I went today to the Malcolm X location to try the wings. What a waste of money. Dry run curry and dry rub cumin. I was looking for hot/savory not mid/sweet dried out shoe leather. Lesson learned . Stick to the noodles soups and dumplings/wontons. Be aware medium spice at both locations is not for amateur spice lovers. Broth is excellent as always. Staff wasn't rude nor were they friendly like the other location. I'll stick to the other spot. Won't give a 1/2 star review because I know they have great food. So I don't want to put them down. All other dishes are 4 star read more

This is by far the best Handpulled noodles I had in Manhattan. The noodles were good, spicy level was actually spicy, and the side dishes had good flavors. I got it to go, but I can see it being better if I had it at the restaurant. I will be back to try other dishes when I am in the area again. read more

The Handpulled Noodle - Dapan-Niu, Beijing Bolognese, Beef fried dumplings, Sauteed Bok Choy W/ Garlic, Sauteed Broccoli W/ Garlic, Cucumber Woodear Salad - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Walked in and was wondering why no one else was inside. It was around 8:15pm. I ordered my food and waited a good while. I thibk she got my order wrong because after awhile I heard the cook come out and ask her questions about what I ordered. When she brought out my food, I thanked her and asked for a lid for the soup bowl. She was quite rude and said, "a lid for what?" I explained I needed one for the bowl my dumplings were in. I was in a little bit of a hurry so I thought I'd just go ahead and ask for a lid for leftovers straight away. There was not a single other customer inside and she said, "can you get up and come get it? I'm busy right now." I would have no problem getting my own lid any time but they were behind the counter so of course I asked. She was rude but the dumplings were also just mediocre. I'd say, try someplace else! :) read more

Ah, lamb cumin is amazing. Hits all the right buttons. Not much of a space for dining but that not why you're there.

Got delivery from here and we did want to try the handpulled noodles, even against their advice, and the noodled clumped together. But that was our fault for choosing those noodles despite their recommendation against it (they only recommend the regular noodles). Also, I got the beef broth, but it definitely tasted very gamey, as if there was lamb in it. I don't eat lamb so I was very deterred from my broth and I can tell right away when there is lamb in something. So I didn't eat my entire noodles since they were soaked in the gamey broth. They should write something in the description regarding that. Also, for my delivery, my drink burst and a good amount of it leaked onto my dresser and floor and was wasted. Maybe dine in here, but my delivery experience was very underwhelming. read more

I've lived in the area a while and only tried this place once during the pandemic, and gave it another go and WOW it's my new favorite thing! I've tried the cumin stir fry and the herbal beef soup and they were INCREDIBLE. Big fan of the lagman noodles as they're perfectly chewy and soak up the flavor so well. Definitely worth coming here! read more

PRE-COVID REVIEW: Wow, this was the FIRST place my boyfriend and I dined at during our trip to NYC. I remember searching for a quick bite to eat near our Airbnb and The Handpulled Noodle fit the bill. They were open late enough to us to stop by after taking an Uber/Lyft from the airport to our Airbnb. We walked right on over from our Airbnb to dine in. No regrets picking this place for our first dinner in NYC. The service was good and the staff had great recommendations. I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. Not too sure about the inside seating nowadays, but I remember there not being a lot of space inside to eat. Seems more of a to-go spot. However, they did have inside seating when we were there so my boyfriend and I were able to dine in. Food was delicious. Just looking back at my pictures make my mouth water! Please support this business! It has a very special place in my heart. I'm happy to read the more recent reviews of how the restaurant is even better than before! Not sure how that is even possible, but more power to The Handpulled Noodle. I know for a fact that if I were to make a trip out to NYC in the future I would go out of my way to eat here again, and it isn't just for memories. The food really IS that good. read more

