Needing a snack, I ordered the duck jian bing and it was satisfying minus a chewy piece I couldn't break down. I would come back to try more of their noodle soup dishes or the baos, which looked good. Service was friendly and quick. Bathroom is located downstairs, which you need to access from outside and walk down a flight. read more

Yiwanmen - Duck jian bing ~$10 (burrito sized and cut in half) - Noodles Near Me - New York, New York

What!! A random search szchuan food and I got this. It's wonderful. Jeiping usually $10 uptown and $5 here. Noodle is definitely freshly pulled but the broth is a bit less than ideal. Well this world isn't perfect either. Price is very reasonable here with everything range from $3 to $8. I enjoy the dumpling and I suggest you add a lot of hot oil to taste. I was surprised it's not busy during lunch hour. But then after we sit there for 10 minutes, the place got packed. It's still not crowded thou. Service is great and they will push more stuff for you to buy. If you are into spicy noodle, they have options. Broth is a bit less than ideal. I didn't really tasted a well done soup base. If you ask for a spicy one, then it wouldnt matter as much. I had #8 or something and it needs some salt. I feel they are less generous with the meat and veggies but thats me at every restaurant. You can never have enough meat. Seats are limited to Luke 15 I think. The place is small. Take it to the park or it's not ideal place to find a table for 6. Definitely order their jeiping. read more

My Chinese friend recommended me to try this inexpensive hole-in-the-wall noodle place when I asked her where to find a legit 酸辣粉 suanlafen. It's not the best suanlafen but for the price (with tax $6.50) I won't complain! 便宜好吃又乾淨！ It's fast, inexpensive, tastes decent enough to satisfy my craving, and the place is clean. I was quite surprised that they offer my favorite dish 東北大拉皮 (Dongbei style cold noodle) but I'm not super keen on the sauce they used.... I like the slightly sweeter version I had at the famous Dongbei restaurant chain " 東北人" in China. Overall I'm very happy I discovered this place , great place to get a quick meal! read more

It's a cute restaurant located in Little Italy/Chinatown. I came here on weekday for a quick lunch.

Accessible from BD6FNRQ trains and hits the spot! I'm a DUMPLING FREAK!!! Theirs is one of the most delicious. I'll sacrifice my other carbs to eat this. Healthy minded people, you know what I'm talking about. #pizzaordumplings So meaty Juicy Flavorful without any sauce Thin skinned Authentic, a lot like my dads I love their mango Basil drink which is very pretty and could be a meal unto itself. Definitely one of my go to spots for dumplings and a fruity, filling drink. Small yet extremely clean establishment. A winning spot to eat in or take out. Open pretty late. Which reminds me that I'm late for my friend's bday party. read more

Wait time was minimal. Prices were standard: ~$7 or ~$8. Minimal indoor seating but we weren't impacted by that; it was a pay at counter type thing. I got a veggie noodle soup in beef broth (this is actually not on the menu but if you ask they should be able to give it). Food was ok, nothing super special and nothing awful. It was filling and an appropriate portion size for how much I paid. I liked the noodles the best. read more

The cashier was very polite and kind. The place is clean. I ordered beef slice noodle soup. The noodle is soft, but chewy at the same time. The noodle is smooth, goes down easy. The soup was alright. I didn't finish the soup. I would if it was good enough. Lol. I'm pretty sure their other dishes are good. It's actually a Sichuan food restaurant. So their spicy dishes must be pretty tasty. read more

The duck Jian Bing was actually so bad, $20 for a small portion and barely any duck just bunch of scallions and veggies

Stop searching, just do this one. 1. The restaurant is CLEAN 2. The broth is FLAVORFUL, the noodles are CHEWY, there is actually a decent amount of GREENS unlike most Chinese spots where they only give you two stalks of bok choys and call it a day! 3. The owners are multilingual (mandarin, cantonese, English, maybe more?), polite and friendly. Prompt service. 4. It is not overpriced, food range from $5-$8 5. Simple menu, good selection of snacks to full sized meals My favorite dishes are Chong Qing style noodle (spicy and slightly tangy), and their spicy beef noodle. read more

