    Strawberry Shortcake
    Alyssa D.

    Checked out this spot as it was one of the only places in New Flushing Mall that took Apple pay. Though the drink was expensive, it was actually pretty good. I chose to get the feature drink because the pics of it sold me and it looked pretty tasty. I don't know if I'd pay $8 again for it, but it was pretty good, and that cup was HUGE. I couldn't finish it so I had my boyfriend finish it for me.

    Ube Bubble Milk tea with Puff Cream and Freshly squeezed honey lemon jasmine green tea
    Emily L.

    I got the ube milk tea with taro cream puff and honey lemon jasmine green tea. I really wanted to like the drinks, but I did not taste the ube in the milk tea at all (has almost a medicine aftertaste). I ended up throwing away the drink after a couple of sips. The honey lemon jasmine tea was better--it was refreshing, but maybe a tad too sweet for my liking. Also, I could not taste the jasmine green tea much (so it tasted more like honey and lemon water). The service was good. The price is also a bit on the higher end.

    Strawberry Jasmine Tea with Salted Cheese ($6 - Large)

    Try: Strawberry Jasmin Tea with Salted Cheese. Why: Refreshing! They used real strawberries and blended it in jasmine tea and topped it with salted cheese foam. The salted cheese actually complements the tea, it's not too salty but slightly sweet, and it adds a thicker texture when you drink it. Notes: Service could be better. There were only two people in front of me when I arrived at 1pm on a Sunday but both workers seemed rushed and did not smile at all.

    Lemon yakult with aloe
    Anna L.

    Happy Lemon is located in the food court of Queens Crossing. The drinks cost a little bit more than I am used to but they offer some unique and interesting combinations. I tried the lemon yakult with aloe without realizing what yakult was (it's those small fermented milk drinks you find in Asian supermarkets). I found the drink very good and refreshing, however it was hard to get all aloe chunks due to similarly sized ice chunks. Everytime I tried to suck up aloe chunk I wound up with ice. It would be better if the ice chunks were larger or exclude it altogether.

    26. That's the number of exes I've taken to Happy Lemon. What a coincidence.

    With a little rearranging, this could be named after how delighted the owner is to have fired Melanie (Happy No Mel), or how I feel about large cantaloupes (Happy Melon), but instead we have this concept which - I assume - in East Asia is completely typical and ordinary. However in the USA, it's unique, original, and somewhat bizarre. Inside the NY Mall Food Court, which is on the North side of Roosevelt, one and a half blocks west of main. It's in the back, on the right. Other highlights of the court include Mango Mango Dessert. The concept of Happy Lemon is, well... sour lemony drinks and slushies of all sorts, which make you squint your eyes from the bitterness and break out in a big Happy Lemon smile from the hyper sugariness. I've tried at least 5 things off their menu and I still can't tell you what I like here. I certainly like to add different fruits to the lemon because otherwise it's more sour than the girl in the Stone Temple Pilots song with Sarah Michelle Gellar (the girl you downloaded pix of in your parent's cellar when you were a braindead AOL-er). The lemon mango drink and the originality just about edge this place over the line to 5/5, but it's close, and I'm a bit disappointed by the spit guard they wear sometimes because I enjoy (and dearly miss) the taste of employee spit which really adds texture. Be careful what you order. Some of these drinks are so sour, that when she drank them, Ronda Rousey changed her name to Ronda Sourey.

    Green tea with salted cheese

    I came to try their salted cheese drinks since I was having dinner in the Queens Crossing mall anyways. A lot of people told me to come try their salted cheese drinks. I ordered the small salted cheese green tea drink. They had chocolate but I didn't think that would taste good. It surprisingly was not that salty and still a little sweet. I could still taste the green tea. There was a lot of cheese foam that remained in the cup that I didn't bother drinking at the end. I really liked the plastic cup it came in since the cup was pretty durable and not that flimsy. The staff were very nice and fast in preparing my order. I would come back here to try their other drinks if I'm ever in the area. The strawberry drinks look interesting.

    Cute lil number thingy , so when ur drinks are ready your number will be called
    Virginie L.

