|  WHAT TO EAT |  | Noodle Shop — Enormous Plates of Homestyle Goodness. Located on the outskirts of downtown San Mateo, California, this hidden gem is one of the best places on the Peninsula to get authentic Chinese food, and in truly gigantic portions. Don’t let the name of the restaurant fool you: Try the noodles, but please promise you’ll also try everything else. Classics like Xiao Long Bao, green onion pancakes and lettuce cups are to die for.
If you want to try something a little more off the beaten path, order the pig’s ear in chili, which will change your life. But if you don’t make it there until a blustery day, go with the spicy beef stew noodle soup, a savory and soul-warming broth that will leave you perfectly satisfied. Or just go with a huge group of friends so you can order, well, everything. |  |