Clean place. Different menu. Was excited to try. Had one bit of food...it was good, but a little disappointing because it was spicy, even though that wasn't indicated on the menu. Much much bigger problem: despite me indicating my girl friend's severe dairy allergy, and asking explicitly, "Is there any cheese? Is there any butter used on the grill? Any milk or cream in the wrap? Any milk powder?", the sausage, in the bing, had cheese in it, which was gross, aside from the food allergy. I am sure this place is fine, but do not expect any attention to detail of any kind, which I imagine applies to their conformance with other health code standards, etc. Do not expect to have it made as you would expect, whether that is excluding cilantro (Helen C.), without hot sauce when the menu doesn't indicate it is spicy, or in conformance with any kind of dietary restrictions. BEWARE if you have a food allergy. To the staff: thanks for giving us back $6.50 as we ran out the door...that covered about half of the car ride to the emergency room. read more

I have to admit I was a bit confused on exactly where the proprietors of this small, sleek restaurant hailed from. While a sign on the outside proclaims its specialty to be "Chongqing noodles," I also found Taiwanese gua baos on the menu, along with jian bings. When the cashier started speaking on the phone in Cantonese, perhaps I should have known that this restaurant dealt in breadth over depth. Indeed, the jian bing I sampled left much to be desired. It was a jian bing with the right ingredients and the texture was good, that much I can say. But the seasoning was bland, and required a hefty dose of chili oil. If I'm on the street and craving a jian bing, I just might stop by, but there are better locations elsewhere specializing in the dish. read more

We went to Yiwanmen craving jian bing, and we were not disappointed! It's surprising how few places in Chinatown seem to have jian bing so we were glad it was there to satisfy that craving. We've had better jian bing out in Flushing where its easier to come across, but this was still good. read more

I am so glad I accidentally found this place when wandering around! The food was so cheap and there was so much - I paid $9 for a very big bowl of noodle and dumpling soup. The owner was so sweet, and he brought me the food probably within 2 minutes of me ordering. The interior is also very cozy and well decorated! Will definitely be coming back!! read more

So happy to have stumbled upon this cute little place the other day! For $7.25, you get a bowl of hot chongqing noodles just like the way they make it in chongqing (ok maybe not as spicy for the American palate lol). Looking at past pictures from other yelpers, the prices went up a bit but #inflation is everywhere. Thought the place looks underwhelming from the outside, it's actually quite spacious inside with communal tables for seating. An excellent choice for quick lunch in manhattan! read more

Yiwanmen - Chongqing noodle - Noodles Near Me - New York, New York

This is a solid spot if you're looking to grab food and aren't looking to spend much money. It's a small, simple operation and the employees are friendly and the food is solid for the price. The wonton noodle soup ($5.50) didn't fill me up, but it's hard to ask for much when something is only $5.50. For that amount I'd say it's a great value -- just be prepared to not leave super full. Also, while the wontons are advertised as shrimp and minced pork, it's mostly pork and very little shrimp. Didn't bother me much but just thought I'd point it out. read more

My friend and I walked past while going to a different brunch place and this place looked appetizing from the outside. Inside, not as much. I got the Beijing Noodle in Soybean Paste which was wayyy too salty with too much sauce. I couldn't even finish because it was just too much. We shared a Jian Bing and it tasted like a burrito. Straight up what was that?? Overall, not super tasty or authentic as we hoped. Limited seating inside as well. The people who worked there seemed nice though. Nice if you want to support a mom and pop place but average and would not return in terms of food. read more

