Rey de Tallarines

El Rey de Tallarines serves up mouth-watering, homemade noodles that go with just about anything. It s even possible to watch them being made from the front of the restaurant, although the walls – which are coated in an elaborate tile mosaic that evokes something akin to a tropical beach setting – are enough for entertainment. The noodles with chicken and curry sauce come highly recommended, as do the noodles with shrimp. With dim sum dumplings on the side and a Tsingtao to drink, the meal comes out nearly perfect. The only downside to this popular restaurant is that sometimes a wait is necessary before getting a table, but the waiters are quick and efficient in getting everyone served once they're seated. - Michelle Campagna
