Best Sesame Noodle in Chinatown?

[lightstays]

I'm looking for the version NOT made with vermicelli noodles, rather the wheat-based ones. Sesame paste should be gooey and it should be served flaming hot, perhaps with baby shrimp mixed in.

Although originally from northern China, sesame paste/sesame seed is now found throughout China. The Fujianese have a sesame noodle dish which is traditionally served at wedding banquets. I think Eastern Hand-Pulled Noodles may have such a dish. Strange Taste will try to make it for you as you like but their English is more limited.

Thanks for the clarification. There's no Fujianese food to speak of in California, so one has to go to Sichuan, Korean or Beijing style restaurants out here.

I kind of struck out at Eastern Hand-Pulled. Got egg noodles with a kind of runny peanut sauce. any suggestions of place in Flushing?

So, no cold noodles? Baby shrimp? I don't think I've ever had noodles with both sesame paste and baby shrimp. Where have you had those?

Temple Garden in Madison, WI. They were easily the best Asian noodle dish I have ever had. Haven't seen them since, except with vermicelli noodles, but surely they must exist somewhere in Chinatown...

But don't forget that Chinatown is mostly Cantonese and Fujianese, while sesame paste noodle is out of northern China. Strange Taste Cuisine does have a sesame noodle dish, but I'm guessing it's not what you're looking for. You might have better luck looking in Flushing.
