"Named after Shorty Tang, the Taiwanese chef who introduced Sichuan food to Chinatown in the ‘60s, Tangy Noodle is a Chelsea storefront that sells some of his specialties and some newer concoctions, too. His cold sesame noodles, a simple dish with a mellow sauce supposedly invented or at least adapted by him, is still the thing to get, but then the homemade wontons in chile sauce and spicy beef noodle soup are also well worth contemplating." - Robert Sietsema
