Marshall St. Clair: Expensive but everything was great. Dan Dan noodles, moo shy pork, cold noodles with sesame, vermicelli noodles w pork. Shrimp Mei fun
Lori Luo: Slightly pricey Chinese food in the Rockefeller area. The Sichuan dishes are the best on the menu, so be sure to try the Braised Beef with Napa, the Dan Dan noodles, and the Ma Po Tofu.

Graylyn Roose: The Liang Pi cold noodles are awesome, and you can't miss the lamb cumin burger. This place is usually packed, so you may have to stand at the counter to eat! Worth it.
Coren: Authentic yet hip, great flavors, great prices.
The Wall Street Journal: Try the delicious pork burger, "spicy and tingly" beef noodle soup or Liang Pi cold-skin noodles, made from wheat flour. Read more.
