Authentic HK style food. The HK milk tea was smooth and the braised beef lo mein were delicious. The beef was really soft and flavorful!
Food was delicious. This place gets packed fast . The staff even though it is busy is very detailed and on their jobs . A great spot for a date or a family 👪 outing . I would definitely recommend this spot when you visit Chinatown.
Great dumplings. Even better service. Soup dumplings were delicious and the wonton soup was aa good as the reviews. My favorite place in Chinatown. No ridiculously long lines either
Delicious soup crab and pork dumplings. The soup was less than expected. I saw a lot of people ordering it so thats why I did it but I wish I wouldve ordered something different.
Great spot for delicious slurp-worthy noodles, dumplings, and other Asian goodies. Price is superb too- the one downside is that theyre likely packed and it is quite noisy. During peak hours can take 10-15 minutes to get seated.
Well to start off, The service could’ve been way better. We weren’t given utensils until our food came. We weren’t given water until after we began eating our food. Never had soup dumplings before and searching through the reviews this was supposed to be a really good spot for it. It was ok. The dumplings weren’t really filled with soup. The chicken mei fun was good. I also ordered shrimp rolls that I didn’t want anymore and they said they weren’t going to take it off my bill even though I didn’t even touch it.
Great food for the price. Scallion pancakes were a little greasy for my liking but good nonetheless. Also had lo mein, cant really go wrong with that in Chinatown. Worth the hype if youre in the area but not a place Id go through the hassle of travelling an hour for.
I have been coming here for over 10 years now for soup dumplings. I have tried soup dumplings in many places but I still find the flavor here is consistent and satisfying. It has also become my daughter’s favorite spot for dumplings and congee.
Ive been trying to fill my craving for a proper Cantonese wonton noodle soup, and someone recommended trying out Noodle Village. I made the trek down to Chinatown finally one weeknight, and it was worth it - just dont expect anything fancy!Noodle Village is a no frills restaurant, the kind you could walk into on a random street in Hong Kong, and the food has that authentic flavor. I ordered my beef brisket and wonton noodle soup craving, as well as a HK cold milk tea, and both hit the spot. Will definitely be back to try more of the dishes!
Very solid meal and I would absolutely come back here again!Ordered the pork soup dumplings, scallion pancake, beef noodles, and mixed vegetables. Certainly enough to share between two people.
Overall 5/5: Excellent. We stopped in for a quick bite and it was yummy.Food 5/5: we were on a mission to try xlb all in chinatown. these were solid! they were so yummy we got a few different ones to try and all had great wrapping on them and were filling.Thank you, Noodle Village!
Delicious lunch!! We were a party of three and ordered a bunch of different dishes to share. Everything was so good!We had scallion pancakes as appetizers and the two boys had some noodle soup with wontons as well-so yummie! (Not on the pictured).Will definitely go again!!
One of the best places for clay pot rice, crispy bottom, good toppings l, sweet soy sauce is not too salty, you can taste a bit of scallions flavor in the sauce. Noodle is average. Seats are little tight. I recommend this place for clay pot rice.
$30 for mediocre shiu gow noodles and beef brisket nga bong. As u can see in the picture the brisket was cooked to death dry and falling apart. Nga bong they charged $4 was flash boiled and still tasted sulphuric as it wasnt cleaned properly. Shiu gow stuffed with soggy pork. Only the brooth past the grade. Prince Noodle and Cafe in Flushing way better.
The best soup dumpling i’ve had in NYC. If you’re a fan of thin wrapper this is the perfect place to get your soup dumpling fix!!
Amazing soup dumplings (great value, thin skin) and beef chao fun. Wontons were also excellent with snappy shrimp and a good serving size. Very quick service and great prices!
Very friendly staff and excellent food. Felt clean and welcoming.
Best wonton soup and gyoza Ive ever eaten. Very casual and no nonsense just enjoy the great food.
So good. Get dumplings. Noodles soups and fish cakes. My black egg dumplings and shrimp and watercress dumpling soup was killer. Soup dumplings too. Fish cake yummy. Be calm and eat dumplings.
We loved the noodles and the fried rice. The dumplings were pretty awesome as well. The one thing we didnt like was the braised pork which just tasted like a wad of fat and bones. We would absolutely eat here again but we wouldnt order that pork. the service was friendly and it was the total NY Chinatown experience. The fried rice was probably the best Ive ever had anywhere and I would have enjoyed the noodles more if it werent for the aforementioned pork. Dont order the crullers/doughnuts though. They come dry with nothing to top them with. No frosting, no sugar, nothing to dip them in....just nothing. We left ours sitting on the table.
My favorite spot in Chinatown. Huge menu selection and most dishes are quite good. Highly recommend beef brisket, congee, steam rice roll, Hong Kong style milk tea. The service is decent which is part of the authenticity. LOL.Update 202101: Sadly, this place has deteriorating during the pandemic. I tried several times in the past couple months and it just wasnt that good, 3-4 ⭐ level. I understand its a tough time so I wont change the rating. Truly hope it will eventually recover.
Acquired taste!The shredded ginger is the only thing made this thing taste good!Noodles taste weird.The chicken looked like half of a shredded thigh.I ordered mixed vegetables they gave me Chinese broccoli.Never again!The staff mannerism sucks.The best thing about this place was the utensils.
I ordered a veggie noodle, and I was offered a veggie one plus an on the house pork soup! I don’t eat pork and I felt that the waitress should have been more honest in stating what type of soup it was. Also waitress kept insisting I pay tips! Most of all noodles were that not that special.
Food comes out really fast! It’s quite crowded during the weekends but not as busy during the week
Always end up getting the devilish ramen, so good! Theyve also got the HK steamed rice noodles with mixed sauce. Perfect snack!
Reasonably priced, liked all three things we ordered, quick service. Soup dumplings were delicate, fried tofu was great.
Had this place bookmarked for a long time and we were somewhat underwhelmed. The wonton noodle soup was good but no better than other places we’ve been to. The beef hor fun was on their recommended list and it was bland, and undercooked. There’s no wok hei, the smoky flavor of the wok that’s essential to a hor fun. There were barely 3 pieces of beef. We had to add soy sauce, which I despise doing normally.
Soup dumplings and the pork and shrimp wontons in my wonton noodle soup were really good. The broth in my soup was bland, though. Chow fun had good wok hei but needed more seasoning
On a busy Mott Street with lots of known local restaurants, this restaurant stands out for its noodle and soup selection. One the day we went, it wasnt too crowded. Although the soup dumplings are comparable to some of the other local area restaurants, the braised beef brisket noodle soup stands out. It was delicious. The broth was savory, the meat was tender and the noodles were perfect. Their beef chow fun was also great.... perfectly cooked noodles with beef and veggies that had that hint of smokey goodness. A must try is the clay pot rice, its definitely worth the wait. Would definitely go back to try the other items on the menu.
