Chop Suey

We are still shaken by the closing of Jade King last week.  As I'm sure you're well aware of now, but after 45 years, Jade King suddenly closed their doors, leaving the neighborhood in a lurch.  There are fewer and fewer old-school Chinese restaurants around.  White tablecloths are being hung up for good.  It's sad.  While Jade King wasn't our favorite Chinese restaurant, by far, it's still a shame.  Years ago, we lost Hoi Ming, and now this. Please share your thoughts in the comments ("Reply") box below the article.

If you stroll through Manhattan on Christmas Day, you’ll witness a migration as predictable as the seasons: herds of Jewish families—decked out in their finest puffer coats and Hanukkah sweaters—bee-lining for the best Chinese joint uptown. Forget figgy pudding; tonight, it’s all about crispy duck and those addictive little fried noodles you pretend you’re “just nibbling.” Click to read the rest of the story.

Join us for our fourth podcast, "The Rise and Fall of Jade King".  As we detailed in this article, Jade King, an old-school Americanized Chinese restaurant that, for 45 years, was a staple in Roslyn Heights, NY, has closed.  The King is Dead 😭.  Long Live the King!    Sure, we had our differences, but we are as dismayed as you are by this tragic news.  So, we took to the airwaves to discuss our feelings and discuss what went wrong after all these years.

The rumor on the street is that Jade King in Roslyn, NY is closing their doors after 45 years to be replaced by a Chipotle due to rising rent 🥹 Another piece of Americana bites the dust. Is it too late to save them? I penned this ode for us to always keep Jade King in our hearts.

It's been recommended that we make this, Alison Gold's "Chinese Food", the official song of the Chinese Quest. What do you think?

The Chinese Quest has reviewed Nan Xiang Soup dumplings, proclaiming their Westbury, NY location's offerings as potentially the "city's best soup dumplings". The review highlights the signature pork dumplings as flavorful and notes they also feature other varieties like chicken and truffle and pork, with some diners preferring the truffle and pork for their richer broth.  Now listen to our AI-generated podcast in this post.

If you're a Jewish person, I'm sure many of you are starting to think about your plans for Christmas. My friend, and former bunk-mate at Camp Boiberik back in the day, Itzek Gottesman made this presentation on "Old World Jewish Christmas Traditions". I think you will enjoy it!
