NYC noodle shop named best Chinese restaurant in the US for 2024: ‘I just want to scream right now’

Tasteful noods only.
NYC is at the tip of the chopstick when it comes to Chinese food in the United States, according to Yelp.
The popular review site ranked Queens eatery Maxi’s Noodle number one on a new Top 100 Chinese Restaurants list — thrilling the proprietor, who swapped a corporate job for the rigors of restaurateur-ing.
“I just want to scream right now,” Maxi Lau-O’Keefe, 35, told The Post upon learning that her seemingly modest munchery had come out on top.
Currently with two Flushing locations, the casual canteen is known for its oversized wontons.
“Wontons are different at my store because they are supersized — traditional Hong Kong or Cantonese wontons, they are bite-sized,” Lau-O’Keefe, who quit an HR job at Home Depot to feed foodies full time, said.
