Recommendations- Gin Thoke, Grilled Pork Neck, Latphat/Lahpet Thoke. Otherwise, A Kyaw Sone, if you don't mind a bit of oiliness, and the Pa Zun Chin, if you like shrimp paste cakes. I was at this Burmese place, which also sells some Thai food and other things, with a group relatively recently, where we shared a bunch of their thotes/athoke, or salads, as well as two other dishes. I think I remember going here one other time and getting either the Shan Khauk Swal Thoke or Nan Gyi Thoke, but I'm not positive, as it was a good while ago. The menu has gone through some changes over the years, but it's still reasonably priced. The service was friendly, and the vibes are casual, with the food being good overall, even if I prefer some other spots for Burmese food. To drink, I noticed a tea being ordered at another table and got an iced one, which I think was a very reasonable $3.50 or similar. It was refreshing and tasty with a mild sweetness from condensed milk and a strong tea flavor, and I would recommend it if you're a fan of similar drinks from the surrounding countries/South East Asia. Our only smaller dish that wasn't a salad was the A Kyaw Sone, a mix of fried vegetables with a tamarind chili sauce. As with most other dishes, there are small and large sizes, and we got the large, which was $14.99. The portion was quite large, with four different types of fritters and a very tasty dipping sauce, which had some sweetness and spiciness. In terms of the fritters, I was happy that the batter was light, but I did find them to be just a bit oily, with this especially being the case for the fried clump of greens. My favorite was probably the onion one, as I liked the light sweetness, and it felt a tad less oily. The larger ones, which each had a different filling, were also more unique with a soft inside. My favorite of the thoke/salads we tried was the Gin Thoke for the same price, with "gin" referring to pickled ginger, with there also being dried shrimp, crushed peanuts, garlic, and sesame seeds. The ginger added a sharp little bite, and there was otherwise a good mix of crunch. This was also the least dressed, which I liked a lot. While I prefer Little Myanmar for this athoke, it was still tasty and cheaper for the large portion size. Also for the same price was the Latphat, or Lahpet Thoke, with fermented tea leaves, tomato, cabbage, fried shrimp, crushed peanuts, fried garlic, sesame seeds, and a 100 minuscule distinct shift in crunch, was also tasty. This is the signature dish of Myanmar, along with mohinga (more on that later.) The portion was large, but this was the wettest version of this dish, which I wasn't the biggest fan of. Otherwise, there was a light fermented flavor and plenty of crunchy textures. Our last thoke was the Pa Zun Chin Thoke, with sour shrimp, green chili, cilantro, oil, and onion, which only has one size for $12.99. The person who ordered this expected it to be pieces of shrimp, but instead, I would describe it as fish cakes made from shrimp. The fish cakes reminded me of a fermented dish from Laos, which makes sense in hindsight, and I liked the texture. Otherwise, the dish had some kick and some saltiness. I know a few others disliked this, but I enjoyed it as well. The last dish we ordered as a group was the Grilled Pork Neck and Shoulder, served with papaya salad and sticky rice. This was the largest portion of any dish, which makes sense with the $20.99 price tag. The pork was very tender, and the papaya salad had a slight kick to it. I liked that there were two types of sticky rice, and the green sauce on the side, while not spicy, added some nice extra herbal and sour flavor when wanted. This was also tasty. To go, I decided to order a Mohinga, or Burmese Fish Noodle Soup, for $11.99. This consisted of thin rice noodles in a fish soup with ginger, lemongrass, onion, garlic, and fried rice powder served with hard-boiled egg, crispy split chickpea, cilantro, lemon, and crushed red chili. The dish was packaged nicely with the crunchy toppings and noodles separate from the soup. Compared to other places, I found it a little bit spicier, which I enjoyed, though it lacked a little bit of depth of flavor compared to Sophie's. It was also missing the crunch from the banana blossom flower. Otherwise, there was plenty of crunch, and the portion was quite large for the price. In terms of spots, I put it above Little Myanmar, below Sophie's/Burmese Bites, and way below the now-closed Yun Cafe. The food here was tasty, with a couple of issues. I found in general that the dishes were overdressed, and this was especially the case with the salads/athoke. While not my favorite Burmese place, the portions were large for the price, and the flavors were good. read more

