There's a "People Love Us on Yelp" sticker at Maxi's Noodle which is basically all that needs to be said! 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! read more

Super popular spot if you're craving wonton noodles in the Flushing area. So popular now they have multiple locations throughout NYC. Walked in on a Saturday around 6pm and managed to get the last two top. Don't be surprised if you need to wait a bit on a Saturday or Sunday around lunch. At any rate, get the wonton noodle soup. Or the combo that includes dumpling and dace fish ball if you want to get wild. All the toppings are fat(!!) from the wontons to the dumplings and fish balls. It's great. But for me the real star of the show is those bouncy duck egg noodles. They have a bounce that really puts it at the top of the list for me when it comes to duck egg noodle/wonton noodles. A perfect comfort meal on a cold day. Throw in some vinegar or chili oil between bites and you're in for a treat. Also ordered the (imitation) shark fin soup. It was solid. Texture might not be for everyone, but nice thing to snack on while you wait for your food, but not necessary. Service is quick. The space as I mentioned is small and can feel a little cramped, but they offer takeout if you wanted to just bring it back home. I'd still recommend just dining in though. Overall, great spot. Also there's a decent discount if you pay with cash. read more

This is one of my favorite noodle places in Flushing. I have mostly gone around lunch time and this place is usually always busy. This is the original location and it's quite small. The staff here are friendly and will make space for you by dividing up the table if you want to dine in. I usually stick to the same thing, the three toppings noodle soup with egg noodles, beef tendon or stew and dumplings. The broth is fish based and somehow it really enhances the flavor of the beef. I absolutely love the dumplings, they are big and stuffed with shrimp. This is the type of place where the focus is truly on the food. The soup is perfect for when you're not feeling well or its cold outside and you need some comfort food. read more

I haven't had a wonton noodle soup at Maxi in some time, and it really reallly hit the spot! Went close to closing so ordered 1 wonton noodle soup to go- comes with 4 giant wontons, noodles & greens in 1 container & the broth in another, which i appreciate so the noodles get too soggy. The broth itself was flavorful without being greasy or too salty. The chili oil was light in color which made it look unassuming but it really had a kick! Spicier than I expected but it was also a very clean spice (not lingering or greasy some how) Overall an amazing bowl of noodle soup to warm up while its cold out read more

I didn't expect this place, just walked in because I was hungry and didn't check reviews on Yelp. Normally, I always look up restaurants since I'm not from here. I ordered egg noodles with three toppings: wontons, dumplings, and dace fish paste. I was really impressed--the toppings were all big and very tasty. You can tell the ingredients inside are fresh, and they don't mix in too much flour with the fish paste. The soup and toppings were well-seasoned, so I didn't even need any extra dipping sauce. It would taste even better and more fragrant if you add some chili oil. I also ordered a side of boiled vegetables with oyster sauce, which was just average. You can eat at almost any Cantonese restaurant. As for drinks, I ordered a Hong Kong-style coffee, but it wasn't really my taste--I found the lemon tea better. read more

A wonderful simple but hearty bowl of noodles! I was stopping by for a quick dinner, and though I was a solo diner and it was close to closing time, the wait staff gladly took me in. I wanted something simple, so I got the egg noodles with shrimp wonton. The broth was fish-based but very clean and not too heavily spiced or flavored. I had a few sips, and then added the chili oil, which was very garlic heavy. A little addition went a long way, and I loved the way it complemented the soup! There were four big shrimp wonton in the soup. The shrimp filling was really plump and sweet with a savory kick from the sesame oil. This is how I remember my shrimp wonton and dumplings tasting back twenty years ago. No bulls hit fillers! The egg noodles came slightly crunchy and softened a little towards the end of the meal. I see now why Maxi's Noodle creates such buzz and continues to be loved by the community. I cannot wait to return and try more. read more

Great spot for fresh Wonton and noodles. Broth is flavorful and the Wonton are filled to the max. And the beef, just melted. Fishballs were tastey and plump.

We ordered a wonton soup with extra dumplings and curry fish balls. The five of us all sat snuggled up on one table and shared it. It was the perfect snack, but we all could've ordered a bowl.

