BRIAN'S 100 Best '19

100 BEST ’19: CURRY FISH BALL at YI JI SHI MO NOODLE CORP.

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2019…

Cantonese rice rolls have become somewhat of a recent craze in the NYC food scene. And they are really good and interesting. But what doesn’t get as much press are the curry fish balls that are often served inside or on the side. The ones at Yi Ji Shi Moo Noodle Corp. are tender, toothsome, and burst with subtle curry flavor. I know for some these may sound a bit bizarre but after your first bite, you’ll be hooked. Price: $2.50
