Liu Ji Sichuan Noodle House — Restaurant in New York

I was starving on my lunch break and usually avoid eating around this neighborhood because I don’t think the food lives up to my standards. I am so glad I stumbled upon this little hole in the wall spot. Honestly it is the epitome of Michelin star quality tucked inside a humble Chinese eatery.

The place is tiny but the flavors are phenomenal. The chef told me the noodles are made from scratch which makes it even better.

The fried rice was also good but I’d get it without veggies just a preference. I added egg as well. Now - when it comes to adding the egg I had to actually go into the store and speak into the phone so they can translate and understand me. I tried calling ahead of time for pick up but they do not speak English !! Although I get it - ALSO ZERO ENGLISH IS KINDA NUTS ! It was hard to understand each to her before the guy came out with the translator. Overall it seems like a homey restaurant and they...
