The da pan ji (big plate chicken) was great here. I like it better than what Stall 28 at New World…read moreMall serves since Western Spicy Chicken's version is less salty and less greasy without compromising flavor. For $10, you get the small plate. For a little more, you get the big plate, which is significantly bigger and worth the upgrade. In both cases, you can choose rice or noodles. Noodles is the better option as it is freshly made biang biang noodles. The noodles do a great job of soaking up the deliciously flavorful and spicy sauce. The overall taste is great. It isn't just spicy to the point of numbing your tongue out. There's really good flavor in the dish and the spice is more of a slow burn that builds up and surprises you. It gets satisfyingly spicy, but in a delicious way. The potatoes are nicely cooked and also soak up flavor from the sauce. There are also whole garlic cloves, which I did not eat, but I assume would taste great as well if you really love garlic. The noodles are very "QQ" and they give you a big portion. The small plate with the noodles is definitely enough for a lunch. The big portion looks like it should feed three people. This is one of those stalls I've always walked right by without giving it a second thought. I'm glad I finally gave them a try.

Online the price for the bun was more expensive and varied. It was $7.50 flat when I ordered at the cash register. It wasn't too busy when I went and they were so fast I didn't even have time to put the money back in my purse before they handed me the bun. It looks pretty flat and I do wish they stuffed it more because it was so delicious, but it did keep me full a while. The cumin flavor is strong and the best way I can describe it is it reminded me of a ground beef taco seasoning packet except elevated. Love the lamb with it, onions were sautéed perfectly, and the hints of other veggies made it the perfect bite.

Ever heard of the term "phoning it in"? It's used to convey something being done without…read moreenthusiasm, without passion, without focus - in the days before Zoom, hybrid work and coworking spaces made it much more acceptable and routine, it indicates something done remotely without spiritually "showing up for their A-game". The odd thing is that "phonin' it in" is opposite to "dialing it in", since the former is someone putting up minimal effort for a task, while the latter refers to someone putting in extra effort on a task to make sure everything is done correctly, like a astronomer in front of a radio telescope tuning the controls precisely just that one bit to capture the radio waves from a faraway star. So yeah, the lady behind the counter is definitely phoning this one in, but ironically dialing it in for one thing. Exhibit A: it's not that busy on a late Friday afternoon (6:30p) but the tables outside look grimy. I mean, Main plaza is fairly grimy in general, but the streaks are off-putting. There is that smell in the mall, but that's probably overvalued antiques decaying, combined with signs of water damage up on the ceiling. Exhibit B: It's a Chinese-Korean joint but most of their customers aren't there for Chinese Korean - it's here for malatang. Exhibit C: my Chinese Korean food. The good news - the boiled pork and chive dumplings (#7) are pretty good. Fresh ingredients inside the filling, the seasoning tastes clean, the inside is juicy, the skin has a chewy texture, held up during cooking and isn't too thick or gummy, and works well with the provided dipping sauce. Some care was spent making those dumplings. The bad news: everything else me and the missus ordered, which is the Naengmyeon (cold noodles, or #2) and the kimbap (with spam inside). Ever had a decent bowl of Naengmyeon at a Korean restaurant (usually South Korean style)? It's usually a cold beef or chicken broth, sometimes blended with dongchimi (radish onion ginger asian pear juice and brine), a slight bit vinegary and with thin slices of beef (or whatever protein you have), asian pear or pickled radishes - the intuition is that the South Korean prefer a more savory broth and as you head north, the soup gets sweeter. When you get to Yanbian region of northern China bordering North Korea, it became more of a sweet and sour thing with apple juice and a bit of soy sauce got added in, but the meaty broth is still the foundation. So what the hell is this bowl of disappointment doing on my table? First, it tastes like pickle juice - nothing meaty about it. Second...raw cabbage? Since when do Koreans (or the folks from Yanbian) put raw shredded cabbage in their Naengmyeon? Third..cilantro and plenty of it? I've never seen examples of Korean cold noodles with that. What else is inside that bowl? Spam fresh from the fridge with their congealed fat and gelatin, and all this for the low low price of 12 bucks as of June 2024. So...overly tangy, weird and likely made with leftover ingredients from someone's malatang order? Oh yeah, the lady manning the place also forgot my kimbap order - the missus actually had to ask. She was more than happy to take the money but didn't even bother to issue a receipt or write it down. How was the kimbap? Gummy watery rice, the same fresh-off-the-fridge spam, a little bit of the usual cucumbers and pickled carrots, but the entire thing is off-balance. Too much rice, a bit bland and slightly fishy...but from what? There's no surimi (fake crab stick) in there - the entire thing was infused with mediocrity. It also costs just as much as the local places that make kimbap, like Kimganae or Chung-Moo on Union - and nowhere as good. You often get some complementary items like pickled radishes and maybe a small cup of soup to go with those 2 joints, since they care about what was served. If you like your tastebuds constantly punched by cheap spices, yeah, I guess malatang will work here - it's usually just a big pot of spicy whatever done cheaply and quickly - the term "Sichuan garbage bowl" comes to mind, but that was the intention anyways. If you want stuff that takes effort to get right? Unless you are here for the decent dumplings? Don't. Just don't. If you want a place where you can fully expect people to phone it in, that's IHOP on 156th and Northern..but if you want a grimy place in downtown Flushing infused with the stench of half-assery, this place should be on your radar. Otherwise, go somewhere else that tries to earn your business? Thanks.

I also ordered one small bowl of white rice, about 8 oz or 200 g at most. The food was decent, but the dine-in experience was disappointing. Throughout the meal, I received no real service other than the food being delivered from the kitchen. No one refilled my water or checked on the table. Despite that, a 15% gratuity was automatically added to my bill. I paid $37.73 total, including a $4.57 automatically added tip, for two dishes and one extra bowl of rice in Flushing, NY, on June 12, 2026. I do not mind paying for good food or good service, but automatically adding a tip when there was essentially no service felt unfair.

Tried this place out for lunch today in the New York Food Court. I've been trying to find the best…read morespots in this food court to avoid the crowds at New World Mall. I got the egg and tomato handmade noodle dish that comes as a dry noodle. Scrambled eggs and tomatoes are a classic flavor, but I've never had it with noodles before. The dish was topped with some sesame sauce and fresh cucumber. Overall, it was pretty good, although I was expecting more of a sauce of tomatoes and egg poured over the noodles. Instead, it was just tomatoes and egg sauteed with noodles, with the only liquid being what came out of the tomatoes during cooking. I guess that's why they add on the sesame sauce. The noodles were really well-made. They were nicely al dente and pretty uniform in size even though they're pulled by hand. The tomato flavor wasn't strong enough, but the acidity of the tomato was there and was nicely balanced by the nutty taste of the sesame sauce. The cucumbers provided a refreshing crunch. The dish was missing a bit of spice. I also got a side of chili oil sliced pig ears. They normally sell a dish for $7, but I didn't want a full side of it and asked if they could just give me a smaller portion for cheaper. So the guy at the register asked for $3 and gave me a really generous portion of pig ears. I wasn't expecting it to be a chili oil made with Sichuan peppercorns, but it was and I loved the tingly spiciness it gave the dish. I actually spooned a little bit of the hot chili oil into the noodles to give them a bit more flavor. And since the noodles had no meat in them, I added a slice of pig ear every few bites. I enjoyed my meal even though it wasn't perfect. I'll definitely return to try their lamb noodle soup and see how it compares to the famous one (inside Golden Mall or New World Mall).
