Places to avoid
-Corner 28, place shut down completely by health dept multiple times - still in business but would you really risk it ?
-Big bowl aka red bowl - opposite corner of Corner 28, same issue, shutdown by health dept - this place actually has the worse food and service, you can't get service but when you tip bad, they start speaking english to you
-Red chopstick - across the big bowl/red bowl place, same issue shutdown multiple times

The new world mall across corner 28 actually has some decent stuff, the dimsum on 3rd/4th floor isn't bad, has wide variety of food but they're rated as B..
The Nan xiang dumpling as mention above is pretty good but service is lacking, they recent expanded again to the place next door, business is booming so they can afford it.. food is good but service blows
40th road by the lirr/basketball section has some interesting food, but just avoid the B & C rating places, you do not want to get sick, there are a few A's on that block
And since you're at flushing, Coco Tea, quickly, Kung Fu tea are all good. I would avoid the "pearls" or bubbles, they're chemically made and often not fully cooked. I would get pudding with the "bubble teas"
Next to Joe's is Imperial Palace - used to be good, they cut back on the portions, still not bad by expensive compared to before, I think they have a B, they have 2 locations.
Theres Mellies far from downtown main st, corner of Northern Blvd and Union, its almost as good as Imperial Palace but just further walk .
