I placed an order to go, it was very quick. I ordered the traditional stir fry. You get large portion size with lots of noodles. The noodles were good, but a bit too salty for my liking. There's seating if guy want to eat in, the noodles are definitely better fresh! read more

Handpulled noodles is a casual northern noodle spot that delivers in flavor. You can order online or at a kiosk to the right of the cashier. The flexibility to choose your noodles and customize your spice was great - the ribbon had much more chew than the chopped ribbon - exactly what you want from a handpulled noodle. We also got a shallot sauce on the side which was tasty Solid noodle joint! read more

The Handpulled Noodle - Dapang niu (medium spicy beef) - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Overall: 4.2/5 I ordered on Postmates for lunch on a Monday and it delivered earlier than expected, less than 30 minutes total, so I was pretty surprised. The Dapan Niu ($18.70) with low spice and ribbon noodles is the original and recommended pairing and I can see why. The ribbon noodles are bouncy, delicious, and coat the beef stew really nicely. Most of the braised beef was tender though a few pieces needed just a little more cooking time. The low spice level wasn't spicy at all so if you like a kick I would go with medium next time. The only thing I would change is the giant bell pepper slices since I wish they would cut them into smaller pieces or strips. Overall this was really good and I was satisfied after eating just half the bowl. The Lychee Pekoe Black Tea ($3.30) is the perfect drink to wash down a heavy or umami forward meal. It's perfectly sweetened, refreshing, and affordable too. The Fragrant Shallot Sauce ($0.55) can be added as a topping on your dumplings or noodles but honestly it's not really needed. The Steamed Pork and Chive Dumplings ($11) come with 6 plump dumplings that were good but nothing amazing. They also smell pretty strong when reheated so I would eat them fresh and skip saving them as leftovers. read more

Great noodles in a bare bones room You order at a counter and there are approximately 20 seats around a counter along the edge of the room. The portions a generous. The noodles in the Dapan Zhu are covered in a tasty sauce with bites of pork. There are no rest rooms for customers. read more

Great noodles, mediocre service. Best for takeout. The traditional hand pulled noodle comes with a tomato based sauce which is super flavorful and rich. The noodles are extremely bouncy and delicious. The dumplings were good as well, but make sure that you get some black vinegar from the front to eat them with. The cumin hand pulled noodle was also really good option for a more floral flavor with the same perfectly bouncy noodles. The servers seem to not know what's on the menu or what any sauces are for or they just don't care. Overall, I'd con back for the noodles but take them to go. read more

TL;DR - Casual Chinese noodle spot in Time Square area with Time Square pricing. Came here with some friends ahead of a movie nearby. Ordered the spicy cumin stir fry with the chopped ribbon noodles spicy heat (level 3) plus some Hot & Tangy Buddhas Veggies dumplings at medium heat (level 2). Food came out at a decent clip, but the noodles I received were legitimately not spicy at all. Cumin flavors were solid although I didn't find the noodles to have a particularly good bounciness. Asked the cashier about the noodle spice and they did over to remake it, but I was short on time so they ended up providing a dry spice I could add which was nice. Definitely added quite the kick! I ordered beef and barely found any beef in it which was disappointing. The dumplings themselves were fine. Pretty standard and nothing really to write home about. Overall, I wasn't super impressed by this spot and it was quite pricey. About $30 with tax for the noodles and 6pc of dumplings. I understand the area probably necessitates that kind of pricing, but unfortunately it fell a little flat for me. If you're craving noodles this could be a solid option, but I don't see myself coming back here again. There's some a decent amount seating which was a pro. Also it was an order at the kiosk and bus your own table. So again, very casual and laidback spot. read more

We recently came here on a Saturday after catching a Broadway show in the area and were slightly disappointed in the noodles that we got. This was our first time trying the midtown location having been a fan of the Harlem location. We ordered the lamb hand pulled noodles and while it was okay it was not up to the standard that we were used to for a hand pulled noodle spot, especially compared to the Harlem location or their competition, Xi'ans. I can't quiet put my finger on it but it did not taste as fresh. Our orders were processed fairly quickly and the space itself is no frills. Judging by the rave reviews and the occasional negative review, my mediocre noodles could have just been that batch or related to a chef. But if I'm back in the area, I would probably give it another shot since I've had mostly positive experiences with their uptown location. read more

