"Little Pepper has been a Queens mainstay for almost two decades, first in downtown Flushing and later moving to College Point Boulevard. Head here for one of the finest, and spiciest, bowls of cold sesame noodles in the city, and mapo tofu, if you prefer a thinner sauce. No matter what you get, pair it with an order of their signature scallion rice. It’s cooked with so many scallions that the rice is bright green. Little Pepper looks like your everyday, casual Chinese restaurant, but they have so many loyal fans, they’ve started selling their own merch. " - neha talreja, hannah albertine, diana kuan
