Gao Qunsheng's Hu La Tang: Restaurant, Queens, NYC

This Flushing counter serves Northern Chinese street-style comfort food, with Hu La Tang spicy soup as the anchor. The traditional spicy and savory soup pairs with freshly made pan-fried buns, plus hearty porridge and soup noodles. Order and pay at the counter, then bring your ticket to the chefs. The kitchen stays organized even during busy times, and the vibe is cozy and spotlessly clean. Open until 2 AM.
