Great Ny Noodletown

One of my favorite places as a New Yorker. The food is so delicious, and the service is super fast. Mind you, this is a classic Chinatown restaurant - the servers are not super warm and fuzzy, but that's the culture there, so you gotta respect that. It's also fun eating at the big communal tables. My friend and I always get the salt-baked shrimp, beef chow fun, and the roast pork. They have this ginger-y green sauce that is to die for. My friend and I always ask for copious amounts. I dream of this sauce.

This restaurant has been popular among locals and tourists alike for decades for good Cantonese comfort food. No frills decor with few tables, often times it’s packed but service is very quick for seated or orders to go. Good sized food portion and tasty without MSG aftertaste at very reasonable prices. Menu price is already tax inclusive!

Been here many times when I was younger. It was the stable spot and the go to when you’re drunk at 1ish am in the morning. I came with my father and I noticed renovation was done. The place looks newer but size wise still the same. My dad got the black egg congee and I got the shrimp wonton soup. I didn’t want noodles although it’s my favorite for diet reasons. The soup temperature was great. If you’re reading this, you should know I love my broth temperature super super hot. Like burn my tongue hot. Anyways, my father enjoyed his congee. It was tasty and seasoned well. we got a dish of roast pork and chicken. That was delicious. Now… the wonton were not bad. The broth on the other hand ? booooo! I have better broth before and the broth from them drastically. Man it was so disappointing. Oh my waiter was definitely not in the mood to work. I thank him, and all the good vibes. Yet he didn’t say anything to me. Will I go back for the broth? Absolutely not. For the meats, def will.

Cash only. Brisket beef wonton noodles is a must. Just know small bowls (5 wonton). Broth is very good. Beef is lean and not too fatty and very tender. Also had the beef chow fun. That was very good as well. Only was with my daughter so didn't get to add a third dish (wanted the roast duck). We sat next to the butcher and during our time there he went thru 6 to 8 ducks so you know it's good. Constant line of customers ordering the duck to take home.

Beef ball with egg noodles soup is so amazing that it hurts to even try to describe it. This place is a NYC Chinatown treasure. This soup is soo good that it makes NYC fancy Michelin restaurants taste bad. I feel go amazing after eating this soup. I ran out of things to say just how good the soup is. Can’t wait to experience their menu more
