Have the cold noodles once a week. Honestly my favorite restaurant in Murray hill area. Great value. Great staff
I actually liked it. My first time here. We love tasting different restaurants and this one was satisfying. My chinese friend has already eaten here and wanted me to try. I surely liked it. Really authentic and tasted different and good. The only issue is the space. If u have to eat in, you need to be early . True value for money too. Overall a good eat.
I am a regular here and I love the taste of their food. Plus, the price is great and the service is fast, so it’s both convenient and satisfying. If you love all things spicy, this is the place. My recommendation are the beef tripes, beef cold noodle, mapo tofu noodle, and chicken on chilly oil. You will come back for more.
Authentic Chinese/Taiwanese beef soup noodle bar. Dining area is extremely compact. 10 people max and table sharing is just common thing here. They recently hired a new waitress who can speak English.
This is truly amazing food!We stopped by on a whim and ended up coming back the next day.We had beef noodle soup, mopo tofu noodle, cold sesame noodle, cold spicy chicken noodle and spicy chili oil wonton so far. Had to stop ourselves from getting more items.All dishes were authentic. This is the real deal, not Americanized.If you value great food and dont mind the cozy seating, this will be your new favorite spot.Already thinking what Ill have next time.
A real gem for inexpensive eats. I really enjoyed the food and flavors of all the dishes.
My comfort foodI’m a korean nyc college studentWho loves Chinese foodI always come here when I feel down/happyBecause their food makes me happierI hope this restaurant lasts forever100% recommendedEspecially to home sick Chinese students
One of my new favorite spots for beef noodles in NYC! Sooo good and authentic. The wontons are absolutely incredible and made fresh in house. I could eat a million of them. Highly recommend anything on the menu. Amazing husband and wife duo. Definitely a neighborhood gem you must try! You’ll be a regular soon after 😊
Ordered Hot & Spicy Tofu with Rice Noodles as I am a Vegetarian & loved every bite of it. If you are looking for a pocket friendly place to eat & if you enjoy spicy food, then this is the go-to place. Loved loved loved it❤️
My favorite restaurant in the city, I usually come here almost every week after work even though I live in hells kitchen! The pork feet and rice noodle are great!
I ate here for the first time today and had a great experience! I really appreciated the fact the menu was small. It made it much easier for me to decide what to order. I ordered the wontons in chili oil and they were great. I meant to order the cucumber dish but due to somemiscommunication I got the braised trotter. let me tell you something, this mistake made my day! I normally would not have eaten braised trotter on my own but I will now. Overall, this was a great experience and I hope to return soon to try a few more dishes.
Dont let the exterior fool you - BEST MEAL I HAD THIS MONTH
Undoubtedly the best fried rice I’ve ever had. And my friend’s vegetable noodle soup was fresh, rich, and tasty. Something that takes skill to do with vegetable based broths! Very small and unpretentious from the outside but upon entering I was greeted by a lovely couple taking orders and chopping fresh vegetables within sight from their little kitchen. Great food, very affordable prices and the taste of authentic, culturally diverse cuisine. Exactly what one wishes to find when coming to New York City.
Burp Bowl is closed!??The sign says by order of NYC health commissioner. Have been eating here for years with no issues, what happened?
Love spicy beef noodle soup here!
Worth it! Chili oil is good for the soul
An amazing, truly authentic Chinese rice noodle place. I always reserve a soft spot in my heart for Burp Bowl Cafe, and the joy and comfort it brings to me are much more outlasting than those from fancy fine dining restaurants. Even after I moved to downtown, where Burp Bowl is out of the delivery radius, I would take a 20 min subway here just to taste those savory rice noodle dishes.Must try: Spicy chicken rice noodle with soup, wonton, chicken with chili sauce, bitter melon salad
What a lovely and authentic hole in the wall! Loved their beef noodle soup, get it with spice if that’s your thing. Great owner and fast service, definitely recommend!!
Honestly, it’s the best Chinese beef noodle restaurant I ever tried in Manhattan
Best street food of China in NYC. Delicious and a little spicy.
