I always come to this restaurant. They are so budget friendly and healthy. Low to no oil, low sodium but absolutely delicious in every dish. Quantity is quite light but very satisfying and filling to hit the spot whether ver hungry or just a snack, this always worked for me. This is one of the most soothing, low priced, and balanced healthy but absolutely delicious meal. I like the sit down area is always clean and enough space. There is no time limit but I definitely would try to be respectful to not hog the seat too long. This is a pay first and choose your seat later. read more

Come here for good, inexpensive comfort food! The XLB has a lot of soup, and the skin is not thick and not too thin. And super random but wow the white rice was so good haha. Wish Yozi was in Astoria! At Yozi, you seat yourself and order at the counter, then your food will be served to you when ready. I've seen people come here with friends or family or by themselves and just watch stuff on their phone. Love the versatile environment here! Staff are also super friendly. read more

One of my favorite spots for a quick casual bite. You order and pay up front, then find a table. There is a downstairs level if the main floor is full, but it usually smells like the bathroom so I only go down there if I really have to. My usual orders are the tomato beef noodle soup, fried buns, soup dumplings, and pot stickers. I recently tried the yuzhou chicken and it was tasty and full of flavor. They give a generous portion of chicken too. I asked for mild but it still had a nice kick. Service is nothing special, definitely a no frills place. Also keep in mind they do not provide water, so make sure to order a drink when you pay. I highly recommend the honey chrysanthemum tea! read more

While in Brooklyn's Chinatown, we had lunch at Yozi Noodles. This spot offers a variety of Shanghainese fare, including soup dumplings, noodles in spicy and non-spicy soup, pan-fried dumplings, duck with glass noodles...etc. It's a modern, clean, and brightly lit eatery where you can pick a table, look over the menu, then order at the cashier. They give you a number, so the server can locate your table when the food is ready. ***OUR PICKS*** OSMANTHUS DUCK VERMICELLI NOODLE SOUP+STEAMED PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS WITH CRAB (6 PCS) ~ Tender slices of duck in a flavorful broth. I found the noodles to be a bit overcooked. Though we were ok with that. The fried tofu gave an interesting texture to the overall dish. (XLB) The dumpling wrappers were just the right thickness. We don't like it very thick. The inside filling was seasoned well and had a balanced consistency, where it was neither too soft nor tough. And the wrappers did not break until we bit into the dumplings. 4/5 VERMICELLI NOODLE SOUP WITH FRIED TOFU ~ This looked like the other bowl without duck. The same noodles were used, so both bowls had very soft vermicelli noodles. A bowl of soup noodles almost always hits the spot for me, so I was content. 4/5 Affordable spot with generous portions of good food that won't break your wallet! Glad we got to try Yozi Noodles! read more

This restaurant is a chain with a few locations throughout the city. I have ordered delivery from this place multiple times and have dined in person. The food definitely tastes better in person. With the rising cost of food everywhere, this place is a steal! Cheapest and tastiest XLB in my opinion! My friend and I usually come here to dine in and we always get the regular XLB and the one with crab. The crab XLB is definitely better and you can actually taste the crab flavor. Another favorite of ours is the cilantro beef in spicy oil. Great flavor and delicious! I always get the honey chrysanthemum tea as well and it is so refreshing! I have ordered takeout from here and the food didn't taste the same. The dumplings were soggy and didn't taste as fresh in person. I have also ordered the frozen XLB to make at home and it just wasn't the same. This has become our new go-to place to dine in on 8th ave for a quick bite. As soon as you enter, you place your order at the cashier and find a seat and they'll bring the food to you. Tip is also optional! The restaurant is always clean and the staff is very nice! If you pay in cash, no tax will be added to your bill. We'll definitely be back to try the other items on the menu! read more

Jiangsu style noodle shop on the 8th Ave Brooklyn Chinatown. Went there for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty busy. Small shop that can sit 25-ish people. More or a modern interior with brighter colors and lights. You order and pay at the counter, get a tracker, pick an open table and they bring the food to you. Got the combo of xiaolongbao with the duck offal noodle soup. The duck soup has vermicelli noodles, and you get duck gizzard, blood jelly and liver pieces along with some Shanghai bokchoy and tofu puffs. Soup has a nice slightly creamy meat broth flavor. Relatively light, and the food goes down easy. I like gizzard and blood jelly. The pasty and iron-flavored liver is better eaten with some sauce. As for xiaolongbao soup dumplings, you get six per order. Tasted authentic with nice soup inside and decent skin and fillings. The combo was $16, which is pretty affordable for the amount and quality of food. read more

Was upset that 86th st location closed down but glad to have a place in 8th ave. The food is always good with large portions . It's self service so tips are optional . Order at the front and get a tag where they will bring you the food. Their duck vermicelli soup base and plain tofu is a hit or miss. I do enjoy their sauketrest fish . Booth seats make it comfortable and spacious. read more

