I have actually been waiting a long time for this place to open and it finally has! This is the sister restaurant to the Fu Run in Flushing on Prince St. (hence the name NEW Fu Fun lol).
The interior and decor is very nice inside. Bright and clean with a good amount of space and seating and there's a huge bar towards the middle area of the restaurant.
I went here on a Sunday night with a group of 3. Since the place is still new, there weren't too many patrons inside, but not completely dead and it was past the dinner run, so still pretty good. We were seated right away, but it took a little while to get someone's attention so we could order tea (PS: their tea pots are plastic and spill everywhere). Once we ordered our tea, we were asked if we were ready to order (we were not), so we took a few more minutes to decide, waiting patiently for a server to return, but then finally just had to flag down someone so we could place our food order.
We ordered the lamb chops, sesame shrimp, fried fish, beef lo mein and pork & leek dumplings. I didn't try the lamb chops as it's not my preferred choice of meet, but everything tasted good. My favorite was probably the sesame shrimp because it was what I was most familiar with and would order again the next time I ate at New Fu Run or ordered take-out, but probably the most surprising dish was the fried fish. Pieces of fried fish in a bowl and it was pretty tasty! Pleasantly surprised and pleased, so I would definitely order this dish (sorry I don't remember the exact name, but all photos are attached for reference). On a sad note, they charge $1 extra for rice. It's not that it's expensive or outrageous, but we ordered 5 dishes and nothing came with even one little bowl of white rice. I would think that at a Chinese restaurant, this would be a given, but I guess I was wrong.
Anyway, the overall takeway is that this place had good food with a bit of a hefty price tag, a large variety of dishes (photos on the extensive menu help a lot) and mediocre customer service. I will probably return or just do take-out, but either way, I left very full and mostly satisfied, so it's a win to me!
