    Beef noodle? Who knows
    Seth R.

    This was literally my noodle bowl. Maybe give them a break because it was take out? Unbelievable.

    tomato egg noodles with slow-braised pork

    Came on a Saturday around 5:30pm. No wait. The staff was very friendly! It was my first time here after a recommendation from my friend. The food was amazing! Definitely coming back!

    My sugary love of a woman took me here to try their noodles. This place was really good and the food was fresh and satisfying. I had the fire crackers chicken with spring noodles, chili sauce, scallions, Cilantro, and bean sprouts. Quality ingredients! I forgot to ask for bok choy tho. This eatery is small with a few seats available but has big flavor! You get served quickly. I would definitely come back here to eat.

    So happy my sister suggested we go to this healthy modern Chinese noodle spot. (They have rice and lettuce too) You can build your own bowl going along the counter adding in items for the base, protein, veggies, and garnishes. I chose the knife noodles, firecracker chicken, cabbage, bean spouts, bok choy, cilantro, scallions, and crispy fried shallots. This was so delicious and tasted so clean. My only issue was the seating available was uncomfortable. I'd definitely will be coming back. So yummy!

    I haven't been here in a while & it didn't disappoint. I used to order from here all the time when I worked on Whalley Ave. I thought my sis & me can eat here then go to cookie 39 (for the Yelp Elite event) for dessert.They're literally right next to each other. The food here is delish!!It's always fresh & tasty! Food makes your tummy feel good! Restaurant is basically building your own bowls. You choose from noodles,rice, or salad & then add-on what you want! I chose my usual firecracker chicken w/ thin noodles,cucumbers,soy egg($1.50 extra fyi),mandarin oranges,corn, & cabbage. I asked for the firecracker sauce to be separated. Chicken was moist & had the right amount of spice. Other ingredients tasted so fresh & the noodles were steaming hot(just the way I like it). Firecracker sauce was fire (so good if you're into spicy stuff)!! I grabbed some Chinese candy on my way out. It had a white rabbit on it. It tasted like vanilla but chalky. Workers were very friendly & nice. Inside is really small but you can dine in(which me & my sis did).

    Modified Shanghai scallion chicken salad (subbed the corn with cucumber, and added egg)

    Happily stumbled upon Junzi today for a quick take-out lunch. Pretty much the Asian Chipotle. Clean atmosphere, with some seating in front. Staff was friendly and quick offer assistance. I ordered the Shanghai scallion chicken salad with a few modifications (no corn, added cucumbers and egg). The chicken was well flavored and the egg was a great addition. Everything in the salad paired so well, I barely used the dressing. It was perfect for a lighter healthier lunch for me. I do wish there was a little more protein given, especially for the almost $16 bowl. Regardless, will be back to try more off their menu.

    I ordered through UberEats and they royally f*cked up my order. I ordered a custom noodle bowl (see the 1st photo) and the 2nd was what arrived with my name on the receipt. Chicken vs. tofu is a HUGE mistake, but at the very least it does taste pretty good and I'm luckily not vegetarian or vegan. Do better please.

    Tomato Egg Noodles with Slow-Braised Pork
    Jules Y.

    I miss eating tomato and scrambled egg dishes, so I wanted to get the: -Tomato Egg Noodles with Slow-Braised Pork: 4/5 I loved the texture of the knife-cut noodles, as well as the tomato-enriched broth and bok choy. However, the meat had some kind of aftertaste to it, so it took me a while to finish. I think it's worth a try since everything else tasted really good. The staff were really friendly inside the store. You also get a cute teal-accented paper bag with your takeout.

    1/1 Ambience; 1.5/2 Food; 1/1 Service; 0.5/1 Value I frequented Junzi Kitchen a lot during my undergraduate years at Columbia when they first opened, so the brand is near and dear to my heart. I loved the fast-casual concept of tailored Chinese cuisine on late nights. The staff is very quick but helpful and patient if it is your first time or if you just need a moment to figure out amongst the many options, and the store was maintained beautifully. My friend got the braised beef bowl while I got a custom bowl with furu sesame knife noodles and firecracker chicken. The furu sesame has been my long time favorite for ages, and it didn't disappoint this time either. We both thought the food tasted fresh and delicious. However, the nearly $14 pre-tax cost is rather steep for the smaller portion sizes, especially since the veggie add-ins and garnishes are now capped since their initial opening.

