Master L Rice Noodle LIC

Tried this place recently and it was just alright. The noodles were cooked well and the soup base was decent, but the flavors felt a bit standard. Service was fine and the restaurant was clean.

I've been to MasterL around 5 or 6 times since they opened last year, and I think they're always consistently pretty good. I've had a few of their different 過橋米線 rice noodle dishes and never been disappointed. Noodles are fine, and meats are generally good quality. My favourite is the sliced beef option, and the sauerkraut blackfish 酸菜魚 is also yummy. For the soup choice, I usually get the (original) pork broth, which is savoury and not overly salty. The tomato broth is also quite yummy, I like that it brings out bit of the sweetness of the tomato to complement the other savoury flavours. The other various toppings (? ingredients), though, are generally a bit lacking. The veggies (cabbage, bok choy) are OK don't always taste the freshest. The tofu puffs always feels a bit oily / soggy. The hot dry noodles are also quite delicious options, nice for a warmer day when a large bowl of soup isn't quite what you're looking for. Price point is a bit high for the quality, but it’s not too crazy for the neighbourhood. I think it’s good that there's a decent rice noodle place in the area.

I’m so happy to have Luo Guan Zhong right downstairs in LIC! The food is authentic, flavorful, and comforting. We ordered a bunch of dishes — the beef roujiamo was crispy and juicy, the salt and pepper chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, and the cold appetizer platter (pig ear, mouthwatering chicken, smashed cucumber) was super refreshing and flavorful. The classic and beef crossing-the-bridge rice noodles were hearty and satisfying, with rich broth and generous toppings. We also tried the Vietnamese pho, which was light and aromatic, and the scallion pancake, which was crispy and fragrant. Everything tasted homemade and very fresh. Highly recommend for anyone craving a hearty, delicious meal in LIC!

🍜 Pork Rib Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles Steaming hot broth served separately, with tender pork ribs, tofu skin, wood ear mushrooms, and quail eggs. Mix it all in, and you get silky, chewy noodles in a rich, collagen-packed soup. The pork ribs are so soft they fall right off the bone! 🐮 Spicy Beef Tripe Rice Noodles A must-try for those who love bold flavors! The noodles soak up the flavorful sauce, while the beef tripe is perfectly chewy. Topped with crushed peanuts, corn, and cucumber for extra crunch—every bite is packed with umami goodness. 🍲 Pho Dac Biet Didn’t expect to find great pho here too! The beef broth is light yet flavorful, with silky rice noodles and tender beef slices. Add Thai basil, bean sprouts, and a squeeze of lime for the perfect balance.

these were the best rice noodles I’ve had in NYC— the flavor is so good & reminds me of hot pot. I got the beef rice noodle with all the accoutrements and it was amazing. The beef itself was like hot pot beef, so super fatty, tender, and thin. I loved all the toppings they put in the noodles; it seems like a bit of a waste that they bring it out in all these different bowls, just to mix it for you together. For sides, we got the fried chicken and the sticky rice cakes, and both were excellent. I brought my parents from Sichuan here, and they also loved it. I will definitely come back!
