Nan Xiang Dumpling House, or Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao if you prefer the native tongue, is a highly rated Chinese restaurant in Flushing, NY.  Recommended by Michelin Guide 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.  That’s nice and quaint.  But what should really impress is that it’s The Chinese Quest recommended in 2015!  THAT should keep the lines ...

Last night I had the strangest dream.  I dreamed of the most delicious and authentic Chinese meal.  Some of my closest friends in the world were there.  A world-renowned food reporter was there too.  Jennifer Lopez provided the entertainment.  And even someone I hadn’t seen in over 40 years from my days at Camp Boiberik was there too.  What a ...

On December 23rd, the Quest ended up at Pine Court Chinese Bistro located at 249-32 Horace Harding Expressway, in Little Neck for our 26th restaurant review. I have to say this was our most convenient dinner with our “Happy Hour” meeting place, liquor store (BYOB), Pine Court, and Carvel all within one half block. Although the place looked like it ...
