Jonesing for Jew Food Having withdrawal symptoms suffered as a result of not being able to join Mee brothers at P.F. Chang’s this past Wednesday, I was clearly craving some Chinese food.  Especially with it being so close to Christmas too!  And yes… yes, I will be having Chinese food Christmas Eve. Take out wonton soup on the Sabbath clearly ...

I Like Cho-Sen Island a Latkes! Our latest quest took the Mees to Cho-Sen Island in Lawrence, LI. Cho-Sen Island is a kosher Chinese restaurant located at 367 Central Ave. Although it was not the “perfect” Chinese meal, this place actually was not that bad. The meal starts with the traditional fried noodles on the table, which were quite authentic ...

With happy tummy's, we each rated our Cho-Sen Island experience. And here are our ratings...read more!

Jews Happy! Tonight we dared to venture again across the Queens border in to Flushing.  We ate at the creme de la creme, top of the heap, where the influential Chinese Machas go to eat.  When you want to have a memorable occasion or event, or put on the Ritz, whether it be to impress clients or family, this is ...

Sometimes Expectations Aren’t All That They’re Cracked Up To Be But, then again, sometimes your expectations are a function of your, umm, expectations.  And if your expectations are what you expect from your visit to your local Chinese restaurant, then you will get what you expect.  For those who don’t venture far from home to get a taste of the ...

We Thought We Were in China! [EDIT:  Joe’s Shanghai in Flushing closed last year.  You can visit them in Manhattan and let us know how it is!!] Our Quest to find the BEST Chinese Restaurant on all of Long Island took us tonight to virgin territories.  Our Crusade crossed the veritable dividing line between Nassau County (“Long Island”), and Queens ...

Counter Point I would  like to add a personal commentary to my Brother Magnum’s very eloquent description of our most recent Quest to Kwong Ming in Wantagh.  While I am often described as the “silent” Mee, there is sometimes a need to speak up so that a balanced commentary is achieved. Yes, Kwong Ming is not going to go down ...

Highly Anticipated; Totally Deflated What would you think if I told you that at the end of the meal we fought over who would take the leftovers home?  What would you think if I told you that this is the first time we ever had leftovers left over? Enough said? Eh!  That wouldn’t make much of a blog post, would ...

A Faded Flower Our latest adventure has taken us to Orchid Restaurant located at 730 Franklin Ave. in Garden City. What a disappointment!! It is very hard to believe, but this restaurant came highly recommended. The place is nicely decorated, it kind of looks like a high end Chinese bro….. By the look of the place, you would think the food ...

Faded Bloom Disappointment is all I can say.  I’m going to post lots of pictures, because I don’t have a lot of words to share.  I have been here once before, and the food was good.  This time, we came as Mee’s, and this Mee was disappointed (and as the numerical reviews will attest so were the other Mee’s. Orchid ...