Dont let the humble exterior fool you - Burp Bowl Cafe has dynamite food at an amazing price. The cold chicken noodles are amazing on a hot summer day. Enjoy!
Love this place!!! Discovered it by accident and me and my wife get our lunch from this place at least once a week.. Beef noodles are simply delicious!!!!
I eat here twice a week. The spicy beef soup of absolutely delicious
Very very authentic and cheap Chinese food!!! So good I went two days in a row
I came here for dinner one night and ordered the spicy beef noodle soup. The noodles themselves were great, but I thought the meat was a bit lacking. There was also a lot of oil, which I guess is expected since spicy oil has, well, oil. The flavor was bold and strong, but I thought it might have had MSG since I was quite thirsty afterward. Portions were acceptable for the price; it was about $9 post-tax. I might come by if Im around the area again - honestly, Id give it 3.5 stars, but the cleanliness is a bit lacking and the staff arent the friendliest so I hesitate giving it 4 stars.
The noodle soup was very delicious and I am for sure it is 100% authentic. The sitting area is very limited and the cleanness could need more improvement.
Cheap, fast, greasy food. Counter service, barely 10 seats in the place. Noodle soups are good and filling. If you want spicy, be prepared to sweat, theres no going back from it. Start light and work your way up. Overall, good quality for the price, if only the place was a little cleaner.
Tasty, no fuss, affordable Chinese food. The restaurant is a very small hole-in-the wall spot, so take it to go. Its amazing theyve fit a kitchen in here! The spicy cold noodles with chicken were flavorful and not too spicy. The scallion pancakes are not to be missed.
I stumbled upon this place one day while walking home from work and I stopped in not expecting much. The place was small and there is only one man working but the pictures looked pretty appetizing. I come here around at least once a week to get more food. Its cheap, tasty, and fast! I love the buns and would suggest the beef or chicken!Definitely would recommend and dont judge this place until you taste! This isnt a place that you can easily sit down it. It really is a more of a take away type of thing. Not sure if they deliver but its not a far walk from me so I dont mind going to get it. Its close to Baruch so Im certain its a favorite for students in between classes.This place has great prices so if youre looking for a good deal this place is the way to go!
Amazing Guizhou style noodles! You’re not going to find food like this just anywhere. Get the spicy chicken noodle soup. As of July 3rd it’s open for takeout. Its a small family owned business that has to close down for a few months but is open for takeout and needs customers. Be sure to give it a chance. My favorite Asian restaurant in the city.
The best Guizhou food in NYC ! Authentic Chinese street noodles, def a must try
Absolutely awesome. I had the pork intestine soup, which was great, my girlfriend had the beef tripe soup, which was also very good. The guy who works in there is also very nice. 11/10. Would eat again.
I enjoyed it. Simple menu, moderately priced. I got beef and dry noodles. Made fresh, it Was delicious. Sorta wish there was more food in the bowl though, guess I’m a bigger eater than I thought.
The beef noodle here is my favorite spicy noodle in NYC even including Flashing. The spice was really good and I love it so much. The owner was great, he’s kind and always willing to chat to you about anything. I would visit very frequently if live nearby.
Super authentic Southern China rice noddle place. As of now delivery and takeout only. Family-run restaurant hit hard by Covid—worth supporting them if you can or just wanna eat some authentic Chinese soup noodles
Been going to this place almost on a biweekly basis pre pandemic. Look no further if you want that authentic southern Chinese rice noodles experience.Two provinces in China famously known for their rice noodles; Yunnan and Guizhou. The owner is definitely from one of them.
Ate there twice in one weekend. A+
Best beef noodle soups in Manhattan.
Great authentic taste! Unpretentious and affordable. It’d have been perfect if they had separated the soup from the noodles when delivering—noodles were a bit soggy.
I have been looking for sesamecold noodles that tastes like noodles you would eat in Asia. Finally found it! The sauce was delicious, noodles cooked just right and portion was huge. It was a memorable noodle experience at a great price!
Delicious food with reasonable price! This place has limited seats but people finish their meals quickly. Authentic Chinese food for sure. Staffs are friendly. They take both card and cash. I will definitely revisit often.