Yiwanmen - Noodles Near Me - New York, New York

I came to Yiwanmen after hearing strong feedback on their noodle dishes and jianbing - so I was, perhaps, hoping for a little more. The eatery is one of the newer spots in Chinatown along Mott Street; it's not particularly spacious, but there's several two tops and communal tables and everything is meant to be efficient. Order at the counter and take a seat, and your order will be brought to you. It's short, simple, and to the point. My friend and I opted to share the jian bing and get our own noodles. Spoiler alert: The jianbing is the thing to get here. While this simple "Chinese crepe" has taken on a more elevated and expensive form in NYC of late, keeps to the humble traditional street snack. The version here is served in a paper wrap - warm, with sesame seeds dotting the exterior, and a neatly rolled egg crepe filled with your choice of protein. We'd gone with the duck, and I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful the meat was, and how well it worked with the soft, lightly egg-y wrap. For ~$6.50, it's definitely not a bad deal. My main issue, however, lies with the Chongqing Noodle Soup (N1), which had instigated the original trip. As someone who was born in and grew up within the Sichuan province, I certainly know and can handle my spice - that's not the complaint. However, spice needs to highlight a foundation, and there was hardly any flavor in the noodle broth aside from a dousing of chili oil and Sichuan peppercorns. Sure, I appreciated the ground pork, the chewy noodles, and the sprinkling of cilantro, but the lackluster broth really detracted from the overall dish. My friend, in rare form, pushed away his bowl far before finishing, which also spoke to the overall caliber of the noodles. My recommendation? Come for the jian bing, but skip the noodles - at least, N1 anyway. There are far better noodle shops just a quick walk away where you won't be as disappointed in your bowl of noodles. read more

The jian bings are delicious! Both soft & crunchy. The lettuce adds even more crunch and helps cut through the fried goodness. I tried the pork floss, beef and plain ones. All of them were equally delicious. The woman who takes your order is such a nice person. As I waited for my order, I noticed that all of their customers, elderly and teens alike, treated her like family. She basically explained that the restaurant is a neighbor fixture. The vibe was happy, helpful & homey. I'll definitely be back to try their noodle soups which is what they're better known for. read more

we were greeted with such enthusiasm and smiles the moment we walked into this tiny place. probably seats about 12 people MAX. soybean jajiangmian was hot and warm with noodles cooked to the perfect chew. add an egg (lu dan) the egg itself is cold but the yolk inside is parboiled; adds great flavor! the chongqing beef noodle soup was also deep and flavorful; not my favorite in the city but its such a great value. their cucumber appetizer was also refreshing and crunchy. all three items totalled to about $20, something which would probably only get you one bowl of noodles in more buzzy parts of town. they also serve jian bing, a beloved chinese crepe snack. will be sure to try some next time. read more

Their jian bing is wonderful! Try the duck and pork belly. Don't stray too far into the other parts of their menu though, it's not the same. Ambiance and service aren't a priority here (there's no bathroom)... but that's not what you're there for anyway. read more

This was a great discovery! Very nice spot with tasty beef noodles. We tried the pork intestine noodles too - also very tasty. The staff is very warm and friendly. And the noodles are only $9 (not $13.50 as shown in the Yelp photos) read more

So I've come here a decent amount of times and usually order the either the vegetable noodle soup or the pork broth noodle. Both are great. I would say the vegetable noodle soup is more flavorful while without chili oil the pork can sometimes leave a bit to be desired, but the pork is always cooked perfectly- not too chewy and just right. It's really small inside but cozy, and the prices are great for what you get (a big bowl of soup) they do have a $10 card minimum though. What I'm adding the extra star for, however, is the amazing customer service my friends and I received yesterday. We wanted to do a little surprise for a friend and the woman behind the counter was so friendly and welcome to it. She even let us store our ice cream cake in the freezer downstairs and played happy birthday over the speakers when it was time to bring it out. She just really made the experience worth while! I'll definitely be coming back here soon, both for the delicious soup and the wonderful service. read more

They don't give water and this annoys me. Every restaurant is required by law to give water but this place demands you to pay for a bottle of it. The food here wasn't particular good. It's edible but I wouldn't come back. The bao/bun was served cold instead of being warm and steamy to match the temperature of the meat. The texture of the noodle is firm, which is great, but the hot oil soup base and little amount of toppings made it all underwhelming. The egg crepe with pork floss was supposed to be the highlight of trying this place but it fell flat since it was coated it a weird bbq sauce which took over the taste of everything going on in the crepe. At least the food came out quick. Overall, I wouldn't be returning and recommending this place to others. read more

