"Soup: Tan Tan Noodles This always-packed Chinatown noodle house offers regional Chinese specialties galore. On days when you really want to stay under the covers, it’s tan tan noodles all the way. The broth is nutty and rich. There’s an overabundance of wheat noodles. And the soup leaves a tingly, numbing sensation in your mouth that somehow doesn’t overpower.
