“And yet, with all that said, Maxi’s is *still* head and shoulders above everyone else in NYC for HK wonton noodle soup.”

“The wontons ARE pretty big and it takes me 3 bites to eat them. They are good, very meaty and filled with lots of shrimp. The broth is tasty too.”

H3
“Maxi aggressively started telling me with hand gestures and all they do is separate it. Isn't that what I was asking for? Completely unnecessary and unprofessional.”

“The wonton soup is just meh, advertised as shrimp and pork and only had shrimp. The noodles tasted “soapy” as if there was too much baking soda.”
