Golden Palace

The lamb dumplings are very good. You can feel the fresh taste of the mutton. The suancai dumplings are just so so. You can ask for vinegar of you don’t like soy sauce with garlic.
We also ordered Liurouduan (although I don’t know why my friends don’t want Guobaorou). The pork is tender after being fried. But I still prefer Guobaorou.
Shazhucai is a traditional dish. The soup is very flavorful. It’s good to eat with rice.
For the Xianbing, it has a similar taste as that of China. But I don’t like the stuff. A little bit too oily.
Don’t order Lapi. Disappointed about this dish. Too dry.
Jijia is not hot and should be more spicy.
The total is around $ 25/​person including tax and tip. Not bad. But not live up to my expectations. In Flushing where Chinese food is everywhere, this place is ok but not worth a second try.

Today was probably an off day. The preserve egg appetizer is extremely salty. Will not order that dish again. Everything else. As good as normal. Service still sucks. One got to try!

Never have the lettuce salad. Totally way off. Service is terrible, you will need to bring your own glass for beer, because you are waiting forever getting a glass while your beer is standing right in front of your face. Other dishes are good tho

Best Northeast Chinese food in Flushing. It is so authentic that you may feel like visiting North China. Strongly recommend: Pickled Cabbage combo stew (you know what I am talking about), Meat pie (Xian bing), BBQ lamb and of course deeply fried pork with sweet sauce (Guo Bao Rou), which is the authentic version of sweet and sour pork in American Chinese restaurant. PS: Chinese Name is «Liao Ning Fan Dian»

Another great northern Chinese restaurant in Flushing!
We were thinking about having a Chinese for dinner. The northern Chinese food is the type of Chinese food that we both absolutely love. Instead of going to the usual place for it, we wanted to try a new place. After reading the good Unilocal reviews about this place, we decided to stop by.
The service was good but nothing we can write about. As for the food, wow, they were really good. One of us weren’t even hungry & still able to say, «Wow, this is delicious!»
We ordered one of our favorite northern Chinese dish, the sliced fish with chili. It’s fried fish filet with chili & cumin. Absolutely delicious! Not too greasy. Definitely packed full of flavor.
The other dish that we ordered was the string beans with minced pork. Another hit! We love it! The flavor were just absolutely perfect!
The portion were generous. We both shared the two dishes & two bowls of rice. We couldn’t finish them all. There were just a lot of food. We had to take some home.
The menu is definitely great for someone who is not familiar with the type of food that they are serving. Lots of photos inside the menu! Very useful!
All total, we spent about $ 22. It was definitely worth it. This place is definitely worth trying.
We’ll definitely go back!

Pretty standard fare, nothing spectacular. Just barely making it to 3 stars.
I am from northern China so my standards going in to this restaurant were pretty high. I guess it was a bit of a let down from what I’m used to.
We got the liang pi (green bean sheet jelly), chicken with mushroom stew, and pork with vermicelli stew.
The green bean sheet jelly had some type of wasabi in and wasn’t really to my liking. Some people might like wasabi? But it just didn’t taste like liang pi I usually have back in China. Otherwise, good texture of the sheet jelly and good proportion of mixed veggies.
The two stews we got were too similar, but we realized this too late. Between the two I preferred the pork one because the pork itself had more flavor. I thought the chicken was too dry and whole stew was too oily. When the fire at the bottom went out, the stew got colder and a film of oil formed over it. The mushrooms were good, but that’s about it. Pork was also a little too fatty. Vermicelli was good in both dishes. Portions for everything were huge (typical northern China style) so at least it ended up lasting my friend and I both two meals.
Service was okay, standard for a Chinese restaurant in Flushing.

