Lili’s Noodle Shop & Grill (CLOSED)

Sleek looks, glamorous cocktails and a cute, turbo-charged waitstaff set Lili’s apart from the rest of the noodle-shop bunch. You can slurp big bowls of noodles here, but what really beckon are oversize platters of seafood, like grilled-shrimp kebabs with Lili’s “special sauce,” or Cantonese-style lobster cooked with scallions and ginger. The delicious Lion’s Head—a plate of enormous beef meatballs served on a bed of sweet bok choy—will provide you with a week’s worth of tasty leftovers.
