The Tang in other cities:
I came here a few weeks ago and I am still thinking about the food here! The naughty tofu was really good. I also had the stir-fried shredded cabbage and who knew that it would be that well-seasoned and delicious. My friend ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup and enjoyed it. This is a great place for a late-night dinner. 100% recommend!
What I like about this place: The service is attentive and great. The atmosphere is good. The food is average.What I don’t like: the value of the food doesn’t seem great. $18 for a bowl of noodle soup with some beef. The chicken wings doesn’t taste good to me.Overall a good place to dine with your friends, but not a good choice for foodies.
This place is amazing. A hidden gem. Takes basic Asian dishes and elevates them to a delicious and elegant form. The interior is clean, but pretty utilitarian. The neighborhood is less than desirable...but the food...oh the food. Authentic classic dishes with a little twist. So yummy!
Just had the most amazing meal here. First off, the restaurant is gorgeously elegant which makes the dining experience that much more memorable. It’s not a large space but it is thoughtfully laid out. I love the bar area in front overlooking Amsterdam Ave. And the hand painted wall murals are beautiful. Almost every angle of this restaurant is Instagram worthy.Does the food live up to the décor? YES! So happy we got to come for a food tasting. We ordered quite a lot of food (for two people) when we were here. We ordered the fried pork buns, roasted eggplants, scallion oil noodles, pineapple fried rice with shrimp and the veggie summer roll.The fried pork buns were amazing. The braised pork belly melts in your mouth. This was by far my favorite dish of the night. The roasted eggplants were another great dish. The soybean paste and bonito flakes really helped to elevated the eggplants. The pineapple fried rice was great and I loved the shredded pork garnish. The scallion oil noodles had great flavor. The dish was smaller than I was expecting but the noodles were wonderful. Cooked right and not overdone. The summer roll was okay. We ordered it because it looked like it was a new addition to the menu. I think this dish was overshadowed by the fried buns and roasted eggplants.We also ordered desserts and got the fried buns with condensed milk and a scoop of the lychee ice cream. The lychee ice cream was surprisingly forgettable, but the fried buns were a winner. It had a thin coating of caramelized sugar and had a nice crunch as you bit into it. It did not need the condensed milk dip, in my opinion.I definitely want to go back and try more of their menu. Or possibly just order 10 plates of the fried pork buns—they were the bomb.
Most authentic braised beef noodles I’ve ever had in the city!!! Reminds me of my childhood eating this with my dad!Braised beef are so tender, soups on point but not too salty. My only issue is the egg. Wish it wasn’t smoked and more cooked, the smell just made me sick :( Will definitely order again without the egg though!!! Highly recommended 👍
Fantastic Chinese restaurant! Interior is very clean and modern. The menu covers a wide variety of food, but is not so extensive you dont know what to order.I ordered the herbal chicken noodle soup and it was absolutely amazing. The herbal chicken soup might be an acquired taste but I loved it. The broth was flavorful and light and it came with an entire chicken thigh. The noodles were wonderful. Perfect amount of chewiness, cooked right to perfection. By the time i was done, i cleaned out the entire bowl, broth included.Definitely want to try more of their dishes if im ever back in the area.
Theres so much sand in the bok choy you can practically build a bloody sand castle.Heres a fun fact. The human stomach is not exactly designed to digest sand.Looks like this restaurant does NOT wash their food before cooking. Or maybe they somehow believes the best seasoning for the bok choy is sand.Honestly I dont know what is worse.Such a shame, the braised beef was actually pretty damn good! But perhaps next time try to deliver your food with less sand than the beach.
No recommend this place.Ordered a pork belles and bean noodles at this location. Wait around 15 to 20 min to get it on the table. The pork belly is big but with large amount of fat also without too much flavor so it is very greasy. The noodle is not stirred well so some part is very salty while others are lack of flavor. The size of the dish is very pricey compare to its size. Cost $14 plus tax but it is a very small bowl. You might get hungry if you just order one bowl.This locations is decorated well and the waitresses is friendly. If you sit on the bar you can see chief cook in front of you. But I do see flys on the counter. So this place may be not that hygiene on the back. Overall, not recommended.
This is a great, new Chinese place serving ”what people eat now” Chinese food. The only bad things are the terrible seats. They just had to make small, low seats that are made only for small legs. But the booths look good. Sit on the booths if you come. The atmosphere here is lovely. There is not too much lighting, but there is enough of it. The music is not loud, but not quiet (and they play ok music.) It was not too loud when I went there, and I went there when it just opened. The service was very good. The people that worked there were friendly. The food was the best part of this place. I highly recommend trying the steamed pork dumplings. They were not that spicy and they tasted as dumplings should taste like. I ordered the braised beef noodle soup. That was good as well. The soup was tasty and spicy, and the noodles were thick. The scallion pancakes were good. They were warm and straight out of the oven. But they could have been thicker.
Absolutely loved this place. We went to the East Village location last year and I am sad to see this location has closed. We went for lunch- I ordered the braised beef noodle soup and my boyfriend had the drunken noodles. Both were amazing. When we are able to travel to NYC again, we will be stopping at this location.
Service was excellent. Atmosphere was elegant and music was a nice touch. The food is where my visit topped the charts. The garlic pork dumplings were heavenly, seasoned and fresh greens really pop with the savory goodness of the pork! The spring rolls were the best I’ve ever had. Crisp and flavorful and the dipping sauce was on point!! Noodles of the Goddess! Nuff said! Braised beef noodle for the win! No fancy dessert.
