FLUSHING, QUEENS

Maxi's Noodle

Hong Kong wonton noodles done right — springy egg noodles, big wontons, dace fish balls on the side.

A small Hong Kong noodle shop with a handful of tables and a short, confident menu. The wonton noodle soup is the measure of the place: springy egg noodles that keep their bite, and large wontons in a hot, clear broth.

Build the bowl out with dace fish balls, dumplings or a ladle of soft beef stew, the way Hong Kong does. Food arrives fast and seats turn over quickly, so it works best as a solo lunch or an early-morning stop before the rest of Flushing wakes up.

Editor’s tip

Wonton noodle soup with dace fish balls added; go at lunch on a weekday.