Small space but the tables are comfortably laid out. The tables themselves are a bit small if you're with a group (big plates!) Service was friendly. We ordered: - Mohinga (Burmese Fish Noodle Soup) (#11): good flavors, especially with all the toppings. I liked that the soup was separate, so that the noodles and toppings doesn't get soggy. - Fried Beef with Spicy (#22): mostly nicely fried, though some pieces were a bit dry because it is small cuts. Well seasoned, especially the crunch, so definitely eat with rice. Nice kick, but not too spicy, unless you're eating the chili. - Nga-ku Sin Kaw Curry (FIsh) (#23): tenderly cooked fresh fish. It goes well flavor-wise with the curry. The crunch and the vegetables add more texture, though I would have liked some curry on the vegetables. - Pa Zun Chin Thoke (sour shrimp salad) (#31 - Spicy) : good sour and spicy (hits you at the end!) flavor. It's not whole shrimps, it's cubed shrimp paste, which leads to an interesting texture. - Latphat Thoke (tea leaf salad) (#37): can really taste the fermented-ness of the tea leaves. There is a great mix of texture, especially the crunch! I did avoid the raw garlic. - A Kyaw Sone (fried vegetables) (#39 - Small): I enjoyed the spicy tamarind chili dipping sauce. The veggies were fresh (spinach, zucchini, turnip?) and the breading was crispy on the outside. This was suggested by the waitress and I'm glad we ordered it. - Grilled Pork Neck with Papaya Salad (#43 - Large): tender and flavorful pork. I love the herby green sauce to go with the pork. The Papaya Salad was fresh and crisp. The addition of the sweet sticky rices were a great touch. Overall a nice spot to check out for Burmese food. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. They have a Non-Burmese (mostly Chinese) portion of the menu as well (labeled as "Group B" on the menu). read more

I've ordered from Asian Bowl a couple of times and the food is so delicious. I first discovered it from a glowing NYT review. We are lucky to have many outstanding Asian spots, and the Burmese flavors at Asian Bowl really stand out. The dishes I've ordered are also on the healthier side, with plenty of vegetables and nothing fried. I usually stick with the Burmese menu but ordered the beef low mein for my husband last time and it was excellent as well. Many menu items are labeled "spicy" and while they are very flavorful I haven't come across any that I would describe as spicy or hot. Delivery is fast to the section of Forest Hills furthest from the restaurant, which is always a plus! read more

Delicious food! I tried the tea leaf salad (without dried shrimp) and flat noodle salad with veggie chicken. The tea leaf salad had great flavor from the variety of veggies, crispy toppings, and astringent fermented tea leaves. The noodle salad was full of warm spices and came with a crunchy cracker topping that I enjoyed. The total came to about $40 after tax and tip for my portion of the bill. read more

I was extremely pleased with my experience here. Although very unassuming from the outside, the interior is clean and comfortable and the service is warm and friendly. I ordered the fermented tea leaf salad and the coconut chicken noodle soup, which seem to be some of the most popular items. The salad was such a pleasant combination of textures. The fibrous tea leaves are mixed with juicy tomato and various crunchy nuts and seeds. The raw garlic and sliced green chili give it a pleasant bite. The noodle soup was amazing. The broth was so rich and flavorful without being heavy. The noodles were chewy and the various crunchy toppings made every bite interesting. I cleaned my plate and I'm looking forward to going back for more. read more

I was in the area to visit my friend at the hospital nearby so I wanted something quick and my friend asked for the mohinga soup which is a Burmese fish noodle soup which they sell here. She enjoyed it. One of my friends dined with me ordered the Ohnoh Kawt Swe Soup which is a coconut noodle soup. She said that it was really good and had just the right amount of coconut in it. For myself, I got the Kyay Oh Seafood soup which was very bland. They gave hot sauce with it so that helped a lot. Maybe, I should've ordered somethIng else, but my entree just didn't hit the spot. read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8 Decor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I came here a couple times now and focus on mainly the Burmese cuisine. The owners are really friendly and kind. I really like the Laphet Thoke (Tea Leaf Salad) and Mohinga (Fish Soup w/ Rice Noodle). Though I don't think they are as good as Burmese Bites, it's definitely easier access for me. Their other dishes like Pork Neck w/ Papaya Salad, Pork Curry, and A Kyaw Sone (Fried Vegetables) are all quite good. Beef curry and Nan Gyi Thoke (Chicken Curry Noodle) are just okay. It's nothing fancy, but if I am in the mood for something different in my neighborhood, this place will do. read more

