"Char siu at Noodletown is brushed with honey during the final glazing, giving it a sweetness that cuts through the pork fat. The skin crack is audible across the room."

"Roast Pork on Rice at Great NY Noodletown — the pork is roasted with a five-spice glaze until the skin blisters and the meat is tender, sliced and placed over steamed rice with a drizzle of soy and chilli oil. Served with a side of soup."
