Hua Rong

Delicious clam and cabbage dough in the morning. Handmade dumplings are very traditional. Highly recommended if you would like to have a Chinese dish with less salt, less fat, but good vegies and proteins! They definitely open everyday for breakfast. The open time here is wrong. The service is good. It might be slow during peaks because they have very limited staff members. But everyone here is professional and helpful in their services. Plus, people would wait for hours for a French or Italian dish. So why not for a nice Chinese plate?

This is real Chinese food! Nothing super fancy or dazzling, just authentic and homey always, the hostess is really welcoming and understanding too.

Ordered beef with bitter melon off menu, and it was the best I have ever had. Staff was very kind and accommodating. Ordered about 4 dishes and was surprised at the total after eating in - definitely a good deal for the amount of food. Do not be fooled by the interior of the restaurant - the food is excellent!

Bad attitude, well, I have seen worst in Fuzhounese place. But it is one of the worst for sure. I do think they deserve my respect as they serve like I was not paying for my meal or what.

Wow! We stumbled upon this restaurant by accident. We ordered 4 dishes for takeout. It was surprisingly amazing! The rice is plentifully packed. The food was totally on point! Authentic taste and style! Every dish and every flavor was made perfectly! This is our new go to spot now! Update: price is increasing almost every other month. We still go here for take out but we might to find some other place because the take out boxes aren't that big and being overpriced.

Great authentic Fuzhou foods! Very good actually. However, they kept changing the prices. They won't follow the prices listed on the menu, and will tell you a different price after you order. They said the menu was outdated, and a new menu will arrive, but the new menu has never came. So, if you come here, make sure to ask about the final price immediately after you order. Do not wait until your food is ready, because you might be shocked with an entirely different total price.

Great food, cheap, delicious. Make sure to check out the Chinese menu.

Just went there today, the lady often times told us to change our order up, resulting in us paying more than what we should. Restaurant is cold I can barely feel the heater. It's also quites small there. The food is okay, but ever since they changed up the price, it is over priced considering the amount of food they give us. Won't be really looking foward to go there again.

Very very authentic FJ quick bites that it makes the ones in Manhattan feel a bit lacking in comparison. I came in expecting a quick hole-in-the-wall service, but to my surprise, this place is not exactly a hole-in-the-wall nor do they serve straight up street food, and they don't fool around. The wontons and peanut noodles have a nice, authentic homemade flavor. The fried oyster cakes and shrimp cakes actually have real oysters and shrimps (althought they could have use a bit more oysters in the oyster cake)... very different from the ones I've had in the city, where they don't put any seafood in the oyster and shrimp cakes. The only downside is that the service is very very slow, and it's cash only.

Food is great. Prices are pretty good too. I especially love the fried taro cake. The fish balls are good too.

If yelp give a 0 star, I will definitely give no star for this restaurant. Order a porridge and this is what I got. THERE IS NOTHING IN THERE! What the heck it this??? Soup???? With few rice in it and you call it Porridge???? And it cost $7 for nothing???? I just ordered porridge from other restaurant earlier today. I know a porridge will never be like this. Don't waste your money to order a "Nothing". NEVER GO THERE AGAIN.

Made a delivery order again, tipped a little over 16% , but the delivery guy wasn't happy and complained as he left... So now I'm leaving my complaint, just wtf Plus both the dishes ordered were overcooked....Just smh

Awesome Fujianese cuisine in Elmhurst! This place is small, hidden, and a bit shady but the food is great! Fujianese cuisine is known for its inexpensive price tag and decent amount of food to share. There are many varieties of food on the menu. For breakfast, I love the Fujianese Wonton Soup. Fujianese-style wontons are smaller and more about the wonton skin. Soup base is more vinegary than savory. It is a great appetizer to start off with any time of the day. Taro Toast is triangular shaped and fried, just pure excellence when it is still scorching hot. The classic Fujianese Peanut Noodle is really great here. Peanut buttery and the noodles are soft. Try it! For lunch and dinner, I love their vermicelli. Their vermicelli noodle dishes can come with soup or stir-fry with pork, chicken, or clams. They all come with cabbage and a generous amount of meat and vermicelli. One order can feed two people. Quick, affordable, and authentic spot. A great find in the immediate area!

Small restaurant, good taste for traditional Fuzhounese restaurant in the neighborhood. Taro duck noodle soup is yummy. Food service is fast.

As a woman married a Fujianiese man, I Have been a very logical and enthusiastic person to love Fujianiese cuisine Just like how much I love my husband. However, in this restaurant, the oyster cake was cold and hard. The drunk spare rib dish was hard and over cooked... The service was unbelievable cold and they dont care about you because you dont speak Fujianiese. Do not go to this place! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT!

