The Promised Land! After two very dissappointing restaurants (Kwong Ming & The Orchid), we decided to venture to a place with a very solid reputation. It’s not exactly in Nassau/Suffolk, but nevertheless its still on the “Island of Long”. Joe’s Shanghai is located at 136-21 37th Ave. in Flushing. Well, lets just say: The Christians have their Vatican, The Muslims ...

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 ...

Wong's Noodle House - I must admit, I wasn't expecting much when we walked in. The restaurant was highly recommended. Read more!

Fortune Wheel Seafood Resturant Our latest adventure has taken us to Fortune Wheel, located at 3601 Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown. This “Flushing” like restaurant is tucked discreetly between two big box retailers. The meal begins with a Freebie (always a good start). The pickled seaweed with carrots and cabbage was a delicious beginning to what would become a “Hit or Miss” ...

“The King and Mee’s” I must say I got distracted looking for the restaurant tonight.  It was tucked away right past BJ’s Warehouse (bonus Jew Appeal points!!).  I had to call my brother, Yong Joo (who better to ask for directions that the brother we affectionately call “The Wandering Joo”?), and he told me to look past BJ’s (it’s not ...

A Quest On behalf of my cousin (Mee Mi Kee), I am sending out an official request for the name of a CLASSIC Cantonese style restaurant in NYC (Manhattan, but not China Town). He is looking for an old style restaurant that we all grew up on. This place would conjure up images of Sunday night dinners with family. Perhaps it ...
