Best food court in NYC !!!…read more I have probably ate at 1,000 different stalls inside the New World Mall food court over the years, so let me be its 1,000th review. Seems fitting. Considering I just did another mini food tour with my friends today, this place has been my go to for a quick bite in Flushing since its inception. Not a whole lot of the stalls have lasted over the years, but a handful remain, while the new entrants keeps the food court interesting. Below is the current list of vendors as of May 2025. I also added my favorite item from some of my usual spots. #2 Chongqing Zaier (Yunnan) #3 Ke Lai Qin (Hunan) - chili fish head #4 Joe's Steam Rice Roll (Cantonese) - shrimp roll #5 Tarim Uyghur Cuisine (Uyghur) - lamb skewer #6 A Zhong (Taiwanese) - thread noodle soup #7 Kung Fu Tea (Boba Shop) #8 Grilled Squid (Korean, Chinese) #9 Xiao Luo Luo (Guanxie) #10 Xiang Ba Ye (Hunan) #11 Piaoxiang Yuan (Dongbei) - potato noodles #12 Tiger Sugar (Boba Shop) - black sugar milk tea #13 Gong Cha (Boba Shop) #14 Lanzhou Handmade Noodle (Lanzhou) #16 Laoma Ma La Tang (Szechuan) - mixed dry pot #18 Eight Beautitudes (Korean) #19 Chong Qung Xiao Mian (Szechuan) - spicy noodle #20 Yozi Duck Vermicelli Soup (Shanghai) - duck soup #21 Nai Brother (Szechuan) - sauerkraut fish #22 Mr. Pang (Taiwanese) #23 Ramen & Udon (Japanese) #24 Tian Fu (Szechuan) #25 Chick Rocks (Chicken Shop) #26 Mojoilla Fresh (Taiwan) - egg waffle #27 Royal Queen (Cantonese) - roast meats #28 Xi'an Cuisines (Xian) - lamb burger #29 Liu Liu Sheng Jian (Shanghai) - soup dumplings #30 C/K Dumplings & Noodles (Dongbei) - dumplings #31a O'Sun Teriyaki (Japanese) #31b Wang's Beef Offal House (Cantonese) - beef I do wish this place was cleaner, smells better and have free wifi service. However, I'm here for the great food options and can overlook quite a bit. Therefore, though there are shortcomings, I block it all out and just enjoy what they do offer, which is large variety of delicious cuisines from around China/Asia.

Went to new world mall for the soup dumplings, also tried a hot chicken spot (Chick Rocks)…read more The sandwich will definitely keep you full, it can get a little too much though with the fried taste. Made my stomach feel not so clean after but it was good! The soup dumplings were okay, I don't think it's the best or worst I've had. The food court has no reception and can get very packed, especially since this place gets talked about a lot. The food court also has cool vending machines with blind boxes that are sometimes hard to find which is nice. If you live here it's pretty convenient place to stop by.

I love visiting food halls, and Urban Hawker is no exception. There were plenty of seats, and you…read moreare expected to clean up after you're done with your food - Kueh Lapis, (4/5): such a fun dessert! I liked peeling the layers (though some didn't peel perfectly). It is mildly sweet and reminds of Filipino Biko - Stingray Fried Rice, (3.75/5): this was my first time having stingray and it's actually sooo tasty. the meat reminds of a sweet crab and flaky fish. though I was a fan of the stingray, the fried rice was just ok. Considering this came from a stall specializing in fried rice I subtracted some points - Ayam Gulai, (4.25/5): I didn't know quite what I was ordering, but I'm so glad I did! This stall makes their own chili sambal and it's sooo shrimpy, punchy and complex. It added a lot to the dish, with the curry chicken + slight hint of coconut flavors and the meaty paste on top of the rice. everything works pretty well together here - just the egg was a bit overcooked and the chicken was also just slight overdone. I would go to this stall again! Nice find- I like it a lot!