Amazing soup dumplings (even better than Joe’s Shanghai). The wontons were delicious but next time I’ll order without the noodles. The gai lan is also very good - perfectly tender and slightly crispy.
Went to try this place ordered shrimp wonton, steam Shanghai soup dumplings, braised beef brisket tendon Noodle soup and a steam rice roll w/peanut & hoisin sauce. Dumpling and steam rice rolls were Ok, but the brisket were so bad that I cannot even eat it, I had to left all of them out, but the soup and the noddle were good (include the tendon). Basically it was below average for me; shrimp wonton was just average.We had the shrimp wonton in 5mn then another 20min for the rest to come all at once. Usually dish should come whenever they are ready; its disappointed.The services was pretty slow, waiters were running around doing a lot of thing but seem not able to service people well. I inclided a picture of inside shown there were not many people, outside may have more, but service was slow. I took at least 10min before we were able to order. They need better train their stuffs.Will not come back to try in again. Not worth the effort and price.
I keep forgetting how much I like the food here, a standard Hong Kong eatery with great congee and noodles. I’ve never had a bad meal here.
Even at 9:30 pm, this place was busy. The wonton noodles soup was pretty good, flavorful broth, large wontons. The rice porridge was average, some of the ingredients were not as fresh. The Chinese broccoli was delicious. Service was fine.
Only picked up two items to go...won ton soup and beef chow fun...both were excellent. My first time there.
Our friend took us here for late Sunday lunch. And wow, they just made the best soup dumplings ever! (I definitely love the crab soup dumplings !) Also don’t miss their braised beef tendon over rice. It’s a must!
Good food and clean place. Tight spacing as usual for a Chinatown restaurant and youll probably be sharing a table with a stranger unless youre a group but comfortable enough. Usual politeness from the servers (just be quick to order and know what you want and dont ask too many questions - use Google if you dont know what it is...).
I grew up eating Cantonese food in San Francisco. This was right up my alley. Stand outs were Xian Long Bao - they were exceptionally good (perfect chewiness, not soggy on the bottom and they were pipping hot), the wonton noodle soup and we had a dish with thick rice noodle pieces and beef brisket with curry. Potstickers were fine. I won’t order the scallion pancakes again (deep fried is not my preference and they were too oily) also shao mai was not delicious (but not bad either, just won’t order again). Hope this is helpful. Oh and to everyone complaining about service not being very nice - is this your first time at a Chinese restaurant? Haha!
This place becomes my favorite choice in Chinatown because every thing looks so clean, plus a very tasteful Asian decor ! The Hong Kong style Chinese foods are tasty and inexpensive. I noticed that the restaurants next doors were almost empty while this place is packed!
Soup dumplings were the best I have had so far in nyc. The skin was so thin and soft. My noodles were a bit in the small size although yummy. The Dan Dan mien wasn’t spicy at all, tasted like a tomato sauce and had different kind of noodles. The vegetable dumplings fillings were just okay.
Overall, some of the dishes were awesome enough that I would return. I loved the beef brisket with rice noodles in curry sauce. Also the XLB was decently good. The thin skin made it seem more like dumplings. The clay pot rice with sausage was disappointing. The pictures definitely look much better than it tastes. I thought the rice would be chewy but it was just really hard and dry Jasmine rice that was hard to eat.
I love coming here whenever I come into Chinatown. Their xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are my favorite and I also enjoy their other fried dumplings, scallion pancake, and noodles. My dad says he hasnt had Shrimp wonton soup like this since he was a kid in Hong Kong. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants and was so excited they have made it through COVID so far.Covid update: Theyre very serious about sanitizing things. While I opted for outdoor dining I noticed that diners who went indoors had their shoes sprayed with what I think is sanitizer. They also wipe down the tables after people finish eating and theyre using disposable utensils as well. Everyone is very compliant with wearing their masks properly.
Food was decent, service/atmosphere similar with a lot of other Canto places in Chinatown. I enjoyed my beef tendon lo mein but personally was not impressed by the soup dumplings. Would not come out of my way to eat here.
Great environment, Great noodles&congee, great price! We even got a take away dumpling. $20/person gets you good food.
One of my favorite places to eat in Chinatown. It can be crowded but the wait time isnt too bad since this isnt a place you linger after a meal - you eat quickly, enjoy the delicious offerings, and leave promptly so the next group can come in. Its comfort food done very well and very cheap. The have many types dishes but one of my favorite combination is the congee with crueller and cuttlefish.
Yum! I never considered myself a fan of Chinese food before, but I think this place made me a convert. I had very yummy dumplings, both fried and steamed. So delicate yet so filling! And I have it on good authority by a Chinese-American local that this place is the real deal: authentic Chinese food and one of the best in Chinatown.
So pleased to have found this Hong Kong style wonton noodles restaurant.The wontons with prawns are not only as authentic as those you find in Hong Kong but also with better quality.Squid balls in two colours are so deliciously! Again, I find them even better than the ones I had in Hong Kong.Xiaolungbao are not from Hong Kong but Shanghai, however, these are authentic as well.Forgot to mention beef tripes, absolutely amazing!
Pay in cash to help out and grab the best price. Good soup dumplings, prompt and helpful service. Personally wouldn’t recommend d the rice rolls, but everything our waiter suggested was delicious.
I found this place on Instagram and was drawn to the won ton’s, so I had to give this place a visit whilst I was in NYC during the holidays.I visited on a weekend, and this place was packed! It was a mixture of locals and tourists (like me!). As I was a party of 2, I was sat within 20 minutes. The menu is big, so you will want to try everything.But I stuck to my original plan and ordered the wonton soup noodles (the won ton contains pork and shrimp) and claypot rice with cured pork meat (I squealed with excitement after seeing this as you cannot get claypot rice in London!)Let’s start off with the wonton’s soup noodles. The noodles were the traditional egg noodles, as they have this distinct smell (if you had traditional egg noodles you know what I mean). Noodles were cooked to the point that they were chewy (which is what I like). The broth was good, definitely no MSG added to it. The wonton’s itself, they were delicious. Top half had the shrimp and the bottom part had the pork (which is again what I like).Moving onto the claypot rice. This reminded me of Hong Kong, the cured meat (had three kinds) was so tasty, mixed in with the rice - yum! Really make sure you add soya sauce on top and scrap every last bit of rice! The crispy bits of the rice are the best.If you are visiting NYC and wondering what to eat in Chinatown (as there are a lot of food places), make sure you visit Noodle Village!
