The meat filling is good and flavorful, but the skin is a bit thick and just average. Pan fried buns are better in the basement of New World Mall. This place is still good if you need a quick snack. Service: Service is average, not bad but not particularly good. Ambiance: This is a hole in the wall spot with no seating. You order from a window and get your food through the window too. Overall, I would recommend this dumpling spot!

I picked up the 4 small meat buns for $3! So cheap. It's really good. Dunno if it's been a while but I feel like less meat than in past but it's still good. Probably everything is so expensive now so understand. Service was pretty fast but usually this lace is busy It's definitely a pickup and honestly I have never ordered inside just in the outside.

While shopping in Flushing decided to check out Ming Wei, a street-facing food…read morestall/hole-in-the-wall. (Note - There is only room to stand and order, i.e., no seating.) Went for their Chinese Crepe and round, self-contained Fried Chicken Pie. The Crepe, their version of Jian Bing, was immediately prepared while I waited, with egg, black sesame, scallions, crushed large wonton strips, lettuce and greens, some sauce, and (optional) chili paste. Ming Wei's Chinese Crepe was definitely a winner! Extremely large and delicious for only 5 bucks! The different textures and flavors worked well together, providing an interesting eating experience. On the other hand while the fried chicken was tender, the pie crust was a little hard for my taste, which might have been because it was end-of-day. (Note - If it was as good as the outstanding Crepe, I'd give Ming Wei 5 Stars!) Regardless, likely to explore some of their other items on another trip to Flushing! Would recommend checking out Ming Wei's Crepe! It's something that could make you a repeat customer!

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.

They also are very generous and stuff your burger. I wish the onion had cooked a bit more because the flavor was very strong and slightly more raw, but if you're an onion fan this is the one!

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).
