E Noodle House

Similar to M Star Café in Chinatown but definitely not as delicious. Great for their appetizers and this is truly one of the only Hong Kong cafes in Flushing.
Great service and food comes out relatively fast. Would recommend.

small, decent & good food! pretty ok service, good prices and yummy dumplings. really close to QC!
shrimp dumpling noodle soup had no taste. I used the sauces on the table to make it taste better.
steamed buns were good + had a side sauce of condensed milk (?) to dip in. great!
crab meat soup dumplings were good but the skin was fragile.

Rude people. My family came to their restaurant at 830pm and they shooed us away saying they are closed at 9pm. It was 830pm. They were literally pushing my mom out the door. No kind words or apologies. Saying that my mom was silly to come at 830 and it would take a long time to make our food. I normally never give 1 star. But if you don’t let customers come in at 830 then say you are closed at 830. At least be nice about it. My mom was so embarrassed for the way they treated her. They were yelling at her on the streets and pedestrians were staring as they walked by. That is unbelievable. I cannot believe a service industry like this.
I don’t expect their food to be any better if this is their work ethic and attitude.

Yes!!! Clay pot rice at such a close distance from where i live!!! Very very excited when i came here a while back. We came for dinner and they ran out of the steamed rice roll. I was very disappointed since i have the biggest craving for that. But it gives me reasons to come back but for lunch or brunch. We ordered the spare ribs clay pot and pork clay pot along with fried buns with condensed milk and fried wontons.
The fried wontons were huge but has only a very tiny piece of meat. The fried buns was delicious so no complains there. Finally the clay pots. Both were so good. We ordered two to share among three. It was more than enough food. It was very delicious and made me think of hong kong. The crispy bottom got too crispy but all is good. I really miss clay pot rice. This got me and the baby statisfied. Oh and don’t forgot to pour soy sauce in your clay pot. Its not just plain old soy sauce. It has special flavoring added. Its that sprinkle of soy sauce which makes the clay rice whole and magical.

A cross between noodle town and sifu chio!
We ordered soup dumplings (skin was too fragile– kept ripping WHAT’S THE POINT WITHOUT THE SOUP INSIDE), yu chou with oyster sauce, and duet lo mien with shrimp wonton and black egg cilantro dumplings. I didn’t get a chance to order the clay pot rice but I will when I go back!
They just need more people working bc it was busy with only 1 server!

Do not order their fried dumplings. It was huge and greasy. Paid $ 6 for 6 pieces that’s a $ 1 a piece. Felt like I ordered dumplings from one of the Chinese fast food restaurants like «China Wok» but had to pay double the price. The ingredients in the dumplings felt like it was rushed. The pork pieces were large, the skin breaks easily and did I mention it was greasy. Don’t recommend it at all.
When leaving the store I overheard the owners talking about store decors. Suggestion to owner spent more time improving your food and less on decors. I would love to see more restaurants open up on Kissina but at least make it worth what you’re charging your customers.

Average but pretty authentic cantonese food. My husband got their beef brisket lo mein. The beef brisket was delicious and probably the best thing we had there. I had the fish and black egg congee which was well made though a bit bland. We also ordered The rice roll and soup dumplings which were average.
What makes this a 3 star is their slow service. It took about 15 min to get seated and take our order. We didn’t get our drinks until we got our entrée.

Not you average Cantonese noodle shop. Be sure to try their house special hot sauce made in house, which goes well with all the dishes. I have tried the curry tofu noodles and rice casserole, very impressed by their quality of the food.

Ordered the steamed rice rolls and a small order of shrimp wonton noodle soup to go.
The steamed rice rolls were topped with the sauces and toasted white sesame seeds. Rice rolls were freshly made but nothing spectacular.
The small order of shrimp wonton noodle soup came with 4 wontons packed with shrimp. The noodles were perfectly cooked with a chewy texture. Unfortunately, the soup was wayy too salty. It’s also topped with some chopped yellow chives.
Also credit card minimum is $ 15.

Food was okay. We ordered shrimp wonton noodle soup, steamed rice rolls, Shanghai soup dumplings, pork with salty fish hot pot rice and an ice coffee. Just average.
Things to note: Slightly pricey for the Kissena Blvd area, a piece of saran wrap in the hot pot rice, and the shrimp noodles smelled like ammonia if you smelled it closely (it’s probably just like that when they buy it).
Though this place is much better than next door: The Old Place A+ Chinese Restaurant (which is atrocious). Still looking for a decent eatery around Queens College…

So packed! Came here on a Saturday afternoon for a quick bite around 1:30pm. We waited about 20 mins for a table since we did not want to share a table. The restaurant itself is very small and narrow. Theres a waiting area in the front which was quite awkward considering as a customer I wouldn’t want people stare while I eat. The menu is fairly simple. They have soup noodles, lo mein, clay pot rice and congee. For appetizers, we had the steamed rice rolls which was my favorite thing to eat. It was quite good with a good amount of sauce on it. I got the small shrimp wonton noodle. The noodles was very good, not soggy and chewy. The wontons were plump and flavorful! They gave 4 wontons which was good amount. But the broth was quite bland to me. My husband ordered the duet noodle which he had the wontons and tendons. But they mistakenly gave him brisket instead which he did not mind. He enjoyed it. Later on at night my husband came back and ordered the chicken clay pot rice to go. FYI if you want the pot its $ 2 extra. And of corse you have the option of returning the pot afterwards. It had the nice crispy rice on the bottom which I like. The chicken was tender. But I did not find it anything special. This place has potential and I just love hk style noodles.