Asian Bowl - 58. General Tso's Vegetarian Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Ordered takeout on Lunar New Year's day. Lunch specials: The Shrimp Pad Thai was good, generous portion. My son had Chicken with Broccoli but didn't have the brown sauce which he prefers. With few pcs of edamame, a dumpling, spring roll and a choice of fried rice or fried noodles - picked noodles which reminded me of filipino Pancit canton. A few of the dishes actually made me think of filipino dishes. Like the Pork Curry and Fried Beef with Spicy (we got non-spicy) which was dry like "tapa", maybe will try with some spice next time. We picked these for the Family Curry Meal (available Mon-Fri) - comes with rice, and choice of edamame or 4 spring rolls. Also the Nga-Ku Sin Kaw fish curry which had 5 small filets, a tasty dish. ------ My son's friend recommended Asian Bowl and learned it served Burmese cuisine (my first taste was at the Queens Center Mall.) Looking at the menu, noticed chinese dishes so focused on the Burmese options. Some dishes had detailed descriptions, but others didn't so was googling :) Mohinga soup was recommended and we really liked it. The fish soup was served separately- had a split-pea soup consistency but not thick. Came with a plate of noodles, fried garlic, crispy split chickpeas (like a thin cracker), and other toppings. Then we assembled our bowls. Can be asked to be non-spicy. Latphat Thoke is a delicious mix of ingredients, with a lot of crunchy textures. Raw garlic too which when mixed in wasn't very noticeable. We asked for mild spiciness - the sliced green chilies were put on the side. The restaurant is dimly-lit, cozy, with I think 5-6 tables for at least 2-4 people each. Located slightly off of Queens Boulevard (by the Federoff triangle), with 67th ave subway and Q60 bus stops nearby. Learned from the owner that they took over in 2019. He was nice enough to answer our questions about the food, and got us interested to try more which we will definitely do. read more

Ok, the regular Chinese takeout menu is okay. Not issues, they actually have some good vegetarian mock chicken dishes, like orange chicken etc.. stick with the Chinese menu. I Am not squeamish when it comes exotic foods, but my experience ordering from the Burmese menu was very unsatisfactor. the veg curry was like a very oily, tomato based broth w 2 pieces okra, a whole boiled egg, and some onion. It was a little too oily to continue. Second dish was a very thick, yellow split pea dal with noodles, and a whole boiled egg. it usually had chicken he said, but since I'm vegetarian he left it out for me. Gentleman was very nice, service was good, but I wont get experiential again there, I'll stick w the Chinese take out. I'd say it is more of a Chinese take out with good vegetarian options That's owned by a Malaisian family, so they will whip up some Burmese stuff for you too...the reviews say the Burmese stuff is good, Burmese folks seem to think so. but as for the Chinese takeout, the mock chicken Chinese takeout stuff is awesome read more

The best takeout spot in the neighborhood! I like the variety of their menu and being able to choose from both typical takeout fare and authentic Burmese food. The mohinga (fish soup) is my personal favorite, so good and flavorful (especially as a someone who loves cilantro)! The pa zun chin thake is also a tasty traditional dish I've tried, a little spicy and full of cilantro. Asian Bowl is gluten-free friendly and they offer gluten-free versions of takeout dishes like general tso's, pad thai, and pad kee mao. I've ordered the regular and gluten-free versions of the general tso's and pad kee mao, and there's no difference in taste to me. read more

