Small cozy space with friendly staff and affordable food. It was $10 for dumpling noodle soup and $13.50 for basil chicken fried rice. The dumpling noodle soup is on the blander side but comes with a bowl of minced pork sitting in chili oil. I'd recommend using all the sauces available for maximum flavor.

We love coming back here for Mama's special meat paste. I would get the N30 special minced pork paste noodles each time. The honey lemon tea is also very refreshing. The menu also seems to be updated. Would strongly recommend!

Sweet potato noodles
Deanna G.

This is the spot!! Little hole in the wall with some of the best Chinese soup I've ever had. Get the sweet potato noodles they're bouncy and tender, perfect pairing for the spicy broth. The braised beef is melt in your mouth tender and all for only $11!?

shrimp dumpling noodle soup

I came to grab an order of the shrimp dumpling noodle soup to go. The place is very small, but there is an area by the window with chairs to sit and eat. There was a pile of dumpling wrappers and a mound of stuffing laying out on the table. The lady was very nice when she took my order. It was ready in a few minutes. I couldn't wait to taste it. I loved the shrimp dumplings. The noodles were too soft. The broth was very mild tasting. Overall it was very satisfying. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to come back here.

Beef Stew Noodle Soup
Cecilia L.

Such a small and cozy spot here at mama noodle house Their beef noodle soup base SLAPS and it's soooo beefy flavored We got the beef stew ho fun and house special with ho fun!! Didn't know they have HO FUN which is my fave and been craving for a while so craving def satisfied here!! Their homemade hot chili paste even has minced meat inside?! That's such a nice surprise They also take Cash or Zelle only here

House Special Ma Ma Noodle Soup - so good! Wow I'm still thinking about it

Cute small shop tucked away in the corner of a street. The restaurant is small maybe barely 500 sq ft but on a cold rainy day when we visited, it felt welcoming and warm. Although there are no fancy decorations nor furniture, we opted to dine in since there weren't others when we visited. We did see multiple people coming in for take out orders. The ambiance feels like a small coffee shop/food stall with window seating but instead they serve delicious comfort Chinese food. We got: - House special Mama Noodle 10/10 - Basil Chicken Ho Fun 10/10 - Herbal Tea 10/10 Everything was so tasty here. It's the perfect comfort food. The Mama Noodle is the best version of beef noodle soup I've had. I never liked how simple beef noodle soup is but this version is loaded with everything. You not only get the tender & juicy beef cube and homemade noodles - you also get curry fish balls, tofu, hard boiled eggs, topped with plenty of vegetables! It's so good especially on a cold rainy day. The perfect dish. We wanted to try a dry noodle dish as well and the basil ho fun was delicious! One of the highlight was the house made (ground pork/shallot?) chili sauce that she gave to us along with some black vinegar. Definitely ask for some of that sauces with any order!! It tastes good on everything.... The herbal tea has the right mixture of bitter and sweet. Other places either have it too sweet or too bitter. It's so satisfying to wash down everything with the herbal tea at the end of the meal. Before you go, don't forget to grab some frozen house-made dumplings to cook for later. We got 30 pieces and it was only $12. The owners were very generous with the fillings. I never want to buy frozen dumplings from grocery stores anymore! You have these options: - shrimp wonton - pork dumpling - pork chive dumplings The shrimp wonton and the pork chives are my favorite!

House Special Ma Ma Noodle Soup
Kelly N.

This is a small restaurant with mainly take away orders. There are 4 chairs total. We decided to eat there since we were ordering house special soup. We ordered Hot and Spicy Wonton, Minced Pork Noodle & House Special Ma Ma Noodle Soup. Spicy wontons were full of meat and delicious. The minced pork noodles had the same spicy bean sauce as the wontons. I ordered the house special Ma Ma noodle soup with potato noodles. The soy sauce egg was a tad sweet than what I preferred. There were 3 chucks of beef stew and 3 fishballs. Beef stew was tasty. Service was good as Ma Ma was very attentive.

