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 ...

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 ...

Time is money! Yes, the Chinese Quest is all about finding you the best Chinese restaurant on all of Long Island. But, still, we are Jews. Read more!

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 ...

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 ...

First we review them.  Then we WILL rank them! Currently we have a separate page where all of our reviews are automatically cross-posted.  Now that we are rapidly approaching a scientifically significant sample size of Chinese restaurants in our “test lab”, we will soon be offering a report that will rank the Top 3 Chinese restaurants on not only there ...

“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 ...
