Review Niu Noodle House - New York City

SUZIE LAN

Enjoyed the Chinese broccoli, scallion pancakes and the fried dumplings. For my taste the soup dumplings were a little mushy. Cocktail drinks were the best, they don't cheat you off on alcohol!

Great place. You can't complain about the location and is spacious inside too. The staff is great and very friendly. Their selection of dimsum is small compared to other but they're delicious. Quality over quantity. The prices are decent too. If you're dining by yourself, this is one of those restaurants you won't feel awkward dining in by yourself.

I've been here at least 10 times so far. I love their Chicken Soup Dumplings. Honestly, most of the time, that's the only thing I order. Their Chicken Lettuce Wraps aren't bad either.

Great noodles! I had the curry beef trifecta noodle dish and the flavor was outstanding. All the meat was super tender with a good portion of it as well. Appetizers were tasty and brought out quickly. Would recommend! Attached is the picture of the sizzling noodles

Good soup dumplings and pepper steak noodles. Mai Thais during Sunday happy hour were an added bonus.

Joey Katz

Love the noodles and dumplings! Awesome service! I asked for a spicy sauce that would make me cry and the person who took my order left me this hilarious note when I picked up my order. “Tear-Jerkin’ Sauce: p.s. don’t pour the whole thing on, or pour it, but we don’t cover funeral expenses!” Haha!

Amazing food and service, I got surprise about the multiples options they have available, this is a nice place to visit if you're in the mood for great noodles.

Instead of venturing to the other side of the world for dim sum (AKA Chinatown), walk over to this local Village gem. The daily dim sum specials are varied and a great deal for somewhere so close to Manhattan's West Village. The service is impeccable. The range of sauces caters to every spicy or non-spicy need. I highly recommend the shrimp dumpling, pork bun, chicken lettuce wrap, and whatever the daily dim sum special is. Put on some chili sauce and enjoy your carb feast. Niu has tons of great dinner entrees too and the ambience is great. Not too bright, not too serious.

Food was amazing, with a good variety of vegetarian and gluten free options. Great drink menu too!

Best ramen I ever had! Suggest to try out their papaya bubble tea.

Yum! Floors are kinda sticky which is a bit off-putting, but place itself is really great! Great happy hour options for both drinks and dumplings, absolutely irresistible scallion pancakes, and noodle soups that never disappoint. Accidentally was served something spicy once (I'd asked for it to not be spicy), and it was handled very well; manager even came over to apologize, really nice guy. Highly recommended for a casual dinner.

Writing this after my second visit here 2 years apart. I loved it the first time, we went here as a large group of 7, they accommodated us easily and the food was good from my memory. So I decided to take a couple of friends here again. Getting an early reservation for Friday was easy on the day itself, so that was convenient. The place was not full when we got there at 630 pm but filled up by the time we were done at 8. The food is still consistently good! We ordered the scallion pancake, veggies, shrimp dumplings, chow fun and noodle soup. Everything was good. Especially the noodles in the noodle soup - not a fan of soba, but this was on point! The service was good, not intrusive at all. Did not try to upsell anything even though we ordered a bit less for 3 people. Will def be back again soon. Did I also mention it's pretty reasonable?

The sizzling dumplings were delicious. Be careful with the chili sauce. It's really spicy. But a little really kicks up the fire in a great way. Service was wonderful. Highly recommend this place

Andrea

Very impressed with their delivery standards. Ordered a delicious soba noodle soup with duck, egg, and veggies. Each component was packaged in a separate containers so noodles weren't overcooked and nothing was soggy. Fast delivery--and I don't live too close to the restaurant--and a nice delivery guy. Will definitely order from them again.

I walked by unintentionally and decided to pop in. I was by myself and got seated at the bar. The service was really quick. I had shrimp dumplings and honey chicken. It was delicious!! One of my favourite meals from my newyork trip. I also had a glass of wine with my dinner and the bill was very reasonable. I will definitely visit on my next trip. Thank you!

I ordered the roast duck ramen,it was super delicious! The roast duck was extremely tender, and the duct skin and fat went very well with the noodles, it was just bursting with flavor. If there was a downside, it would have to be the wait time though. We had to wait at least 25 minutes for our food, and we were already very hungry. However, other than that, food was exceptional!