I like this self serving restaurant. I was so easy, order at the door and find seatings. The hardest part was to find seatings. There are also extra seats at the lower level, but it's stuffy downstairs. The serves were extremely quick and the food came a few minutes after. Ordered the braised beef noodle soup and it was tasty with some mala flavor, the noodles were ramen and not hand pulled which I prefer hand pulled. The tofu puff vermicelli noodles had a nice broth and was simple. I really enjoyed the elasticity of the potato noodles. The soup dumplings were tasty and nice soup inside. I would come again for a simple and quick meal. read more

I'd say, 3.5 stars overall. You order in the front so there isn't really table service. There is a confusing self-serve area where there were small paper soup cups but not certain what they are for, as there isn't a water container. I had the beef noodle soup with tomato which was the overall highlight of the meal with great broth. The noodles were not as springy as I'd like, but the nice portion size almost makes up for it. The Xiao Long Bao and Potstickers were okay - not very memorable, but I believe it is because Northern Chinese cuisine doesn't have a lot of seasoning and spices as they could use a bit of ginger in the filling. Good value overall which nudges this to 4-stars. This restaurant isn't for your average American as the "highlight" is actually a dish with duck offal. read more

Sometimes, you just want a simple meal out without having a reservation nor having to wait for a table. It's been years since I last enjoyed meal on 8th Avenue. Fortunately, we chose the right place this time and enjoyed a fast casual meal as a family on a weekend evening after exploring several newer bakeries and the Molly Tea in the neighborhood. We opted for a combo of guihua duck vermicelli noodle soup and crab and pork xiao long baos, an order of shrimp and pork wontons, and spicy ma ma fish soup with white rice. After having already loaded up on bakery items along 8th Avenue, we didn't have any appetite for more food than what we ordered. Everything we ordered was delicious and the portions were great. I haven't had spicy fish soup in a while and enjoyed their version that tickled my tongue with a balance of numbness and spice. The duck vermicelli noodles were also delicious with a good amount of duck on top. The crab and pork xiao long baos exceeded my expectations. The overall service was quick and friendly. The overall space was clean and bright. I can already see myself stopping by again. read more

Definitely a gem for soup dumplings in the area. The vermicelli broth was great--light, creamy, and pairs really well with the noodles. Their dry pots were surprisingly flavorful too, though I'd recommend getting extra spice. The plum juice might be an acquired taste, but I found it really refreshing. read more

I love their soup dumplings and fried buns. They might not be the most flavorful, but they definitely have the most soup inside. The fried buns are literally bursting with hot soup.

My husband and I enjoyed the food at Yozi so much that we invited our friends to try it too. However, we did not know that this Yozi location does not serve dry hot pot. This location has a slightly different menu than the other Yozi Brooklyn location. We decided to stay and try the food here. We each ordered our own entree. I ordered the clay pot chicken (not spicy level) and the Nanjing salted duck (1/2 size - $15.99). I ordered the Tofu pudding with Boba and red bean in ginger syrup for dessert. The food was good. Next time, I'll order my entree with more spice level because I think I can handle. I really enjoyed the dessert. It had just the right amount of sweetness and I enjoyed the textures. All of our friends enjoyed their food as well. No complaints. The service was good. When you enter you can find a table and then come back and order or vice versa. When you prefer and pay for your food, they give you a plastic tablet with a number on it. The ambiance is nice too. This place is great for families and groups. The decor was simple but great. If you pay with cash, then you don't have to pay tax. Good to know. read more

I was looking for some nice soup to warm up on a cold night after work and stumbled upon this noodle restaurant! They specialize mainly in duck soups but still have vegetarian, pork, and shrimp options for wontons and side dishes. What I love most is how affordable their menu is! I ordered the osmanthus duck vermicelli noodle soup and fresh cucumber salad to go and very much enjoyed them at home. The soup was fantastic, they separate the ingredients from the broth so you don't come home with soggy noodles. The broth itself was very well made, not too salty, but super rich in flavor. Adding some chili oil kicks it up a notch as well. The cucumber salad was fresh, crunchy, and spicy. I love this style of cucumbers in chili oil because it isn't too heavy of a side dish and is great to snack on! read more

It's my first time dining here after getting some dumplings to go back then. I must say, I don't regret coming here; everything is delicious. We were a party of 5 and got seated first. They told us to take a look at the menu and then come back up to the register to order. After taking some time to figure out what we wanted, we ordered at least 11 dishes and 5 drinks. The total came out to around $120, which wasn't bad in my opinion cause we were all way too full afterwards. Everything we ordered looked amazing and they all tasted amazing! Safe to say: I am 100% coming back again. read more

I wish they had a location in Manhattan. Their prices and atmosphere is truly unbeatable. It's clean and fast-casual, so you order at the front and seat yourself and then the food comes out pretty quickly. You grab utensils yourself but can leave the plates on your table at the end. Large and clean bathroom available as well. I got the Tofu noodle soup ($5). Where else can you get a giant bowl of food for $5??? The broth was light but flavorful and plenty of tofu floating around at the top. There was also an insane amount of vermicelli noodles, which were perfectly chewy. There's chilli oil and other sauces at the table so you can dress it up however you'd like. Fried buns ($8) - came with 6 buns. I thought they were going to be like sheng jiang bao, but these were more like if you took Xiao Long Bao and fried the bottoms. It came with the crispy, lacy bottoms and each one was juicy. read more