Nothing exceptional to be honest. The food was good. I ordered their devilish ramen which had only sea food. I was expecting pork.The place was pretty crowded and people were seated just a feet away from each other. We had to wait for a few minutes before we could get a table. Certainly not a place to take your date😄. Ajisen Ramen right in front of them have amazing ramen for the same price!
Cant believe I never tried this place. Its become my new favorite restaurant in Chinatown!Food is cheap and delicious, minimum service but prompt. Busy but wait is reasonable (about 10 mins during peak lunch hour on a Saturday).Highlight dishes:3 colored wonton with noodle - my favorite dish of all. Shrimp wonton is flavorful with big fresh while shrimp inside. Cilantro pi-dan wonton is an interesting twist and strongly recommend if you like cilantro.Xiao long bao - thin wrap filled with soup inside. Quite legit. And I grew up eating Xiao long bao in Shanghai. If anything to complain, the filling has a bit of pork meaty taste. The balance with cooking wine could have been better.
This place has the best fried cruller I have had in NY. Fluffy and made to order. The soy milk is also a nice complement! Soup dumplings had thin wrappers and were also quite tasty. The shrimp wontons are probably some of the best I have had in Chinatown too. Potstickers - decent! I need to head back for the oxtail curry!
This is the best place to eat. Their soup dumplings are amazing, also tried the steamed and fried buns with condensed milk, and they were just perfect. Their waiters are nice and attentive, plus the price is right.
Unfortunately had a very bad experience. Waited for our food over 40 minutes and the place wasnt even that busy. They probably forgot to put our order in, since the tables that arrived way after us got their full order before us.The dumpling soup was very plain and disappointing. The pork soup dumplings are good and tasty. But after the long wait we got turned off. Also theyre not serving complimentary tea anymore.
Soup dumplings are kinda not great here. Skin is too thin and pretty different from other places in Chinatown that also sell them (Different not in a very good way).Fried rice has nice flavour, not too salty. The staff are pretty nice, they gave a good recommendation for the stirfry noodles. The stirfry was very good. Would definitely go back for rice or noodles but probably for take out.
Noodle village aka 粥麵軒 is an authentic cantonese restaurant, it is always packed with people trying to get a bite. They serve hong kong style milk tea, soy milk, 煲仔飯(Claypot rice),撈麵(lomien), woton noodles, all with the right price. The portion here is satisfying but aren’t huge. It is fine to come by yourself or with a group. They accept credit cards but can’t split the bill with more then one card.
Delicious food and I am Chinese, so I do have experience in the food tasting arena.Friendly staff, clean and quick service. Highly recommended,have been back multiple times in a couple of days while visiting NYC.
I forgot to take pictures but I went because of the good reviews. DON’T do the same because it’s not accurate.Firstly we ordered the pork and shrimp wonton soup with noodles and a dish with noodles, beef slices and scallionsThe food was bland, basically no taste to it the only decent part was the wontons. And the dish with steak had only like 4 small pieces cut in it.My problem was when it came to the payment. I decided not to tip because we didn’t like the food and as said on the receipt “recommended tip” does not mean u have to! The server came twice to force me to leave a tip and was completely rude. When i told her it’s optional and I did not wish to leave one once again she was even ruder and started talking loud and saying that she brought the food and drinks so i need to tip her.There’s this sign that says you get a 3.5% discount if you oh cash and that’s not true because never got that discount and on top they charge a “convenience charge” whatever that is.In my opinion skip this place there are wayyyyy better ones aroundWhat a waste of money! Teach your workers to not treat your customers like that. It makes you not want to return
Awesome xiaolong bao！Especially the carb one. Absolutely love it. The chicken congee is fabulous and soooo delicious! I highly recommend this place if you pay attention more on the food but not service. A must try!
8.13.17 - Sunday lunch is always busy, so be prepared to wait 15-25 minutes. I ordered #73, which is the thousand year old egg dumpling noodle soup; simple, savory, and satisfying.We also ordered the curry squid, the rice rolls, and fried fish skins, all of which are done just right, especially the friend fish skin.Again, the staff is always nice and attentive, but dont be shy when waiving them down for service.***original review*** Generally really good eats and the staff is always nice. Sometimes you might need to work at getting their attention, but thats the Chinese Restaurant culture at times. Picture is #78 my goto. The food is simple, yet very satisfying. Theres usually a wait for lunch on the weekends if you show up after 11:30 so be prepared.
Love the congee and they have the best soup dumplings!!! I have tried so many soup dumplings but I find this place has the best taste and texture of the meat inside the dumplings!! I have been back to eat at this place for so many time. Try the soup dumplings in this place and you wont regret it!!
Authentic Hong kong style food, great services. Highly recommend it.
It has been a while since I last visited - the spot is pretty heavy with tourists. Would recommend congee and wonton noodle. Everything else we had that night was not so great. We ordered beef tendon and flank appetizer, congee, crab soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and Cantonese style shrimp pork noodle. See the uploaded pictures for more details. I think the quality of the food had gone down in quality comparing to when I was there last time five years ago. Perhaps this is due to the fact that they rely heavily on tourists business nowadays. Also the server we had tonight was rude. they will also try to make you leave as soon as possible which I think is pretty bad.
Better than my expectation, authentic chinese foodWe ordered so many dishes and we spent less than 17 USD (6 dishes for 3 persons)1. Fried Wontan with salt and sour spource: this menu is so so good, once we got it we finished it so fast then ordered for the new one it is super good2. Shirmp Wonton Noodle: this is so good shirmp in the wontan is so big and noodle was cooked on point, still Al Dan Te3. Fish Claypot (hot pot): you can choose any meat you want such as pork, spare rib or fish, the rice was well-cooked and fish was freshI recommended all you guys to try it.
Best soup dumplings ever. Yes they look frazzled and not good but they taste SO much better than it looks. The Claypot rice is always yummy. Ramen is okay.
We left without ordering anything, we ask perlite ly to a middle age man seems to be taking orders, we ask if we can sit out side, instead of okay and lead us to the way, he said “just go” with an attitude, it’s seems to be we are troubling him. Very disappointed experience.
Great Cantonese food place! This place offers authentic canto style food choices. The price is really affordable as well. I would recommend.
One of my favorite places to eat in Chinatown. Service isn’t the kindest, but I’d rather them be efficient and quick anyways.The food is incredible. My favorite is the shrimp wanton noodle soup. Very delicious on a chilly day. The noodles are very snappy and the wontons are tasty.Definitely try the soup dumplings too! I don’t have much experience with soup dumplings besides from this place, but they’re delicious.
Noodle Village is a great place to eat. Nice environment and decor. Feels like a restaurant you would find in Hong Kong. The wait service was good and the food is amazing. I had the Wonton noodle soup and it is probably one of the best Ive had in New York City. The noodles were comes to al dente. Firm but chewy and delicious. The soup was about on par with the other great in the city. The Wontons are delicious. Good amount of shrimp and very tasty pork filling. Cooked to perfection. Very good dish. Highly recommended.