NYC doesn't have a lot of good Burmese food. In fact, NYC doesn't have a lot of Burmese food, period. But here in this sleepy part of Forest Hills, at this seemingly run of the mill Chinese takeout restaurant, exists some Burmese food done right. During my visit, once I got past the Chinese takeout exterior and sat inside, the authentic aromas wafting from the kitchen and the chatter of Burmese families all around me imbued a sense of home I've really only encountered at Burmese eateries in the Bay Area and not here in New York. With the arrival of multiple Burmese eateries in New York all at once, some have argued the city is going through a Burmese food renaissance. I'd say that's hardly the case, when several of these openings are just additional locations run by the same few owners of the same few existing Burmese eateries. Unfortunately they also have the same lackluster, bland food as their original locations. At Asian Bowl I had the pleasure of biting into a deeply flavorful and oniony shrimp curry, which was addictive with rice, an excellent rendition of mohinga, which is the national dish of Burma, and a wonderfully prepared tea leaf salad. I also enjoyed one of their noodle salads, which is arguably the best category within Burmese cuisine there is. It's common for Burmese refugees to get jobs making sushi at Japanese restaurants or at Chinese takeout restaurants, and for cooks to become owners of these restaurants, where they'll sneak some of the traditional Burmese food they make at home onto a menu, to see if their customers will try something new and end up liking it, which I suspect was the case here at Asian Bowl. So if you're someone used to ordering only what's familiar with you, live a little and branch out. The Burmese food here will not lead you astray. read more

Having ordered food to go numerous times, I have so many positive thoughts to share about this place! This spot has been around for years as a restaurant serving both Chinese American style take out AND Burmese cuisine. In my book this place is highly underrated for their Burmese food. First of all there are surprisingly very few Burmese restaurants in NYC period. Decades ago there was one sit down restaurant in upper east side which later closed and even today there are maybe 8-10 places across all 5 boroughs. That being said I'm glad this place is around! Asian Bowl serves a focused assortment of curries, noodles, noodle soups and rice dishes. Their curries pack southeast Asian heat so be prepared. This is not mild by most American standards, rather the kind that gives you a thin layer of sweat on your forehead. Totally hits the spot when you're craving a mouthwatering bite of spiciness. They stay authentic to the sour/tart flavors by providing a lime or lemon slice to squeeze on some of the dishes too. My personal favorites are the - latphat thoke (tea leaf salad) $12.99: this is a combination of chopped fermented tea leaves, cabbage, peanuts, tomatoes, fried garlic, sesame, served with slices of raw garlic slices and chopped green chilis on the side. It's a little crunchy and a terrific accompaniment for white rice. - kwa oh sechat (noodle soup with chicken or pork, mustard leaves and tofu) $13.99: I usually opt for rice noodles. This is a lighter broth with plenty of protein. It comes with a quail egg which is a nice touch. - mohinga (Burmese fish noodle soup) $10.99: this hearty rice noodle soup is a bit heavier in flavor with ginger and lemongrass, and comes with hard boiled egg and some crispy crunchy fried bits to add on top. - Burmese maifun $13.99: stir-fried rice noodles with veggies and choice of meat or tofu, simple and tasty. - curry combo box $13.99: basically a curry meal for one--choose two curry items and comes with rice a side of mixed vegetable curry. I've never eaten in but can say the owner is friendly and always greets with a smile. The restaurant is pretty small, maybe seating 15-18 people at most. Also much respect for keeping the prices affordable! read more

Ordered a few items for takeout, which arrived early. The hot and Buffalo wings had copious amounts of sauce but luckily were not too spicy. Mohinga had a rich broth while the kyo-oh sechat had really tasty vermicelli. The coconut broth for the ohnoh kawt swe was fragrant and smooth. Hopefully I ended up adding the correct soups/broths to the respective noodle base. read more

Two friends recently told us about this place and we finally tried it. It has a non descriptive sign in front so we have not noticed it much before. We have been back 4 times this month.

Having recently moved into the Forest Hills/Rego Park area, I was determined to find a few solid Asian options in my area and I think I may have to add Asian Bowl to the list. It's even harder to find specifically a Burmese restaurant at that! Don't let the generic name and Chinese food options fool you! The Burmese specialties are the most-eats here. So far I have only tried the NY Times recommended Thokes (Burmese salads) & the Sechat Khauk Swai (Burmese stirred fried noodles w/Chicken) and I was most impressed. It is truly a hidden local gem in this part of Queens! read more

