U.E. Chinese

Much has been made of the obscure location,and finding it (down a dark alley) is quite an adventure. Throw in a rather subterranean dining room (no windows) and minimal English language in use and it does feel a bit like a foodie rabbit hole. The teeny menu is all about egg noodles in fantastically complex,homemade clear soup. It comes in a few guises with wonton,beef brisket,pork hock and pork stomach among the options. The duck is the pick;a whole Maryland,marinated in spices then cooked until chopstick tender,floats in a huge bowl surrounded by bok choy and noodles with a side plate of sprouts and chrysanthemum leaves.
