We came here with Mommy a while back. It was lunchtime. They had a line to enter the restaurant. Wow, that must be good. We ordered a whole Peking duck, pan-fried noodle seafood, sauteed pea leaves in garlic sauce, and fish filet with mushroom. I enjoyed the fish filet and sauteed pea leaves, which were the best dishes. Peking Duck was not bad and the seafood pan-fried noodle was so-so. However, Peking Duck was less crisp than the place I had in Chinatown. In short, everything was delightful! If we return, I really want to get that pea leaves again. This vegetable rock! Fish filets differed from what I had expected. One thing about Peking Duck is that they gave unlimited buns to eat with, but there wasn't much meat left because they filet the duck without leaving the bones for the customers. It's better to order a few filets of Peking duck rather than a whole duck. The place is a huge, two-floor restaurant. We had a table downstairs, which was pretty spacious from one table to the other. We'll return to try some other dishes and vegetables. Nice!

I walked in solo, on a quiet Wednesday for an early dinner, and was seated right away. I immediately ordered tea (only option is oolong), and peking duck. After being seated and ordering, I noticed the restaurant was cash only, so I ran over to chase to grab cash while waiting for the food to come, and the staff was really nice about me leaving. When I got back, I was greeted by the most beautiful spread awaiting to be devoured, and I enjoyed every sauce/every course. The half peking duck came with a set of pork soup dumplings, 3 sets of boa buns, duck & hoisin sauce, and veggies. The pork soup dumplings were porky, juicy & yummy. The duck was fatty, tender and delicious. And after my meal, they even brought a complimentary dumpling soup, which cleansed my pallet. Not only was the food delicious, the service was wonderful. Thank you Shanghai You Garden, when I'm in the area and want peking duck, I'll be back!

I think Shanghai You Garden's pork soup dumplings are overall the best soup dumplings in New York area. Fried pork dumplings are also good. They also do buy one get one free for the soup dumplings. Service is great. The staff are friendly and attentive. I never felt being ignored at Shanghai You Garden. I'll definitely revisit again.

This place is one of my go to~ their classic and crab meat xiao long bao are solid. We also tried their other flavors too which are all good but the spicy flavor one was just ok, they do offer spicy oil on the side so I feel like the classic with the condiment tasted better (it is also the most expensive flavor so not worth in my opinion). They also have very good pan fried buns that are crispy, juicy and filling. Their savory tofu is tasty too. If you are more adventurous they also have sticky tofu (both saucy and dry) but it's not everyone's cup of tea. The ambiance is more Chinese vibe but in a clean way. The servers are pleasant, some servers knows some English too so if you don't know Chinese you can always point on the pictures on the menu. My favorite part of coming here is if you order over $10 you can get a free basket of xiao long bao for the table or one serving of pecking duck/ person so it's is very affordable. They do only take cash though so make sure to come prepared ~

Fast paced, lives up to the hype for the duck boas. Fresh. The Sesame balls were big. ? they’re busy but quick with service. I ordered from the window. Cheap quick snack or lunch.

Honest to God great Chinese food at a good price. We visited Flushing on a whim a few days ago not really knowing what to expect in terms of Chinese food (I visited a few years ago but didn't really explore the food scene). That being said I checked the Yelp reviews of restaurants in the area and eventually we settled on Shanghai You Garden. At the time we visited, a little before 12, the restaurant was very full but we were still in mediately seated. Since the restaurant reviews all mentioned the Xiaolongbao, we ordered one order, along with shengjianbao, Shanghai chaomian, and fengzhua (chicken feet). We also ordered a few yangcongbing (scallion cakes) and sticky rice rolls for takeout. The pork xiaolongbao was probably some of the best I've had in NYC, but I was really surprised by the chaomian. The thick noodles gave the chaomian bite, and the tangy sauce really made it addicting to eat. The shengjianbao wad also a great pick. For all the above, including takeout, we paid around $60, which at current NYC inflated prices is a great deal. Shanghai You Garden is definitely a place worth visiting for Chinese food in Flushing.

AMAZING soup dumplings. Definitely try the variety option. The dishes are so good aswell. I go there atleast 1 per month and never get
The only restaurant I know that serves a free order of soup dumplings when you spend $10. They're also famous for their Peking duck bao's that they serve for $2.50. Both are a bang for your buck and a must try when you are in flushing. Their pan fried pork bun is also a must! Crispy on the bottom with such a juicy pork filling. It kind of has some soup in it when you bite into it. Service is fast just like most Chinese restaurants. Ambience has bright lighting with Asian decorations. There is a take out spot right outside to serve items to go like the Peking duck buns. 9/10 I do recommend
Came here with 2 other friends on a Saturday afternoon at around 4. The restaurant was surprisingly quite full for the hours that we went but we got seated right away regardless. We order a few things to share: sui mai, pan fried pork bun, pan fried chive dumplings, and rice cake with assorted meat. They gave a free order of soup dumplings when the order is over $10 and you're dinning in so we had soup dumplings as well. Overall, I think the food was okay. The rice cakes were a little doughy and the soup of the soup dumplings also tasted a little different from what I previously had from other restaurants and I think I preferred the ones from other restaurants more. In the middle of our meal, they also gave every table a free order of fermented glutinous rice dumplings, which is a dessert. It was too sweet for me but my friends enjoyed it. I was very excited to try this place but I think it was a bit overrated. The total of our meal was $50 after tips and tax, which I think was a very reasonable price given the amount of food that we had. Even though the food was only okay, with the price and all the free food that we got, I don't think I can complain much!

The food here is pretty good but the portion sizes are small and it is expensive. I would only come again to get the $5 duck bao but even that is kinda pricey.

THEY GIVE YOU A CHOICE OF A FREE ORDER OF EITHER PEKING DUCK IR PORK XIU LONG BAU IF U SPEND OVET $10!!!!
I like the huge portions at this place, it reminds me of the pre-inflation days of cheap Chinese food and large portions. While some dishes are good here, there are other dishes that is simply just better at Nan Xiang.
