The homemade pasta is really strong and delicious

🍜 MDM Noodles: Boston’s Renowned Handmade Pasta Spot—Worth the Trip for Dumpling Lovers Touted as Boston’s “best noodle shop,” this place has been on my radar for ages—but wow, it’s far. Finally made the journey, and while it’s a solid spot for satisfying cravings, it doesn’t quite beat some of the city’s more iconic eateries. That said? When it comes to handmade pasta in Boston, it’s still in a league of its own (hit me up with other recs if you know better!). 🌟 The Standout: Handmade Dumplings Carrot-Beef & Cabbage-Pork Dumplings 🥟: Obsessed. These are the real stars. Plump, juicy, and packed with filling—you can taste the freshness, especially since we caught them mid-prep and got ours ultra-fresh. I even bought 60 frozen ones to take home (no regrets). If you love dumplings, this alone justifies the trip. 🍲 Noodles: Decent, but Not Life-Changing Braised Noodle Soup (Hui Mian): A solid crave-fixer, loaded with toppings (meat, veggies, herbs). It’s unique—even non-Henan folks will enjoy it—but I’ve had better versions in Toronto. Not quite authentic, but worth a try if you’re curious. Lamb Noodle Soup: Tender, meaty, and satisfying. The broth is rich, and there’s plenty of lamb, but it paled in comparison to the hui mian (in my book, anyway). 🙅 Skip These Rou Jia Mo (Meat Sandwich) & Lamb Skewers: The rou jia mo lacks that “wow” factor—dryer than I hoped, with a bland bun. And the skewers? Nothing special. I’m still chasing that Flushing (New York)magic—those are the gold standard. 💡 Verdict For You If: You’re obsessed with handmade dumplings or crave fresh, chewy noodles. The pasta here has a satisfying, toothsome texture (thicker than some, but in a good way) that’s hard to find elsewhere in Boston. Maybe Skip If: You’re short on time or not into thick, hearty noodles—distance-wise, it’s a commitment. 📍 MDM Noodles: Worth it for the dumplings, even with the commute. Neighbors, count yourselves lucky—you’ve got a gem nearby. #BostonNoodles #HandmadeDumplings #FoodieCraving
