We came on a very busy night. Only two tables left for us to choose with reservation, either the one next to the bathroom or the one near the front door with cold draft. We ordered 6 dishes for five people. In order of my favorite were the beef with scallions, slice pork with vegetables, fatty beef with mushroom casserole, baked chicken with salt, and the lamb casserole. The lamb needed to be cooked longer. This is a no nonsense Cantonese restaurant so expect minimal decor with authentic Cantonese cooking.
Love, Love, Love this place been going for many years (at least 25) foods is consistently delicious, our favorite is Fried Whole Flounder with ginger sauce , Duck feet with pepper, Squid with black pepper Peking Pork chops (side sauce) stirred fried snow peas tips (Don't miss) It's get very busy on weekends so go early
I didn't intend to come back after such a bad experience last time but I brought my mom out to have dinner and the restaurant I was planning on taking her was closed for no apparent reason. I didn't have many options since my mom only likes Cantonese food and this was the only place close by.. We ordered jumbo shrimp with walnuts, beef with vegetables, sliced chicken with straw mushrooms and young chow fried rice. Two dishes were asked to be made with less salt which they had no issues. The service was great, the food was actually fresh. Even the broccoli was cooked nicely. My mom actually ate a good portion this time and she took the leftover chicken home with her. My family and I have been coming here since it first opened...20 yrs ago. My relatives still come here since they live close by.. We came back yesterday to pick up Peking pork chop, beef pan fried noodles, beef and broccoli, beef with bitter melon rice plate and young chow fried rice. My mom ate well. Everything was tasted fresh.. Good portions. Pork chop was crispy even after walking over to my mom's house in the cold. Was so good.. I ate it without the sauce.
Pretty good place for chinese food when you have a large party. My favorite dishes are the three color egg and the walnut shrimp with mayo (the sauce is really good). The soup is a little like congee. The white meat in chicken is a little dry. My least favorite is the fried rice.
The best place for Chinese comfort food, a hidden gem I have enjoyed for so many years! It's great for dinner, make sure you bring cash. For 4 adults and 4 kids 5 and under, we spent $160 including tip. Forgot to take pics, we jumped into eating right away because we were so hungry that day. We ordered the T-bone steak, Walnut shrimp, beef chow fun with gravy, mushroom noodle, Peking pork chop, and Crispy garlic chicken. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend Queens Seafood Restaurant to all my family & friends! 2 thumbs up
I went to this Cantonese restaurant also known as Queens High Pearl with one of my groups albeit larger as a holiday and end of the year celebration. The runner of the event had been here prior and we ordered several dishes including some from the specials menu that are only in Chinese. As that is the case, I don't know the exact names or prices for some of the dishes. Overall I liked the food and there were definitely some standouts. I actually preferred the non seafood dishes in general but it's also might be because I tend to prefer meat dishes when it comes to Cantonese food. The first dish that arrived was the Cantonese Style Lobster/蔥薑龍蝦 (AKA lobster with scallions/ginger) and it was pretty good. I kind of prefer lobster in other Chinese styles as I'm not a huge fan of cornstarch especially it has kind of needs to be picked up. The lobsters were reasonably sized and there was a pretty good amount of meat. Outside of this dish, there were a few other seafood and shellfish dishes. As I have an allergy, I didn't try the Stir Fry Squid Head With Greens (outside of the greens which had a nice brown sauce) or the Deep Fried Squid. I likewise avoided the squid and octopus from the Assorted Seafood Pot but it was a nice mix of seafood from the fish to the scallops to everything else in there though as normal for most Cantonese food on the slightly bland end. The Scallion Beef Stir Fry/葱爆牛肉 might have been my favorite dish. The beef was cut then and had enough fat to be very tender and rich which was balanced by the scallions. The Stir Fry Noodle With Fish and Chives/白飯魚小炒 was tasty. I liked the noodle texture a lot and the chives had a wonderful freshness. I also liked the Chinese Cauliflower With Preserved Meat (which consisted of lap cheong/Chinese sausage and lap yuk/Chinese bacon.) There was a plentiful amount of said pork and the cauliflower had a nice texture. It was perhaps a little bit salty but I still very much enjoyed it. Last and more mid was the Peking Pork Chops/京都排骨. The dish wasn't as sweet as some other spots which was a good thing but there was a bit too many bony pieces. I preferred the version for instance at Wu's Wonton as the fry was better also. There was also oddly some pineapple on the plate as well. They gave us some fresh tasty orange slices at the end. The food overall here was pretty good. My rating is more based on the fact of this is Cantonese food and that comes with a little bit of blandness. The meatier dishes were quite tasty and the staff was friendly. Mid 3.
Dinner with the family. The space isn't the most polished but the food is actually very good and prices are very reasonable for someone used to Manhattan and Flushing Main Street prices. Fish and lobster dishes are standouts. Live fish was a relative bargain so definitely consider it. The chicken also won praise for actually tasting like chicken (a bit of a running joke for the family). Service is friendly with typical Canto banter.
I've been coming here for more than 15 years and this place is the most delicious and authentic Cantonese food in town. I hear rumors that they're closing later this year because the owner is getting old and that makes me so sad because the food here is a staple. When I'm far from good Chinese food I find myself craving this place and my Chinese family always comes here when we've been on a long trip away from Chinese food. Jellyfish appetizer is a must - crunchy, sweet, chewy jellyfish with plenty of Chinese ham slices. Tie Ban XI Zo Gai Pian or Sizzling Chicken Platter with black bean sauce is a winner esp if you dine in. The pic here doesn't do it justice but trust me GET THIS! Onions and mushrooms so be aware. I love both I know those two are common dislikes. So so good, salty and tender slices of chicken in a fragrant salty, umami and sweet black bean sauce Fish and Tofu dish is now another favorite after discovering it recently the tender giant pieces of fish and the soft, nicely stewed chunks of tofu. Wow. What a bang for your buck! Black Pepper Scallops are so good they've got a nice starchy coating on them rich with black pepper to give it that nice punchy pepper flavor before you get this salty sweet glaze and then tender, tender scallop underneath it all. Writing this review makes me want to go back asap. Get your taste buds through the door before this place shuts its doors !
Have been coming to Queens Seafood Restaurant for the longest time. Usually order take out from this establishment on a consistent regular basis. It's authentic Cantonese Cuisine here. Everyone should definitely try out this place once in their lifetime. Best thing is to dine at the restaurant for the sheer experience with family and friends. No comparison with the portions you get versus a take out. Here are my favorites- -Pan Fried noodles- Tried Shrimp, Beef and Chicken. They all and this is my go to comfort food. -Beef lo Mein -Singapore Mai Fun- Need that curry spice kick once in a while. If you do not care for curry or spice go for Amoy Mai Fun Rice plates are good too- Usually go for the Beef with Bitter Melon or Chop Suey which is packed with an array of seafood. -Young Chow Fried Rice -Pork Chop with Chili and Spiced Salt -Fresh Squid with Chili and Spiced Salt -Eight Treasure Bean Curd Casserole Always support your local eateries and establishments.
