J's Snack House

Located in the Richland Center food court in Chinatown, J's Snack Shop is one of the best reasons to eat in a basement. And that’s because this food stall's potato noodle soup is fantastic. The spicy broth is savory with lots of flavor from the different ingredients floating around—vegetables, tofu, fish balls, and quail eggs. But it's the thick and squishy potato noodles that really ties everything together.
