Old Luo Yang

I tried their Stirred Fried Cumin Beef with Cold Noodles (#15). The noodles was packed with flavor, they were not stingy with spice. Definitely would come again.

Cozy environment with great quality food. Valid flavor from He Nan province, China. I'd really recommend the number 24 for the rich flavored mild spicy pepper lamb soup with vegetables, seedweed, tofu and a bit drops of lamb. The dense texture with the flavor remains in your memory. Also recommend the regular cold noodle, with regular spicy level. Summarize in a word, Yum!

The best Hu La Tang I’ve had! The soup was full of flavor, and the texture was spot on. The restaurant gives you that cozy, traditional vibe. I’ll be back for more! old Luoyang in the city. Can’t wait to try more dishes here!

Came here for a quick bite and tried the cumin lamb burger. For someone who is a mild spice eater, this was pretty spicy and I'm glad I shared it. The "bun" is a crispy, thin phyllo pastry. It can definitely get messy and that part doesn't have any flavor but paired with the spicy lamb filling, it's an explosion of flavor. I'm glad I shared it with someone, I don't think I could eat the whole thing by myself.

The best cold noodle I ever had. cozy and clean environment. Strongly recommend!!

I ordered the homemade stir fry cold noodles. It’s supposed to be spicy but I got it non spicy. Although it says cold noodles, it’s actually a type of noodle that is warm. Overall, very tasty and chewy!

best ruo jia mo and liang pi i've had in the city!! so flaky pastry and tender meat and spicy flavors ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I had wonderful time here, the liangpi and cumin beef bun was super good and tasted really authentic. It is one of the best in flushing, I recommend everyone to go and give it a try!

So this place my husband did an early morning pickup and brought home. It was really good! The hamburger bun was flaky which I love and the meat tasty and juicy. I am definitely going back myself in person when I am in Flushing! There's actually two locations so will checkout both as well. My husband said service is nice and ambiance is take out so quick.

Flaky dough with a flavorful juicy lamb filling - what more can you ask for! The lamb and cumin paired so well together and the marinade was on point - super flavorful, spicy, and chewy. You may make a bit of a mess with the flaky dough but it's so worth it! Would love to come again (another location in the food court across New World Mall) to try their cold, wide noodles, which is another crowd favorite from here.

Fast and casual Chinese eats! There's not a lot of indoor seating but many people come for take out so you might be lucky to grab a spot if you're trying to eat indoors. We got the cumin lamb and the pork Chinese burger and the wonton soup. They were all delicious, I personally like the lamb burger better. It was pretty busy when we came on a weekend but we didn't have to wait long and the staff were efficient.

Do yourself a favor and get a rou jia mo from here... cumin lamb was the best I've ever had. $10 credit card minimum.

Was craving a lamb burger so came here to get that. Saw other reviews saying their cold noodle was good so I tried that too. Loved it. It's a small store but they're clean and have a restroom for customers too. Pay at the counter. The lamb burger has the flavors, they use this flakey bun that crisps up nicely too. The cold noodle was also worth it. I had it to go so they gave all the liquids in separate containers( broth, chili oil and sesame sauce). Once it was all mixed, it was delicious. The broth really packs a punch.

Came to Old Luo Yang to try their rougamo and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was packed with customers when I entered and it's a pretty popular spot for a reason. I tried their black pepper beef rougamo and it was absolutely delish. Definitely a MUST TRY! The bun was crispy and flakey. The filling was packed with flavor with the cumin and had the perfect amount of spice. An Asian auntie walked over when I was eating and literally pointed to my order and told the cashier she wanted exactly what I got. Best compliment ever. I gave it to my sister to try and she loved it as well. Definitely will be coming back here to try the other flavors. Recommend put this spot on your list! It's soooo good :)

They're known for their liang pi 凉皮 here. I got the original cold noodles ($8). It was absolutely fantastic. Tasty, slightly spicy and chewy. Fresh rice flour noodles. One of my fav types of noodles!! Much try. It is in the same mall as joes steam rolls and mimisa korean chicken. For $8 and no tax/tip, this value cant be beat!

Hidden in a small alleyway shop is this place that serves up some very authentic liang pi. Very refreshing cold sesame noodles with very bouncy gluten. Flavors were good. I also got the pork hamburger, and although the meat was juicy, it was much too salty for my taste. In the future I would just get the liangpi to go. This place may be a bit intimidating for non-english speakers since everything is in chinese. They only have limited counter seating but you can slurp up your noodles then be on your way.