What a hidden neighborhood gem! If I lived closer, I'd order from Asian Bowl on a regular basis (aka every week lol). At first glance, Asian Bowl looks like a typical Chinese take-out kitchen; with the standard chicken & broccoli that all the gringos seem to like. Decor is nothing special and the restaurant only seats about 20 people.....But Noooooo, Asian Bowl is so much MORE! It is Burmese heaven! Sure, they have some standard Chinese take-out dishes for "those" people, but their true customers are the ones who appreciate and are thankful for their Burmese dishes. Believe it or not, Burmese cuisine is not so easy to get in NY. Asian Bowl is a true treat. What a menu! There are so many Burmese dishes (Column A on their menu) that I didn't even know which ones to try first. Luckily, I went with a party of 5 and we ate family style; sharing 6 different dishes. Yay for my foodie friends! Eating family style is the way to go. Asian Bowl is a family run restaurant and the owner/staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. You can tell that alot of care and pride goes into their food prep! If you're new to Burmese food, don't be intimidated when ordering their Burmese dishes! The owner is more than happy to suggest dishes and answer any question you may have. Customer service is top-notched! Here are the outstanding dishes we tried tonight. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. They were ALL delicious: #37 Latphat Thoke (Tea Leaf Salad) $12.99 #38 Gin Thoke $12.99 #31 Pa Zun Chin Thoke $11.99 #26 Nan Gyi Thoke $10.99 #28 A Thote Sone $10.99 #43 Grilled pork neck/shoulder w.papaya salad and sticky rice $19.99 Some dishes may be spicy, so let your server know how spicy you'd prefer your dishes. My party and I ordered "spicy" but most of us didn't think it was spicy enough for us. Next time, we will order extra spicy! I'm already plotting my next visit, which will be very soon! I'm looking forward to trying their other Burmese dishes. Thanks, and see you soon! read more

I tried Burmese food for the first time about four years ago in San Francisco (Burma Superstar) and fell in love. It is always at the top of my list when I visit San Francisco. In NYC I would travel all the way from Forest Hills to Bensonhurst just to get Burmese food at "Together" but they closed down about a month ago. Now Asian Bowl is currently the only Burmese restaurant in NYC (if you know of others, please let me know!) and it is SOLID. I stumbled upon only because my friend told me he was ordering "Asian food." I passed because "Asian takeout" doesn't appeal to me. Eventually I decided to look at the menu for fun and that's when I realized that I hit the jackpot. Mohinga: I loved the flavor in the broth (I do wish they gave you a little more of it). The flavor is so unique and the crispy split chickpeas on top give it such a fun texture. It tastes just like the Mohinga I had in SF and at Together. Nan Gyi Thoke: similar to the "mixed noodle salad" at Together but it only has one type of noodle. The thick rice noodles are my favorite so I had no problem with that. I thought the flavor was excellent with such a subtle, but present, kick of spice in it. Latphat Thoke: I crave tea leaf salad all the time and this hit the spot! The tea leaf salad here is not as leafy (it was crunchier) as I was used to but the flavor was definitely on point. I would say that this is a must! Sechat Khauk Swai: the flavor in this dish is the most mild of the 4 I tried (and perhaps of all Burmese dishes I've tried). It wasn't bad, but it doesn't pack in a huge unique flavor. I was disappointed that the chicken in it wasn't flavored at all. I think if the chicken had some marinade on it then it wouldn't tied the dish together. I cannot wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. This is the definition of "hidden gem." read more

Pleasant surprise to find Burmese food in this neighborhood. Ordered the classic dishes to see how it compare to the homemade versions I'm used to. The mohinga was on point and was really hearty and delicious-- it's made with hopefully catfish which is what I was used to, and a immersion of ginger lemongrass, onion garlic goodness. The ohnoh koi swe wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but nevertheless a good noodle soup. It was way too sweet for a coconut noodle soup. I also ordered the khauk swai thoke which was interesting but not something I would order again. We came here on a weeknight and it was packed with other people. It's a small restaurant that fits maybe 10 people? But I'm eager to bring my parents here because there aren't many Burmese rests in nyc. read more