I am a vegetarian and just happened to walk in this little whole in the wall restaurant and I am so glad I did. I had the vegetable noodle bowl DELICIOUS. I will tell everyone to come here for authentic Chinese food. The broth was so flavorful oh my God. I want more. I am a picky eater and I am truly in love. Thank you for your hospitality. See you real soon.
Very tasty Chinese comfort food. Reminded me home cook for sure!
We ordered beef noodle soup, intestine noodle soup and spicy pig feet.The portion of meet and intestine wad too small. Pig feet was also rather snack than a meal.The taste was neither bad, nor especially good.
Wonderful wontons & noodles, Im sure the rest of the menu is fantastic as well! This tiny spot has a ton of character, service was endearing in a grumpy old folks kind of way but with traces of humor (unsurprising given this places name I suppose) and not rude in the slightest! They obviously have a lot of devoted regulars, which is totally well deserved and gladdening- I want this cafe to stay open forever!
5 Star! Go here for a warm bowl of soup plus noodles on a cold or rainy day and you are sure to come back smiling. They offer various non-vegeterian options and 1 vegeterian option. It is a small kitchen and the flavours are authentic. Vegetables are fresh and have a crunch to them.I would recommend this place and visit soon.
Delicious beef noodle soup. Excellent wontons in chili oil
Got their Spicey Chicken Rice... There was not a single thing good about this place nor food. Place is very dirty. Rice i ordered was disgusting. The guy literally warmed up the rice in microwave. Chicken looked old and dark. People rave about their soup, I didnt try it, so i wont say anything about it, but overall, STAY AWAY!!!
Really fantastic chinese noodle soup at great prices! The meat is well cooked, broth well flavored, noodles perfect. Just bring your own spoon cuz those plastic ones dont cut it
Mr. Luo (or Burp Bowl Cafe. Still using the same name from previous restaurant) is the only place you can get truly authentic Chinese noodle and homemade style wontan soup in this area. Just opened two month ago. Its totally different than regular Chinese restaurants. Spicy but not hot. Non or maybe less MSG. Broth is made by boiling chicken, pork, and beef bones. Awesome quality in low price. If they had better interior design, I would definitely pay $5 more for each dish.My coworker and I found this awesome place last month. Then we go there 2-3 times a week. Highly recommend their Lamb Rice Noodle Soup (no strange smell!), Szechuan Style Cold Noodles with Sesame Sauce, and Wonton in Red Chili Oil!!
Best place. The food is authentic and made with care. It’s tucked away in Murray Hill but deserves to be visited more often! Check it out :)
At the moment you come to that restaurant the personel give you a great feeling. Very warm stuff, it is a friendly place to pass time with buddies or with your date. Great meals, experienced chef de cuisine, good price and attentive service. Warmly recommended.
Got the spicy beef and noodle and Im obsessed! The price was right, quick and a good, tasty portion.It does sound like the lamb noodle is their specialty though
Very small but authentic place.Really like the beef rice noodles.
Very authentic and delicious food! Best rice noodle in town. And dont miss the fried rice. The owner and staffs are friendly and helpful. Highl recommend this place
My food wasnt ready after 30 minutes. They are lacking professionalism. Finally when I was picking up some tissues and one pair of chop sticks, they were not happy about it. They were talking behind me saying my friend, why are you talking these for. I mean if those are not for customers, keep it behind the register. Really disappointed.
An affordable but tasty place in the area! You dont need to spend tons of money to have an authentic Chinese noodle soup!
$7.99 for a bowl of delicious Beef Noddle Soup. Safety rating B, likely for Beef. Delicious, well priced, and very quick. Primarily for takeout, but there are about 8 seats for a quick meal.
Small restaurant with limited seats specializing in authentic rice noodles. Its a great place for inexpensive lunches. Plus, staff always treat customers nicely.
Great authentic Chinese noodle shop but owner speaks little English. Dont get frustrated with them. But great food. I recommend this place.
4.5 Overall. Love the wonton in chilly oil, although i wish its alittle spicer. Got the spicy beef noodle soup, the beef was very tender, soup is on the lighter side. Hole in the wall place. Will come back to try more dishes.
