Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
Eugene C.

While there are a plethora of great restaurants in Chinatown, it's always good to give the ones not on the main strip of Mott or Canal St a try as they are also very good. Fok Noodles is a cozy, hole in the wall type restaurant that is on a side street in the East Broadway section of Chinatown. It is your prototypical good food with no frills type of place. On a recent visit, I ordered the duck noodle soup and the Taiwanese beef noodle soup to go. Both were very good. There were others in line who were raving about the dumplings, which I will have to try next time. For Noodles is not really a date spot due to the lack of ambiance but it is a good takeout spot.

pork soup dumplings
Sophia W.

Casual, cozy, small restaurant with lots of options for food. The staff were kind and the food came out quickly. The Chinese sausage in the clay pot rice was a bit too salty, the soup dumplings were good. I liked the soup in the fish tips noodle soup.

Fried thing...
Marina C.

This is for Fok Express. I was close by so we went in to check it out. Small place. Few chairs for dining in. I got some har gow and some fried ....dumpling thing. The har gow was really salty in some areas ...the fried thing took a long time to make but it was freshly fried at least. L ate two of them. He did like it..but I didn't want him to eat too much fried stuff so we threw away the last one even though it was really small. I saw someone order char siu over rice but he wanted it hot... shrimp dumplings aren't cheap now but I've had better .. the fried thing was so small. I don't think the order was worth $5.. maybe I should've tried the spicy wontons instead.

Good deal
Nancy A.

Very affordable dishes that you cannot get these days due to inflation. For $5, you can get chili wontons, Taiwanese sliced noodles, and fried salad dumplings. The char siu over rice is $5.99 and that is what I got. It came in a nice rectangle size container and portions were big for that price. Char siu was not fatty and they gave a lot. I also got the Taiwanese noodles and they were flat and broad noodles. They put a lot of chili flakes and seeds were everywhere on the noodles. It was somewhat spicy but it was bearable until I started the chili wontons and my mouth was on fire! They were so damn spicy that I needed to finish my whole water bottle and my mouth was still burning hot! My nose kept running too! Sucks! I had to drink milk afterwards to neutralize my mouth! The wontons were good but it was too hot for me!

Steamed Rice Roll
Grace W.

A cozy joint offers comfort HK style food. The service was good and food quite decent. I've tried the Steamed Rice Roll, Saltwater Moon (咸水角), and Pork W.Salty Fish Clay Pot Rice. I want to come back and try some noodle soup.

Menu 5/2025

Fok Noodles is located east of Bowery. Walking from the South, we actually missed it bec of the sharp turn to Catherine St. Passed the kitchen/BBQ meats, to the small space in the back with tables close to each other. Was recommended to me for their roast meats so got a pick-2-over rice: roast pig and roast duck. Roast pig was in tiny, fatty pieces. Portion is less than Hay Hay Roasted; but both meats were tasty. Claypot rice with pork with salty fish came out plain-looking. I thought would have some veggies but none. Were told to add the claypot sauce ourselves which I like so can control the amount/saltiness. I did like the toasted rice at the bottom. Siumai and warm Purple rice soup were ok. Credit card use service fee - 3.5%. Service was good. There's a restroom, was clean.

Fok Noodles, previously known as E Noodle Cafe, serves dumplings, dim sum, a whole variety of noodles, congee, and more. It's a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant specializing in Cantonese style food, and really really great steamed pork & chive dumplings! $5 (8) fried salmon dumplings - Compared to pork dumplings, the salmon has less of a chew, but that's where the fried skin comes in. It goes well inside the fried dumplings. There's some onions and carrots inside, and it comes with sweet chili sauce to dip. $7.50 (6) steamed pork & chive dumplings - Beautiful folds. Juicy, fresh, and delicious. Each dumpling is $1.25 but taste-wise and quality-wise, these are top tier - from the moment I opened the box and the steam hit my face. Our order of dumplings did take a while to get to us (about 20 minutes), so come if you're not in a rush anywhere!

veggie dumplings
Stephanie N.

Five stars for good price, good portions, and delicious comfort food. Got the hoisin peanut rolls and veggie dumplings and they were both SUPERB. I will def come back here. Ambiance is your divey hole in the wall chinese place with food made fast and efficient and service as well.

Christopher Y.

Quite literally a hole in the wall spot! Located on Catherine street, this Hong Kong inspired restaurant has great eats, ranging from soup dumplings, dim sum to noodle soup. Prices are fairly cheap and you can definitely get a whole meal without breaking the bank :) we got the soup dumplings, pan friend vegetarian noodles & the Hong Kong style noodle w/ soup on the side. Everything was made fresh to order and we didn't leave any for leftovers lol. I definitely wanna come back to this place and try some other stuff

Clay pot rice
Victoria G.

Food 7/10 The juiciest fried dumplings I've had in a while. I think I burnt my tongue because I got overexcited. They were plump and crispy on the outside, with just the right amount of seasoning. Slightly oily but honestly, they brought me joy. The clay pot was solid too, but less so compared to the dumplings. I like how it makes the rice crispier after it sits in the pot for a while, but thought the rice to sausage ratio was a bit off. Atmosphere 7/10 A hole in the wall type of Chinese restaurant, pretty much only frequented by locals. I'm sure there's a rich history behind it too. Service 10/10 Super friendly staff and very quick service. Unlimited refills of tea, which I hugely appreciated in the cold winter weather.

