Popped in here for some lunch and it was really nice! I asked for recommendations and they were very helpful. The Singaporean laksa had some real nice flavor to it, though I do wish there was a bit more variety of the toppings. The inside is nice and spacious and there's free WiFi if you need to do any work! Will come back and try some of the other dishes. read more

Noodle craft is a nice spot for lunch. Noodles were good, needed to give it a good mix to get all the flavors. Lacked a little salt for everything in general. Popcorn chicken and spicy dumplings were regular, nothing to make it outstanding, but still delicious. The place is like a lunchroom. Not sure if we were just supposed to go take our own seats. There was no one to greet us as the ordering station is all the way in the back and all the staff were just hanging out around there. Service was odd, the server did not come check on us and when we needed something we just went to the ordering station. Please note, when we went it was pretty much empty, so it was not busy at all. As mentioned not sure how it supposed to work here, but we did get our food fairly quick. The place is cute, lots of plants, looks like a very big space, believe it used to be a garage. Overall food was filling, able to share if needed, give it a try. Its definitely a nice addition to LIC. read more

Some of the best noodle soup I have tried in Long Island City. I would recommend the signature beef noodle soups. I like it spicy. Like drinking the soup and makes you feel full and joyful. Maybe a little pricey because majority is noodle in the bowl and not much meat. But overall is a good restaurant to go to again. read more

Good decor, speedy service, and good for fast casual. Portion sizes are huge, so I definitely recommend sharing! But nothing out of the ordinary. One thing to note is that the dan dan noodles here were better than other places that I have tried. That one caught me off by a surprise and I would come back here for it! read more

Really cute and cheap Asian eats spot! The milk teas are only $4-5 and the Honeydew Flavor with the Jelly is so refreshing (but very sweet). The Taiwanese Salt & Pepper Chicken was crunchy and well-seasoned, though I wish it had come with a sauce. The Lotus Leaf Wrapped Sticky Rice was super authentic and aromatic. We also got the Signature Beef Noodle Soup with no spice and the broth was still super flavorful, the beef cuts tender, and the noodles cooked well. The interior design is interesting- it's designed to look like a food hall, with the kitchen as the food stall. There is plenty of seating for a large group. Our food came out quickly. read more

We were walking in the Long Island City neighborhood. One could easily miss this tucked away noodle place. Unfortunately, the chef for hand pulled noodle was gone for the day so we were not able to order that. we chose round noodles. The service was quick. Braised beef soup was delicious and the chucks of meat was very tender. Having carrots and boy choy was visually appealing. I could not finish the soup and asked for a to go box. They gave me two containers. One for noodles and another for soup so that noodles do not absorb all the soup! We also ordered Classic Lan Zhou noodles which was delicious. As this was our first time, we did not know that we could seat and order from a long table. It is good to know that one could stay in Long Island City and enjoy Chinese noodle soup! I hope we can try the hand pulled noodles next time. read more

Noodlecraft is surprisingly bigger than I thought inside. They have a decent amount of dim sum dishes. I got their shrimp dumplings and pork shu La and enjoyed them! I also had their braise beef noodle soup and their Malaysian laksa. In the beef noodle soup, I liked the broth and their noodles, but the Malaysian laksa really stood out to me! I found the dish to be extremely flavorful and really enjoyed the broth! read more

Visiting my cousin in a snow filled day. Her husband ordered to go and brought it back to the house to eat. I was skeptical to eat to go noodles at first, because Asian soup filled noodles are usually best at the restaurant served fresh. The noodles arrived in separated containers of brother and noodles with all the meat in another container, impressed! The broth was still steaming hot to the point where I did not need to reheat it on the stove. I ordered the spicy beef stew noodles. Lots of pieces of meat, brother was very tasty and not bland, had just enough salt and spice. Appetizers of hargow and suimai dumplings were delicious. Bbq pork baos were soft and warming, everything was delicious! Thank you Noodlecraft for a warming delicious meal in a snowy day, read more

Ambiance (5/5): There's plenty of seating inside with a window to watch the staff make their noodles from scratch! The décor reminds me of the classic street food in Asia. Service (5/5): Their chopsticks are unique with disposable front ends for sanitary reasons! The service was prompt and staff was courteous. Wonton in Chili Oil (5/5): Very flavorful and the chili oil was a nice addition. It's not super spicy! Braised Beef Noodle Soup (4/5): The beef chunks were generous in portion but I wished that they had more flavor infused in them. The broth was flavorful and rich with meat flavors--it tasted very authentic to Taiwanese flavors. I liked the thickness and chewiness of their noodles. The table chili sauce was a must-have to elevate the bowl. read more

