Liang Pi King

Came here for a quick lunch. I got the Liang Pi (cold skin noodles) $ 5 and the Chinese pancake $ 4. The noodles were ok but don’t compare to Xians famous foods. The Chinese pancake was not good. First off it was difficult to eat — I wasn’t sure if I should eat it like a sandwich or carve it up with knife and fork. It falls apart. In addition, it wasn’t very flavorful and the iceberg lettuce and fried noodles didn’t enhance anything. Definitely a pass on the Chinese pancake — although it was entertaining watching them make it. On the positive side, the lady at the counter is nice and willing to take orders in English. There are definitely other choices at this food court.

This review is only for the jianbing! In case you’ve never heard of it, its okay, they’re pretty rare to come by, and as of now there are only four places I know of in flushing that serve these bad boys, which is a shame since from what I hear they’re pretty ubiquitous in northern china anyway onto the food!
A Chinese crêpe for lack of a better description the jiang bing is a crêpe mixed with eggs sprinkled with scallions and smeared with a combination of hoisin sauce and hot chilli oil filled with crispy fried crackers and hot dogs if you’re fancy. Although the combination sounds pretty uninspiring, the jiangbing is truly an under the radar food item that will one day blow up! mark my words lol
The jiangbing here was okay… a bit on the soggy side, skimpy with the fillings, too much lettuce and not enough scallion, the only thing that made up for all these negatives was the awesome sauce they used to kick up the flavor. Pretty average at best, definitely nothing that will leave you inspired though, try it for the sake of saying you’ve had it and move on folks!

Hidden in the New York Food Court is a particular food vendor that keeps bringing me back. What they serve is the namesake of this food stall, Liang pi. Cold, flavorful noodles topped with cucumbers, bean sprouts, and soy tofu. A nice refreshing complement to the warm weather for only 5 dollars. Although other restaurants like Xian famous foods dabble in serving the dish as well, this spot has the dish in their name so they deliver on what they know best.

4.5 Stars!
We love liang pi & after reading the reviews about this place, we decided to check it out. The food here is really good & great in value too! We got the liang pi (cold skin noodles), & some spicy chicken n’ potato dish that were so so so good.
Let’s start with the liang pi. It’s good but we wouldn’t say it’s the best. The pancake were delicious!
Now, for the spicy chicken n’ potato dish, we can’t remember the exact name of that amazingly delicious dish but it’s easy to order. Just point at the picture of a $ 12 chicken dish on the menu, that’s the one! If we remember it correctly, this is the most expensive dish on the menu. It’s a dish for two. It’s huge! It came with 2 rice. For $ 12, guarantee you’ll be full! It’s great in value & absolutely delicious! It has so much flavor.
All total we spent about $ 22. We couldn’t even finish our food because we were totally stuffed! The left over was so much, we could make another meal from it.
Amazing food & great value! Highly recommended!

The liang pi is the best I’ve had in NYC. The noodles are very thin, have great texture and the sauce is perfect… not too sour or spicy. Even tastier than Xian Foods.

Liang Pi Noodles is definitely one of my favorite noodle dishes overall. I just love the mixture of various sauces and vegetables. It seems like such a simple, easy dish by sight but it is really the balanced amount of sauce and texture of the noodles, that makes the difference. Liang Pi can be eaten as a cold noodles dish or stir-​fried dish, the two different ways of eating brings out different strengths of the dish. When eaten cold, I am just craving for the rawness and freshness of it. Stir-​fried version makes me love the soft, chewy noodles even more. I cannot even choose how I want it at times! I love Liang Pi mainly because after I finish the entire plate, it leaves me satisfy and not feeling guilty for eating like a piggy. I don’t know if this dish is consider healthy in any way at all but I love that it is such a light dish!
Okay! I am indeed biased, Xi’an Famous Foods holds first place as my favorite Liang Pi Noodles spot. Liang Pi is my personal must-​try at any noodles place that have it on the menu. New World Mall has a vendor that makes it, but they failed miserably. With New York Food Court opened, Liang Pi King was one of the vendors that opened here. Such a bold name, claiming themselves to be! This place actually comes closest in taste, especially the sauce. The sauce is a bit watery and a bit too much leftover when you’re done. Be careful and not slurp so hard, otherwise it will get on your shirt! The taste of the sauces is very well balanced and the greens that they put it is very fresh. Overall, I love the sauce combination. The noodles just lacked a bit of texture because it tasted airy and too light. I prefer it to have more texture so that I can munch on it.
Yup! I will be returning!
