    Tonkotsu Ramen to go
    Jackson Y.

    Located with New World Mall food court in downtown Flushing is Dawan Ramen. Food: I ordered the following to go: Tonkotsu Ramen - broth was separated from the ramen and ingredients in a clever to go bowl that stacked together. This survived my trip home and saved the ramen from being overly soggy. The ramen itself was very good as they gave a generous portion of pork. (4/5) Takoyaki - this did not survive the drive home very well as it was soggy and mushy. The flavor was good, but the texture was a disappointment. This is not really the restaurants fault as fried foods aren't generally good half hour later. Ambience - the food stall looked very clean and all the menu options had pictures to clearly see what you are ordering.

    I just went here today at around 1pm I thought the food was really good! I was pleasantly surprised as it was the first time I ate here and I'm not crazy familiar with Japanese food outside of takoyaki and ramen. I ordered the unagi don which was very filling and delicious. It was nice and tender. I don't have that much to say here but I felt like the price was fair and what I tried was great.

    While quite a few stalls have unfortunately closed shops due to COVID, there have been three new ones since our last visit to the New World Food Court. Dawan Ramen being one of them. The signage and décor were quite impressive, giving it an upscale feel. We were immediately drawn to it. Despite having the word "ramen" in its name, it has substantial representations of udons, dons (rice bowls), and appetizers, in addition to its 6 ramen offerings.   The two overhead displays continually advertised 4 combo entrees. I was particularly enticed by the rice combo: Poached Egg Beef Don with Karaage Chicken. It actually also came with a cup of miso soup and a can of soda.  All for $13.50 tax included.  The serving for the Karaage was more generous than I had expected. The beef was very thinly sliced and very tender and tasty. The rice was bouncy, cooked perfectly.  And the runny poached egg topping provided the final touch, knocking it out of the park.   The person taking orders wasn't particularly friendly, but the food more than made up for it.  I'm definitely a fan.  Next time I hope to try their flagship ramen dishes.

    The karaage was juicy packing a ton of flavor with its seasonings, while the gyudon beef was tender with a eggy yolk on top.

    Katsu Don

    Went to the mall's food court for a quick bite to eat. For a Friday afternoon, it was surprisingly not too crowded. It was easy to find a place to sit down after getting my food. Even though this is a ramen/udon place, the employees speak in Mando (and English if you need it). I ordered the Katsu Don and paid with cash, although a sign by their register said they would accept card if the purchase is $15 or more (mine was only $9.50). There is an option to either eat it at the food court or take it to go. My food only took around 5 minutes to be prepared, and it came with miso soup. Everything was a good temperature and the katsu was nice a crispy. Overall the food met my expectations for food court food. Definitely nothing special; I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, and if I went to the food court I would probably try a different restaurant over eating at this location again anytime soon. However for the price, the speed at which is was prepared and the quality of the food was satisfactory.

    This is one of the food stalls inside the New World Mall food court. I had the miso ramen here. The ramen bowl was below average in quality. The broth was very bland and watery. It is supposed to be thick, rich and flavorful. They do give you a decent amount of noodles, but that is about the only positive thing to note. If you are going to pay $14 for a ramen bowl, there are much better choices out there in Flushing.

    Udon ramen
    Hank C.

    Small ramen/udon shop in the Queen's Mall Food Court in the basement; they charge $5 deposit for the bowl. Their base pork broth udon bowl has a soft-boiled egg, two kinds of seaweed, a slice of the fish cake and four pieces of fatty pork, which isn't bad at all, though I would rather have a stronger white miso version, this will do on a cold day.

    So far got food here a few times and the experience has been fine. Located in the downstairs food court of New World Mall, Dawan Ramen offers ramen, udon, and other Japanese fare. I initially chose to get food here on a whim and was craving takoyaki, there's also another nearby stall that offered takoyaki but I rather have bonito flakes than pork floss. I also got their karaage, which in reality is more like Taiwanese popcorn chicken with basil leaves---but it was still yummy. Their matcha almond pudding was also quite delicious, if you're a fan of sweet almond pudding don't pass on this. Moving onto food, I ate the combo with Tomato beef udon and takoyaki. The tomato beef udon is tangy which is right up my alley (I'm also get easily satisfied with udon). So sometimes they include a lemon and sometimes they don't, what's the purpose of the lemon? Not sure, aesthetics? I don't think the lemon really serves much purpose to be honest. They also have a combo where you can get udon and takoyaki, just a heads up you will get 4 takoyaki pieces instead of the usual 6 pieces. The taste of the takoyaki is decent, you'll end up with nicely rounded takoyaki (not the half round/half flat microwave takoyaki), the takoyaki pieces have a small pieces of octopus--so don't expect to get huge pieces. I also got the donburi for the family once, the donburi is heavy. There's a lot of rice so it's super filling. One thing I also like is how they pack the food when you do take out. The ramen/udon and toppings are separated from the broth. Theres a plastic top in between the broth and noodles. Overall is it gourmet? No. But it's a unique addition to the food court, it's fast an efficient (orders are ready within 10-15 minutes), and the food is decent.

    We had never been to flushing but I had heard the food court in the New World mall was the place to go for food. Just make sure you have cash on you. This place was so good. The ladies that helped us didn't know much English but at least they had photos for the items on the menu. I had the spicy ramen which came in a beautiful cast iron pot and lid, so for a food court place the presentation was incredible. My husband had a soba noodle dish which also came in a really nice bowl and it was also really good. I think it might have been at the top of our list for foods we ate on our trip. Definitely going back in the future.

    Tomato ramen
    X P.

