Definitely recommend. I recently had the beef bone broth with beef noodle soup with the pork and chive dumplings. Soup broth was tasty, but I was glad to have the side of chili oil to make things more interesting. Beef was well flavored and tender. Knife noodles were plentiful and absorbed broth well. Also tried the pork and chive dumplings-- definitely get the peanut sauce and chili oil to pair up a spicy little combo. Ingredients seemed fresh and high quality. Definitely needed to heat up the broth when I got home because it arrived in the cooler temperatures but very much still great. Service was prompt and friendly. Items were packaged well. I would definitely return for more soup and dumplings and more. read more

A solid spot near Columbia to grab food - It's almost like Chinese-style Chipotle where you create your own bowls with a variety of ingredients. My personal favorite is the scallion oil noodles with some braised meat and vegetables! read more

Junzi Kitchen - classic chicken noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I came here for lunch with some friends and we had an overall good time. The space has lots of seating and you order in a line, item by item to build your bowl. I got a salad with tomato egg sauce, BBQ chicken, cucumber, red cabbage, bok choy, and cilantro, green onion, and mandarins as garnishes. If we show our student ID, we get a 5% discount with a coupon card. The server also told me that if we ordered online, it would be 10% off. Service was really nice! I thought the food was fine overall though. It wasn't bad, but for a $15 bowl, slightly pricey for what you are given. read more

Junzi Kitchen - jumbo pork wonton (4 pc) - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Excellent Asian take-out food! Love the option to build your own bowl, with various noodle options as base rather than just to rice or salad. Portion sizes are generous. The pork was deliciously flavored and juicy, and the soy egg was perfectly cooked. Online order was ready on time and the staff was friendly & quick at pick up. read more

It's a fast food for Asian cuisine. The food was mediocre and I expected more. There were no physical menus and I couldn't pull the menu up on my phone. I also couldn't read the board well. It was actually more confusing with the way the described how to creat your own bowl. They had a bunch of options listed on one menu, but the staff didn't know what I was taking about. I almost walked out until a staff helped me. She was nice but it took me 10 minutes if trying to decipher a menu. I just wanted a prepaid bowl, and I didn't expect to have to order like a chipotle. Take it as you'd like. Go in with minimal expectations. Printed menus would be helpful too. read more

I am a big fan of create your own bowls! I had the salad with braised beef along with various vegetables and crunchy toppings. The service was quick and I thought the portion was appropriate (came out to about 17 dollars with tax). I went during lunch time and there was a good crowd. Can't wait to go back! read more

Ordered the wide noodle with tomato egg sauce. The egg seems like yolk and the chunks end up being too solid in parts, but I really enjoy how fast and delicious the soup is. The make your own bowl has some good variety. The toppings are very generous. The pickled red cabbage in specific was a lot, but the taste was good. read more

Came here bc I'm a Lucas fan. I had pretty high hopes. My friend and I ordered the beef soup noodles and the accidentally got the veggie dumplings. The noodles were good but overall flavor was sweeter than I liked. Beef was tender and good portions of beef and noodle. The dumplings were steamed so they took very long. They were done after we finished eating our noodles, but they were very good. I would order them again. read more

Noodles are delicious! Good spot near Columbia campus. If you order online you get a discount too. There's only a few people working though so it takes a bit. Took one star off because although the noodles were good, the chicken I added for the protein was super dry. Everything else was great though. Jasmine tea was good too read more

I am a regular, and I mean 2 to 3 times a week at Junzi Columbia U. The food is outstanding. I don't write reviews, but I have to for Junzi. I usually order online or to go. I always know I'll get fresh food. I am a vegan and the quality of the food is wonderful. I usually order knife noodles. with griddled tofu and lots of their veggies, including cabbage. To top it all off, their wonderful furu sesame sauce. Please stop by there if you are in the Columbia University neighborhood. Julie read more

I'm a big Junzi fan!! Healthy, customizable bowls. I like both the noodles and the rice options and my fav protein is the mapo tofu. The spicy sesame sauce is also the best.

Junzi Kitchen - custom rice bowl - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

This place is a great to grab a quick meal to go or catch up casually with friends. I opted for a to go option on a late dinner night, and was pleased with the quick service model. The employee on staff at the time was very helpful in understanding what flavors go well together for a first timer like me! The service model is fast casual, but considering I don't eat this cuisine of food very often it makes you feel a bit more...upscale? Its definitely not something I would put in fast-food esque category, but higher tier than chipotle as a comparison. I opted for a build your own, and felt that the meal was satisfying, tasty, and flavorful. The portion size was great, and the ingredients were great quality. (You must try the ginger scallion sauce) I will say that it was a bit difficult to pick which noodle to start with, but they all seem great and no bad choice could be made. I did not realize you pick your type of noodle before the sauce. I'd definitely opt for the knife (wide) next time! Pricing seems on par for NY - $13ish with a student discount, and is worth it for a meal you probably could not make so easily at home! Would definitely come again when I'm in the area :) read more

