In NYC's Flushing there are a multitude of Chinese restaurants. New East Cuisine Manor is located at 37-02 Main Street on the 2nd floor. The front room is a regular restaurant and the back room is reserved for weddings and on off nights - karaoke and dancing for not so hip middle age folks.
The have a very reasonable "special" menu where all dishes are $4.40-$8.00, but you have to either speak or read Mandarin. Otherwise you are out of luck and have to order of the regular English menu.
We ordered 3 dishes from the special menu: maopo tofu (spicy diced tofu with minced pork) $4.40, chicken and string beans $4.40 and sliced pork and yam $6.00.
And 2 dishes from the regular menu: pan fried flounder $19.95 and sauteed snow peas leaves $16.95.
Complimentary dessert was sliced orange and a sweet bean soup.
All of the food was good, but service was lackadasical. Also, beware - they automatically include a 15% gratituity with the sales tax. If you don't look carefully at the bill you might not notice this and tip them twice.