Yiwanmen - Roast duck jian bing - Noodles Near Me - New York, New York

Yiwanmen is a great spot for a casual, filling meal. Their menu is split into three categories: Noodles w/ soup, jianbing, and baos. If you're extremely hungry, go for the noodles or a combo of a jianbing and baos. All of the menu options are extremely affordable. I ordered the N1 Chongqing Red Oil Noodle. The flavorful, rich broth delivered just the right amount of spice to the noodles. I liked how the dish had a good balance between the amount of noodles, meat, vegetables, and soup. This is the perfect meal to warm you up on a cold winter day. read more

Super yummy. Stopped here after Chinatown groceries. The jianbing is as close as I have had in NYC (not exactly like Beijing) but it's tastes really good. Dumplings have excellent flavor but aren't as oily. Broth for the spice noodles was great. Lotus roots were too sweet for my taste but others liked them. They have a large menu, will Def be back to try more! read more

Spotted this place while I was walking down Mott St. I decided to try it the other day since I wanted something quick. I ordered the Chongqing Red Oil Noodle ($6.75), along with a Pork Belly Bao ($3). The bun was just average to be honest. There are so many places to get good baos nowadays, so this one doesn't really stand out. The pork belly wasn't tender enough so it has a bit of a chew when you bite into it. I also felt that there was a bit too much sauce, which overwhelmed the bun. For $3 it was ok, but I wouldn't order it again. As for the noodles, the pictures are definitely more deceiving because what you get doesn't look the same. The pictures posted on their walls and on the menu makes it look delicious, but if only it was true to picture, or at lease somewhat close to it. The noodle soup I ordered said it comes with a "tea egg" on the menu, but there was NONE in mine no matter how hard I looked. Vegetables were very minimal, and they weren't even whole. I saw a couple pieces of what looked like baby bok choy, but cut up. So I would have pieces of the stem over here, along with a cut up piece over there. Meat was also minimal too, even though it was only minced beef. It also came with some pickled vegetables (pickled radish I think), along with bits of scallions and cilantro. Flavor wise, I did enjoy it because it wasn't too spicy. It looked like it would be flaming hot because of the chili oil, but it wasn't too bad. It wasn't spicy enough to numb your flavor palette. There were also some dried chili in the noodles for a little extra heat, but to me, it was the tiniest extra kick. The noodles weren't very filling, especially with the lack of filling in the soup. (Depending on how hungry you are, and how much you eat, the amount you can could be filling or not.) Overall, I wouldnt say I would come back again, but maybe I'll give it a try another day in hopes to see an improvement. read more

My boyfriend and I can't stop eating here! It has extremely delicious and authentic Chinese food at an unbeatable price point. Their food covers a variety of Chinese regional cuisines (i.e. jianbing and zhajiang noodles from the north, spicy mala noodles from the southwest, etc.) Most of the noodle soups are about only $8 and they're very substantial. The food is rich and tasty, and yet it leaves you feeling good afterwards. I always get the Mala Fish noodle soup (listed on the chalkboard) which is such an unbeatable deal (I think it's about $10). The noodles come with a significant amount of poached fish filet, fish cakes, chinese broccoli, lotus root, wood ear, and carrot. It's tasty, soothing, and also a balanced meal. The place itself is clean and the staff are all extremely nice. The food comes served really quick -- we only ever wait 5-10 minutes for our food to arrive. Also, a significant portion of the clientele is Chinese (like me) so you know it's good :) read more

I came here on a weekend night and it was empty when I arrived but full when I left. I went inside, looked at the menu, and ordered the intestine noodles with rice noodles (instead of the normal noodles). The food came out quite quickly and I mixed it all together. I appreciated that there were some green vegetables in the soup. My food wasn't hot so I suspect the food wasn't really fresh. The noodles were really not that great because they were too soft. I suspect the noodles were cooked long ago and then dipped into water to reheat them. The intestines weren't fresh either but I did appreciate that they had cleaned the insides out. Anyway, this was a really mediocre noodles spot, and the soup was only and not flavorful at all. It was $8.80 including tax, and the portions were quite average too. I'm not a fan, there are definitely better noodle soup than this! read more

This is the second time my husband and I ate at Yiwanmen. We ordered Special Pork Intestine Noodle, Chongqing Noodle, Jianbing and Sliced Potato.
