    Oh man, John, you are making me hungry again😂😂I have been to every shop in this video and literally every single one of them are good. However, my favorite places are that bakery (both style of egg tarts are delicious), the White Bear (wontons with chili oil), and Joe steam rice rolls. But out of those 3, if I am on a tight budget and asked me to just pick one, I would definitely do the rice rolls(definitely put the soy sauce and chili sauce onto it)😋😋😋

    Whitestone Queens native here, I went to and through Flushing countless times in the 1970s, pre-Chinatown. Honestly, I think I would need a guide and translator to get around now, but the food would make it worthwhile! There has been so much development - retail, residential, hotel. I'm guessing that much of the investment here quickened when Hong Kong reverted to China.

    Ya, I know, everyone's covered it dozens of times, but one of the best values is the $7 dollar rice box. duck, chicken, roast pork or cha siu on a heaping pile of steamed rice with wilted napa cabbage. Line ups every day for the stuff. I like the two item rice box. Extra meat for $3 dollars more.

    The best thing about New York City is it’s diversity, as witness to this neighborhood you are just in here. I have always wondered though, how can immigrants, and I might be wrongfully assuming here, but who come here with not a whole lot of financial resources afford rents in the city? I know there’s obviously rent control and rent stabilization, but everyone knows how hard it is to qualify or win the lottery for those. even the outer boroughs, which are relatively affordable are still massively expensive even for natives of the country, I can only imagine how difficult it would be for someone who is coming to this country completely broke as many immigrants do.

    • @ramencurry6672

    WOW!
    I'm originally from Great Neck, a 10 to 15 minute drive from Flushing. It was one of my of my old stomping grounds. It really has changed over the years.
    In the '70s, it was primarily Japanese. Back then it was the only area in New York where you could go to a Japanese Japanese restaurant and not pay through the nose. My parents and I would hit Dosanko on Main Street one or twice a week for about two years. There was also Main Street Foods, Japanese supermarket that had everything needed to cook Japanese food, and plenty of packaged and frozen Japanese food as well; you could even buy Japanese toys there! Iwas also the first place I ever saw an ATM. The Japanese banks in Japan and in America (?) had ATMs long before the American banks. There was also C.H. Foods (I think on Union Street) which was much smaller.
    By the early '80s, most of the Japanese had moved out to more prestigious places in the area: Port Washington, Manhasset, Manhattan, Rye, and Scarsdale, in New York; Fort Lee, and Weehauken, in New Jersey. It was too bad, because Flushing was well on it's way to becoming the Little Tokyo of New York City, and probably the entire east coast. The neighborhood carried on, and the Koreans moved in. Later in the '80s, the Chinese moved in as well. It was great! Now, it's what we see in this video, and it's thriving even more.
    I left New York (the first time) over 20 years ago, and moved overseas. I used to go back every year or two, but have not been back since 2018. Next time I go back t New York, I'll definitely be returning to Flushing!
    Thanks for posting this.

    I love your videos including this one though being Flushing born and raised but now living abroad for the last 30 years I must say that bagel video a few days was a form of torture since I so much miss a proper NYC bagel. My mom passed away in 2015 and I haven't been home to Flushing since and do miss it. That all said... I do believe I live in the city outside of China with the largest Chinatown being Saigon which is purportedly so by both area and Chinese population of 500,000+ in the Cho Lon district of the city. There are incredibly good choices here especially dim sum but honestly speaking Flushing probably rules when it comes to the totality of the food choices. Anyway... may you live long and prosper to make many more videos.

      English is usually not a problem even if the workers don’t speak English. They will know basic survival English for standard business transactions. Even in foreign countries, store employees who don’t speak English will know the survival phrases to help Americans

      It depends. If you have a fascination with details of less known Chinese foods, do it and personally I’m a fan…….But If you’re more of general “greatest hits” Chinese food eater, you may be disappointed.

      A lot of these Chinese places have been using milder chili oil which is actually a little bit of a pet peeve. Fortunately there are some places that continue to use the spicy versions but you have to keep poking around to see which joints keep it spicy