They certainly craft noodles well at Noodlecraft! One of the better noodle bowls I've had in NYC. The noodles were fresh and hand made. The service was quick and efficient. And the price was fair. Best of all, there were lots of tables and seats, which is a rarity at most noodle shops! Recommend coming here for a quick and satisfying noodle fix. read more

-- Chicken noodle soup with flat pulled noodles -- Ever had a bowl of soup that felt like a warm hug from someone who actually cares about you? That's what this Chinese chicken hand-pulled noodle soup was, comfort in a bowl, just the right amount of sass. First off, the noodles. Hand-pulled right before my eyes like a magician pulling scarves from a hat. They were chewy, bouncy, and clearly made with love (and possibly mild frustration). Slurping them was both satisfying and slightly dangerous for my shirt. Bonus point for the different hand pull noodle options! The chicken? They were shredded chicken breast it practically whispered to me with every bite. Floating around in that golden, savory broth like it knew it was the main character. And the broth--let's talk about it. It had depth, warmth, and enough flavor to make me consider proposing marriage on the spot. -- Pan fried chicken & corn dumplings-- The chicken and corn pan-fried dumplings are little golden pillows of joy that made my taste buds do cartwheels. The outside? Perfectly crispy--like they just rolled out of a spa treatment in hot oil and came out glowing. The inside? Juicy chicken and sweet corn, working together like an award-winning buddy cop duo: one's savory, one's sweet, and together they fight crime (and my hunger). I don't know who thought to put corn in a dumpling, but they deserve a raise, a hug, and maybe a street named after them. Every bite was a crunchy, steamy, flavor-packed miracle that made me question why I've wasted years on dumplings without corn. I ate one. Then another. Then six more. I blacked out somewhere around dumpling #9. Would I do it again? Absolutely. These dumplings didn't just hit the spot--they threw a party there. If you're cold, hungover, heartbroken, or just hungry for something soulful, this place has your back. 12/10--would slurp again, and probably embarrass myself doing it. read more

Scallion pancake and shiu mai were SO good (not pictured)! The shiu mai was a small portion but it has a quality taste to it in my opinion. I would definitely recommend getting these two dishes for your visit. The Shanghai Cold Noodle was also delicious! I got it with the egg noodle and it hit the spot! Ambiance was nice and staff were attentive and friendly! read more

Walking into Noodlecraft, I was reminded of a food court with the long tables. I loved the neon lights, lanterns, and the umbrellas on the ceiling. I was greeted upon entering and led to a table. My order was taken shortly after, and I didn't have to wait long for the food. The chopsticks they use are so interesting. I like how there are disposable tips to insert into reusable handles. The Classic Lan Zhou Beef Noodle Soup was spicy, and the noodles were chewy. There was also a generous portion of meat. The Strawberry Bubble Milk Tea didn't have much flavor. I didn't taste much of the strawberry flavor or tea. The bubbles were flavorless and while they weren't soggy just yet, they weren't chewy. read more

Minced pork, peanut, cucumber & sesame paste Pan-Fried Noodle Cabbage , carrot & green onion ADDED shrimp and fried egg My personal favorite was the Pan fried noodles.

This noodle shop has some yummy Beef shank noodle soup; Meat was really tendered and very well seasoned- broth was also rich, but not too salty; the Knife cut noodles was not as bouncy as I would liked though. Aside from my bowl of noods- I also enjoyed the Pumpkin buns with Egg yolk filling (comes out piping hot). The dish that really missed the mark was the Popcorn Chicken- it was over-fried, dark and dry; the salt and pepper seasoning tasted a bit off. This shop has an open space concept with bright tall ceilings and hanging lights- and bench seatings. Overall, would like to come back for that bowl of noodle again read more

Anytime someone is chill and still nice to us after my toddler spills or drops food on the floor, I gotta give them credit! Such a warm and cute environment. The noodles were nice and Q. The broth in the vegetarian noodle was on the lighter side. All the flavors here are on the light and refreshing side. My daughter loved the egg custard dim sum, which she called dragon eggs. The cucumber was nice and refreshing and also lighter flavored. Cute interior and a great spot for a satisfying bowl of noodles! read more

Came here twice - it's decent food for the area though a bit pricier than what I'm accustomed to. The space is cute and has an outdoor vendor vibe with neon lights.