I enjoyed the ambiance more than anything actually. They had outlets for me to charge my phone while I watched videos. Watching videos and eating feels like THE experience. The soup was alright. I got level 3 spicy because level 4 and 5 had a warning on it that it wouldn't be returned if it was too spicy. It wasn't spicy at all. I'd have gotten the 4. I got the flat pulled noodles and next time I'll get the lo mein style. There's some seating, maybe enough for 10 people. read more

This is a review for delivery order. I do not like these noodles at all. I was expecting something chewy and bouncy but instead the noodles are like literal bricks of dough. Made the entire eating experience extremely hard to eat since the thick noodles tangle and it's hard to pick up with utensils. Flavor can improve overall as well. Medium spicy was lacking flavor. My bf bought the big plate chicken noodle and it was too sweet. I've never had such sweet sauce for big plate chicken before. It was like sweet soy sauce. The gua bao is okay. Tiny, pretty dry. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea but I've never had noodles /this/ difficult to eat. And for this type of noodle to cost extra fees is kind of crazy. I would skip this place. read more

Amazing comfort takeout that hits the spot on a cold winter day. Portions are good. I got the cumin uncut ribbon noodles with chicken. I think the thick ribbon noodles are the best to really experience the hand pulled part. The fresh papaya topping adds to the dish. The cumin flavoring was subtle yet the dish was really flavorful. Looking forward to trying the yellow curry option next time. read more

Such a cute spot in the middle of the city for noodles! It's a really spacious fast casual restaurant with seating and light jazz playing in the background, which is such a welcome change from the noise of the city. It's easy to order from the kiosk, and chose your spiciness level and noodle type! The dishes range from $10-20 which is also so affordable for the area. I got the dapan niu which is a heaping bowl of hand pulled ribbon cut noodles with beef. I got mild and it was really delicious - I personally don't think it needs the spice. It's a very decent portion, and I got full off 2/3. I also love that they have seitan as a meat option, and have vegetarian options! My friend that is a vegetarian was able to get a yummy cumin stir fry with seitan. Would def come back! read more

Ordered traditional hand pulled noodles with pork. Perfect balance of flavors at medium spice. Spice levels are accurate for my palate. If you enjoy a spicy vindaloo, go higher on the spice. Some may find dishes a little salty, but the thick chewy noodles need a little extra salt. Don't usually order flavored tea for fear it will be too sweet. Mango black tea was perfect complement to the food and not too sweet. Well done, Hand Pulled Noodles! read more

I enjoyed the noodle stir fry takeout order from this new restaurant in HK. I had the traditional chicken, #1 pressed noodles, medium spicy with extra meat. It was delicious. It had a tomato based sauce with just enough kick. The noodles were chewy and held up well for the trip home. I would have liked more chicken, especially for "extra meat", but the amount of noodles was generous, and overall, the meal was filling. Packing was decent. I will definitely order again, but probably not pay for extra meat. Highly recommended. read more

The Handpulled Noodle - Traditional Stir Fry #1 Pressed Noodles - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I got takeout from here so can't speak much to the ambiance or service. It was fast delivery though. I ordered the cumin stir fry w beef and ribbon noodles. The noodles were super thick and chewy and I enjoyed the texture on them. The beef was also tender and flavorful and there was actually a lot of meat. The scallions and other toppings really helped the flavor profile of the dish as well. It was slightly spicy but a good amount at the medium spice level. The only thing I would say is honestly that maybe it could've actually been a bit MORE flavorful. read more

It's a take out place with some narrow bars and stools. Perfectly comfy just FYI. It was hard to order. Not that the menu doesn't make sense, I had some questions and I couldn't get an answer that I could understand. Food was served on take out containers. The hand pulled noodles had great texture and pull. But the spicy chicken, veg, and the sauce with them was just spicy with no flavor. I was disappointed since the noodles were prepared so well. Also got the Thai chili chicken wings. Flavor was good and texture was OK, but not anything special. Overall I was disappointed given other good reviews. One whiny request I had was for a cup of ice with my Diet Coke (can). They said "no". read more

We absolutely loved the food here. Definitely one of the highlights of the weekend. The hand pulled noodles are amazing we also got some dumplings on the side. While it's a small space they've really made it cute with the newspapers and brick look. There's not a ton of seating so it's best to come when you're just doing a quick stop in, not something for a fancy sit down or anything. It's order at the counter and sit and bus yourself so no complaints on service. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

