Joe's Noodle House - View this location on map 'Look past the grubby stripmall exterior--this is some of the best Szechuan cooking in the area. You can look at the menu and the placards with specials on the wall at this hopping Szechuan eatery that takes no reservations and has lines trailing out the door. But the trick is to talk owner-cashier Audrey Jan into revealing what’s marvelous and fresh. You might end up with crunchy green stems of Chinese watercress, a savory hash of pork, bean curd, and Chinese leek stems, calamari with tart pickled peppers and Chinese celery, or the oddly named Triple Delight, really a fiery chili-oil-slicked stew with beef, chicken, or shrimp.' Washingtonian 1488-C Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD Budget, Restaurant
