Sometimes being in Flushing and not speaking Chinese of any kind is an adventure in itself. Fortunately, in Flushing, that can lead to some amazing food. The spicy cold noodles were equally amazing. This has now become a new must stop when we are in Flushing. ENJOY!!!

There are only 7 seats which were all taken when we arrived. I did manage to snag one before the order came out. The order was cumin lamb bun. It was ready quickly. It was filled with chopped spicy lamb and grilled onions. They call it a Chinese hamburger. The bun is handmade. We picked all the onions out. It was somewhat greasy, spicy and the flavor was lacking. Too bad but live and learn. We've had others that are much better. Maybe the noodles are better.

If you're looking for authentic handmade dumplings in Flushing, Northern Dumpling King is…read moredefinitely worth a visit! They offer an incredible variety of freshly made dumplings, and everything is prepared with care. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and generous portions. We ordered the pork and scallion dumplings, and they were absolutely delicious, fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the difference when the dumplings are made by hand. There are a few tables if you'd like to eat there, making it a great spot for a quick lunch or casual dinner. With so many different dumplings on the menu, I can't wait to come back and try more. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic dumplings!

Here you'll find some superb and less commonly available Dongbei regional specialties like the lobo xian bing (fried radish pancake), which uses a delicious and not too pungent green radish variety. The vegetable dumplings here are really fantastic. The slightly thick dough has that much sought-after "QQ texture". Note for vegetarians: the vegetable dumplings are not available every day, so call ahead to ask.

For authentic Canto bbq roasted meats, this is your go to stop…read more The ambiance is minimal but service here is quick. You will see all your meat options literally hanging from the window. On this visit I ordered a bbq roast pork and a soy sauce chicken and roast duck (2 meats) rice plate to go. Each order comes with rice, stir fried cabbage and soy sauce and ginger scallion oil as condiment. All their bbq/roasted meats are tasty and it just depends what you have a hankering for. My personal favorite is the soy sauce chicken and it is very flavorful and moist. I like that it's not overcooked as I can reheat it to perfection. You can purchase said meats by the pound and or as a rice plate. Side note, bring cash as this place and many others in Flushing is "Cash Only".

Corner 28 is a casual Cantonese-style roast meat spot in Flushing that focuses on classic Hong…read moreKong-style barbecue dishes. We walked up to a storefront where the display of hanging roasted meats immediately gave the feeling of a traditional roast meat shop, the kind of place where the sight of glossy char siu and crispy-skinned duck sets the tone before we even ordered. The space was straightforward and functional, designed for quick meals rather than a long dining experience, and the steady flow of customers coming in for takeout reflected its role as a practical stop for a satisfying, affordable meal. The roast meats are the highlight, especially the char siu and roast duck served over rice. We ordered a few plates and found the meat tender and well seasoned, with the char siu having a nice caramelized edge and the duck retaining a good balance of richness and crispness. The portions were generous for the price, and the combination of tender meat, rice, and sauces made it a strong value option in the area. The three-meat platter was a great way to try different varieties in one meal, and the quality of the roasting came through clearly across the different meats we sampled. The ordering process was simple, making it a convenient grab-and-go option, and the cash discount added to the appeal. The staff moved through orders with efficiency, and the food came out hot and well assembled. While the atmosphere was basic, Corner 28 delivered exactly what it focused on: satisfying Cantonese barbecue at a reasonable price, the kind of no-fuss spot that works well when you know what you want and want it fast.

I've known about this place for years, ever since I saw it on Strictly Dumplings YouTube channel…read more Totally kicking myself for not trying it sooner because it quickly became my favorite choice for Lamb Noodle Soup in Flushing. Maybe that was meant to be because now I struggle to want to try any other of the countless good restaurants out here. A huge bowl of Lamb Noodle Soup is only $10. No tipping required. Order at the counter, pick it up when prompted and sit anywhere you like. After you're done, there's a spot to place your trash, trays and bowl. They even have an English menu. +$1 If you get it Mala which I recommend if you can handle some spice because it adds so much flavor. There's condiments on the table so you can adjust the soup to your liking. The soup itself is light but complex, with a rich lamb broth that doesn't have any gaminess. A lot of Chinese folks like it the way it is but for American tastes, I think it would come off as slightly bland. I like to have a few sips adding only salt and white pepper to appreciate the original taste. Then I doctor it up with black vinegar, even more white pepper and their chili which is actually spicy. It becomes addictively delicious. The wide hand pulled noodles which they stretch and cook to order has the perfect bite and chew. It also comes with glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, shredded seaweed, bok choy and cilantro. I could seriously eat this everyday!

