The Critics Ate Pasta, M’Anoush, and Noodles - Eater Boston
"Marc Hurwitz visits Chili Square in Quincy for his latest in the Dig and finds some dishes that are “not for the faint of heart.” The restaurant serves Chinese dishes, and some, like the spicy duck heads and pig’s ears in chili oil, may be a little intimidating to those more used to Chinese-American cuisine. “There are definitely a number of options here for the less daring, however,” Hurwitz writes, including the biang biang noodles, which are hand-pulled, wide, and flat at Chili Square, served in soup or alone, with accompanying meats or non-meat options. The spicy oil in the dish has a kick that will “sneak up on you as you continue to eat it.” Other offerings include a Lanzhou beef noodle soup and a Wuhan hot dry noodle dish that also packs a punch thanks to sesame paste and chili oil. Another highlight is the crispy Korean chicken wings, Hurwitz writes, along with scallion pancakes. The restaurant is cash-only." - Dana Hatic
