- While most people think of Manhattan Chinatown when they think of New York City's Chinatown, I would argue Flushing Chinatown is the real NYC Chinatown. Manhattan's Chinatown has become more commercialized and filled with more tourists these days. It has tends to have a large slant towards Cantonese cuisine. Flushing Chinatown offers a more diverse selection of Chinese cuisine and is more representative of the modern China, although more like China 20 years ago than China today!
With so many food options in Flushing Chinatown, it's hard to know where to eat. That's where the New World Mall food court comes in! This food court is very famous and is a favorite eating spot for locals. No matter what you're craving, there is an authentic Chinese food at this food court for you! The variety offered at this food court is unparalleled and it is one of the best food courts in New York City. It would be hard to find many of the specific authentic cuisines even in New York City, but at the New World Mall food court in Flushing, Queens, you can find all of it in just one place!
Let's check it out together!

To those who celebrate, Happy Lunar New Year and hope you all enjoyed the Super Bowl!
If you ever go to San Diego, let me show you around dude.
Plz stop the childish music
Happy New Year! All the best to you and your family.
Its one of the safest and cleanest places in New York city too.. Streets are clean, crime is way down.. ..This is where id wanna live..
You should know better. It's NOT the "lunar new year", because it's not based on the lunar calendar. It's the Chinese New Year.
I like how respectful UA is to his wife when she talks.
I live Two blocks from the New World Mall and most of the stalls have very good food . The Uyghur stall has excellent Lamb dishes and I love my hand pulled noodles, with chicken. There are so many good food stalls. The Thai street food is excellent. There are so many good Chinese, Korean, Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese, Japanese and Indian restaurants within a few blocks of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue (the last stop on the 7 train). The Manhattan Chinatown is for tourists; Flushing is for the Asian community. I’m glad that I like asian food and.
Maybe sounds selfish but I’m so glad you quit your day job and started uploading more. Love your content
I'm old enough to remember when Flushing was Koreatown!
There still is a sizeable Korean population there
bayside
they moved their stores to the Northern Blvd.....if I remember correctly, lol.
I remember when all of a sudden in the 80s Korean spots started opening up in Flushing. As a HUGE fan of Korean food, even back then when I was only 12 or so it was awesome. Then slowly over the late 80s into the 90s etc. the Korean spots started to dry up and it became the Chinatown it is today. There are still Korean spots here or there from what I understand, and as UA said a fairly sizeable Korean population still in the area. But man, imagine going from incredible Korean food, to incredible Chinese food. As an absolute fan of Asian cuisines, it was heaven lol I still wish a Thai or Vietnamese crowd would have come into the area before I moved out of NY around the year 2000. But, eh. It is what it is :)
Those were good times.
Looks delicious. I did get a chuckle as your intro talking about the real, authentic Chinatown while standing in front of a Popeye’s! 😝
I was thinking the same thing!😂
Ditto 😂
I mean he’s still in America 😂
what subway is this at
As much as I love some of your steak/high end reviews, I'm liking these more lowkey and localized reviews. Really highlighting Chinese-American culture, something someone used to do before getting high on that "food reviewer" glizzy.
lol "chestnuts roasting on an enclosed fire"
Thank you for that delicious food tour of Flushing's Chinatown. I'll have to try fresh handmade noodles one day. Happy Lunar New Year!
I grew up in Flushing at a time when there were only a few Chinese restaurants! I enjoyed them all and never dreamed that there would be a time when the whole area would have become a mecca for my favorite foods!
Great video! Very educational. Thanks for sharing what you do with the extra food.
One of your best videos! I like it when you show good food that's not accessible to everyone or is unfamiliar. Keep it up.
Hi UA, have watched all of your videos and I’m so impressed by all of detail’s you really are a fantastic food critic. Now that you’ve going full time love to see more of Pizza in Jersey.
I used to go to a great Chinese owned bakery in Flushing…the bread and pastries were delicious
I liked hearing Tinas insight in this video. Its cool she rides along with you Im glad for you guys
I think TIna should chime in more during your videos. That tiny pathetic tiny plastic spoon: I would bring my own! I enjoy your videos always. Thank you.
