Taijiang Snackies

It is a tiny place but easy to find.
I ordered the noodles (ban mian) and wonton soup. Both are great and I love the noodles. For a total of $ 5, it is such a great deal! Highly recommend!

Dingy, small, almost no English spoken. Tiny menu. The food is good and dirt cheap. Reminds me of hole-​in-​the-​wall restos in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Love it.

This is the smallest, dingiest restaurant I know of in Chinatown. ( Unilocal demands a phone number. Do they have a phone? I’m not sure they do.) But this restaurant, which seats about twelve people, does a brisk lunch business because the food is delicious and the food is cheap. And I do like the atmosphere, because it reminds me of eating in China.
The menu has only about twelve items, which I consider a plus. The duck noodle soup is well-​seasoned, much more interesting than Chinese noodle soup often is, full of fat, filling and richly satisfying. But the standout dish is the fried dumplings. You get five big dumplings for $ 3.50, smoking hot, full of pork and greens.
Not much English is spoken here. In fact they do not have a sign in English. (I tried to put the Chinese name in the review, but Unilocal deleted it.) But it translates approximately as «Taijiang Snackies», and as the first reviewer, I hereby declare that that is its English name.
Addendum 2015-​06-​08: I went in today and got Chow Lan Fun ($ 6) which I did not like: limp spaghetti with some Chinese cabbage, fried egg, and bits of meat. But I also got the fried dumplings for $ 3, which were terrific, and enough for a full meal by themselves.
