The Best Chinese Food in New York (With No Chinese Necessary)

The hand-pulled noodles on the left are from Cafe Kashkarin Brooklyn.

It's one of the few places outside of mainland China where it's possible to get genuine lagman (拉面 in Chinese).

I should clarify that the stir-fried noodles above are half-eaten, which is why it looks a little skimpy. To me, it tasted just like the 炒面 I got in the little noodle shops I ate in throughout China.

As much as I'd like the picture to be the story here, the only way to really get the story is to find your way out to 1141 Brighton Beach Boulevard. It takes forever to get there from Manhattan, but it's well worth the trek. (It's not quite as far as China, after all.)
