  • replying to u/CreamyBagelTime: I got it with noodles and thought it was good but not mind blowing as I had hoped, mostly because the noodles weren't great, kind of over cooked.

    I agree and the crab roe was too delicate imo. texture and taste was very similar to runny eggs. sorry op but I think this spot is overhyped and certainly overpriced.

  • replying to u/stinkyyamalinky: I got back from week in Queens, my hotel was in Flushing. Adding to the great input below, and on all the other searches, here's my non-local opinions. I'm guessing you won't be there at 7am when most bakeries open. But if you are then please try the $1.90 "sweet corn" pastry at Maxim Bakery. Literally stopped me in my tracks as I walked across street to Eight Jane. Speaking of Eight Jane, I got their $5 breakfast crepe and did not go spicy. I should have because my gigantic hot crepe was bland. Next trip I'll skip Eight Jane. Dinner option is Malay. Warning: the street in front is Flushing's main prostitution hangout. Get the #164 noodle dish. $10 cash, amazing, if you like shrimp. Bonus: turn left after Malay, there are several deeeeelicious window pickup options from duck to sesame seed balls. Too bad the hookers are rubbing dudes' bellies and making things awkward. The basement food court. Don't have pic of receipt or stall name. The stir fried hand pulled noodle was $13, and the duck pieces were meager, more bone than meat. But it was a hearty container of delicious veggies and noodles. I would get another meat next time. Or just go to another stall. Most dishes $12-ish. It was one of my more expensive dishes on the trip. The cart on Prince with lamb balls for $5 was out of balls the entire week. Don't waste your time with Molly Tea. The line is out the door, the inside is packed. Opens at 11am, should've seen what the hype was about then, but by then I was…

    New World Mall is cool, New York Food Court is worth checking out for Xie Bao alone.
