Taste of Guilin & IN CHA

Guilin Noodle tastes very good. They even have IN CHA option for bubble tea. The bubble tea was ok, not the best compared to other bubble tea spots. Food was good though.

Authentic Guilin rice noodle flavor. I love it. The scallion pancake and braised beef is great. The lemonade is also very good. 😊

I am so glad that Taste of Guilin exists. My wife grew up eating Guilin Noodles in China and whenever she felt homesick, we would take a drive over to Taste of Guilin so she could relive some memories. Guilin Noodles is a very niche type of noodle dish even among Chinese in NYC. The service is order at the counter and pick up food when ready. They have 4 four tops and a 2 top in the corner for seats. The ambiance of the restaurant is that of a fast food take out restaurant. Wife and I each ordered Guilin Noodles ($10) with extra crispy pork ($2.50). Each dish was then $12.50. Not bad for a Friday night dinner and cheaper than Flushing's Chinatown. The vibe here is must more old school Chinese immigrants who are Canto speakers. We ordered two things 1. Guilin Noodles w/ extra crispy pork is a must order. Get a taste of authentic Guilin. You eat the noodles in two parts. Have some of the noodles with various types of prepared pork with some spicy oil that is offered at the table. I also recommend ordering sour preserved diced string beans with your noodles if you feel adventurous. After having enough of the dry noodles, add some soup to make a soup noodle. It transforms the remaining flavor of the dish completely. It's magical. The only con about them is that sometimes the noodles can be overcooked and they will stick to each other more, loose their bounce and might break apart before you can slurp them up. Hasn't happened often, but when it does, it's noticeable. 2. Also ordered a mango flavor fruit tea. Honestly didn't taste so great. Most of the flavor came from syrup and there didn't seem to be much mango in the drink. Hard pass unless you want something to wash down the spice from too much chilly oil. So unremarkable I don't even remember what I paid for it. Come in for affordable lunch or dinner. You can experience some noodle dishes from China that is not found anywhere else in NYC. If the owner's read this, please open up a shop in Flushing! 4/5

This is our favorite Rice noodles place before, but now their quality of the meat is not good anymore. They used waste part 😞 and if you asked for extra meat they give you fat . Better to eat pork oil which is same taste 🤮. Though, I understand they raised their price but hope the quality stay the same. 😒

The professionalism and customer service performed by the cashier was dreadful. I made a pick up order for the pickled bamboo beef stew noodle soup and when I received my order, I realize the beef is not the one I use to have. I called for clarification and the cashier hear my order incorrectly. I asked if the restaurant can just deliver just the protein itself and I am willing to pay for the protein, delivery service, and tips. Unfortunately I have to travel to the restaurant for the 2nd TIME to remove the beef that was given mistakenly. The cashier DID NOT apologize nor did I feel any sincere apology when I arrived at the restaurant to repair the mistake made by the cashier. The worst part is that my noodle soak up my broth. Good luck to the person who receives the beef that was originally in my bowl because the restaurant owner took it out. It might be for the next customer who orders the sliced beef.
