    Beef wrap, and scallion pancake
    Howard W.

    This is the first time I come here my beef flank soup was very good and my friends pickled vegetable fish. Soup was also delicious. The scallion, wet beef also good I will come back. And the surface was fast efficient and the place is clean with bright light, modern deco.

    Braised bone rice noodle
    Sharon L.

    The Flushing location for ten seconds noodles is somehow even better than the Brooklyn one! Stopped by for a quick dinner with my boyfriend & I was quite surprised that the two locations could differ so drastically. My boyfriend ordered the braised bone rice noodle, & I got the spicy sliced beef rice noodle. I actually really liked my boyfriend's soup - the broth was so flavorful & rich. I really liked mine as well - it's like a mala soup base, and the spice level wasn't bad at all. There's 2 pepper signs on the menu, but I'd say it was closer to 1. It was incredibly flavorful as well. I really appreciate how they give you little bowls on the side to either scoop out some toppings, the noodles, or soup. It makes it much easier to eat the noodles since the broth is piping hot and makes for a bit of a splatter hazard. There'a also chili oil on the table, and it was really yummy. Free noodle refills are available at this location, and scallion & cilantro toppings are free as well. Yelp check in provides a free passionfruit tea (it was really good!) or plum juice, and can be redeemed for each person who checks in at the table.

    Gigantic portions here! This was the most stuffed I have been in a while. The service here is very lax, but at least they're not rushing you. I got the Tomato w. Beef Flank Rice Noodle ($12.95), which like all their pots, came already pre-assembled in this impressive black pot. Normally, crossing the bridge noodles's uniqueness came from the disassembled ingredients as shown in some of their past pics. So I was disappointed at first. But upon digging in, the flavor was very delicious! I wasn't expecting to see snow fungus in my broth, but the usual bean curd, quail egg, and corn were there. Their Beef Flank was also not chewy at all, and easy to bite into. And for a tomato broth, there were no tomatoes as a fyi. Most amazingly, I was impressed by how full I was off of this affordable meal. If you ever need a quick meal on a budget one cold night, you know where to look!

    4.5/5 I'm a lover of all noods. Bf and I wanted to try this place for a quick dinner and it was sorta packed when we got there. They do have limited outdoor seating as well. We waited for about 5 mins and people started to leave after their meal. We thought it must be yummy if people came in on a rolling basis. Looking at the menu was a little overwhelming at first because of all the options. Bf got the pickled cabbage fish fillet rice noodles and I decided on the tomato beef rice noodles. We were both WOWed. The fish fillets were not fishy at all and the tomato broth/soup was flavorful. You can also get free refills of the rice noodles!!!! Overall super yummy, and warmed our bodies on a chilly day. Would definitely come back to try their other noodles.

    A new dining experience for me and husband. We never expected that we will have a good time . We never been dining-in for the past long months. We were thinking of dining out when we checked in but when we saw that they follow distancing , we agreed to be seated inside. It is under new management for those who had been here before since the menu has different business name. The noodle broth taste is amazingly different basing on our past dining experiences with restaurants offering same kind of meal. I had the chicken rice noodle soup and my husband had the spicy beef flank rice noodle soup. My husband had complimented the uniqueness of its taste multiple times. It must be really really good. I did not try his because I do not like spicy foods. The stoneware used kept the soup hot the whole time while we were there. I may buy those kind of pot for personal use. Lol. We were thinking of coming back once get comfortable again with the situation.

    I think the experience is much better in store. I ordered delivery - I have to say their packaging is real fancy, however, it's missing many things like the quail, egg, wings, etc. You'll want to see them plated and add yourself which you'll only get to do in store.

    Pork Chop Rice Noodle
    Bentley H.

    I've been here a few times both sitting down at the restaurant and ordering for takeout. I ordered the fried pork chop noodle soup and it comes with a large assortment of ingredients. It comes in a large pipping hot pot so be careful. Broth is flavorful as it is infused with all the ingredients. The pork was ok. I wish that they had put it on the side instead of in the soup. It gets pretty busy late at night since it's one of the few restaurants that opens until 10:30. We were sat at the table where they usually pack the orders due to how popular the place was. Quick tip- I believe you can ask for free unlimited noodle refills. They also give you two off-branded yakult drinks at the end!