Golden Palace serves northern Chinese cuisine, which i have no knowledge about, except to say, after tasting it, that it varies in its use of vegetables and the way it prepares its dishes and meats. well, that and it’s delicious.
if you’re looking for savory, full flavored punch in your food, then 東北 cuisine is definitely the way to go. they have a Spiced Beef Shank ($ 10.99) which is a specialty of the house and is only available for a limited number of servings a day. it’s available warmed or cold. although usually i would opt for the warm version, the cold version is just as good. although the meat’s been cooked, cooled, and then sliced, it retains a moist texture. with the accompanying garlic soy sauce, it’s hearty and delicious.
similarly, the 大拉皮 Green Bean Sheet Jelly ($ 9.99) is a tart and cooling dish with cucumbers and carrots, like a cold salad. i highly recommend the 尖椒肥腸 Intestines in Fresh Hot Pepper ($ 8.99) which packs a punch of spice and is a great accompaniment with rice. fair warning, the green peppers are very spicy.
One of our favorite dishes was 酸菜粉絲 Sour Cabbage with Vermicelli ($ 7.99). the stir fried sour cabbage provides instant umami inside your mouth, and the vermicelli adds heft and contrasting texture to the crunchiness of the cabbage.
an interesting dish is the 血肠 Blood Sausage. i’ve never encountered it before, although was told it is a very authentic dish that has died out in most restaurants. it’s essentially a sausage casing filled with pigs’ blood that is steamed and then sliced. it’s served with a garlic soy dipping sauce. i love eating offal, but i found the texture of the dish… unpleasant. the inside is just too mushy and off-​putting for me to enjoy.
there was also a vegetarian stir fry consisting of wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, and carrots served with handmade pancakes, raw sliced scallions, and the brown sauce usually served with Peking duck to be wrapped like a tiny burrito. every table orders this dish so i recommend giving it a shot. if anything, you’ll feel healthier for having done so.
Dishes we could have done without: 焦溜茄子 Eggplant with Brown Sauce ($ 7.99). i’m a huge fan of eggplant, and while the eggplant was properly tender, the dish felt overly greasy and lacked the flair of the other dishes. a similar problem occurred with the 回鍋肉 Sautéed Sliced Pork w. Pepper & Chili ($ 8.99). the 蒜蓉空心菜 Sauteed Chinese Watercress with Garlic ($ 9.99) lacked any uniqueness of flavor, but then again, it was mainly ordered to provide some much needed green vegetables to our growing table of dishes. Uncle was a big fan of the 肉絲炒乾豆角 Sautéed Sliced Pork w. Tofu ($ 12.99) but i found it a bit salty. according to him, the dish was extremely authentic and i did like the dried tofu sheets, which i rarely see used in the Chinese cuisine served at restaurants.
another warning: the portions at this restaurant are pretty epic. my mother’s side of the family tends to over-​order when they go out, but our table was pretty daunting and the servers kept running out of room to put each new dish that arrived. which reminds me: the service is friendly but not the best. it seems to be 1 waiter and 1 busser for the entire restaurant, and neither can keep up with the speed in which the dishes come out of the kitchen. so be prepared to have empty dirty plates on your table for the duration of your meal or to have clean plates stacked upon old empty dirty plates.
as if we hadn’t stuffed ourselves enough, after finding out that they make their dumplings fresh on the premises, Uncle ordered a plate of 三鮮水餃(蒸) Seafood Dumplings with Pork ($ 8.99). as with all dumplings that are freshly made, the filling was succulent and juicy, and the skin retained the fresh dough snap, although a little on the thicker side.
overall, the food was good and different than Flushing’s usual offerings. definitely recommend giving it a try.

The eggplant here tastes extremely salty, and the waitress was neither friendly nor helpful at all. Will never come back to eat.

The food quality is like other Chinese Northeastern food restaurant in Flushing, no bad, but no special either.

I will preface this review by saying that it’s aimed entirely at their LUNCH SPECIALS. I’ve eaten here once during dinner and it was pretty good. I would have given it a 4 out of 5 on that basis alone. But if you order their lunch special, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Both a friend and I ordered something off of it. Being $ 5, we thought it was a very good deal. Comes with a soup. We wanted to try something new, why not. It took a little bit of time to get the food, and there was a confusion with ordering cause the guy at the desk wouldn’t take our order cause he wasn’t a waiter (probably owner) but whatever. The bag was decently heavy so I thought the containers were probably packed. Man, were we in a for a surprise when I got home. Oh it was packed all right, WITH MOSTLY WHITE RICE! I want to say it was 85% rice, 15% meat/​veggies, at best. After we finished eating, we had a gang load of white rice left. And the soup was completely bland and flavorless. It’s like they boiled some cabbage and called that a soup. No flavoring, no salt, no spices, nothing. Overall it turned out to be a terrible value. I could have gone to Daro’s and gotten a meal for kings there. Or some halal food. I’ll be coming back here for lunch or dinner on the main menu, I am staying the hell away from their lunch ‘specials’.

Quick, warm service and really yummy food all around.
Especially the pea and sweet potato pancakes, tofu dishes and stir-​fried organ meats.
All the dishes are a good mix of savory flavors without being overwhelming on the palate. And the dishes tend to be filling.
For dessert try the yam wedges/​dates covered in hot syrup — typical northern Chinese street food.

I guess this is authentic northern Chinese cuisine. As a southerner myself, the food is okay, but lacking some «zinc». Especially when they try to push the seafood entrees to you, you must be like «since when Dongbei had seafood…». There were some dishes that i could have made at home, not saying they cooked it badly, but just the dishes were so simple ones that only northerners might appreciate.
Service was okay, but didn’t like the fact they use buckets to clean tables.
A solid 3 star, nothing less, nothing more. Don’t go there unless you crave for northern chinese food.