Good noodle joint. Good service - I did not want to do takeout since the noodles get soggy - but did not want to eat indoors either. They set up a table just for us. That’s service. Had the spicy beef noodle soup and spicy chili chicken, as well as Dan Dan men. All good and authentic Chinese. My to go for noodles in the neighborhood.
This place is very good for eating.This restaurant works for pretty much every dining situation. We say “pretty much” so you don’t complain to us after showing up to this all-day spot in Washington Heights looking for a white tablecloth restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or a divorce. But from breakfast on your way to work or fried chicken with a group to cocktails and pizza with a date. Once you eat at The Tang, you’ll instinctively wander back whenever you need some good, quick food that’s not too pricey. This is a Chinese noodle bar on the Upper West Side with a big selection of things like dan dan noodles, roasted bone marrow, fried beef buns. If you just want one thing, go for the signature beef noodle soup with chewy noodles, tender beef, and a smokey soft-boiled egg. There’s a bar overlooking the kitchen where you can eat by yourself, and there are also a bunch of tables in the sleek space where you can grab a casual weeknight dinner with a friend.
Make The Tang Dandy Dandy again!Just heard the news last night that theyve taken Dan Dan Noodles off the menu. My hunch is at too many non-Chinese customers simply dont like such a pungently hot noodle dish. My suggestion is that they bring it back as a special, perhaps on the weekends.Also, unless I misunderstood, I would prefer that the Lao Gan Ma sauce be made in-house.You should go here. Its a terrific Chinese restaurant.
Everything here is amazing. Their signature soup is a flavor bomb (but lots of oil in case you’re conscious of that), my friend ordered the chicken soup and it was everything he wanted on a grey rainy day. Garlic pork dumplings were the best I’ve had in a long time. Side note- the bathrooms are really cool.
Absolutely outstanding. The Tang boasts a carefully curated menu of traditional Chinese classics with a modern twist. My mum is from Shanghai and I grew up with legit Chinese food. We had things like pig knuckles and ears, herbal chicken soup, and all sorts of delicious veggies. They have all of that here and they do it with care and creativity.Highly recommend this place if youre looking for modern, refined, yet authentic Chinese food.They even gave us a free hojicha (roasted tea) panacotta on our way out. So good!
During the COVID period in 2020, The Tang offered delivery that can be paid by the gift cards. I purchased gift cards from them. But they stopped delivery after a short period of time. As someone who lives about an hour away from their location, it was impossible for me to get food from them. And they insist that they wont provide refund for the gift cards.
Was looking for food on my lunch break and stumbled upon this place. Got braised beef noodle soup, chilled beef slices, and pork and chive fried dumplings. Noodles are bouncy, broth is tasty, meat so tender it was actually kinda hard to handle with chopsticks. The eggs in the noodle soup tasted AMAZING! The dumpling skin was a little thick but very tasty. Staff was very nice, food came out quick, and the kitchen was wide open and very clean. One of my new favorite places in NYC, just wish I’d known about it sooner. Definitely coming back to try other parts of the menu. Can’t wait until pandemic runs its course and I can come and sit down at this place, but so far their takeout game is on point.
Last week my family and I, (a party of four) - We had a reservation and we were seated right way.After ordering our food which took almost more than 50 mins to get our appetizers on the table. I have noticed that other customers who came after us had their food on their table prior to our. The staff was very nice but the food was flavorless, greasy and to quite frank... it was disgusting. My suggestion to anyone who are tempted to go there is... to run, far away from this place. It is a disaster, it is a of waste time and money. One of the our orders was the marrow bone, which happened to be fake and awful, the other dish we regretful ordered was oxtail, what a joke... inedible. Just go to any other joint instead. For sure, I will never put my foot there again.
We ate dinner on a Sunday evening. We ordered a chicken soup noodle, zjm noodle and Taiwan beer. The chicken soup was very flavorful, with many pieces of very tender chicken. Zjm noodle is a little on the sweet side, they do give you a lot of meat sauce. Taiwan Beer was served with chilled glass. The waiter and waitress are very nice. I definitely recommend this place!
This place serves food that is done technically well, but not good with flavors. For example, I ordered the ja Jiang mien. I got perfectly cooked, amazingly chewy noodles, but the components of the sauce were wrong. They tried to make it more hipster by using chopped pork belly, but the pieces were too big to eat with the noodles and I ended up with a pile of salty pork belly and the bottom of my bowl. Additionally, I ordered the pork belly buns and got a really nice crispy man tou with succulent pork belly inside, but the whole thing was drenched in Chipotle mayo. The Tang seems like it cant decide between being an authentic Chinese restaurant and a hipster Chinese inspired restaurant, and the combination is often confusing. Additionally, this restaurant is expensive for what it is, and there is better authentic Chinese food across the street. And, the chairs here dont have seat backs. Its like sitting on a stool with a butt imprint
The service was ok but the menu is different from the menu online and my friend and I can here to eat some of the items we saw on the online menu, the shrimp were over cook and the food was cold in general we were not able to enjoy our food plus they only have water and coke all items are out of stock as per server...
IMO, overpriced Chinese food (I guess UWS feels either it’s cool or understand the cost of being located there) and portions are small. On top of this, a charge of $1 transaction fee for non-cash customers. Nickel and diming establishment are horrendous. If you can’t properly allocate the overhead within the inflated price structure...shame. The food has somehow loss something traveling to this location. Maybe catered towards non-asian palates. The staff are friendly enough but should something be amiss, the staff will be less than accommodating. Cheap ingredients selling at premium prices.Tang is trying its best to be trendy like the lamb noodle place nearby. But it’s becoming a local chain that may lose its appeal by growing too quickly and being too commercial (like a Chinese chipotle).

