Not only is Elmhurst Queens’ second Chinatown; it’s home to a thriving Southeast Asian community. Join Queens-based food writer Joe DiStefano for a guided tour of Indonesian, Vietnamese, and Thai markets and restaurants.

Itinerary

Sample Indonesian dishes like stewed jackfruit and crunchy keripik kentang kacang manis, Indonesia’s sweet spicy and savory take on potato chips, at Java Village. Tuck into a Vietnamese sandwich while sipping a salty lemonade. Browse a Thai market for ingredients like kaffir lime leaves, and curry pastes. Sample such Thai delicacies as goong chae nam pla, or raw shrimp marinated in fish sauce served atop bitter melon, and kluay khak—a delectable mixture of fried taro, sweet potato, and plantain.

Andrea Q.

Joe was an excellent guide through the fascinating neighborhood of Elmhurst. He introduced us to foods we never would have known to order and everything we ate was amazing. Joe had a really nice way of interacting with the restaurant staff who made us feel very welcome and who sometimes took time to teach us a little bit about their menu. This is a great tour for both people who have had exposure to Southeast Asian cuisines and those for those for whom the flavors are completely new.
