    No wait and decided to give it a try after seeing this place on Instagram. Order the wonton and beef tendon with noodle soup and wonton and fish ball with soup. The wonton is huge, 95% is shrimp and 5% pork. The fish ball added too much pepper, it lost the fish taste. The beef tendon is soft that melts your mouth but too much five-spice powder which ruined the soup base which made the soup base stronger and saltier. Usually, other restaurant will give you 2-3 pieces of veggies but this place, you have to add $3. If you use credit card, there will be additional 3% fee.

    When we saw that there's no line for Maxi's Noodle on this warm Sunday afternoon, we quickly snagged a table for our family. Inside was still packed; only one table for the four of us. As soon as I saw down, I was drawn by the "menu" on the wall with images and prices for the items. We quickly decided that we want to sample various popular items, although it still took a while to determine the combinations. We ended up ordering wonton noodle with beef stew, triple combo soup with wonton, dumpling, and dace fish ball, and a dace fish ball with fried fish skin lo mein. Growing up, wonton noodle soup is one of the top Cantonese comfort foods. The juxtaposition between the pillowy wrapper and the plump juicy interiors of shrimp and pork is simply comforting. The execution here at Maxi? Exemplary! The wrappers were pillowy and almost translucent. A bite into them reveals a copious amount of shrimp and pork filling. Then, you get that flavorful soup with each bite of the wonton, just pure bliss. The dumplings here are also a lot more plump with fillings than those at dumpling houses that are found in Chinatown. These dumplings definitely refuse to let the wontons have all the spotlight. The rest of the items were just as delicious. The dace fish balls here were far superior compared to those found in freezer aisles. The texture is nicely balanced and not too chewy. The beef stew was tender and full of flavor. The fish skin was light and crispy. Although the restaurant is on the cozy side, the friendly and attentive service made the place more welcoming. If there's no line outside, grab yourself a seat and treat yourself to some top notch Cantonese comfort food here.

    Lunch in Chinatown, Manhattan, NYC on a Friday while in the locality for business purposes relating to my Sisyphean task summons noodle soup. This noodle shop has been on Yelp bookmark "to try" for sometime because noodle soup is Chinese comfort food and always a staple in Chinese homes. Maxi's Noodle 3 is known for their gargantuan wonton dumplings and Hong Kong style cuisine. Customers can choose the noodle type duck egg noodle, flat rice noodle, Vermicelli, or Udon. Customers then select one, two or three protein(s): shrimp and pork wonton; shrimp, pork, vegetable dumpling, Dace fish ball, Ja-Jiang pork strips in sweet sauce and mushrooms, fried fish skin, beef stew, or beef tendon. This is a simple small cafe with very poor lighting which strained my eyes. My photos of my dinning experience appeared very yellow background from the dated incandescent lighting. This business lighting does not contain modern LED lighting. I did obtain my sales receipt for keepsake. Business cards are available for grabs and it is very unique shape of a Asian girl listing their Flushing, Queens, NYC locations. Takeout menu are also available for grabs. Customer service is average and the staff is fluent in both English and Cantonese. It is still very good to hear Cantonese spoken as it is mellifluous... at long last to continue this vernacular of Chinese language. I ordered in a mixture of both English and Cantonese. I was seated by the hostess promptly for a table. The staff is accommodating with patience and tolerance, I dine alone as usual, but was talking on my phone with a friend. Price is reasonable. Udon noodle wonton soup, $13.25 I chose one protein topping of shrimp and pork wonton. There are four (4) gargantuan dumplings. The Udon noodles were sufficient quantity, but I always hope and desire for more. It was served in a plastic disposable container bowl. The wonton and noodles were delicious. Four stars, the broth was very mediocre for being bland. It did not contain any flavor for noodle soup. There were no scallions or any vegetables. It was served in a plastic disposable bowl with plastic disposable spoon and wooden disposable chopsticks as utensils. Disposable utensils are seemingly cheap and depict poor standards for a small dine-in cafe experience with wait staff. Jasmine lime green tea, cold $4.60 This tea was good quality. The lime was not overpowering strong, but subtle taste. I actually tasted green tea which I preferred. It was served chilled, but no ice. I am a native New Yorker and prefer ice in drinks who mirror a broader American obsession with icy beverages especially during the stifling hot humid summer months. There are several large fresh lime embedded in this drink. Amid, Maxi's Noodle 3 is not a bubble tea business thus, I lowered my expectations. Nota Bene: Credit/debit card payment is additional 3% charge. The menu (both dine-in and takeout) lists separate prices for cash and "CC" for credit card. No comment for Apple Pay or Google Wallet (formerly Android Pay/Google Pay) either acceptance or price differential vs. cash. I paid my bill in cash including gratuity. At the bottom of the sales receipt there is a suggested gratuity in intervals of 15%, 18% and 20% where customers do not have to perform math calculation.

