Shun Wang Restaurant
“Compare to Big Wong or Wing Wong in Chinatown I would prefer Shun Wang because I think they give you more meat and portion overall is bigger.”
“It serves your run of the mill Cantonese food so you should definitely try their roast duck and crispy roast pig.”
“Some people take a bite of the cruller and sip their congee and some people dip it into the congee itself.”

If you're looking for traditional cantonese food look no further. This is basically the comfort food that I grew up eating. Congee, wanton noodle soups, and rice dishes.
The congee here is on point! My family doesn't even try to make congee at home anymore since it almost always never turns out like the restaurant and for such a good price why go through the hassle!
Today we ordered the roasted pork and chicken over rice. The roasted pork was amazing! The meat was tender and well flavored there wasn't a piece that was over cooked and too hard to eat. The chicken pieces were small but meaty. As we were eating water from the air condition vents dripped onto our dish! We told the waiter and he promptly replaced the dish for us. 😀
Cheap, fast and good sums up the experience here. All the great taste of chinatown without the traffic and parking issues. We have been here numerous time and they have the best steam rice noodles which is nice and soft. This time we got 2 noodle soup and a fried dough rice noodle for only 13.00! The only thing is place is your typical chinese restaurant so it a bit on the dingy side.
I rarely eat Chinese (Cantonese) Food, but when I needed my congee fix especially on those cold days or when I'm feeling under the weather, this place would be on top of my list. I normally go for pick up so I can't speak for dine in experience. My go to dish had always been the Thousand Year Old Egg with Pork. The congee itself is a tad bit too watery for me, but it is not so bad given the area. My other favorite is the Egg Noodle Soup with Roasted Duck. Again, it's decent … Can't complain. The language barrier had always been a reason why I'd have to stand there longer than other patrons, but I'm used to it now. Will I ever come here for the dine in experience … Probably not, but I'll always have it on my pick up rotation.
This is about the most traditional Cantonese you can find in America. We were seated in a table with someone else. I don't think any other Chinese restaurants practice table sharing anymore.
I came here craving for congee (hot mashed rice) because I was sick. I also ordered a link of fried dough and the shrimp steamed rice roll. Everything was so good!!! The best part of, I ate like a queen but the bill added up to only $9.
For those of you who want to try a traditional Cantonese breakfast, here's what you need to get: 1) any type of congee; 2) a link of fried dough; 3) any type of steamed rice roll.
Great local service serving Chinese food the authentic way. I love all their food. Today is another congee day with preserved egg and beef. My favorite! They also sell a variety of roast meats. Heavenly. Must stop in. Extra plus if you speak Chinese!
Sad to see this place turn from one of the best places to eat to absolutely one of the worst.
I suspect it may have been the changing of the chef or just purely the lack of effort from management to upkeep both this place and the new place in Flushing. Regardless, I have lost faith and do not plan to return anytime soon.
I am loving me some Cantonese cuisine and Shun Wang is my 5 star place. It's not fancy dining but the food is authentic, fresh and delicious but then that's no surprise either. They're well known to me from their Manhattan Chinatown days and I'm even happier that they've since relocated to this Queens location.
Talk about a feast… when you, your family and or your friends want to dine on roast duck, crispy pork, roast duck soup, barbecued ribs and some creamy hearty Congee with the thousand year old egg and the like we high tail it straight over to Shun Wang and eat like Queen's and King's for the day at cheap prices and roll out the door stuffed and happily satisfied.
Generally we dine in and when we do its nothing but love, good, quick & attentive customer service, eat your food, pay your bill and get out!
I love it!

Ok I went to get a couple of dishes here. Some hits and misses. My father got back from having surgery so I wanted him to have a lil comfort food.
I always get the crispy chicken with garlic for my parents. It's basically that Chinese fried chicken they serve at wedding banquets but they give you this yummy dipping sauce or you can pour it all over your chicken. Beef chow fun is a must have…
Now on to the roast pig. All these Yelpers say get the roast pig..but they don't know when to order it. I was not informed as well until later that day when I brought a box full of boneless lean roast pig to my family. My family were shocked to see the pieces without any fat/bones in it. Now if you're weight conscious, you might prefer it, but if flavor is what you're after…you won't enjoy it. Now I know the secret to great roast pig…and will see if it's true next time.
Do not order the wonton noodle soup. I didn't try it, but my family did. They told me never to order it again, it was that bad. The wontons were huge balls of "meat."
I also ordered the beef stew with turnips, but they didn't give me turnips.. It was those strips of bean curd? I'm not sure what they're called in English, but I'm not a fan of them and would've preferred the turnips. It was ok, bit pricey at $13, I'll just make it myself.
I saw the pigs head sitting there and one reviewer said it was good… This one was huge… Think it was $4. Really heavy. I wouldn't say it was delicious, it was eh… so I don't agree with her. I'd say it was messy, difficult to get the meat off. I didn't want to boil the head since it has brains in it and there's something bad about pig's brains? L told me not to get it, but now I tried it and will never get it again! I had to throw it out the next day.
