Justin is a great addition to the Barr-io! Plus he's got that smooth FM voice. 😍
🙌🏼
Thanks so much, Helen! Super appreciate your kind words + support!!!
@@hungryartistny A pleasure, Justin! Now following! I can't wait to return to NYC... 🤩
I love Flushing with all of my heart. I'm there several times a week during the school year because of how amazing and cheap everything there is.
🙌🏼 thanks Ian
The bakery is absoutely a classic and everybody should try an egg tart or 2. It's one of the oldest bakery snacks i've known as an asian new yorker. Definitely taking my kids here next time
I learn something new everyday. As a lifelong NY’er and lover of the dishes from Chinatown I never heard of Portuguese egg tarts and certainly wouldn’t expect to find them there. 😊
Egg tarts are probably the most common items I think in Chinese bakeries. I’ve seen them in the suburbs of Atlanta in Chinese communities.
Flushing is amazing. So, so busy on Main Street. The food is out of this world
I see my friend Justin made it in your video. I help him shoot at times. I’m glad he was able to show you around Chinatown in flushing. He is very informative and knows his stuff. He’s an amazing foodie/content creator as well as amazing artist. Hope to meet you one day Jon and keep up with the great work. 💪🏽
Thank you, homie! My content wouldn’t be possible without your help. Let’s all do a food crawl sometime!
@@hungryartistny yeah bro for sure, see you Wednesday 😎
Justin's face at 10:29 is amazing.
I came over from England last month and ventured over to Queens from Manhattan for the day. So good 💙
Smart!
I visited England to try the kidney pie. Love it.
Looks wonderful. Cant wait to visit!
I really enjoyed listening to your friend. He's very well-spoken. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much, Sandra! I had a blast hanging out with Jon and eating around Flushing!
Love all videos look forward seeing them awesome 👏🏻
Once again, a great video!
can't beat the food scene in Flushing, great video!
The best!
Really enjoyed watching this 👌 So many different, delicious looking options. Great job Jon.
Great video! I hope you get to make more of these in other types of area in NYC such as the other large Chinatown in NYC (Sunset Park Brooklyn), Borough Park in Brooklyn (the largest Jewish population outside of Israel), Midwood Brooklyn (a large Russian neighborhood) and the Parkchester area of the Bronx (known as Little Bangladesh).
Midwood, Brooklyn also has a large Pakistani-American community.
Great ep as usual
Hi Jon. I really enjoyed this video. Cool walk, great vibe from the neighborhood and delicious looking food. Nicely reviewed with details. Thanks.
Another fantastic ep Jon 🙌. I wouldn’t have known how great the Chinese food was in Flushing. Love meeting your mates on here too. That lamb dish looks stunning 😮. I really appreciate all the places you showcase ❤
Thanks for supporting!!!
Flushing is good for learning about less known Chinese food items. It’s more about learning and exploring.
I went there about a month ago and it is crazy. Feels like you're in a Chinese city.
Excellent video!
thanks for coming out and showing love for Flushing.
Great video, Your facial expressions really lets me know the food is very good!! Also I would love to see you try Haitain food.... I know you will love almost every dish😁
Thanks for coming to my hometown! There are so many food to try there, Great to see you enjoy them.
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)😋😋😋
All are excellent!
This video was really well done. I think your Chinese food videos really hit the mark especially when you have Chinese foodies as guests. This guest is great. Ben & Ming are great too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for the support! I had a blast eating and exploring Flushing with Jon!
Ming is arguably one of the greatest guests. She has a magical vibe
love it!
Great video.
Great tour, Jon! You know where I live, and I shoot to Main St. often. It's 0720 on a Monday, and I'm about to call out of work to go eat😂
Great stuff guys. Justin is the best. New Flushing Bakkery, aka the Egg Tart King is the best!!
Joe I appreciate your seal of approval :)
Happy 4th of July, 2023. Enjoy and be safe.
I had not been to downtown Flushing since I moved out of Queens. I need to visit soon. 😊
Man love all your videos specially the Flushing area! Visit the basement malls they have more food!
Damn, all that food looks awesome. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the 4th of July video! Your food vids are the best Barr none! 😂
I don’t know if you’ve been but Tantou Wang’s Fuzhou Fishball on Main Street (across the street from the library), makes great dumplings and peanut butter noodles for cheap. Also, Best North Flushing Dumpling Shop makes great dumplings and spicy wontons. It’s on the block after Tantou.
The park on 40 Rd that these guys ate White Bear wontons at was called TB park because a local gang called Taiwan Brothers used to hang out at the handball court there.
Wow, thanks for the insight
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.
That food looks so delicious
Now this is making me wanna visit New York.
Wow these look so good 😍
Just got back from my trip to new york and i wanted to say thank you so much for the tips and places to eat. Absolute bagel was really good. One thing that you should add in a future video is havinf exact cash at street vendors or asking them for the price because i got ripped off at two food trucks inna row
I love that they order three of everything. One for the camera guy.
No fried skewers from Mala siblings? You def gotta try it the squid being my fave!
Chinese black vinegar made a difference to my taste buds, it's so good. 😋👍🌻
Another fine video from my hometown. Truly, the best place to get true Chinese food.
It really is!
@@HereBeBarr You’ve been doing such a great job with these videos. I still think of Ben and pray to God that he gets better.
I guess the snack you got at that Northern China Shaobing shop is simply the Northern version of a scripy flat scallion pancake which is bigger than Southern versions, cut and tossed with that spicy dark sauce. Could be a Laobing or Cong you bing version.
Last episode I watched you made me look up recipes for Jamaican Patties. Going shopping tomorrow. What else am I going to have to pick up because I am on west coast so have to cook it myself.