Andrew Schultze

The best Cantonese cuisine in NYC. Their lunch special is a good portion and comes with appetizer. Excellent selection of liquor, beer and wine. Excellent dim sum. Warm and attentive staff. This place checks all the boxes for excellence. Best Generals Tso's chicken and Hot and Sour soup I've ever tasted. I am devoted. Yum!

Ordered delivery through Seamless which arrived much quicker than the 60min quote. I was craving soup dumplings and was hesitant they would come broken through delivery but I went for it anyway. To my surprise each pork soup dumpling was not only still intact but warm and delicious!! I also ordered vegetable Lo Mein which was warm and had fresh produce but lacking in flavor. But I'd rather lack in flavor than taste gross. I'll be back for the soup dumplings for sure and will try with other entrees.

Amazing place!!! I am def coming back !!!! :)

We were there in June and EVERYTHING from the service to the atmosphere to the amazing food was perfect!! We were so happy when we left :))

Melinda Cumings

I order from here all the time. I've tried dozens of different Chinese take-out places in the Village, pretty much everything that can deliver to me, and this is the place I keep coming back to. The Hong Kong style dumplings on the dim-sum menu are really really good. I've tried maybe a quarter of the menu and never been disappointed. Delivery time is quick and the orders are always accurate. It's also not that expensive, so it's a great deal. I've only eaten inside the restaurant once and it wasn't really noteworthy, the ambiance is normal and nice, not exceptional, but the food is still great and of course it's faster and steaming hot. But it's extremely solid for delivery. Definitely recommended if you want Chinese and you're in the area.

Was looking for some authentic Chinese place for lunch. Ordered their lunch combo which included dimsum of choice and one noodles ramen bowl. Loved the taste but since I ordered spicy, the level felt a bit off.

Nice place, good food fue una grata sorpresa este lugar. Entramos porque nos pareció bastante agradable y por su promoción de "dimsum" del día a 1 dólar de 4 pm al cierre. Me encantó la preoccupación por los detalles, como unos pequeño dragoncitos para afirmar Los chop sticks. Pedimos el dim sum del día, "HK Style Pork Buns" (1$), que era la primera vez que los probaba y me encantaron. Venían 3 y tenían un sabor medio dulce difícil de describir, pero muy ricos. Para continuar un "Singapore Show Mei" ($14) "Sizzling Shrim Noodle"($18). El primero consistía en una especie de salteado de noodles de arroz delgados, que traía camarones pequeños, pollo, cerdo, huevo, verduras y una suave salsa de curry, estaba bueno, aunque nada del otro mundo. Pero el sizzling, wow estaba increíble!... de partida venía en un plato con forma de buey caliente (me pareció genial), noodles salteados, estilo lo mein, con verduras y unos camarones jumbos que estaban maravillosos, lo pedí con salsa teriyaki y fue una perfecta combinación, los noodles no delgados, pero tan poco tan gruesos, muy burn mix, si bien no era un plato light tampoco era tan pasado a pesar de la fritura. La atención muy buena, nos explicaron cada plato, además de darnos recomendaciones y ultra rápida lo que se agradece. Veníamos de comer ostras, así que no nos dio para pedir postre. Agradable música de fondo y un agradable ambiente ayudaron a que fuera todo perfecto. Definitivamente recomiendo este lugar, precios razonables, buena atención y ricos platos, que mejor??. #Dinotraveller #UnaChilenaEnNewYork Ps. Si pagans end efectivo tienes un 10% de descuento. Ps2.

I Just Want To Eat

I was looking for a noodle place near Christopher Street when I found Niu Noodle House on Greenwich. When we arrived, we realized that we passed many times in front of it. It is a nice place: big with a nice decor, the exposed bricks in some areas and wood all over the place giving a bit of warmth. What really interested me in this place is their menu: they offer a wide range of Asian dishes, from dim sum, noodles or soup (well they have much more).

