    Scallion Pancake
    Alan L.

    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.

    Wonderful noodles! Had Ginger scallion... delish! Customer service was excellent, great recommendation.

    Cumin Stir Fry
    Claire M.

    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.

    Small quaint spot. Able to order with an attendant or on a self pay station. No bathroom. It's a small spot with all wall bench seating. I got the scallion stir fry. Door was fresh and hot and good portion. Not overly priced. I would come again.

    Cumin Stir Fry with Ribbon Cut Noodles
    Tony G.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Portion to Price: 4/5 Overall: Came here twice in one trip! That tells ya something! The extended review... Food: Cumin Ribbon Noodles - 5/5 - These noodles were delicious! I love cumin lamb and noodles so the two combined were jaw dropping! You gotta give this place a try especially if you love noodles! Service: 5/5 - Friendly service. Ambiance: 4/5 - Cute indoor. It's a bit hot inside but I could muster it. Portion to Price: 4/5 - Not a bad portion size.

    I got the traditional hand pulled noodles with chicken for takeout. The interior is spacious and clean. They do have seating. However, they do not have a bathroom. The noodles were good and the sauce was good. The takeout was ready earlier than expected so that was nice.

    Scallion + Ginger Stir Fry with lamb

    No-frills setting with delicious fresh noodles. The scallion ginger noodles with lamb were a perfect addition to a night of drinking. Service was efficient and the order was ready before the estimate.

    From lady at front explaining the tea options and flavors to the different noodle options like chopped ding ding to ribbon to lagman to fresh pressed noodles to extra thick noodles...please dont pass this restaurant up covered with snow with warm ambience to friendly staff to savory dishes that soothe the soul during the winter blizzard ...all worth it Beef and cilantro mamas dumplings Pork and ginger wonton soup w herbal broth Herbal beef soup Sweet chili wings Chrysanthemum tea Mango tea * Not ordered but should have lychee tea * most popular Enjoy

    Wife wanted Chinese food and this place was recommended by the hotel staff. Place was busy, packed with people and very reasonably priced.

    Cumin ribbon noodles takeout
    Divya K.

    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.

    Had walked by a few times but a on post gym Trader Joe's run the pictures were enticing enough…read more Got a Lanzhou beef noodle combo with a drink and a lamb burger. The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

    OMG-I just enjoyed one of the most delicious and flavorful Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls EVER!!! Run, don't…read morewalk to try this! It was so delicious. See my photos. The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!!

I came…read morehere for dinner without a reservation on a Friday night, and I had a great meal and experience. It's not too big inside, but the tables are decently spaced out. There is also bar seating. It's a bit tricky figuring out what to do with your coats since the chairs aren't really meant to hang winter coats on, but there is a clothing rack in the back that someone can help you with. Everything is ordered via your phone using Toast Tab which was convenient since you didn't have to wait for your server. There was also happy hour when we arrived (6:15pm) so we ordered two hand rolls ($5 each). We ordered the chirashi bowl and the shoyu ramen. I thought the portion sizes were good and I loved the texture of the noodles in the ramen as well as my selection of fish. For dessert, we ordered the hojicha pudding which was delicious as well.

    My friends and I were on our way to Little Alley, a Shanghainese restaurant that's been a Murray…read moreHill mainstay for years when we pivoted to Shuya because we peeped their sign saying they billed themselves an "omakase noodle restaurant." We were guided toward the back, past white marble tables with beautiful mustard colored velvet chairs to the long countertop facing the open kitchen. We scanned QR codes to pull up the menu, and despite no omakase noodle offerings to be found, decided to stay because the menu options they did have sounded too good to pass up. Of course they had classic shio and miso ramens, but they also had a duck tsukumen, a red snapper ramen, a black truffle ramen, and the dish I set my sights on-- the uni mazemen. There were also lots of appetizers and a long list of high end onigiri featuring proteins like scallop lemon shio, A5 wagyu ponzu, and bluefin chutoro on offer. This place was the real deal. Our group shared the tebasaki wings-- so crispy and so flavorful, I could have inhaled a whole plate of these. The salmon, ikura, and apple appetizer that was served in a glass chalice was superb but even better was the bluefin tuna avocado sashimi with wasabi. That one was a winner across the board. And then my uni mazemen, which really stole the show. There was a very generous portion of uni that mixed with the savory sauce and al dente ramen noodles perfectly. This dish was rich, unctuous, and fresh and definitely delivered in value, though it was double the price of most other noodle bowls. Uni is a delicacy. Having just returned from a second trip to Japan I can say this place is really as good as any restaurant I visited in Japan, and it's right here in Murray Hill. These Murray Hill bros are lucky.