This place has been on my "want to try" list for a while. It was kind of close to closing time when I visited so I was happy to still be able to order and take my soup to go. A+ for service already I love that they have a vegetarian/vegan broth option for soups so that's what I got. I highly recommend the duck egg noodles! Great texture and they went so well with the well seasoned broth. The mushroom was an add-on item and was interesting. Thick, chewy, and semi sweet. I've never tasted a mushroom like that before. Lowkey, the star of the soup for me were the big leafy green vegetables! They were cooked absolutely perfectly and weren't bitter! They provided welcomed crunch and balance to the soup. I added the included chili oil and it did not disappoint I see what the hype is about and I will absolutely be back to try more. Maxi's Noodle is valid. read more

Great noodle joint for a quick grab, and catch up or take out. Inside space is enough for party of 2-6 at a time. We got udon for our noodle soups. We had wonton with beef stew, mushroom noodle soup in vegetable broth and udon with beef stew. The beef stew was delicious, the noodle broth with the beef stew almost tasted like a desi paya, delicious in winter time. Service was great. Loved the house chilli oil, bought two jars to go! read more

Maxi's Noodle hits. It is heavily hyped and tbh I get it. It is quick, simple, and about as close to a perfect bowl of HK style wonton noodles. The wontons are massive, like they aren't messing around when they say "massive wonton." The broth is so savory and light and the wontons are just packedddd with fresh and crisp shrimp. Like it is very shrimp forward. Tip: get the flat rice noodles, add beef stew on the side, and finish it off with white pepper and red vinegar. It's basically the platonic ideal of shrimp wonton noodle soup. Around 13 bucks if paid with cash and the space is pretty small, but the turnaround is quick and worth every minute. read more

Possibly my most favorite noodle soup in all of New York City right now! Lately life has introduced me to some really good businesses worth the trek to Flushing (for the love of all things beauty!) and whenever I go do these appointments, I'm comforted by the fact that I can enjoy my favorite Beef + Wonton Noodle soup after. I go for the 2-topping option and add extra noodles and it's always so satisfying! It's a small and no frills place so I just order pick-up to go and get in the car and get back home. The wontons are huge and the beef is delicious, they just need to be a little more generous with the beef stew sauce a bit. Add some chili oil and voila. Trust that you'll crave it in just a matter of days! Thanks Maxi's, will be back again soon! :) read more

Hands down, best shrimp wonton you can get in Flushing. I went when I was in the area and literally just got an order of wontons and soup - no noodles needed. And since I can't get enough and don't go to Flushing often, I also bought a bag of their frozen wontons to bring home. Can confirm their frozen ones are just as good as their fresh ones. This location doesn't have a bathroom for customers, and dining tables are limited to 4 small tables indoors and 2-3 small tables outdoors. read more

Came here the other day and ordered through the fan Tuan app. I was genuine suprised by how big the wontons were. It was delicious! I got the two topping with noodles and ended up choosing duping and wontons. (Personally preferred the wontons more) but I'm glad I gave everything a try. Their chili sauce is delicious too! I saw a few people dining in and it looks to be cafeteria style iykyk. Would definitely come back if i am in the area. read more

Maxi's is the first restaurant we visit every time we are in New York. One of the waitresses who has been there for years actually recognizes us. The place is kinda small and cozy with some outdoor tables. Ordered Wonton Noodle Soup, Wonton and Dumpling Soup, Wonton and Brisket Noodle Soup, and Hot Milk Tea. Everything was delicious as always. Their wontons, dumplings, and brisket are all perfectly prepared. Their noodle has the right texture, and their soup has the right flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable. Just the best wonton noodle shop in the country. read more

Everything at Maxi's Noodle was so, so, so good. The shrimp dumplings were absolute perfection - bouncy, delish, HUGE, and just incredibly satisfying. I got the egg noodles and I'm a little biased since egg noodles are my favorite in the noodle world, but these were everything I hoped for. Springy, silky, and soaked up the broth beautifully. Every bite was a joy and portions are generous. Nothing disappointed. Comforting, delicious, and absolutely deserving of the hype. I already can't wait to come back. 5/5. read more

Even though it was 90 degrees I was craving for good wonton noodle soup. So at 4pm-ish we arrived with the place full of diners. The place is simple with 4 tables inside and 4 tackles outside. We were able to place our order and as soon as the table is available we were seated; about 10 minutes. Two orders of 3 ingredient noodle soup was ordered. Both are dumplings, wonton beef street noodle soup. One with egg noodle and one without. In few short minutes, our order came and some I ordered with noodle they gave me an extra dumpling and wonton. Very worth it! With their chili sauce, white pepper and red vinegar added to the soup, the meal was a notch up. It was so filling that I end up taking leftovers home (most unlikely for most customers since it's av perfect one person portion). Ordered a Hong Kong milk tea to go! Paid for the bill and left satisfied. FYI. Don't expect to linger and chat as there is always a wait. Definitely coming back! read more

