While many people visit for the dao xiao mian (knife-cut noodles), my favorite thing here is the cat ears ($5.75). Don't gasp. I'm talking about Chinese orecchiette stir-fried with scrambled egg and pork.
Small bowls of dao xiao mian (in beef, lamb, and seafood versions) cost $4.75. Large bowls are $5.95. I find that the small bowls are more than enough, even to share.
Avoid all non-noodle, non-bun, non-pancake, non-dumpling entrees here (e.g., the last two photos above). They are damn close to being terrible.
When you go to JTYH, just dough it.
I love their mu shu cat ears! I once brought my non-Asian-food-savvy coworker a copy of their menu (back when it was Heavy Noodling) and showed her the "cat ear" dish. She thought it was for real & almost puked. Heh.
ReplyDeleteEven though JT cheated on J Biels, I still think he's hot ;-)
ReplyDeleteI heart the cat ears too!
Man those noodles look tasty right now. I really need to take myself to JTYH soon!
ReplyDeleteYou almost lost me at cat ears.
ReplyDeleteI like you very much, but eating real cat ears would have lost me as well. ;) The dumplings sound so good to me right now!!
ReplyDelete"Just dough it."
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to tell me that twice! Carbs are essential to my existence.
i love their cat ears too! so chewy...also helps that i am a dog person and i chew up cats as snacks.
ReplyDeletejust dough it - oh you and the puns, weemo. looks delicious (except for the last two, of course)!
ReplyDeleteA few other goodies:
ReplyDeletekorean cold noodles (off menu/wall item) $4.99 or $5.99 for a pretty decent bowl of nyeng myun (sp?)
Combination Dry Noodles - my mom used to order this for me whenever I was sick. Still love it today.
LOL @ "just dough it." I love noodles, so I'll have to try this place next time I'm in that neighborhood.
