Grand Sichuan St. Mark’s (Chicken and Braised Pumpkin)

Aka the move…… Yes, I am officially on my brown rice grind. Grand Sichuan St Mark’s – 21 St Mark’s Place (Between 2nd and 3rd Avenues) NY, 10003, (212) 529 – 4805

Kuai An La Mian Hand Pulled Noodle (Hand Pulled Beef Noodle Soup)

I absolutely loved the hand pulled beef noodle soup at Kuai An La Mian soup. What was better than the soup though was that fucked up brown looking shin the plastic container in the bottom photograph. Yes it looks like you wouldn’t eat it on a hundred dollar dare, but that would be a major [...]

Super Taste (Hand Pulled Noodles With Beef In Soup)

I hit up Super Taste in Chinatown on a rainy day, and to be honest I was a little disappointed with the food after I missioned all the way down their from the Upper East Side. Maybe I fucked up by ordering the spicy beef hand pulled noodle soup ($4.50) and not going with something [...]

Jess Bakery (General Tso’s Chicken and Roast Duck Sandwich)

I’m so not into Chinese/American food. When I do get that craving, I don’t go to the spots in my hood with the pictures on the wall, I go to Jess Bakery in Gramercy. They have the lightest, least greasy General Tso’s chicken in the world and roasted duck club sandwiches. Sshhhhhhhh, I’m whispering a [...]

Simply The Best (Entree Dishes)

Okay, so I’m not talking about specific dishes at specific restaurants like “Balthazar’s” steaks or Sushi Seki’s ” eel, but instead dishes that I often find myself ordering if they’re on the menu. These are the items that I might request for my last meal if I was ever on death row and then I’m [...]

Lan Zhou (Dry Noodles With Minced Pork Sauce) (Max’s Pick)

(There are two Lan Zhou locations in Chinatown though I’m not sure if they’re related. I visited the location on East Broadway and Pike Street.) Let me start by saying that if you’re looking for ambiance or good service, stay far the fuck away from here. While no one was rude to me, the servers [...]

Wong’s (Indian Mee Goreng)

I haven’t been a fan of Wong’s since they opened up almost ten years ago. Their soup broth has absolutely no flavor and I hate Chinese restaurants that have pictures on the wall (that never wind up looking like what you ordered), make french fries, have ketchup available, uses frozen vegetables etc. Additionally, their credit [...]

China Fun (Steamed Pork Bun & Kung Pao Chicken)

I used to think that China Fun was the best option for Chinese food in the East 60th’s but with Szechuan Chalet having recently opened on 72nd and 2nd and  my joyful discovery of Grand Sichuan Eastern on 55th and 2nd the tides have turned. I’d rather get delivery from either of those places but [...]

Hong Kong Station (Make Your Own Noodle Soup)

I’m not really sure what to make of Hong Kong Station, the do itself your noodle soup chain that’s starting to invade Chinatown. The premise is simple, pick the noodle size you want (all$1.50) which will go into what I considered to be a generic chicken broth and then pick add on’s (all $2 or [...]

New Chao Chow (Chicken Curry Soup & Beef Stew Noodle Soup)

You know how every once in a while you eat at a restaurant and you’re so happy with what you ordered that you want to come back and eat through the menu? That’s how I felt about New Chao Chow the first time I was there. New Chao Chow  is one of few restaurants in [...]
