Everything was super quick. The restaurant is a little small and crowded but that's pretty on brand for the UWS. Food is always fresh and HOT. I've tried a number of their noodles dishes and never been disappointed, however, I always come back for the wings and the rice cakes. read more

These are decent noodles - the broth is super rich and definitely shines, literally everything else in the bowl (noodles, pork, corn, seaweed) were pretty mid. Idk if the bamboo shoots were marinated but they also had great flavor. The cucumber salad is also good but way too small. Service was quick and the food came out fast. The space is small but isn't too cramped in all things considered. I would go back when I need a quick noodle fix. read more

Tiny and pretty cramped store, but soooo worth a visit. Staff are friendly and efficient and get food out incredibly quickly. I got the classic rice noodle soup and it more than hit the spot on a super rainy evening. The portions are big and the noodles are silky and the toppings are abundant, but the standout component for me was really the broth: so so savory and perfectly balanced. I was just here but I can't wait to come back! read more

We came here for dinner as I was craving ramen and I'm so glad we tried out this new spot. It can be really hard to find flavorful ramen when you're vegetarian but they have nailed it. They had the perfect ratio of vegetables, tofu, fake meat, and noodles and unlike a lot of ramen places the amount of broth was exactly correct. The ramen was very flavorful and had a nice spicy kick to it. We also got the cucumbers and I really enjoyed the spicy and garlic taste. The cucumbers were crunchy but not too hard. The scallion pancakes were also really good. Most of the time I find them to be oily but these are crispy without all the oil. Ambiance: a casual dining spot that clearly is a favorite spot for locals. Service: everyone was very nice and even gave us suggestions on different things we may like. read more

The ramen here is velvety and rich. Perfect for a chilly fall day after a walk in Central Park. The place is tiny so you may have to wait 10 minutes or so but it's well worth it. The consistent crowd is a great sign that they're doing something right. The staff is cordial and efficient. We look forward so going back and even ordering something for takeout. read more

I came with my family to get some soup and noodles on a rainy day. We got soup dumplings, scallion pancake, tomato ramen, miso ramen, and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was good, my favorite were probably the Dan Dan noodles and the scallion pancake. Even though is a small place, the accommodated us, a group of 7, very quickly. The food came also quick and the staff were nice. read more

This is a small noodle place that has some chinese noodle dishes. the price is UWS price so it is considered a bit pricy. the servie was fast, didnt take much time to get the bowl in front of me. I had the rice noodle soup. the broth is a bit too spicy to my taste even I like spicy but some types of spicy kinda ruins the flavor. but the bowl has a lot of veges inside which is nice. The scallion oil noodle is tasty but really pricy for that portion. it's still a great option for a quick delicious fix in the area read more

I've eaten at Simply Noodles quite a few times in the past two years and the experience has always been excellent. The people are lovely, the service prompt and the food is tasty as can be. I'm particularly fond of the pork buns and the Dan Dan noodles. My friend often takes one of their big noodle bowls with lots of yummy broth. The only thing I've not been impressed with is the soup dumplings which I've found to be OK, but not exceptional. read more

Simply Noodle is within walking distance from Central Park. This place was a cute place that is a good stop if you are looking for a quick warm meal. It's very small with only around 6 tables, be prepared to get a gust of cold wind everytime the door opens as well. The servers were quick to take our orders and bring out the food. We ordered several dishes. - The dandan noodles were bouncy and the sauce was flavorful but I wish there were more of it. 4/5 - The spicy miso noodles (with chicken base) topped shredded vegan chicken was surprisingly good. The toppings of bamboo shoots, corns and seaweed were generous. 5/5 - Spicy scallion noodles with peanut was way too saucy. I expected dry with hint of sauce. 3/5 The only warning is be careful walking downstairs toward the bathroom (tight and spiral). read more

Got the kimchi noodles w veg broth and fish slices. I have to say that it was a cold cold night and most noodles would have hit the spot but these were just underwhelming. Just not seasoned enough. The noodles were definitely pasta and not ramen nor rice. Service was good enough and the ambience was cozy, clean. But the food definitely leaves a lot to be desired. I am not sure I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Simply Noodles - Kimchi rice noodle w veg broth and fish slices - Noodles Near Me - New York, New York