Definitely your hole in the wall with the typical fold out tables and tiny chairs for you to squat on if you decide to eat there on the spot. We've gone past this place several times and saw people sitting in front on the sidewalk eating their noodles but never really got the chance to try it until recently. Utensils and bowls were all disposable and it's certainly a no frills type of place. You are really there for the food. They were very accommodating for our large group and we chose to be ok with being squished in as a party of 8 in such a tiny space just so we can enjoy the food there on the spot. Service was super quick. They had a "special" off the menu fried wontons which were super crunchy but a bit too oily for my taste. Other than that, everything else was +A. Their signature wontons are huge chunks in a warm broth accompanied by typical egg noodles to warm your tummies especially on a cold winter day. Spicy sauce on the side for those who want a dab in to kick it up a notch. The dace fish balls were bouncy and with a good fragrant herb. The curry fish balls had just the right kick and were as expected them to be. You can get HK milk tea there as well for much more cheaper than across the street at the Tangram mall. read more

We came in at just the right time and got a table for 2 inside with little wait on a Friday. My family and I have a spot in Hong Kong that we get wonton noodles at, and this place compares well with them. Wonton noodles are one of my favorite dishes, so I had to get that. While the noodles might not be quite as springy as the Hong Kong ones from my memory, the shrimp wontons might be even better in both size and flavor. We also got the veggies in oyster sauce to round out the meal and I appreciated that they weren't overly thick and that there was enough oyster sauce, which isn't always the case at other places. The staff was nice and this simple little spot was just what I wanted that day. Would love to come back and have the same meal again. read more

Arguably my favorite wontons outside of Hong Kong, approved by a Hong Konger!   Last year, Yelp ranked Maxi's Noodle No.1 on their Top 100 Chinese Restaurants list, and for good reason. It is a mom-and-pop restaurant specialized in Hong Kong style wonton noodles.   You can add one topping for $10.75 or two toppings for $11.75. Beef stew/tendon is an additional $2. It's not the cheapest, but the quality is definitely worth it, Especially since wonton noodles could be pricey even in Hong Kong.   They have two locations in Flushing and a new location in Chinatown. ＊Flat Rice Noodle with Wonton and Beef Stew 雲吞牛腩河 $13.75 I went with their hor fun (flat rice noodles), which were smooth and perfectly cooked. The wontons were filled with plump and meaty shrimps. The braised beef shank was another highlight--it had a great balance of tender tendon and lean meat, packed with flavor. The broth could've been a bit richer, but on the plus side, it means they don't use MSG. I didn't try but my relatives also sing praises about their dace fish balls (鯪魚球). read more

If you like large wontons, Maxi's Noodle is the place for you! We shared a bowl with 6 gigantic wontons because we had just eaten elsewhere, but wanted to try Maxi's since we were in the area. The place is quite small inside, so we got a table outside. For 6 wontons, it was $10.75. Each wonton is about 2.5-3 normal sized wontons! It made me full just having 3. Tasty and satisfying! The filling reminded me of steamed shrimp dumplings (har gow). Service is no frills. They serve you tea or water. read more

Got the lo mein noodles with broth on the side. I added some mushrooms. The duck egg noodles were crispy. The mushrooms were huge...would have liked them cut up. The broth had a good kick to it for being vegetarian. The chili oil on the table was average. Struggle with my review because the service lacks if you do not speak the language. It's also a very tight space to sit in. They have two individuals in the front...either selling snacks or managing wait time. I think this space can be used to spread the tables more. Secondly, I had to flag the hostess a few times to put in our order and get the check as well. I am not sure what is going on with the shark fin soup on the menu...I see some reviews claiming it could be substitute meat...I sure hope so. I am glad I got to try Maxi's Noodles, as it seems popular in the area. read more