    Okay, I;m a picky person. This applies to food, movies, music, etc So yeah I'm hard to please even if others are like "IT's so good, it's amazing....blah blah blah " So!! In flushing there's a new food court. Of course, being a foodie and a curious person; I had to check it out. Once you step it , you'll think you're in new world mall. It looks super similar in every way. I was looking around and happy lemon caught my eyes since the BF wanted a drink. We were looking at the menu and I was iffy . Since it's Flushing and there's already so many bubble tea/ drink places. I right away assumed it'll be all powdered, sugary and a waste of money. The lady behind the counter called us over and we kept saying we're just looking. But she was nice and gave us a menu, saying to take it with us. She also told us that they are having a promotion!! (Don't you just love promotion??) That when you buy any drinks, you'll get a free bubble tea!! WHOA!! can you say crazy? 1) cause hello!!! a free drink?! 2) usually promotions around here are like 10-20 % or more percent off...you not getting anything else !! That's fine and good but....I want the additional item...hahaha XP so you'll get to try two things from the place rather than one!!! Anyways, I ordered the fresh lemon green tea (didn't realized it was one of their best sellers until my bf told me) AND LET ME FREAKING TELL YOU!!!! ............it was good!! It was super lemony!! in a good way. I don't like lemonade since usually there would be a lot of sugar and i mean ALOT of sugar. Here, it's more lemon and of course sugar but it's more acidic and sour (which i don't mind) Its so good , I actually want to come back and get the same drink...but with aloe this time!! Since i saw they offered aloe but it was too late!! T_T They also offer a lot of different jellies and ALOE!!! Okay, also the free drink....I thought it would be a crappy drink since they are giving it for free technically. WELL!, it isn't! Not one bit!! It's actually milk tea with bubbles but I'm not complaining. The bubbles are actually good as well. This coming from a girl that do not , i REPEAT do not like pearl/tapioca/ bubbles w/e you call it. At happy lemon, their bubbles are less starchy and more jelly like. Which was interesting. I give it a 5 star. I will come again!!! It's cute and different since everything here is lemon based. OH! but something interesting i saw that they had was cheese ? idk...what that means but anyways you go check it out yourself peepz!! Happy lemon!!!

    Amazing!

    Do they accept cash during covid?

    Is almond milk offered as an alternative to milk?

    Do they have dual cups at this location? So that you can enjoy two different drinks?

    No, it's one cup per drink. They have two sizes to pick from- one regular and the other large

    This place is located in a food court, there used to be 2 places that served Taiwanese steak in…read morethis food court but apparently this one managed to survive. Price has been increasing over the years, cash only, and deposit for the hot plate when you dine in (you get your deposit back after you return the plate). Service is fine, though be wary of getting your change back. There were at least 5 times the cashier (both guy and girl) left out a dollar, and no they were not apologetic about it. You don't come here for ambiance, but you are signing up for a no frills meal that will sizzle in front of you and will always gather onlookers as they pass by. There are two flavors for gravy you can choose, mushroom vs black pepper. It also comes with eggs, some veggies, noodles, salad with a heavy dollop of thousand Island dressing, and a small cup of cold fragrant green tea.

Tucked away in the heart of Queens' bustling Taiwanese enclave, this spot is a hidden gem that punches way above its weight in taste and value. In fact, it was so hidden, we almost couldn't find the place! Got the sizzling sirloin steak with mushroom sauce as well as the sizzling chicken steak with black pepper sauce. Go with the black pepper sauce. It is much better. They charge a $10 deposit fee on your receipt which will be returned to you after you are finished and return their trays to them. Keeps folks honest and prevents sticky fingers from walking out with their iron hot plates. Prices are really reasonable for steak. There was also a lot of other interesting stuff on the menu that I can't wait to try next time.

    Ok, ok. I figured it out…read more So our local Chinese language school in Northern New Jersey would frequently order mass delivery from a restaurant in Flushing called OK Canaan. Of course, we expect the school to choose only the highest quality restaurants to order delivery from, and yes, it was quite good, considering that it was delivery that was lugged all the way from Flushing and ultimately had to be reheated in the microwave. Come this past weekend, we decided to plan a whole day trip to Flushing to visit Flushing Meadows Corona Park and eat some good Taiwanese and Chinese food. We search Yelp and we come across this place, OK Ryan. The restaurant is small and cozy, but packed a big bite. We had Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, Pork Chop lunchbox, Oyster Pancake, Pork Intestine Vermicelli, Taiwanese Sausage, and Golden Red Bean Pancake. Everything authentic and delicious. Oyster Pancake was probably the best I've had for a very long time - it was filled with oysters, not too doughy, not too saucy. Beef noodle soup had excellent depth of flavor and the meat was tender and delicious. We ordered way too much food and took a bunch of it home. Found out that the restaurant was cash or Venmo only. So I take out my phone and Venmo the bill. But wait, my Venmo app did not register OK Ryan as a new restaurant. In fact, it said I had paid this restaurant several... times.... before. Cue the freak out. Who hacked my Venmo account to buy Taiwanese food?? OK, so obviously, OK Ryan and OK Canaan are one and the same. Good for delivery, but now we know, much better in person. We'll try the real OK Canaan next time.

