Reviews for Sheng Jin in Queens, NY
Great northern Chinese breakfast spot. The soft tofu was excellent. Especially topped w their homemade Smokey chilli oil.
The employees are so rude, that they will talk about their customers behind their back loudly. The food is mediocre at best, so... I wouldn’t come here to endure the terrible attitude of the servers. Read more
My favorite Tianjin breakfast place. Even as ghetto as you can get, it carries the best tofu soup, egg crepe, Guo Ba Cai, etc.... super authentic! And quite cheap. Read more
Came here based on a recommendation. Food was very unique as it’s not the type of dishes you can easily find elsewhere. The... tofu soup was really good. Tasted hot and fresh and surprisingly spicy. The pancake alone lacked some sauce as it tasted drywith the dough stick, but heavenly when paired with and dipped in the tofu soup. One of the downsides was the staff’sinability to communicate in English or Cantonese, only in Mandarin. The menus were all written in Chinese and the employeesbehind the counter were a tad rude. We ordered by pointing at what other patrons were eating. Read more
It was honestly so disappointing. Sure, it's quite hard to even find a place that makes northern Chinese breakfast, but the... quality of service and sanitation of place are so debatable that I would rather not have the food than to endure the experienceagain. The food was really sub-par if you've actually had it in Beijing or Tianjin. Read more
They sold me the frozen chive pies from the fridge and did not tell me that. When I went back to talk to them, they told me that... “it is what it is!” Their dishes are not with high quality, and the price raised up 30-40% than the price before pandemic. Ido not recommend. Read more
This old Northern Chinese food court looks like a literal hole in the wall, nothing fancy, cheaper than dirt, faster than fast... food, but a daily staple for locals. Not a good place for social outing, but rather a place for one to eat by their lonesomewhen they don't want anything fancy, just sustenance and some taste. There are 2 major stores in here, 1) is the fish ball andnoodle place, 2) the other is a breakfast place. Fish ball place and noodle served on disposable trays, fast (5 minutes), cheap(<$10), savory, with all kinds of fish ball and meat. The quality here is a little lower than food court food underjmart. Breakfast place offers a number of plus sized pastries on the top shelf windows, pre-heated buns in trays underneath,popular breakfast drinks like tofu flower in the back, and whatever it is featuring at the moment right next to cashier. Theysell buns with no filling that are the size of your face for a few quarters, too. An all time popular breakfast item is thetofu flower (northern name is ??? dou fu nao), it's soupy, savory ,and warm comfort food. Cashier will ask if you want hotsauce with that, take your pick. A few others are also good, so try them out. It's best that you can read Chinese and orderfrom the menu on the wall. Otherwise, cashier might lose patience because she usually serves super fast. NOT ALL FOOD here isgood. If other customers aren't getting it, you should not either. If you did order something others wouldn't order out ofcuriosity, you won't get sick, but you probably won't like what you eat (that moon cake is shockingly weird). These are usuallythe dry cold pastries in the acrylic glass display window; some of these might taste better if you take it home and steam it up. Read more
Never come back again. Their leek buns are ok, but the beef biscuits are very unpalatable and not fresh, the beef inside has a... fermented smell that is about to go bad, it tastes sticky, my son only took one bite, vomited on the way home, and many days ina row Vomiting and diarrhoea, it's so disgusting.
