Happy New Year!

La Rotisserie Du Coin's Menu

I was told Forest Hills' new French restaurant, La Rotisserie Du Coin, at 107-10 71st Road, will be opening this weekend. Here's the menu, and a peek inside...

New French Restaurant Getting Ready to Open

I know many readers have been looking forward to the opening of the new French restaurant La Rotisserie Du Coin on 71st Road between Austin Street and Queens Blvd. I don't know when it will be opening, but it looks like any day now. Thanks to Meg for sending in this photo and pointing out that they recently installed the weather door on the outside. See my previous post for a peek inside this cute little new place.

RenWen Noodle Factory Mini-Review

I recently tried out the new RenWen Noodle Factory restaurant on Queens Blvd. near 71st/Continental Ave. and really enjoyed it. I think this new restaurant has figured out a good formula where it has built its menu around a variety of homemade noodles that are put to work in dishes that are innovative, but not intimidating. The menu, in other words, is not too exotic that it won't appeal to fans of traditional Chinese food dishes.

I tried a couple of their different Wonton soups and my main course was a noodle entree with chicken, all of which were excellent.

I also liked how RenWen designed its space. It is a big, inviting space with both tables and booths, all built around a glass-enclosed kitchen at the center.

All in all, I'd give RenWen a grade of an A. It is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. everyday and is located at 107-50 Queens Blvd. in Forest Hills. RenWen does not deliver yet, but I was told they may have delivery soon.
