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.
General Tso's chicken is a Chinese-American dish not commonly eaten in China; it was first produced in Taiwan by Hunanese chef Peng Chang-kuei to suit the tastes of an American admiral.