2022-05-26I think this place used to be better when they first opened. Maybe I’m mistaken but I remember the noodles were more authentic. This time, the turnip cake was deep fried and couldn’t find any pieces of turnip, texture inside was like a bowl oatmeal that’s been sitting out for a whole day. Herbal chicken noodle and pineapple fried rice were pretty good. The scallion oil noodles they serve was like bad lo mein, don’t expect anything close to the real thing.

2022-06-20I got the garlic pork dumplings & scallion oil noodles. Both were very good including portion size. I wish the dumplings had some chives or green onions in addition to the garlic flavor since I think it needed a little more flavor but still very good.The service was wonderful. Very fast and attentive - my water was never empty. All the food was prepared fresh. The restaurant decor and ambience was also excellent.

2022-06-16[5/5, New York, NY] Solid 5/5 for taste and price. What a gem! Herbal chicken noodle soup was rich and tasty. Braised beef noodle had amazing beef. The stir fried beef noodle had very tender beef. Salted egg yolk prawn. Mouth watering chicken (spicy cold chicken appetizer). Spicy wanton. Everything in this picture with tip was only $110 for 4 pax. Amazing price to value ratio. Would definitely come back again.

2022-02-16This place is amazing! I don’t leave reviews often but I just had to for this spot. The food was beyond good; especially the Crispy Tofu and Garlic Pork Dumplings. There was no wait to be seated and the service was on point. Our waiter Anan was awesome! Very polite and frequently checking to see if we were alright. Would 10/10 recommend.

2022-06-09I came here for lunch with my friend. So glad we came here, I gotta say this is the best noodles spot in the neighborhood! I really love the beef in the noodles, so tasty and cooked very well. The small dishes dumplings in chilli oil and Taiwanese Sausage are soooo good. Im also obsessed with their prawns with Salted Egg Yolk. Cant wait to go there for Happy hour next time!!!

2021-07-24Excellent noodle soups. I came here with my mom. She got the chicken soup and I got the vegetable soup. Both were really great. Servers are friendly and efficient. Highly recommended. We ate outside but the interior is clean and modern.
