Jamie FeldmarWe pay very close attention to the noodle beat here at Gothamist, so when the outer borough dining enthusiasts on Chowhound started raving about Uncle Zhou, a new Henanese noodle joint in Elmhurst a few months back, we perked right up. When Times caught wind of the tiny shop, shortly thereafter, we figured the cat was out of the bag. But a recent trip to Queens to sample the restaurant's marquee noodles—knife-cut and hand-drawn chief among them—we discovered that Uncle Zhou is still as friendly, cheap (dinner for six came to $55!), and delectable as ever. Here's a look at some highlights.