This has become our go-to spot for a quick Chinese dine-in. Try the curry braised ox tail, it’s amazing.
Dumplings were delicious the Hong Kong style lo mein was pretty good the curry oxtail was a little tough could have been way more tender overall a pretty good spot to visit in Chinatown
Food was delicious and the price is reasonable especially since its in Manhattan. Portion size is good and the service is great. Bathrooms were fairly clean as well.
Good food, rude service. Middle aged man had a bad tone of voice when we asked about moving to another table.
They have outdoor seating and accepts cash/card. food is sooo good and awesome service 😋✨
The service was simply awful and ruined our time in the restaurant.The waiters were constantly hurrying us up: to order, to finish, to pay... They were not even helpful when we tried to get advise on what to order and were super arrogant and started to complain since we left just 10% tip (quite high actually for such a service) and they considered it was not enough.Taking into account theres plenty of similar places around, I cant suggest anybody to go there even when the food was actually good and tasty.
Excellent, though somewhat ironically the noodles at noodle village were not very good. THAT BEING SAID pretty much everything else was off the charts.Curry tofu, cuttlefish in chili sauce, and the SOUP DUMPLINGS were all absolutely amazing. I would say the braised beef that was paired with the noodles was excellent, I almost wish it had just been with rice.
Came here for dinner on a busy Saturday night. Food was quick to come out and well prepared. The curry ox tail is 👌. Also, the guava punch and mango punch are excellent refreshing drinks
One of the best places in Chinatown! Authentic claypot rice as well as yummy xiao long baos and noodles.
So there was convenience fee plus tax plus an insisted tip. The food I had was already really bland, the dumplings were just okay, and the condiments were not even well maintaned. I hardly knew which condiments I was using as there was name to indicate it (also tasted bland), so I didnt see and sort of fish sauce. Both the bottles for the sauces I used were closed because it wasnt maintained and the sauces dried up to block the hole. Definitely was nor worth the insisted tip from this guy named bao1Cant recommend it nor would I be interested in going there again
I came in when it was lunch time so it was really busy! The food was fine! Nothing to complain about!
Loved the dumplings I tried here, the soup dumplings and the pan fried both great! Food was quick to table didn’t feel like I waited at all.
Amazing food! The waiters were so nice!
Came right before the lunch rush on a weekday. Wait staff keep pressuring me to order. Three different ones came by, two of them twice. Ordered a wonton noodle soup with fried fish skin, which was very good. I havent seen fried fish skin in other restaurants but suspect its a HK specialty? The scallion pancake was not good. Looks deep fried, soaked with grease. Very tough to chew as well. Wait staff took away my scallion pancake plate while Im still eating the last piece and still holding it on my chopsticks. I still needed the sauce that was on the plate! She didnt even ask before taking it away. I guess they really wanted to turnover my table. Not a good feeling as a customer to be rushed through my meal.
Came for the best pork and shrimp WONTON soup. Just the right size serving for lunch. Fast and friendly service too.
The staff was very friendly and the soup dumplings were so good!!
Seriously amazing and simple wonton noodle soup. We go here so often only for their wonton noodle soup. Recently tried the chow fun and was not disappointed! Usually not a long wait to sit but they are almost always busy!
Going to this place caused me to start doubting about reviews. We decided to go to eat at this place, because of the good reviews. Nothing to expect; dont waste your time or money. Food even do not taste as Asian cuisine, much less Chinese. The noodles were sticky, past cooking and not at all attractive. Its a shame, because we really like having good experiences in restaurants. Dont waste your time and money.
My go to place for canto style noodles and congee. Their congee is always cooked right with a good mix of rice broken up and water. Great flavor. Their noodles are thin and bouncy. Dumplings are good too and fresh. Their crispy chili oil they make is flavorful and they sell it if you ask! HK milk tea is pretty good for the area as well. And clay pot rice! Very crispy bottom and one of the very few spots that still service this. Make sure to order it right away!
Favorite place in Chinatown. Order their claypot rice in advance as it takes about 10-15 mins to prepare. Rice rolls are a must too!
Food not good, tastes whatever, waiters cold disinterested once ordered, but cheerful while youre still deciding and theyre trying to push you to order more than you want. And then they add those random Chinese restaurant charges to the bill trying to swindle you - like charge, or convenience fee etc
Curry tofu was better than I expected and I had expected it to be really good. Don’t forget to order the crab and pork soup dumplings!
Short time for waiting the line. Tasty seafood wonton noodle and friendly servers.I will come back again.
Sooooo good! Gotta try the peanut and hosin rice rolls and beef brisket congee!!
Always a wait for this restaurant — which means the food is worth it. ;) everything here is delicious. Portions are just enough
The dumplings are awesome! Very fresh and tasty.. good value for the price
Good soup dumplings both the pork as well as the pork and crab, although they only gave six to an order where most places give eight.
So, so noodle house.. For some reason everything tasted the same... Service is prompt but it could of have been friendlier.
Tried Congee for the first time....I didnt really like it. We also ordered steamed rolls and chicken and corn dumplings. The dumplings were fantastic!
Delish authentic Hong Kong style food
Update: wonderful dinner. Quieter on a Tuesday night. Really enjoyed ourselves. Same good food.Earlier review:Great food. A little cramped and there was a 30 minute wait but it was worth it. Nice service.
Large portions, reasonable prices, and quality food. The beef chow fun and veggie dishes were excellent, the soup dumplings felt a little thin and deflated, but were still delicious.
The portions here are very big and everything is very cheap. The noodle soup its great especially the broth. My only complaint is the shrimp dumplings were too fishy.
Good food
Great Kong food get their wonton soup
Really good place and offer traditional Chinese food. I have try the porridge here, and it really worth a try. People arround here have recommended this place for me. So I guess its famous in neighborhood too.
Great Chinese food. They can do pretty much any accomodations to the menu if you ask for it.
Completely underwhelming chineese noodles. The cilantro and pork noodles were flavorless and the broth not so good. The fried noodles arent the greatest thing either
Really good clay pot rice!
Came here on a weekday for lunch with a friend. I liked how there was spacious seating despite being on a cramped streets. Also thought it was great how they had the plastic glass in between tables. We ordered the steamed pork dumplings and scallion pancakes. Service was super nice and spoke both English and Chinese. Really great spot in Chinatown!
Has a wonderful time outdoor dining. Great Food!
Tomato beef noodle was nice. But survive was really bad. It wasn’t that busy time when I have been there. But I had to wait for a waiter for a long time...
We went yesterday to eat soup dumpling... and we found that... enjoy
I love Hong Kong noodls , in Noodle Village they have great H.K. Foods.
