Flower Brook Mifen House

"great neighborhood spot, lowkey a hidden gem since it’s not usually that busy so I can get food pretty fast. A good amount of noodles for the price and service was nice. The interior/atmosphere looks modern and cleaner than other restaurants in the area. Beef noodles had rich broth and bouncy mifen. Comes on a wooden tray with three other small pickled vegetables that you can add yourself. The pork burger or 肉夹馍 had a crispy outside and flavorful inside. Table has dried chilis, chili oil, sriracha, and black vinegar to add yourself. Also they do take card here, but had to tip in cash."

"My son has been wanting to taste "authentic" Chinese food in Flushing for a long time, and a trip to JFK took us there. This place is a real gem - we had thought that it was a small noodle house, so were pleasantly surprised to see that they had a rich and diverse menu. Although specializing mostly in southwestern Chinese cuisine, the menu also features certain northern flavors, such as the famous Shaanxi hamburger "marinated meat in baked bun"（肉夾饃）. My son ordered one and claimed it was delicious - the bun had a crispy shell and the braised pork inside was cooked to perfection. I ordered the vegetarian Mifen (rice noodle) in a clay pot. I thought it would come out in a petite jar, but it was in a real size POT that could feed a whole family! The noodle soup was a bit on the bland side, but with the line up of seasonings on the table, I customized my own flavors. My son loves "Stinky Tofu" - in this version, it was pungent fermented tofu fried crispy on the outside in a dipping sauce. Although I generally stay clear of strong smells (I avoid durian at all cost), this plate of tofu was a nice surprise! It didn't smell much but tasted really nice. My son chose the "sliced lamb mifen", which he consumed with gusto. We also ordered "fish fillet in hot chilli oil" (水煮魚）, which was infused with Szechuan peppercorn that left one's tongue and throat tingling. The portions were generous for the modest pricing, we packed most of the fish dish home for our next dinner. p.s. The menu on the internet is incomplete. I could not find most of the dishes that we ordered."

"I was not sure if I would like this place but I decided to give it a try and I am so glad that I did! I got the sliced lamb mifen which is lamb and noodle soup. There was a brown colored egg and lots of veggies in the soup also and oh my god every single bite was an explosion of flavor!!! Even just a bok choy or a spoonful of broth was just so incredibly delicious I couldn’t even believe it! I was wowed and will definitely be back!! Can’t wait to be wowed again. I also tried the minced pork mifen and the spicy cumin lamb burger and all was good. The burger was especially good after dipping into my soup broth. Also the atmosphere was very impressive given the tiny size of the place. The art on the walls was super cool and it felt awesome sitting down to eat there."

"This restaurant appears to be newly opened. Either that or the owner keeps it very clean, especially the restroom. It was a happy find because the menu is quite gluten friendly. The word "Mifen" translates to rice noodles. So my family all ordered various beef noodle soup as a standard comparison. The presentation was good. The broth was seasoned with fresh herbs. It could stand to have more body but sauces and pickles are provided to customize flavor. The cuisine apparently hails from Quizhou province with beef and mutton as main proteins. It also has spicy influence from Sichuan to the North and Hunan to the East."

"I’m impressed by this little restaurant. It’s nicely decorated. We ordered beef noodle soup and wonton. Both came out very delicious with good portion. The service was fast and friendly. We also bought their hand made dumplings. The owner was nice enough to find an insulation bag to keep the frozen dumplings cold for our travel. Will definitely come back when in this area."
