descriptions were excellent and pictures accompanied most. The soup dumplings are just fantastic, and I probably could have made a meal of them, but chose to order 2 entrees because I couldn't decide. Everything was so delicious I ate there 3 more times that week, and made it a 'go to' during all of my return trips. I can't say enough about the experience, it is truly a hidden gem!
