Beef brisket and tomato soup rice noodle
Justin L.

The service here is just top notch and is one of the reasons why I keep coming back! I love how friendly their staff is and how patient they are as well. I highly recommend their meal deals which are so affordable where you can get a noodle dish, appetizer and drink for a set price under $20. Their fish maw chicken noodle soup is also very good as well and one of my favorites. If you don't already have one - be sure to get a stamp card so that you can work towards a free bowl of noodles after visiting multiple times! They're usually not super busy when I visit on weekends so you don't really need a reservation - just walk right in! Highly recommend this spot for some comfort food and if you're craving some noodles.

Awesome spot to grab dinner with some friends. I came on a weeknight around 7:15 and was able to get seated right away.. the entire menu looked great, and portions were bigger than I expected. Really liked my short rib noodles and my friend enjoyed her dish too. Casual spot, service was quick but not rushed. Would definitely come back!!

Tomato Soup Beef Slices Rice Noodles, Jis Fried Tofu, Jis Fish Maw Soup Rice Noodles(Without Chicken), Passion Fruit Sparkling Juice

Came here for lunch on Wednesday at 1:30pm and were seated right away. I got the combo deal tomato soup rice noodles with beef slices, fried tofu, and passionfruit sparkling drink which was a great deal for $17.95. There was a significant amount of stuff (cabbage, tomato, fried tofu, enoki mushroom) in the soup and it was really filling. Service was fast and attentive; we got our food within five minutes of ordering. Only thing I would say is that the passionfruit drink was too sweet for me otherwise a solid choice to dine at if you're craving noodle soups.

R1 Chicken Soup Rice Noodle - so so delicious and very filling ($17)
Li W.

My coworker and I popped in on a weekday for dine-in lunch, and there were plenty of seats. I got the R1. Supreme Fish Maw Chicken Soup Rice Noodles based on her recommendation and WOW that broth. So so flavorful, I can't wait to have it again. Next time I'd probably order the R2, which is the same item but without chicken pieces, because I was so full and couldn't finish the chicken pieces. Service was quick, everything looked clean. I look forward to being back!

Delicious fish tofu & mushroom noodles soup and the pot they provide keeps it hot longer! So perfect for a chilly winter night and the staff is very friendly & attentive. Located in a very convenient location in Chinatown and spacious restaurant.

Huge portions of yunnan rice noodle, with some interesting flavors that I haven't seen at other rice noodle shops! I shared the fish maw and chicken and mala flavor noodles with my partner. They come in a huge stoneware bowl and is quite hot and retains heat well. I liked the mala tang the most, but enjoyed trying the fish maw and chicken. Service was fast and friendly. There was plenty of seating in the restaurant and could accommodate larger groups. Rice noodles feature most prominently, but there are plenty of other noodles and rice dishes too.

Love this place. The noodles are super flavorful. The tea is also very good. Staff are friendly and patient, and you can get a stamp card to become a regular. Portions are good size.

Second time here at Ji Bei Chuan and their noodle soups do not miss! Tried the sauerkraut fish noodle soup this time and it was amazing! The R1 special fish maw is always a must-get! Happy hour 20% off for dine in between 3-6pm Mondays-Fridays really cuts the bill! Love this place!

First time here. The noodles are absolutely delicious. I ate it for two days because the portions were so big. Get it spicy. Gives it the perfect kick! Tender and well cooked meat. I would pass on the pumpkin pancake. It's good. Has red bean in it but I think it's reheated.

I was craving soup noodles in this cold weather and stopped by Ji Bei Chuan to check out their chicken fish maw soup. The soup was hearty and rich, with strong chicken and fishy flavors. It was exactly what I needed! The rice noodles 米粉 were also solid and reminded me of the noodles I grew up eating at Hong Kong cafes. It came with several tender chicken pieces (dark meat) and four pieces of silky fish naw. Because the soup was already well-seasoned, the chicken which was also seasoned itself became a little too salty. The noodles also came with some veggies and mushrooms. You can add additional toppings to any noodle soup and I wish got more mushrooms. My friends' fish and tofu noodle soup and tomato beef noodle soup were both solid. Theirs were a part of the lunch set, which came with a choice of appetizers and a drink. The fried tofu and earwood mushrooms were both good, pretty standard. Staff were nice and helpful. Food came out quick. I really appreciate how the noodles were piping hot and remain hot in their stone pots - but be careful cause it can burn you. The prices were also very solid - $50-60ish was enough for my party of 3 to walk out with stuffed bellies and leftovers!

I've been to this chain a few times at different locations including this one. Originally I tried their recommended supreme fish maw, which features a light broth with their signature ingredient, fish maw. Overall, I thought the dish was good, although personally I wasn't a fan of the texture of the fish maw itself (3/5). Later I've also tried their other flavors including the sauerkraut fish and the chicken dry toss noodles and enjoyed these much more (5/5). The service here is very quick.

