Queens Eats, Restaurant Roundup - Dee Thai Restaurant, Pa'Oun, Poodam's, Arepas Cafe, Xinjiang Lamb Skewer, Upi Jaya
Wednesday July 23, 2008
- NY Mag's Eat Cheap 2008 is out and recommends a few in Queens
- Rising Thai
Dee Thai Restaurant (46-17 Queens Blvd, Sunnyside, 718-786-3137), Pa'Oun (53-21 Roosevelt Ave, Woodside, 718-205-6063), and Poodam's (44-19 Broadway, Astoria, 718-278-3010) all receive laurels and get named the "new-Queens-Thai tour."
- Arepas and Empanadas
Cilantro-garlic is the word and the sauce at Venezuelan Arepas Cafe (33-07 36th Ave, Astoria, 718-937-3835).
- Beggars Can Be Choosers
The Xinjiang Lamb Skewer cart in Flushing Chinatown (41st Ave, east of Main St) is the "Critics' Pick" for best cheap meat on a stick in the city: "Meatier, smokier, and spicier, this skewer dominates."
- Word of Mouth: Best Indonesian in the city [Eating Translation]
Upi Jaya (76-04 Woodside Ave, Elmhurst, 718-458-1807) was the crowd consensus, at last weekend's Indonesian food bazaar, for the best Indonesian food in Queens (or NYC, I'll add). If you've never been, it's a nice place, and accommodating to newcomers to the cuisine.
