The popcorn chicken noodles are amazing. I’ve ordered them three times this week. Delivery is fast and dependable. Happy to have this place in the neighborhood.

The food is good. The dinner box is my regular go item. My main problem is that the delivery man never carries change and assumes he can just take what’s leftover. Give change and be professional.

It was probably the worst experience I had ever with. Waiter, whose name is Kevin, always show his bloody cold poker face to customer. Average quality of food with piss face conceited service, I promise I will never come back again.

Ordered the vegetable pad thai and popcorn chicken rice box — both were very disappointing. The pad thai had no flavor, and the popcorn chicken was soggy. The delivery was quick, but the delivery person basically threw the bag at me and didn’t say a word. Definitely would not order again.

Not bad. stopped in for some hot pot because we were too lazy to go to Chinatown or Flushing.
There was only one person working and we were the only table in the restaurant. Service was so-​so.
We all went with the Spicy Tom Yum broth. Pretty good, not too spicy. We ordered one meat combo and decided to get everything else a la carte. Love how the pots are individual just for you. ya know, because everyone’s cooking style is different.
Sauce options aren’t the best, but it was better than nothing. It was self serve in the back of the restaurant.
Overall, we had a decent experience. This wouldn’t be my first choice but its good if you live in Astoria and are too lazy to go further for better options.

Horrible place to get delivery from. It was 40mins late. The bubble tea came without a straw. I specifically said no corn in my soup but there’s still corn. The food is mediocre not worth the price and the hassle. Though the grapefruit juice saved it a bit because I’m sick.

Food doesn’t seem so fresh and the entire place is run by one individual. Bubble tea was good though. Just wouldn’t come back for the hot pot. Sauces were kinda at a bare minimum.

I wanted to love this place — it’s so close to me and they are one of the very few (if not the only) in the area that serves shabu shabu /​hot pot. However, after eating there, I was violently throwing up the next morning. Given that this place is not a true restaurant (do they even have a kitchen?!), I suspect they don’t take the proper sanitation procedures.
At any rate, I will not be returning and would like to caution everyone about the hot pot. The servers are nice and bubble tea is not bad for the neighborhood, so maybe stick to the tea?

Totally a disaster ordering from this place. This is the second time they got my address wrong and waited for an hour and half for my order and it’s not even here yet. The guy working there doesn’t care at all. Never going there again!!!

I had the seafood, includes snow crab legs, clams, mussels, hotpot with clear broth. It also includes vermicelli, enoki mushrooms, corn, napa, bok choy. The food is pretty good. I was full with the portion for the meal. The meal comes with free bubble tea (or drink of choice). The bubble tea is very good also. There appears to be a lot of take-​out. I’ll have to try the other items on the menu. It is great that this restaurant is in the area for when you get a craving for the hotpot soup on a cold day.

don’t listen to the haters. it’s a decent spot for shabu on a cold day. they’re worth a try! i will be honest: this is not a fine dining restaurant. there’s definitely room for improvement given there’s only one server for the entire place. ive dined here on 3 occasions and the food is fresh! for the amount you pay (around $ 15 per person), it’s a good amount of food. i have tried their seafood, beef, and dumpling sets in the past. each set comes with an assortment of greens: enoki mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, etc. regardless which set you choose, id recommend the pork bone broth. don’t forget to mix your sauces to your liking to go along with your hot pot! please keep this place in business, they really have the best bubble tea and asian tea selection in town. the boy that works there works hard. warm up with their shabu shabu, winter is fast approaching!

Where do I start?
Of course, I will be honest. They have great bubble teas– no question about that. But, so do other places in the neighborhood. Their food is absolutely terrible. And, the worst part? Their service is a disaster. Two drink orders usually takes an average of an hour and half to two hours. I don’t get it. The place gets the order wrong every time and when you call you get this sleepy, nonsensical guy on the other line that could care less about the time spent waiting for your order or the eff ups that happen every time. You might have good bubble teas but it’s not enough to help you survive, wake up and try giving a shit… just a little. Assuming this business is your livelihood.
Never going there again and I will make sure not to keep my honest opinion to myself.

A good bubble tea spot! I haven’t eaten here so my review is based on the bubble tea. I ordered a black tea with bubbles. Bubbles are not too soft or too hard (which is super key to good bubble tea)! Will definitely come here for my boba fix in the future.

OK people who gave 4 or 5 stars for hot pot. You are either frds of the business or you hv never visited real hot pot restaurants in flushing, bklyn or ctown.
Drinks would deserve more stars but drinks all hv a pre made recipe and it’s full of sugars, can’t go wrong with that.
Hot pot: who are your customers? People who hv been exposed to hot pots in the 3 Chinatowns would never visit a second time. Your sauces and scallions are lacking, beef way too thick for hotpot. Veggys are so skimpy. Same price in other places would get you ayce, fresher & abundance in qty.
Store more like a bubble tea set up, café like. Does not feel like a restaurant but you are a restaurant. There’s a major identity crisis here.
Im sorry but I will never visit again, feel so ripped and unsatisfied.

Good Taro milk tea! They are very generous with the bubbles and very friendly.
The place was empty but it seemed like they were doing tons of take-​out.

Awesome. Got the combo and split it with my wife. Great value we loved it!
The combo is varied and delicious, will be five star if they ever serve beer and wine.

We really like this place. The people who run it are so sweet and the food is pretty good.
Disclaimer: I’ve never eaten the meat here, only ordered vegetables and the veggies dumplings.
Second disclaimer: The soup is not vegan or vegetarian, it’s made with chicken stock I think.
But it’s delish!
