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

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!

BK Seafood Market was a refreshing find in Bay Ridge. We came for dinner with my wife, parents, and…read moresiblings and ordered a big family-style spread of more than 10 dishes. We had stir-fried snails, jellyfish, Dungeness crab, live steamed fish, braised eggplant with fish fillet, stir-fried cauliflower with preserved meats, coral shrimp, sliced conch with crispy tofu, beef with string beans, seasonal vegetables, and fish maw soup. Everything came out hot, delicious, and well seasoned. The Dungeness crab was a standout, and it was refreshing to enjoy such a wide variety of seafood and traditional dishes. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the entire meal. The interior was nicely done and felt different from many other Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn. Service was attentive, and they seated us in a corner where we could enjoy our family conversation without constant interruption. The food came out very quickly, maybe a little too quickly, but we were fine with it. They were unfortunately out of a few fish and clam options, as well as several wines, but it did not take away from a great dinner. Highly recommended for a family-style Chinese seafood meal in Bay Ridge.

My favorite was their chicken, eggplant and salted fish claypot dish. It's one of my favorite dishes in general and they made it very well. Definitely will come here more often and will rec my family to try this place out for our next family event.

If you regularly get Dim Sum, you know that East Harbor Seafood Palace is one of the classic spots…read moreto go to when in Brooklyn. As a lover of Dim Sum, I start my weekend morning by making the long commute just to get a taste of everything. The spot is constantly bustling with people moving in and out of the restaurant, the waiters running around, the carts strolling to each table, etc. These days, cart services have been decreasing, but it's nice to see that some spots have still kept them around. My rotation always includes the following-har gow, deep-fried noodlefish, shrimp cheong fun (rice noodle roll), zhaliang (fried dough rice noodle roll), chicken feet, and beef tripe-and now more recently, salt and pepper squid. I'm not even joking when I say this, but my mouth was salivating when they placed everything in front of us. Everything was fresh and just so full of flavor. I randomly get reminded of the taste and suddenly crave it again. We also have to thank the wonderful expeditors who would make sure we got everything we wanted. When the salt and pepper squid had run out of the carts, they made sure to request more for our table and got us a fresh, hot, and steaming plate of it. Everything at dimsum might seem very hectic and quick, but when you're sitting down with your family and friends, it can really feel calming. They also give you a choice of tea; we love getting chrysanthemum to wash down the grease from the fried food. There's no wonder people make this a weekly routine; it's just got everything you could need.

Quality/Quantity - So nice to see the rolling carts. It brings back so many memories. Most (if not…read moreall) restaurants in the west coast do not do this anymore to save $$$$, to save labor. But then they lose the suggestive sell, the impulse purchases, etc. Anyway, Brooklyn Chinatown was just okay, but since we were here, we decided to eat. Hard to beat NY and SF Chinatowns. Pictured menu, thank you. Got some fairly standard Dim Sum, see pictures. Similar quality as the west coast. Abalone Sui Mai was the only different thing we tried from the west coast, not bad. Tea is $1.50 per person. Ambiance - A good size restaurant. Busy. Private rooms available. Of course, you can also rent out the entire restaurant for banquets. Open 7 days a week from 9am to 10pm. Service - Good. The cart team is fairly aggressive at suggestive selling. Price - $31 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2009.

Ever since they moved to the new storefront though, every visit has just gotten worse. The spot itself is small but busy, enough that takeout orders are flying out. There's a self serve dine in area in the back, but it's unkept. I'm not in this area as often anymore, so it's even more disappointing when the experience doesn't feel worth the trip. The congee is still good, texture and flavor, but the whole experience a little sour now. My partner and I agree we'd rather spend our money at our usual spot instead. I get the usual service vibe for a local Chinese spot like this, but this time they unfairly charged me $25 for an appetizer that was literally just bits and ends. The service was rough, it felt like they were forcing pieces on us and couldn't care less. They didn't give us spoons for our congee, and they forgot our fried crueller. When I asked for it, they gave me attitude instead of just owning it. At this point, after enough tries here, I'm good.

I'm talking grandma's-house-in-the-mainland type canto food like bitter melon, pork meat pie, fermented peppers, and braised pig's feet. It's the real deal and it's REAL GOOD. They also serve roast meat (chicken, duck, pork). They don't speak fluent English, so it will help if you know Mandarin/Cantonese OR keep your dialogue to a minimum by following the directions below. I highly recommend getting the combo with rice and 3 sides. To order, go up to the glass window (outside) and gesture that you want your food to-go or to eat-in. I usually get it to-go. The sides are displayed in the pans behind the glass. Choose 3 by pointing. My usual order is a meat pie, preserved peppers, and a vegetable. Then, go inside and pay (about $6.50 per combo). They will ask if you want a free soup...say yes because the soup is filled with MSG and is delicious. I can understand why people would be hesitant to come here due to concern for cleanliness, but all the good restaurants in Chinatown are dirty. I'll take my chances.

There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.
