    Menu/indoor counter

    I came here looking for a quick and cheap lunch near grand central on a Friday around noon. I walked in and while the restaurant was crowded there was no line to order. I got the spicy chicken rice noodles. There are a few seating tables, but the restaurant can probably seat 15 people max, not the most table space to dine in. There is also plenty of food traffic here around lunch time with plenty of delivery order and other pick up request. Would recommend calling ahead to order to save you some time. It took them around 12 mins for my food to come out, and it was quite well packaged for me to take to-go. I ate my meal after about 20 mins later when I had the chance to sit down and the noodles were still warm and delightful. For under 15 dollars, I thought this meal was quite the steal. The rice noodles were honestly something I will definitely be coming back for. There was plenty of meat and vegetables in the noodles. The noodles themselves were soft and well cooked. It was not too spicy by any means, but was made with enough chili oil to properly bring out the flavor. I was a big fan of the meat as well, properly prepared and no bones or tendons in my meal. For the price, I think burp bowl is an absolute steal, if you find yourself near grand central looking for a quick lunch spot, would definitely recommend.

    C2. Spicy Chicken Cold Noodle

    Was craving something fast and cheap nearby and found this gem of a restaurant super close by. I really liked this. The noodles were bouncy and chewy and the chili oil was just the right amount of spicy and oily. There was a generous helping of chicken and cucumbers + green onions as well. It was good especially when I added a little peanut butter. Inside there is seating and service is pretty fast. Super easy to order they have like 10 diff classic Chinese noodle dishes and I would love to come back and try other ones. Portion sizes were big and it's so cheap!! Love it

    Spicy Chicken Dry Noodles
    Josh B.

    Enjoyed the spicy chicken dry noodles. Glad to see non-soup options given my record of shirt damage. The medium spice level had plenty of heat even before adding chili oil. This is top-tier in flavor, value and convenience.

    I stumbled across this local Asian takeout gem near work and had to try it out. I went with the pork intestine rice noodles. The noodles were perfectly bouncy and springy! I asked for it extra spicy, it could've been more spicy! Also ordered the wontons in chili oil--absolutely delicious. I had my eye on the pig's feet too, but they were sold out. :( Overall, it was solid with decent prices--definitely coming back.

    Spicy beef noodle soup
    Fenn N.

    Absolutely delicious and the best comfort food in the area to have on a cold day. I'm speechless. I went two days in a row to get the beef spicy noodle soup. I added fried egg the second day. Absolutely in love with the dish. The staff is super efficient and nice. Will keep coming back!

    C1. Sesame Paste Cold Noodle
    Sherica G.

    Service was quick. The store is small but enough to sit a few customer, no fancy decor but good tasting food. Got sesame cold noodle, dry beef rice noodle and beef tongue. All of them tasted wonderful. Just the noodle for the dry beef was a little too soft...not soggy but getting close there. Price is very reasonable.

    Amazing hole in the wall spot. Authentic Chinese cuisine. Limited menu. Noodles and a few vegetables/sides. Soup or dry fried. Everyone loved it. Small eat-in space or popular takeout spot.

    Dry Mixed Beef Egg Noodle
    Melinda L.

    My favorite local hole in the wall noodle shop. Extremely affordable, authentic, and tasty for midtown east. This is definitely one of my go-to's whenever I'm craving a quick lunch or dinner. Each dish comes with a generous serving of protein and vegetables. The dry dishes are quite flavorful, especially if you get the cold spicy chicken noodles. I usually do this during the summers. Their soup options are also delicious for a cold winter day. I love doing egg noodles for their dry options (because it absorbs the flavor way better) and rice noodles for the soup options (since it's just more fun to slurp). Great spot to come year round and if you're looking for authentic Chinese noodles in the area.

    The food, service- awesome . Authentic, casual . Celebrated Chinese New Year here with my good friend. She always told me about the original location. She ordered her favorite- cold noodles with spicy chicken. I had cold sesame noodles. Highly recommend!!

    It only took 6 minutes from when I ordered, to when my food was delivered...piping hot!

    If you work/live near this restaurant and you're not ordering food from them, you're crazy. Granted, they're pretty close to my office building but the prompt service is amazing! I submitted my order via the Yelp app, at 1308, and my food was delivered by 1314. That's six minutes, y'all! The food came piping hot and so very flavorful! I love a good bowl of rich soup, in just about all forms, no matter the season. I was very happy with my lunch. It was the perfect spicy broth to help cure a slight hangover. Broth Wonton (extra spicy) - I ordered this soup with an amped up heat lever, added extra rice noodles and chicken. The broth is very rich. It is packed with a lot little wontons and the serving of extra chicken is a nice portion size. There was enough of everything to make two meals out of my food. The soup was not as spicy as I would have liked, but I was able to work with it. I would definitely order again. This would be a nice and easy meal to order and take home for the family. I have my eye on a few of their other dishes that I would love to try, especially if the turnaround time from order to delivery is as fast as it was today. Banger, for sure!

