The 22 Best Chinese Restaurants In NYC

"Maxi’s is a teeny tiny cafe in Flushing specializing in Hong-Kong style noodle soup with springy egg noodles and wontons the size of a baby’s fist, both of which are made in-house. The two-bite wontons—filled with juicy pink pork and shrimp—are only one of six available toppings, but they’re a non-negotiable add. Other options include supersized dace fish balls, dumplings, and rich beef stew. Space is limited, and the food comes out fast. On a chilly morning, Maxi’s is the perfect impromptu pit stop for a bowl of hot broth and a milk tea." - neha talreja, bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, willa moore