    Got the tomato beef ramen... was not a fan.. Beef tasted too squishy/fatty and I don't even like tomatoes but got the tomato ramen. Did not taste good. Bad choice by me but the noodle texture and amount they put in was promising. I believe if I got any other flavor I would have really enjoyed this.

    It's a bit too early for the day to have such a strong bone soup which the shop claimed 8 hour-broth. PuDuo bone broth Ramen. I will reserve a star for them when they start to serve with a ceramic bowl again.

    side of agedashi tofu
    Matt L.

    I only got one thing here: agedashi tofu. This is a new spot, which is a little out of place in the food court. Most of the places in the food court are either chinese, korean, or some type of middle ground between the two. I would typically say that places like this which don't fit are taking a gamble but I was pleased with the tofu that I ordered. I think overall I would come again, especially since the tofu only costs like $4. they also serve ramen here too, so if you want to try that, go ahead.

    Unagi don in a to-go box
    Annie S.

    This is usually my go-to spot in New World Mall if I'm craving a quick ramen bite or a simple rice bowl. Not for those who are looking for fancy authentic Japanese food, but good enough to satisfy casual cravings for a really good price. I usually get the tonkatsu ramen ($9) or the beef rice bowl, both of which are really good. The ramen comes with sliced pork that melts in your mouth as you chew, along with a tea egg (slightly overcooked but understandable since the Chinese usually don't like their eggs too raw), seaweed, and some vegetables like bamboo shoots. The broth is also decent and you can adjust the thickness size of noodles you order! The unagi don ($~11) was delicious but a tad bit too sweet for me. I was really thirsty afterwards, so I'd recommend having some water at hand if you're going to order it. The beef bowl is amazing! You get so much meat for a great price ($9). I couldn't finish it and still had lots of beef left over at the end. They do have a $5 deposit so don't forget to return the bowl they give if you're eating to-stay.

The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 9 Overall: 7 This restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine, as well as some dishes from Wenzhou. Interesting enough, while the owner is from Wenzhou, their main chef is from Fu Zhou. Hence I definitely see some Fukinese influences here as well, such as their famous Buddha Jumped Over The Wall Soup that requires advance notice. Anyway, the reason I first visited this restaurant was because they have a great lunch special from Monday to Saturday. You can choose three items and a soup for $8, or four items and a soup for $9. I gave that a try a few months back and thought the food was solid. Due to my first experience, I decided to come try their dinner offerings with my family recently. We ordered a bunch of dishes and was overall please. While the best dish of the night may have been the Salt & Pepper Pork Chop, it's hard not to enjoy Ginger & Scallion Twin Lobsters for $29.88 right? The Shi Li Xiang Stir-Fry (Mixed Seafood w/ XO Sauce) and Wenzhou Style Dried Tofu w/ Smoked Pork were pretty good too. Unfortunately, the cold appetizers were not as satisfying. While slightly overcooked, the Boiled Pig Kidney was still decent. The Fried Belt Fish was okay, and I did not really like the Jelly Fish & Cumcumber or the freebies they gave us. As a whole, I thought the dinner was not bad and I would return to try more dishes. Nothing here really blew my mind, but the prices are so inviting.

Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse is considered an upscale complete with table linens, celebratory atmosphere, and "all-you-can-eat" venue, typically with a bustling, energetic Southern Brazilian cuisine, serving churrasco barbecue style meats and traditional side dishes.

Party of two for "All For One Price" continuous, fire-roasted cuts brought to your table, endless sides, and seasonal specialties from the Market Table - all for one price. The "Market Table" is a open buffet which includes fruits, vegetables, and seafood. This Market Table is very large. Food is very fresh and abundant readiness. I made the mistake to ruin my appetite with crackers mere hour before sitting at our table. Fire roasted meat distribution to table and carved with patrons catching a piece using a tong. Fogo is a meat lover's paradise for a heavy steak meal. The bottom sirloin or bacon wrapped steak, is noted by Yelpers, always dry. The parmesan crusted pork is flavorful and surprisingly juicy. I highly enjoyed the salmon and Caesar salad. The Green Card system is a signaling device used in traditional Brazilian service, known as Churrasco which allows patrons to control the pace of a meal of the "all-you-can-eat" buffet experience. Green Side (Go): When you place the card with the green side facing up, it signals the Gaucho chefs that you want to continue receiving service. Continuous Service: Chefs will frequently visit your table to carve various fire-roasted meats directly onto your plate, including signature cuts like Picanha (top sirloin), Filet Mignon, Ribeye, and lamb chops. Red Side (Stop): When you need a break or are finished, you turn the card to the red side to signal the chefs to stop. Rosé, Montes "Cherub" Colchagua Valley, Chile Dry, seductive, and elegant, it is a very smooth good finish. This wine may me float. I always have a predilection for wine.

Chocolate Molten cake with vanilla ice cream One word: WOW! Customer service is very attentive and polite with kindness in a celebratory positive mood. Our party of two were inquired if we needed anything during mid-dinning experience and my friend requested Brazilian grilled cheese, espetinhos de queijo with honey. Pão de queijo, Brazilian cheese puff bread is served. High ceilings and there is a large relief statue of Antônio Caringi, Brazilian sculptor (1905-1981). Business cards and mints are abundantly available for grabs. I strongly suggest table reservations in advance, particularly for weekends and holidays as this large dining hall was bewilderingly very quickly filled as we dined on extreme artic cold February, Saturday. Every day can be one's birthday celebration. I think being alive with another tomorrow is a reason to be celebratory. I would surely return for another visit - enter empty stomach.
