"Outside of starting a rumour that Johnny Cash wrote Walk The Line about resisting the urge for frenzied queuing, the most helpful thing we can do in the face of hype is to tell you that the best thing at Noodle Inn is the potstickers. They’re perfectly juicy on one side and on the other, there’s a crispy fried skirt that is borderline dumpling candy floss. The potstickers at Lao Dao—a glowing red, Grade II-listed, ex-sausage shop turned Xinjiang restaurant in Walworth—offer the same crispy prowess. Book a table, absorb the soft jazz in the background, and if noodles are still on your mind, order the pepper-forward da pan ji that comes with hand-pulled belt noodles." - heidi lauth beasley