The Handpulled Noodle - Scallion + Ginger Stir Fry with lamb - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

a new spot for chinese noodles in HK. i was eager to try it out. This place is on a basement level focus on takeout and delivery, there are some seats around the wall if you prefer to dine in. You can make your order on the kiosk, but the kiosk information is unclear, their paper menu has a better description of the dishes. The noodles are pretty pricy, for that small amount of noodle for around $14 if you dont have any add-ons. the noodle itself if you choose hand pull is $1, i thought the whole reason is to eat handpull, but it's a extra for it. speaking of handpull, it's not the same as 拉面，it's 扯面 a different type of handpull , thicker and not the thin and skillful handpull as lanzhou handpull noodle. the noodle is chewy and thick has a lot of texture. if you like lanzhou style of noodle, this is not the place for you. The noodles standard noodle comes in noodle that are packacked pre made noodle. not recomended. it also loaded with scallion and cilantro, I'm talking about A LOT. you can opt out any of those in the kiosk. you can choose your spicy level, if you like spicy you can choose the spicy leve high it's not too much. if you want to switch to lamb or other meat then it's another extra. it all adds up for this small bowl of noodle. the chicken wings are great. freshly fried whole wing it's decent price at $8.5 for four whole wings. the cumin dry rub was ok, not much cumin flavor and not spicy. I'm happy just have any wings. but want to try lomon curry next time. Overall is satisfying and just what i needed for a cold winter night that i dont need to go far to get a hot bowl of noodle, but will I come back for more? probably not for this price, definitely not worth a travel to come here for it if you have other choices nearby. read more

A friend and I decided to check this restaurant out for dinner on a chilly winter night after I told my friend I wanted something "hot and soupy." The first thing that you notice when you walk downstairs into the restaurant is the cheerful jazz, which is admittedly an interesting choice for a Chinese-style restaurant, but totally works somehow. Ordering is done with a touch screen on the wall, and we got an herbal beef noodle soup, lamb cumin noodles, and spicy and tangy dumplings. Even if you are a spice noob, it's okay because you can choose your spicy level (medium is not spicy at all). The lamb cumin was pretty good, but my friend would have preferred thinner slices of lamb. My herbal beef noodle soup definitely hit the "hot and soupy" spot and warmed me up after a long day. The dumpling were also juicy and delicious. One detraction is the fact you have to pay extra for their namesake handpulled noodle, while the lo mein and udon style noodles are included as part of the charge. Still, it's a good place with quality cheap food, and tons better than Xi'an, as my friend says. read more

Really really good handpulled noodles. I ordered the traditional stir fry medium spicy with lagman noodles and extra chicken. Everything was delicious. The medium spicy was relatively tame, but it allowed the flavors to really shine through. Next time, I'll try high spicy. I also opted for a white peach tea beverage, which complemented the flavors of the food very nicely. Delivery was quick and prompt. Check it out! read more

A welcome addition to the Times Square dining scene. I ordered for lunch pickup and the noodles (I got the classic order) were super fresh and chewy. You can choose your noodle (I chose the standard but you can get Udon and other types) as well as spicy level (Medium was very doable so feel free to go up a notch if you like spicy). I appreciated the classic red dragon paper box Chinese take out container, it really addes something. Though I didn't get a chance to dine in, the space looked small but tasteful (and brand spanking new) and the staff appeared to be friendly and efficient. Would definitely order again and would consider dining in, too. read more

Ordered the ribbon noodles traditional style and added jackfruit, medium spicy. I ordered for dine-in so I was pretty surprised when it came out in a takeout box. The noodles are thick, chewy, and add some good texture to the dish, but because of how thick it is I think this meal is better split into two. The noodles aren't too saucey and most of the flavor actually clings onto the veggies, but since this comes in a takeout container it's very difficult to mix and so I think it's a disservice that this doesn't come in a bowl instead. This was my first time trying jackfruit as a meat replacement and it was a pleasant contrast to the chewiness of the noodles. It's very soft and similar in texture and taste to artichokes. Medium spicy had a slight heat but wasn't too crazy and was the right level for me. Overall not bad but I was pretty underwhelmed. read more
