They are doughier, meatier, and less soupy. An option for a quick and affordable bite. The space is clean and spacious, with fast turnover, so there's rarely a wait. It's a self-serve setup. You order at the counter, grab a table, wait for your number to be called, and bus your own table when you're done. No tipping expected. I had the Fuzhou wontons and Fuzhou pork meat, decent if you're looking for something light. My friend really liked the fermented mustard dry rice noodles, though I found the sauce a bit too clumpy, even after asking for more. I enjoy fermented mustard and peanut butter noodles separately, just not together. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but I'd be open to trying their soups or regular peanut butter noodles next time. If you're in the area and craving something cheap, fast, and a little different, could be a stop.

When food is ready they will either deliver it to your table or call you to pick up - I am guessing depending how busy there are, they delivered to our table. All the condiments and plastic utensils are on the tables, for take out they have station for you to take what you needs. Food - great place for a cheap eat. Flavor and price are very good. Preferred Pan fried Pork Bun over the Steam Pork Bun. Love the Duck soup - definitely had wine in it, it just tastes soo much better with wine in duck soup! The FJ meat dumpling is a different type of wonton, the wrapper is more of a bouncy texture, the meat is very flavourful, overall everything was very good. definitely will go back for more!

The noodles has a great balance of savory and tangy flavors. They serve a good portion of chewy, smooth rice noodles, with a clear delicate broth on the side. I like to eat this dish dry, so just a splash of the broth is enough for me to mix the noodles and toppings together. Their toppings are the best part, pickled beans, crispy soy beans, crispy pork & more! I also love their fried pork intestines. The restaurant also serves is a shared space with In Cha bubble tea I tried this Honeydew yogurt drink and it was awful. Had to throw out two of those.

I would recommend the fishballs and fish soup. The noodles were a bit overcooked and nothing special. The dumplings were average and had a strong gingery taste. I would return to this place to try some other items. Service: Service was excellent. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. She was attentive and gave us recommendations on what to order since it was our first time there. Ambiance: This is a hole-in-the-wall place so the ambiance isn't the best. The staff are sitting in the dining area making dumplings and preparing the food. The place isn't the nicest but gives it a homey feel. There are a few small tables in the place, but 1-2 tables are taken up by the staff. I wouldn't come here with a large group. Overall, I would recommend this place!

It's interesting to me that their menu is from Lan Zhou (hand-pulled noodles) as well as Fu Zhou (dumplings and peanut noodles). The peanut noodles were interesting, and they didn't use the normal wide wheat noodles. The peanut sauce was thick and a bit too salty too. The fish ball noodles were pretty tasty, as the fish balls were bouncy and chewy and the soup had a lot of flavor. The noodles themselves weren't very special though. I also liked that they put spinach in the soup. At $8 post-tax, this was definitely a filling meal, but I've had better noodles around the area.

Good peanut butter noodles, better than average…read more It's got your typical Skippy creamy peanut butter with a little past al dente noodles. Didn't take a picture because I slammed it in 2 minutes, that's how good or hungry I was. Steam shrimp/ chive dumplings- prob wouldn't order again. Thought the chives tasted a little funkier than your usual Chinese chives (jiu cai), maybe my taste buds were just playing tricks on me. Ribs and mushroom soup- it's ok. 4 stars because of value (bring cash). Honest assessment overall is more like 3 stars. Go for the PB noodles, consider the rest if you're a little adventurous but I don't think you're missing out.

The noodles are very affordable and come with a soup, which makes it very good for the price. The shop has been family owned ever since I was a kid and I see the recipe has never changed. These are definitely some of the best peanut noodles I've ever had, I would say this is a hidden gem in Brooklyn.

We ordered the peanut butter noodle ($3), cabbage pork dumplings (10 for $5.50) and the wonton soup Fuzhou style ($3). It was definitely filling for such a low cost. The peanut butter noodle was very standard but wished there was more sauce. We ordered the cabbage pork dumplings but they gave us the leek pork by accident. It was still good though and that's coming from someone who isn't a fan of leek. Skin was very smooth and it wasn't too thick. I didn't try the wonton soup but my friend said it was ok. You order by the register and can sit anywhere you want and the worker brings you the food. There's plenty of seating but it gets crowded during peak hours. There is a sauce station by the register with extra bowls and utensils. Place is pretty clean and the worker was very nice. Tip is not mandatory as well. Will definitely be back to try the hand pulled noodle soup!

