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.

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.

Katsu Don
Holly H.

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.

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.

Got the mushroom chicken soup ramen. It tastes like toilet water with old soggy noodles. Never again.

I order take out from here all the time. Their tomato beef udon is by far my favorite on the menu. Very good portion sizes for the price.

Maxi’s Noodle - Beef Stew and Wonton Lo Mein

Downtown Flushing, Flushing

There's a "People Love Us on Yelp" sticker at Maxi's Noodle which is basically all that needs to be…read moresaid! Maxi's Noodle is teensy; a sign warns you that tables may be shared. I ate in the enclosed patio which only had two tables, and the inside didn't seem much bigger. There is no bathroom for customers so don't bank on bio breaks here. It's efficient in that I was seated promptly, was able to place my order when I was ready, and the food came out lickety-split. Carry cash for a discount. I ordered the Wonton, Dumpling, & Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($14.75) under the "Popular Items" section of the menu since it seemed sampler-esque. The wontons and dumplings were similar since they both contained shrimp and pork but I leaned towards the dumplings since they also included mushroom, bamboo, wood ear, and chives. The duck egg noodles, beef, and broth rounded out the awesomeness. Can't wait to return with others!

Walked in on a Saturday around 6pm and managed to get the last two top. Don't be surprised if you need to wait a bit on a Saturday or Sunday around lunch. At any rate, get the wonton noodle soup. Or the combo that includes dumpling and dace fish ball if you want to get wild. All the toppings are fat(!!) from the wontons to the dumplings and fish balls. It's great. But for me the real star of the show is those bouncy duck egg noodles. They have a bounce that really puts it at the top of the list for me when it comes to duck egg noodle/wonton noodles. A perfect comfort meal on a cold day. Throw in some vinegar or chili oil between bites and you're in for a treat. Also ordered the (imitation) shark fin soup. It was solid. Texture might not be for everyone, but nice thing to snack on while you wait for your food, but not necessary. Service is quick. The space as I mentioned is small and can feel a little cramped, but they offer takeout if you wanted to just bring it back home. I'd still recommend just dining in though. Overall, great spot. Also there's a decent discount if you pay with cash.

3.5 Overall Decent…read moresized space for the area. They weren't too packed on a weekend afternoon. They seem to get more takeout/delivery orders than dine in. You order on iPad at the table, and the staff is available if you have any questions. When you confirm your order on the iPad, they will confirm with you. Service is friendly and helpful. The food came out quick! Their kitchen is in the basement and they have the dumb waiter sending up food, so very efficient use of space. The Dumplings in Chili Oil (can adjust spice level and cilantro) has added texture with crushed peanuts. We got the regular spicy, but could have gotten extra spicy. They were a decent appetizer but I'd go for something else. The Abalone and Chicken Rice Noodles had decent chicken flavor. There were a couple pieces of dark meat, which I enjoyed. Not sure if there was abalone in here, but if there was, it was nondescript. The rice noodles were well cooked. The Plum Juice had a lovely smokey flavor, along with a lemony flavor form the couple of lemon slices inside. It was not too sweet, though I personally could go for less sugar. Overall, a decent spot for rice noodles. They do have multiple locations, so go to the one near you! No need to go out of your way.

This is my third or fourth time visiting this restaurant in Flushing. It is on Prince Street, on…read morethe same block as Tangram Mall. I've brought friends here because I've always enjoyed their dishes. There also aren't many noodle restaurants left in the neighborhood, so it's nice to have a spot like this. It's a great place to visit on a cold day. The restaurant itself is a decent size. It can get busy in the evenings, but for the most part, you can still find a table. The portions are quite generous, and the service is good. There's minimal interaction with the staff since you place your order through a tablet provided at the table. Be mindful if you have peanut allergies definitely let them know so they don't sprinkle peanut on certain dishes. Overall, this is a great place to get a warm noodle soups during Winter season.