My friends and I sat there for awhile to catch up and were never rushed. read more

This place used to be great, was my go-to spot for noodles in LIC, especially the chicken noodle and laksa. Not sure what happened recently, since 2026 started, the food quality decreased by quite a lot. Chicken weren't sliced like it was used to and tasted like overcooked rubber. Even the green onions weren't properly chopped. I hope it's not a permanent change and the chef just having an off day, but I really hope I can enjoy the same quality as before. read more

I really like the interior design here; you walk inside and feel live you've been transported to the other side of the world. I ordered the classic Lan Zhou noodles with knife sliced noodles. It was quite flavorful and filling for the price. My friend and I ordered the same level of spice, but his came out significantly spicier, so they may have made a mistake there, but otherwise everything was quite nice. read more

I've passed by this place a few times and always noticed the cool Hong Kong-style posters and cafeteria style setup. I finally got to go inside today and got some dim sum staples: bbq pork bun, pork dumplings, and duck dumplings. I was really pleasantly surprised by how good the duck dumplings were - there was a mix of things inside that helped to enhance the duck flavor. The outside of the duck dumplings are a mochi style covering which is a fun twist on the typical dumpling. The bbq pork bun was typical but delicious. The pork dumplings were great - just a note they come 4 to a dish vs the typical 6 to a dish. We were served quickly and everything was hot and ready to eat. One thing to note is their chopsticks are unique: they come with wooden tips that you plug into the main chopstick frame. Maybe it's something others' are used to, but it was new and unconventional for me - but I really like that concept since it wastes less wood and the chopsticks feel more durable. I really want to come back when it's a little colder and try their hot noodle soups and chili oil wontons. I do want to enjoy summer a little longer, but I can't wait for when I crave these warming dishes in winter. read more

Came here with a friend for an earl dinner on Wednesday and was impressed with the quality and taste! I had a Braised Beef Noodle Soup and split a Wonton Soup with my friend. The Braised Beef Noodle Soup is probably one of the best I've had in NYC; I always like to try Beef Noodle Soup at Chinese/Taiwanese restaurants and this is definitely one of the 2 or 3 best ones I've had. The braised beef was super tender, the noodles were fresh, and the broth wasn't too heavy but still flavorful. The Wontons were also solid; not too doughy and packed good flavor. Service was quick and attentive. There's also a lot of space in the restaurant so it's good for both larger groups and small parties. I look forward to coming back and trying different dishes on the menu! read more

solid noodle joint in long island city! huge seating area, cute decorations, quick service, and lots of restrooms LOL. they have a decent menu selection, boasting appetizers to hot dishes to plenty of noodles (of course). we opted for what looked like the most popular on google and yelp: the lanzhou classic beef noodle soup. now i'm a noodles lover, so my criteria for noodles is quite expansive and quite high. having tried a decent number of noodle places around the world, i can confidently say that noodlecraft is among my favorite beef noodle soup dishes! the noodles, the texture and the consistency, are very easy to slurp. the broth is delicious, not too heavy or salty. and just perfect to keep you slurping for more. they do give a generous portion of beef too. we also ordered their XLB - this was decent. not amazing or mind-blowing, but this is not what they're known for (hence the restaurant name). solid place to satisfy your noodle cravings! read more

I came here for lunch on Sat around 12:06pm, they open around 12pm, and about 2/3 of the tables were full already. Once we sat down, more people filed in and soon the place was packed! I like the interior decor, nice and open! For apps we got the popcorn chicken (this was delicious and juicy!!), and the sliced beef in chili oil (love the spicy kick). For the noodle soups you can pick from 5 types of noodles. I got the laksa with knife cut noodles; this was my first time having laksa so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was creamy kind of like curry but then I could taste the coconut milk. Interesting flavors. My bf got the lan zhou beef noodle soup with roung noodles (the broth was pretty good!). The noodle soups were great for a nice winter cold day. I would come back to try the dimsum and/or the other dishes as well. read more

Decent noodle place in LIC. Everything was served pretty fast and the portions were large. The cucumbers were refreshing and had a good crunch although it did not have a strong flavor. The soup was good and had alot of meat inside but the noodles were a little flavorless. The dandan noodles were also surprisingly bland but you could add soy sauce and chili oil from the table. That being said, it was still good for a quick affordable meal. My favorite thing was the Fried pumpkin with egg yolk. It was crispy, not too sweet with perfect salted egg yolk oozing out of each bite. read more

