Chinatown Series: Little Village Noodle House (Take Two)

We've already done a review on this restaurant, but since we enjoy it so much we decided to stop by again last night. Just a quick overview of the food this time. Everything else remained the same! See our previous review for the additional info.


Food:

• Lettuce Wrap: We tried to order a half-order, but unfortunately it's not allowed. We ended up getting 8 pieces of iceberg lettuce with a plate of filling (mostly meat, shiitake and other chopped up veggies) and plum sauce. The crispiness of the lettuce went well with the warm, salty filling.
• Lamb Stew Hot Pot: This was the surprise of the night. So delicious! Definitely one of our new favorites. The portion of lamb was quite generous and the meat itself was so tender that it fell of the bone. The broth was heavenly, rich with flavor. The vegetables, won bok, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and shiitake mushrooms, complemented the dish very nicely.
• Tofu w/Bamboo Fungus: Our favorite dish. We keep coming back to it every time. So good!
• Egg Fu Yong: For newbies, this dish is a good way to transition into eating Chinese food. Basically a large omelette with vegetables. Pretty good.

We're never disappointed with Little Village. Every experience is a positive one. No MSG, high-quality ingredients, dishes prepared with a skilled hand...absolutely nothing but praise for this wonderful restaurant!