    Been here twice already and I love this place!! Both times, I came on a Friday afternoon during my lunch break (1230PM - 130PM) and it does get pretty crowded! If I make it here by 12:35-12:40, there's not much of a wait but once I get here a little later than that, it's gets packed really quickly. It is a small place and can probably fit about 30-40 people? The first time, I had ordered the Beef with Kimchi Rice Noodles ($11.95) and it was SUPER DELICIOUS. The waitresses first bring out the dishes/ingredients of uncooked meat, corn, bean curd, raw egg, slices of ham, etc etc and then after a few minutes, they bring out the hot stone bowl. (It comes out relatively quickly so I wasn't on a time crunch to finish my food.) They also ask if you if you'd like to put the ing yourself or if you want them to put it in. I asked the waitress to put it in for me so I could record!! They're quick and careful because the hot stone bowl is extremely hot! I absolutely love fatty beef so that was very delicious. The soup base was also very flavorful + tasteful - it had a little spicy kick to it! The second time I went, I got the Beef Flank Tomato Rice Noodle (also $11.95). However, this time I came a little past 12:45pm and the hot stone bowl didn't come out until 20 minutes after my friends and I ordered! I was on a time crunch because I only had 15 minutes to eat this super hot bowl of beef flank tomato rice noodle. The broth definitely had a strong tomato taste but I had burnt my tongue slightly because I was rushing! So gotta be careful! I also couldn't get over how the meat was so tender and tasted so juicy!! Drooling just thinking about it right now! Both times, I couldn't finish my food so the waitresses would put it in a container for me to take to go. Another great thing about this place is FREE WIFI! Definitely will continue to come back and try other things on the menu!!

    You know it's authentic Chinese while there are many Chinese people inside! The best selling dish is "Crossing-the-bridge noodles"form Yunnan province. Food is fresh and I like how they separated the sides and the noodles and let you put together whilst they served you with a boiling hot broth in a stone bowl, so they don't get over cooked or soggy. I like their indication of spiciness form 1-3 , I think 2 is the perfect spiciness for me! If you checked in on Yelp they would offer a free plum drink or passion fruit tea, I only tried the passion fruit tea, it's delicious and hydrating! Two things that I don't like about the restaurant: THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!!!!!!!! THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!!!!!!!! THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!!!!!!!! That's very important so I have to say it 3 times. Oh! and if they don't bring the trash out from the front whilst people are eating that would be much appreciated.

    Disgusting!!! I ordered rice noodle and noodles with soy bean paste, and there are cockroaches inside. More than one of them. More than one!!! Who can imagine it!!

    Lamb tomato noodle soup?
    Roger H.

    Nice friendly staff, but incredibly confusing menu where everything look scattered, was all over the place, and did not provide translations for every item on the menu. I ordered the pork belly pan fried noodles and the lamb tomato soup noodles, the pork belly pan fried noodle was okay, it was incredibly oily due to the hot oils that were used to cook up the dish, the tomato lamb soup noodle had a great hearty lamb flavor that combined well with all the ingredients there. Overall nothing about this place stood out to me, it was overall an incredibly average experience topped with a confusing menu

    The fact that this place has less than 4 stars is a crime. These noodles are one of my favorite comfort foods. I always order the spicy beef rice noodle. SOOOO GOOD!!! The portion size is also HUMONGOUS. It's really worth all your money. Tip: if you order take out, you can add more toppings from home and make it even tastier

    Is it authentic?! What's the best to get here?

    It's not authentic, fusion: tomato soup base, kimchi soup base. Park car in parking garage or 7 train to main st station. Both need to walk 1-2 blocks

    Love the Wonton Noodle Soup here. At minimum I at least get the egg noodle with wonton. Recently I…read morewant back and did the 3 topping with wonton, dumpling, and dace fish ball. All were delicious! I have bought it and re-heated it up the next day as well and it still taste good! Tried the shark fin soup as well and it is thicker (not very soupy) but flavor is great. If you don't like the thickness you can always add some water to it. Definitely a go to spot if I am in the area :)

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.

    Fast casual spot inside the lower level of the Tangram Mall. Right next door to the Kura Revolving…read moreSushi Bar. Easy to find place. You order at the front counter or through the kiosk. Staff hands you a receipt with your order #. Staff then proceeds to call out your #, hopefully you're standing near the counter to hear it. Otherwise, the food might start getting cold. Wished they would use buzzing pagers in case anyone happens to be using the restroom. Fast service from friendly staff. Ambiance looks like cafeteria style with the metal tables and low wooden stools. I would say, the space wise is decent-sized. So, you better drop everything and grab a seat because it can get packed very fast. Yes, very fast. You don't want to be left waiting around and/or standing while holding your tray of hot food. Always enjoy it hot because it doesn't taste the same once it gets cold. Of course, you can always get it to go and try searching for a place to sit upstairs by the food hall seating area. Ordered my usual order of [N1] Spicy Cumin Lamb Hand-Ripped Noodles. Slurping up the thick, wide hand-pulled noodles with my chopsticks. Stuffing my face with the thinly-cut meaty lamb goodness. Asked for mild spiciness because medium spicy level would just burn through my nostrils too much. Make sure to have a bottled water or tea in your hand. Don't need to start crying from the heat either. No food pics this time around as the shop was about to close in 30 minutes. As you all know by now, I happen to be a slower eater. Phew! Good thing I still managed to inhale this dish in 20 minutes though.

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.

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!
