Chong Qing Noodle（表姐重庆面馆） — Restaurant in Newark

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered the B2 Spicy Sliced Beef and Beef Tongue in Chili Sauce, but instead of beef tongue, they brought beef strips and insisted this is how the dish has always been served. I pointed out that the menu clearly lists beef tongue, but the staff offered no apology and simply took the dish away without any resolution.

I also ordered the A7 Three Fresh Noodles (with day lily, fungus, quail eggs, shredded pork, and pork liver), but the dish was missing the pork liver. I didn’t bother to bring it up at the time, but it was another letdown.

Additionally, the service was rude. The lady, Biao Jie, questioned my choice to order the noodles with light spice, making a judgmental comment about whether I wanted to add more spice. It was disrespectful of my preferences, and I felt uncomfortable.

I would not recommend this place. If you decide to visit, I strongly advise confirming your order and ingredients beforehand, as they may not deliver what's listed...

Chongqing Noodle is a great place to have a quick, satisfying meal. And unlike a certain San Francisco full restaurant that pretends Chongqing flavor, this one is for real.

I first had signature braised beef noodles, a traditional Sichuan dish half year ago. It was delicious! Then, I brought my daughter to this place. After her recent visit to Chongqing, she recommended Chongqing Noodle pea ground pork noodles, and ordered shredded eel with pickled pepper noodle. The flavor was nice although I could use more soup in soup noodles. As a taste test, we had to order spicy sliced beef and ox tongue in chili sauce. It tasted great.

The small and comfortable restaurant is family owned. Simple furniture is sufficient. Decor is minimal. When you see owner's friends and other regulars in the dining hall, you know this place is for real. How real? Its Chinese name is "Elder Female Cousin's Chongqing Noodle". Elder female cousin, or 表姐, is a very Chongqing slang to signify "I'll take...

The service was friendly and fast. They could accomodate non spicy option for my kid. These noodles are more like dry noodle (only has small soup at the bottom). They were authentic Chongqing dry noodle with its signature spicy soup. The portion was generous.

A1 Chongqing noodle pea ground pork noodles (non spicy): the thin noodle was cooked perfectly (still a bit firm & had chew). The ground pork was very flavorful & tasted like authentic Chongqing flavor (had lot of earthy spices). When I mixed the pea with the noodle, it gave creamy texture to the whole dish. If I ate this for myself, I would ordered the spicy version but my kid loved the non spicy one. A6 Chongqing dry noodle with ground pork: simple and delicious authentic spicy dry noodle. The noodle was firm yet chewy. The spicy sauce had good spiciness (didn’t me sweat but my tongue definitely tasted the burn). The ground pork was flavorful and they gave generous...