Enjoyed soup dumplings and lo mein!
This is the dish for vegetarian. Yummy! Sometimes they will forget to put in your order if they have other none Asian customer to serve at the same time.
Good place to get wonton/congee/ cantonese food fix. price is reasonable. however, MSG is used
Our go-to is the steam crab and Shanghai soup dumplings and the beef chow fun. The dumpling and wonton noodle soups are also great on a cold day.
Great meal! Reason I’m hitting four instead of five is it’s not outstanding! It’s just great, predictable Cantonese fare. Nothing wrong with it what so ever.
Came in to check out place and place order, saw workers casually chatting and relaxing in background, they glanced at me and no one came to address me. Rude. I put down menu and walked right across the street to ramen place. Took my money elsewhere because clearly they didnt want it. Ramen place across street was good, no regrets.
Food was authentic, and not too costly. Staff were nice. Definitely be coming back!
The fried was rice was good, the soup filled dumplings were better. Service could have been better. Overall not a bad experience.
Noodle village has been my go-to in NYC for the best Cantonese-style noodles, with whatever toppings you like. But I would recommend their briskets.They are such humble people making amazing food. Please support!
Mixed up our order with another table. We waited half an hour before they fixed the mistake. Wontons are fine. But nothing special at all.
Good Noodles 🍜 the dumplings 🥟 are great 👍
Dont order through their web site, it doesnt work. Better off calling them.
Authentic and tasty Chinese dishes with lovely/ friendly staffs!
Best Xiaolongbao I ever had. Highly recommended
Great, simple dishes. Can get very busy, long wait.
So. Freaking. Good. Xlb, beef chow fun, pork and salty fish claypot, and scallion pancakes. Ive had a wide variety of xlb in CA, NY, asia and these might actually be at the top.. The skin is the perfect texture. Plentiful soup. 10/10.
I went in there at night for dinner and asked to eat in, and to my surprise the guy responded with “YES BUT YOU HAVE TO TIP”. I have NEVER EVER been told that in a dinning spot. So I said ok, I kinda brushed it off because I was hungry. I got seated. I waited. The food finally arrived to my table and I started eating. I was waiting to be attended and no server or anyone came to me and to ask if Everything was ok or if I needed anything, I had to call the guy at some point and ask him for soy sauce and when I did he started mumbling things that I could not understand because it was in his foreign language and I knew it wasn’t good because he had an attitude while doing so. I immediately felt uncomfortable and unwanted. It gets worse. The guy then sits by the wall across the room by me looking at my direction and kinda felt like I was being started at but it didn’t bother me too much YET. As I continued enjoying my noodles (which were pretty decent) he started talking again in his foreign language to his female co workers but me being into the food looking down I thought maybe he was just minding his own business this time with his co workers. When I randomly looked around I caught him looking at me and and another co worker and when they noticed I looked I he quickly looked away. And I know he was talking about me just by the vibes I was getting from him so I kinda just giggled a bit. And when he noticed that I did he started talking again this time more quiet with a noticeable bothered attitude type of conversation with his co workers. As a random foodie guy myself who just kindly wanted a meal to enjoy while sitting IV’E never felt this AWKWARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE. Won’t be coming back ever. I Will warn my friends to stay away from this place.
Came here to grab some brunch one day and was not disappointed. Braised beef brisket noodles were delicious; the beef was tender and soft. Although majority of their menu serves cantonese food, they do have soup dumplings as well which were wonderful! Perfect ratio of thin skin & abundant filling. Service was also friendly and attentive.
People were really rude with us. They made us feel uncomfortable. We are not coming back there again. If you are looking for a friendly place to eat with family, definitely this is not the place to be.
Best soup dumplings in the city... get the crab ones 👌🏼💯
Moms favorite noodle place. Came here on a Saturday with my mom, brother and his friend. The place was packed. We were quickly seated. Order two appetizers to share and each of us had our own noodle soup or pan fried noodle - all were delicious. Highly recommended.
We loved it all!!!! 💞 Fast, hot and good... 0
Not terrible but all in all couldn’t really recommend above the other places nearby.I ordered 6 fried vegetable dumplings and had to sit, wait and watch as tables who came in after me were served more than one course. After about 20-25 minutes I got my takeout and it was fresh but greasy and pretty flavourless.A lot of the food coming out of the kitchen looked awesome but I can’t say the same of mine - 2 stars feels harsh but I couldn’t give it 3 considering the fantastic places nearby.
The food was amazing but the customer service was trash!! I was about to give 5 stars but the server/cashier ruined my experience.
Their clay pot rice is definitely one of the best in the city (that I’ve tried). Brilliantly crispy bottom, plenty of ingredients on top, and a wonderful sauce to pour in. Order in advance because these take time (and for good reason because the end product is amazing). The curry brisket with rice noodles that comes in a clay pot is also delicious. Wonderful curry sauce, slightly crisped rice noodles — so good. Everything else here is also done pretty well. Not too amazing, but they have so many dishes.HK milk tea is also decent here, a tiny bit more watery than some of my favorite places for milk tea. And, the shanghai soup dumplings are also not bad here. Skin could be better but overall decent.
The ambiance and service at this highly rated restaurant simply sucked. We had to wait about 15 minutes outside in the wretched heat and it wasnt worth it. We were seated way in the back. The table was right near the kitchen where we heard all the dishes clattering and nearly on top of two other small tables. We waited at least 20 minutes before our order was taken.Our waiter was an absolute idiot - he kept trying to tell us to order something different and when he did, it took another 10 minutes for him to understand what we ordered. Everything came out separately and our appetizers were served last. I watched the waitresses in action and they all seemed quite competent, as did another waiter. We really got the short end of the stick with our moron. While the food was OK, it was completely uninspired - not happy with this experience.
Extensive menu. Huge selection of authentic dishes. Enjoyed the large bowl of angel hair noodle soup with liver and kidney. I added additional shrimp wontons at buck each. Everything tasted fresh and the broth had a kick of herbal sensation, due to the julienned ginger generously interspersed in the bowl. We also ordered the short ribs with broccoli over rice in a hot stoned bowl. Plenty of food to go around. On top of that we even got a third dish of soup dumplings. The juice literally exploded in your mouth. Watch out, as we were surprised that the skin being so thin that it held up with all the broth inside. A must order. Other things to note are that its cash only and no wheelchair accessibility at the time of the review. Suggest take out on the weekend when its flooded with tourists.
I enjoyed this place. We went as a larger group with a couple of babies and they were able to accommodate our party. Sure we had to a considerable amount of time but it was worth it.The menu is as diverse as are the patrons. The traditional Cantonese dishes were prepared with care and held their consistency until the last bite.