So I’m back with my mom! We shared shrimp wonton and beef stew noodles. As a HK-​er, shrimp wonton is a quintessential cantonese dish. We just visited HK three months ago and with that in mind, she rated this place a 9/​10, 10 being the food in hong kong. Shrimp dumplings were crisp, with an actual shrimp inside, and flavored to perfection. Only slight downside is that the noodles had a ‘gan sui” flavor, it has to do with the process of making the noodles. The place was full and was taking their second wave of lunch customers at 1:30pm. I think I can safely call this my new fave spot in fresh meadows.

Came here today with my parents with high expectations for some good authentic HK styled foods, but left sort of disappointed. First off the restaurant itself is pretty small, so there may be a short wait for a table. The staff was nice and attentive.
Now for the food I ordered:
–Steam rice roll with seafood and peanut sauce: I really enjoyed this dish, but to really perfect this dish the rice roll should be more softer. I’ve had better rice rolls that were super soft and yummy, so this dish has room for improvement.
–Wonton noodle soup: The noodles itself was cooked perfectly, chewy and yummy. The wonton was also very good, BUT the soup had NO TASTR whatsoever which was the major downside of this dish.
–Iced HK style milk tea: Tasted very authentic, like the ones I drink in Hong Kong, but wasn’t like amazing.
–Century egg congee: Horrible. Would never order again. The congee had absolutely no flavor and tasted super watered down.
I’m not sure if I would recommend this place yet, but this restaurant definitely has potential to be very good. Hopefully they work on perfecting their dishes, then maybe I’ll come back!

Cozy little place to have lunch with the family, they have small tables of 4, lunch and diner hours could be very busy and the wait could get long, plan accordingly.
We came here for their clay pot rice and it didn’t disappoint, their fried wings and congee was also on par with others. Their ice lemon tea is a must.
Overall a good experience and we will definitely be coming back to try their other offerings.

This is a nice spot to have some Hong Kong style food.
I was craving some spare rib clay pot rice and this restaurant did not disappoint. The rice was nice and crispy and the spare ribs were tender.
Their shrimp wonton noodle soup was amazing. The wontons are really fresh.
The crab meat soup dumplings have a nice thin outer skin. The soup inside was slightly salty for me but it had great crab flavor.
Service was great, the waiters and waitresses work quickly.
I would come back to this place weekly

Great comfort food for the price. The service is nice and the tea is free flowing. The murals on the walls envoke an asian café which is fitting as their ice coffee is as sweet as the cute décor. I reccomend the curry beef, full of tasty soft tendons and protein.

As the point of contact between restaurant and consumer, a menu really should be as clear as possible. Maybe that’s why I was somewhat befuddled when two bowls of noodles arrived at my table when I thought I had ordered a vegetable and mushroom noodle soup with a couple of add-​ons for an extra charge.
You see, the bottom of the soup noodle section read, «choose two,» accompanied by a sizable list of options: wontons, beef brisket, vegetables, fishballs, etc. I told the waiter that I’d like the vegetable noodle soup with beef brisket and wontons. He seemed confused but proceeded to write down my order. I suppose that should have been my first hint that this dining experience would go awry. His attempt to confirm my order was a fruitless process due to his limited English and my limited (nonexistent) Chinese skills. Our exchange might as well have been two ships passing in the night. Rather than carrying on in vain, I smiled and nodded, confirming whatever it was that he was trying to tell me. I’d soon enough find out what he was trying to tell me.
Ok, so now I’ve got two bowls of noodles. It is what it is. I wasn’t planning on spending $ 17 on soup noodles that night, but when life deals you dual soup noodles, you roll with it. But those giant mushrooms! I think they were acquired straight from the fantastic world of Alice in Wonderland. They are great for fantasy tales, not as great for eating in real life. I forwent the potential choking hazard and simply enjoyed the noodles. On to bowl #2. The wontons were delicious; the beef briskets, less so. In fact, I think beef briskets were somewhat of a misnomer because there really was no «beef» to be seen. What I saw instead were a lot of fatty strands of something indiscernible.
Alas, this was the experience the soup noodle gods destined for me to have this evening.