Been here a few times and it's pretty good. The rice noodle soups always hits on a cold day. We ordered their tom yum and mala soups and both were flavorful. The wood ear salad is yummy and the mixed beef was okay. The service is fast.

Chicken Fish Maw Soup Rice Noodles

This is a big franchise in China, followed with the flushing one this one is pretty new to Chinatown. It's not really traditional yuanan cross bridge style nor the Guilin style. But a mixture offering soup base and dry options. There are many soup base flavor tailor to different taste you just need to choose your protein. I tried their R1 fish maw chicken noodle soup, I was surprised that how bland it tastes, the broth also didn't contain much collagen that it supposed to, instead it tastes water down. There are maybe one four pieces of chicken and minimum toppings, I guess $17 don't get much. The portion is normal, I was able to finish everything including the broth. Appetizer crispy pork was not crispy. Soggy and flavorless I had to ask for extra chili flakes to enhance the flavor. The brown sugar rice cake is nice, deep friend and covered with brown sugar and syrup.

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I missed a call and literally two minutes later the call came through again and the woman yelled at me - "hurry up hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" said the driver was waiting 10-15 minutes for me, which was simply untrue - I got a call literally two minutes before- just rude. Added a screenshot in case the owner doubles down that it was 15 mins. Guess the first call was from the delivery driver, and the second was from the restaurant itself. ‍ But the really disappointing part is that they didn't pack any soup separate from the noodles! - So my chicken dumpling noodle soup basically had no soup - don't know if they forgot it or if it was absorbed by the noodles but most restaurants at this point know to pack the broth and the noodles separately,- so I ended up having to add some of my own vegetable broth, which totally was not the flavor I was hoping for. So - love the food, but delivery service leaves a lot to be desired - next time I'll try giving instructions to pack the soup separate from the noodles and see if that helps!

Dinner for one at Buddakan turned into one of those rare experiences where the setting is nearly as…read morememorable as the food. Located within the historic Chelsea Market building--a former Nabisco factory where Oreo cookies were first produced--the restaurant feels theatrical in the best possible way. The soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting, and energetic atmosphere create a sense of occasion from the moment you walk in. It feels less like simply going out to dinner and more like stepping into a beautifully staged production. I started with a Botanist Gin Martini with a twist, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The surprise star of the evening was the new Cucumber Tiger Salad. The balance of flavors was exceptional: bright acidity, a pleasant touch of heat, and just enough mint to make each bite feel fresh and exciting. Every so often the mint would come through and suddenly all the flavors would click together in a way that made me immediately want another bite. This is a dish I would happily order again. Next came the Edamame Dumplings. They were delicate and comforting, especially when enjoyed with the accompanying broth. The broth adds depth and richness that elevates the entire dish. My only suggestion would be the slightest touch more salt, perhaps even a finishing sprinkle of black volcanic salt for both flavor and presentation. I also found myself wishing there were a bit more of that delicious broth because it contributes so much to the overall experience. For my entrée, I ordered the Glazed Alaskan Black Cod, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation. The fish was rich, buttery, and perfectly prepared. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully the accompaniments were composed. The pickled cucumbers brought brightness, acidity, and crunch, while the black bean and eggplant relish delivered deep savory notes and unexpected complexity. I'm generally not an eggplant fan, but this relish was outstanding. The cucumbers and relish sit at opposite ends of the flavor spectrum, yet both somehow make the cod even better. Looking back, I think a glass of Sauvignon Blanc alongside the cod would have been the perfect pairing. I finished with the Miso Caramel Milk Bar, which was spectacular. Decadent, sweet, salty, and touched with just enough umami to keep every bite interesting. The chocolate crumble underneath added a wonderful crunch that contrasted beautifully with the creamy ice cream and luscious caramel sauce. Every component worked together perfectly, creating a dessert that was both indulgent and sophisticated. From start to finish, the meal felt polished, thoughtful, and memorable. Thank you!

The interior is absolutely chic and maximalist--I felt transported into a different world once I walked down the gigantic staircase into the main dining area. The lights were low, and the walls in the room we were seated in were covered with bookshelves lined by golden books. We ordered the dim sum tasting, the short rib, the lobster fried rice, and the brussels sprouts. The dim sum was a true standout for me--especially the egg roll, which was full of shrimp, meat, and veggies and paired with a delicious creamy sauce. The short rib was also amazing. The bed of mushrooms and noodles it was served on was flavorful and the meat was so tender it melted in your mouth. The drinks were good as well, specifically the lychee martini (I forget its name). Overall, I am glad to have had this dining experience, and recommend it.

Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top.

The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