With limited Burmese restaurants in NYC, my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to discover the hidden gem that is Asian Bowl! Asian Bowl is an unassuming little restaurant tucked away on a side street, but they serve up some great Burmese food. Review will be based on the Burmese dishes - I haven't tried the Chinese food here. Mohinga here is solid. The portions aren't that big, so between my boyfriend and I, we sometimes order 3 orders if that's all we're getting. It comes with all the fixings - noodles, hard-boiled egg, a crispy split chickpea fritter, cilantro, lemon, and crushed red chili. The soup is comforting and flavorful without being overwhelmingly fishy. I also really enjoy the A Thote Sone here - it's tasty and packs a punch with the spice. We've also tried a few other things that I wasn't a huge fan of, but I can see how others may like it. The ohnoh kawt swe (coconut noodle soup) erred a bit on the sweet side, and wasn't quite it for me. The pazun chin thoke (pickled prawn salad) also wasn't a favorite - the texture of the shrimp threw me off, but I did enjoy the spice level. Definitely looking forward to coming back! I'm excited to try other Burmese dishes here. read more

Even though it's used to be an Asian restaurant (Chinese restaurant: menus available), skip those options and go try the Burmese dishes. It's not a big place. There were a few tables so get there early or have some patience while the patrons finish eating. We tried: A Kyaw Sone - fried vegetable with tarmarind chili sauce. It's spicy if you can't handle chili. Nan Gyi Thok - thick rice noodles, hard boiled egg, onion, cilantro, crispy split chickpeas. Pork Grilled Shoulder Beef Curry Gin Thoke - salad of pickled ginger, dried shrimp, crushed peanuts, fried garlic, sesame seeds. Mixed Vegetables Thee Sone Curry -- root vegetables Burmese Fish Noodle Soup (Mohinga) - rice noodles, Burmese fish soup, fried yellow pea, cilantro, onion, boiled egg. This is alright though I had more flavorful ones. Overall it was delicious. They made sure our water glasses were full and checked in on us to make sure the food is good. My friend advised me that some of the dishes are really traditional dishes and it's well made. My one small issue is the Mohinga though wasn't as flavorful as previous ones that I had. If you never had it, you should try it and make your own decision. We inquired if we can bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal. The restaurant accommodated us so if you want to bring a bottle of wine, you might want to check with them first. Enjoy. read more

I can't believe I didn't discover this place until now given how much I love Burmese food. I've only gotten takeout so far because of COVID but I loved everything I tried so far. I usually just call ahead and pick up the food about 20 min. later. * Mohinga (Burmese fish noodle soup) - Make sure you try the mohinga! So far I have only been able to get Mohinga in the Bay area and Philly. The mohinga here is just as delicious and flavorful. They add fried crispy split chickpeas, boiled egg, and something that is similar to youtiao for extra crunch. I'm so happy I found a place to get mohinga consistently. * Nan Pyar Thote (dry noodle with chicken) - My second favorite dish because it's spicy and flavorful. I like the version with the flat rice noodles, but sometimes they run out and will sub with other noodles. This is the same as the Nan Gyi Thoke but with wider noodles. * Latphat Thoke (fermented tea leaf salad) - The description says "hundred minuscule distinct shift in crunch". The description is weird, but they weren't lying. The salad is super crunchy. I've gotten tea leaf salad at places where the salad is mostly lettuce. Glad to see it's not the case here. * A Kyaw Sone (fried vegetables with tamarind sauce) - The portion of this was huge, like x2 what it looks like in the pictures. It consisted of fried kale?, zucchini, and potatoes. It was too oily for me. The oil soaked through the breading and left a pool in the foil. * Ohnoh Kawt Swe (coconut chicken noodle soup) - This reminded me of Indonesian Soto Ayam. More mild and coconut-y. I prefer the mohinga which has a stronger flavor. The toppings and noodles are the same. I can't wait to try more Burmese dishes here! read more

How have I never reviewed this place before?? If you are familiar with Burmese food or want to try something different try the A thote sone ( Burmese rainbow noods), mohinga ( fish stew noods) or tea leaf salad. If you want to try something more "safe"- try the grilled pork neck ( it is all meat, not bone like I expected) with papaya salad and sticky rice or the OhNo Kaw swe which is coconut chicken soup noodles. Remember to adjust the spiciness level if you are sensitive. read more

My preferred Asian take out spot in the neighborhood ever since they changed management. Note they don't serve sushi here as those old menu photos are from previous management. During the pandemic we order lunch from here more often. Their lunch box special is always great with fresh veggies. (Though I recommend sticking to the chicken over the beef). We tried the daily special item and really enjoyed the green sauce with the pork, papaya salad, and the chicken Mei fun. Definitely will reorder this item. read more
