JiBeiChuan — Restaurant in New York

this is a very nice spot to grab a quick dinner. their service is excellent and waited about 5 minutes for food after ordering which is very impressive. it’s an pay first then eat type of restaurant so you order at the front counter. served hot lemon water as complementary, not my fav drink choice but actually went alright with the meal. the appetizers were really nice, bold flavors, great texture. got the pig ear and the cold cut chicken. very nice. chicken was slightly spicy but not overwhelming. it’s the flavorful type of spicy. the pigs ear was the ideal amount of crunch and the sauce was vinegary. could go without it but it was a nice addition. the noodles were very tasty, al dente, and absorbed the flavor of the soup. very delicious. we got 2 beef brisket noodles and a basa fish one. the beef was tender and not dry, it was rather very juicy. the fish was seasoned, with that slight break that tells you it’s done correctly. overall had a great experience and would love to come back to eat with more people.
