This review is based on accompanying my friend to see the TCM doctor/Clinic…read more My friend has been suffering from joint pain and pain in her fingers. She has seen another TCM doctor before but she was recommended Lin Sister. We didn't have an appointment and luckily they were not very busy. You fill out the form and they give you a number. The TCM doctor call you by that number. The clinic entrance is in the back of the shop and up one flight of stairs. We waited for about 15-20 minutes and was seen. He held her wrist and listen/feel the pulse. He asked a bunch of questions and wrote down a bunch of notes. He asked if she was sleeping good? Do you get up to use the bathroom middle of the night? Do you have headaches? Is your mouth dry? Are you pooing once a day? After 15 minutes of this, he gave her a list of Chinese herbal medicines to purchase downstairs. Told her to come back and see him in about a week or two after she is done with the meds. The modern (Americanize) TCM is now in packets and you mix them in hot water for consumption. The boiling actual herbs and ingredients in a pot days are gone! Interesting! Not sure what I make of this but what I can tell you is that my friend didn't feel any difference. I understand it's not magic potion and it takes time. A couple of months later, my friend saw a specialist and had a bunch of testing and blood work. She was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. :-( Consultation $40 Herbal Meds $8 for a set x 7 days.

Three times now I've gone to Lin Sisters when my doctors were not able to help me with whatever…read moreissue I was facing. I had a terrible hives breakout all over me after attending a wedding & my doctors told me I'd have to take a 6 month treatment, & I was also told I should consider doing a weekly allergy shot for a year in order to help my situation. Another time (months later) I was dealing with a situation where I could not grasp anything with my hands without the feeling of pins and needles & heat in my palms. I knew my body was trying to tell me something and for 3 months my doctors just didn't take me seriously to help me figure it out. Both situations I ended up going to Lin Sisters & within a week of what I was dealing with, my symptoms were gone. It's a two week herbal medicine they gave me & honestly within days of taking the tea my symptoms both times had subsided. The third was for my son & again, the symptoms he was dealing with subsided with the herbal tea they prescribed for him. American medicine is just a bandaid whereas holistic medicine will actually search for the root cause & work from there & for that, I am grateful to the work Lin Sisters office does. The front staff & the doctor are truly all very pleasant people & you're for sure in good hands here.

I asked for the bird nest because this is my favorite drink when I lived in Malaysia. They have it! Yay! Most stores in Chinatown carry this. I got the ready made ones. If you buy the raw bird nest then the price is expensive. The ready made is cheaper. I'd like to cook it myself someday; when I hit a jackpot then I'll be back for that one. They also have different types of ginseng roots. To buy ginseng isn't simple. There's a way to look at the ginseng roots, something I learned in Malaysia. I used to eat a piece of layered root daily, a small layer, tiny. This is a perfect store for me! The nice lady who assisted me is probably the owner but not sure. I'll find out next time. She knew right away when I mentioned bird nest. She's lucky I didn't ask for the cat nest! LOL! The cat's adorable and so tamed! I played with the cat a little bit. The store is very organized and clean. Awesome!

I was looking for herbal teas in Chinatown and found this place on Google. They had an assortment…read moreof the popular loose teas like Chrysanthemum, Lavendar, rose buds, jasmine, and ginseng & burdock root. These are sold by the pound. Others are pre packaged tins of tea or the boxed tea bags. They have a variety of herbal pills. They also accept credit card. The woman working there was helpful and mentioned they have a traditional Chinese medicine doctor available. For $20 he could do a consult on any concerns you want to target and prescribe herbs/teas as needed. Just call 20 min in advance and you can be seen for $20. She spoke good English and said she could be a translator if you come in to see the doctor. I'll have to try this sometime! Friendly staff.

Ordered 2 snow nice and originally protein ice cream on ClassPass but they ran out of the ice cream so they subbed it with the waffle protein instead. Was very happy I got to try the waffle bc it's actually really good! Small place but there are some bar stools and tables for Patrons to eat. Service is also really good and accommodating so that's always a plus! I can't tell that the snow ice has Herbalife protein in it so was impressed! My grandma also liked it as did my husband and they're critical of most foods so I'd say we made a great choice. Also really liked the waffle and made me feel like I didn't fully indulge. I'm definitely going to return for a post gym treat! Love that I'm able to hit my macros with delicious treats!

Although the staff speak very little English, they are friendly and are very welcoming. I like that it's a family business. They do use Herbalife products to make their concoctions and it's honestly very good. Even without ClassPass, the prices for each menu item is fairly reasonable. So far I had the compassion tea (made with aloe Vera), protein iced coffee (I enjoyed it- ratio of coffee to protein is balanced) & my favorite is the protein waffle with 3 toppings. They do have combos which I appreciate. Definitely try for a boost! c:

I've seen Japanese, Korean, and Chinese so far in facial care and hair care. And BB creams! What a selection of BB creams! The staff here was very helpful too.

The sales lady approached me and asked me in Chinese if I needed any help but when i told her i didn't understand she spoke to me in English. I told her i didn't need any assistance yet she kept following me around for a bit. This made me uncomfortable and it was easy to tell that I was nervous and awkward, but i know she was following me because I probably came off as some creepy shop lifter or something(I kept browsing and picking up things and I had to check my money in my bag discreetly). That's one thing, you have to know what you want to buy before entering so they can take you seriously, this goes for a lot of cosmetic stores in flushing. They have a large selection of eyeliners, bb creams, skin care products, eyelashes, powders,face masks,skin care etc. What drew me into the store was the bb creams. In the glass window display at the left side of the store, you could see all the brands of bb creams like skin79, lioele,missha etc.. They sell the REAL Skin79 hot pink triple functions bb cream for $30, which is cheaper than fashion city's price, but it definitely be cheaper to buy online. They also have many powders and compacts, I saw that they had some lioele compacts, blushes and bronzers and other asian brands as well. They have so much eyeliner! There was a whole wall/rack of it in the back right hand corner. I bought the MSH eyescream gel liner which was $20.00.I asked her if they had gel eyeliner and she recommended this one stating that she had even used it on her eyes that day. They even had Dolly wink products : eyeliners,eye-shadow palettes,eyelashes + lashes case. The Dolly wink eyeliner was $18-22 dollars which is cheaper than Belle's Beauty lab in the Queen crossings mall next to mango(which sold for $25). It's a great store with a large variety of Asian cosmetics :)
