Seating is only outdoors but on a nice day, it's perfect because eating it straight from the kitchen is definitely better than take out. It's no frills and quick service.
Had the most delicious and affordable meal here!! The outdoor ambiance was perfect for a casual date, the service was quick, and the staff helped me decide what to order. My food was SO GOOD!! I got the chicken and shrimp noodle soup, the broth was SO good and the noodles were, of course, amazing. My boyfriend got the pan-fried wide noodles with vegetables and it was also delicious and a great portion size. Will absolutely be coming back and would recommend to anyone looking for a casual but cute place for a date or dinner with friends.
The noodles here are truly incredible. I usually get the fried variety (instead of the ones in broth). Made there, fresh, authentic, delicious and very cheap. I don't know hoe they do it. This is a must for me in NYC.
Just a solid Chinese soup joint. The noodles are indeed hand pulled and you get to choose which gage of noodle you want in your dish. They do stir fry stuff too but it's too cold out for me to talk about that right now. I came here specifically for the duck soup, we were on a mission, and I was not disappointed. You get a surprising amount of duck, though it's a little gristly but still excellent. The soup itself is more of a generic broth, flavorful and lovely but not duck-based. The noodles were excellent, chewy and abundant. Plus you get bok choy, perfect. A solid meal at a reasonable price on a cold day. I like how barebones this place is, it's true Chinatown in its straightforward, non pretentious ambiance and service. Will definitely be back
This restaurant has been around for a while. And they put out a lot of tables and chairs in this alleyway after covid 19. A friend and I tried it again recently and the flavor is okay. You order a soup base and then you can pick a type of noodles you want from their menu. I find the knife peeled noodle(add an extra $1 for this) has the best texture.
I got the roast duck noodle soup and the pork and vegetable steamed dumplings. Noodle soup was delicious, duck was a little dry and the soup would be just as good without it. Dumplings were also good. Great balance speed and price for taste. Cash only
My go to noodle place. Good noodles. You come for the noodle soul not the ambiance. No alcohol though they do have a drink selection
My friends and I were looking for a place to eat on a Saturday night. I was surprised that they were opened so late since a lot of places close early in Chinatown! Note: they are cash only!! All the tables outside were full. There was 1 open table so my friends and I went in with the AC (thank god). We tried making eye contact a few times with any servers and finally got to place our order. We got: - chicken dumplings: very good and big dumplings - chicken pan fried noodles (wide noodles) - tofu pan fried noodles (wide noodles): my friends annoyed this - beef hand pulled noodle soup: broth was super good! But the beef slices were okay, I prefer a beef cubes like in Taiwanese beef noodle soup We ordered scallion pancakes too but it never came out and we weren't charged for it. I would come back if I needed a bite to eat and was in the area that late.
Delicious! I had the hand pulled fried noodles with duck. Those noodles were delicious. Thick, warm, added chilly oil so slightly oily but so much flavor!!! I want more, I'm a fan!!!
Pretty crowded, not sure if it's because it's a touristy instagram spot or if I'm missing something. We were sat downstairs in the basement, which was a cramped messy space with only a few tables. It looked more like a storage/employee room than space for customers. Saying that because several employees came down there to get supplies out of closets and put their personal belongs into a locker next to the tables. Not only turned off by that but also seeing wired off rat holes. The service was decent. As far as the food, you can tell the noodles are freshly made and the veggies seem fresh as well. The broth was just ok. Definitely not worth the instagram hype in my opinion.
Lovvvvvvve this place! They know my order by heart lol which is pan fried shrimp dumplings. Super friendly & you can sit wherever you want. The food is so good here & walking distance from my job (which makes it even better) but I've also tried their ramen, lowmein, fried rice & something else (can't remember rn) but it's all fresh & delicious.
I ventured to tasty hand pulled noodles to meet up with a friend for dinner tonight. This is a go-to casual spot for my company and we were nearby, so I figured I'd drop in again with her. It was a nice day, so there was plenty of outdoor seating which was really nice. This is a really "no-frills" joint, it's super lowkey, but that's part of the charm. You don't really go here for be aesthetic and while the service is always good, their role seems to moreso be one or efficiency, rather than personable hospitality, which is fine. We ordered some shrimp fried dumplings ($7.50), which were good. I especially liked them with the dumpling sauce which I kind of drenched them in. They were nice and crispy. As an entree, I ordered the pan fried chicken noodles ($13.50) which I really enjoyed. They were nicely fried and oily. I also really appreciate how the servings are big enough here to have leftovers, my favorite. Unfortunately, my friend wasn't thrilled by her beef and peppers which she said was lacking some flavor.
Food: This is a very well-known hand pulled noodle place in Chinatown. Their noodles are made fresh and come in different varieties including thin, thick, wide, knife cut, etc. Their menu is very extensive, and they offer appetizers, noodle soups, stir-fried noodles, entrees, and dumplings. You can get the noodle soups and stir-fried noodles with your choice of protein, and vegetarian options are available. The noodle texture is excellent, and the stir-fried noodles are my favorite. I would recommend the stir-fried noodles with seafood. Service: Staff are friendly and welcoming. The staff are often so busy and running around but are there if you need anything. Ambiance: This place is very old and run down. The dining area is small, but they cram a lot of tables into it. There is also a lot of outdoor seating along Doyers Street. Seating, both indoors and outdoors, is very tight and spaced closely together. Overall, I would highly recommend this place! read more
I remembered I really loved their beef noodle soup the last time I was in NY. This time it was just alright. The noodles themselves are good but I found the soup a little bland. Much better after adding chili, white pepper and vinegar. I've since found better spots out in NY so this place has fallen out of favor. Gave them another shot just to confirm that. Still an enjoyable bowl, just not my top pick. Also, after I ate, I explored a bit and came back to use the restroom. When I came out, a guy told me "This restroom is for customers only". I mean I was a customer earlier but I guess I did leave and return. Still, felt like they were being a bit stingy about that and that just another reason for me to not want to continue being a customer in the future. After all there's tastier and cheaper options nearby. However, I still do love the ambiance of this place when dining outside on Doyers street. The history of this alleyway is fascinating! read more
Stopped in while at a Math PD for work. My friend was raving about their noodles so we made the walk there and man was it worth it! They were super sweet and quick in the location. The noodles were SUPER TASTY! I would definitely go back and try their other kinds if noodles. The spicy sauce they gave on the side was great! The location is a small, few tables establishment but cozy at the same time. read more

