Tiger Sugar
2.5 out of 5 Stars
Tiger Sugar finally came to New York. We waited outside in the blazing sun for ten minutes for the “Brown Sugar Milk Tea.” I am, personally, a super fan of “Brown Sugar,” and being that fan, I tend to have a higher expectation. I first had this in Hong Kong, and that was splendid, so I thought “Wow, they finally have Tiger Sugar in NY.” Therefore, I went to Flushing, and got this drink, but to my disappointment, it didn’t taste the same. The tapioca is a bit weird, they’re not entirely the same size. They have small ones and big ones mixed inside, and they have a weird texture. There’s too much milk and not enough brown sugar. It was a waste of ten minutes of my life.

Like Cafe/ Tsurutontan
LIKE CAFE: 4 out of 5 Stars
The Hong Kong Style milk tea has the good combination of milk and tea. It’s just a few points away from perfect.
This Fishball Steam Roll is heaven. The sauces are an excellent mix. It reminds me so much of Hong Kong. This is my favourite dish from this place.
The Satay Beef Instant Noodles can be better. It’s not bad, but it’s not the best either. It would be better if they could put a bit more sauce to the beef, perhaps making it a bit stronger than it is now.
Tsurutontan: 4.5 Stars out of 5
The Mendaiko Caviar Noodles is my favourite dish from Tsurutontan. I love how everything sort of melts in your mouth when you bite into it. I’d definitely recommend this dish to anyone who comes to this restaurant! You will NOT be disappointed!

Good Fortune Restaurant
Honestly, I’m not sure how to rate this restaurant. I came here for dinner with my parents for their birthdays. The food here wasn’t exactly all that appealing. It looks good, I’ll give them that, but other than that I don’t think I really have anything good to say. Their dimsum is good, but dinner food is really just a “meh” (if that even makes sense). I’m not saying that it tastes bad, but it just doesn’t live up to my expectations.
The service, though, was horrible. It took a long time for them to come and take our order. When we finished eating, we wanted to stay a bit longer to just chat, but they came right away to take our plates away. It was as if they were rushing us out for no reason. It’s not like the restaurant was packed. It was quite empty even after we finished our food. One of the waitresses, she took a plate off the table and spilled some sauce onto my dad. She didn’t even notice until my dad pointed it out, then she said sorry. She told another waiter to go and get some wet napkins, which by the way never made its way to us.
Good Fortune, overall, is a decent dimsum place to go to, but dinner I wouldn’t recommend it.

The Seafire Grill
SFG Surf & Turf
The Surf & Turf consists of a 12oz. filet mignon, 2oz. lobster, 2oz. shrimp, 1oz. king crab, and some red wine reduction. The steak was a bit too fat, but other than that no complaints all. This combination is like heaven when it reaches your mouth. The sauce is an amazing mix to your food.
Squid Ink Spaghetti
This wasn’t my favourite dish. Though, I like it for its lobsters because the lobsters are really fresh, the spaghetti was a bit bland. There wasn’t enough sauce or flavour to the spaghetti.
Creme Brûlée
Dessert! My favourite part of the meal. This creme brûlée is an amazing add to the meal. Best of all, it’s FREE! It’s free for the table if you check in on yelp, but they only limit you to one per table. It’s still worth to try it! Who doesn’t love free stuff, right?
Overall Experience: 4.5 out of 5 Stars! The servers are polite and patient. The servers never raised a voice at you or show any signs of impatience when you couldn’t make a decision on what to get. They were willing to answer all your questions about the food and they all seem to know what they’re talking about. Food is beyond words. I’d definitely come back here again someday.

Shanghai Asian Cuisine
4 out of 5 Stars
Shanghai Asian Cuisine is one of the better shanghai places to eat in Chinatown. Their soup dumplings have a very savory taste in its soup. One of my favourite dishes there is the spicy wonton. Its made with a special spicy sauce. My most favourite dish is the Kau Fu, which is basically tofu made with soy sauce. With each bite of the kau fu, it leaves you wanting more bites. It gets addicting.
This place is always packed with people because it’s so small, but its food is delicious, so the wait is worth it. The wait, however, isn’t really that long. The longest I’ve waited was maybe 30 minutes.
