The restaurant is bright and clean. The staff is friendly. Food overall is decent. The cucumber salad: first bite was just ok. But after a few bite, it gets better. The scallion sauce isn't too strong and no aftertaste lingering like garlic sauce. If you're not allergic to peanuts, definitely add the peanut bits. It adds an extra flavor. 8/10 The woodear salad: very vinegary and crunchy. 9/10 The potato salad:crunchy and the flavor is just right. Mild spicy. 8/10 The original soup noodle: too mild. Barely any flavor. 5/10 The mala pork intestine soup noodle: I got the regular spiciness level and it was actually quite spicy. If you can't tolerate spicy food, try mild or medium first. The pork intestine is bit chewy. Otherwise the flavor is good. 8/10 The seafood tom yum soup noodle: mild tom yum flavor. The soup base is slightly on the sour side. Overall is good. 8/10 Thai style soup noodle: the soup flavor is good. Not too spicy. 9/10 We also tried the brown sugar rice cake: it's just ok. Not crunchy enough. The brown sugar is missing some caramelized flavor. So it is a sweet rice ball. 5/10 I think the temperature inside would be fine if you go during a cool day. When it's a hot day, the restaurant could get very hot even if they turn on both ACs. With just 2 ACs insides, and eating a hot bowl of spicy soup noodle, we were all sweating inside. Though the food is good, I would not return during summertime. It's just too hot to enjoy a good bowl of hot soup noodle. read more

Staff are attentive and preempted my accommodations for the kids (straws, plastic plates etc). Very adorable and filling meals. I asked to sub rice for noodles because one of my kids is a rice pot (can't go without rice) and requested extra sauce, which they kindly provided. The set meals are a fantastic deal; a full size entree, an appetizer and a drink for $19-20. An extra order of noodles is $2.50 and it's really double the amount of noodles that comes in your entree. I also ordered their new dish with has abalone and sea cucumber; this is not part of a set meal. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It has that umami sweetness that comes from a great soup base and the noodles are delicious as usual. The abalone was tender, the sea cucumber had a bite to it. There was fish maw and wood ear in there as well. read more

Very good rice noodles with big portions! The soup noodles come out in a piping hot bowl, so be prepared to sweat. It also feels never-ending, so come with an empty stomach. I've tried the fish maw soup rice noodles, and the tom yum soup noodles - both have good broth, but the tom yum was spicy and hot in temperature, so it was hard to eat it quickly. My mom tried the Chicken Fish Maw soup noodles and thought the chicken was not of the best quality, so I'd avoid that in the future. They have set meals that come with a side and drink, but those limit you to three options. I got sold on buying the gift cards to maximize spend, so I have a few more visits. I'm looking forward to trying the dry noodles because summer is just around the corner! read more

We came here for dinner and there was no wait for 5 people on a weekday. We ordered various meal sets - I ordered a B set - a beef brisket sauce mixed noodle, crispy coconut lava ball and a kumquat drink for $20. I thought this was a pretty good deal! I got mild spiciness for the beef brisket noodle and thought that was good enough for me (I can't handle spicy). My husband got no spicy and for me that felt very bland, though he liked it. The beef brisket was tender and flavorful. The coconut lava balls were crispy on the outside and had dripping coconut sago inside. Since we had so many combo meals from B's to C's, I was also able to try out the wings, the rice cake and sausage - I liked the sausage the best. For the drinks, my favorite was the passion fruit sparkling juice. We also ordered the braised assorted meats where my favorite was the pig intestines and the dumpling in spicy oil which was also good- not very spicy. The dumplings have shrimp it in - it's not on the menu but thought you should know. I've been here previously and had the beef brisket soup noodle and it was also flavorful so no disappointments there either but must say I prefer the sauce mixed noodle more! read more

The food and service here has been good since they opened. The dishes are mainly on the hot side so it can get very hot having these in the summer, but they have sufficient ac so you can continue to enjoy the food. I like to come here once in a while with family and it's always a good choice. read more

