Meet Maxi Lau. She’s the owner of Maxi’s Noodle, a small but mighty noodle soup shop in Flushing, Queens. Opening a wonton restaurant was initially her mother’s dream, but a serious cancer diagnosis derailed those plans. After her mother died, Maxi decided to rebuild her own life. Leaving her job in corporate management, she retraced her mother’s steps, learning to make wontons with a family friend in Canada. Three years later, Maxi’s Noodle was up and running. “Anything to do with my shop, it reminds me of mom,” she says. “The shop equals mom.”
