Noodle Village

Visiting New York City trying to find out what’s the best place to go for Chinese food in Chinatown to get that experience we found it order two orders of the appetizer dumplings what is your mother housemaid fried rice and then the noodles and dumplings are amazing and you will have gotten that experience. I get this place five stars for flavor and taste and the servers are really nice

Well here I am in New York visiting relatives, after surviving one of the worse Ontario snowstorms in the past 10 years and what do you know, 3 days after my arrival NYC gets a blizzard with 50mph wind gusts (snow was coming down fast & sideways) during my short stay. Can't seem to get away from the snow. Now back to the food, allowed my sister to do the ordering: Pork soup dumplings- excellent, came out piping hot, thin skin, savory liquid and the minced pork had the right texture to it Clay pot rice- if you are an aficionado of clay pot rice, STAY AWAY, white rice did not absorb any flavor from it's toppings. Toppings very ordinary, just plain tasteless chicken pieces and mushrooms. Mince pork/salty fish a little better only because the salty fish as always dominates the flavor profile. With the clay pots, you get a squeeze bottle of thick black salty liquid as added flavoring which you will need, too salty for my preferences. I give the dumplings 5 stars and the clay pot rice 1 stars. If my math teacher taught me correctly, that would average out to an overall 3 star rating Btw, get out and support the Chinatown businesses, these are honest hard working people struggling to earn a living during these difficult Covid times.

Made a visit here per friend of friend’s recommendation. -Chicken Congee: limited amount per day, but congee itself doesn’t have type of texture I like, and also one here tasted bit blend. However, the chicken inside of it was very juicy and well seasoned. So overall bit confusing menu. -Soup dumpling: disappointing as soup inside was not hot at all -Hot pot rice: Nothing very sophisticated but I liked it a lot. Hot stone plate makes the rice very crispy and work so well with meats. Overall it wasn’t bad and I might make another visit probably for trying out noodle.

This is a great little gem of a Hong Kong style noodle and dumpling spot in Chinatown. It wasn’t too crowded but the xiaolongbao/soup dumplings were some of the best I’ve had in New York - with paper thin wrappers and full of rich broth. The wonton soup was also really good and perfect for a cold day.

9/19/21: Good spot. Had the shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup, the clay pot (hot pot) rice with spare rib, and the mustard green, pumpkin congee, and the pork soup dumplings. All were very good. My favorite was the clay pot rice with spare rib though. 3/31/22: Had the "Braised beef brisket w/ curry sauce lo mein." Excellent and unique dish. The curry beef tastes similar to Malaysian or Indian curry. The beef, noodles, and broth each come in their own bowl which I liked.

I bought the Dumpling Black egg pork Noodle Soup. I like the way that they package the soup in two different containers. One has the liquid part in a standard Chinese quart container while the dumplings and noodles are in a covered bowl. It was $9.53 on the in resturant menu. Beware, Seamless lists it at $11.75 and then charges you $2 delivery fee, and put their "fees" combine with the taxes so another $2. So almost $16 (plus tip) for the same thing I bought for $9.53. One star taken off for trying to charge me a fee to use my debit card.