Not as big as the competitor in terms of space, but definitely holding down its own presence with their food quality and service. The attentive staff made sure we were never thirsty, A+ all the way in that aspect! Loved almost everything we ordered. Can't wait to return to inhale the rest of the menu! read more

One of the best restaurants on 86th street! We came for lunch and there was a decent amount of diners shortly after they opened at 11am but we got a table right away. One thing that immediately stood out was the friendly and attentive service. We were greeted upon entering and leaving, tea was constantly refilled and plates were cleared from the table very quickly. The dining environment was also very pleasant and the AC was on high blast, which is absolutely necessary when dining at a restaurant that serves boiling hot noodle soup in the summer. We ordered: Tomato soup rice noodle with beef brisket- Loved the flavorful soup base. Brisket was a bit tough. Would probably opt for the beef slices instead next time. Supreme fish maw chicken soup rice noodles- A more mellow and herbal soup flavor than the tomato. Chicken was moist and tender! It has a ton of invigorating ingredients; perfect for sick days or when you're in desperate need of a boost in energy levels. Assorted meats sauce mixed rice noodles- Loved all 3 braised meats that came with this dish. The sesame peanut sauce noodles were YUM! Brown sugar rice cake- Excellent dessert. Perfectly chewy texture and not too sweet. Prices were very good considering the amount of food that we (over)ordered. Another plus is that they offer a loyalty card as well. This, along with the excellent service and dining environment means I will be a repeat customer! read more

On a cold winter day in NYC, one of the best meals that's hardy and comforting for me is a steaming bowl of noodles. My friends each ordered those while I ordered the scallion oil based dry noodles but it hit the spot nonetheless! When my friends and I entered, (I guess relatively early for a Sunday afternoon), we were seated immediately and given hot teas. The service was quick and our food made it to our tables one by one. Overall, we were able to sit and eat while catching up with one another as new year music played in the background. The only caveat to dry noodles was that my beef brisket felt a bit chewy. If you happen to like ten seconds yunnan noodles, this place should be a hit with you as well! Highly recommend :) read more

Ji Bei Chuan Authentic Asian Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very affordable, large portions, VERY generous with the ingredients per serving and their loyalty system is very worthwhile if you plan to come back often. Hard to find a establishment like this in 2025 let alone the last 10 years that offers noodles and dishes at the price point, sizes and quality that they do. The supreme chicken and fish maw noodle soup dish is very high protein, easy to eat and to some palettes maybe kind of 'boring' or lacking flavor/depth but to me it almost feels like a high protein, high carb, healing kind of a meal.. iykwim. Its one of those old school proper refuel dishes. The cucumber salad with scallion sauce is surprisingly good. I would say this is a must get. Assorted beef mixed noodles is great too, but I prefer the soup dishes cause its simple ingredients but all comes together so well and provides great nutrition. (and yes I am aware there is likely a unnecessarily added amount of MSG to the dishes most likely if not definitely lol) read more

Ordered the following for delivery: - Brown Sugar Rice Cake ($8.05): 6 pieces of rice cake and was so good and chewy when it's warm! Reminds me of the rice cakes for chinese new year. - Sauce Mixed Noodles w. Minced Pork ($14.95) - Szechuan Spicy Sauce: Mild for the spice, has a bit of a kick and not overpowering. Big portion sizes and they do not skimp out on the minced pork! Would like to order again and try other items on the menu. read more

Ten Second Noodles has a serious competitor, because the noodle soup options at Ji Bei Chuan are TASTY and exciting! My dad & I came for a quick Sunday lunch, and it was still pretty crowded at 1:30pm. I ordered the Tom Yum Seafood noodle soup ($16) and he ordered the Fish & Tofu noodle soup ($14). I was a bit put off by the prices here since it's a good $3-4 more than Ten Second Noodle, but the portions and toppings both are generous and of good quality. The Tom Yum soup had all the tom yum notes that I usually like, and the spice/sourness was perfectly balanced. It's not super spicy and it's definitely tolerable. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of toppings - I got about 2 mussels, 4 shrimp pieces, and 4 pieces of fish fillet on top of all the other veggies and whatnot. Interior is a bit smaller but definitely still fits a good amount. Best for groups of 2-4. Cash & card are both accepted. They also have a loyalty card here for order 10 times, get 1 free! read more