    First I want to acknowledge how friendly the service was at Maxi's on Mott. It was as if I was walking into a fine dining experience, everyone was focused on making sure all of the diners were enjoying their dinner. I had the wonton, dumpling, and stewed beef noodle soup and added gai lan (Chinese broccoli) for health. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and both the pork and shrimp wontons and dumplings were incredibly flavorful. I would say that the broth could use a little more depth but not enough to impact the rating.

    Heard about this noodle shop in Flushing but didn't realized they have a branch in NY chinatown. When i pass by into one i did Not hesitate to come in! Came after lunch time on a weekday & lucky to have a table right away. My order came fast, piping hot & oh so delicious. Taste different from the noodles i use to order but still good. I would definitely come back to try other combination of toppings. I took Out one star, because although my server was nice & efficient, there was one lady who was loud. She took her break in one of the table while i was there & was carrying on full conversation with her co workers like its her living room. Kind of distracting when you are trying to savor your soup in peace. Would still come back though, ill just bring earplugs next time

    Maxi's apparently has the best wontons in town, and the long lines seem to validate that. I've been wanting to try it for a while, but the weekend lines are always ridiculous. My wife and I finally went on a Monday and, surprisingly, there was no line. I got the beef tendon with wontons and my wife got the beef stew with wontons. I also ordered a side of imitation shark fin soup. The shark fin soup was exactly what you'd expect, with a nice touch of sesame oil. But the real star is the wontons. They are very bouncy, packed with shrimp, and I can see why people are such big fans. Was the bowl of noodles earth shattering? No, but it was simple in a good way and everything was done well. The beef tendon was tender too. It is probably one of the pricier bowls of noodles in Chinatown, but I think it was worth it. The other unspoken star is the chili oil, which is fantastic. I liked it enough to buy a jar to take home. I'd definitely come back, but only if I don't have to wait in a long line.

    The best comfort food and so yummy and good! After hearing all about the rave on Maxi's noodle, I had to check this place out. I got the one topping egg noodle soup that had the egg noodles and wontons inside. The wontons were big and filled with shrimp which I love. The soup noodle itself tasted perfect - not overly heavy and just right in terms of flavor. Also got the curry fish ball which is always yummy. It does get busy but things move fast and you can get a seat without waiting too long. Service is also good and they bring you your food pretty quickly.

    The wontons here are some of the best I've tasted in NYC. They are so plump and juicy and packed with fresh and flavorful shrimp. I like to have the duck egg noodles with the noodle soup, but my friend got the flat rice noodles. The broth is heartwarming and hot and the food comes out very fast. I really enjoyed their chewy and tender beef tendon in my noodles as well. The Curry Fish Balls are also bouncy and fresh and not too spicy. Service was excellent. The waiters recommended we get vegetables on the side, but we decided not to. They refilled our water often and also brought extra chili oil to our table. There's one bathroom inside. If you pay with cash, it's cheaper.

    Pretty good wonton noodles soup. No wait or line on a Monday night. Food came out in about 2 minutes. Very quick with it once you order. 3% surcharge if you pay with credit card or debit card. Pay with cash

    After hearing raving reviews of the wontons from this spot, I had to check it out when I was in Chinatown. Maxi's Noodle has three locations, with this spot being their first Manhattan location. They have plenty of seating inside, but limit dining time to 30 minutes during rush hours. Service is quick. We ordered their 2 item soup, both with dumplings and wontons. The size of their dumplings and wontons were absolutely huge. They were filled with shrimp, pork, and other fillings. Out of the two, I actually preferred the dumplings. Super comforting meal for a cold day.