I've came here multiple times and it's always been good. One of the very rare spots where you don't have to tip. You order at the counter and just wait to be served. Food is cheap and great. They specialize in duck noodles which I normally get but I got their spicy chicken clay pot this time at medium spicy which was actually really spicy. I would recommend mild spice or no spice for people who can't handle spicy. The claypot also comes with rice so it's nice. Highly recommend coming and trying it out! read more

You can pay with cash so you save on tax or card. They didn't charge tip or even have an option for it when I paid with card. We each ordered an order of B2 which includes Osmanthus Duck Vermicelli Noodle Soup and Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings with Crab. The soup, while some might call it bland, was actually quite flavorful. At the table, there is also chili oil if you wanted enhance the flavor. There was also a decent amount of duck and veggies in the bowl. The soho dumplings were also pretty good.

Yozi noodles is a clean and efficient little fast casual restaurant. They don't have waiter service. You order at the front desk and the staff bring the food to your table (you're given a beeper). The prices are very fair, especially given the amount of inflation we've seen recently. The noodles were a fair $10. The Xiao Long Bao comes in a colored variant that costs a little more than the plain ones. The two variants are the same flavor but they're fun to have though. read more

Over two years ago was my last time riding the Brooklyn-bound subway. My commute from Queens to Brooklyn was about 2 hours. Yozi Noodles is within walking distance from the 8 Av (62nd Street) subway station. Today, I came here with my mom for a late lunch. First, you need to order and pay for your food. Second, you can grab an empty table. One of the employees will bring out your food. Food: Mom: Duck Entrails Vermicelli Noodle Soup + Original Steamed Soup Dumplings (combo) - My mom enjoyed her delicious Vermicelli Noodle Soup. There was a lot of duck gizzard, duck liver, duck blood, vegetables, and fried tofu. Me: Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings with Crab - I like to dip the xiao long bao in black vinegar and then suck out the delicious soup. Note: There was additional seating downstairs with a second restroom! Bookmark this spot to try! read more

For appetizers, had the spicy fresh cucumbers, sliced beef with cilantro and the colorful soup dumplings which was all pork, have to let it cool down a bit cause was hot. Then entrees tried the tofu noodle soup, the osmanthus duck vermicelli soup which had tofu too, fish tomato with rice, and my friend had the duck entrails vermicelli soup, all were so light but flavorful! Staff was very friendly and food came out quick, I enjoyed the casual atmosphere too where can find your own seating and not worry about tipping.

I enjoyed our mains the most, the beef tomato noodle soup had great umami flavors, and the pepper fish was rich and flavorful. The soup dumplings were good but not the best. cold gizzard app was mediocre and the pork & shrimp dumplings were way too oily. Will be back for those mains again. read more

My office ordered from here on a Thursday afternoon. The food came a little bit late unfortunately. However, the food was pretty good. I ordered a combo that included an order of the pork soup dumplings and the sliced beef with sour soup. The pork soup dumplings were great, nice thin skin and great flavor. The soup was also very flavorful and tasty with a good amount of fatty beef and veggies. It went great with rice. The only issue was because the fatty beef was cooked in the broth the broth got very oily and greasy so it's difficult to finish the whole thing but I enjoyed it though. All in all, a nice lunch spot. read more

Nice quick lunch spot on 8th Ave. Have plenty of booth seating upstairs and downstairs. You are given a menu at the front desk and told to just find your own seat. When you are ready to order, just come back to the front desk to place your order!( no wait staff). We ordered shrimp and pork wontons soup, pork wontons soup, fried buns , spicy pig ears and sauerkraut fish stew. Overall it was good. Our favorite was the fried buns which was actually pan fried Shanghainese soup dumpling. Least favorite was the pork wontons soup as it had so little pork in each wonton ( the side of my smallest pinky nail was bigger than it! ). The sauerkraut fish was ok. A bit too sour for my taste , definitely needed to eat with the rice it came with. Pigs ear was ok. Had better ones elsewhere and the portion size was small for the price of $7.5. Will definitely come back just for the pan fried or their other soup dumplings. read more

Pan fried soup dumplings were unusual yet quite the pleasant surprise. Pork soup flavor was also done well. Highlight was the duck noodles- good texture, great broth, and not bad duck.

I forgot the name of my orders, but I got the noodle with tofu and it is so flavorful. The soup is herbal-y and so addicting. I love that they put a handful of cilantro in each dish. Their pot dishes are also fun. We ordered spicy fish and spicy chicken to share and it was a hit among our group. The spicy fish dish satisfied my Szechuan spice cravings. read more

Stumbled upon this place while parking right outside. We were supposed to meet at a restaurant close by after work but happened to see this bright orange storefront with a cute little duck icon. Let's go in. I would consider this a fast food joint with table service, tip optional. We ordered at the counter, grabbed a seat, and waited for the food which came quite fast. Most signature dishes we had were on the saltier side, however, we did enjoy their soup dumplings, cucumber salad, and soup noodles. Prices for portions are fair. Does not serve water.
