Liu Ji Sichuan Noodle House

This Eldridge Street spot expands on its noodle bowls with a menu of classic Sichuan dishes. Alongside the soup options, the boiled pork dumplings stand out as a highlight. The kitchen prepares a variety of Szechuan-inspired dishes, including Dan Dan noodles tossed in a fragrant spicy sauce, beef fried rice, and hearty bowls of pork intestine or spare rib noodle soup. While the portions are large and budget-friendly, the kitchen's signature chili oil can overwhelm the broth of the lamb noodle soup. Service is fast and the setting is kept clean.