I ordered the house special with hand pulled noodles, beef brisket with peel noodles, and fish all soup. Service was pretty fast, everything came out within 10 mins. They have a station where you can add cilantro and pickled mustard greens in it! (My absolute favorite). They also have a house made chili oil and it definitely enhanced the flavor of the noodle soups. The house special noodle soup is packed with beef, tripe, tendon, 1 egg, and spinach. The soup is not overly salty and it was very filling. The beef brisket with peel noodles had a great bounce QQ to the noodles. My most favorite thing were the fish balls!!! They are filled with a meat filling that's on the sweeter side. I added white pepper into my soup with cilantro too. Total bill was under $30!!!!

My beef stew noodle soup ($6.50) came with a piping hot broth, dark in color and very salty. The noodles were chewy and nicely separated, but a bit too thin. Plenty of pickled mustard greens, which I love. Unfortunately the meat was not of great quality: even though the lean pieces were tasty, most pieces had a lot of rubbery tendons attached to them. I actually tried to eat them anyway, but there's only that much chewing on rubber you can do before saying "Ok; it's rubber". The less-than-memorable noodle soup combined with a "C" health rating will probably prevent me from coming here again.

The place was bright, large, and almost trendy compared to the divey noodle joints around the corner. Even after 6 months of their grand opening, like every other proud Chinese business still kept up their ribbons and congratulatory bamboo plants out like they had just opened the day before. I went in there craving rice and ended up eating a mediocre yangzhou fried rice (when they still served rice anyway). Fast forward nearly half a year later, I come (#1) in here close to midnight with a few friends after hitting up a nearby karaoke joint and we're all starving. I went for a $5 beef noodle soup (niu rou ban mian) with a side of pan fried dumplings (guo tie) for another $3, and I had myself a fabulous late night meal without spending more than $10 (tip included). This place had turned a new leaf and I was a new fan. The lesson? Always get a noodle dish and focus on what they do best. My initial time here was like ordering a cheeseburger at a Japanese restaurant (#2) - completely unnecessary. The noodles are indeed good here, especially the handpulled variety. Texture wise, they're on par with some of the better joints in the neighborhood. I sometimes will order fish ball wonton soup (yu dan hun tun mian) and eat it with a side of fried dumpling (#3). Another winner here is their zha jiang mian, a meat sauce consisting of minced pork and soy, slathered up in the noodles for a hearty dish that doesn't run one for more than $6. Service is pretty good for a Chinatown spot, they're fast and efficient, without the snappiness or the attitude. There is no need to share tables here - they've got plenty of space and are very accommodating to large groups. I wish I could say the same most of the dives. Lastly, while the English name is H858 (I'm not sure why. Even the Canto number scheme is going against them), the actual name is "fu sheng la mian guan" or Fook Sing Handpulled Noodle Place. Wait, what the Fook? Ok, we'll roll with H858. ______________ (#1) Ok, stumbled. (#2) Unless that burgermeat is kobe. (#3) Unlike the pan fried / guo tie variety, this one is almost like Korean mandoo gui, or deep fried dumpling.

I liked all the toppings that it came with! This time I ordered the wonton and dumpling noodle soup. It came with 3 wonton, 2 dumplings, and some bok choy. Not sure if it was because I did takeout and my noodle soup was overcooking in its container, but the dumpling skin was mushy and falling apart from the meaty party of the dumpling, and the bok choy was also a dull green color. Either it was overcooked or old bok choy. They tasted fine, except maybe one was a bit bitter. I was also expecting egg noodle, but it came default udon noodles (you can ask them to change noodles, I just didn't ask). The broth wasn't flavorful either. Although this dish was a miss, I would come back for their other dishes!! Cash only establishment, or you can zelle them.