Mistakenly ordered shrimp in my meal; thankfully saved me from eating this. Should've read the reviews from four weeks ago, clearly an infestation that's being ignored. read more

I used to eat here all the time a few years ago, and it looks like the prices have doubled since then while the quality has dropped a little. I decided to come for dinner around 6pm on a weekday and had no trouble finding a seat--the outdoor seating area is nice when the weather accommodates, and adds to the rustic/no-frills atmosphere. The noodle soup, though, just wasn't that tasty for $15-17, especially given the bounty of other food options in Chinatown. I got the "one house special noodle soup," which came with beef, tripe, and a fried egg on top. Everything tasted fine, but the broth was pretty one-note, verging on bland, and I did have to add some chili oil to improve the flavor. The portion is huge, which is a plus, and service is fast, so this could be a good option if you're looking to sit down somewhere and want something soupy and quick. read more
Don't be turned off by the exterior appearance. The place looks clean. The noodles are made in premise and delicious in that they're not mushy. The beef was tender. The dumplings are large. The service was non nonsense. We loved it! read more
this place was such a great vibe! came on a warmer fall sat night with some friends, and the street was packed with people dining on plastic stools and tables. it's low frills and super fun. the service was very quick and the dumplings (steamed and fried) were a big hit with our group. I also enjoyed their house special beef noodle soup, as well as the pan fried beef noodles (unfortunately didn't get the greatest pictures in the dark!). prices also can't be beat! would come back again. read more
Exactly what I wanted from this place is what I got. No frills, tons of options, easily accessible noodle joint. We grabbed some steamed dumplings that were full of meat. Were they the best? No but they did the job and were very plump. Grabbed knife cut beef noodle soup that was delicious. The meat was surprisingly flavorful and there was a solid amount of it. The noodles were chewy in the best way. And the service was exceedingly quick (could not have taken more than 5 minutes for either dish to appear). The door says cash only but they do take credit card. read more

Being in Chinatown, you have to try some hand pulled noodles. It was a cold day outside, so it was a perfect time for broth! The interior was something that takes me back to when times were easier, and the smells delighted me, as it reminded me of some delicious home cooking. Service was quick, prices are reasonable, and the portions were large! Def can share a bowl between two people :) highly recommend the roasted duck read more