    Okay, so H calls this place Flushing Wontons, and H was the one that said they opened one in Manhattan. I mentioned I couldn't find a place with that name, and H finally sent a map location and it's called Maxi's. H really likes this place, but I wasn't sure if I trusted H's tastes since H prefers the lesser known Sydney based laksa over the more widely known one that I thought was the best. I checked out their menu and I was seeing the articles mentioning their wontons outside their store front and I wasn't convinced. I never had HK style wontons where I actually enjoyed eating them and I don't particularly enjoy the HK style egg noodles that usually pairs with them. I went in and I was trying to talk myself out of trying this place, since I said, if this place has a wait, I am leaving. But nope, I got seated right away and they said their known for their wontons and duck egg noodles. Can I tell you this place has totally changed my perspectives on HK style wonton noodles. It is seriously the best one I ever tasted and the broth was so good. Filling and noodles didn't have a weird after taste like most places I tried HK style from. I saw they sell the wontons frozen along with their chili sauce, and I even saw they sell their red vinegar. I have never seen any place selling red vinegar. I would think it is their homemade one, but didn't know that's a thing where restaurants make their own red vinegar. The only downside is the one-time use plastic. I don't like them and especially using them in overly hot liquids! Also, the place is narrow and so yeah, you can't bring a large crew here. The lady I had, she was super duper nice and amazing. But damn this place got me craving HK style now.

    Heard this place was one of the top places for noodles and although super simple, it was very tasty! The place is your typical NY style feel with lots of places to sit in a smaller area, but the service helped with turnover and how quickly we were able to eat and continue checking out Chinatown. The dumpling noodle soup was excellent. It reminded me exactly of a dumpling soup I had in Hong Kong. The noodles were delicious and the broth was flavorful. The dumplings were HUGE and juicy and full of meat. Definitely worth a try!

    Went to Maxi's noodles in the late afternoon in the middle of the week when it wasn't too crowded and was seated right away. Had the Wonton, Dumplings and Beef Stew Noodle Soup. Excellent Wontons - big and great filling with a lot of shrimp. Dumplings were also good, Beef Stew a little dry but not bad. Solid meal in a no-nonsense friendly environment.

Our favorites of the night were the salt and pepper chicken with scallion biscuits (jam was amazing, and the chicken was moist and fried perfectly), the walnut shrimp (super juicy and well-cooked, not too over-sauced), the pot stickers, and the cold sesame noodles which had great chew and a lovely, creamy sauce. The crudo was pretty small and nothing to write home about, and the eggplant and tofu curry were a bit under-seasoned for me. The bowls of rice we got to eat with the side dishes were also pretty mushy, as if the rice hadn't been properly rinsed before it was cooked, which was disappointing at $3 a bowl. Room for improvement! Still definitely a spot I'll recommend to friends looking for interesting takes on Chinese food! Service was attentive and smooth throughout the night, and we got some good suggestions on serving sizes for the group. Left stuffed and satisfied!

    Had a solid experience on Christmas (minus horrendous service, but what do you expect on a Chinese…read morerestaurant's busiest day), but a terrible one ordering in delivery. I ordered in some rice rolls and the soy sauce chicken with rice dish. The rice rolls were minuscule and the shrimp ones not fully deveined. The real problem was the soy sauce chicken. This was the most flavorless dish I've ever ordered from a Chinese spot. Dry as can be and no sauce could save it. Might return, but only for dim sum.

Friend of mine is a little more familiar with the cuisine so I entrusted our order to her and we got the following: Crystal shrimp dumpling (5/5): now this is saying something because I'm not the biggest fan of shrimp, but these dumplings were so juicy and savory, without having the heaviness or doughiness of other dumplings Pan fried turnip cake with pork (3.5/5): personally not my cup of tea, but my friend loves turnip cake and I was down to give it a try. It's also very savory/umami-y, goes well with the dipping sauces, and I'd say the texture is on the thicker side - I'm not quite sure how to describe the taste, but overall an interesting experience. Chicken chow-fun (4.5/5): I love this wide (rice?) noodle that they use, reminds me of pad see ew with the hints of soy but with chicken. It also had bean sprouts (or mung beans? one of the two), green onions (or scallions? gah I get so confused), and onions. I'm a glutton for vegetables, so I wish it had more variety of veggies but nonetheless still really enjoyed this dish and would definitely get it again! They were honestly quite busy on a weekday afternoon, but service was super sweet and loved the overall vibes inside, would love to come again!
