"Rolling Donkey" ($5) - Mochi rice rolls layered in sweet red bean. Mild sweetness.

Being a fan of Peking Duck, Quicitop's Peking Duck Jian Bing sounded like a big win. Hadn't noticed…read moreit on the menu of other Jian Bing places in Flushing. They have a wide range of Jian Bing options. Quicitop, a stall inside the same mini food court as Corner 28 with its English name in an almost illegibly small font under its gigantic Chinese name, offers that and more. Along with that, I ordered one of the Chinese style "Beef Patties" to go. (I'm not sure if there's seating in back, however I was taking it with to eat at Citified before the Mets Game.) The woman preparing my Jian Bing behind the counter was totally friendly and quick. This Peking Duck Jian Bing, a sizeable Chinese filled crepe with egg, lettuce and other vegetables, black sesame, was customized with Peking Duck and what appeared to be Hoi Sin Sauce. Additionally she folded within the crepe, as I've had elsewhere a large fried wonton sheet. While I saw some duck as I ate, the fried wonton in particular disproportionately distracted from any enjoyable Peking Duck flavor. If I ordered it again, I'd ask to leave out the wonton. Also, would recommend others do the same. The Beef Patties, in its crispy, flaky, filo dough type bun, was quite tasty, reasonably priced, and something I'd consider reordering. Quicitop might be a place to try their other options, including Jian Bing alternatives such as their batter upgrades of Spinach or Purple Rice.

Service: Staff are friendly and work efficiently to get orders out quickly. Ambiance: This is just a storefront with no seating and barely any place to stand. A line forms quickly at times, but the food comes out quickly. The space is so tight that you order, pay, and wait outside for your number to be called. Overall, I would recommend this eatery!

It was a little hard to find but tracked it down. There were a few people waiting ahead of me in line, but the wait wasn't too long. I saw the guy take out some of the freshly baked bread and saw how juicy the chicken looked, so I was excited. I got one of the roujiamo sandwiches, which was $6. Great deal and feels so good to get a substantial food item for $6 in NY these days. Really feels next to impossible in 2026. Upon receiving the sandwich, I went across the street and tried to eat it ASAP on the street as other people suggested. The sandwich felt really good in my hands as the bread had just come out. Chicken looked really good and I asked for it to be spicy. I took my first bite and it was pretty amazing. First thing I noticed was how flaky the bread was. Such a pleasant and satisfying texture. The chicken had a lot of flavor and I think there is some cabbage in there. I devoured the rest of the sandwich in about a minute and I was very happy. The sandwich is fairly substantial; might not be enough for a full meal for some people and I treated it more as an appetizer before I went elsewhere for a bowl of noodles. I think this is easily a 5 star establishment. Great value and one of the best ways to spend $6 in NYC.

Kid gets out of school and sit there reading books while his parents wait. This is the kind of business I want to support. Now, let's talk about the food. This shop specializes in Chinese bao (steam buns, often stuffed with a filling). Honestly, prices were pretty high relative to competitors. However, filling aside (discuss later), this bun has one of the fluffiest dough in Flushing, or anywhere in NYC for that matter of fact. Most common bao in China has a pork meatball-like filling. I will say that their version was definitely delicious, but absolutely smaller than 99% of places where I usually buy baos. At $2.00 a piece, I will likely stick with other options. Btw, the beef bao at $2.50 should be skipped altogether. With that said, the vegetable bao is heavenly, just like ones I remember from China when I was young. Once again, the airy bun on every bite sets the mood, but the flavor bomb that comes from the vegetable is totally unexpected. The freshness of the vegetables is accented by the crunch of bok choy, with that mustardy taste and a ever so slight hint of bitterness. Along with yummy shiitake mushrooms, there are also wood ear mushrooms and tofu that add some great texture to the flavors. Lastly, it's all pulled together with a touch of aromatic sesame oil. Wow! I'm addicted. At $2.50 per piece, it's certainly more expensive than any others in Flushing, but you pay for quality like I do, get this! Finally, I bought some tea marinated eggs, which was extremely flavorful, albeit a slight bit rubbery from overcooking. Could have been a batch sitting around a little too long since it's been a cold day and not much business from what I could see the two times I visited today. First time to try one bao and the second trip to bring home $40 worth of food. In summary, the prices are high compared to their competitors in the area. However, that vegetable bao is one of my new food loves in Flushing. As a bonus, I get to support a nice family in their new business venture during the pandemic. If you can overlook the price tag, please go try the vegetable bao and spread the word. Let's help keep this mom and pop shop alive.

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).