I tried these guys first at the Flushing BID Food tour and they left an impression that made me want to return. At that event I tried the Regular Rougamo (Chinese Burger) and their regular cold noodles (Liangpi). I thought the noodles had a great texture and good flavor. The burger was truly tender and flaky - there was a good amount of meat stuffed inside. When it came to the space itself I thought it had a nice modern look of varied grey tiles throughout - very modern. Next time i stopped in for a quick burger, the cumin lamb this time and found it overly greasy, sparsely filled. Damn, I thought I should have stuck with the regular burger. Simple math here - 5 stars 1st time trying (maybe because it was free and I was hungry it made me more generous) and 3 stars for a regular visit.

Only ordered the Chinese cumin lamb burger. 10/10 DELISH and not too spicy. The bread was soooo flaky and crispy. Would come back again to try the other cold noodle dishes. Wish the counter eating space was a little cleaner though. Workers did not clean or wipe counter space after customers leave. Most customers don't linger after eating but you can just sit and dine. Quick and cheap eat in flushing.

Only tried the cumin lamb Chinese burger- great texture on the flakey dough, strong cumin in the sauce inside. Personally would have preferred if the toppings and meats were diced up more for more even bites. Not bad, but a tad expensive for what it was.

Home of the Chinese burger for sure Small little takeout with 6 sitting stools Trying the lamb burger that was super Continuing my street food tour PRICE - most items $7.00 to $12.00

The flavors at Old Luo Yang, named for the capital of Henan province, will be familiar to those who have tried the now omnipresent Xi'an Famous Foods, offering the cuisine of the neighboring province. Here too the influence of Uighur cuisine, and that cuisine's more distant roots, is clearly visible through the heavy use of cumin, among other telltale signs. The spinach cold noodle I tried didn't have the full "biang biang" texture I was looking for, but was still good, and the mildly spicy slightly nutty sauce it was soaked in. NOTE: NOT located in the New World Mall food court anymore, they now they their own storefront at 135-42 39th Avenue.

Food 4.0/5.0 Service 2.0/5.0 Value 3.0/5.0 Decor 2.5/5.0 Overall 3.5/5.0 Acknowledging that the existing ratings here are super mixed. Got the lamb roujiamou which was really top notch. The seasoning on the lamb and the quality of the meat could probably be better, but the bun is pretty close to as good as it gets. It was really quite a wait for the food considering I came at a weird hour, but there was a stream of pickup and dine-in orders the whole time for what's a really small footprint shop. I presume it was the teenage son managing the register, and the rest of the family handling the kitchen. I'd come back.

Much much better 肉夹馍/Chinese pork burgers and 凉皮/cold noodles than those from Xi'an Famous. The flaky bun and the well seasoned pork are addictive! I only enjoyed the two items above brought to me by a friend, but I am curious to try more in person in Flushing.

Very cheap for the amount of food you get, though it's cash only. It was ok, but I'm not the biggest fan of that much cold noodle.

It's interesting to see most of the comments mention they have tried a lot of Roujiamo, happy to share the same passion here! As someone from in Henan Province (Luo Yang is one of the most well-known cities of Henan), I grew up with eating a lot of Rou Jia Mo 肉夹馍，Bai Ji Mo 白吉馍 (the softer flour bun, not offered here)，Liang Pi 凉皮，Gan Mian Pi 擀面皮 (they call it "Old Luo Yang processed noodles" here), and Mi Pi 米皮 (not offered here). Different regions may have different variations so it's hard and pointless to define "authentic", but the flavors here are the same as what I am used to and I like the food here a lot. In my opinion, (1) the Roujiamo here is the best I have had outside China, but make sure to order the classic version. I thought the lean one sounds healthier with no fatty meat, but the fatty meat is what makes it juicy and tasty. The fatty/lean ratio is perfect, you won't feel like eating fatty meat. I also like the crispy layers of the bun. My takeout tastes just as good after heating up in air fryer. (2) The Gan Mian Pi is better than Liang Pi here. It's also less common to find Gan Mian Pi in New York. I came recently wanting the Gan Mian Pi but it's sold out, ended up ordering the Liang Pi. Don't expect to taste the difference among different colors of Liang Pi lol, they all taste the same. My experience was also limited as I was coughing and couldn't add spicy oil (but usually spicy oil from Henan or Shaanxi are more about the fragrance rather than spiciness). Overall, have been a happy satisfied customer since they first opened in New World Mall, always excited to come back and recommend to others.

Absolutely delicious, especially the Lamb Chinese Burger! The bread they make it with is very tasty and as a Wàiguó rén (foreigner) I find this exceptional and even my wife who is Chinese loved it! You got to have it!

