Restaurant Review

Ice Fire Land (Flushing NY)

(718) 886-8600    135-11 40th Road,
Flushing, NY 11354

Ice Fire Land serves Taiwanese hot pot at its best, makes good appetizers, Mongolian grills, snack foods, finger foods, and divine desserts and beverages. Enjoy these and their terrific hot pots, all fifteen different ones, each with vegetables, noodles, and more. A few are beef, lamb, pork, vegetables, or any combination of these with or without seafood and fantastic fish paste. If the stomach would stretch, we would have them all at one sitting. Enjoy them with Mango Slush, one of their twenty-five tea and tapioca drinks suggestions. Yogurt drinks, Taiwanese Ice, a combo thereof, or several other beverage selections are in their delicious drink list.

Here in this Queens restaurant, hot pot comes with bean thread noodles, fish balls, and several vegetables, at a cost ranging from eleven to eighteen dollars, depending upon which one you choose. Cook additional items, from a list of fifty-two to supplement any of these, for a buck or two more each. Green Tea Fish Tofu was terrific, so was Crab and Crab Meat, Noodle Mushroom, and Tofu Skin. Many trips back means trying many more, and we can hardly wait to do so.

The Meat and Seasonal Seafood main choice is outstanding. We love that one and many other hot pots tasted to date. We season them from their red seasonings and sauce wagon. Do not miss doing that; and while there, take our advice using two plates, one for the spices and seasonings, the other for several of the super sauces. At our table, everyone agreed the meats and seafood were phenomenal.