The answer is steamed rice rolls.... Nowhere around here so again looking it up though this one I may have many of the parts but grab rest tomorrow. lol
That special treat the owner gave you, the bread with the sauce and the bacon bits looks so good. What is it called?
Everything looked so delicious. Not a complaint, but when I eat at Chinese restaurants, I try to include some veggies, such as broccoli family. If you want to do another video that includes them, I won't be mad. Also, I loved how you guys did you toast with the chopsticks.
Broccoli is great but it’s going to make you fart a lot
I would love to visit
Jon…You can NEVER go wrong with a food crawl video. ESPECIALLY in NYC. Again…FANTASTIC video. Based on my list, I’ll have to stay in NYC for about 6 months to eat at all of the places you have shown me. Thank you again for another great food tour! If you can, send a Ben update? Miss seeing him on these vids. 🙋♀️🙏🏻👏🏻💖
Thanks. Latest update is on my community tab
Thank you for that. Unaware of Community tab. Ben is still in my prayers. 🙏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻💪🏻
Went to the Yukon spot my first trip there a year ago. Being from a smaller town that was my first taste of culture shock lol
egg tarts are $2.75?! wow. i'm glad they're good!
Me: What do you want me to say?
Crush: 3 magic words
Me: Peking. Duck. Baos.
hahaha 😂
I love those egg tarts on New years.
I went to China and didn’t totally understand why there was the egg tart/pastel da nata was a thing there, now I do! Great video 👍
Thanks so much! Yeah, Portuguese influence on Macau. The story is quite interesting!
I had a pork bun from Bao Tea House today in chinatown Manhattan and I thought it was absolutely amazing! English spoken. Easy to approach! Great experience!
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
@@ramencurry6672 Have you tried their pork bun though?
@@dori3590Not yet
There are some of those food halls in K-Town too.
Yes i love the one in Koreatown!
I like your palette & that u r down to earth with foods. I think to say u r adventurous w/ food is not what I would say because I think people who r not open to foods from different cultures r just missing out.
Gotta love those Chinese food courts. Lots of exotic dishes, for $10 bucks.
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.
Very nice selection of delicious looking food! Can you do a video of San Francisco's Chinatown Soon? Happy Independence Day
That would be fun
Looking forward to watching that ...most likely will fly up to San Francisco next year
@@HereBeBarr, could you ever come to Toronto and check out our two Chinatowns? Heck, can you come to Toronto and check the whole city out?
Watching this literally as I got off the 7 at flushing/Main
Great video! I want to know who's swinging the camera?
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.
Yeah let's eat shall we😅
They also sell veggies! Veggies on the side off the foods!
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.
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.
It can be easier for immigrants if they help each other. If you’re a loner and keep to yourself it can be more difficult especially if English is not your first language.
Dunno about other immigrants, but in NYC some Chinese landlords rent out places only to Chinese immigrants cheaply. You need to speak Chinese to qualify
Our Portuguese egg tarts are the best❤❤❤
I really had a good laugh when I saw that the first "Chinese" food they sampled basically was a good ole pastel de nata.
$ 2.75 looks pricey to me, though.
The rice roll is amazing floating in some soy omg!!!
Good guest host, seems to know his childhood neighborhood well.
Yo homie was already two for two when he got the egg tarts and then effing White Bear?! That is iconic Flushing staples.
Are the wontons at White Bear made with pork and shrimp? I really want them, but I have a shellfish allergy =/
I want to correct what Mike don’t know about Joes Rice Roll is the owner uses real rice to make the dough. They have a machine that spins the rice mixture that is why it is authentic rather than the fake rice flour.
John is the best. 🎉🎉🎉
Love the 红油抄手. I get it locally, but I need to put some hot oil on it. They tend to make everything फिरंगी-spicy, otherwise.
Hi. I love your videos. I’m also Asian-American. My parent also speak Chinese
the park on 40th road was called TB park because a gang named 'taiwanese boys' used to hang out there
I live in flushing.I went to half the places he went
I would love to go to all of the places you went to I would gain 20 pounds but it would be worth it
btw I love your content
Chinatown is just a subway trip away from me, and I still haven't gone. Will this video give me the motivation to do so!?
Yes!
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.
Why does he have to close his eyes when he takes a bite 🤣🤣🤣
man that cheung fun had my stomach in protest for anything but cheung fun
I’ve been to New York City dozens of times and I had no idea Queens had a Chinatown
World’s largest china town is actually district 5 (Cho Lon) in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam - population over 500,000
Do a dim sum restaurant during the weekend
Hey I am not a tourist and I do not eat Chinese but I like this video-thumbs up like hit
Most people in the general public don’t travel or eat like this but with the videos, you can eat in spirit.
💕💕🇺🇸
Joe's actually mills their own rice flour! That's some Michelin-star-level shit.
"I'm fine with meat being stuffed into something, I'm used to that" -Chad (Jon)
How about Vancouver I think they would have a bigger Chinatown
Here Be Barr, do you think your spicy threshold is now higher? That may be the reason you found its not as spicy.
It’s grown yes. But I don’t think white bear was that spicy irregardless
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
It really feels like being in China
It feels like times square too
Bangkok technically has the world’s largest 🫢
Please go to stickies chicken fingers
I miss Joe’s Ginger
John hi, can you do a review of Dallas BBQ in Times Square, I had roast chicken there, you go up stairs to eat, it was amazing, and affordable, I was in New York in November, and your videos were my guide, Respect, thank you. I also used the Air Train and Subway E Train to 42nd Street, I stayed in the Westin, by using your guide, I saved my self $100 in taxi cabs I took the Subway.
This area also looks like Oakland Chinatown.
Hi
TB = Taiwan Boy? My generation 😂
Largest Chinatown is actually Yaorowat in Bangkok