    A great little lunch spot in midtown east to pick up some delicious and authentic northern Chinese food. They offer a variety of noodle dishes as well as appetizers. I tried the sesame noodles and spicy wontons and they were both excellent. Prices are very reasonable and service is quick.

    Essie L.

    I don't know what the rave is about... the soup tastes like it's got a ton of MSG in it, there were like 5 tiny pieces of meat in the soup, and I was so thirsty after eating here. The most terrifying thing is this place has no AC. It's not a problem in the winter, but when I went it was boiling hot in there, and they only had an overhead fan. I cannot imagine ever going here again since it's getting warmer and warmer. There were also no Chinese style soup spoons, which should be a nobrainer for a place that serves Chinese noodles.

    A1. Beef Rice Noodle Soup (with extra veggies)
    Rainey C.

    Hole in the wall authentic Chinese noodle shop. You know it's good when the chairs, utensils, and tables are all mismatched. Quick service and a good meal! $13 for a bowl of beef noodles, can't get there anywhere else in Manhattan unless it's Chinatown. They do a bunch of delivery orders too in case you're not in the area!

We ordered three dishes that I had either enjoyed before or was familiar with: Wuxi Pork Ribs: The ribs were quite decent, tender and juicy, with a nicely balanced sauce. But there was nothing particularly memorable about them. The menu says the secret recipe has been passed down through generations for more than 110 years, but I found that claim hard to reconcile with what was on the plate. Slow-roast a slab of pork ribs for four hours at 250°F, I can get a very similar result at home. Famous Assorted Bowl: This used to be one of my favorite dishes here, and I ordered it almost every time I visited. Unfortunately, this time it was a real disappointment. The ingredients no longer tasted freshly prepared, well-seasoned, or flavorful. Instead, much of the dish had the bland, slightly lifeless quality of previously frozen food. Even the shrimp in the soup did not taste particularly fresh. Boiled Shredded Dry Bean Curd with Chicken and Shrimp: This is a classic Yangzhou dish and another item I used to order regularly. In the past, the bean-curd sheets were cut into extremely fine threads, with a soft and delicate texture that absorbed the flavor of the broth beautifully. This time was completely different. The bean-curd threads were hard and dry, with the texture of a packaged frozen product, and they had absorbed almost none of the broth's flavor. What had once been a delicate, carefully prepared dish now tasted surprisingly flat. Overall, Tipsy Shanghai used to be a restaurant I returned to for several specific dishes. However, both the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation seem to have declined noticeably.

Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry.

However, the other dishes are not particularly memorable. The skewer meat was tough and difficult to chew through, while the burger had a mushy texture and lacked distinct flavor. ​The service is standard for a quick-service noodle shop; the staff isn't overtly helpful or friendly, but they aren't inhospitable either. Stick strictly to the wide noodle dishes if you decide to visit.

    Had walked by a few times but a on post gym Trader Joe's run the pictures were enticing enough…read more Got a Lanzhou beef noodle combo with a drink and a lamb burger. The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

Flavored with salt, pepper and tangy sweet chili Thai sauce. Although the salt was is a bit too salty for my tongue, but will be excellent w beer/sake or rice. Salmon with Apple yuzu 4/5 -- It was good but the amount of apple yuzu sauce added too much acidity in enhancing the flavor of the raw salmon.

Menu looked good with a wide selection of apps, salads, ramen and a few desserts. And doesn't hurt that it's got a bib gourmand reco from Michelin. The front door is crazy heavy- so pull hard when you enter. The interior is dark modern decor with music playing. Feels like a hushed night club. It's a very narrow space with limited seating so reservations in advance is a must! They will seat large parties if half show up. We were seated at a long table with 8 seats along the side and 1 at each end. The table had a great view of the kitchen which was fun. We ordered a range of apps- small bites (good for vegetarians), apps (wings, bao, riceballs) and ordered ramen. They had a good selection of non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. For dessert, we all saw the kitchen preparing shaved ice. Gigantic snowball of ice and syrup topped with whipped cream. We knew that we had to order it for dessert. We got 2 kakigori for the table- one mango and one matcha with red bean. Each person got a small bowl to take a serving from the huge shaved ice ball. Everyone enjoyed the food.

But maybe because I tried the Smoke Dashi Ramen and the smoked fish oil did not appeal to me at all.

And the broth was rich in a way that was almost milky, and not just a bowl of broth and salt like your typical American ramen chain restaurants. It barely knocks Ichiran off the top of my list for ramen in the US. However, as good as the chashu was, it wasn't as delicate as Ichiran does it. Nevertheless, I haven't had such an enjoyable meal in a while. #384
