Flushing Dim Sum & Dumpling Guide: Where to Eat Regional Chinese
A comprehensive survey of Downtown Flushing's subterranean food courts, Shanghai dumpling houses, and Cantonese banquet dim sum palaces.
Forget Manhattan Chinatown — Flushing is the beating heart of authentic regional Chinese gastronomy in North America. Within a four-block radius surrounding Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue, diners can travel from Dongbei to Guangdong in a single afternoon.
Highlights include the paper-thin, broth-bursting xiao long bao at Nan Xiang, spicy cumin lamb hand-pulled noodles from Xi'an street stands, and glistening roast duck hanging in Chinatown shop windows along Prince Street.
