The portions are very generous too, considering the low price of $11 for a large Spicy Lamb Noodle Soup, which had plenty of meat and toppings. The broth is properly milky white as it should be, and the mala packs a punch so be prepared for some heat if you order the spicy version. Ordering might be confusing and I ended up walking to the counter, ordering, then later picking up my order, so maybe don't expect to be waited. Though you can dine in, spacing is limited, tables might be slightly dirty and there is no water, so treat it like a very casual hole-in-the-wall.

Came at 1:30 on a Saturday and the restaurant had many people eating but not a ton waiting to…read moreorder. I walked in and someone immediately said welcome to me as I came up to the counter and handed me the English menu. Luckily I had perused it online and discussed items with my mandarin speaking friends. I ordered the popular lamb burger, and the lamb haslet noodle soup (the organs of lamb). The person taking my order spoke English well enough, confirmed my order, told me the price, and I paid immediately. Due to language, I opted to just stand by the front to wait for my food. In that time the tables filled up so I did end up sharing one of the larger tables with several other people. My food came out quite quickly, and I sat down to eat. The noodles (which I watched being freshly pulled) were a great texture, meet was great though there wasn't a lot of it in the soup, and the broth was good! I added chili oil and msg and vinegar to it which was really great in bringing out every flavor. I also really enjoyed the lamb burger, which needed no modifications. I did end up taking that with me to to due to how filling the soup was. Both together were $17 for easily 2-3 meals person dependent. The people working were quite nice, someone even asked me how I liked it as I was bussing my table. The spot itself is quite casual, a lot of great options, huge serving sizes, and people seeming to really take their time there. Definitely a good stop to try in the area!

Walked in around 6pm on a weekday. Restaurant has maybe 8 tables but got seated immediately…read more Menus is pretty straight forward with various noodles, wontons and various additions Soup was sumptuous, wontons were big and beef chunks were tender.

This is Hong Kong style done right, and in Flushing you're getting the real thing at prices that genuinely rival what you'd pay in China. We lucked into a nice day and grabbed a seat outside. Service was fast and furious, which is exactly what you should expect and honestly want from a spot like this. You're not here for a leisurely dining experience, you're here to eat something delicious and get on with your day. My one gripe, and it applies to the whole surrounding area and not just Maxi's: there are basically no bathrooms to be found. Plan accordingly before you commit to a big bowl of soup. Cheap, tasty, authentic. Everything a Flushing noodle spot should be.

I really love this place--curry, curry, and more curry. The beef brisket curry and homemade tofu…read morecurry are easily our go-to favorites. That said, their noodle soups are also excellent. The portions are generous, and they seem to give a bit more noodles than most places, which I definitely appreciate. My wife is a big fan of their black sesame soup and Hong Kong-style coffee as well. I've tried a few other dishes, and everything has been great--but it's honestly hard to branch out when your go-tos are this good.

Came here for dinner and got the Hong Kong style lo mein, braised beef and tendon lo mein…read more It comes with a side soup to wet the dry noodles if you need to wet the noodles.

Following on the success of her restaurant in downtown Flushing, Maxi opened a second location on…read moreMain St. This location is more conveniently located if you are driving, being just a block north of the LIE. There is parking to be found in the surrounding residential neighborhood or the meters along Main St, but you might have to compete for spaces with patrons of other restaurants on this strip. As you enter, the big neon sign on the back wall names Maxi as 雲吞妹, Wonton Sister. I wish she were my sister making those delicious wontons! The golf-ball sized wontons are the star of the show! They are stuffed with shrimp in a delicate noodle wrapper floating in a tasty broth. The Chinese beef stew makes a great compliment to a bowl of steamy noodles with tender slices of beef flank and beef tendons (my favorite part). Noodle dishes can also be ordered Hong Kong style on a plate with broth on the side. We also get a dish of boiled vegetables with oyster sauce to round out our meal (usually baby Chinese Broccoli or choy sum). The menu has expanded since the last time we were here with new side dishes like curry fish balls and braised shiitake mushrooms that you can get over noodles or a la carte. There are even bubble teas now! If you like, you can even get a box of fried fish skin to go. Just remember that you have to bus your own table.