Awesome video! Asian food is super diverse and yummy, more videos on Asian food like this please!
Happy Lunar New Year!!! Great vid as always!
You keep an honest review, you are a superb foodie!
The best soup in this food court is still the think noodle soup or the pronunciation is call mein sien soup ...Delicious soup with so many different kind of ingredients in the soup ...
Hi. Been watching your videos. I subscribed with my car channel. Your reviews are exactly what I want from a review. You seem like such a nice person and your dialogue is so positive.
Nice video as always! I've been to the area but didn't go to the mall in particular because I thought I wouldn't know what to order😁. After watching your video I feel more confident to go and explore more👍🏾
The Uyghur food is aaaaaaaahmazing! I go here once a month. I truly love Flushing so much I just wish it didnt take me 40mins to get there!
Also: There are actual sit-down dining establishments on the upper floors. They are really nice and the decor is awesome. They are pricier too. The top floor has the famous banquet hall. Its awesome, you will see events/parties/galas happening here all the time. I love catching rehearsals.
Great choice for a video! Future visits would be great too, so many great options in Flushing!
I'd love to see a vid on Joe's Steam Rice Roll. They've got Manhattan locations, so would be more easily accessible (along with other places serving up cheung fun)
I've been down there a bunch of times! You're only 5 minutes from my house, and we're fortunate to have such diversity of food around here. Excellent as always!
You're lucky to be so close by!
You brought back some memories UA, Shibuya. Went to Tokyo along time ago 1999. Time flyes Man.
UE: Happy Lunar New Year🎉Great to see that the New World Mall food court is back at full swing after Covid! I see everything is $10 & above!
Moved out of Flushing 7 years ago. I miss it so much! Thanks for the cool content.
Everything looks really good!
When I’m in the mood for authentic Chinese etc I always head to flushing to satisfy my cravings
The braised beef noodle soup at "the ugly dumpling" extra beef is 🤤 they use top sirloin medallions soft as butter. 🐉Happy New year to the both of you prosperity and good fortune wishes 💜
Love the gristle, tendon, nerves attached to the braised meat. It's a texture thing.
Haha i was actually in Flushing that day but not Main Street, would have been cool to run into ya!
Good stuff, UA! Hope you'll consider some of the Astoria spots I've mentioned at some point :)!
Love Astoria!! When my son lived there we had the best food.... all different cultures, An absolute food paradise!!!! Hand pulled noodles.... So many memories!!
I was at New World Food Court just last week. Still have some food in my freezer. Next time check out Golden Food Mall which just reopened last year. It’s the OG Chinese food court in Flushing. Excellent video UA.
That looks delicious 😋
It was all good!
You got me excited just from the intro. I must say I never had authentic Chinese before and my guilty pleasure is General tso chicken lol this makes me wanna hit my china town here in chicago
Great job!
It's nice to finally have been to a place before UA reviewed it XD. Got random pigs feet at a random stall near LIRR and it was the best pigs feet i ever had
I was hoping you would show them the dry hotpot, maybe a part two?
Love Queens NY. This area is a food paradise!!!!
I stayed right next to Flushing for a work conference a few months ago, sad I didn't try this spot. Hopefully next time!
Awesome
My sister lives on Kissena Blvd.
I never knew how to order anything.
You're describing everything so clear 😊😊😊
Wow...what a food paradise! Wish we have one here in Indianapolis.
Very simple broth but good in its way, as you've said.
i used to love that food court! best noodles! then i'd go upstairs for grocery shopping...
Its one of the safest and cleanest places in New York city too.. Streets are clean, crime is way down.. ..This is where id wanna live..
Safe and New York shouldn't be in the same sentence
@@RFSpartan ive been there a few times, you can walk the streets at night, never a problem, business owners keep the sidewalks and fronts spot free, no trash, no druggies noddin out, no car jackings, ect.
there is an amazing Korean spicy chicken shop to the left of the bottom of the escalators, fantastic, very spicy and flavorful, always fresh and tasty. it's a must have anytime I have enough time to drop down to that food court. I have to try that noodle bowl, looked delicious and I wonder if I'll like it more than Japanese ramen.