A go to place for beef noodle soup. This place has authentic dishes at a great price point too. We went during the summer and we were able to sit outside while eating and it felt like eating at the night markets in Asia which I loved. Service is good. Just remember to bring cash to pay! read more
They accept cash only. There are seats both inside and outside but the space inside is small. Service was super quick. The roasted pork and shrimp fried rice was okay. House special hand pulled noodle soup has chicken, beef, shrimp, and egg. Food was fine but nothing special. read more

ROAST DUCK NOODLE SOUP AND THE NOODLES ARE SO TASTY AND HAND-PULLED. we were outside , the place is always so busy but the food was decently quick to be served :) noodles were delicious, wasn't the biggest fan of the duck but that's on me for ordering it without knowing what it tastes like. went with family and would love to go back :) read more
Was looking for a warm bowl of soup and specifically rice noodles or hand pulled, so I was thrilled to chance upon this restaurant in chinatown. They speak both canto and mandarin here and also English, but it's always good for my little ABC self to practice ordering in Mandarin! My husband got their basic special which he said was delicious and I got the duck soup with rice noodles and i could NOT have been more happy than in those moments slurping up deliciously flavored broth and chewing on bouncy fresh rice noodles. The service was great - we were given hot tea and water, and then I asked for a sprite to wash it all down. Paying was easy peasy, and two weeks later am still thinking about that perfect bowl of soup :D read more
On a chilly evening, nothing sounds better than a hot noodle soup. I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon for dinner based on a friend's high recommendation. Despite being one of three parties in the store, service was slow. We waited for quite a while before our order was taken. And when we received our food, I was disappointed in both the presentation and the taste. The price may be right, at $17 per bowl, but the beef noodle soup broth was not it. The noodles themselves were fine, but without flavor, it's hard to say it was an enjoyable meal. read more
I ordered late night from DoorDash and it was ready quickly and arrived well packaged and hot. The general tso was fine, not spicy at all, but they did add hot chili oil on the side (assuming it's because I asked for this dish extra spicy). The knife cut pork noodles were really tasty, with a nice chewy consistency and a decent amount of pork for the price. It also tasted great reheated the next day. I can't say anything about the ambience because I did not visit the store itself. read more
Food was 3 stars. Ambiance and service was 4 stars. I came here with a group on a Friday lunch time. They seated us very quickly. We ordered: #2 combo (beef, shrimp, egg) dish with small wide noodles, duck noodle soup with big wide noodles, pan noodles with beef, and the pork soup dumplings by as an appetizer. The pork soup dumplings appetizer was the best of all we ate - 5 stars. Noodles were very good - the bite and texture were great - 5 stars whether you do pan fried or with broth. However - broth for the two dishes we got were bland and we had to add lots of flavor. The pan fried noodles were better than the broth noodles. I would give it a 4 star bc of the ambiance and the fast service and the dumplings; however my group voted and 3 stars was the agreement! lol and those who voted 3 stars said bc they would only come here for the dumplings. Please note the dumplings were the best part of our meal but they are frozen and then cooked so if that bothers you, you may not want them. For me, the frozen nature didn't bother me - it took them 20 minutes to cook and I loved them. read more