Service is always great and food comes out super quick. They offer a lot of combo specials. We typically get the recommended chicken soup/fish maw (with or without chicken depending on how hungry we are), but have also tried tomato w/fatty beef, tom yum seafood, ma la. The portion sizes are generous and the food is very comforting. If you live in the area, it's a quick easy meal and you get a stamp card. Interested to try the coconut balls. The restaurant is typically busy when it's cold outside since the soup warms you right up. read more

I've been here several times and love it each time! The interior is clean, well lit and the service is sooo polite and quick. Can't recommend this enough. The food is also super delicious, I've tried a few dishes and tend to go back to the tomato soup with beef slices. Such a great spot and there are several locations too. read more

The staff are pretty attentive and super friendly so if you're feeling indecisive, definitely ask them questions about the menu. The tables are a little too close to each other, but still not as bad as the usual ramen spots, so it's okay. Decent amount of seating. I've tried the Ji Bei Chuan in Chinatown which I was thought was just alright, but so far, this location is definitely better and I'll be returning on another rainy day. Overall, the portions are pretty big, especially the noodles itself, so you'll leave very satisfied. If you've had crossing bridge noodles before, the ingredients are pretty much the same, but it comes out as one pot. Assorted Meats Sauce Mixed Riced Noodle: didn't get a picture of this one, but I liked the peanutty sauce and the noodles are so slurpable. The meats are good, but there was too much of the pork intestines, which we didn't finish. Ji's Fish Maw Soup Rice Noodle (Without Chicken): they only give two pieces of the fish maw if you're wondering :D I actually really enjoyed the broth, it was comforting but with enough taste/flavor and wasn't bland. It's closest to a chicken broth taste, but much much better. I prefer my spicy soups usually, but I definitely wouldn't mind ordering this one for myself either. Cucumber Salad with Scallion Sauce: we were curious about the scallion sauce lol. You can easily make this yourself at home - I was expecting a garlicky cucumber with this scallion sauce, but the cucumbers were just plain. Fried Fish Skin: warning, very salty, but so crispy and yummy. Not sure I'd order again, but it's definitely fresher than what you'd get in a package sold at the supermarkets. Mala Spicy Rice Noodles with Beef Slices: considering there were three peppers on the menu for this dish, it actually wasn't very spicy. That was like mild to medium spicy for me at most. Generous with the noodles, generous with the fatty beef as well. Broth wasn't too salty and tasted good. read more

stopped by with my mom for a quick meal at this noodle soup on 86th St. In summary, relatively newish and clean shop, tasty noodles options and decent appetizer selection. Moreover, the hot tea (which is free) was so rich and soothing. Went with the Beef Brisket noodles (R4) for $13. Decent portion size, a very hot hot stone bowl, flavorful soup, tender beef pieces and lots of goodies in the bowl. My mom went with 2 appetizers including the fried tofu (small bite size pieces with sauce) and the spicy chicken wings (they were OK and likely air fried) Friendly staff, mostly on the younger side and they speak Cantonese. read more

A nice addition to 86st, the space was clean and modern, service was quick, and food was good. Really enjoyed their cucumber salad with scallion sauce which was unique. For appetizers we tried the truffle fries, cucumber salad, cold cut chicken, braised pork intestine. I would skip the braised pork intestine as it wasn't prepared to well and still had a strong gamey taste. Everything else was good. For the main, we tried the tomato broth beef noodles and the fish maw supreme chicken rice noodles. The tomato broth was fine but the chicken rice noodles was flavorful and hearty. Would recommend that! read more

