"Before Lhasa Fresh Food, which opened last year, there was Lhasa Fast Food, one of the worst-kept chowhound secrets in Queens, often described as being 'in the back of a cell-phone store in Jackson Heights.'

Still, the vibe was lively enough, with families pushing tables together for casual banquets, and quietly exciting things were happening in the kitchen.
