Why isn't this good restaurant popular??
š Chili Square: A Hidden Gem in QuincyāHandmade Noodles and Hearty Flavors That Wow This tiny spot has been lingering in my bookmarks for ages, and I kick myself for not visiting sooner. A friend mentioned how good it was, and now I get it: This is what happens when a restaurant cares about crafting real, delicious food. Who says Boston doesnāt have authentic handmade noodles? Chili Square proves them wrongāand does it better than most. Compared to (MDM), their dough is lighter, thinner, and somehow more tender. A total win. š„ The Standout Dishes (All 5 Stars) Lamb Biang Biang Noodles ⢠The only place in Boston Iāve found biang biang noodles, and theyāre 7.8/10 on the ātastes-like-homeā scale. Wide, chewy noodles tossed in a savory sauce, loaded with tender lamb. Theyāre a little oily, but thatās part of their charmāso satisfying, youāll lick the bowl. Sour Fish Soup ⢠Curious where the owner learned to cook thisātheir take on sour fish soup is spot-on. The pickled cabbage (suan cai) is so flavorful, it might even outshine the fish (and thatās a compliment). The bowl is hugeālucky me, I got a second meal out of the leftovers. Lamb Rou Jia Mo ⢠Finally! A lamb-stuffed rou jia mo (Chinese-style meat sandwich) where the filling overflows. The meat is tender, fragrant, and spiced perfectly, tucked into a crispy, flaky bun. So hearty, so deliciousāworth the trip alone. š” Quick Tips Location: Chili Square in Quincyādonāt let the name fool you. Itās more about central Chinese comfort food than spicy dishes. Payment: Cash only, so hit an ATM first. Price: The three dishes above? Just $45. For portions this big, thatās a steal. š¤ What to Try Next? Iām already planning my return for their Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles and braised chicken with potatoes. Any other recommendations? Lucky Quincy localsāthis spotās a treasure. For the rest of us? Itās worth the drive. #BostonFood #QuincyEats #HandmadeNoodles #HiddenGems