Very good Hong Kong style wontons and dumplings. But the xiao long bao keep busting open when you pick it up.
I would not try xiao long bao here again

After E-​Noodle House replaced one of my favorite noodle houses in the area, I sulked for a few months and only returned to the space begrudgingly last night at my husband’s not-​so-​gentle prompting to «move on, already.» The interior has since been completely redone with new leatherette seating along one wall and a cheerful, cartoony mural that threatens to pull your eyes away from your date because there’s something interesting to see in every inch.
Obviously, décor isn’t everything; no one eats with their eyes. But as my husband and I watched steady streams of people come in and wait with uncharacteristic New York patience for a table, we realized E-​Noodle must have struck a culinary chord with the neighborhood folks and began to await our plates with greater anticipation. I ordered the tofu curry soup noodles (be aware that they also have tofu curry lo mein, tofu curry over rice, and tofu curry as an appetizer), which inexplicably came in two parts — the noodles and an intensely shrimp-​flavored broth in one bowl and a serving of tofu curry in another. Was I to dump the curry in the broth and mix? Or eat them separately? I wasn’t sure but I’m hardly a fan of meals that require instructions. Eventually, I resignedly pulled the noodles out and mixed them into the curry, which ended up being a good way to go (though, again, I never found out if that was the chef’s intention). Chunks of pan-​fried tofu and cooked potato had been simmered in a deeply savory sauce that was thick enough to coat the noodles after a perfunctory dip. The noodles were notable in their own right — just cooked enough so that they still retained a good twist and produced a slight crunch between your teeth (think al dente for the world of ramen).
Service was efficient, especially with our hot tea and water glasses being refilled on a regular basis but it was clear that the handful of servers were being stretched thin by the hearty Saturday night dinner rush. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and quietly collected other things to try while curiously spying on the dishes arriving at neighboring tables. It seems that the hot pot rice was a popular choice and several of the over-​rice entrees looked eye-​catching.

In the age of technology, everything sounds cooler and better when you put an E in front of what you are selling– Email, Evite, E-​Harmony so does it surprise you when an E noodles restaurant pop up by your neighborhood one day?
E noodle is a Hong Kong style noodle house in the Flushing area. A pretty decent location since it’s right off the Long Island Expressway I-​495 and it’s a 5 minute from Queens College. It’s located on Kissena Blvd between 59^th and 60^th ave.
Parking: It’ll probably be hard finding a spot on Kissena blvd but no worries, head toward the more residential area (59^th and 60 ave) and you’ll no doubt find yourself a spot.
Ambiance and décor: Walk in and you will be greeted with a gorgeous and cute mural on the wall filled with people eating noodles. Like the usual and traditional noodle house, the restaurant is filled with wooden tables and chairs. The place looked clean and organized, I especially appreciate the bathroom, which looks bright and smells good. The restaurant is not huge (about 8 tables of 4 or so) but the table arrangement gives you plenty of room so you are not elbowing the person sitting in the table next to you.
Food: Even though E Noodles advertise themselves to be a noodle house, but there are plenty of food options– from noodles to congee to fried rice to soup dumplings, I came because I heard of their Hot Pot Rice (Claypot rice) so that’s my prime objective.
My friends and I started the meal with the traditional Steamed Rice Roll (mix sauced rice rolls), followed by the Sliced Fish Filet congee and Hot Pot rice with Spare Rib and aged Chinese Sausage.
Streamed Rice Roll– If you never had this before you need to try it, this is Hong Kong style comfort food at it’s finest! You can tell the rice rolls are fresh; it’s hot, soft with a great texture! Add that with a mixture of peanut butter sauce, sesame oil and hoisin sauce and you got yourself one of the carb dishes to the meal with. PS. They are very generous with their sauce so every piece of your rice roll is soaked with deliciousness!
Slice Fish Filet Congee– My wife got this dish because she wanted to have something lighter and it is indeed very light. The fish filets were perfect cause it’s basically rare fish pieces dropped and cooked in burning hot congee, which also means it will never be overcooked! The congee was very flavorful and had a very soft light texture. The fish were also flavored so there’s no need to add any salt. I once again made the mistake of just took a big spoonful of it without thinking and ended up burning my lips and tongue, so don’t be like me and walk out with a giant burnt lip.
Hot Pot Rice– It comes in different variety but I think the two most popular are probably the Aged Chinese sausage and spare ribs (usually with black beans). Needless to say Hotpot rice is cooked in a hotpot over high heat, the important part is creating crispy rice crust without actually burning it. I’m happy to report that E Noodle did very well, although my hot pot rice was slightly burnt but it wasn’t to a point that is inedible. The rice was flavorful, chewy and had good texture. I love the slightly toasty aroma it had! The meat was cooked well, if I have to choose between the Spare Ribs vs the Chinese sausage, I would definitely go for the sausage without hesitation– Fat is flavor! Best part is the slightly sweeten soy sauce, you can’t have decent hot pot rice without good soy sauce and I’m happy to say E noodle made the soy sauce really well and it perfectly compliment the rice without overpowering it.
Service: Excellent, waiters and waitresses were very pleasant and refilled water and cleaned the table very frequently.
Price: Medium– Slightly more expensive than most food in Flushing but not unreasonably so. I’m a firm believer on paying more for good food. With that said, most of your noodles and congee dishes range from $ 8– $ 10 while the hotpot rice are around $ 10 each. Reasonable!
Overall: Excited to have E-​noodles in the Flushing area, especially an area where parking is plenty. Food is above average and price is right. And you know they are good when the place is packed after a month of opening up so make sure you give them a try before it gets too crowded!
