So this place gets 5 stars, imo. The dry beef noodles even come with egg! Not greasy or too sauced. Just right.
Sietsema: Peanut Sauce Noodles - Thick egg noodles swim in a sauce of peanut butter and soy, surmounted by chopped and oiled scallions - it's like the best peanut butter sandwich you've ever had Read more.
Order the huge plate of thick peanut butter noddles that will stick to your taste buds after every bite!
The boiled dumplings are great, but the rice balls with beef ($3) are the real star here. Deliciously soft and sticky, they may remind you of mochi... until you get a bite of that marinated beef. Read more.
Best Fuzhou fishballs I've found in the city. Broth is yum, but a little light. Super cheap. Friendly staff. Ignore the fact that it looks condemned =)
the baked buns are awesome, their lo mein is serious and their duck is crazy. love this spot.
At a whopping 80 cents, the roast pork bun is just about the best lunch loose pocket change can buy. For a sweeter fix, go for the pumpkin or salted egg yolk bun.
Cheap and tastes good! The fried chicken leg over rice with a tea egg is my favorite. Ask for extra sauce!
Soup dumplings of any variety! Also watercress and smoking mushrooms #114 delectable!
Best fresh rice crepes in the city. Make sure you get here before 3pm. They shut the crepe machine down after 3.
Try the candylike Ba Si. Deep-fried taro, sweet potato and apple form the starchy base of this funky, interactive Northern Chinese dessert. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Muslim lamb chops, dried tofu w/ pepper, carrot lamb dumplings, all musts. + sour cabbage w/ beef casserole, country-style green bean sheet jelly, country-style cucumbers. less impressed w/ seafood.
Order the clams in spicy broth, fried spareribs, pepper scallops. So good!
Amazing rice rolls! They have a veg option too. 1.25 for a big portion you can't beat. No one spoke English & I had to jump up and down to get someone to take my order. Try the sauces. Worth the trip.
Great ramen and the chashu appetizer is wonderful. May seem pricier but the portions are on point. You can customize richness and noodles for your ramen. Can't take anything home tho!
Since they bring in the best chefs every month, the ramen sold here are always amazingly good. I can't eat from other ramen places anymore... I miss here so much.
Morgenstern's got bonkers creations (Fernet black walnut, American egg, or banana curry) and total dedication to the craft of ice cream making in a throwback ice cream parlor setting. Read more.
Salt + pepper pinenut with their "bitter" (caramel) chocolate was fantastic. The ice creams are the perfect mix of creative and well executed. Pro tip: empty 6-8pm on weekdays.
