Where to Eat in Flushing’s Chinatown
"The calling card at this compact, no-frills noodle spot is its juicy, golf ball-sized wonton stuffed with buoyant shrimp inside a thin, slippery wrapper. You can order frozen bags to go, or better yet, add them as a topping to your noodle soup for dine-in. Maxi’s Noodle runs a streamlined operation where you choose up to three toppings to go with your solo broth, noodle soup or dry lo mein. The oblong dace fish balls are also a must-order topping, exuding a smoked meat — and not fishy — flavor. Over the years, the three-table spot has filled with so many families slurping together that owner Maxi Lau opened up a second counter spot about one-and-half miles south in Flushing." - Caroline Shin
