Maxi's is a wonton noodle shop, and it has the loyal customer base to continue running with immense…read moresuccess. The broth arrives and you know immediately. It is clear, not because it is diluted or made from a powder, but clear in the way that only hours of careful skimming can produce. This is a broth that has been edited, notimprovised. You taste sesame oil. You taste white pepper. You taste the quiet backbone of xiaosing wine. The wonton shrimp balls are magnificent. They are large and generous. When you bite through the slick wrapper, the shrimp inside is bouncy and sweet. You can imagine the type of family that immigranted to America, the arguments that they had, the dream the owners had when opening this store. This restaurant feels like one person made it, one person had a distinct vision and concept, and it was all they knew. I felt like I relived memories that I did not have. In three days in New York -- three days of ambitious tasting menus and celebrated kitchens and meals that performed their own importance -- this $15 bowl I kept thinking about on the flight home. Not because it surprised me, but because it didn't try to. Every ingredient was intentional. Every sip landed exactly where it was aimed. There was no wasted motion, no hedged bet, no seasoning added to flatter a palate it wasn't built for.

There's a "People Love Us on Yelp" sticker at Maxi's Noodle which is basically all that needs to be…read moresaid! Maxi's Noodle is teensy; a sign warns you that tables may be shared. I ate in the enclosed patio which only had two tables, and the inside didn't seem much bigger. There is no bathroom for customers so don't bank on bio breaks here. It's efficient in that I was seated promptly, was able to place my order when I was ready, and the food came out lickety-split. Carry cash for a discount. I ordered the Wonton, Dumpling, & Beef Stew Noodle Soup ($14.75) under the "Popular Items" section of the menu since it seemed sampler-esque. The wontons and dumplings were similar since they both contained shrimp and pork but I leaned towards the dumplings since they also included mushroom, bamboo, wood ear, and chives. The duck egg noodles, beef, and broth rounded out the awesomeness. Can't wait to return with others!

3.5 Overall Decent…read moresized space for the area. They weren't too packed on a weekend afternoon. They seem to get more takeout/delivery orders than dine in. You order on iPad at the table, and the staff is available if you have any questions. When you confirm your order on the iPad, they will confirm with you. Service is friendly and helpful. The food came out quick! Their kitchen is in the basement and they have the dumb waiter sending up food, so very efficient use of space. The Dumplings in Chili Oil (can adjust spice level and cilantro) has added texture with crushed peanuts. We got the regular spicy, but could have gotten extra spicy. They were a decent appetizer but I'd go for something else. The Abalone and Chicken Rice Noodles had decent chicken flavor. There were a couple pieces of dark meat, which I enjoyed. Not sure if there was abalone in here, but if there was, it was nondescript. The rice noodles were well cooked. The Plum Juice had a lovely smokey flavor, along with a lemony flavor form the couple of lemon slices inside. It was not too sweet, though I personally could go for less sugar. Overall, a decent spot for rice noodles. They do have multiple locations, so go to the one near you! No need to go out of your way.

I've brought friends here because I've always enjoyed their dishes. There also aren't many noodle restaurants left in the neighborhood, so it's nice to have a spot like this. It's a great place to visit on a cold day. The restaurant itself is a decent size. It can get busy in the evenings, but for the most part, you can still find a table. The portions are quite generous, and the service is good. There's minimal interaction with the staff since you place your order through a tablet provided at the table. Be mindful if you have peanut allergies definitely let them know so they don't sprinkle peanut on certain dishes. Overall, this is a great place to get a warm noodle soups during Winter season.

The restaurant is new and spacious. The saving dish that brings this up a star rating was the lamb dumplings, That was very juicy and tasty.

It's order at the counter and sit down setup. Staff was friendly enough. We ordered the lamb noodle soup and seafood stir friend noodles. Came out to about $20. The food at first glance probably isn't the prettiest, but it definitely hits. You can see them making the noodles in the back so you know it's fresh. The actual lamb and seafood quantity could've been more, but there was no shortage of bouncy, delicious noodles. Hit it with some chili oil for some variation and you're good. Overall, solid spot for a casual meal in flushing.

We decided to get a braised combo (egg, tofu, seaweed & pig ears) and braised beef & tendon noodle soup & spicy beef noodle soup. The food quickly arrived. The noodle has a nice chew and the beef & tendon were melt in your mouth. Wish the broth could be richer. Overall a good bowl of noodle soup. The price was reasonable. Not wow. Good.

I like that they stored it in the bowl separately so the rice doesn't get soggy in transport. The dish was packed with crab meat and roe. Every bite was delicious. It also came with some pickled wood ear, cabbage, a half of hard boiled egg and vinegar. We also shared a pork zongzi which was also delicious. We will be returning again in the future for sure.
