The list includes 17 restaurants located in Queens, spanning several neighborhoods including Long Island City, Astoria, Forest Hills, and Flushing.

Bellwether and Mu Ramen located in Long Island City received the Bib Gourmand designation once more.

Five Flushing restaurants also returned to the list—Tong Sam Gyup Goo Yi, Alley 41, Hunan Cafe, Hahm Ji Bach and Dumpling Galaxy, which is widely popular for it’s extensive selection of flavorful dumplings.

In the Astoria neighborhood, Mar’s and Gregory’s 26 Corner Taverna are on the list once more. Turkish bistro Lokanta, an Astoria establishment that serves home-style Turkish cuisine, was added to the list for the first time.

In Forest Hills, Memories of Shanghai and Spy C Cuisine, both found on Austin Street, were on the list.

The Bib Gourmand awards are given out each year, and are handed to quality restaurants where diners can enjoy two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less.

The list is determined by anonymous Michelin inspectors who visit the restaurants in the course of applying their famous star rating system.

The Michelin price qualifier is absurd and ten years out of date. But Bellwether has very good food.
