In NYC there is so many options on where to eat that I think 2 weeks won’t be enough time to enjoy a holiday. I would need 2 more weeks. Great video.

No thank you I don’t like

Man I've lived in flushing my entire life... but I won't lie as a Hispanic kid I've been intimidated past trying much of the local food. Seeing people exploring the places I pass by everyday... It really inspires me to get out there and try it for myself. Thanks guys!

The name of the first place is actually Changle Cuisine INC. Best North Dumpling shop is another stall inside the same building just a few feet away.

Shout out to peanut noodles and wontons. As a someone from Fuzhou I grew up eating peanut noodles and wontons from those shops in Flushing. I keep telling everyone I know to try it, happy to see it get more recognition. P.s. mixing some vinegar into the peanut noodles takes it to a whole other level

Jon, very nicely done. Your collaboration videos tend to be some of your best. It just goes to show you that authentic Chinese food doesn't have to be expensive or fancy. And as someone who use to live in Bayside way back when, I wish Flushing could have offered these wonderful Asian treats at that time. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching. Your friend Mike.

First time stumbling upon your videos. Love your guys take on good cheap eats. Never gets old. Keep on smiling 🙂!!

I LOVE the synergy you guys have when yall make videos together!! 🥰

Yeah it’s really effortless

Great advice from the young lady who said to bring in a picture of what you want to eat to show restaurant staff who speak mostly Chinese.

I really enjoyed this video. Even though I go to Flushing often, I haven't been to any of these spots and my family is also Fujianese so I love seeing these homey dishes!

As someone who has been eating their way around Flushing for years, I'm so glad you featured this. Flushing, in my opinion, should be considered the real Chinatown of NYC. And yes, most of the menus might be in Chinese, but there is usually at least one employee that understands some English. Even if they don't, there are plenty of people around who are happy to help overcome any language barrier.

I’ll take manhattan anyday over flushing. Yes great places in flushing but no character like manhattan

I am moving to NYC this August and hope to meet you one day in person and serve you and your wife the dumplings 🥟 I made by myself .Now I see you live pork more than fish.Your videos gave me so much inspiration and courage to apply for the school in NYC.💜

Going to flushing Chinatown tomorrow!!!! I have been missing it. Can't wait to eat at these hole in wall places, and get a bunch of good stuff at US 1 Supermarket.

I know you don't do foodie tours but if you did, we would be all over them every time we visited from the UK. Love your videos, they offer so many good places to try out. Thank you!

flushing has so many hidden gems, so i'm so happy you fell in love with my hood and do come back to explore some more! :)

Another interesting video; congrats man!!!

Hard to believe in this unprecedented inflation times you can find great foods for incredible prices. The cheap eats videos are great. Thank you Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana

Hi from Germany, love your videos - binge watching them since I fly to NYC next week ☺

#1 travel food goals and chinese food lovers mecca! Excellent vid.❤

I'm from flushing and haven't been to these places will definitely check them out!!

Those peanut noodles look so good I could cry. I’m in Michigan and I’m tasting them!!!

I missed Flushing and all the eats. Thank you for the tour.

Not sure if youve tried the 2 dollar peking duck bao buns in flushing but they're TO DIE FOR

I want to clarify that Chinatown isn't in Flushing Queens. OG Chinatown is in downtown manhattan. So if you want to visit flushing locals, its in a completely different area.

Loved this video. Not far from where I grew up. Best Chinese food in NYC.

I’m in NYC thank you for the tips😁

Growing up, I have always love Wonton Soup.

A yummy journey into NYC! !

Another interesting video Jon. You tried some interesting food there. I must say I wouldn't fancy some of the dishes you tried. First place definitely looked the best. How do you guys find these cheap eats places. Good to see the diversity of New York and what other cultures eat and can get in NYC.

Hey Jon, me and my family enjoy watching your video so much that we booked a trip to New York for Thanksgiving 😆 any suggestions for a great Thanksgiving dinner maybe a nice sit down place for me wife and kids ?

Respect john for putting light into FJ food that I eat growing up.

Haven’t been back to Flushing in years. I gotta go visit!

