Following the Times to Happy Beef Noodle Soup in Flushing

Well we went, five of us, on a sojourn to check this place out. And I have to the sad duty to report that we were served the WORST bowl of beef noodle soup I have ever had, and as a lifetime New Yorker, I have been seeking out and enjoying chinese noodle soups for at least 30 years.

But you didn't even have to be an expert to know you were being served something awful, maybe even unhealthy. Gamey beef, a thin dimensionless beef broth that offered no hint of anise whatsoever -- more like dishwater. My friend had the seafood combo noodle soup. The shrimps, still in their shells as they floated in the soup, were gluey and runny. Inedible. Faint fish odor coming from the soup. Very unpalatable. The only thing that was kinda good was the shredded pig ear. Crunchy and spicey with a light vinegary glaze.

I think the place is under new ownership. Looks recently remodeled. Red white and blue butning over the door.

DON'T EAT HERE. It could ruin noodle soup for you forever.