Stopped here for late night dimsum and love their $1 daily dumplings!!! We had their combo for $11, which comes with 7 different dumplings and of course lychi martini to accompany! Great dumplings, great prices, and great service. I will definitely be back.

The thing to get here is alcoholic bubble tea. No, it is not something special that you can't make at home. It is simply bubble tea with a shot of rum ($5.00 extra) mixed in. Out of all the flavors, coconut is by far the best. The taste was really refreshing like virgin coconut water. The bubbles were sub-par by my standards. But still I ordered 2 of them just because I like rum. No, I am no an alky. My co-workers ordered their own after trying mine. The strawberry flavor was pretty good. Tasted like candy. Cotton. The mango flavor was delish but tasted a little watered down. The bubbles again was just okay. Dim sum in this area of West Village is a rare find and as such I did order some dishes as well. The soup dumplings were VERY disappointing. If the words "soup" is in the name, then soup is to be expected. Needless to say, out of the 4 soup dumplings, only 1 was semi soup-y. The ginger soy sauce is standard with soup dumplings. The scallion pancakes had a beautiful crunch but I found the scallions lacking overall. The peanut-y sauce was off putting. It should have came with the same ginger soy sauce that came with the soup dumplings. Again, STANDARD. Last but not least, one of my co-workers ordered the fried calamari which may have been the best dish ordered...in a Chinese restaurant...very strange. The small pieces of chips that were mixed in with the calamari had a nice chipotle/smoky taste which might be even better than the calamari itself. Service was fine. I forgot to take their 10% offer when paying in cash and their 30% off dim sum dishes during Happy Hour at the bar but I might give them another shot in the food department. Drink wise I'm okay trying them just once.

My friends and I wanted Dim Sum the other day, but we didn’t want to eat Dim Sum in the afternoon when you are actually supposed to eat it. Nor did we feel like taking the subway all the way to China Town. So I went to my trusty website Yelp and looked for a restaurant with a good rating, happy hour and of course Dim Sum. Niu Noodle House happened to be that place. Niu is located in the West Village area of NYC. One awesome thing about this restaurant is its not busy (don’t know why), which means it’s quiet. Great place for getting a group of friends together! They also hand-make their Dim Sum everyday. My friend Carol and I got there early to partake in the happy hour, which is from 4:00pm – 7:00pm 7 days a week. Speciality drinks are $7, and select Dim Sum is 30% off. We both ordered their Lychee Martini. I love Lychee, and what a great way to consume it. The only crappy thing about their happy hour is you have to sit at the bar. When the rest of our group arrived we got down to business and ordered our food. I ordered Chicken Soup Dumplings. Oh soup dumplings, you make my soul happy. The trick to eating a soup dumping is biting the top off the dumpling, then slurping out the soup. Ah, so good! I also ordered the Crab Meat, Pork and Chive Dumplings. Carol ordered Sizzling Beef Noodles with teriyaki sauce. She was very happy with her meal. Other items ordered by our dinner party included: Crab Meat and Pork Soup Dumplings, Veggie Dumplings, Beef TriBeCa Noodle Soup, and Pork Soup Dumplings. The food was good and exactly what we wanted. Was it the best dumplings I’ve ever had? No, but we all enjoyed ourselves, and I’ll probably go back.

So good. Some of the best dim sum Great service Friendly curious staff Amazing cocktails Must go

Girl Meets Food

Start with soft, fluffy bao buns with tender duck in Niu’s special sauce. Shao mei firmly stands up to a good steam, and is always a good idea when drizzled in truffle oil. Crabmeat and pork soup dumplings ($6) get an A in flavor, though the delicate skins must be handled most gingerly to avoid losing valuable slurpable liquid. Noodles here are made fresh every day, and one standout is the Beef Trifecta ($14) with flank steak, short ribs, beef steak, asparagus, scallions, sweet corn, seaweed, crisp fish skin and fresh noodles–bathed in a milky, op

The restaurant itself was bustling on a Friday evening, and pretty much all the tables looked like they were filled between 7:30 and 9:30 PM. The space was dark and had a great vibe to it, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful, being super attentive during the entire meal. My water glass was never completely empty omce (and I drink a lot of water)!