A place around my neighborhood to get my mother's hometown food. Sometimes I miss my mama's cooking so I'll have to make do with this hole in the wall. They serve authentic Fujianese food at a great price. I love to get the peanut butter noodles, the fried taro cake and the oyster cake, fuzhou wonton soup, the meatballs etc. I love how it reminds me of home.

I am so happy to find this. I'm giving it 1/100th of a star for every item on the menu. 5 stars. THAT'S RIGHT - 500 ITEMS! 2 sides, 4 folds, 1 mile long. There are actually two menus. One in blue lettering and one in green. The blue is for ESL students, the green for sesame chicken orderers; obviously blue is the more intriguing one to me. Lets do some menuology: I spent an hour cross referencing the two menus finding differences. For one, the green menu has lunch specials and combination platters. Makes me think Americans like to order by number. There are other differences: The sections are different. On the green menu, you have sections for Egg Foo Young, Lo Mein, Fried Rice and the descriptive Diet with Nature Flavor. The green menu is also seperated into chicken, pork, and beef while the blue menu ONLY has a section with the all-encompassing title "MEAT". Elsewhere in blue living, you get the Special Appetizers section, Stew Soup, and the my favorite section of all: OTHER. At first I thought this was naive, but now I think they are just being considerate. Americans differentiate meats. We are concerned with things like "diets" - we need big letter descriptions. Misspellings and far out items prove legitimacy to me. Let's take a few samples from the menu: Appertizers Clam Bamboo Soup Zesty Intestine in Hot Pot Sweet Soy Bean Milk Pork Blood with Califlower Over Rice Pork Lung, any style Sauteed Jelly Fish Head Live Giant Crab Any Style (wait, Live? like living? Maybe I am taking this too literally) and you can get Cattle's Viscera in more than a couple different styles too. Quality? Jury is still out. I need some tour guides to see what's good and find out what are the 12.95 pick-three specials listed on the wall in Mandarin. The place across the street has the same menu but with English translations, I believe these are house specials. If you aren't convinced by the choices on the menu and are still a little leery about the food at Hua Rong, consider this: the first piece of writing on the front of menu reads: "The Best Chinese Restaurant in the Area" Need more convincing?

Zero star for this place, menu price bait and switch! Ordered the squid hot and sour soup, the menu says $10, but when we pay our bill, they had the audacity to charge us $12. We asked why the $2 difference, the fat lady said that is because the menu is dated. I am sorry, but if the menu or the price is dated, you need to replace it, you don't argue with the customer. The lady with the glasses said to honor the $10, but this fat lady continue to argue with my wife and in the end still charge us $12. Also she dropped our squid hot and sour onto the floor, and happily packed that into our to go. The squid was no fresh at all, and I had a food poison after eating there. I will never return there in a million year. Please do yourself a favor and go across the street and visit another restaurant.

I love their orders on delivery when I not feel good to walk out, they has the best speed on delivery service, the food always hot and maintains good taste , just hope pay attention on no MSG when I requested.

Nice cheap food, only thing is sometimes delivery guy can be a bid rude and ask for more tips and just dont give you change back.

PEANUT BUTTER NOODLES! That's all I have to say. Oh and make sure you get the wonton soup as well. They compliment each other so well for some reason. Make sure you add some vinegar if you want a bit of flavor in your wonton soup. It's $6 for both the peanut noodles and the wonton soup which is a great deal. They make it very fast and filled me up just a bit, only because I usually eat like 3 of them. This place has been around for such a long time! It's certain a gem for me in Elmhurst.

Bad service, long wait, missing fishes from order, price higher than marked on menu. Some good dishes, others below average

Super nasty service. I order what want and then before I leave I double check with them if it's right. They just said yes yes yes , it's right it's right. And then they sounds like rushing me to leave . So bad so bad. When I got home all the orders are wrong!!!!!!! When I called them. They said u bring it back and we change for u?!?!? Do u know how far we are and u wasted my time. And u didn't event say a word for sorry for me???? And I did asked u if u wanna double check! What a NICE RESTAURANT?????

Just made the order from my favorite restaurant in my area,I ordered the shredded pork with dry bean curd,I was waiting there for a while,when I got the order and went home,very disappointed,then called there and talked to the lady on the phone,told her I ordered all the time,this was the first time complaint on my order,she tried to not change it,then I had to bring back the food to restaurant again,just wanted to changed something else,hope they can do better in future ,still my go to place!

Absolutely love this place for the most authentic FJ/Chinese food. The boss lady who does everything from waitressing to taking phone orders to cooking to preparing food to packaging...she also has the best personality. Always smiling and when things get busy, she's very apologetic (which she doesn't need to be because we understand). We go there and seat ourselves and sometimes have to share tables. She will custom make our food as well. They open early and late. I'm so appreciative that I live so close to this place.

