Cheap & Cheerful

I really like their scallion pancakes and chow mein. The pan fried dumplings are kind of hit-or-miss, but when they're good, they're very good. I'm not crazy about the dry noodles with sesame sauce.

It's not a beautiful locale, but the servers are really nice and it's a nice place to get together for an inexpensive and quick meal. I get a craving for those pancakes every couple of months. I also dig the orange facade. It's a lovely eyesore.

• Pros: scallion pancakes, chow mein
• Cons: decor

Noodle Heaven

Fantastic little restaurant for Chinese comfort food. The noodle soups are always flavorful and filling, especially the beef handmade noodle. Try matching with the must-have onion pancake (flaky and flavorful) and the pungent cucumber and garlic salad (you'll taste if for hours). The dumplings are also very, very good. We go here so often, we've taken to calling the place simply "the MNH" -- the less time we spend saying the restaurant's full name, the more time we have to eat. The waitresses are ALWAYS courteous and caring and happy to see us. Don't miss it!

• Pros: Food is exceptional and almost unbelievably cheap.
• Cons: Parking in the small lot, especially on the weekends.

Noodles and dumplings!

Great handmade noodles, scallion pancakes, and dumplings. Perfect for a quick meal that won't hurt your wallet. Don't expect great service or ambiance.
