How to eat your way through one of New York’s greatest food courts
opened in the heart of downtown Flushing some eight years ago, it set out to be the biggest Asian indoor mall not only in New York, but also in the Northeast. As in comparable structures such as the Time Warner Center, dining has become a huge way to draw crowds. Then and today, the sprawling basement food court is one of the famous dining destinations in the neighborhood — known for its diversity of Chinese and other Asian cuisines, its affordability, and its heft.
Though New World Mall has already cemented its status as a must-go in the neighborhood, it’s also a bit overwhelming. The food court’s website isn’t always updated, and many of the stalls have frequent turnover. Plus, entering the crowded expanse is daunting: With so many options, it’s hard to know where to start.
So in February, Eater staffers and some trusted confidants set out to try all 26 food stalls in the property, picking signature dishes from each one and rating them on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the best. Many noodle soups were slurped, dumplings sampled, and dry pots sweated over. Some bites were revelatory; others were, uh, not.
We came away with some realizations, which boil down to this: Even though Flushing has changed in the last eight years, with increased competition, New World Mall is still an exciting place to eat, attracting hordes of families, teens, and other people in the neighborhood for food. Here are the top-10 ranked stalls and what we ordered, from two ideally spiced dry pots to an uber-soft fish dumpling. Note: We skipped the bubble tea places. They’re all pretty good.Toward the end of a multiple-hour endeavor of trying all the stalls, somehow the dry pots at Tian Fu still captured Eater’s group of diners.
