About Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House

Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House is a shanghainese in Elmhurst, New York. It is listed at 83-05 Broadway, Elmhurst, NY 11373, which places it among the local businesses of Elmhurst that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

Hours are published for 1 day a week. Typical hours are 11 AM–9:30 PM. Note that it does not open on Tuesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House at (718) 639-3996; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 890 reviews, which is a strong result for a shanghainese in Elmhurst and suggests consistent service.

The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the restaurant has a nice, authentic feel. I really wanted to like the dumplings, but unfortunately, they were very disappointing. The dumpling wrappers were way too thick and doughy, with a very tough, chewy texture. It felt more like eating a piece of dough than a properly made dumpling. The filling was okay, but the thick wrapper completely overpowered it. I think the biggest issue is definitely the dumpling skin. Dumpling wrappers should be thin, tender, and balanced with the filling. Hopefully they can improve this, because the restaurant has potential.

Bigggg and juicyyy dumplings. Only cash. Didn’t get the soup because it looked huge but it also looked delicious.

Northern Dumpling House in Elmhurst, Queens is exactly the kind of hidden gem you hope to stumble upon. It’s a true hole-in-the-wall spot—no frills, no fuss—but the food speaks for itself. The beef noodle soup is outstanding: rich, deeply flavorful broth, tender cuts of beef, and perfectly cooked noodles, all served in incredibly generous portions. Everything tastes fresh, from the herbs to the handmade components, and you can tell care goes into each dish. Despite how busy it gets—and it *does* get bustling—the service is impressively quick and efficient. There’s a constant energy in the place that adds to its charm. If you’re looking for authentic, satisfying food at a great price, this spot absolutely delivers. It’s the definition of bang for your buck, and a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Great serving portion and affordable. This big bowl of mala noodle with sliced beef is my usual go to, gets me full every time. You can eat at the store, no tip needed.

Came here almost two years later and it’s just as good. The noodle soup portions have gotten bigger! Fresh hand-pulled noodles with seemingly endless toppings. I could come here everyday! ————————————————————————- I am in LOVE. This place is such a gem. If you want good, hearty Chinese food, this is the place to go. Not only was the food PHENOMENAL, the prices were unbeatable. The portions are more than generous. My soup was so packed with different toppings that it took me a minute to find the actual noodles. The dumplings were so fresh! You could see the chef hand-making the dumplings. I seriously can’t wait to come back here.
