REVIEWS:

Noodles so long I could stand and eat… If you’re a fan of Asian comic books you know there is always one character in the story who is fat and loves to eat ramen. Whether its instant or homemade this round oval shaped face character with snot coming out of his nose like a faucet, is me at Food Sing 88 Corp. Drooling while eating my hand pulled noodles, I was daydreaming about my next meal while eating. Food Sing 88 Corp has been in the works for some time now, previously a small little hole in the wall has now blossomed into a clean and fairly fresh eatery. The old Food Sing 88 was only 8 seater mostly catered toward young Chinese Fukienese kids looking for some fast grub, is now more spacious and more accommodating toward Westerners- they put in an English menu. The Seafood Hand Pulled Noodles is what I got for $6.50, my bowl of soup came out hot and steamy with shrimp, clams, fish balls, squid, greens and of course the hand-pulled noodles. Once I slurped the base of the soup I knew there were some meat flavor in it, so if you’re not a meat eater I highly doubt that it’s all seafood base. Fortunately for me I love the mixture of meat-based stocks with seafood. The base was a sodium goodness with beef flavor with hint of fresh clam juice and a aftertaste of msg, I know some are not fan of msg but it’s just not ramen with out it. The noodle was so chewy and bouncy I could have pulled it all the way home w/out breaking it. Kenneth got the Beef Hand Pulled Noodle Soup $4.50 that was also scrumptious. The broth is beefy strong and very flavorful, again if you are allergic to msg be careful. I will say this is my favorite among all the same hand pull noodles places in Chinatown. Friendly staff, very clean interior and good quality bowl of pleasure, what more can you ask for for $4.50?