Great tasting food at fair price. Good service as well. It is a bit heavier than some other restaurants in the area although you wont really feel it until you get out of there. Highlights are their dim sum (soup dumplings are quite on point) as well as their hot pot rice. Would go again. Its right next to Wall hop and hop kee. Both of which I am not a fan of. Come here instead.
Amazing soup dumplings. Its all pretty amazing. They now have beer, too. The lot mein is great as was the oxtail.
The noodle bowls are large and delicious and their Curry is amazing! However, the best thing about this small place in Chinatown is the dumplings. The pork dumplings we split as a family was something we all regretted not getting more of. The dumplings are rich and juicy with a nice, soft noodle outside.
Decent food if youre hungry and passing by but not good enough to go out of the way for.
Great authentic Cantonese cuisine that’s really cheap. Tried many dishes here but I really love their congee with black egg. The workers were always friendly — ba bye 👋
Great soup dumplings and noodle dishes! Takes all cards.
Favorite Chinese restaurant in the city (along with the vegan one right next to it). Soup dumplings are the best I’ve ever had and constantly has me going back. Gem.
The food was delicious and the service was so quick and efficient!
Very delicious and authentic Hong Kong style
Five stars for service. I went there reading other reviews on Yelp, only to be disappointed by their food. Highlight of my mean was a fried dumplings. Shrimp and pork wanton noodles were flavorless.
Noodle Village has been a staple of Chinatown for at least a 15yrs or more. I would really call it the second generation of restaurants that are part of Chinatown and still around because the food is great. I come quite often for soup dumplings. The skin is a translucent feel which is how it should be. Not that thick bouncy stuff. You can literally see the soup inside. A extra plus is that they credit card. Additionally I would say its not as rude as other Chinese establishments that are diner style. I wouldnt say this is fine dining though
I didnt know were ate, so I ask a Chinese were i would eat and tell me about that place. I didnt know how order but the waiter be so generous and it helped me, as I had not eaten all day
The perfect amount of food for 2 people! This cost us around $28. From her left, Sticky pork dumplings, Shrimp Lo Mein, Shrimp dumplings. Sure the place was packed, however the wait isnt ridiculous and moves quickly.
We got here at 10:15 PM (place closes at 11) they told us we had 3 minutes to order and rushed us once we got to the table. Ordered lo mein with shrimp dumplings and instead got some very undercooked over-salted rice noodles. No exaggeration, it was inedible. And the scallion pancakes had not a single sliver of scallion in it, just deep fried batter. When i mentioned it to what seemed like the boss, he angrily said that’s how they made scallion pancakes, which is clearly a lie... they shouldn’t call it scallion pancakes. They shouldn’t have told us we could eat in if there wasn’t any good food left to serve. This is unacceptable. Deceived by the good ratings!
I love this place and I love their soup dumplings. Very good food and staff is friendlier than most places in Chinatown. Some of the best soup dumplings the city has to offer and you will find a lively ambiance late into the night even on weekdays. I highly recommend this place.
This is a review for their Hong Kong style beef noodle soup. Delicious broth with generous pieces of beef. If you are an adventurous eater and enjoy flavours along the line of Ox tail soup, this is for you. I liked particularly the pieces of vegetable like winter melon. I have to note that it is a little fatty but I dont think it would be flavorful with leaner cuts. Service was fast and tea was poured as I sat down. Perfect for a brisk December day.
Always 5 stars. My wife and I come here all the time. It’s somehow both very authentic and approachable. Impeccably clean and fast service. The porridge is some of the best in the city! And the price is very affordable. This place is always busy and always open. But the wait is never too long.
Love the food here...it has been a 12+ year relationship for me. :) the hotpot rice is a must have, and the noodles and soup dumplings are also great additions. They have gradually extended their menu over the years...dessert is now available! Sesame tong yuen. Excellent!!!
Great price, huge quantity and fast service!Shanghai dumplings - great soup broth, meaty and delicious! Cant go wrong with any of the soup dumplings options for pork or the pork and crab combinations!Fried Dumplings - very meaty! crust is perfectly crisp and yet not too greasy and with each bite it is perfect combination of crispy, juicy & meatiness!Spicy ox-bone noodle soup - the ox-bone curry comes in a separate little bowl which is perfect to adjust to your specific tastes, whether you want to dip into the small bowl or the large bowl. Noodles are your classic egg noodles with simple chicken broth!Fried Fish skins - gross. This might be a local dish that everyone likes to order but if you have never tried it...dont! It is not worth it. It is super greasy and just definitely not something that most people would enjoy.Clay pot rice with salted fish and pork - amazing! Any of the clay pot rice dishes are quite delicious! Of course salted fish is definitely something of a local delicacy, which some may find too salty and not good but honestly its worth trying. I recommend not to add any soy sauce to the clay pot and add to taste afterwards.Beef Brisket with rice noodle rolls - AMAZING! the rice rolls are crispy from the clay pot which add such a nice char to it and with the slight flavoring from the beef brisket was quite flavorful, tender and so good! I would highly recommend!!!I come here frequently and would recommend it!
Good price and good unique taste. Had Shrimp Spring Roll & fried wonton sweet & sour as a appetizer until our next stop. It was very good but hospitality did not exist. Threw our food on the table in front of us as it came up and then the tab. They seem annoyed to be interrupted with their socializing and how we only speak English.
When I searched for “best noodles nyc” this place was like third on the list but honestly it deserves like 25th place.While the prices are super affordable, the pictures online make the food appear more delish than they actually are in person. We ordered the dumplings, the beef braised brisket noodles and then the chicken fried noodle(thicker noodle).All the food was just ...ok and to be really truthful I would have been ok with just ordering the same items from my local Chinese take out joint. The service was speedy but borderline rude.To summarize, don’t believe the hype. Go somewhere else. ✋🏼
I was here with the guy whos producing my new movie.It was his choice. Very good. The pork pot stickers were excellent. The noodles and broth were good but the beef in with the noodles was kind of tasteless.Lots of Chinese people eating there. Thats a good sign, given its in the heart of Chinatown.
Food was really bad. We had a beef dish that was extremely greasy, and the wonton soup tasted a little like the NY subway system smells.The worst was when we went to pay, we were told that there was a mandatory 25% gratuity that also had to be paid even though neither the menu or our waiter made any mention of this. Obviously, this is a rip-off-the-tourist fee.Chinatown is full of great places to get a meal. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere but here.
Perfect food!!! It was small but we got in early enough. Everything we ordered tasted fantastic. It boldly stated no msg, and I thought they told the truth since I didn’t feel the urge of chugging water after the mea. The crabmeat soup dumplings were awesome. I loved the black egg congee with the fried dough. The dipping sauce was great. We got a few more dishes and I can’t wait to be back for more!!!
