Description

New Shine is, in fact, a shiny sort of place--squeaky clean and staffed by young people with cool haircuts. The place touts its Sichuan hot pot and noodle soups on a large menu board, but it also offers Sichuan standards like double-cooked pork, fish in hot chili oil, pork lung in chili sauce, and beef with cumin. Then the menu makes a U-turn into Buffalo wings, french fries, onion rings, and tomato omelet, and ends with a multi-culti flourish--Taiwanese bubble tea, shredded ice with fruit, cider, and ice cream. Noodles with pork and pickle amounts to mix of round, wheat noodles in a brick-orange broth with loads of pickled cabbage, strips of pork, bok choy, and red-skinned peanuts. It's a wonderful, warming lunch.
