Description
The name means "beautiful and unique," and this south Flushing restaurant serves the cuisine of Shandong, more specifically that of Qingdao, a city directly across the Yellow Sea from Korea. You'll find Korean influences in the food, but also German ones that date from the days when the city was a German concession. Corn, cloud-ear mushrooms, and eggs form an important component of the menu, and so are unexpected items of seafood such as sea intestines, and strange meat-seafood combos. Dishes that we associate with Sichuan province, and generalized northern Chinese fare form another part, of which the dish called beef in hot oil is one of the most splendid. The menu has recently been revised, and now includes most of the specials that were on the walls before.