As one of the original food stalls within New World Mall Food Court, Old Luo Yang is among the least known and arguably among the most underrated as well. They pull no punches with authenticity, which will be consistent with what might be found in the motherland. However, even pulling off a true to form execution doesn't necessarily make it good (#1) but certainly not all is lost. Two of Henan's most famous foods, shaobing (燒餅) and hui mian (燴麵) are not the staples here. Instead their bread and butter has been mainly the liangpi (涼皮) and their stuffed sandwiches (肉夾饃). The former is actually under several variations, with a traditional offering of cold noodles with gluten and hot oil and other ones such as purple sweet potato, carrot, spinach, and black rice. They're fun to order and photograph, but the actual noodles themselves are solid but not stellar. I am pretty convinced the sandwiches are really a byproduct of popularity in Flushing and there is more central Chinese fare than a Luo Yang regional take. They work in a pinch but will likely pale just a bit in comparison to what folks have become accustomed to (#2). I would avoid their mala soups at all costs, but that's just me. As is the case with almost all the stalls, I would avoid this zoo on the weekends, save for non-prime time hours (after 4pm and after 8pm). There is still an audience for this place and I think it's worth a try for everyone coming the food court. Mandarin speaking preferred, cash only. ____________ (#1) After all, mediocre food exists everywhere. (#2) Read: juicy interior, slightly soft but crispy outside. Theirs is a bit doughier.

Expensive and I ordered the Lamb Rougamo. It only come with very small portions of meat

This is my best friend's soul food place and I had to try. Had a late lunch and OMG! 肉夹馍（Chinese hamburger）was super. It's soooo freaking delicious (plz excuse my language) and they make it the right way. The "burger bun" is crispy and a bit dry (they are suppose to, if you ever think that's too dry it's not good then you are wrong) and the meat, oh boy, tender, flavorful and perfectly seasoned! They do have a second location nearby, with dine in area and more items on the menu.

Stumbled upon this little shop and was impressed with the lamb burger! It's not the best but still decent enough as a snack! It doesn't taste as good cold so make sure to eat it asap. The noodles were okay, a lot of people order the cold noodles. I tried the stir fried cold noodle with cumin lamb and it had good flavor and spice; however I got super nauseus after eating it. I would give it another try someday.

As someone who had a fair share of Chinese hamburgers, I could say this really tops a lot of other competitors! The meat is supposed to be straight up meat with the tiniest hint of green pepper in it, which perfectly describes this! 2 meat options: lean is 100% lean pork and mixed has fatty meat that melts in it ( what I prefer). Now let's talk about the crispy bun. This is a specialty since most other versions have plain flour dough but this is the crispy flakey one. I could go on and on about how good it tastes, but just go and get one for yourself!

Meat is not fresh. Taste sour....They don't serve fresh meat for take out orders. Do not order with them.

The low yelp rating is extremely misleading..this place is the REAL DEAL. Not for the Manhattan day tripper and tourist crowd. The flavors will transport you to China.

As an avid lover of rou jia mo/Chinese "hamburgers", this place was a genuine letdown. I ordered the #1 combo, liang pi/cold mung bean noodles and rou jia mo, for $12. At first glance, the rou jia mo looked fabulous...and while the bread was indeed flaky and delicious, the stewed pork filling was salty to the point of inedible. The liang pi, on the other hand, was muted and flavorless. The texture of the mung bean jelly and gluten cubes was nice, but the accompanying sesame sauce, chili oil, and seasoned broth were strangely bland. I liked how the sauces was packaged separately, so one could adjust the flavor to taste, but even as I kept adding more and more seasoning, the dish grew saltier and oilier while remaining just as one-note. Very odd. With the plethora of choices available in New World Mall, I can't say I would return here.

My friend from Xi'an recommended us to come here and she is right! 凉皮 is super. The 肉夹馍 has crispy bread with delicious meat! They know their food!

This food stall is located just before the "rest room corner" in the NWM food court. Had the no. 2 combo which comes with your choice of cold noodles and the special burger. I haven't had a lot of cold noodles outside of XFF's liang pi cold skin noodles so that's pretty much my only point of reference. Texture wise, I really liked these noodles but they aren't as flavorful as I had hoped they would be. It's like a light version of XFF's cold noodles. Less oily but also less flavor. The "special burger" made from pork was a bit dry and not that flavorful either but I loved the flaky bun. It was interesting to try but not sure if I would get food from here again given all the choices.

I ordered the regular cold noodles. The noodles were fine, but the sauces provided to mix with them were rather bland, especially the sesame sauce. I was also hoping for some cilantro and scallions, but it was just the noodles with bean sprouts and wheat gluten. Just not my thing I guess.

Located in the food court downstairs. Stopped in here for a tasty $6 Chongqing Noodle Soup. Hot & spicy, thin noodle and lots of flavor. The only downside is the lack of much meat, but the savory and spicy soup is a good balance. Will try more items here soon.

This is the worst place ever. I placed an order and they let me come to pick up in 20 mins. I came to pick up my food after 20 mins and they told me they didn't even started to prepare my food yet. So fucking unacceptable.

Alright food and decent price but not as authentic a alright service but super fast. A few different options to choose from and mainly spicy ones.