Ordered the Dan Dan noodle , mama noodle soup and hot pot fish .. was so delicious and flavorful... my favorite is the Dan Dan noodle ... so delicious when u add more chili crisp on it

Tom Yum Noodle
Wing L.

This is a mom and pop restaurant. It's on the sidewalk street. You can easily overlook if you are not looking for it. The owner is very friendly. This place has cook and frozen dumplings and wontons. I was surprised to see frozen wontons so I ordered some to take home. I got the Tom Yum Noodle and the mixed pork noodle. Both noodles are very flavorful. If you stopped by the restaurant, don't forget to try the hot oil.

I was craving dumplings in this cold weather so I stopped by Mama's Noodle House! With features in the NYT, they pride themselves on their home cooking, soup noodles, and dumplings. I got try their 3 dumplings (2 in soup form, 1 in fried form). Factoring the differences in preparation, I still think my favorite was the pork and chives ones just because I liked its seasoning profile better. The wontons were different from the ones I'm use to at more traditional canto places. This one is more pork-forward (less shrimp and white pepper flavors). The N4 I got was without noodles but I still got a generous serving of dumplings and veggies. The dumpling wrapping was fine - got a little mushy towards the end but still encased everything nicely. My partner's mama house special noodle was solid. The braised beef pieces were tender and well-seasoned. Noodles, fish balls, and the soup were good and pretty standard. Be sure to try them with their chili oil!! Not only is it warmed up but also with meat pieces packed with soy bean and chili flavors. Its not that spicy but complements the dumplings and noodles well! This mom and pop shop does have some seating but not a lot. They were super nice and a plus if you speak Cantonese. Cash preferred but they do have Zelle!!!

The short: as soon as you walk into Mama's Noodle House, you can feel the food is made with love. If you sit and eat, and come back a second time, mama remembers you & you feel like you belong in her restaurant. Can't recommend this spot highly enough - everything is delicious. The longer: this is a relatively small spot, but mama has tables and chairs and will set you up if you want to sit down and eat, but it seems many also do takeout. Simply, everything I've eaten has been delicious. All the dumplings and wontons -- especially the fried dumplings and the hot & spicy steamed dumplings -- are incredible. Their noodle dishes (dry) are next level. Their soup broths are incredibly flavorful. They even make their own lemonade! You should definitely come here if you're in the area!

I just pulled up Apple Maps and searched for food nearby and Shan popped up. We were actually in the mood for some Asian cuisine so when we saw "Szechuan cuisine" in the description we knew we had to give it a shot. As soon as you walk in, your attention is pulled to the elegant cocktail bar and beautiful mural of a mountain behind it; I loved the vibe of the place. I ordered the pork dumplings in chili oil to start followed by Chungking Spicy Chicken and they were both delicious. The portion for the chicken was also quite shareable; I ended up needing help from the rest of the group to finish it . Also keep in mind this is an authentic Szechuan restaurant; when they say something is spicy, it's spicy! Luckily they have some refreshing options for dessert that feel quite soothing after all the spice. Not only was the food delicious but the hospitality was exceptional as well. For example, the staff was always smiling and quite attentive. If a glass of water was almost empty they would refill it without the need to ask. When I accidentally dropped my chopsticks they immediately picked them up and replaced them. All in all I had a great time and highly recommend this spot, definitely coming back!!

