New World Mall

"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

"The New World Mall is a maze of delicious options: Look in one direction, and a cook is slapping noodles as long as a jump rope at the Lanzhou stand. Look another way, and there’s a huge pan containing around 60 black sesame-topped, soup-filled buns lightly frying at the Pan Bao 66 stall. All over the place, cooks are folding pork and chive dumplings, dusting cumin and chile powder over Uyghur-style lamb kebabs, and stir-frying fish and veggies in mala spices. Go with friends to mix and match and share everything." - Caroline Shin

"New World Mall is a food hall in Flushing that has outpaced the success of Golden Mall over the years. It represents the influx of more upscale dining options in the area." - Emma Orlow

"New World Mall is known for their always busy food court downstairs with a wide range of cuisines to choose from, we suggest securing your seats first and then taking turns visiting all the stalls. Also, before leaving be sure to grab one of the best egg tarts at New Flushing Bakery situation by the supermarket inside the mall. On the first and upper levels you'll also find smaller shops to poke around as you walk off all the food you ate!" - QNS MADE
