I happened to be in NYC again this weekend and a trip to Flushing was in order. I had lunch at New Imperial Palace in Flushing and it was quite delicious.
Chinese broccoli, pork belly hotpot, fish hotpot, seafood hotpot, dungeness crab with sticky rice, and half a crispy skin chicken were ordered. It was quite a nice lunch feast.
All three hotpots or casseroles (whatever you prefer to call them were quite tastey). Fair warning the pork belly was pretty fatty and we ended up not eating the fatty parts. Chinese broccoli ( jia lan) was cooked in garlic and was pretty standard. The two standouts were the crispy chicken and the dungeness crab sticky rice. The chicken skin was very crip and not too salty. The dungeness crab is one of the dishes that New Imperial Palace is known for and while it was a bit expensive it was quite worth it. The sticky rice is infused with the crab's savory taste and is a unique dish that isn't commonly found.
Overall, everyone was very please with their meal and I would highly recommend a visit to all. Their specialty is crab but overall the spin on Cantonese food is a nice refreshing change from the substandard cantonese that has become the staple of Americanized Chinese food in the United States. Then again, its in Flushing so authenticity/deliciousness is a given at most restaurants in that area.
