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

Tasty Hand - Pulled Noodles - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

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

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tasty Hand - Pulled Noodles - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

Tasty Hand - Pulled Noodles - F. Pan Fried Shrimp Noodles - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

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. 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

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

The times I've come (Monday and passed by on a Thursday) it is always so busy! It makes it seem tastier and enticing. We were seated quickly for our party of two on Monday and ordered the beef stir fried noodles (+hand cut), garlic bok choy, and the 6-piece pork and veggie dumplings. I thought it was satisfying but did need to add some soy sauce, chili oil, and a little vinegar to up the flavor (so maybe not satisfying). Service was fast and it was cash only (I thought it'd be a little cheaper for what it was) Garlic bok choy was tasty and had great seasoning but noodles and dumplings needed a little help read more

Needed a quick lunch in Chinatown in order to explore the rest of the city, and one that would provide some level of relief against my hemorrhaging wallet on this NYC trip. This is a hole in the wall spot, cash only, with outdoor seating. I like how it is tucked away in an alley, away from the hustle and bustle of Chinatown's packed streets. Despite it being peak lunch time on a Sunday, there was no wait and still good seating outside outside. We ordered the chicken pan fried noodles as well as the cucumber salad. Chicken pan fried noodles: 4.5/5; Eating it from small paper plates and not a bowl was a bit difficult since we weren't provided scissors to make the noodles a little shorter and easier to split. Otherwise, the texture was phenomenal -- chewy and springy, and I loved how the noodles were thoroughly coated with a delectable, umami soy based sauce. Often I feel that pan fried noodles can be undersalted despite their delectable color from dark soy, but did not feel that to be the case here at all. Fantastically seasoned, with appreciable wok hei. Chicken was velvety and soft as well, and appreciated the cabbage and bean sprout. Cucumber salad: 4/5 - A little sweet for my taste, but perfectly refreshing with some spicy, tart, and umami. I was hoping to maybe eat some green beans, but couldn't find them on the menu. That said, this was a great addition to balance the pan fried noodles. Overall, I really enjoyed coming here and appreciated their very reasonable prices and hefty portions! I was left with a good half portion of leftovers, which still tasted good without needing reheat. Would definitely come back again to try their other hand pulled noodle dishes. 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!

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

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.

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

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.

This place was a godsend when we were hungry late Saturday night. We'd all been talking about having a taste for dumplings/noodles, and this happened to be a short walk from where we met to grab drinks. When we got in, we were quickly seated and had our orders taken. The interior is a little tight, but we were able to squeeze in a group of 5 and feel cozy. I split the wide hand pulled noodles with chicken and the pan friend chicken dumplings, and I loved both equally. Service was fast, food was delicious, we had all the condiments we needed (I recommend the chili oil being mixed in to the noodles) and it was perfect! They also served everyone a container of warm tea to help us knock off the chill. Head's up: they were cash only when we were there 10/10 and l will definitely be back read more

Outdoor and indoor seating. Very efficiently ran small space. The servers are nice and quick. There's alot going on. It seems they may do Uber eats or DD as well. There are 7 diffraction types of handmade noodles to choose from. The menu has enough to pick from. It varies from soups to fried noodles. The fried noodles are not like the hard fried ones they sometimes serve at other Asian places. Their version is more of a lo mein style. It all looked good but I opted for shrimp shumai soup with regular hand pulled noodles. The broth was very natural and full of bok choy. You can jazz it up by adding any of the table ingredients to it. We had sriracha, malt vinegar, sesame oil, chilli oil, red pepper, soy sauce and cilantro available. I was missing the hoison for that sweet/spicy balance I usually get. The service was fast despite the chaotic background. I sat inside because outside seating was very crowded and a bit overwhelming for me at the time. The noodles were in fact fresh and handpulled. They have an option to also by their dumpling by the tens for about $8. The dumplings and shumai were very tasty, old-school no frills type of thing. Delicious none the less. The broth could've used a bit of sodium for my taste. After adding in a lot of additional things it became up to par for me. I would try their fried noodle next. Portions were great for the price point. read more