This time going to Junzi Kitchen the atmosphere was still beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, but the customer service wasn't as vibrant or engaging as last time. Also, my ramen bowl had great meat and vegetables but the sesame sauce did not pair well with the spring noodles in my opinion. Overall, a decent experience. read more

The best beef soup ever, the meat is soft, tasty and tender. The broth also so good, I usually get my soup with less noodles. The workers are thee best & very friendly. ​ read more

Flavor wise the food was good. However the skinny thin noodles with the beef noodle bowl were not memorable or chewy so that was disappointing. Overall this bowl was liquidy. I told the clerk I'm dining here but she still put the lids over my bowls. read more

Healthy fast food. I love how you can customize your own bowl of noodles. All of the options are displayed for you to choose from. I ordered spring noodles with mapo tofu, bok choy, bean sprouts, cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, and fried onions. My bowl was so tasty. I enjoyed all of my choices except for the cucumbers. Although they were good, I don't think they paired well with the rest of the ingredients that I chose. This is a good spot if you're ever around the area and in need of a quick meal. read more

Junzi Kitchen - Design Your Own (spring noodles, mapo tofu, bok choy, bean sprouts, cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, fried onions) - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Junzi is the best food I've gone on Columbia'a campus. It feels clean and fresh and healthy. I ordered online and it was ready very quickly! The inside is also very clean and pleasant but there is no Wi-Fi if you want to complete some work. My biggest qualm is how expensive the food here is. $17 is a lot for a one meal size bowl. read more

The reason why I wanted to come here was because I'm a big fan of Lucas Sin, one of Junzi Kitchen's co-founders. If you've never heard of him and are interested in learning the history of Hong Kong cuisine and what "authentic" Chinese food is (plus admire the creativity he brings in his cooking), then you have to check out his Youtube videos, in which he drops some serious knowledge. I hadn't heard of the other co-founders (they are displayed on an informational frame inside the restaurant), but I'm definitely going to look them up now. What I really wanted to try at Junzi Kitchen was the tomato egg drop noodles, because it's a twist on a childhood comfort food. My order was a custom noodle bowl ($14.49) -- Cantonese BBQ chicken, spring (thin) noodles, tomato egg drop sauce, bean sprouts, cucumber, spicy pickled chayote, scallions, cilantro, crispy shallots. Thoughts on individual elements: the BBQ chicken was fantastic. They used good pieces of chicken and were generous with the portion. Cucumbers, bean sprouts, and the pickled chayote added the freshness. I regretted not choosing hand-cut thick noodles, but changed my mind after trying the thin noodles -- they were al dente and the sauce clung to them very well. The fried shallots and cilantro were a perfect garnish. In my opinion, the shining star of the bowl was the tomato egg drop sauce. It had a mellowness that harmonized the rest of the elements. With my first bite, I felt transported. The flavor hinted more of baked tomato pork chop rice, one of my favorite Hong Kong western-style dishes, than the tomato egg I was expecting, but I was really impressed nevertheless. read more

wow it's so close to campus it was my first time going here LOL. i forgot the context in which we ate here but we spilt TEA. it's so interesting that this even happened because if you asked me in tenth grade if this ever happened my number one answer would be no bro. this would never in a million years happen especially in new york freaking city. like imagine telling my past self that. crazy. person i never knew who sat across from me in sophomore english and yet i was eating with them a mere 3 years later across the country like actual wtf. it literally was just an asian chipotle. i thought it was really good though or maybe i was just hungry. but maybe i'll go there again because it was pretty fire. but anyways we stayed till after closing cuz the tea was just being spilt but i felt bad because no one was still there except us but they we became socially aware and left. but ya a solid place and if i am ever not lazy and want food off campus maybe i'll head here! 4.5 stars! read more

I can't believe it took quarantine for me to finally write a review of Junzi Kitchen! This spot has been my go-to lunch spot for the past two years, ever since it opened. My favorite combos: - knife noodles (they are the absolute best noodles I've ever gotten from a chipotle-esque restaurant) - oyster mushrooms - a bunch of other toppings including sprouts and Buddha's palm if they have it - tofu or the beef or the chicken. They're all good - sweet bei sauce on the side Throw this in a whole wheat roll too if you like. Then add their addictive chili sauce to the mix and you're in lunch heaven. Currently, during quarantine they're offering delivery of a meal pack, which is cheaper than. Just ordering individual meals. Give it a try! Their spicy chicken was amazing. read more

Very millennial business! I like it here. The food is very authentic, clean and taste true to what I usually have at home. The flavors are delicious and yet you still feel light afterwards. The presentation is very modern with an aesthetic appeal. You can custom make your bowl, salad and wraps. However I really like their Vegan Garlic Chili Mushroom Wrap and their Firecracker Chicken Millet Rice bowl. They're very flavorful with every bite. They also have tea on tap. I like their jasmine tea... it's so soothing, followed by their oolong tea. They also have a reward program where a dollar spent is equivalent to a point.... 50 points accumulated is equivalent to a complimentary tea and 100 points is equivalent to a complimentary bowl or wrap. read more