The sesame noodles are amazing and a must have. The higher concentration of cucumber give them a fresh crisp flavor that blends so well with the sesame sweetness.
Great food. But they refused to give me my meal pal.
Great place great food love the family that works there, they really love cooking for their customers and are completely genuine people. I support this buisiness and I highly recommend it.
Come here about once a week. Very yummy, and fast service! Always see people sitting inside. Their spicy tofu is amazing!
The most authentic Sichuan street noodle shop I’ve had on the east coast!
Very good, although Im no expert on this type of food, I can say with confidence that the Mapo Tofu I had here was incredible
I come here at least once a week ever since I have discovered the place. It remains me of specialized shops in China. Simple and great delicious food.
Great cheap chinese street food
Did not see any sushi on the menu, but this ma & pa shop sure puts out some delicious, spicy dishes.
Everything Ive tried here is absolutely delicious. Their beef noodle soup is the best Ive found in nyc
Hands down best noodles place in the City. Very authentic and affordable.
This is a rare find. Very authentic southern Chinese (GuiZhou) rice noodle soup.
Best noodles and wontons IN THE CITY. Go now, and be content forever. They also need your support.
Very limited menu, which is usually fine, but I couldn’t figure out what they had compared to their on hand menu and the menu online. Food was not that good, not even enough in the bowl.
Great Guizhou cuisine
Excellent place to get Chinatown food at Murray Hill. Excellent spicy chicken fried rice with fresh ingredients.
Good Chinese restaurant with reasonable price.. it has nice soups there,which are tasty and spicy(if u r into spicy food)
Most authentic Guizhou (Southwest China) rice noodle soup in New York City. Delicious!!!
Fantastic mom and pop restaurant, great fresh noodle soups with amazing spices.
Great cheap and tasty noodles! They have other interesting dishes as well
This is some of the most authentic, quick, and cheap Chinese eats Ive found in all of Manhattan.
I eat the noodle from they more than two years,and I still went there often,its really good
The food is good but the amount of meat they give is low. But for a cheap price its a good place to check out.
Best and most authentic mifen(米粉) in NYC. Ive been looking for it all the time! Come here on a weekly basis now. :-))
Outstanding. Delicious. Perfect regional short menu. Quick service. What else is there to need?
Great place for real Chinese noodle! No complaints! Go there once a week!
Great food. The owner The stois very particular about the flavor of the food and the choice of ingredients
For this price it is really good, I went to a different place the other day and it was both cheaper and tastier :)
One of the best Guizhou restaurants in town. Very classic Chinese food with awesome Guizhou flavor
Great rice noodles and broth, nice appetizers as well at very reasonable prices
The beef noodle was good, but, WAY TOO MUCH MSG used in the soup‼
More like a take-out counter with a limited menu than a restaurant but the noodles are fantastic
Tasty and quality beef noodles. Would also recommend the beef tripe.
Food is great at affordable pricing, atmosphere is a bit aged.
Delicious if youre craving delicious wonton soup or a genuine beef noodle soup.
One of the best Chinese noodles place I have been to outside China
The food is so fresh I love eating here and its not expensive...
Good price for ramen and good quality. I always get the vegetable ramen with tofu.

Delicious fast lunch.
Affordable and good.
Freaking amazing place!
Really good！
Incredible.
So delicious!!!
Amazing taste
Love Love Love
So good. Simple and delicious.
Very small storefront, but said to be very authentic. But the summer is too hot, so I only ordered cold noodles with sesame sauce and chicken with saliva. The cold noodles with sesame sauce was not bad. It is estimated that due to inflation, the price has also increased. Occasionally passing by can go to eat, but it is not worth visiting.
Its so delicious. Its cheap. Its the first meal Ive had in New York. I dont know what it is, but its so delicious. I ate spicy chicken noodle, but its spicy and tastes like it will keep me thinkingeveryone should try spicy chicken noodle here
Delicious Guizhou rice noodles👍very tasty Chinese rice noodles.
