📍 GOLDEN MALL 黄金商场

GOLDEN MALL 黄金商场 FOOD CRAWL:
If you're a foodie like me, always on the hunt for exciting eats, Golden Mall NYC in Flushing, Queens, is a treasure trove of delicious bites and diverse culinary experiences. Nestled in a vibrant part of the city, this food court is packed with vendors offering everything from savory snacks to sweet treats. The best part? You never know where to start—each corner you turn leads to a new, mouth-watering adventure! I was so happy to be invited to explore and experience a new world of cultures!

Stop 1: Ginza Don NYC – Japanese BBQ Goodness

Our first stop on this food crawl was Ginzadon, a Japanese-style BBQ spot that serves up some of the crispiest and most flavorful dishes I’ve had in a while. We kicked things off with their Prawn Tempura—crispy, golden bites of heaven! But the real showstopper? The Beef Donburi (a Japanese rice bowl topped with thinly sliced, grilled beef). The meat was cut to perfection—thin, tender, and packed with smoky goodness from the grill. Watching the chef expertly grill the beef in front of us made the experience that much more special. Every bite was a celebration of flavor, earning a solid 10/10 in my book! (Also comes with a side miso soup and seaweed salad, what more could one want?!)

Stop 2: Vivi Bubble Tea – Sweet, Retro Vibes

After savoring all that deliciousness, I craved something sweet, refreshing, and a little cute to match the mood, and me!

Enter Vivi Bubble Tea in Flushing! The moment I stepped inside, I was hit with retro vibes, complete with colorful decor that begged for a quick photo op. I spent a solid 20 minutes just chatting and soaking in the atmosphere. My new besties behind the counter? Absolute gems. They recommended their new signature orange-flavored drink, and let me tell you—it was like sipping on a refreshing, elevated version of Sunkist, made with fresh oranges and chewy tapioca pearls. So cold, so quenching, and so perfect!

And just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, I spotted the Strawberry Yakult drink on the menu. Imagine those old-school strawberries and cream candies you loved as a kid but in drink form—pure heaven! This might just be one of the best bubble tea drinks I’ve ever had, hands down.

Fun fact: Golden Mall is one of Flushings oldest food courts on Main Street.

Stop 3: Good Coconut – A Flavor Explosion!

At Good Coconut, I was treated to something that was more than just a snack—it was an experience. The coconut shaving technique they use is so precise, I was in awe! Watching them expertly handle the coconut made me feel like I was witnessing a surgeon at work—seriously impressive stuff. For $12.99, the shaved coconut snowball was packed with incredible, refreshing flavor, and the $7.58 Mango Coconut Milk drink? Absolutely delicious! There’s a reason this is their best seller—the balance of flavors was out of this world! It's moments like these that remind me how fortunate I am to experience different cultures, culinary techniques, and craftsmanship all in one place. Truly a one-of-a-kind stop!

Stop 4: Original Cake – Sweet Treats Worth the Hype

For our final stop, we ventured to Original Cake, a vendor specializing in Taiwanese Castella cakes. If you’ve never had Castella cake before, you’re in for a real treat. Soft, airy, and just the right amount of sweetness, these cakes were the perfect way to end the food crawl. But wait—there’s more! Original Cake also serves up delectable egg tarts, taro brulee, (with the most beautiful purple inside, ever), and a range of other baked goods that are just as exciting to watch being made as they are to eat. The craftsmanship on display here is remarkable, and you can’t beat the prices!

Golden Mall’s unique blend of culinary experiences makes it a must-visit spot, it’s a food lover's paradise. From savory BBQ to refreshing bubble tea, to coconut shaving mastery to indulgent Taiwanese cakes, every stop is packed with flavor, culture, and memories that will last a lifetime.

If you’re in Flushing, this is a food court that absolutely deserves to be rediscovered.

If you’re ever in the area, make sure to stop by these gems—you won’t regret it!