We came here just after 5pm to avoid the crowds, but still had to wait for a table since we were four. Fortunately we came early so it was only about 10 minutes. I had watched YouTube videos and read Yelp reviews so I knew what to order before we sat down. Everyone wanted wontons with the duck egg noodles, and we mixed in different toppings: dumplings, beef stew and tendons. It was good that we were a group of 4 so we could sample all of them. They were all good but next time, I would probably get three toppings with wonton, dumplings and beef stew (tendons were all collagen with no chew, so good for skin, bad for bite and taste). The duck eggs give the noodles such a nice bite! We also got the fried fish skin and veggies with oyster sauce. The skin was ok to try because we never had it before but will probably skip next time. TIP: But we will definitely get the veggies because it is really good mixed in with the soup, especially with a little of the oyster sauce to give the sauce a really deep umami flavor! I don't know if their other two locations are bigger but this place is small and pretty barebones with stools instead of real chairs. But this is part of the charm. You are not coming for ambiance,, just great noodles and dumplings! read more

Wonton noodles are widely available wherever Hong Kong or Cantonese-style noodles are served, but finding truly authentic ones can be challenging. Most places make decent wontons, but as someone from Hong Kong, I'm always searching for the perfect noodles--chewy, springy, and rich with an eggy texture. I don't live in New York City, but I've visited a few wonton noodle spots in Chinatown, and this one is truly legit. We stopped by in the late afternoon for a bowl of wonton noodles. The wontons were flavorful, with a delicate balance of shrimp and pork, and surprisingly large in size. The broth was clear, savory, and infused with a delightful shrimp essence. Seating is minimal, with a few small tables inside and a few more on the patio. Comfort isn't the focus--most people, like us, come for a quick eat and leave once they're done. I can imagine it gets quite crowded during peak hours. The waitress was very friendly, and service was quick. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to try the other items, like their dumplings and fish balls. read more

Maxi’s Noodle - Wonton 1 Topping Noodle Soup - Cantonese Near Me - Flushing, New York

The internet can either ruin a best-kept secret or completely overhype a business, and Maxis Noodle falls somewhere in between. Don't get me wrong--I ordered the 3 topping soup, and the broth was flavorful, the dumpling skins were thin and tasty, and I love that they don't skimp on the meat. But with all the hype, I was expecting an experience--an explosion of flavor, an out-of-body moment. Instead, it was just... good. I'm starting to think going viral isn't always a good thing for businesses because it sets an unrealistic expectation. If I had just stumbled in without seeing the Instagram video, I would have said it was tasty and well-made. But because the bar was set so high, I left unimpressed. It's tasty, for sure, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

Passed by this restaurant a couple of times in the past but didn't give it much thought other than that logo graphics was cute. Now I had to try it because it is one of the only two handful of NYC restaurants listed in Yelp's 100 Chinese restaurants. First impression was, boy the place was really cramped. I would say there was barely enough room for 4-5 people to stand/wait in front of the check in area. The enclosed curbside annex which is often used as waiting area was used to seat 8-10 people -- in the cold! Absolutely not desirable. I knew the place is known for wonton noodle soup so we had to order one to share. And as we planned to continue our food crawl later at the New World Food Court, we thought a Ja Jiang Noodle (a la Jjajiangmyun) as second dish would be ideal because we wouldn't be filling ourselves with another bowl of soup. We were shocked when the dish came served in the form of noodle soup! I had never had Ja Jiang noodle as a soupy dish in my Asian life!! In my mind, the Ja Jiang bean paste would dissipate in soup so it makes no sense. The reality was that it wasn't a traditional Jia Jiang but pork strips with mushrooms. The saving grace for that disaster was the broth was tomato based, Red Borscht-like soup which I do like. Now the famous wonton noodle soup, while not bad, wasn't nearly as good as my go-to place in Edison NJ - the Wonton Guy, where the wontons are bigger, tastier, and the broth has more umami. Another big minus was, while this is a eat-in place by any measure, there were signs everywhere, apologizing that there is no restroom available!! Yikes. read more

Right in the heart of Chinatown we finally have a Maxi's. It's a very small, cramped establishment but the servers ensure you are well taken care of. But warning you will be very close to other customers (like elbow touching close). Tbh it's nyc and I say make a new friend over the delish noodles Their wonton soup is highly recommended so definitely order that. You can add another topping to it and I chose the beef stew which went super well with the flavor of the noodle broth. The duck egg noodles in my Opinion are the best as they soak up the flavor whole heartedly. My partner added the pork ja jiang but unfortunately that doesn't do well as a noodle soup topping - it must be very flavorful on its own though If you are a milk tea person you should try that too! I'm not and so I stuck to the delicious noodle soup to which I added more of their chilli oil Tip: carry cash :) read more
