    We walked in and ordered with the woman behind the counter who was very friendly. We got 2 orders of noodles one with broth and one ginger and 2 orders of steamed dumplings. It took a little while to prepare since everything is made to order but to me that means it was super fresh. Its a small place so there are just stools against a wall with a bar to wait and eat. The servings are huge and the noodle container alone is heavy. The dumplings are perfectly cooked. Will definitely be back. Parking is just hard since the meters don't always work and there isn't always free parking available.

    Curry Stir Fry

    I've had hand pulled noodles before and it was so flavorful. So coming back years later was definitely cool. I went around 9pm. They close at 10pm. I ordered Curry stir fry noodles with Jackfruit, scallion pancakes , and a mango tea. I really enjoyed the noodles , they were so delicious and flavorful and addicting. I saved some for lynx for the next day at work haha. The scallion pancakes were pretty salty and honestly not my fave. The mango tea was tasty as hell! I like that they have different options for noodles that you can have with your meal. I would definitely go back for the noodles or dumplings! Staff were friendly and accommodating.

    Cumin noodle

    My husband and I have been loved the noodle! Their cumin noodle is very good and addictive we used to live in Washington heights but moved to NJ. I hope they would open a restaurant in NJ as well!!!

    Dapan Niu
    Raia S.

    Solid spot for noodles, I got the dapan niu from a friend's suggestion and even though was recommended the chopped ribbon noodles, stuck with the classic ribbon and I'm glad I did. There's something so satisfying about the long squishy noodles, they went really well with the rich stewy sauce and tender chunks of beef. I thought it was so interesting to find potatoes in addition to the typical peppers and onions, but it really worked. The pork and chive dumplings were just fine, I'd skip next time. But would go back for the noodles, perhaps the ginger scallion next time.

    The server was sweet and the food is AMAZING. The flavor is fresh and the noodles are perfectly done. Just a nice laid back place, limited seating, but easy to take to go as well. Portions are big and good balance of veggies and protein.

    Curry Stir Fry and broccoli.
    Rusty D.

    Wayyy too salty and also overly greased. The curry noodles were swimming in salt and oil. The broccoli was wonderfully garlicky but again, so overly salted it was a bit hard to consume. Go easy on the salt man!

    this place is so beautiful and honestly a great spot to enjoy some great food and awesome customer service. this spot is also a cute spot to take pictures and have a home like feeling!!!

    Dumplings

    Heard good things and sentiment was right. Phenomenal pulled noodles and excellent dumplings. Also tried the scallion pancakes which were delicious. I've been bored with standard Chinese in NJ so this was a breath of fresh air. It's kind of a hole in the wall setting so don't expect the Ritz by any means, too cold in the middle of winter to sit outside and there are a few seats and table available inside but we did takeout and it carried well (we did wolf down the scallion pancakes in the car before leaving lol). It's a very solid option.

    Everything was good, especially the stew beef noodles called Dapan Niu. The meat was soft and tender, and the sauce was so favorable. It was my favorite. I think my shrimp wontons in the broth could have been more favorable. It was lacking something. The pork and chive dumplings were amazing. It was like eating their scallion pancakes, but in a ball form, they were my kids' favorite. As for the noodles, I got the traditional stir fry with added chicken and the cumin stir fry. Although the flavors were there, they were ok. I think it's better to dine in on the spot. The time I got home, they were all stuck together, and they began to break, and that just changed the whole experience. The place is really small inside, but it gave a very intimate vibe. You were able to sit at countertop tables nestled up near the wall and by a window. The service was great. The guy who took my order was pleasant and explained the selection of noodles to me. I think the prices were decent. I would return to this restaurant. I'm giving two thumbs up. Happy Yelping!

    The food was delicious. I had the curry noodles it had great taste spicy but balanced. And the shrimp wanton soup it warmed my soul.

    Ordered two dishes with beef. Good portions of noodles, but they skimp on the protein. High margin for them, not great value for me.

    Ask the Community - The Handpulled Noodle

    Would I be able to order spicy ribbon noodles with just veggies?

    Does this restaurant serve halal meat/broth?

    Are the sauces safe for celiac (e.g. soy sauce has wheat in it?

    When my GF friend eats here with me they are able to get glass noodles (japchae) or rice noodles for the build your own stirfry. I don't believe these noodles are available for all dishes, however.

    They have a picture to promote calling the restaurant directly,how if the number listed doesn't work? ? Ok don not through the Yelp app. NYC restaurants should sue yelp. Your call through the app goes to grub hub and doesn't work

    You can go to the restaurant official website thehandpullednoodle.com and order directly from the restaurant.

    How many wontons come in an order?

