Nowhere in the city has better food courts than Flushing, Queens. From the dingy, labyrinthine basement of the Golden Shopping Mall, with its anarchy of scents, to the vast gallery of stalls at the New World Mall, sleek and seemingly infinite, they are justly beloved as scenes of equal parts chaos and serendipity.

The newly renovated food hall at Queens Crossing, a mixed-use development completed in 2007, is smaller and quieter. The dining area was designed to evoke an abstract forest, with a chandelier of birches and grass panels on the walls, sprouting puns like “You make miso happy.”

The vendors — offering the likes of Hawaiian poke and Japanese curry — were chosen to present an alternative to the food already available in the neighborhood. Most will be familiar to anyone who has seen the food court boom in Manhattan.

But Ok Lah! is a surprise. (The name is a nod to the ubiquity of the syllable “lah” in Singapore and Malaysia, where it’s appended to sentences as a form of tonal modulation.)
