Spring Fish Village

Best MaPo Tofu in Flushing, enough said. This place is so unassuming yet it serves a tasty blend of NE Chinese and Szechuan cuisine. The spice level is right on, not too spicy to the level it over overshadows the main ingredients. The lamb is so tender you wonder what they did to it before putting it in the wok. The MaLaTang is a major surprise as well, better than every other MLT place in flushing, including LaoMa and these wanna-​be stalls in the food courts. Taking off one star only for the fact that they charge $ for rice. Downed 3 bowls of rice with their delicious Mapo Tofu, so got charged $ 3 extra. Just FYI.

Waiting for 20 mins, so that the own can kick us out for some weird reservation reason. What the hell, they could told us when we arrived. But they cannot, because they just had this so call reservation mins before we can take our table. Very nice. Seeing our business going to be so successful by pissing off customer in front of that many clients.

Kicked four of us out because there is a group of 8 came after us. The owner did not even look at us when made some bs about the seats were taken. We were there for 20 mins, she did not even spit a word about reservation. The waitress was nice enough to let us wait outside for another 30 mins. Bad business conduct, not fair to small group of people. Not recommend to people in 20,30’s.

This restaurant is very recommended! I like very good authentic dishes. Love spicy fish! I noticed that many Chinese customers there every night. They don’t post comments on this Unilocal.That’s why I am telling you how great this restaurant is.

More 3.5 stars. Came here on a weekday night and this place had a few tables already
Ordered the house special fish filet, shrimp malatang, and the fatty beef in chilly sauce.
The portion here is huge no joke. I think 5 people could have shared the food we ordered.
The house special fish filet was the best item of the meal. Fish filet was tender, it had a lot of tofu in it that was seasoned very well and some vermicelli and veggies. Good but a bit too greasy.
Fatty beef in chili oil. I could have swear it was not beef but lamb. I had asked the waiter and he had confirmed that it was indeed beef. I think I know the difference between beef and lamb. It was dry, gamey and just had the lamb meat taste to it. The flavor of the dish was good but the dry lamb meat which they insisted was beef ruined it
Shrimp malatang, worst item of the meal. Wayyy tooooo salty. Did the chief dropped the salt jar in there by accident?
Overall, it was just ok. Cheap for the price and amount of food you get. I guess stick with their house specials.

This place gives you tons of food for your money great value. We ordered the Ma Poo Tofu and fried fish pieces. The bill came out to 22 $ not bad I was expecting it to be close to 40 $ considering most fish items were above 20 $ here but they do know how to cook fish real well the Tofu was alright passable not anything spectacular. There is no wait for this place they also allow you to bring your own liquor the beer selection is bad. I would return here to try other dishes they have we spent around 2 hours here my companion would not leave till every item was finished GL with that lol I barely ate. Cold watermelon slices were given as a desert huge plus.

Drop in for a late lunch. Ordered the Jia Jerng Mein and it was a humongous and very satisfying bowl of noodles. My friend ordered the pork with snow cabbage noodle soup and he couldn’t finish it. Great portions, decent prices, clean environment, food is fresh. The food here is a mixture of Shanghai, Hunan, Szechuan, and others. They offer the typical lunch menu that can be found in any Chinese takeout as well as their menu with «real» Chinese food. I would definitely come again and would like to try their dinner menu.

Went there on Chinese new years with a group of co workers after work. It was very late at night and they were about to close, but the waiters were very friendly and attentive. We ordered about 6 hot dish and a cold dish. Everything was honestly great. I would totally recommend their lamb chops there. It’s a taste that you would not get from other restaurants. Their greens were fresh, not too oily. We did want seafood, however they said they don’t have frozen shrimps or crabs, they buy it fresh from market, which i find pretty impressive (because most restaurants have the frozen ones). Overall, we had an amazing time there. Food was delicious, beer was cold, it was a pretty awesome experience. Hopefully the next time I go there, I will discover more delicious food!

More 3 and a half. We have been wanting to try this place since it opened. You may miss it since there are so many Chinese restaurants. It’s right before the hot pot place.
I did like the eggplant with garlic sauce because the eggplant was sliced same size. The food was decent and so was the service. The dishes weren’t that spicy but had enough flavors.