I wanted to eat there so what happens is you order with the lady on the counter, Food is prepped, you pay and then you get the food and the counter and eat at the table. There is an optional tip jar at the counter. Beef noodles large was $10. Clear broth soup. Thin frozen beef pieces which were mid. Noodles were def fresh and was a bowl together made sense. Dumplings came out later and I got the pork and cabbage. Mid sized. Pretty damn good. All in all this place is solid. They also love to serve heinkens. Everyone was drinking them. Cash. No tax.

Cuisine: 9 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 3 Value: 10 Overall: 9 Maybe the worst kept secret in Flushing, this is where I go for the best meal at the cheapest price. I swear Yelp must have removed my review because I was the first person to review this second location of a popular eatery specializing in cuisine from Fuzhou, China. It is a sister restaurant to the ultra popular Shu Jiao Fu Zhou in Chinatown. I've been following this shop for decades when they were still part of the Golden Mall with a different name. Anyway, let me shower them with one more glowing review. Even with the recent price increases, for a mere $20 dollars, you can still feed a family of four. How many restaurants can you find nowadays that fit this criteria? No true cheap eats food tour in Flushing is complete without making a stop here. As for quality, they have imho the best Pork & Chive Dumplings (K. 猪肉韭菜水饺) in Flushing, along with the best Wheat Noodles in Peanut Sauce (A. 拌面). I also get a few other items like Mini Pork Dumplings (E. 燕丸), Mini Pork Wontons (扁肉), and Fish Balls (D. 鱼丸). The menu is in Chinese only, but don't get intimidated. Check my pictures for exact items to order. Besides, at these prices, you can't make too terrible of a mistake right? I don't need to tell you that this place is a dive and service is minimal (but fast). However, no one eating here regularly gives 2 cents about that stuff. Just focus on the freshly made delicious food you're getting for less than any fast food chain out there.

We had to share a table, but it was fairly clean, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. There are various soups and buns on the menu, but their signature offering is the $3 unlimited breakfast buffet available before 10:30 am. The buffet might be a misnomer because it consists of 3 types of congee and 3 different drinks. You can choose any or all. I had the rice congee because it looked the best, and "orange juice" which tasted like Tang (which I like anyway). A staff member also gave us a, I think complimentary, sweet congee. Don't go out of your way, but if you're in the area and feel like having some congee, you can't go wrong for $3. I enjoyed my meal, and rate the eatery 4 stars.

Pork Chives and Shrimp (15 pieces) $16…read more My bestie makes the trip to Flushing once a month to see me, and usually I pick where we eat--but this time, she sent me a reel from @mubereats and wanted to check this spot out. So off we went. When we walked in, it's definitely a small, takeout-focused place (there's literally a sign that says takeout only). We did spot a tiny table with two stools and asked if we could sit--luckily, she gave us a friendly nod. The menu is actually pretty extensive, with different fillings depending on whether you go boiled or fried. If there's pork & chives, that's always my go-to--but we spotted pork, chives and shrimp and decided to be a little bougie. It was only $1 more, so obviously we had to. I usually prefer fried dumplings over boiled--I hate when boiled ones dry out and stick together - personal preference that's all She served them on a plate instead of a takeout container, which was such a nice touch. They looked so good, she even snapped a photo of them herself. And wow--these dumplings were so good. Super juicy, packed with flavor, and honestly borderline soup dumplings with how much juice was inside. They definitely don't skimp on the filling either--each dumpling had a solid piece of shrimp, not just tiny bits mixed in where you can barely taste it. The wrapper was perfect too--not too thin, not too thick. Just enough to hold all that juicy filling without feeling doughy. They've got soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili oil available, along with little takeout containers if you need them. Overall, I was really impressed. Highly recommend checking this place out.