This dude is about THN! I totally get people doing the Flushing comparison and being left wanting. I personally wasn't expecting that level in Hamilton Heights. I went in hoping it would have some authenticity and be on par with Manhattan competitors. For me, THN is executing one notch above that. Add not having to schlep to (or get food couriered / frozen dumplings shipped from) Flushing, or haul to South Manhattan for THN's known major commercial competitor? Once mo', wit feeling: about it! Spicy Cumin Lamb Lagman Noodle (Medium Spicy with Fragrant Fried Shallot Sauce on the side): The flavor profile they develop is neck and neck with the best I've had of this dish. The spice level builds as you make your way through the dish, with new parts of your palate picking up new layers of flavor as you go. This stuff is simply bomb! And they are not playin', y'all! There is a reason they say no refunds if you order those higher spice levels. They are not trying to dumb it down for the typical American palate, which this dude loves. I'm also kind of obsessed with the container they use. And that Shallot Sauce is ridiculous. My only qualm is how thick those noodles are. Hand pulled for sure. But if the flavors weren't so good and addictive I can see a person tapping out since they are giving you a generous portion and those noodles take work to chew (cooked perfectly. Just so thick). That said, I'm going to keep ordering until I try this dish with every noodle type, and then make note to order that noodle type for every order after that. Sautéed Bok Choy with Garlic: awesome side. Light, a little crunch, and the cooking liquid + garlic make for a sort of broth which is really pleasant to drink when you're done with the bok choy. Very refreshing, and generously portioned. Sautéed Kale with Garlic: The thickness theme carries over here as I would have liked the leaves to have been cut one more time to be a little more manageable. But that flavor theme also holds true. I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed kale this much. This side is going in the cart every time I order. Sautéed Broccoli with Garlic: these were good. Love that they still have bite to them. Chunky pieces. Not a stand out side, but a nice option. Stewed Pork Belly Chinese Slider (w/steamed bun): nice, tender pork belly. Really good steamed bun. And went great with that Shallot Sauce. Cumin Lamb Chinese Slider (w/steamed bun): Good! Didn't need any sauce for these. Would like the option to choose your spice level. Though they give you chili oil so you can adjust a bit to your liking. Chicken Shiitake Dumplings: had higher hopes for these. For one, mine arrived broken. But even if they had been in tact, I didn't get a ton of shiitake flavor. Crystal Shrimp Dumplings: These caught me by surprise in the best way. You can honesty taste the handmade difference with both the wonton and the filling. Ridiculously good. Pork & Chive: good. Glad I tried. Would have liked more chive presence. And the biggest surprise of the bags: a note! I appreciated the surprise note (pictured) they add with your delivery order. A respectful nod to "Please use the apps to find us; they're a good thing. But once you know we're here, do your pocket and ours a solid and order for less on our website." Cool, respectful, and balanced. Mind you, some items are still a bit pricy (considering carb to protein ratio) even when ordered direct. But this is some seriously delicious grub that takes time and talent to make by hand. So you're talking money well spent, and a business I hope people will help keep on its feet. read more

The traditional with lamb has really great flavor。I opted to get the spiciest option and was not disappointed. Even though it was spicy, it wasn't overpowering and added to an already fantastic dish. The sauce had a tomato base and was mixed with chili powder. The takeout boxes are large so the portions appear small but are plentiful for one person. I also opted for the cucumber and woodear salad which in my opinion had too much raw garlic, but tasted great with the addition of sesame oil. I traveled over 100 blocks there and back and will gladly do it again. Highly recommend read more

Super tiny place with good noodles and more. I went for the traditional stir fry ribbon noodles - which are flat and wide - with beef. They were yummy. My friend went for the spicy cumin lamb stir fry lagman noodles - which are rustic standard noodle shape - and I found them to be less flavorful. We also got some pork and chive fried dumplings, but they were too greasy, so I wasn't a fan. Maybe next time I'll go for the steamed ones. Overall, the place offers satisfying - yet pretty heavy - meals. read more

This is one of those places where you go and you're like DAMN then you forget about it and then you go again and you're like DAMNNN why did I forget about you Handpulled?? Excellent service, excellent food this place is a smash hit. Some things to know - very limited seating (bar style on stools) as the place is pretty small. Portions are BIG, I always have some to eat the next day. No alcoholic beverages. Don't sleep on the steamed dumplings. Run don't walk! read more

The Handpulled Noodle - Traditional Stir Fry on Ribbon Noodles (my fave) w chicken and veggies. Low heat - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Pros - I ordered the herbal veggie noodle soup. The dish was actually really flavorful and the vegetables were seasoned and cooked very well. Cons: - The employee was waffling back and forth on whether that dish was vegan or not. So it was a little bit concerning ordering the dish because I'm not sure if it's actually vegan. - the register asked for a tip when I paid with credit card (despite not being a sit down restaurant). - It's a bit overpriced read more