These noodles were amazing I'm in awe. Simple but delicious pan fried noodles. I got the knife sliced noodles and the texture was great, perfectly chewy and the flavors of the dish were super authentic. The steamed pork dumplings and pan fried dumplings were also delicious and juicy. The inside of the restaurant was small and crowded, attempting to fit as many people as possible. But the outdoor seating was plentiful, it reminded me of Asian street markets, set up with simple tables and plastic seats, super homey vibe. The cook in the back was going crazy making those noodles. Homie was shouting while he pulled, tossed, and slapped the noodles, it honestly added to the experience. What would an authentic meal like this be without the crazy yelling coming from the kitchen. Maybe the shouting makes the food taste better, if it does then it worked. Would definitely come here again! Though I'm not from New York, when I'm back in this city I'd definitely make a stop here. read more
Stopped by this place to get a quick meal and wasn't disappointed. There were a ton of people outside eating and I figured it must've been good for so many people to be eating there. It looks like you're run-of-the-mill hole in the wall shop and those are usually the best. Depending on the line outside, and where whether you're going to eat there or to go, they may have you sit down before they take your order. I was able to order at the front and then find seating outside. Seating is first come first serve, the tables are set up for communal eating. That's not really my thing, but it was great that there was so many seating close together because it could hold at least a party of five or six at one of the tables set together. I ordered the fried shrimp noodles and vegetable eggrolls. Vegetable eggrolls are always a tossup, sometimes they come out really good and sometimes they aren't the best. But these are definitely top-notch now almost all the noodles were delicious and had great flavor. I thought they would come with more vegetables , but they don't so if you're looking for something with vegetables, it's just a very small sprinkling of some cabbage here and there. After the fact, I wish I would've gotten the chicken and shrimp pan fried noodles and another sesame chicken dish that was looked amazing as well. Comfortable, but it would be at a place like this. Still not bad and definitely would come back for a quick late night eat. read more
Possibly the best noodles I have ever had. So good!!!!! They tasted so fresh and you can really tell that they were high quality. We were able to get a table right away and our waitress was able to help me know what options were vegan and was so nice. My friend got to pork dumplings and loved them! The restaurant was a little crowed and the tables were a little tight. But I definitely recommend this place!! read more
Outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. This restaurant sits on a street with other restaurants and they blocked it off with tables and chairs. It gives me Asian street food feels! It was pretty cute. The service was very quick - we were able to order and our food came out quickly. I got the house special #1 with the regular hand pulled noodle. They have 5 or 6 different style hand pulled noodles. I would be willing to try the other style noodles and their other noodle soups. The house special soup was very delicious. The soup is very light and comes with couple slices of beef, tripe, fried eggs, and Chinese broccoli. They have chili oil on the table for your convenience. Highly recommend this place. I just love the street food vibes! read more
One of the timeless joys of jury duty is the opportunity afforded for a weekday Chinatown lunch. I usually come to Chinatown with a destination in mind and so rarely get the chance to just stumble upon a new establishment. On this random Monday I ended up at Tasty Hand Pulled Noodles - I was craving something with that "biang biang" texture, and I was not about to squander my rare Chinatown lunch opportunity on going to Xi'an Famous Foods. The wide hand pulled noodles with fried tofu were not bad, but a bit unremarkable. I felt the sauce needed some acidity, as I mostly just tasted vegetables and sweet soy sauce. The texture of the noodles themselves only scored one "biang" in my opinion. read more
This place is a legit authentic noodle place The way they make the noodle literally from the scratch!! This is for some reason impressed me. Let's start with the pan fry noodle w/ pork, the noodle's texture is "al-dente", at first my husband thought he couldn't finish due to big portion appearance, turned out, the plate was clean! And my duck noodle soup is great in different version. It really was perfect in cloudy day. Lastly I will give highlight that they have their authentic chili and for me, this is another extra point. Be prepared to bring cash with you coz that's the only payment they accept. read more
I tried to call in my order on a Saturday (around 4:40 pm) but no one picked up, so I walked to the restaurant to order. I could see why they didn't pick up becuase the place was packed inside and outside. I ordered the beef noodle soup and house special noodle soup. The total came out to $30 ( they accept cash or Zelle). They told me the wait would be 10 minutes but it turned out to be a 25 minutes wait. I understand it was busy but they should have given me a better estimate. The food was okay. It was soggy and didn't taste too fresh. It might be because they were rushing my order. I will probably not try again base on my experience getting the order. There are other places in Chinatown to try. read more

"Thin" - soup, noodles, the slices of meat and vegetables. I had the hand pulled flat beef noodle soup. The soup wasn't as developed as most beef noodle soups I've had. Having said that, it did hit the spot. After eating out 3 meals a day for the past week of our visit, I needed something that felt clean. They are known for their hand pulled noodles. Small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Very busy but the staff are on top of things. read more

Ask the Community - Tasty Hand - Pulled Noodles
Are there still outdoor seats here? Mott St used to have outdoor dining but they were all removed so wondering if still available here.
Yes, seating outside is available. We dined here because we had our dog with us to be able to seat ourside.
Do they take credit cards?
Is there outdoor seating?
Yes, good outdoor seating (a few individual rooms with their own tables and air conditioning, as well as a few tables out in the open street)
If I have a party of five or six, do I have to make a reservation?
It's rather small place and casual. They most likely don't take reservations but it'd be courtesy to let them know ahead your coming as a group of six. They probably only have about 20 seats total in there
Do they have tomato and fried egg hand pulled noodles?
me thinks not - they all look the same coming out of the kitchen
Just wondering, do you tip here? I have done so about 50% of the time but I'm not sure if it's expected.
It's really so variable. My friends and I have always tipped a bit in the tip jar in the front.
