Reviews
Food:
-Che li’s pork belly 10/10, loved the texture and flavor
-Crispy smoked fish 8/10, fish was crispy and flavorful
-Hot stone braised rice 10/10, loved the toasted rice texture
-Flaming beggars chicken 8/10, loved how they presented the dish
Service: 10/10. Waiter was attentive and welcoming.
Atmosphere: 10/10. Beautiful decor and loved the walkway path.
The beggar’s chicken definitely lived up to its hype. It was SOOOO tender and juicy, soaked in a rich, savory sauce that had the perfect balance of sweetness and depth. Unwrapping it felt like opening a gift.
The sizzling beef dish arrived dramatically over open flames. The meat was perfectly cooked, tender with just the right amount of char, and paired beautifully with peppers and onions. The presentation made it exciting, but the flavor with its subtle black peppers is what really stood out.
And the seasonal dessert was almost too cute to eat! Light and tangy, it was the perfect ending to a satisfying meal.
You can tell a lot of care goes into both the presentation and flavor here. It’s a wonderful gem in the heart of flushing!
The dumplings were very flavorful and balanced. The chicken was literally falling off the bones—insanely tender, juicy, and delicious. Their fried rice and soup selections were great, too. We got the Yan Du Xian soup which was a combination of pork, tofu skin, and bamboo shoots—basically a pork bone broth soup that’s very hearty. The Longjing shrimp was our favorite. The steamed shrimp was ridiculously soft, juicy, and savory sweet, then it danced so well with the tea sauce. It’s a treat to get for your photos, too.
Don’t miss out on Cheli if ever you’re in Flushing. Josie and the rest of the staff were very attentive and helpful. It was a delight dining here.
The beggars chicken was really special and the star of the night. A simple vegetable dish like water spinach was flavorful and seasoned just right. The crispy duck offers a nice take on the classic Peking Duck and the fried rice was beautifully prepared.
Needless to say, we would happily return and look forward to our next meal here!
However, the dining flow was not ideal. We were served the main course before the appetizers, even though we had ordered pork dumplings to start. That took away from the overall experience.
The Black Pepper Beef Breeze was underwhelming. The presentation was impressive, especially with the fire effect around the dish, but unfortunately, the flavor didn’t live up to the show. The duck was good, but not particularly memorable. As for dessert, the Blossom Mousse was decent but not spectacular; it felt like it was missing flavor.
To finish the meal, I felt rushed. Before I had even finished my main course, the dessert was already served, which made me feel like they were trying to clear the table quickly.
The waitstaff service was fine, polite and attentive. Overall, while the restaurant looks impressive, I don’t think the food is as good as it appears, especially for a place that is listed in the Michelin Guide.
The food was all excellent as well. I highly recommend the garlic steamed prawn and wine-soaked chicken. Both were very delicious and memorable. Looking forward to visiting again and try more of their menu items. Highly recommend!
While the dishes were edible, they lacked the freshness you expect at this price point; a few of the items actually tasted like prepackaged or reheated food rather than something made to order. Given the many dining options in Flushing, we expected higher quality preparation for the cost. It wasn’t a terrible meal, but the value just wasn’t there for u