Loved this spot! I ended up coming here twice during my trip to NYC. The location is super…read moreconvenient in Midtown, just steps from Rockefeller Center, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to get a table for three both times without much wait. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable for Midtown Manhattan. Over the two visits, I tried both versions of the Hainanese chicken rice, and both were delicious. The food came out incredibly fast, and I especially appreciated that the meals included Chinese broccoli. I also tried the stir-fried noodles from Hainan Jones and the beef rendang from Padi D'NYC -- both were excellent. Overall, everything we ordered was flavorful, satisfying, and served quickly. Definitely a great spot for a casual and tasty meal in Midtown!

Food was made to order quickly and both bowls were large. However both days I got takeout since all tables were full by the time we got there. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick and filling lunch!

What a fun stop for lunch! Stalls and booths with individual vendors selling a diverse array of…read moreethnic cuisines. Many choices pretty much from all over the world. This is an especially great place if your party cannot otherwise decide in a single type of cuisine. Everyone can fan out and find something that pleases them. We got there right before 11am, which is opening hour for many of the vendors. Everything seems ostensibly "carryout", even if the place where many carry what they buy are the shared tables in central spaces. We spent around $20 each for lunch, which is cheap when you compare it to many NYC options a cut above fast food. For quality and value, it'd be much easier to do worse than here than to do better.

The selection is diverse and modern, so everyone can find something they like. I like the concept of multiple kitchens in one place and the pleasant atmosphere for a short break.

They have food and dessert vendors on the first floor and rooftop area on the 5th floor. There were dj's on both floors. We chilled on the rooftop area where there were tons of seating. They have a large dining area to sit and eat and drink. They had chairs and couches to chill and enjoy NYC water and Skyviews. The DJ (DJ Stretch) on the rooftop was amazing and played a lot of old school music from different genres. The venue was packed on Valentines day (2025). There was also an amazing violinist, (Judithviolinist on IG). This is definitely a place to check out and get your grub on or just sit and chill. There's tons of seats available picnic style or lounge/ sofa seating.

They have a variety of different options and all ca be preferred directly from table via QR codes. Our group ordered smash burgers, quesadillas and a Reuben. We were also able to order beers directly to us. The burgers and quesadilla and chips came out almost immediately but the Reuben took for-ev-er. To the point that all our other food was gone and we had to go check on if the order actually went through. It did...they were just sloooooow. Upside, it was tasty. This spot also has a great rooftop area with excellent views of the bridge. On nicer nights it would be a great place to hang out. If your headed over the bridge for a night, this place is worth checking out as it's also right nearby the instagram-able views!

Wish the dressing came on the side but if that'd mean an annoying plastic container, this is fine. And. Actual. Silverware. (this is station-specific, not all establishments in the space have this, like Jase's BBQ next door) Niiiice. Atmosphere-wise, reminded me of any fancy NYC work cafe except there was music, and zero pressure to network. Speaking of work, there is room to do your tapping on your laptop on the taller smaller tables and the booths which line one side

Time Out Market Union Square features seven kitchens, a bar and a stage - there are communal tables and approximately 300 seats, with around 70 of them on the terrace for outdoor dining. Download the Time Out Market Union Square app! I earned some great discounts, including one for my birthday! You can order from multiple restaurants from there and even give your table number for delivery. Conveniently located near Union Square trains. I really like the variation of vendors (though at least one has changed since my previous visit.) Plenty of delicious food options that could cater to a variety of dietary restrictions/preferences, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. It it a large bright space with plenty of seating, including at the bar. My most recent visit was the first time seeing/using the large outdoor area. My bartender Xavier and our server Mario are wonderful! Most recent visit was with a large group and we were able to get two tables in the back terrace on a lovely evening before happy hour was over. This visit we shared some pizzas from Fornino and I also ordered separately from Kebabwala. I also had a couple happy hour spritzes. There are lunch specials that I'll keep in mind if I'm ever in the area during those times.