My favorite spot for noodles has a new location! This location serves the noodle soups in black stone pots which keeps it warm. The portions are huge and everything is delicious. Next time I will pass on the truffle fries though, they were a bit salty. The marinated shredded chicken is savory and fragrant. All the noodle soups come with enoki mushrooms, lettuce, fried tofu puffs, quail eggs, woodear mushrooms, corn, and generous amount of noodles and meat of choice. Highly recommend all the noodle dishes! Every one of them are good! You can also choose if you want it spicy or not. The staff are nice and everything is very efficient - your dishes will be served fast. read more

I've found my new go to rice noodles spot in Brooklyn. The place hasn't opened too long ago but you can tell it's good based on how busy it is! Despite being busy, they were able to accommodate a party of 2 right away. If you're looking for an affordable lunch that'll fill you up, I definitely recommend stopping by Ji Bei Chaun as their portion sizes are huge. I'm never able to finish the full portion when I'm dining in. We ordered Ji's fried tofu ($7) which we really enjoyed. The tofu was an interesting texture slightly firm but also soft not like what you'd normally expect but it tasted really yummy! The supreme fish maw chicken soup rice noodle was delicious and I really liked that the chicken was boneless. The broth was light but still really good! My partner ordered the sauerkraut fish slice noodles which came with plenty of fish slices and was really tasty! The noodles come out steaming hot and fresh. Overall a great spot for a quick lunch! read more

Brand new spot opened in 86th street and I highly recommend going! Everything we ordered was good but I only took a pic of my noodles as we forgot to take pics since we were so hungry. The wings, crispy pork and truffle fries were fried to perfection! I had the original soup noodles with fatty beef slices and it was perfect for this weather. Only complaint I have is I was seated near the door and the cold weather draft was really bad so I had to wear my jacket while eating. Hopefully they install something to help with the draft during winter months as I can imagine this might get an issue with the heat during the summer too. But I will definitely come back and it was pretty packed even though they're new. Tells you how good this place is! read more

clean, spacious and comfortable. But more importantly the food was really good. They specialize in noodles both soup and dry. They have lots of soup options, something for everyone. Dry noodles with braised items, we tried the braised tripe it was really flavorful. They also have appetizers, some really interesting such as the coconut lava balls, sweet potato mochi fill with coconut sago. The quality of the ingredients were fresh and the soup was soothing and delicious, would def come back esp when it gets colder. read more

Ji Bei Chuan has a few locations across NYC and I've passed by plenty of times. We stopped by this past Saturday, and the food and service were honestly incredible I'm a bit ashamed that I put this place off for so long. The interior is clean and modern, brightly lit with hanging lights, and small greenery here and there. The staff were warm, friendly, and knowledgable, and provided exceptional service. We asked our server if their drinks could be made with no sugar and she literally broke down each drink for us. They have an amazing set menu where you can choose from one of three rice noodles (mala spicy pork intestine, silken tofu w/ fish slices, or tomato beef brisket), one of three appetizers (spicy flaked sausages, fried tofu, or wood-ear salad), and one of two drinks (passion fruit sparkling juice or plum juice) for just $17.95. We ordered two sets and thought they were so worth it! * Tomato Beef Brisket Rice Noodles 番茄牛腩米粉 I loveddd this one! The soup wasn't as tomatoey as I expected it to be, but it was still delicious, and the chewy rice noodles, tender beef brisket, and plentiful ingredients more than made up for it. * Mala Spicy Pork Intestine Rice Noodles 麻辣肥肠米粉 I'm not a fan of pork intestine (my sister is!), but the broth here was right up my alley. It typically comes with 3 chili pepper signs, but you can ask for less. My sister asked for 2 and still choked on the spice (smh), whereas I thought it could've been spicier. * Ji's Fried Tofu 老季炸豆腐 * Spicy Flaked Sausage 馋嘴香肠 Both were incredibly delicious and tasted far less oily than they looked. The fried tofu was crispy, soft, and bouncy, and paired nicely with the sweet side sauce, while the spicy flaked sausage had that nice snap to it. * Passion Fruit Sparkling Juice 百香果气泡水 Sweet, tangy, lemony, and fizzy all in one-- with passion fruit jam, lemon juice, and Sprite soda. read more

