One of best Sichuan restaurant
Can’t believe a small and an extremely dated restaurant in a basement in Flushing is actually one of the most tasty Chinese Sichuan restaurant in town.
The restaurant’s old chef from Sichuan cooking the best of his classic dishes like:
Sichuan Wontons, Mapo Tofu, Shrimps on Rice Cakes, Double Cooked Pork, and our favorite Tea Smoked Pork Cabbage Pot. A must order dish.
The restaurant is also famous for their variety of Hot Pot. The best treat for a cosy winter meal.
Dishes I tried:
Tea Smoked Pork Cabbage Pot
Our favorite. The chef’s specialist tea smoked fat but very slim cut’s pork boiled in a very delicate cabbage soup make this unbeatable dish makes you return to this restaurant again and again.
Sichuan Wontons
Fresh handmade wonton skin gives a amazingly chewy texture with extremely refine red oil sauce.
Mapo Tofu
Fresh homemade tofu is very firm and tender with the famous mapo sauce, not numb or too spicy but many layers of spices, which can satisfied every single pallet.
Double Cooked Pork
Used the same tea smoked pork fried with very fresh garlic green. The dish is very salted traditionally. Remember to order a light version that you can taste the tea smoked pork properly.

Fast food crowd
We went ippudo around 4 pm. to avoiding long cue and crowd.
The side room’s lighting was too bright, that we literally eat ramen in our own shadows, and we can see clearly the old furniture and very used floor. It looks like an old diner or cheap fast food restaurant. Then the light gets very dark and sleepy after evening hour, that we can’t barely see what we eat.
The soup base are rich and tasty. The classic ramen soup has a very healthy chicken and ginger taste. But the miso ramen soup is a bit too salty.
The Shishito was very nice with lime juice and salted white pepper, but got a strange taste.
I can’t say I’m a fan of ippudo’s noodle texture and find the noodle quantity is far from enough for guys. But they also have an option to order extra noodle for $2 to let client add in to the still hot soup.
And unfortunately. Many of the clients there were very loud. We really thought we were in a diner with fast food crowd.
Personals are nice, polite and fast.

Best brunch in town
This is our favorite usual place for weekend brunch.
Great vibe. Smiling friendly and speed waiters. Cool people and of course quality and tasty food.
We love the urban interior with subway tiles. Sunny at day time, cosy at night time. We specially love the family Weekend 10 am breakfast feelings.
Try the French toast with fresh fruits, Croque Monsieur, Benedict eggs, Eggs Norwegian, Schiller’s Steak, Key lime pie etc.
Dishes I tried:
French toast with fresh fruits
Very fresh toast and fruits. Syrup on toasted brioche with top quality cut in half grapes, strawberries and mulberries. Make each bite a satisfaction with health.
