Location: just across the aisle from Lanzhou, in the basement food court in the Golden Mall, 41-28 Main St at 41st Rd in Flushing [Note: there's another one - they've gone corporate! - in the Flushing Mall, which is distinctly newer and cleaner]
Edibles: cumin lamb burgers
Musings: This is the burger made famous by Tony Bourdain in his recent "Outer Boroughs" episode of No Reservations. (The shop has proudly laminated a blurry photocopy of a picture of the historic event.) Of course, we had to try it.
This burger didn't taste Chinese at all to me. All the ingredients - the lamb, cumin, peppers and onions - seemed more Middle-Eastern. Still, it was yummy and a steal at $2.50. It's a good reason to share the Lanzhou noodles and save some room. Speaking of noodles, the ones on the Xi'an menu looked pretty stellar too. Maybe next month. Stay tuned.
