Fu Yuan is a straightforward Chinese takeout spot nestled in the bustling heart of Flushing’s food scene, specializing in steamed rice noodle rolls (肠粉) and other comforting Cantonese-style snacks. Unlike sit-down restaurants, this place operates on a no-frills, grab-and-go basis, so expect to order at the counter and bring your food elsewhere to enjoy. It’s ideal for a quick, savory bite if you’re on the move or want to sample authentic street-style Hong Kong comfort food without the usual dine-in setup.

The real draw here is their rice noodle rolls, particularly versions like the shrimp rice roll and curry fish ball rice roll. The rice rolls have a delicate, soft texture that soaks up the sauces remarkably well, making each bite flavorful and satisfying. The sauces, a mix typically involving soy, peanut, sesame, and a hint of spice, are what really bring the dishes alive — it’s worth trying all the drizzles to find your favorite combination. Portions tend to lean on the modest side, especially for the curry fish ball option, so ordering multiple rolls or pairing with other small dishes is a common approach.

Fu Yuan’s location on Roosevelt Ave means it fits neatly into Flushing’s day-to-day rhythm. Locals often drop by for a quick, affordable lunch or late afternoon snack, particularly those craving authentic Cantonese snacks that don’t require a full meal commitment. The absence of seating emphasizes efficiency and takeout culture, so it’s best suited for visitors who are prepared to eat while walking nearby or back home.

Beyond the rice rolls, other highlights include saucy beef brisket rolls, crispy shrimp rolls that pair well with dipping sauces, and a variety of other dim sum-style bites like spare rib crepes and pork skin radish rice noodles. These dishes showcase a range of textures—from tender meats to crisp fried options—adding variety to the experience. If you appreciate a casual, no-nonsense spot where freshness and straightforward flavors are prioritized, Fu Yuan offers a slice of traditional Cantonese food that’s well-loved by the local community.

Best times to visit: Weekday afternoons or early evenings when takeout lines are lighter, as this place can get busy during peak lunch hours. Prepare for limited downtime on site and a quick in-and-out experience reflective of Flushing’s fast-paced dining scene.

we ordered the shrimp rice roll and the curry fish ball rice roll! the shrimp were perfectly tender and bouncy and the rice rolls were very soft and soaked up the sauce well. the curry fish ball portion was pretty small which was a bit disappointing but the rolled and sliced rice rolls had a nice texture to them as well! what they mean when they ask if you want it spicy is if you want a drizzle of sriracha. id recommend this if you're getting the peanut sauce with the curry fish balls. no seating and cash only afaik.

I recommend the Fishball rice noodles with mixed sauce. The Rice noodles Ithaca beef is tasty but with a hint of chan pei would make it much better. Ignore the atmosphere rating as there is no seats or sitting. You can only order food and take it to another place to eat. I am willing to try their other types of food.

​Wow! This no-frills take-and-go little spot that serves some of the freshest, most delicious steamed rice noodles I've ever had. We got the small beef and small shrimp versions, and they were incredible! The secret is in the sauces—definitely say "yes" to all of them. The mix of soy, peanut, and a hint of spicy sauce with a dash of sesame seeds is perfection. ​This place, a hole-in-the-wall located just steps off the subway, just look for the blue awning, is a fantastic value -- bring cash. Keep these awesome local stalls thriving. Enjoy the food and don't forget to tip!

High quality, low price rice rolls, beef stew, curry fish balls. Beef stew with rice roll (cheung fun) 10/10 The rice roll is perfect and soft, and the beef is super soft, and covered in amazing savory sauce. Crispy shrimp roll 9/10 This is a large dry shrimp roll but it absorbs sauce so dip it into any of the sauces or the beef stew for some incredible flavor Crispy char siu sauce rice roll 8/10 Dense and large rice roll with some crispy texture in the middle. The meat is thin and tender. Bbq pork with chives rice roll 8/10 Lots of flavor with pieces of BBQ pork and thin rice roll Watercress rice roll 7/10 Thin rice roll with lots of watercress but not a ton of flavor. Curry fish ball w/ rice roll (cheung fun) 7/10 The curry flavor is weak and the fish balls are basic

A little window I’ve walked by a thousand times and finally noticed thanks to TikTok. Huge portion of billowy fresh steamed rice roll for $5. I tried the shrimp and the roasted pork and both were delicious. You can get the sauce separately if you prefer.

Very easy to miss this place but definitely worth the effort to try out. I ordered a large portion of the pork rice rolls which took 10-15 minutes to receive and tasted great, but could've used some more pork and sauce in order to be perfect.