    The Cantonese barbecue rice bowl is my FAVORITE bowl to get after sleeping through lunch. Junzi has a very chill vibe and the worker are always very nice! Definitely 10/10 recommend:)

    tomato egg noodles with slow-braised pork
    Jessica N.

    Surprisingly good. Not your place for traditional Chinese food, but incredibly creative without a compromise on flavor! It's like a chipotle for Chinese noodles (you can also make rice and salad bowls, but their noodle texture is pretty good, so I recommend trying it at least once. They don't just have the basic noodles either. Sauce was the best part, super savory and warm. The noodles soak it up well. Can add toppings and meat is good too. The service is friendly and quick, they can get pretty busy around lunch time! There is one table and some countertop style seating. Overall place looks clean and comfortable, but it can get cramped quickly. My usual go to is the knife cut noodles (fun shape and texture), with the tomato egg sauce or normal sauce. I also add the braised pork, which is so savory and soft! I like to get their corn, cabbage, and bean sprout toppings.

    Good food but not worth the price, if it were more food I would enjoy it more but good quality and clean place, nice people working as well

    Stopped by Junzi Kitchen in New Haven yesterday for the first time and let me tell you - it's so delicious! It's so good I already can't wait to go back. They have so many options and clearly state what's vegan. I also love that they have a build your own which is what I did. Yum. Yum. Their tofu!? The tea!? I need! Everything was so fresh too. The portions for their bowls are generous and the price is right! My partner and I shared a bowl and were satisfied. Definitely check them out. They're worth the drive from anywhere in CT

    Although it's far from authentic Chinese food, as a fast food restaurant, it's a good one.

    The noodles are good, especially with sesame source. They added a lot of ingredients so one plate is enough for girls. Will go back again!

I swear that's why I've always loved tofu! And I'm mostly vegan now the past 28 years, and my mother the past 12. This place is a staple in New Haven and testament to their good food for staying open all these years. When Claire's first opened vegetarian restaurants weren't a thing, and over the years the menu has shifted.. but it's always good. For me it's home cooking style, comfort food.. they have their own style. This place was around before everyone was freaking out about carbs.. thank god! I never leave without a cookie and a muffin for later.. they're the best! I recently got hooked on the Sunbuttter cookie, and also enjoy the Lithuanian coffee cake muffin. Soups and salads come with the classic Claire mini loaf! A delicious buttery(is it vegan? don't know) mini loaf of bread, just as tasty as I remember it from my childhood. Their oat milk Matcha Lattes are creamy and they don't slack on the matcha. The service is always friendly and helpful. The menu accommodates vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free options as well. enjoy!

    East Rock Market is an enclosed public market and food hall that opened in New Haven, Connecticut…read morein October 2021. It was founded by business partners Rishi Narang and John Ginnetti. Narang is a developer while Ginnetti is a restauranteur that also owns the cocktail bar 116 Crown as well as the sandwich shop Meat & Co. The old industrial building which now houses the market was the WWI-era Marlin Arms factory. Now known as East Rock Center, Narang's family has owned the building for over three decades. He brought in a few businesses over the years to fill the space, including East Rock Brewing Company, mActivity Fitness Center, and Rebel Hair Salon. Unfortunately, Narang could not find the right tenant for the full-service restaurant he envisioned. He then teamed up with Ginnetti to open New Haven's first food hall: a collaboration between local chefs and entrepreneurs. As of this writing, the food hall's current tenants are Meat & Co., Ground Up Coffee, Ozzy's Apizza, Rockfish Maki Bar, Don Rene Taqueria, and Rick's Bar. My older son and I recently stopped at East Rock Market for lunch. I had been meaning to stop by for some time. East Rock Market is a lot smaller than other food halls that I've been to in the past, but all of the tenants here are fantastic. There are so many great options for consumers: New Haven-style pizza, tacos, sushi, gourmet sandwiches, specialty coffee, hand-rolled bagels, and craft cocktails. There's also plenty of seating (both inside and outside). You can even order food to go and take it with you to East Rock Brewing, which is conveniently located next door. My son and I loved all of the options, but we decided to order a couple of delicious pies from Ozzy's Apizza. They were excellent! Nice time we stop in, we're interested in trying out some tacos from Don Rene Taqueria. Regardless of what you're looking for, East Rock Market is sure to have you covered!

We have been to all these spots except for Rick's. That spot never seems to be open for their posted hours and we go a lot. Plenty of seating and some really great food. It is attached to East Rock Brewing with its own parking lot across the street. This spot had a lot of potential and now it's showing some of it! Looking forward to watching it grow more!
