A highly recommended choice at Chengdu 23 in Wayne, New Jersey, is the Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup, often referred to as the restaurant's stalwart "Big Bowl" noodle soup. This hearty dish features meaty beef brisket that is marinated for at least 10 hours until tender, served in a homemade beef broth with thick white noodles and a generous amount of spices. On the menu, it is marked with two hot peppers to indicate a medium level of spiciness. Other notable noodle options include the classic Dan Dan Noodles and Chengdu Cold Noodles, which are frequently highlighted by diners and critics alike.