All I can say is wow! Behind an unassuming exterior is a noodle-lovers heaven. The inside of the restaurant makes you feel like you're eating inside a large mess hall or cafeteria decorated with Taiwanese night market vibes. They have so many kinds of noodles, both soups and pan fried, as well as many appetizers that reminded me of home. My fiance and I split the braised beef noodle soup, a pan-fried chicken noodle soup, and their salt and pepper chicken. The portions were huge, but we finished every last bit - it was that good! They have several options for noodle type, such as wide or round, but you can't really go wrong. Service was super efficient. Love this spot! read more

Would come again! Food (5/5) - A mean laksa with knife cut noodles, no notes. Got the lanzhou noodles with hand pulled noodles, non-spicy, broth was clear, not greasy. Fried wontons in chili oil were solid, chili oil is more pungent than spicy which I'm used to and prefer. Steamed custard buns were actually liquid on the inside which was very welcome. Price (4/5) - Pretty decent for NYC, ~15 for a bowl of noodles, sides / apps run 5-10. Ambiance and service (5/5) - Casual, brightly lit, has a cafeteria vibe or a much more spacious cha chaan teng (Canton eatery, staff speaks canto). Service was fast, place was clean, staff were really friendly. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place on a whim and discovered a gem! Noodlecraft is not only beautiful on the inside, the hand-pulled noodles are amazing here too. We tried the popcorn chicken which was fried perfectly with juicy morsels of chicken as an appetizer. We were in the mood for dry noodles so we tried 3 separate types: the zha jian noodles (which have a rich saucy umami taste), the cold noodles with stredded chicken, and the dan dan noodles. All three were excellent but if I had to choose two only, I would get the zha jian noodles and the dan dan noodles. Service here is great, very friendly, although they do get busy due to the traffic here. Also tried the boba which was surprisingly decent given that drinks are not their main focus. Definitely a must try in LIC. In a place with great asian food, noodlecraft still stands out. read more

the best noodles in long island city period. what else can I say great soups, noodles and more noodles

This casual Chinese eatery in Long Island City features a variety of home-style dumplings, soups, and noodle dishes. We have grown accustomed in the West of thinking of noodles or pasta as a sort of side show - simply a flavor-neutral vessel or canvas for sauce, or at best a glutinous accessory in a soup or stew. Noodle Craft, as the name suggests, hopes to refocus our attention. The layout of the restaurant is expansive, and it extends deeper than you expect with a sleek appearance and lots of ornamental lamps, umbrellas, and signs along the ceiling. To the right, you'll likely find a man behind a glass window hand pulling dough into the very noodles served in your bowl. The menu is an approachable length, which is slightly unusual from a traditional Chinese restaurant but welcome. Quality over quantity, right? We started with a few appetizers, which included the Steamed Shrimp Shumai, Steamed Duck Dumplings, and Taiwanese Salt and Pepper Chicken. All were well-seasoned and tasty, with the lightly fried nuggets of chicken drawing special praise. The Classic Lan Zhou Beef Noodle Soup was awesome as well, with a healthy amount of meat that had the right balance of fattiness and structure, some fresh herbs and sliced bok choy, and, of course, the chewy noodles. The broth was unctuous and savory with some lingering sourness. A great choice whether it's a hot day or a cold one. A fairly unique concept that is executed well and comes at a more than reasonable price. Noodle Craft is definitely worth a pop in if you are in the area. read more

Pretty fast service and good food, I think pretty cheap too for the amount of food that you get. I think the dan dan noodles were amazing and were mixed well with the greens which actually added too to the noodles. I also got some chicken dumplings which was maybe too much food for one person but also great and had so many different good to share with group of friends. I do think the taro milk tea I got was not a highlight and I don't think I liked the mix or flavor of it as it wasn't as sweet as I generally like. read more

The Lan Zhou Beef Noodle Soup was a perfect dinner option for the fall weather we've has been having! There is a generous portion of noodles, which were very yummy. The broth is great too. My friends ordered it spicy but I ordered mild and added the spice to taste, since there is chili oil at the table, which was a great decision, considering my lower spice tolerance. It did slightly longer than expected for the food to come out, and the appetizer came out once we had been eating for 10min. Although once they did arrive, the wontons were served hot! I'd come back, affordable prices and good food! read more