One of the most spectacular meals I've had in NYC in a hot minute. And it's been a while since I…read morefound a dish I liked enough to obsess over. But let's start from the beginning. My friend had been here before and wanted to come again for her birthday. She made a reservation swiftly, and even though we were on time for our reservation, we still had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table when we arrived. The lobby was buzzing with people waiting to get seated. It was a little more peaceful in the dining room, with a small chatter. However, it progressively got louder during dinner, and I hate having to talk over other people to be heard, so I gave up on conversing during the meal. But that's fine since my mouth was busy enjoying all the good food. Dan dan noodles $14 : 5/5 stars I was disappointed by the small portions and the overall appearance, and while yes, it is small, don't judge a book by its appearance. It looks bland and dry but that's far from the truth. It was flavorful with a strong kick of spice and plenty of sauce. I would 100% get this again. Cucumber salad $14 : 5/5 stars $14 for just cucumbers is kind of absurd but I can't deny that it was delicious. Every restaurant does cucumber salad a little differently, and the ones at Antidote are coated in this creamy green sauce that made the app so hard to stop munching on. Not sure if I would get this again because of the price. Shredded duck fried rice $18 : 2.5/5 stars Honestly the pricing is really weird to me because what do you mean a cucumber salad is only $4 cheaper than a whole entree with protein? Anyway, I was looking forward to this interesting-sounding fried rice dish, but alas, I was not a fan. The duck was smoked and imparted a smoky taste to the whole dish that I did not enjoy. However, my friends loved it. Chestnut short ribs $30: 4/5 stars The ribs were fall-off-the-bone good but the chestnuts could've been a tad softer. There weren't that many ribs for $30. Youtiao shrimp $20 : 100/5 stars Literally the best item on the menu. It came with some pineapple pieces. It tastes just like the deep fried shrimp with walnuts and mayo at Chinese banquet meals. I truly think about this almost every day since I've had it. I can't wait to have it again.

Disappointing. Tea-smoked duck overpowered with way too much smoke. The kung pao chicken lacked…read moreflavor and spice. I enjoyed the scallion pancake. Service not great, waited too long for a napkin after requesting an additional one.

The standout obviously was the fish for two. It came out bubbling, filled with little mushrooms and peppers in a wonderful broth that was earthy and savory. The fish itself was delicious, crunchy, not too boney and deeply flavorful The wontons were juicy and firm with a well balanced sauce and the "mouthwatering chicken" was surprising and tasty. It's thigh meat served lukewarm in a bath of sauce filled with sichuan peppercorns and covered in minced peanuts. It's fantastic. Come here! The prices are reasonable too. This is elevated food and I got out of the establishment having spent only $75 for two. You can spend that kind of money for two eating some terrible lunch in midtown fairly easily. Come here!

Staff was very attentive, but we were seated at this isolated table at the front of the restaurant where the waiters can't really access things like dishes to be cleared or water refills without awkward passing back and forth. There's also a round window right there - makes for a distracting fishbowl feel with people passing by on the street peeking in. Then, the food...it was ok. We ordered 10 things, at least, but here we are just a few weeks later and I cant remember a single one of them as a standout.

I had to make the stank face after trying the chili oil and accompanying flavors, it's like a soft tangy and spicy flavor that is incredible, definitely house made. The tea was a rose sweet green tea, tastes great- the teapot was heavy which I loved The citrus bloom drink was presented spectacularly, the glass and the dried yellow flower on top was a great addition. It tastes like citrus with only a hint of alcohol The mapo tofu is awesome, I had it without beef but it's soft and has that mouth numbing you get from Sichuan. It's probably the most tingling I've gotten, my whole mouth and lips Absolutely beautiful aesthetic, there is peaceful string music playing the whole time and the entire place is decorated stunningly The service was amazing, the server told me how they make the appetizer as well as poured the cup of tea for me, other than that you normally order on the iPad which makes things very easy.

All of them were served in a similar Sichuan chili sauce. It was on the milder side, so there was only a slight numbness in the mouth. Definitely a great way to introduce people to this cuisine who are hesitant about spiciness. For the main course, we shared the Ma Po Tofu. This item was marked with three chilis on the menu indicating it is the highest spice level here. It was definitely the spiciest item by far. You get the full mala effect with a bold pepper flavor plus big time numbing that lingers well after. It was my favorite dish but might not be for everyone. Rice is not included so be sure to add at least one order. They have a full bar with lots of house cocktails. Some wines and a handful of beers including draft options. There are two single occupancy restrooms with one being handicap accessible. The staff was super hospitable. They were extra accommodating and made our experience wonderful.
