I grew up on egg rolls from Queens and they don't make 'em like they made 'em anymore.

A place like King Yum, which is still the oldest operating Chinese restaurant in Queens (1953). Thats where the best egg roll was.

Maybe its time for a long overdue visit to the old neighborhood.

Indeed King Yum stills exist and thrives from what I understand. It is really a great example of the Chinese-American restaurant that has survived from another era. I think it would be great fun to check out their food, not just their egg rolls.

I know they were recently running a Chinese New Year's menu - heard it advertised on the radio.

From what I understand Eddie, they still make the best wonton soup and egg foo young in Queens. But I haven't eaten there in a good 25 years. It would be nice to go back.