Truly an awesome gem in Flushing. Delicious north eastern Chinese. Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Cumin Lamb, snow pea tips and fresh made dumplings. This place is usually busy but I’ve never had a problem getting a seat due to it being away from the main strip of Flushing.
Food comes fast and portions are generous. They also have a rice dessert with red bean paste that my daughter loves.

My mom suggested Golden Palace as she has dined here before. The restaurant was pretty packed when we arrived there which is always a good sign. Luckily there was a table for the three of us. I am so impressive that the menu included pictures with the descriptions of each dishes. The service was really good and the boss lady came by our table to ask how we enjoyed the food… I told her YUMMY!
Food: Tofu with sauteed carrots and onions with a light sauce, Cumins Lamb (my dish), something dried tea shoots which uses the crystals in the pot to heat up… I totally forgot the name, and pigs feet
Wow I absolutely love the Cumins Lamb and the spices were just perfect but my dad can’t take the heat so he picked around the lamb without the amounts of red hot peppers.
Jeez, it reminds that I am back in Shanghai! Very homey type of restaurant.
Definitely you need to swing by =P

Good food, Bad service.
As after lunch we were going to the near park, carrying a box of shrimp dumplings might got rotten, we asked if we could leave it in their refrigerator for a while. They agreed. We left 28% as tip. But in 2 hours when we came to pick up the food, it was not from the freezer at all. Good dumplings I can cook at home, but I don’t want to pay the people with no dignity.

It’s a really good place to have a big meal with friends! The dishes are large and delicious!

菜色味道ok.但是服務人員素質不行。全法拉盛最跩的服務人員。
The only positive comment I can give about this place is that they accept credit cards, which is unusual for restaurants in Flushing.
As for the negatives, how much time do you have?
The service is slow. I’ve waited as long as 20 minutes for a lunch special that should take about 5 minutes to make.
The rice has come out cold on several occasions – which ruins a meal.
Waiters don’t come to you unless you call them over. And when you do call them they look surprised and mean. I realize these waiters work like machines 7 days a week for menial pay, so that could explain their attitude.
The food is all right. Cheap and worth what you pay for it. $ 5 lunch specials include soup and rice.

The best authentic Liaoning style food. Once my favorite dining place. Like the Fried Pork in Scoop (guo bao rou), quick-​fried liver with distilled grains，etc.
You need to be an expert to make the right order, I saw someone ordered a hot dish（like the chunked sweet potatos topped in hot syrup) which is only supposed to eat when it is really hot, but they waited the potatoes to cool, and found out the potatoes are hard like rocks

Supposedly Northern-​Eastern Chinese LOVE this place. They (coworkers & etc)
claim it’s the best shizz around and 100% authentic. Sorry to say that my «ABC» friends and I didn’t feel that way. Thanks for the sweeping generalization on how us «ABCs» have crappy taste.
I appreciate the polite service, but I’ve honestly had better Chinese food or North-​Eastern Chinese cuisine elsewhere. Nothing here particularly Wow-​d us. I guess we’ll just take our «ABC» taste-​buds somewhere else.

Shame about the name. «Golden Palace» seems like it might be a regular ol’ Canto-​Hunan takeout joint, especially since this place is just far enough off to Flushing strip that it could potentially be outside the zone of regional houses of wonderfulness that thrive all around Main Street.
But no, this place is actually a temple of northeastern/​dongbei Chinese food. The owners are from Liaoning province, home to the gritty but large city of Shenyang and more than half of the North Korean border. The dishes incorporate grains and vegetables found up north, with the expected strong Korean influence.
There’s a preponderance of pickled and sour cabbage throughout the meal, from the complementary panchan (just two for a party of eight, so serving a small role than at a Korean restaurant proper) to the sour cabbage and pork casserole with glass noodles.
Dongbei cuisine isn’t a simple mix of northern Chinese food with Korean meats. It’s an entirely separate affair, and the menu impressively is almost entirely devoted to it. Highlights included a hearty order of jiaozi with celery, root vegetables and pork, and a great corn cake that should be studying by line chefs at southern restaurants in the city who think cornbread should have the consistency of a yellow hockey puck.
The service was friendly, and the waiters weren’t afraid to give a recommendation or two when we expressed a desire for the food of Liaoning. A huge flounder, covered in pepper and spice was our reward for asking. The free dessert, a red bean and sticky rice cake, was a nice touch.
(One note: We were seated in the back room, which I understand is a sign of respect, but I could have done without the odor of stale cigarettes. Opt for the main dining room, which also has big tables.)