    SO many ! like too many to count- I stopped counting at 13 but YMMV- they are DELICIOUS

    Is this place BYOB as far as beer goes when dining in?

    Per owner, Only if camouflaged in a paper bag.

    Is this halal?

    The lamb we use is certified Halal.

    Do they separate the noodles and soup for delivery?

    Yes. :)

    Are there confirmed vegan options?

    Yes! The dishes with seitan are vegan and the mushroom salad, though I've never ordered it. My favorite is stir fry seitan with chopped ribbon noodle :) long time vegan here!

    It was a busy Thursday afternoon visiting an old favorite. We sat at the counter space and…read morepatiently waited for 1 of the women to serve us. It was very busy, but they can keep up well. Very pleasant we ordered from the variety of pre made food and one order from the kitchen only menu. We tried the roasted chicken with rice and red beans, 2 chicken Empanadas, and 1 order of fried pork chops with green plaintain (chuleta frita con tostones). Took about 10 minutes to come out, and it was very fresh and delicious. The chops were well seasoned and crispy. The tostones were freshly made and crispy. I put a ton of their homemade mojito (garlic) sauce all over everything, and my son proceeded to follow me with his meal. Their chicken was roasted perfectly. Moist and tender with flavors. They have a huge rotisserie pit behind the wall and out the way to save space. Genius. The Rice and beans were standard yet authentic. The Empanadas were a little dry, but I had to show my eldest about ketchu-mayo lol iykyk, then he liked it. He's a bit inexperienced in the cuchifrito area and almost got a brand drink. I had to cut him off and direct him to the fountain drinks because ,uh-uh, we drink from the house in a great cuchifrito spot son! I got him the passion fruit, and I got my usual sesame seed. He looked at me crazy y'all lmao I let him try my sesame drink, and he was somewhat impressed with it. But he loved his passion fruit already. The service was attentive, and I honestly don't know how the ladies balance it all. He was pleasantly surprised at the bill $32. 2 full large meals, 2 drinks, 2 Empanadas, and 1 alcapurria because I had to grab one when I saw the cook dump a fresh batch. I went home thinking damn I should have grabbed 3 more. They were loading fresh cuchifritos and I shouldn't have held back. Later always comes and left overs are always welcomed. Overall, we both loved it. Even taught him a few things in there. For the culture and the price point he loved it even more. I know for sure we will be back.

The older Misses working at this establishment had no choice but to be sarcastic strong Spanish women given the recidivism of Rift-Raft in this neighborhood of mix populace, especially a zip code of delinquents, criminals, and dastardly venomous attitudes of gypsy homeless, gang bangers, anger management loud-mouths entering the restaurant to cause arguments, disturbances, beggars pleading for tasty Latino Spanish's food of mamma's familiar morsels. These were the cheap eats of tasty MEALS of separated or divorce, and broken family authentic tasting home cuisine missed from mamma, wifey, side-Biscuit girlfriend,and death of homestyle cooker, and missed Holidays foods of those gone & remembered!

    Amazing food selections, excellent customer service, great vibe amongst staff and customers…read more The ambiance is comfortable and inviting. The owners are amazing. Great for date night, family or girls/boyz night out.

    The Edge's menu purports to blend "the flavors of Jamaica & England with a little New York…read moreattitude." My friend and I were excited to try the Jamaican side of the menu. We started with drinks. She ordered the passion fruit margarita and I went with the tamarind mango margarita. We were told the margaritas are made with a wine based cocktail instead of tequila or mezcal since the restaurant only serves beer and wine. We've never had margaritas made with wine before, which should have been our first clue to skip the cocktails. Unfortunately we were feeling adventurous and neither of us ended up enjoying our drinks. Mine lacked any hint of tamarind, had a subtle mango flavor, and tasted more like a mocktail. My friend said hers tasted like a tart beverage. We ordered the codfish fritters to start and they were a delicious appetizer. We shared the jerk chicken and pancakes and the plantain crusted crab cakes for our entrees. The pancakes were light and fluffy. Unfortunately the jerk chicken was a huge letdown. We were expecting authentic Jamaican flavors. As someone who grew up eating jerk chicken and has enjoyed the real thing in Jamaica numerous times, this wasn't it! I was also surprised to be served a chicken cutlet instead of an actual breast, thigh, or wing portion of chicken. We did not enjoy the chicken. The crab cakes were well done and topped with a stale tasting chip. The fried plantains that accompanied the dish were mushy. We did not enjoy this dish either. My friend ordered the housemade chocolate chip bread pudding, which she said had everything under the sun on it. She enjoyed it, but said it didn't taste like any bread pudding she had ever tasted. Overall, the restaurant's concept is cool, but not well executed. The service was good minus the delayed water glass refills. Unfortunately, the food and drinks were a huge disappointment!