Consider this review a placeholder. We've been only once, but intend to go again. Soup dumplings were small (but more structurally stable than larger ones (thanks to physics); decently thin-skinned; and filled a small amount of soup and firm (not overly velveted / processed) innards. These were pretty good, among the better ones we've tried on the UWS, not by far the best in NYC. A salad of wood ear mushroom was quite basic, but pleasant enough. By the way, don't be turned off by the name if you aren't already familiar with this stuff. "Wood ear" (sometimes called the possibly even more alarming "black fungus") is NOT mushroomy and does not have the "fleshy" texture that some find off-putting when it comes to mushrooms. Instead, wood-ear has the loveliest crisp-tender texture. It's delicate in taste and texture, a mouthful of refined fun when properly prepared. I personally prefer spicier versions, i.e. as found at the western Chinese restaurants that are all the rage now in NYC. But Simply Noodle serves a good starter version for kiddos and spice wimps. I got my mycophobic littles to admit this dish was "okay". :) I would never have ordered cheesy shrimp balls of my own accord (I'm old fashioned and don't fully understand the appeal of seafood with dairy -- except possibly butter), but one of the littles requested them, so there we went. I found them interesting from a Hong Kong fusion-y perspective. Probably not a repeat for me personally, though, since Velveeta / Velveeta-like products are not my thing. Service: Accommodating, lovely, kind to all comers regardless of background. The woman and man working on the evening of our visit were... elegant I think is the best word. They were so accommodating and helpful and carried themselves with dignity and grace. It's not a balance that's always easy to strike under the circumstances. It's a tiny, bustling restaurant. We plan to come back to try the ramen and rice noodle soups... and that molten coconut lava something my older one has set his sights on! read more

Small intimate restaurant with limited seating. They specialize in crossing bridge rice noodle and there's a mural that explains the story behind the noodles. I got the Mala rice noodles with pork. The noodles was delicious, perfectly chewy, and the broth was very flavorful. The spice level is not too bad either. The noodles came in a stone bowl that keeps it hot so even at the end of my meal the broth was still warm. Food was 10/10. Service was quick and attentive. My water was refilled faster than I could drink. Overall a great little restaurant that I would love to come back and try other things on the menu. read more

This is a great little shop in the UES. The space is small- only 5 or 6 tables, but pleasant. The service was attentive and very speedy, don't expect to stay here too long or linger. The prices are extremely fair for the area, quality, and portion sizes. They have vegetarian ramen which is always great, I found the contents of the soup to be very tasty, especially the tofu, but the broth to be a little bit wanting for flavor, although still good. The rice noodles were coated in a delicious sauce, but the chicken was, as you can see, just boiled chicken. The noodle sauce was the only additional flavor. The stars of the show were the brown sugar rice cakes, which were a delectable combination of sweetness and mellow rice flavor. Overall would definitely recommend! read more

Love this sweet place near 72nd and Bway... To begin with... This cozy little UWS spot is impeccably clean. The eating area, the kitchen, the bathroom... The food is fabulous. Very tasty. All kinds of noodles, ramen, broth, soup, and more. Today, i had their delicious scallion pancakes, followed by soup dumplings. Wonderful. Plus, the atmosphere is calming and soothing. And the staff are fantastic, too. Very sweet and attentive. This is a special place. Thank you! read more

Got the spicy scallion oil noodles for takeout for $16. Service was very fast. I thought the portion size was a little small for the price, and only two slices of pork. That being said, it was filling and delicious. I wish it were a bit spicier or came with additional spicy sauce but would definitely come again, and hope to try some other dishes! read more

My cousin and I decided to stop here for lunch before our trip to the Grand Bazaar for their Sunday spring market. We arrived around 1pm and there was a 10-15 minute wait to get seated. The store is quite small and the interior is very simple. Once seated, our order was taken right away and we were served promptly. The food was very good and flavorful, and nothing was disappointing. I did want to order the tornado potato though, which isn't on the formal menu but is on a taped sheet of paper on the wall and they told me they were sold out. I'm not sure if it's a temporary thing or if it's gone or they are not planning to prepare this on certain days. Another thing is that while yhe dumplings were delicious, they were also quite small in size. Overall I'd come here again when I'm craving noodles on the UWS or looking for something warm on a chilly day. I'd recommend to anyone else in the area, or anyone looking for a nice lunch option before going to the Grand Bazaar market! read more

Came here on a Friday night and only had to wait around 10 minutes to be seated. The service is very fast and this isn't the type of place where you can loiter but I appreciate how quick you can order and get your food. I got the classic rice noodles and honestly it hits the spot if you're looking for a warm soupy noodle dish. Nothing about the dish is outrageous but it's solid and does the job. The soup is warming and I would definitely come back. The price is also super good especially for NYC. If you're looking for a quick homey soupy noodle dish, definitely check it out. read more

So delicious and fresh! Tried the veggie miso ramen, veggie spring rolls, wood ear fungus, vegetarian cold noodles, shui mai and chicken wings. My favorite were the veggie ramen , veggie spring roll, wings and wood ear fungus, but everything was flavorful!

