Another of my all-time favorite Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. It's a unique take on Chinese as they make the noodles right there in the kitchen while you wait. This is a bit out of the limits of Washington heights–Harlem to be exact– but if you're exploring, then this is a great place to get a delicious bite. It can get very busy as the locals love this place, but I think it's worth it.