I ordered fried wontons (6 per…read moreorder), beef stew, beef stew (tendons only), 3 toppings lo mein, curry fish balls, 3 toppings in soup & shark fin soup with dace (chunks of fish). Everything was absolutely amazingly fresh and Yummylicious! The wontons are so huge, I have eat it in 2 bites. The best part is there's a jumbo shrimp in each wonton. The dumplings are so addicting too. Especially since I don't like the hard skin but they use a thin wrapping for their dumplings (like their wontons) which I love. For the lo mein, I loved the option to add beef stew sauce to the noodle. The extra charge is so worth it! Maxi's Noodle 2 definitely deserves my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval! Two thumbs up! Maxi's Noodle 2 is now my go-to spot for wontons, dumplings, beef stew, shark fin soup, dace, etc.

We started with two appetizers, the calamari and dumplings, which were both delicious. My cousins ordered Pho, while I had the curry chicken, and everything was served promptly and tasted excellent. The menu isn't very extensive, but their signature dishes are well done. There are only a few tables available, and street meter parking is located outside. Take out was bustling. The owner provided outstanding customer servicr, attentive, welcoming, and happy to offer recommendations. Plug also for shared dessert we had, black tea and Vietnamese coffee. All good. Will go again We enjoyed our meal so much that we ordered extra food to take home for our families. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend checking this place out.

Possibly my new pho place…read more You're not coming here for a "vibe." It's a small place with around six tables and three staff members (two in the kitchen and one taking orders, serving, bussing, and cleaning). Not the most glamorous vision of a restaurant, right? But the food is tasty! We had the summer rolls, peppered calamari, the signature pho, and the beef short-rib pho. The summer rolls and calamari were good, you could taste the freshness of the veggies and shrimp. I wish the calamari had been a bit crispier and seasoned with a touch more salt and pepper, but it was still very good. The real reason I'll be coming back is the pho broth. Some people might describe it as slightly sweet, but to me, it had a rich, balanced flavor. I'm not sure if the short rib is available all the time (it does have a lot of fat, as beef short rib often does), but it was flavorful. Definitely coming back to try more.

Tldr: the seafood pancake is a must try…read more This place was a small Korean restaurant with barely any seating. I had to wait for over 25 minutes with a group of 6 on a weekday morning but it was well worth it. After you get seated You get served some sides like most Korean places do. It was kimchi and what seemed like a crispy item. pickled radish?apple?chayote? maybe one of those three. You also get served a grain tea which is one of my favorite types of tea. It was tasty but very mild/light in flavor I came here mainly for the seafood pancake. My friends said they loved it here so I came to check it out and it did not disappoint . The pancake came out sizzling and crispy. I'm usually not too big of a fan of seafood pancakes but everything in this one was great. Not overcooked and the flavors came out great. The flavors worked so well with each other without having a heavy seafoody flavor.

Wow! We came 15 minutes before opening and there were already people trying to see if they were…read moreopened too. When we actually went in when the place opened, the place was packed with a high turnover time of people eating and leaving. There are 4 tables of about 4 people each and people would sit with strangers like a food court. There is a kiosk where you can order as well as a cashier to take your order. I've had their beef hand pulled noodles before, but today I tried the Mt Qi Pork Spicy and Sour Hand Pulled Noodles with Soup and it was delicious. I did the least spicy since I cannot tolerate spicy very well and it was perfect. The broth and meat is very flavorful and pairs great with the noodles. As for their drinks, they have 3 main ones: sour haw, chrysanthemum, and Jasmine. I love how the drinks are not that sweet and is very refreshing after eating the spicy noodles. I see why there are two locations in Flushing. The one is Tangram is more spacious with more seats so better during busy hours!

I confess that once I realized how big of a chain this place is in NY I had my hesitations but wow the food proved me wrong and I repent. The noodles are fresh and hand pulled, great texture and bite. The spice is real though so be prepared! We also ordered the lamb dumplings in soup, which was a pleasant surprise with a nice acidic punch in the broth. The dumpling skin is a bit on the thicker side, which matches the noodles so makes sense. There are notes around the restaurant saying that the food is meant to be enjoyed spicy and I'd agree. Their unique selling point is the chili oil and seasonings so enjoy it as intended if you can. Also you can order at the kiosk if the employees seem to be busy and don't acknowledge you lol. Took me a second to realize as I just stood there. Solid stop in our Flushing food journey