Look out for their combo deals, when they first opened they were giving out tumblers and for this month it's $17 combo deals that comes with appetizer and a drink. Strong broth flavor. One of the broth was too spicy for me and when asked if we can dilute it with regular broth the lady pretty much was confused and then gave me half a bowl and state we don't do this at all. Mix noodles no good - not a lot of flavor. Newly renovated and clean. Wish they were quicker on refilling water. read more

New noodle spot opened up on 86st so I had to go try it. I ordered the seafood tomyum soup. I'm a pescatarian so I was happy to a lot of fish only options in their menu. While the soup and noodles tasted great, I docked a few points because I found meat chunks on the bottom of my soup. I was not expecting this and I'm a bit disappointed because I ordered the seafood option. With my dietary restrictions, I'm okay if there's meat made in soup but I just can't eat the meat - I can't imagine how this would affect folks who have stricter food restrictions. read more

Can easily digest. Bone soup rice noodles with chicken slices are the best. Very delicious with smoothness. 2 pots are fulfilling for 3 people. Would come back again for more. read more

take out review: got their special noodle dish with the chicken and fish. portions are HUGE and we also got the beef tripe. the beef tripe was so tender and flavorful. the noodles itself are yummy and not too heavy. they give a lot of the other ingredients in the dish such as woodear mushroom, chicken, fish and the cabbage. they definitely do not skimp out. read more

I actually went again within a week of my first visit. I've been to other new Chinese fast casuals on 86st in the meantime and have new thoughts about Ji Bei Chuan. I wasn't interested in other soup bases besides the fish mushroom one that I had already, so I decided to try their dry noodles. They have a scallion oil option that's not spicy and the szechuan spicy sauce option. I got the scallion oil noodles with beef brisket. The noodles are the same rice noodles as the soup option. It won't be too stiff or sticking together in this dry version, but I prefer the rice noodles in soup. It makes the noodles more slippery and smooth. They give different sides than the soup option. It comes with cilantro, cucumber, peanuts, and a whole marinated chicken egg (instead of quail egg in the soup version). I think I miss having all the mushrooms and tofu. Surprised they bother with a different egg, but also it was way overcooked with a grey/green yolk. Flavorwise, the scallion oil wasn't scallion forward enough for me. It seemed stronger in soy sauce. The oiliness was tolerable. The beef brisket was better than expected. It was very soft. Flavor wasn't particularly good or bad, but it's definitely not spicy like they had warned in advance. Overall it's not bad, better than I was afraid it'd be. It's tolerable but I won't say the scallion oil tastes good. It will easily become offensive to me on a bad day. Therefore, I don't think I'll go with dry noodles next time. I will go back to the broth options since I like their sides more anyway. I'm open to getting broth options with beef brisket (perhaps try tomato soup next time). The seats here are comfortable and décor is modern. Boss and employees speak Cantonese. Service is quite attentive for fast casual. The music is a daily playlist based on a specific singer (Miriam Yeung the first time, GEM the second time) which are aight. Coming out smelly exists but tolerable. The biggest problem is the msg of the broth. I can't control whether my family feels thirsty after eating it. It's acceptable to me. Taking in the above factors and considering the local competition, I think this is one of the best overall. read more

I appreciate that their appetizer menu is much more extensive than 10 second noodle, and my absolute favorite was their cucumber salad. Their dressing was delicious!

Ji Bei Chuan Authentic Asian Noodles - R7. Tomato Soup Beef Slices Rice Noodles R7. - Noodles Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Review is based on delivery from doordash. The order came quickly and was packaged nicely. We had the chicken soup with noodles and mixed beef with secret scallion sauce. The packaging was nearly identical to Ten Seconds Yunnan. I noticed their prices are also comparable. The mixed beef noodles had intestines, shank, tripe and a soy sauce egg. The seasoning on the dish was underwhelming compared to something similar at Ten Seconds Yunnan. The quantity of beef items were fair given they were all thinly sliced. The scallion secret sauce was nearly undetected. It was $17 on doordash (cheaper ordering direct) so I was expecting some good flavors but it fell short. read more
