New World Mall — Attraction in New York

This place has alot to offer. But the crowds are chaotic...I felt like i was back in the Philippines street market with the pushy crowds. Biggest tip i have for this place : BRING CASH!! They do have a parking garage, located right before the entrance to the mall. The parking garage is very short. So be aware opening your trunk if you have a SUV. Be very conscious and aware making turns on the loops bc the roadway is narrow, has blind spots and tight turns on the loops particularly. Be aware that many of the food offerings are cash only. Since everything is pretty much made to order everywhere, it does take around 10 to more mins to get your orders. Alot of menus are in the native language of the food offerings. But don't stress too much if you can't read the options in that language bc many do show english menus too. The cafeteria can get crazy busy at times, so you will most likely have to share your table with strangers at times. They opened up a new spa upstairs and my husband tried it, but was told at the end that it was cash only. There were no atms upstairs, or really anywhere. There's really weak to no cellphone service within the building too, so he had a difficult time reaching me to get some cash for him. Luckily after 20mins of "idk how I'm supposed to pay" since he doesn't carrry too much cash, being a card person...one of the workers allowed for a zelle payment to their personal account. The parking as well is cash only. Because the parking garage entrance and exit is on a busy road, it can be hard entering and leaving. There are staff who will hold foot traffic back the best way they can, but pedestrians do what they want and will try to get hit and challenge the staff and your vehicle. Really ballsy. So you just have to be very aware of your surroundings. If you spend over $50 at jmart you can get your parking validated for up to 2 hrs. Don't forget your reusable bags too! If you forget, they offer for purchase reusable bags. But they are not $.05 bags because they are...

I have been going to the mall for many times. I have eaten at the basement food court for many times. In fact I bought food from this particular "Shang zi wei, hao xin xiang" place for many times before. My friends and I like their food, especially a spicy big bowl mixed with all kinds of meats and veggies in some spicy sauce. Today, however, I found out that the food was still good BUT the owner/employees are not so honest. I purchased their food for $40 plus and among them was quail eggs. I even told one of my family members that I got the quail eggs for my kids. Then when my food order was ready, I picked it up. I felt that the portion of the dish itself was much smaller compared to the past. As I suspected I checked whether there were what I ordered. Among them, I saw fish, beef, pork, and others. Then, we started eating happily. We were enjoying it. Then, 15-20 min into it, I realized I hadn't given any quail eggs to my kids. So I asked my family if they saw the eggs because I hadn't seen it. The answer I got was "no" from everyone. I know I ordered them, I saw them put 3-5 eggs into the bowl, they weight them (because they sell based on weight) I paid for them, and there were no quail eggs. So I went and complained and as usual, they were looking at me and had no comment. This kind of dishonesty really disappointed me. So I told my family we are NOT buying from them anymore. Attached is the store's picture. The mall should have a place where they accept these kinds of...

Most visitors & tourists will not know New World Mall for their "Prime" dimsum & hotpot restaurants on the upper floors. You'll likely find better eateries elsewhere in Flushing.

Instead, it's their fantastic food court on the Basement level (look for their escalator going downward or the elevators on the street level) which houses numerous "pick up & to go" food stalls that have the most rotating visitors. The meals are quite affordable as far as Flushing offers, & there are enough variation that eating here 7x days straight will easily net you 7x different fun & appetizing dishes!

Note, the large open space is cafeteria designed- where strangers having their meals can literally surround you. It's maintained decently by the cleanup staff, as I never really had difficulty finding a sanitary seat & table.

On the ground level is JMart, a superb Chinese grocery. There are an assortment of Asian food items which won't be found anywhere else locally & the core reason for this is, New World's massive size. The prices are somewhat higher for basic fruits, vegetables, & meats (still cheaper than the nicer H-marts) so bookmark the cost of what's on your shopping list going / exiting New World as there are highly Competitive groceries...
