More Restaurants in Flushing
As in most Chinatowns, there are restaurants on nearly every street in downtown Flushing, but one strip should hold your attention. On Prince Street near 38th and 39th Avenues, around the corner from the Flushing Mall and a couple of blocks from Main Street, a few excellent eating establishments rub shoulders.
Spicy and Tasty (39-07 Prince St, 718-359-1601) is amazing. The Sichuan peppercorns will blow the socks off your tonsils, but then there’s a lovely tingling and taste that’s unexpected and deeply satisfying. Doused in red peppery oil, this is spicy food, but not crazy hot like real Thai food. The timid will inherit the tea smoked duck, and still walk away happy.
Green Papaya Thai Cuisine (38-12 Prince St, 718-353-1888) serves excellent Thai food.
Pho Vietnamese Restaurant (3802 Prince St, 718-461-8686) has tasty pho beef noodle soup and other Vietnamese dishes. It’s one of the best deals on Prince Street for price and quality.
66 Lu’s Seafood (38-18 Prince St, 718-321-0904) is highly recommended for its Taiwanese food, especially for rice sausage and oyster pancakes.
Sentosa Malaysia Cuisine (39-07 Prince St, 718-886-6331) serves delicious Malaysian food. Definitely try the sate, especially if you’re with child or children. Grilled chicken sticks are a hit at any age. Sentosa’s roti canai will hold up to the best you’ve had in NYC, and I love the way the chef cooks squid.
Dim Sum in Flushing Dim sum is an excellent way to celebrate a weekend morning. This Chinese, mainly Cantonese, meal lets you sample lots of nibbles and snacks and share a pot of tea and catch up with friends and family. These three dim sum restaurants in Flushing, Queens, serve some of the best dim sum in New York.