We came on a weekend dinner and surprisingly there was a lot of people before 5:15pm and no one really afterwards. I really appreciate all the Taiwanese decorations in their restaurants and the circular tables which I haven't experienced in a bit. In general, their menu was pretty amazing as it had all the Taiwanese hits that one could want and I seriously couldn't choose! - Braised Pork Rice Lunchbox - Absolutely loved the vegetables in this dish, it really reminded me of the the railroad lunch boxes you get in the train station. I think the braised pork was okay as there wasn't a lot of meat and it was a bit heavy on the fat. - Taiwanese Chicken Cutlet - I was a bit confused on first look of this chicken because they had some rick crackers stuck to the outside of it. I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be but at least the flavors were spot on as it was ultimately crispy on the outside with a bit of spice and juicy on the inside. Probably the best dish of the night. - Pork Intestine Vermicelli - I've never had this dish before in the states so I was interested to see how this would turn out and it was actually a lot better than I thought. The flavors were pretty on point and the cleaned out the intestine well. I probably wouldn't order the lunchbox again, and although no dish extremely WOW-ed me, their breadth of Taiwanese dishes is pretty amazing and I will be back!

Luckily, there was only a short wait for our party of two at around 12pm...but I suspect the wait can be much longer later in the afternoon or during peak dinner times. Once your number is called, you go up some stairs to the eating/tabled area. There are tables and chairs for 2, 4 and more guests throughout the large space. The pace of the restaurant is very fast...as soon as you are seated, you are given tea and your waiter comes over right away to take any order you are ready to give. Its helpful to ask for a menu while you are waiting for a table so you know what to order when asked. We had some soup dumplings as well as a (large) soup. Everything was very good and out in about 15 minutes...very fast. The soup dumplings were great...but as expected are filled with piping hot broth so be careful when eating. They have some other appetizers and dishes available. There are also some drink options including cold teas, soft drinks and beer. Overall a great experience...despite visiting on a busy Saturday, we were in and out in about 40-45 minutes. Street parking can be tough in the area but there are a few garages around...one of the more reasonable options is the garage at the Skyview shops which currently charge about $6 for up to three (3) hours and is a short 5 minute walk away.

    I've finally found my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in the east coast. This spot is the spot to try…read moreif you want real authentic Taiwanese food with extensive menu items. My eyes lit up when I saw the menu. The owners are from Tainan, Taiwan which is often consider the culinary capital of Taiwan with many iconic traditional dishes and flavors. The restaurant is spacious but it does not have many table seatings (3-5 tables?). When we came it wasn't busy so we got a spot but we did see many people coming in for their takeout orders. The oldies they play at the restaurant take me back to my childhood. The place is structured very interestingly where it's an open kitchen so you can actually easily see how they prep the food in the back. We ordered: - oyster omelette pancake - mung wort kueh (4 pieces) - danzai noodle - mixed spice platter The oyster omelette was the highlight! The bottom is crispy and they use a generous amount of oysters. It's the most authentic oyster pancake I've had in the east coast. Alot of other "Taiwanese spots" don't make it correctly. I also love the mung wort kueh (hard to find places that sell this) - it's a fun snack to take to go. It's a savory mochi bun with shredded radish as the main ingredient. The danzai noodle is an iconic dish from Tainan. Its main star consists of the one shrimp and the marinated ground braised pork. Although I would prefer the dry version but they serve the soup version here. The broth tastes very clear and clean, doesn't feel like it's dosed with salt and MSG. We got the mixed platter - an iconic street food in Tainan is 滷味 (Lou Wei) which is consist of different ingredients tossed and braised in a soy-based spice sauce. They have a nice selection of Lou Wei options and the platter we got had pork belly, duck neck, tofu skin, and lotus roots. The spicy duck neck can be intimidating for those that have never had it but it is fun to eat. There are so many items on there that I can't wait to try. For first timer, definitely get the oyster pancake and Luroufan! I can't wait to come back and try more of the traditional Taiwanese dishes. They also have frozen dumplings that you can buy to go. 50 pieces for $28-$30 is a pretty good price!
