METROMIX SAYS: Long before Williamsburg became too — wait for it! — hip for its own good, M Shanghai Bistro was already serving wonderfully elevated Chinese food to a nabe in desperate need of Chinese grub beyond greasy stir-fried takeout. Now, they've opened this opened late-night noodle bar a few blocks down, offering a variety of noodle bowls ($7-$8), pan-fried noodle dishes ($7-$8) and appetizers ($4-$6). Six noodles are available—spinach, pulled, wonton, etc.—which can be mix-matched in dishes like sliced pork belly soup (the broths that take up to 24 hours to prep) or crispy double-pan-fried noodles with meat or veggies. The place's counter-style seating can squeeze in about 26, and a patio area out back is in the works come warmer months. The clincher: They're also open until 6 a.m. Munchies!
