Happy Beef Noodle House

Occasion: Post-US Open (Sharapova def Benesova; Djokovic def Petzschner) snack with Yining
Location: Happy Beef Noodle House on Prince between 38th and 39th Ave in Flushing, Queens
Edibles: noodles with stewed beef and tendon


Musings: Generally speaking, a very good effort and hard to beat for the price. The highlight for me was the stewed beef. My mom couldn't have done it better, and that's saying something. Really flavorful and falling-apart tender.

Some minor critiques: 1) the tendon could have had a bit more bite to it, i.e. not been cooked quite so soft; 2) the noodles aren't as good as Lanzhou - if only they could combine their powers; 3) the broth was a little thin for my taste, though Yining liked it fine.

On the way out, we also discovered an interesting-looking food truck. There was a yummy-looking chop I thought was pork, though their menu only listed lamb chops. A mystery. We were both stuffed and sadly unable to sample the goods. Next time, next time....
