No, there's apparently no Joe. But yes, there are plenty of noodles in just about every size, shape and texture. And the fare is basically Szechuanese, authentically so, with hot here ranging from hot and spicy designated with one chili to ...?

in suburban Maryland. With a very broad menu, and exquisite execution of traditional Chengdu favorites, this is the place to go if you crave the hot and numbing sensations that make Sichuan food famous. The staff are very helpful if you are a newbie, and if ...?

had in the DC area. I particularly liked the Szechwan-style string beans with pork. The chinese greens in garlic sauce were also very good. The dumplings were excellent, but the spring rolls were below average. I would suggest going with a larger group ...?
