Stewed-pork hand-ripped noodles, lamb burgers, dumplings
"Hands down the best noodles we have ever had. Seriously. These hand made flat noodles are the perfect chewiness. Made to order every time. Each dish is amazing in its own way with spice hot enough to knock your socks off. If you aren't into noodles don't miss their dumplings or the lamb/pork burger. Not exactly a burger but the flavors are unreal. Although this may not be unique to Greenpoint, it is one of our favorite spots." - Milkshake

"For St. Patrick’s Day they dropped a Xi’an corned beef sandwich that stuffs braised, salt-cured, spice-laden beef into a griddled yeasted puck with optional chile crisp (highly recommended); the chopped, shredded meat carries hints of five spice and coriander and the beef’s drippings soften the dense bun — ask for cilantro and enjoy a surprisingly satisfying $6.75 portable meal." - Eater Staff
