The best Chinese dining in New York

The best place in New York to taste the “dazzling flavors of China” is in Flushing, Queens, said Julia Moskin in The New York Times. At this neighborhood’s restaurants and food malls, the variety of noodles and dumplings is simply “mind-bending.” Every kind of Chinese cuisine is represented. To explore them all, “stay on your feet.” Stroll past the storefronts and duck into crowded food courts that can hold up to 12 different vendors. Start with these.
Nan Shian Dumpling House
Head chef Huang Jian Ping “trained for four years at culinary school in Wuxi, near Shanghai, specializing in dumplings.” Her soup dumplings, not surprisingly, are the best in Flushing.