There’s a least one shuttle bus from Manhattan Chinatown to Flushing’s. One is called Zhong Hua Van Service. It is faster than the subway since the subway makes so many stops. It leaves from Division and Bowery in Manhattan.
I had the exact same Lanzhou braised beef noodle dish from the same stall at the food court and enjoyed it thoroughly. The noodle was on point as described. I personally prefer the connecting tissues pieces more when braised properly in a 15:30 tender way as the flavor comes from the soft jelled collagen from the preparation of deep braising. I also prefer tgd thicker chunks like the ones I tasted that day.
Epic video! Great place to shoot a video!
It's been on the list for a while. I'm glad I finally got to make it happen!
Thanks, buddy!
Best thing I had on a skewer in China was cicadas roasted in cumin, but I couldnèt bring myself to eat scorpions and dog. Handpulled fresh noodles. Costco sells marinated Bulgoki beef and boxed noodle kits. Vancouver has old Chinatown, Richmond, Metrotown-all with over 100k people. Quebec City-no Chinatown. Love Zhejiang red seared porkbelly!
Chinese food in Vancouver BC, is way too pricey.
Love the food courts there. And that Popeyes looks good too. Lol.
The beef noodles from "Lanzhou Handmade Noodle" are fantastic! It's item #1 on the menu.
The Pineapple Bun at "New Flushing Bakery" across the street is also bomb. Good coffee there also.
I really miss being able to go to the Flushing Chinatown and the New World Mall food court. Some of the best Chinese cuisine in the country hands down. I know over the last 10 years or so, and especially during and now after the pandemic, the food court has kind of been re-done a bit with some places shutting down and some newer places moving in. But I bet it's still all good. I really wish I could just go to NY to visit Flushing lol It's been 25 years :(
You wouldn’t be able to get me away from the all-duck place, that’s for sure!
The beef part you showed with the noodles looks good but I guess it wasn’t cooked long enough. Properly cooked shin meet is soft unctuous and delicious.
Probably what happened is that the seller doesn’t want to take the time when they can just sell to the next customer. A lot of shortcuts are taken because most customers don’t know how it should be made, and will settle for what’s placed in front of them.
I'm a fan of lu rou fan the last dish you tried. Usually in Taiwan, a portion is served with half a tea egg, a few Korean yellow daikon slices, and/or a piece of bok choy.
I saw Tom Delgado near the end of your video! Another UA-camr!
Ahhh yes I see him haha
great minds eat alike
Yup I noticed Tom D right away. Good eyes 👀
@@matthewread79 You are not the only one. LOL.
@19:02
For the Beef in the Lamien soup.. It can vary.. In larger cities like Beijing, and Tapei, usually the beef is sliced and and trimmed, but in other places usually less affluent ones, it is not..
UA you gotta get to striphouse on 12th. One of the best steaks I ever had plus my cousin who lives in the city says it’s the most underrated steak house in town. Love the vids tho man
Wow it looks really highly reviewed. It's definitely going on the list!
please explore Flushing more.
Gong Xi fa Cai! Keep up the positive spirit and excellent reviews!
I would totally try the Duck Specialized place!
I wonder if there are Shichuan hot pot food place in NY?
How did u become an Eagle's fan? Nice video as always.
298th 👍 Hi UA! 👋 Hi everyone 👋 I sure do enjoy how you describe every flavor, texture. Whether it's amazing or not. Keep it up
I left NY many years ago I believe I use to work in that mini mall as a kid it was a big department store called Alexanders
I'm starving. This place looks cool.
Looks amazing! I’d be intimidated though. Can’t read some of the menus. Would definitely go with someone like UA that knows what everything is lol
Looks Tasty 😊
years ago i went to the Pot Hop restaurant in New York China Town food was fantastic i'm in UK
I miss the new world mall food court so much
Always a great time there!
How long has that food court been operating? Im curious bc i used to go to Flushing (long while back) to shop at STERNS (lol). A long time ago haha
Can you go to Tangram Tower In flushing and check out their food scene? 😁 My dad was telling me about it but it's just too far for me by train to stop in.
Goo Birds! 🦅 Great 👍 Video! & Beautiful Content my Guy!! Keep up the Good Work!!