Maybe it’s time to visit Flushing

I will definitely look for these places when I visit NYC in june

Jon I'm going to need to be at least three days in NYC in order to enjoy and explore the other boroughs.

I need to try some of these spots.

Your soul is very nicely. Thanks for your work.

It looks sooo delicious

flushing is so fun

When you have any local chinese style cuisines used oil a lot for frying, I would like to suggest you try to eat raw onions or chinese chives as much as possible and then drink a hot and warm chinese tea such as green tea or puer tea.

What a great foodie adventure! These hole-in-the-wall shops can be difficult to find, but they're worth the visit - true hidden gems! Thanks for making the trek to Flushing for this food crawl, Jon 🤗

Do ya know where exactly that peanut butter noodles coz ones of my fave place in flushing is closed 😢 ..they’re is so good!

love it... can i also request you to make vids focusing maybe on halal and kosher meal? ive never tried kosher meal so would love to give it a try in the Big Apple.

I would love to see a video comparing where to get a good Knish in New York, loved them when I was a kid. A video on where to still find a soda fountain egg cream in the city, take care can’t wait to visit in June Bill in Fort Wayne Indiana

FJ fish balls are my favorite

Oh shoot I've been to the place at 0:29. I had this good rabbit noodle soup...oooh it was so savory and kind of sweet. It is so depressing to know that places like that are disappearing...

Thanks you never disappoint! I will be in NYC in June for my 25th anniversary and was wondering if you could recommend some nice places with great views. I'm trying to impress but not have to sell the house..lol thanks!

The third place you went to where owner recognized you used to be good but they went down! Found TWO BUGS and a HAIR in my food last time i went. There's another competitor that opened up around the corner.

I see the pictures and there are English translations, so it will be easy to pick the food. 😋 Those hole in the wall eateries tend to be better than the regular eateries.

Well when I saw the poh hwa I immediately thought about the nearly not known oyster cake so I did not know a veggie version exists. 🙈

Always love your team ups! Always wonder…how do these get set up? Did you contact Ben and Ming? Did they get in touch with you? Was there a middle person who suggested this to both of you?

One of the things I love about the channel Jon knows how to really make you feel like a New Yorker. He’s right Flushing is really a hidden spot with so many options in food even I’m mad at myself when i go there because I want to try every food item in every restaurant

Hell Yeah I love it when you do Queens videos!!! I use to live in Flushing back in 2016-2018

Can you explain the name for “Dimes” Square That’s emerging? This video remind me the area around China town seems to be changing rapidly.

A Chinese hole in the wall near me it's carry out only, I like their lunch special Egg Foo Young with gravy, fried rice, egg roll, it's cheap but last time the Egg Foo Young and fried rice were so oily I could barely eat it Boo

I'm going to NYC in late June, where's the best places to play Pinball?

Ah Flushing. Downtown during rush hour it’s like Times Square minus tourists. Pork and fish balls? Not sure be brave to try that….

Very interesting. In Chinese restaurants there can be (2) different menus -one in Chinese and one in English. Actually what I heard was that some restaurants are less Anericanized" and offer more traditional Chinese dishes that you would normally find. The key is to do what you did -go with someone who knows the language and food. "Chinese style"is not the sane as authentic Chinese. It's comparable to let's say "Kosher-style" to kosher Many "Chinese" dishes are American creations and not eaten among native Chinese. This goes on in all cultures "Americanized" vs the "real thing" Lastly interesting fact -go back about 40-50 years where you are in Flushing near the #7 subway had more of a Jewish presence. Thumbs up.

They have two menus because they charge non Chinese higher prices for the same items. This is illegal and discriminatory.

How about being clean some of these places are congested and not clean sanitary is very low also flushing wasn’t like this I the 1990 and 1980 also people were nicer also How is it legal that the signs are not in English like I mean the signs outside of the stores I think that should be illegal

He is so right about gems that disappeared over the years. 5:47 Just down the block used to be the Golden Mall basement which was the OG of the Flushing food courts and a gem with the original Xi’an Famous Foods

All food from FuZhou but most of people in flushing are from north so come to try different food.

Any recommendation on where to do a one stop shop for someone thats coming alone? The Menu in chinese at the noodle place intimidated me bu it looks great!
