Food here is great, love the new renovation of the old 黄金商场 (golden street mall) Now it has more food options, cleaner environment with much more delicious food. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in NYC. It provides the most authentic Chinese food in the city. Many options to choose from. Overall solid location!

This place was burned down right before the pandemic, and just recently re-opened. It was filmed in one of Anthony Bourdain's episodes. Yozi is my go-to place. Try the duck soup, and steamed dumplings

A small food court located right next to Tesco. Many of the stalls are local Flushing favorites: ViVis Bubble Tea, Yozi duck noodles etc. I was a bit disappointed that this Yozi didn't have dry hot pot on the menu like its first location in New World Mall, but maybe they'll start offering it in time. They have special duck soup + soup dumpling combos here that are less expensive than if ordered separately.

Unfortunately, I just read that the mall is now closed permanently for renovation. What a bummer! I'll sorely miss Ti Jian scrumptious, freshly-made Dumplings. Oh well I guess that's "progress" for ya. Sorry to see all those wonderful little food shops go.

Hi Friends! Welcome to Flushing's Subterranean Golden Mall. Go down the Stairs and you'll come out on the other side of the world. Pack some cash and set your Google translator to Chinese. Don't forget to bring your hunger for adventures as you enter the belly of the dragon. There is approximately 10 food stalls in this cool underworld food court. These eateries menu boards are mainly in Chinese, you know you're getting the real deal here. The eating arrangements are quite simple. Folded chairs are at folding tables or small booths. Don't Inspect the ceilings or floors too carefully. Get yourself ready from an unparalleled eating experience because you're just not in Kansas anymore. I've been visiting the golden Mall for about 8 years now, my wife first introduced me to the place. The first time I came here I thought I had been transported to China. Then fortunately, I met my friend Neil B. He is a connoisseur of Exotic cuisines and Yelper extraordinaire. I was honored as he became my guide to help unlock the wonders and delicious secrets of the Subterranean Golden Mall. He knows all the folks that preserve and showcase their families secret recipes 5000 years old. He's sampled all of the venues here and knows where each treasure can be found. I thank you my friend Neil. I'm getting really hungry as I'm writing this so I'm already planning my next visit to the Golden Mall.

THAT front stall! My girlfriend and I were in need of a quick, cheap snack/meal on a random Saturday evening and we came upon the infamous Golden Shopping Mall, where it all started for Xian Famous Foods. Xian has since moved a few doors down and, well, expanded into a nice "little" business, but there still remains many authentic northern Chinese entrepreneurs in here. Initially, we walked inside and noticed the small seating area for the hole in the wall restaurants inside/"food court", but weren't sure if we wanted to eat and sit or just grab and go. We walked back out and checked out the food that the fella manning the front stall was selling and it all looked good .. and inexpensive! We were about to walk away, but the man hollered at us in English and asked us what we wanted. To be honest, some of the merchants in Flushing can be downright cold, but this gentleman couldn't be any more friendlier to us as he even volunteered to pose for one of my Yelp photos, but I respectfully declined. We ended up ordering a few items from his stall: a pork bun, lamb burger, beef burger and 2 Chinese chive pocket pancakes with scrambled egg filling. All of it came out to about $11 only! None of the food was anything new to us, since we were used to the flavors, so we loved each and every bite of what we ordered. Plus, we were starving! For the newbies though, the lamb and beef burgers are basically like pita pockets with minced lamb and beef meat. The pork bun is exactly what it's name implies. The chive pocket pancakes are filled with small bits of scrambled eggs and chives. All you have to know is that it's all delicious ... and cheap! We will definitely be back here soon!

If it were the Cold-in Shopping Mall, it'd be freezing inside. Oh wait, in winter it really is. And if it were the Embolden Shopping Mall, then visiting it would cause you to become more brave in general. Oh wait, that may be true. And if it were the Beholden Shopping Mall, then you would find something spectacular to behold inside. And that part is definitely true... BEHOLD! THE "N1" AT XI'AN! Lamb Cumin Handpull Noodle, possibly the best dish in Flushing, in Queens, in NYC, in the USA, and maybe the world. Much better here than at any of the many chain/franchise Xi'an locations popping up around NYC. This is the original, the basement, the best. This is where to come. Of course Xi'an has many other foods to try and some of the (cough cough Lamb Cumin Burger cough) are incredible, but none are as life-changing as the N1. And of course there's Lam Zhou and Lamb Noodle, and many other excellent places to eat within the Golden Mall, but nothing compares to going down the stairs, navigating the catacombs of the East Asian back street-replica underground (OK it's not that hard but it's fun to imagine it is) (I'm talking about finding Xi'an), and getting the N1 and being in heaven, and completely full, for ages. Basically, if you haven't been here, you must. It's more important to experience this place than anything in Manhattan, food-wise. Heading for Brooklyn? Sure, for some vintage dresses and a stacked burger and some bacon flavoured Ice Cream. But if you want the real NYC, the NYC that doesn't exist anywhere else, you come to Queens, head for Flushing, enter the dingy, dirty, run-down, busy, almost-exclusively-Asian, barely-English-speaking Golden Mall, and you go to Xi'an. Thank you, you're welcome very much, and good night. Bet you didn't see this review cumin. I will let Spandau Ballet finish this review. Take it away Tony Hadley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSq8ZBdSxNU You are Golden (Golden) Always get N1 from Xi'an You are Golden You're indestructible You'll never finish it
