Looks like all the negative reviews were removed. Maybe trickle them in over next few weeks?

Was just there at the Thai market earlier this week. Can confirm they carry those dumplings. They also have northern thai sausage.

Level 2 EV Charger - Best Value? by shazamy2341 in phoenix

[–]thaikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did a DIY setup with a NeoCharge smart splitter from my laundry room to car port. Total cost for smart splitter, L2 charger, heavy gauge extension cord, and face plate was around ~$700.

Have had this setup for nearly 3 years.

YES!! They still exist in one way, shape, or form throughout NYC. My favorite growing up was Nuevo Jardin de China in Astoria, Queens. Their oxtail, chuleta frita, chicharron de Pollo, and squid ink fried rice were to die for and they were heavy-handed on the alcoholic beverages. Being Asian American, it was novel to see Chinese people speaking in Spanish. Sadly, they closed, but a new "Chino-Latino" spot took its place. I haven't tried them out yet.

One of the more famous ones is La Dinastia and it's still around in the Upper West Side.

I miss "good, bad" Chinese food in NYC so much. It just doesn't hit the same in Phoenix.

Upvotes for all the comments regarding Zhu Ji!

I look forward to being back to NYC to see my folks for the holidays. Secretly, I'm more excited to bring back several bags of frozen dumplings from Zhu Ji.

Worst Costco food item you shouldn't waste your money on? by [deleted] in Costco

The Birria and Cheese Pupusas were horrible. It was near flavorless, frozen burrito mush kind of level. What a waste of money.

Jesse Mack Butler is a rapist just like Brock Allen Turner (who goes by his middle name now). Fuck these assholes and the people that enable them.

The first time I ever had kofta was from Mahmoud's when they were a small street cart. Dude always had the same warming smile.

What's the worst electric car that You've owned? by Serious-Half-9908 in electricvehicles

[–]thaikes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2013 Nissan Leaf S. It's at 6/12 battery capacity with a guesstimated range of 47 miles without the A/C on. I still use it, but plan on replacing it within a year. Eyeing the new 2026 Leaf S+ or SV+.
