“The Muslim lamb is a must-have…probably the most popular dish here, and for good reason.”
“Cumin lamb, sour cabbage soup with pork and glass noodles, braised pork elbow, and guo bao rou were ALL authentic and appetizing.”
“This is not your standard Americanized Chinese food as this cuisine originates from the Dong Bei section of China.”

we accidentally sat for a meal here because it seems to have the same address as Sifu Chio on yelp.. not sure why
by the time we realized we were in the wrong restaurant, they had already served us complimentary hot tea so we decided to stay
everyone was ordering family style chinese dishes that looked and smelled amazing but we were eating a progressive meal for asian snack foods and this was already our 3rd stop so we got something small
–beef pancake: sure it was a bit oily BUT YUMMM.. never had a beef pancake in this style.. the pancake had that chewy starchy texture w/ a sear and the juicy filling reminded me of dumplings
would def come back for family style eating!
This place is bomb! It's doing something right. This place has very authentic food and probably a very busy kitchen because the food comes out very quick.
Foods I highly recommend:
Country Style Green Bean Sheet Jelly
Cumin ribs
Fried fish
Desert:
Fried potatoes covered in sugar
For the noodles, the waiter mixes everything up for you at the table! Pretty awesome service. The fried fish gives you a nice crunch at first and then the fish just melts in your mouth. If you never tried it before, you have to give it a taste. The cumin ribs were also really good. Packed with seasoning and very tender. If you have a large party, they have a big room in the back for privacy. The only reason why this isn't 5 stars is because sometimes their other dishes (not the 3 above) are overly salty and needs to be accompanied with rice; maybe it was a fluke but I will come back and verify. Lastly, alot of people come here for the fried potatoes covered in sugar. If you never tried it, you'll have a fun experience. They give you a bowl of water and you have to dip the potato in water so that the sugar hardens and becomes a "candy." Give it a try!
The Muslim lamb is a must-have…probably the most popular dish here, and for good reason. It may come on a bit strong with the lamb flavor combined with the crusted cumin and other herbs but I thought it was amazing. Worth finding parking in Flushing for…and I never go to Flushing to eat any more.
Came here with a couple of friends on a late Tuesday night (around 10:30).
Pros: undivided attention, food came out extremely quickly and freshly prepared
Cons: we felt like jerks for being the only ones inside, they probably felt like were jerks for being the only ones inside
The signs say Fu Run closes at midnight, but like many local businesses, they're not obliged to actually stay open on a dead weeknight. We definitely got rushed to put in our order, as our waiter told us that they were closing and wouldn't take additional requests afterward. I get it, but it's too bad because I'm not that familiar with Dongbei style cuisine. We ended up doing a combination of crunchtime yelping and randomly pointing at pictures that looked good on the menu.
– Muslim lamb chop: delicious but extremely difficult to eat. My shorts did not survive the cumin/spices that would fly from the lamb when trying to pull it apart. It wasn't spicy per se, but I did enjoy how well seasoned it was.
– Shredded pork with black bean sauce: huge portion of pork with cilantro below and served with a tofu skin wrap of sorts. Also hard to eat with the wrap, so we gave up and just ate the pork on its own. Good but rather one-note, and I definitely would not be able to eat an entire portion by myself.
– Fried eggplant: pretty standard, very garlicky, perhaps fried a tad bit less than ideal. They skinned the eggplant, so that could be a good or bad thing depending on what you think of eggplant skin (if you didn't have an opinion before, now you do).
The bill came out to about $24 per person after tip, which is more than I would have thought, but everything here was solid. If I were to return, I'd be better prepared and try some other unique dishes to the region, but overall I'm in no rush when there's so much else to try in the downtown Flushing area.
This place has friendly fast service and ok food. We got a noodle soup dish that was meh and unflavourful, an interesting cumin fried fish dish that was maybe overpowering with the whole cumin seeds, but still pretty good. And a crispy tofu dish that was not at all crispy but tasty.
Ah Fu Run, so delicious and cheap!
Went here for dinner with a group of friends who dine here frequently.
They knew exactly what to order to satisfy everyone's hunger.
I'm not exactly sure of the names of the dishes, so bear with me. If anything, just refer to my pictures!
Bone marrow – I generally don't eat this because it's too hands on, and I have to dig everything out with a chopsticks. But it was worth the extra work. The seasoning was on point. Gloves were provided.
Cold clear noodle with vegetables – super refreshing. The entire dish was drenched in a sweet vinegar solution. The noodles weren't soggy, but had a springy chewy texture.
Vegetables – I totally love Chinese vegetables because it's always sautéed with lots of garlic.
Fried fish fillet pieces – delicious. There was lots of cumin! Make sure to drink lots of soda or cold beer.
Fried crab – a very large order. I believed it was half a dozen blue crabs. Delicious but a lot of work getting the meat out.
Finally, each bowl of rice only cost $0.60. Yes, that's right, less than a dollar! My friend was super excited about that. Let's just say we had a lot of empty bowls of rice on our table.
Final cost was about $25/person with leftovers!
We ordered the fish fillet in spicy sauce $16 + muslim lamb chop $26. Both were delish and came out relatively quickly.
Star of the show was the fish fillet in spicy sauce. There was a generous amount of fish, so soft and tender cooked in the szechuan peppers and hot oil. I was such a huge fan of the flavor I almost took home the leftover broth/oil so I could cook stuff with lol.
The muslim lamb chop was a little bit difficult to eat and heavy on the cumin (which I don't mind at all). Personally, I had to scrape off all the seasoning on top because that would've been too much party in my mouth… In the end, there wasn't too much meat. It was a good dish but not one I'd come back for given the price.
Rice is like an extra $1.50 for 2 bowls. Even if you're not a huge carb eater, I recommend ordering rice to go with these flavor-heavy dishes.
They take both cash and card.. no discount for cash.
I think this place just became my favorite restaurant for Chinese cuisine in nyc. Space wise, a bit small (the mirros hide this fact), so there will be a wait when coming during the dinner rush. 1 waitress knew English, rest were a bit limited, the photo heavy menu was genius.
Reviews were legit, get the Muslim lamb. Stacked with spices however not salty at all and impossibly tender. This will be my staple order anytime I come. This is also a staple image in my brain now.
The cold appetizer of cucumber, cilantro, peanuts and jelly thingy tossed in spicy oil was a great appetite opener.
We followed with spicy shredded pork and kidney with peppers. Both dishes were amazing and I will be coming back to order either one and just top it over white rice if I want a quick dinner. Most likely I'll order both cause I eat like a fat ass but am not, yes humble brag.
The bone marrow was amazing, actually had a bit of meat outside. Gnawed the hell out of it, gloves are provided so can definitely go in. Take gloves off and look immaculate in Flushing (lmao) afterwards. What was new to me (I don't get out much), they provided tapioca straws to suck out the marrow.
The two worst dishes was the quail and beef pancakes, solely because I was so full and stuffed, everything tasted like crap and I hated myself and I was crying at the table and I popped like 8 zolofts cause I was just that depressed and I felt oily. However I was still of sound enough mind to package the untouched dishes home. And the goddamn quail tasted so good the next day with beer. Consider yourself lucky, you just got 2 reviews in 1, dine in and takeout.
