Temple of Heaven – Beef Brisket Noodles
Temple of Heaven at the end of Broad Street is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in town. It is kind of tucked away just past the Lord Roberts, and the Newmarket pubs down near the junction with Lower Parliament Street so you just need to keep walking down from Hockley to find it. I…
