Shanghai You Garden

Been coming here for a while now and it's still probably my favourite dimsum restaurant in NYC so far. Came as a group of 3 cuz many of their dimsum come in 3s or 6s, so it makes for easy sharing Started off with an order of their spicy pork Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and the crab meat xlb. Filled with a good amount of broth, flavorful filling, and the dumplings don't tear easily when you try to lift them out of the baskets. Had some classics like scallion pancakes, shrimp & chive crystal dumplings, turnip cake, and cha siu bao (BBQ pork steamed buns) Finished off with the sweet potato mochi with salted egg filling which was the only one that I felt didn't hit as strongly as the other dishes. The flavor was great. But the mochi itself was a bit lacking in texture, most likely due to unlucky timing with when we came to eat and when the last batch was made. They provide a Peking duck bun for everyone as a dine-in bonus, and we got the an order of sweet glutinous rice cakes on the house, which was a really nice treat! The service is quick and attentive. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the spot is a little cramped to move around in and it can be a bit with occasional radio chatter from the service staff.

Read about this place in some blogs and social media posts about "best places in Flushing". It didn't disappoint, although I think they toned down some of the spices in our dishes. Scallion pancake with beef was a real surprise hit. Chicken feet were good, but lacking some punch. Cucumber salad was very refreshing, and the beef ribs very delicious although not hot and spicy as promised.

This is a MUST for dim sum lovers! Such an amazing find. Highly recommend the beef rice rolls and the shrimp dumplings. The food is all hand made and authentic, you get delicious freebies and it’s so reasonably priced. This isn’t a restaurant to spend a few hours dining, it’s a quick sit and eat place with a busy bustling atmosphere.

Shanghainese as myself, I have to say it's very rare to find authentic Shanghai food around US. My friends recommended this place earlier and I can't believe I come in so late. If you only order authentic dish, you will have a great time. Some stuff are localized unfortunately which I won't order. Especially some colorful soup dumpling.

saw this popular restaurant on social media and had to try it. came for dinner for 2, the service was quick! we ordered the chicken with rice, soup dumplings and their famous peking duck buns. a nice casual dinner spot with friends, the food was nothing too spectacular. but glad we got to try! just fyi it’s cash only, but they also accept venmo and zelle.

After discovering this place, I will never spend an hour waiting for table at Nan Xiang anymore. Your mouth is ready to water over every dish here. They offer attractive dine-in promotion: If you spend over $10, you can enjoy Pork Soup Dumplings/Peking Duck Bun for free‼️ They also serve free Fermented Glutinous Rice Dumpling (酒釀丸子), which is a kind of sweet and mild-alcoholic dessert soup. ＊ Fried Bean Gluten 烤麩 ** You can never go wrong with this cold appetizer at any Shanghainese restaurant. ＊ Pan Fried Pork Bun 上海生煎包 ** My fav among all. The juicy ground pork was wrapped with a fluffy bun with a golden crispy bottom. They also spread some black sesame and chopped scallion on top, which further enhanced the complexity of flavors. ＊ Pork Soup Dumpling 豫園小籠包 Arrived fresh out of the bamboo basket. Even though we got it for free, the taste and servings were still satisfactory. The wrapper was pretty thick, but the dumplings were enclosed with delicious broth and meat fillings. ＊ Pan Fried Chives & Shrimp Dumplings 韭菜鮮蝦煎餃 ** Inside the crispy and chewy wrapper, they were filled with hearty shrimps and chives! ＊ Pork Vegetable Wonton in Chilli Oil & Peanut Sauce 紅油抄手 The biggest Sichuan wontons I’ve ever seen! It was also my first time enjoying it with peanut butter sauce. What a pity that their chilli oil wasn’t spicy at all. ＊ Sweet Soy Bean Milk 甜豆漿 Skip: ＊ Braised Fish 燻魚 Too many fish bones. ＊ Deep Fried Sesame Ball 芝麻球 Nth impressive. Just an ordinary fried sesame ball with red bean lotus filling. Their service was prompt and welcoming. Our food came piping hot within 10 mins after we ordered, except the pan fried pork bun which took a bit longer. Our server was so humorous lol his dad jokes made our day.

Fabulous food and speedy service, personal favorites were shrimp changfen and crispy pork, the rest of the table loved the crab and pork dumplings. Soup dumplings were juicy and delicious aswell, first time trying jellyfish and had no problems. Lovely texture! The service was polite and you don't expect any extra frills or overflowing warmth with dim sum service anyway. It was 👍 I'd come again and recommend wholeheartedly, only thing I regret was not ordering the turnip cake!

The food was great. We enjoyed it all. The duck was perfectly crispy and chewy. Sesame chicken was so tasty, and gripped the white rice. And the beef lo Mein was easily slurped and chewed delicately letting go of it’s flavors. The serving was May have been off par mainly because they said they were short so that’s understandable. Overall it was great.
