A Flushing cheap-eats guide calls Pang Dong Lai (Stall #22) a 'must-try hidden gem' for Sichuan food, highlighting dishes like crab claypot and salt-and-pepper calamari.
The same guide describes New World Mall's overall crowd pattern rather than a stall-specific line, noting 'Saturday at 1 p.m. is bedlam. Tuesday at 2 p.m. is paradise' — a stark weekend-versus-weekday swing that applies to the whole food court, including this stall.