Mediocre noodles, don’t seem like fresh noodles. Beef very tough too.Appetizer takes longer than entrée which is frustrating. Rude servers
Looks like your ordinary restaurant in Chinatown. This place serves up some tasty noodles and soup.The beef noodles were superb!Many choices of soups, rice and other noodles too. Soup was spot on. And side of broccoli was plenty for two.The place was crowded and tables are very close together in this small restaurant.
I enjoyed the braised beef brisket and shrimp wonton lo mein for mains. Shanghai soup dumplings for appetizers. The dumplings were very rich tasting. Almost a little creamy in texture. Both excellent dishes.
Awesome dumplings and wonton. Great service.
Solid place for traditional wontons and noodle soup. I wasnt particularly a fan of the soup dumplings since the wrap is the same as the wontons and its a bit too thin for my liking but otherwise, everything Ive had here has been pretty good. Portions are on the smaller size but at least you get quality. It gets pretty busy on the weekends, especially during the winter season, so expect a little bit of a wait.
Delicious food at a great price. Dumplings were on point and when two people can have 12 dumplings and 2 entrees for under $50 this is good to me. Looking forward to coming back
Wow the food here is AWESOME! I havent said that about many Chinese places in New York, as I have very high standards. I came on a weekday night and before I ordered, I asked if its cash only. One of the waiters said minimum $25, to which I said I have no cash. He said its okay, just sit and eat. So I did. I ordered a wonton noodle soup with flat rice noodles, and it took a while to come out (I took this as a good sign because that means theyre actually cooking my food, not giving me some pre-made food). Needless to say, when my food came out, it was piping hot! The soup was very flavorful, and the flat rice noodles werent too soggy - it was perfectly chewy. The wontons were delicious as well; dipped in the red chili oil provided, they were even better! The shrimp inside was fresh, and the wonton was very flavorful and held together well. The entire meal was delicious. One thing that was lacking was some sort of green vegetable! When time came to pay the bill, I of course gave my credit card, and I (foresaw this coming) was told that they accept credit card with minimum $25. I told her I only had cash and that I had told the waiter from before I ate that I have no cash on me and he said I could eat, but she left and then another waitress came by and I told her the same thing, and she took the bill and my credit card. The waiter from before gave me the receipt and my card, and he also told me to remember that for next time, remember that minimum for credit card is $25.If not for the whole credit card business, I wouldve given this place 5 stars for the food. Good price (around $6.50 post-tax pre-tip) for the bowl of noodles and four wontons for good quality. Definitely recommend, but remember to bring cash or spend more than $25.
One of my favorite Chinatown locations for authentic Chinese food. Ive had plenty of good meals off the menu but seem to gravitate back to 2 main items. The Pumpkin and Mustard Green Congee is great IMO, one of the only places in town serving a vegetable congee instead of meat or seafood, very light & healthy. Top it with ground white pepper and some hot sauce. Second, the mixed dumpling soup (#61) is also great. I usually get it without noodles and just enjoy the dumplings. I really like the cilantro and black egg but be forewarned that black egg is a traditional, yet acquired taste.
The soup dumplings here are pretty legit.I came in with two friends on a Friday night at around 7 when we wanted a tasteful meal, but we were all on a budget. Thats when one of them suggested soup dumplings at Noodle Village. I havent had many authentic soup dumplings. They usually come from a plastic bag from the freezer section of a Chinese supermarket. Plus, Noodle Village was on my bookmarks list so I was definitely down to try this place out.The place was pretty full but luckily, we didnt have to wait for a table. The food takes a bit longer to come out than most Chinese restaurants, but its worth the wait. We ordered the pork soup dumpling and the crab meat soup dumplings and each came with 6 pieces. They came out piping hot. The broth in the dumplings was flavorful, but didnt seem too fatty (like Joes Shanghai).We also ordered a clay pot rice dish and the beef with ginger and scallion lo mein. The rice was great - it had that perfect crust at the edges. I wasnt huge fan of the lo mein because it was made with egg noodles, which Im not a huge fan of. However, the ginger and scallion gave it a really great flavor. Add some of their house hot sauce and it actually make those noodles more tolerable.One of my friends I was with said that she loves the wonton noodle soup here, so Ill definitely be back to give that a try and to order some more soup dumplings.
Huge variety. We tried about a dozen things and they were all very good or better. Try the curry oxtail. Dont come here expecting ambiance. If you do, your expectations are undue. This is Chinatown after all. Come here expecting really good food without (or at least low on) msg. They dont rush you out either.
Devilish seafood noodles are pretty good, soup dumplings also decent. Would repeat
Pretty decent Cantonese style noodle soups here at a very reasonable price. Good variety of toppings to go with the noodles. Havent tried the xiao long bao yet, unfortunately, but they sure looked delicious on other guests tables.. so Ill definitely try them next time.Service is Chinatown standard. Place is very clean, especially as compared with other restaurants in the neighborhood.
Food was soooo good and no MSG.
Had some great food here at a good price. The congee and pancakes reminded us of home!
Very nice restaurant, small but have a very large selection of plates. Apart from the great food, one of the most important thing for me is that they do not use any MSG in their cooking. Only a very limited restaurant in chinatown advertising that they don’t use MSG. I don’t know about you, but I dislike MSG.
Your walking in Chinatown and find this gem. The menu has a lot to choose from and it is authentic and delicious. The soup bowls are lovely and the prices are more local than tourist. If you are craving it then make sure you make it a place to visit.
Consistent quality foods all time. One of the best HK Cantonese style noodle here. Seating is not comfortable and price is not cheap. Wait could be long. Another visit March 2017. Foods quality are going down. Services are improving. Typical the meat and seafoods are not that fresh. It is a solid 3 stars now but further downgrade is possible.
Pork soup dumplings were great, but I didnt like the pork & fish rice hot pot, I should have gotten beef.
The wait was long but completely worth it!! The space is mall and you are crammed at a table along strangers but again TRY THIS PLACE OUT! We ordered the Ox tail Ramen HK Style in curry, the ox tail comes in its own bowl and the ramen comes in its own bowl. I think the idea is to mix it but I ate the ox tail the way it was served to me because it was just that good. I had never had Ox Tail before and I am still craving it to this day. We also ordered Sha Tin Chicken Congee for those that have never had it, it’s a thick soup that tastes similar to a chicken soup if you ask me. We also ordered dumpling soup but the soup was inside the dumplings!! I have NEVER had anything like this before and I was AMAZED by it! Eat the dumplings quick as the texture changes once it sits for too long, scoop up a dumpling poke a hole in the top with a chop stick, pour a little sauce into the hole to add flavor and enjoy… I hope I can find something similar here in the Seattle area!! So delicious!! Oh and order a couple orders of the fried crueler its basically fried bread but you pull little pieces and dip it in the soups, you won’t regret it. The flavor of the bread alone is good and SUPER CHEAP!
