Boston | For this chicken, I go to Big Drum Rice Noodles every week

🍗 Big Drum Noodle House: Boston’s Hidden Gem for Fried Chicken & More Let me start with this: Big Drum Noodle House’s fried chicken is life-changing. No shade to other spots, but it’s 10x better than most fast-food fried chicken. It tastes like the classic Chinese-style fried chicken you crave—crispy, fragrant, and perfectly marinated. Every bite hits that “I need more” spot. It’s a must-order every time. Fair warning: It takes ~20 minutes because it’s made fresh, but trust me—worth the wait. Even for takeout? They poke holes in the box to keep it crispy, so it stays crunchy all the way home. 🔥 🍜 More to Love Rice Noodles: My go-to is the Xiangxi Beef Noodle Soup. Spicy, tangy, and so satisfying—ideal for cold days. The beef? Tender flank steak, piled high—you’ll struggle to finish it all. Cold Dishes: The Fuqi Feipian (Sichuan beef tripe & tendon) is a winner—spicy, savory, with that classic Sichuan kick. Skip the braised lotus root and 口水鸡 (mouthwater chicken), though—their seasoning felt off to me. Desserts: 🍮 Solid across the board. The taro balls? Chewy, soft, cooked to perfection. Milk tea jelly and grass jelly? Silky smooth—great for cooling down after spicy noodles. 📍 Big Drum Noodle House If you’re a fried chicken fan (or just crave solid Chinese comfort food), this spot’s a no-brainer. #BostonChineseFood #FriedChickenObsessed #NoodleLove