N20.Peanut Noodles
Becca K.

Went to Fok Noodles for a quick bite along our food tour in Chinatown NYC! Peanut noodles was not overpowering with the peanut flavor and has a little bit of a spicy kick which I enjoyed. The soup dumplings were pretty solid.

Jacqueline C.

Dumplings were so plump and filled with juicy pork and veggies, I took my son here because he's a dumplings lover and I found this place on tik tok and it did not disappoint, my son loved it I enjoyed it myself and we said we would return, service was good they checked on us to make sure we was good and I love how small the spot was, more of a cultural experience for my son and he enjoyed it was his first time in Chinatown

Clay pot rice
Mary L.

Came here for the clay pot rice, and THAT WAS GOOD! Originally wanted to also try some congee but I guess that's not what they're know. For. It's not bad though. But the clay pot rice is really good! It was pretty empty for a Saturday morning and the service was relatively quick.

As the name implies, it really is an excellent dumpling house!…read more Me and my buddies were in Jersey and New York for some hockey games, and wanted to go to a deli, get some Chinese food, and a slice of pizza. Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

The pacing of the meal for the quantity of food received seemed very rushed, and we didn't really have a chance to relax and enjoy any of the courses. However, the quality of the experience was a complete disaster particularly for the price. Clearly, the packed restaurant would disagree, but for the four of us anyway, we would not return. It started with the check in process at what felt like a long hotel front desk with multiple, self important hosts and hostesses overseeing your entrance to the cavernous bar/waiting area. One problem is the noise is so deafening that you can't really hear what they say to you but we check in a few minutes early and waited obediently in the bar area chatting. After about 30 minutes (15 after our reservation time), and watching numerous parties large and small who arrived after us be seated by the hostesses wandering through the dimly lit space who peer quizzically and ask your name, my husband went to ask for an update. (We joked that those vibrating lighted buzzers alerting when your table was ready would have been super helpful, but it was amusing to watch while we waited). It was clear they somehow lost track of us as she had him repeatedly spell our (not unusual) name. Anyway, after that, within 10 minutes after that we were taken downstairs to our seats (but not before standing awkwardly in the large dining area near packed tables waiting while our table was cleaned). Server with a heavy accent was kind and mostly helpful so none of this is on him. The busser who managed to spill half a pitcher of cold water on my husband's back, soaking his shirt and jacket and barely apologizing, is a whole other story. We managed to get a glass of his mediocre Cabernet comped for the experience. If I sound annoyed, I guess I still am. I had high hopes for a fun and tasty experience in a cool part of the city and it just wasn't.

I'm a lower middle-class Jersey guy - what the heck do I know about cocktails?  But I dove right into one ("Jade Collins") and it was firing on all cylinders.  Crisp, clean, strong enough to knock over an ox. Then we got a handful of apps - everyone else swore by all the ones they'd had - but I just tried the Salt & Pepper Shrimp and... sweet baby Jesus, this little plate had a wicked amount of flavor from every angle.  "Aggressively seasoned" might be an understatement.  Wild. Onto the mains and I ventured towards their Spicy Drunken Noodle (my go-to whenever I'm hitting a Thai restaurant on my home turf) and... yeah, you probably guessed it - incredible. Not the biggest portion but they made every single component sing with flavor. With so much going on - of course I needed to indulge with another drink (hey, I wasn't driving!). There were six of us, it came to about $100 a person... welcome to NYC. But we did get a wide selection of plates/food and those two drinks accounted for about $40 of my tab. (And you'll never see such a heavy wine pour at a restaurant... they filled the glass almost to the rim - which was not even something I'd do for myself when I'm home.) Definitely recommended.

Yeah Id say that was a pretty splendid meal. Shared everything thank goodness…read more Started with the wok fried beef dumplings which were good on their own but had this fire ahh spicy honey mustard wow. Then the scallion pancakes which were crispy and airy paired with this very interesting sauce that was clear but tasted like sweet and sour sauce. For mains we got Kung Pao Chicken which was pretty delicious but my star of the show was the Crispy Beef. It was crispy asf and skinny too I didn't know you could make beef skinny like that. Sauce was super tasty and thick. On the side was broccoli which was fine and eggplant which was fine on its own and good with the chili sauce. Split the Fortune Cookie Red Velvet Cake which okay I thought there would be more creativity with adding fortune cookies somewhere in the cake but it was just a cake with fortune cookies on top. Also they put 2 when we had 4 people like lowkey they couldve just put 2 more on there but anyways the cake itself was pretty tasty so can't complain there.

The food is all over the place but the main theme is that everything is over-seasoned to please the crowd of people who all were gulping down colorful sugary cocktails with dinner while wearing athletic clothing. Peking duck (for 4-5) had great accompaniments (rare to actually get bao with it) but it was a lackluster portion of duck. Salt and pepper shrimp were offensively salted. Special "mignon" was great. The hand-pulled noodles *gasp* weren't hand pulled. "BBQ" chicken in the other noodles was very dry. Sea bass portion was very small. Scallion pancakes were good. Shrimp dumplings were the highlight. I recommend skipping this restaurant.