Lao Luo, my dream lover! His rice noodles are super authentic, delicious and not overturned
Authentic spicy noodles bowls, Mandarin only speaking staff but very nice. (Use Google translate) A bit overpriced for the same menu in Chinatown. But, so convenient for Midtown east. Small space with few chairs and table. 6 train a block away on Park. An authentic spicy noodle bowl that only speaks Mandarin, but the staff is good, but the same menu in Chinatown is a bit expensive. However, it is very convenient for the Midtown in the east. Small space with few chairs and tables. 6 Train one block in the park.
I have eaten it 10,000 times, and there is no problem. It is very delicious. It is completely trustworthy. Several friends from other states come to eat Lao Luo first every time they come to New York.
As far as New York is concerned, the taste of Southwestern cuisine is quite authentic. Homesick people can come here to get comfort
Super delicious, very authentic taste.
The environment is very bad, I feel that the food is not very clean, and the taste of the noodles is not as good as the online reviews.
Fat intestines are very deliciouspork intestine noodles-so good
LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! Love this store! Authentic Guilin rice noodles
The most recommended Chinese food for Japanese people in New York! By all means!

Review №1
2022-07-23Burp bowl is amazing. The service is quick and efficient, I felt like I was in and out in 5 min. The beef noodle soup taste very authentic and flavorful. They also know what it means to make something spicy which I truly enjoyed.
Review №2
2022-04-23Burp bowl is amazing, what a great find. It’s a small tucked away place that makes the most delicious, warming and addicting noodle soups. Burp Bowl is simple straight-up good cooking, with a small but carefully chosen menu that hits the spot. Perfect for a quick eat or grab-and-go.I will definitely be going back. Again, and again, and again.
Review №3
2022-03-25This place is legit. I got the mapo tofu. Thats the first thing I always get at a Chinese noodle place to see if I like it. Ive spent a lot of time in China and Im always looking for new places. I was playing at the cutting room and looked for a place for dinner before the show. I was surprised to find this place in the neighborhood. An odd place for a real Chinese place. I was blown away. Spicy. Numbing. Great flavor. Next time Im in the area Ill definitely go back.
Review №4
2022-03-30Omg, the food was amazing here! I had the intestine rice noodle soup, and my bf got the spicy chicken fried rice! And we got the pork dumplings in chili oil to share. It was all so good! I havent had good food like that in a while. Its a small, cute little home cooked spot with minimal seating, so just be aware of that! But no complaints here. Its definitely worth a try!
Review №5
2021-12-21My husband and I’ve been visiting this place for years, even after we move out of the town. This is a small but warm place. The noodles taste amazing and really authentic. It makes me thinking about home…
Review №6
2021-11-27Authentic quick eats and super tasty!**price increased on 11/18**beef noodle soup is now $11.99, still worth every bites!
Review №7
2022-05-09They have the best tripe in chili oil! So flavorful and tingly. I constantly crave it, so we order here often. Other items on the menu are great as well. Just be careful with your spice level on the noodle soups because it can be very numbing. However, I would stick to ordering takeaway from here because the place is such a hole in the wall and cleanliness is questionable. But then again, most good food comes from places such as this.
Review №8
2022-04-26This is one of the best bowl of beef noodle soup you will get in NYC. A mom and pop shop that’s been around for a while and continues to deliver quality, delicious meals.I’ve had almost their entire menu and the beef noodle soup, spicy chicken cold noodles, and chili wontons are what I consistently get in rotation.Very flavorful, full of spices, and tender, melt in your mouth meat.
Review №9
2020-10-22This hole in the wall authentic spicy beef noodle soup shop is the best in the city. A true hind den gem for genuine home Pa Pa cooking.It is a small yet mighty shop. There were only three tables before Covid. Now, there is only one table for outdoor dining and dose mainly takeouts.However, the spicy beef noodle soup is worthy the troubles. And the dumplings in red chili oil are smooth, meaty, and have a nice kick.Not a fancy place but absolutely fabulous.

2020-02-18Very authentic, no frills spot for Chinese food. Very homey space with great flavors! 10/10, would recommend if youre looking for simple good eats. If youre looking for fine dining or fancy decor this wont be the spot for you. The people here are nice but speak limited English. Portions are decent and the pricing is very fair