My favorite FJ restaurant since the 90s! Yes, I've been coming here since 1998! Their FJ ho fun noodle soup is the best breakfast any FJ's would ask for. Their deep fried donut is even better! I'm not a fan of their peanut butter noodle- it's usually over seasoned with soysauce. I love their Taro and duck noodle soup. This FJ restaurant is only best for breakfast and lunch. If you want an FJ dinner, you should try the FJ restaurant across the street. Their dinner dishes are much better.

I can't stand the dishonesty about overcharges because of the "outdated menu price". it just so happened that the new menu is all given out and I can't verify my prices! Food is not fresh either!

I love their meat ball soup... Sherreded beef with hot pepper are great... Early morning dont miss their oyster pancake.. Its delicious..

Basing my review solely on Peanut noodles and FJ wontons! Authentic and inexpensive. However you have to tell them you want smaller portion of wontons or they'll automatically bring you the larger one. Cash only

One of the best FJ food in Elmhurst. I would recommend Anyone. Friends or family. Food is decently price and the combos are great for cheap gatherings.

if you've been to a good seafood place in china then you'll really appreciate hua rong. this place has really excellent seafood. the dungeonous crab over sticky rice is just awesome. this is the right time of year to hit up shellfish too. steamed fish is great. ingredients are very fresh. veggies are sauteed just right. love their house special watercress. the staff is very friendly. don't get intimidated by the chinese only menus because the staff will speak to you in english. the place looks a little run down and dirty but don't be fooled everything here is fresh. if that bothers you then just order take out. i swear i think they earn three times as much in take out/delivery than dine-in business. this place has more delivery guys going in and out than two domino pizza joints put together.

When we ventured into Hua Rong we had no idea what to expect. There are no outside signs in English and the restaurant is nondescript except for a photo of the owner and Bill Clinton. There were six of us here for a belated Father's Day dinner and all of us were blown away by the food. The waitstaff is friendly but barely speaks English. Nevertheless, this Fuzhou restaurant easily tops any of the Cantonese places that I've tried in Flushing, Elmhurst or NYC for that matter. The seafood and beancurd cassarole, whole fish, shrimp in garlic sauce, ong choi, and singapore chow mei fun were consistently amazing. We eat out all over New York and can honestly tell you that this was the real deal and outstanding for a great price.

You win some, you lose some. This place is an AUTHENTIC (and I mean it) Fuzhounese restaurant. My parents are from that little town in China and they love this place. I, on the other hand, can do without it. Their steamed fish is very good along with some of their other dishes. However, their noodle soup is borderline terrible. Don't get it... it is awful. The noodles are starchy and thick and the meat is full of bones with barely any meat. I'm giving it 3 stars because their only huge miss is their noodle soup. It's nearly impossible to try their extensive menu so you're going to have to dartboard it and give it a try.

Definitely bad restaurant. Dishonesty! When you first take your order, they give you menu and say nothing. When you check out, they say the menu is out of date and the price isn't right! WTF! What you mean the price on the menu isn't right?! Very disappointed!! Never go there again!

Decent Fuzhou restaurant. It's super cheap! Only $16 for two dishes, a soup and rice! And their rice beats most other Chinese restaurants in the States. However, don't order 肉燕 (sorry I don't know the English name of it.) here.

No fancy atmosphere but great authentic FJ Chinese food. been coming here regularly for over ten years. The only reason I'm giving it a 3 star is because of one of their delivery guy. Very rude and he's a pervert.

The restaurant is nice, but their deliveries definitely need to be fixed. The final price of the delivery was raised 30%, and they even had the decency to ask for an addition of tips. I'm looking at the rest of the reviews and they seem pretty nice so I assume this is just their delivery system that's messed up. I seriously hope they can fix this because it's not right for them to just add money to my final bill for no apparent reason. Please, if you're the owner of this restaurant, I hope you can give me an explanation. Thank you.

Good food, you must try the salt and pepper pork chops. The service is a little meh, slow and the wait staff isn't particularly nice, but not mean either. If you don't speak the dialect, the language barrier might be a little iffy, but just point and nod and you should be fine.

I used to come here pretty often. I've decided to go to this restaurant yesterday since I haven't been there in a while and I won't be going back there again. Since it's almost winter, it's quite cold there. There is barely any heater and restaurant is cramped. They barely put any effort in their menu and just raised their price by writing with a pen. I've ordered a few things in my family and the lady always told us how we should change our order so that she could earn more money She had tried making us pay more than what we should've been paying thanks to her suggestions. Food is a little overpriced considering the amount they serve on a small plate and their food isn't even that good. I'm an old customer and NEVER have I been treated like that. Pretty sure the restaurant is going out of business and I hope other customers won't have to deal with the lady's scam. Will NEver be looking forward to going back there again.

Very authentic and cheap. It opens very late. It would be better if it accepts credit card.

I ordered peking pork chops over rice. The rice was soggy and the pork sauce was to thick. A good point is that they are open very late.