Seriously, my new favorite spot in C-town. And I eat EVERYWHERE! The dumplings are fabulous, the wontons are beyond, the soup, and soup dumplings are much better than Joes Shanghai. And the ginger scallion noodle with either thick or thin noodle. Do yourself a favor! And dont tell too many people.
One of my favorite Chinese restaurant to go to whenever Im in the vicinity of Chinatown for my favorite beef stew over chow fun noodles. Often very busy for both lunch and dinner; best time is to go is in between lunch and dinner time.
This place is one of the best Cantonese place Ive ever eaten. One of the few places that I actually would go back consistently. The place is packed during lunchtime but is usually a short wait for two people. Clean and modernesqe decor with black and mahogany colors. The crowd is predominately Chinese from young to old.
Their noodle has a very authentic taste. It taste the same as my hometown. Congee they change some ingredients taste different, but still good. I stop by on a Sunday, very busy and crowded. Recommended.
I am not a huge fan of Chinese food to be honest. I got to try a lot of places in Chinatown awhile back though, and this became my go-to place. Noodle Village isnt much to look at; service is decent which means great in Chinatown. Accepting credit cards is also a good thing. The food is consistently good even if it isnt great. Things Ive gotten included soup dumplings, bean curds, veggies, braised beef lo mein, and chicken lo mein. Im not a big lo mein guy but the rendition here is very good and the meat included is good quality. The dish is also pretty big which is nice as well. Soup dumplings are alright; bean curd was up there with the better versions Ive had. If youre looking for an accessible Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Id give this a shot.
I do love this restaurants wonton noodle soup and likely is one of the best in Chinatown. They have a good balance of shrimp and pork in the wontons and the soup is not too salty unlike some of the neighboring chinese restaurants that use too much msg. however the other dishes here could be a hit or a miss sometimes. The seats in the restaurant are close together and it can get loud. Wait staff is nice.

2022-01-12Visiting New York City trying to find out what’s the best place to go for Chinese food in Chinatown to get that experience we found it order two orders of the appetizer dumplings what is your mother housemaid fried rice and then the noodles and dumplings are amazing and you will have gotten that experience. I get this place five stars for flavor and taste and the servers are really nice

2022-06-03We got so many delicious things! I got to try the fried mantou, rice rolls, their dumplings which were delicious. The table got the HK style dumplings and brisket noodles. Everything was great.

2022-02-03Well here I am in New York visiting relatives, after surviving one of the worse Ontario snowstorms in the past 10 years and what do you know, 3 days after my arrival NYC gets a blizzard with 50mph wind gusts (snow was coming down fast & sideways) during my short stay. Cant seem to get away from the snow.Now back to the food, allowed my sister to do the ordering:Pork soup dumplings- excellent, came out piping hot, thin skin, savory liquid and the minced pork had the right texture to itClay pot rice- if you are an aficionado of clay pot rice, STAY AWAY, white rice did not absorb any flavor from its toppings. Toppings very ordinary, just plain tasteless chicken pieces and mushrooms. Mince pork/salty fish a little better only because the salty fish as always dominates the flavor profile.With the clay pots, you get a squeeze bottle of thick black salty liquid as added flavoring which you will need, too salty for my preferences.I give the dumplings 5 stars and the clay pot rice 1 stars. If my math teacher taught me correctly, that would average out to an overall 3 star ratingBtw, get out and support the Chinatown businesses, these are honest hard working people struggling to earn a living during these difficult Covid times.

2022-03-26Made a visit here per friend of friend’s recommendation.-Chicken Congee: limited amount per day, but congee itself doesn’t have type of texture I like, and also one here tasted bit blend. However, the chicken inside of it was very juicy and well seasoned. So overall bit confusing menu.-Soup dumpling: disappointing as soup inside was not hot at all-Hot pot rice: Nothing very sophisticated but I liked it a lot. Hot stone plate makes the rice very crispy and work so well with meats.Overall it wasn’t bad and I might make another visit probably for trying out noodle.

2022-01-17This is a great little gem of a Hong Kong style noodle and dumpling spot in Chinatown. It wasn’t too crowded but the xiaolongbao/soup dumplings were some of the best I’ve had in New York - with paper thin wrappers and full of rich broth. The wonton soup was also really good and perfect for a cold day.

2022-03-319/19/21: Good spot. Had the shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup, the clay pot (hot pot) rice with spare rib, and the mustard green, pumpkin congee, and the pork soup dumplings. All were very good. My favorite was the clay pot rice with spare rib though. 3/31/22: Had the Braised beef brisket w/ curry sauce lo mein. Excellent and unique dish. The curry beef tastes similar to Malaysian or Indian curry. The beef, noodles, and broth each come in their own bowl which I liked.

2022-06-01Love it love it love it! The congee is absolutely delicious and fantastic. I went to this restaurant 3 times last week. The noodles are also so yummy. The real real Cantonese style food and valuable.
Review №8
2021-11-11I bought the Dumpling Black egg pork Noodle Soup. I like the way that they package the soup in two different containers. One has the liquid part in a standard Chinese quart container while the dumplings and noodles are in a covered bowl.It was $9.53 on the in resturant menu. Beware, Seamless lists it at $11.75 and then charges you $2 delivery fee, and put their fees combine with the taxes so another $2. So almost $16 (plus tip) for the same thing I bought for $9.53.One star taken off for trying to charge me a fee to use my debit card.

2022-01-30It was the second time I came here, but this time I brought along some friends with me and they LOVED it! They ordered the claypot rice and noodle with beef and tendon, while I myself ordered noodles with braised beef and pork trotter. During my 3 week trip, I tried the similar dish at at least 5 different places in Chinatown, and dare I say this was the best one. I would lick my plate after finishing my meal, but it would be inappropriate, wouldnt it? The clear soup on the side was flavourful as well—really complemented the delicious noodle. The chilli oil. Omg. One of the best!!! Would definitely go back there when I visit NY again.

2022-04-06We’ve eaten here twice - once for breakfast and most recently for dinner.For breakfast we had one of the “limited edition” congee and it was excellent.For dinner we had a separate congee, beef chow fun, chicken clay pot, soup dumplings, and bok choy with oyster sauce. Congee was excellent again - though the meat they used was a bit fatty - but the rest of the dishes were mediocre. The beef chow fun and chicken clay pot were flavorless, the soup dumplings were excessively fatty in the filling (though the soup and wrap were good), and the bok choy was passable.Service is what you’d expect from a place such as this - rude but efficient.Overall, we’ll probably return for the congee but not much else.
