"The last decade has seen many Chinese restaurant appear in the East Village, and this is one of the best. Like the others, it partly concentrates on noodles in individual servings, hence the name Slurp Shop. The noodles are known as mifen, and the chef-owner Chao Wang matches them with peppers and pork, pickled string beans, and roasted duck. Larger dishes, sans noodles, are even more interesting, including the “flaming frog,” winter melon with fermented black beans, and smoked pork belly stir fried with bean curd." - Robert Sietsema
