The purple lamb buns were outstanding. I also loved the chicken and beef options. The teriyaki mushroom wasn't my favorite, but if you like mushrooms, go for it. I skipped the pork for obvious reasons. Everything I tried hit the spot, especially when paired with their hot sauce and soy sauce. The service was fast because it was already made, but it was on a hot wok, things never tasted stale. He being served outside was nice so the atmosphere they're always a part of.

The noodles were flavorful and the perfect texture and generously topped with 5 crisp pickled vegetables: cucumbers, carrot, seaweed, daikon and radish plus fresh cilantro with a light sesame sauce. Sesame sandwich with Asian grilled chicken was everything I always wished a stuffed pizza could be. Doughy and indulgent. Kind of the opposite, health wise, from the salad but a satisfying contrast. Chef is still entertaining customers while keeping the kitchen in efficient motion and doling out free taste samples - so visit soon before the truck gets too popular to offer so much value added on top of the already nice combo meal deals.

I went with two vegetable spring rolls and a mango bubble tea. The bubble tea is done pretty quick, especially since they have a machine that shakes it for them (yes, really). The food took a little while to come out but it was fresh so I can't complain too much. The bubble tea was good but a bit too sweet for my tastes. The spring rolls were very light and flaky. They could have packed a bit more flavor but the dipping sauce they provided took care of that. The two rolls and the tea came to $8.50, which is a bit steep for how little you get but not terrible provided the area they're in. Overall, not a bad place and the chef is very friendly.

Stellar chinese food this is not, but a departure from the last two places we ordered from (Jing Hui and Good Taster) whereupon tasting the food, I literally closed the containers and threw the entire mess in the garbage. I was pretty sure I didn't order the cat in MSG sauce or the fried pigeon dumplings. Blech. Chung Lan Garden brought us straightforward cuisine - edible but not inspiring. Roast Pork over Noodle Soup didn't really taste like much of anything, but the Fried Wontons and Egg Roll were tasty enough, if a little oily. The Sauteed String Beans were not bad - would benefit from a little spice, so I will probably order them spicy next time. I would certainly order from them again given that the options for edible (not even good, but just edible) Chinese food in Harlem has been a chore in and of itself.

This little shop is owned by a mother daughter team inside the Landmark Quest Mall in the heart of…read moreFlushing, behind Joe's Steam Rice Roll. The cuisine they are serving is from Tianjin, China, with a focus on freshly made pancakes with choice of additional proteins and veggies. This concept is unique to me, and only one I have ever since in NYC. Let me start with the good. The large pancakes are made fresh, which takes about 7-8 minutes. It is somewhat dense and quite filling, with a good amount of chew. For $3, it's obviously considered a cheap eats. Unfortunately, without sauce or toppings, it's really not all that flavorful on its own. Therefore, I added some stuff. Since I never had it before and the confusing menus didn't help. I took the suggestion of the daughter to simply make a combination for me that's enjoyable. When I received my pancake, it came with sauce slaughtered on, two pieces of fried chicken fillets, a hot dog, two imitation crab sticks, some fried enoki mushrooms, and lettuce. All the toppings were cooked well, though I really didn't need that many items, especially the hot dog. Wrapping it all together made it about the size of a large open ended gyro. As for the overall taste, it was decent, but not mind blowing in any way. I definitely could have used more sauce. Regardless, it was still somewhat enjoyable, until they told me that it was $17. I was looking for cheap eats and everything else in that hallway is definitely much less. I felt a little bit snookered, especially because I trusted them wholeheartedly. With that said, I will not hold that too much against them because they saw a cash cow willing to spend to taste their "best" and they are just trying to make a buck. If the flatbread sandwich was outstanding, then I probably wouldn't have minded at all. Before I left, I also bought two zhongzi from them for $3 each. One is filled with red bean and the other dates. Pretty small in size, but hopefully quality is good. If not, I don't see myself coming back here often for the pancake, or at least not with so many fillers that add up in price quickly.

Hidden in a far corner of the New World Mall food court, overshadowed by the ice cream crepe stall…read morenext to it, is a stall called Yanbian. But you won't see any English that names it as Yanbian, the name is only written in Chinese and Korean. Yanbian is an autonomous region in Northeastern China where a large population of ethnic Koreans live, and it was after this region for which this Korean Chinese-operated stall in the food court was named. Yanbian has a very small menu of noodles and rice dishes prominently displayed in the front. Under the menu laid a spread of skewered food items such as octopus, beef balls, crab meat, tofu skins, etc. For a mere $1, you may have two skewers of any variety of your choosing. The item to note on the menu here is the Korean cold noodles. This is a bowl of buckwheat noodles served in a chilled broth, perfect to cool you down in hot and sticky summer weather. I did not have to work on July 4th and had wanted to get some dimsum for lunch. But my favourite dimsum restaurant, Ocean Jewels, aka Asian Jewels, was insanely busy at noon and I did not want to brave that crowd. Then I thought I would try the new Grand Restaurant at the top of New World Mall. That restaurant, too, was stupidly crowded. I think the entire Chinese population in Queens decided they wanted dimsum in Flushing on July 4th this year. Dimsum plans abandoned, I headed down to the basement of New World Mall, to the food court. I had cold noodles from Yanbian before, and I remembered how much I liked it, so I went back. A few other people were ordering from the stall, but it wasn't crowded like some of the other popular stalls were. I selected six different skewers and gave them to the lady working the front of the stall, together with an order of cold noodles. Altogether it came out to be $9. The lady took my skewers and gave them to a cook in the back. In about five minutes they came back to the lady boiled and cooked. She carefully squeezed two different kinds of hot sauces and some peanut sauce onto the skewers and handed them over. The cold noodles were also ready at about the same time. A cook laid the bowl of noodles and other ingredients down on a counter, and scooped up some chilled broth with a ladle and carefully ran the broth down into the bowl. The result was a bowl of buckwheat noodles with a few pieces of lean cold cut beef, thinly sliced strips of cucumbers, half a boiled egg, a couple of pieces of watermelon and apple, topped off with gochujang and finely diced peanuts. Yes, the cold noodles were just as delicious as it read. The tender buckwheat noodles swimming in the chilled and slightly sour broth had a cooling effect with every slurp, the pieces of beef and boiled egg added substance, and the watermelon and apple complemented the flavour of the broth with a bit of sweetness. This is the kind of meal you want on a hot and sticky NY summer day.

I'm starting with Stall No. 25  - 天府之国 - which specializes in Sichuan dishes. This place is more focused than the Sichuan place in the Golden Food Court, where favorites like hui guo rou and gong bao qi ding are available. Here's it's mostly a couple of soups, small plates (sadly no hong you chao shou is around) and the noodles. The sole dish I had here was a stunner. The mala liang main or spicy cold noodles are lovingly assembled to order at a transparent counter. There you see the simple genius that goes into creating this dish, much as you would on the streets of Chongqing. There is plenty of numbing spice, but also beans for crunch, a bits of sugar, salt, oil and other not easily discernible ingredients. When mixed and served it burns the tongue in just the right way. Why this isn't on the menu of every neighborhood Chinese place is beyond me. At least it's now available (along with hundreds of other intriguing and quite wonderful dishes) here.