A nice little noodle place that I will definitely be going back too. I got the spicy scallion oil noodles with chicken. It was very flavorful and filling. I didn't find it very spicy but it still had a satisfying kick to it. I also got the soap dumplings to go along with my meal, and so far those have been the best I've had on the Upper West Side. The service was very quick and the staff was friendly. The space has limited seating, so everyone might not get lucky with finding a spot to sit. read more

After trying the kimchi ramen, I upped the spice level and had the Mala Spicy Rice Noodles (2 ). I didn't find it very spicy either and preferred the Kimchi. Now I gave the spicy miso ramen ($17) a try. Again not very spicy. The menu says you can choose the meat you want in it. I forgot to tell them and they didn't ask so I got pork. I wasn't a fan of the pork before but it wasn't that bad this time, only a little fatty. I liked the flavor of the broth but I didn't feel like there was much in the dish overall. It felt like I was just eating broth and noodles. The staff were very friendly when I picked up my order and even wished me a nice weekend. I'm not sure I've ever heard that when I've gotten take out and yet such a simple gesture! read more

Ordered to-go from here because I was craving something soupy and warm for the cold weather. I love tomato-based noodles, so I decided to go ahead and order that for dinner. I loved how the noodles were separated from the broth when it arrived because it prevented them from bloating. The broth was rich and the meal had a lot of toppings that included seaweed, corn, cabbage, tomatoes, and egg. I thought it was worth the money I was paying for. The service was alright. Thought it was a bit slow because it took around an hour to arrive and they didn't provide me any napkins/utensils. Ambiance seemed pretty nice online, but again - I didn't go in-person.

Have not had a chance to dine in but have now done delivery a few times. Each time it's been super quick (only .5 miles from restaurant but still super fast). Food is piping hot and has great flavor.

Great containers to make the most of the experience but overall felt like slightly lacking in flavor depth. read more

Delicious meal! We stopped by for dinner. The space is cozy and small but the turnover was quick. We got the wonton and the ramen with beef.

Came here by myself for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I got seated right away but the restaurant was pretty packed. It was also kinda small so I won't recommend to come here with big groups. I got the mala rice noodle with sliced beef. The portion for the rice noodle was very big and they were very generous with the toppings. The broth was very tasty and the egg that it came with was perfectly cooked. I also like how they have a plastic bowl outside of the hot stone bowl to keep the noodle hot while preventing people from getting burned by the bowl. I'm very excited that I have finally found a spot that serves authentic rice noodle in the upper Manhattan area and I can't wait to come back in the future! read more

Overall disappointing. The good: service was fast and decently attentive but this is a small and casual restaurant so not many tables for the staff to miss. The not-good: the food. Chicken wings were good and that's about it. Xiao Long baos are not good and the ones from Trader Joe across the street might be better. Same for the scallion pancakes. Their dan dan noodles are not hand-pulled, everything tasted pre-made here. It's NYC so price is to be expected, but I would walk 2-3 more blocks in the rain for a better option than this. read more

Very disappointed with my experience here. The service feels simultaneously rushed and disorganized. The space/ ambiance makes you feel claustrophobic, but it's manhattan so that's normal. Here's the biggy. The food is really bad. Any of the dumplings you order (we ordered 2 types) feel store bought, and the Ramen is watery and noodles very bland. I just think they need to revisit the food they let out and the rest will solve itself. I wish this restaurant all the best, I won't be back. read more

You need to choose spicy noodle . It's quite spicy with 2 pieces of Chau Siu pork. The classic noodle base is not recommended. Sau lon bao is not recommended. I believe this shop is located well with cheaper dining option hence it is well rated. Service is nice and the server is friendly, it is really casual restaurant. There are 10 tables and it is a place to go for rush meal. If it is located in Flushing or in highly population Chinese community in North America , I will not choose this place to eat. read more

tldr; friendly and quick service, convenient location (be prepared for a brief wait), and tasty noodles to satisfy all your noodle cravings! The seating area is small, but we walked in for dinner on a busy Saturday evening at peak dinner time and it was only about a 15 minute wait. The waitress took our order as we were waiting for the table, and our food arrived promptly after we sat down. We had the chili oil peanut sauce dumplings, scallion oil noodles with mushroom, and the mala noodle soup pot. The dumplings were delicious, and the chili oil peanut butter sauce always hits the spot. The scallion oil noodles had strong umami flavor but was not overly greasy. Highly recommend the mala rice noodle soup if you like mala flavored dishes - the noodles were tender and "slippery", the soup was spicy and had plenty of peppercorns, and the portion was generous (though I still finished it and walked out with a noodle food baby). The soup toppings included fried tofu, soft boiled egg, and cabbage. We left satisfied and stuffed, for the low price of $26 after tip and tax. We'll definitely be back soon to try their other noodle dishes, the DanDan noodles especially. read more

This was a good, inexpensive choice for dinner. I had the vegetarian mala spicy noodles and a green tea. The noodles had a pleasant flavor, with moderate spice and tartness. The sichuan peppercorn aroma was strong, but not super numbing. I liked the variety of toppings, especially the cabbage - it was almost like a mala kimchi. The restaurant is quite small, but cozy. read more
