Vast Asian food court with diverse regional Chinese and Korean dishes























"New World Mall is New York’s biggest Asian indoor mall, and its massive basement food court is one of Flushing’s main attractions. There are around 30 food stalls in the kind of drab but still dizzying space, serving everything from xiao mian and pumpkin congee to jianbing and Uyghur lamb skewers. Lamb knife-cut noodles from Lanzhou Handmade Noodle and pan-fried pork buns from Pan Bao are must-orders. Go with a group so you can eat a lot of food, and don’t forget to stop by the cotton candy vending machine on your way out." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick

"This Flushing food court is a citywide destination, with over two dozen vendors ranging from Sichuan to Korean. Head to the basement of this mall to find the goods, which include hand-cut noodles and dumplings, as well as harder-to-find lamb-stuffed samsas from a rare Uyghur restaurant." - Eater Staff

"In the New World Mall I encountered DaXi, a plush, night‑clubbier space where presentation is part of the thrill — for example, a dish of humongous pork ribs arrives in a yellow birdcage." - Robert Sietsema
