Beijing Dumpling — Restaurant in New York

I drive by this place a lot and knew it was going to be a bit divey, which I can appreciate. I was pumped to see how cheap everything was because there were a lot of things I wanted to try and usually wouldn't have ordered so many dishes, but did here because, again, so cheap. Ultimately, I don't think it can be classified beyond divey and none of the dishes were really anything I would order again or would entice me to bring me back.

Ordered 5 things (again, cheap!): Boiled wonton dumplings with spicy sauce: really just meh. Maybe spoiled because the location is so close to so many better options in Flushing. Structurally fell apart. When you look at them, they look like they'll have a ton of flavor (mostly because of the spicy sauce), but it really was rather mid. I was most excited for this and was disappointed. I was pleased to have been offered dumpling sauce for free when I picked up, but...alas could not add much. Dan dan noodle: It pains me to have had to pay $1.80 to make this dish spicy, but I can't imagine having eaten this without this upgrade. The noodles were fine but the spicy option is the way to go. Beef noodle soup: Spent $0.90 on the hot oil upgrade and this really couldn't save this. The beef was very limited and the noodles did not hold up well with the soup. It also is super strange to me that this dish was served without soup spoons. Sesame pancake sandwich with pork: I am never going to turn away a sesame sandwich-type dish, and we actually ended up throwing probably half of this away. There really was just no flavor, the sesame sandwich aspect was a bit tough to eat. Maybe it needed a dipping sauce? It's bigger than I thought it would be, which maybe is it's only saving grace? Pork & Cabbage bun: I couldn't resist ordering a bun but the many reviews detailing how little the filling is are correct. Much cheaper options in Flushing for better quality.

If you're really in a pinch for takeout, it's probably an okay place to try as it is easy to park near and the pick-up was easy. But you very much need to have appropriate...

I am giving this place about... 100 stars! What a small hidden gem of a place only to find a sweet treasure of awesome food!!

This review is ONLY for the take out portion because of new covid restrictions. Although seats are available for eating in, we only tried the carry outs... and it was an unbelievable experience.

First off, this is known for the fried dumplings. The results of bringing it home and still being in excellent form, and hot condition - was mind blowing. Usually if food is brought home, it's rare to not be soggy and already cold by then. So depends on the type of food and how it's packaged during transporting, it all makes a difference in the outcome. In any case, the dumplings worked out very well. It was crunchy on the edges and moist inside, so that was a nice turn out! Second, the other items consist of the beef noodle soup. The soup was hearty and very well made - delicious in all ways. To save the best for last, the star of the whole menu show was really the wontons with the spicy sauce and garnished with cilantro. AMAZING! That was the winner because after the initial try, we went back again, and it was for larger gatherings. It became the star dish, and was immediately devoured. (If you see the yelp photos, there are tons of them there.) Do not miss out on the wontons with the...

First of all, the food is incredible, like fantastically incredible. The problem is I've had a few problems with bad service there. Nobody is rude at all, but I've had some unusual and cringe moments that were their fault (like forgetting to charge me for an item then asking me for more money after I already paid). They also have never given me a good bubble tea. I went back for that specifically three times just to make sure and every time it was actually terrible like they legit did something wrong. But the food like the soups and noodles and dumplings are insane good. So good you have to go back to them sometimes. Because of the problems I don't go back as much as I could but seriously the food is such a draw that I'll...