This is one of those gems that you just love to find. I had no idea this was here and I am glad I found it. It is a small noodle shop that does mostly takeout. They have a simple menu but had different options for styles of noodles. My favorite is the ribbon noodle which is wide one similar to papardelle pasta. I ordered the ribbon noodles with the lamb stir fry. They let you order it with different spice levels so I went with medium spice. It is hard to stop eating this dish. The noodles had some texture to them and the sauce, lamb, and vegetables perfectly complimented the dish. So good! I also tried the steamed pork and chive dumplings. These were good but I have had better dumplings. Be careful because they are kind of like soup dumplings so hot broth will explode out of them when you bite into them. I highly recommend trying this out. This would be perfect hangover food and I wish I had one next door to where I live! read more

THN has to be one of my favorite places to order from in the heights. I can't say I've ever been inside but I have ordered dozens of times from Uber Eats and have never been disappointed. So judge all you want but if you like spicy foods, I highly recommend the Crazy High (no refunds) Spice Level. I always order the traditional stir fry with ribbon noodles and chicken and crazy high spicy and have never been let down. And I always add on scallion pancakes because who doesn't love scallion pancakes? read more

This is place is a hidden little gem. I love their noodles and the options they give. They have a bunch of different options to choose from on noodles and spicy level wise. The inside is deff for a casual spot to sit and enjoy not as much of a formal sit down. The people were great and really kind. The portions were massive also. This lasted me for 3 days. read more

I think the noodles could have been more spicier and had more meat, overall, I think this was a fair handpulled noodle place.

It was nice to have vegan options. When you ask for extra spicy, they deliver. The noodles could've been softer or with more sauce. Mine were on the dry side. Pricey and no mind-blowing. The dumpling soup was very good. read more

I've enjoyed hand pulled noodles in San Francisco, England, and Los Angeles so I was really looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, the dish I ordered didn't live up to expectations.

The Handpulled Noodle - Dapan-Niu - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Handpulled noodle is a reliable take out spot. My two go-to orders are the pork wonton soup and the handpulled ding ding noodles with chicken. As they advertise, they take their spiciness serious. The moderate spice level is truly spicy. For a slight zing, I would go for the low spicy instead. The wonton soup is the best meal. It comes with 10 wontons, lots of bok Choy and decadent broth. It isn't too heavy so you can eat it without feeling like you need a nap after. I like the ding ding noodles with chicken as a treat. It is carb heavy but delicious. The noodles are chewy (texture is like gnocchi) and flavorful. I can usually only eat half at a time as it's a lot of noodles! read more

Just dropping in to say I'm so grateful for these guys. I've been a Handpulled Noodle fan from the start. It's my favorite way to entice friends to come to my neighborhood. These noodles are, genuinely, perfect. You MUST get the handpulled (ribbon and lagman are my favorite). It's a bummer they started charging extra for them, but hey, no one is immune from inflation. Pick up is always incredibly quick and easy. Order directly from their website, the platform is easy to use and it helps the business. I actually don't know what I'd do without Handpulled Noodle in my life. It's so good I often have to convince myself NOT to order them multiple nights a week so I can, I don't know, be healthy or whatever. read more

Have ordered from Handpulled Noodle regularly for years now. Tonight was the first night I received the incorrect order, and when I called the store to let them know the employee answered with my name and let me know she had already sent the correct order out. It arrived 5 minutes later, still steaming hot. And a bonus -- the order I received first was something I had never even considered (Dapan Niu) but it was so delicious I'm going to order it forever. read more

Great place for takeout! You can even easily place your order (for takeout or delivery) through Yelp itself. I ordered the spicy cumin beef, medium spice. It had a great flavor and I liked the texture of the lagman noodles. If you like spicy food, I would recommend going for the high spicy level - medium wasn't enough for me. I'll be back! read more

I've tried a couple of things from the handpulled noodle before and wasn't too impressed, but I kept hearing my family members say how great it was. I tried ordering again and had the best meal I've had all month! The spicy tingly lamb soup was amazing. Medium heat wasn't very hot but was very flavorful, I opted for the glass noodles. Also got some scallion pancakes and dumplings, everything was great! Now that I know what to order I'll definitely be a more frequent customer. read more

I have been dying to try to place for a bit but never have free time to travel to Harlem. I finally made the trip and I'm happy I did. I order the Dapan Niu spicy beef stew with ribbon noodles. I chose the spicy level even though it stated super hot and no refunds if too spicy, I felt challenged. Hahaha 2 slushies, 1 bottle of water,and a empty noodle bowl, and a ice cream cone later I was happy with a stinging tongue. Next time I will definitely get the cut noodles because I felt like I was slurping and splashing sauce everywhere. Over all great flavors and delicious food for a late night craving. read more
