"Yes, it’s oppressively hot out, but we’re always in the mood for wonton soup. And in New York, no one is doing it quite like Maxi’s, which recently opened its first Manhattan outpost." - Eater Staff
"The Manhattan outpost is known for its standout shrimp wontons: generously plump, multi-bite parcels with silky, thin wrappers that showcase large chunks of shrimp whose meaty texture plays nicely against bouncy, chewy duck egg noodles. On the visit described the writer had a noodle soup with wontons, dumplings, and dace fish balls, but the large shrimp wontons were the highlight — so much so they plan to order only those next time and buy a bag of the frozen ones to take home." - Melissa McCart
"If wonton soup is more your game, Maxi’s Noodle is only a few storefronts down from 1915. The pork bone and shrimp-based broth is packed with big and bouncy wontons, and even though this place gets crowded during peak hours, people eat quickly. We usually stock up on bags of frozen wontons on our way home. Maxi’s Noodle has two other locations in Flushing." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"A rainy, cold day made for perfect noodle-soup conditions. "The service was very sweet — a staffer guided me through my options, so I went with the two-topping noodle soup ($12.10) with thin yellow springy duck egg noodles and wontons, and a side of the fried fish skins, plus the curry fish balls ($6.69)." "The noodle soup was soothing; the wontons bouncy; the fish skins were so nicely crunchy and became chewy when soaked in the broth; and the fish balls were so bouncy. Add in the chile oil — you won’t regret it — and maybe also dump in some of the fish ball curry sauce into the soup — it’s fantastic." There was free tea and a funny bathroom with no mirror but a sign reading "you look fine" written on the wall. — Nadia Chaudhury, editor, Northeast." - Eater Staff
