Noodles You'll Love At Shan Xi Magic Kitchen

At the end of March I went with my Convoy lunch brigade to Shan Xi Magic Kitchen for some outstanding noodles, among other great dishes.  We try to visit a different Asian cuisine each month, and this visit was to a Chinese noodle shop.  It was delicious.

It's located at 4344 Convoy Street, in a nice, clean strip mall.  Our waiter spoke no English, so we needed the hostess to help us order.  She made suggestions, and we were so happy with what we got.  Our favorite dish was Bin Bin noodles.  It was a vegetarian dish of hand made ripped noodles, about 1 inch wide, with a delicious broth with bean sprouts on the bottom, and topped with fresh chopped garlic.  It was delicious.  Another one of our favorite dishes was eggplant, peppers and potatoes.  Fantastic.  We had another dish that was a soup with (again) wide hand made noodles, beef and vegetables.  Delicious, deep flavored broth made this a winner.  Finally, we had dumplings filled with pork and cabbage.  They were good too, but the other dishes were outstanding.

For $12 a piece, including tax, tip and drink, this was quite a bargain.  At any price it was a winner, and the two hours of conversation was priceless.  I will be back sometime soon to try some of the many other dishes, that were so enticing.
