"Flushing doesn't need another restaurant to prove it's a food destination-but it just got one anyway. Nong Geng Ji, a Hunan cuisine group that built its name in China, will open its first New York City location in Queens on January 18, bringing unique countryside-rooted flavors to 37th Avenue. Founded in 2017, the brand has quickly expanded to more than 100 directly operated restaurants across China, Southeast Asia and Canada."
"If your idea of Hunan food stops at "very spicy," this place is here to widen the frame. There's plenty of heat on Nong Geng Ji's menu, but it's also layered with smokiness, tang and that elusive . The menu leans into classics that are meant to be eaten the way Hunan families do: piled over rice. Standouts include pepper pork stir-fry with a biting kick; tea-oil stir-fried free-range chicken; snowflake beef; and a surprisingly comforting signature staple: high-pressure-cooked sweet potato rice."
Nong Geng Ji opens its first U.S. location in Flushing, Queens on January 18, introducing countryside-rooted Hunan cooking. Founded in 2017, the brand operates over 100 directly run restaurants across China, Southeast Asia and Canada and brings the same regional menu without franchises or watered-down dishes. The menu balances heat with smokiness and tang, centering classics served piled over rice, including pepper pork stir-fry, tea-oil free-range chicken, snowflake beef and high-pressure-cooked sweet potato rice. Interiors draw from agrarian life and Hunan folk culture with Batik textiles, porcelain details and visible ingredient displays. Founder Guohua Feng, a Hunan native, emphasizes preserving the soul of regional wok cooking.