Good when we were there but not as good here in Vancouver or Richmond BC :-)
🇦🇺 wow uj ! Id be there as often as i can if i was in American .
The smells ,the choices abd inspiration..hopefully the duck is cheaper than Australia $30 with out sides .,really miss a good Chinese flavours one meal individual from the next. Your so lucky food looks delicious
• At Main Street, I bought those pop rock things when you throw em on the ground it pops.
• I also bought tanghulu in different places (One outside the lobby where J-MART is, one outside of the parking lot, and one in front of J-MART)
• Went grocery shopping.
• Haircut.
• In the top floor, I went to that big luxury restaurant.
• bought food at the food court. (Strawberry crème brulee latte 50% sugar n a burger at Chris rocks.)
Did you keep the sticks after the lamb kabobs?
I saw Tom D NYC towards the end. Legendary NYC UA-camr
My favorite Asian food is definitely Japanese, but I do enjoy all Asian cuisine❤
I believe another popular NY vlogger is in your video at 19:02. Not sure if that was just a coincidence or if that was a special day at the food court?
bro i go to eat that soup like 2 times a week at that restaurant. also love their hot oil!!!
Flushing Chinatown is definitely the place to eat authentic Chinese food. I've never been to the New World Mall. Definitely looks worth a trip. Manhattan Chinatown is getting more difficult to find real Chinese food. Most places cater more towards the non-Chinese population. Nice video!
Manhattan Chinatown has turn into Little Italy, it caters to the tourists. Rent is so high.
So true and sad. Old school Chinatown is a distant memory.
Thats true Ramen was introduced in Japan from China. I saw a documentary about it.
This was GREAT UA, thank you!
Hi Tina! 😊
Oh man there is a dessert place that you should try too. I think it is call 三园甜品。
I've been in Flushing since 1979, never entered this food court. The time I entered this building allot was when it was Alexanders.
hidden gem for real-real chinese food, everything is handmade, real handpulled noodle, not the fake ramen bs with heavy af broth. the art is clear broth with alot flavor, takes time
that 生煎包 spot is the best there is in murica
Hope you went to the other food court to compare. It was not advertised but had a red awning. It is New York Food Court on Roosevelt.
Bay Area Chinese Food Tour, UA please! haha 😂
You should try Filipino pork BBQ on a stick. I bet you'd enjoy that.
I suspect the chinese food on the street of Flushing is where the OG spots are.
Not sure if it still there but there was a dry hot pot place in that food court. Get to choose your own toppings and they stir fry it for you.
Clues to great food: When UA eats with his eyes closed, it's a sure sign it's really good. On another note, thank you for trying the Halal Uyghur Chinese food. The oppression that the ruthless Chinese government is inflicting on the Uyghur people is truly tragic.
If I remember correctly the New World Mall used to be called Busy B Mall. Then flushing was taken over by the Asian community and all changed.
Hey ua, did you know that another you tuber I watch was also eating at new world mall while you were filming? He appeared twice, tomdnyc. Quite a coincidence, or was it?
Def a different world there
Thank you for educating me. Can you show us the Chinese characters for lau mien if I heard that correctly? I'm Japanese and you are absolutely correct, in Japan ramen is considered to be Chinese food and in some places is still called chuka soba or Chinese soba. I was born in Japan but grew up in the US and I remember my father introduced my brother and me to instant ramen because he wanted to recreate the late night snacks he would have at street carts when he was at boarding school in Tokyo (probably Japanese soba). The first time I had real Japanese ramen was in Kyoto in 1989 and I was shocked at how oily it was; I did not like it one bit. If you haven't already seen it, NHK on Demand has a video, Niigata Ramen part 2, that describes a style where chunks of raw pork back fat are ladled on top of the bowl of ramen until a white cloud forms on top. I love lard, I love fatty bacon and hate it when it made so crisp it shatters in your mouth, but I really don't like a lot of fat in soups. Even today I generally dislike ramen, unless it's the cheapest, Sapporo Ichiban type, simple broth and garnished with scallions and shichimi pepper. There is a bit of oil in the noodle itself. I'm sure I'd like the noodles you ate here.
