very yummy authentic noodle place! i loved the herbal chicken noodle soup, its very warming and not too salty. i asked for some chili oil with the soup and it was delicious. my friend ordered the beef noodle soup and it came with a lot of veggies, she liked it as well. for an appetizer we ordered the crispy potatoes. it's definitely on the saltier side but the spice was perfect! service wasn't too fast, wasn't too slow. we waited around 15-20 mins for our food to arrive. the potatoes came last. it's pretty dark and nice inside. very clean and small restaurant, would come again! read more

Was patiently waiting for this place to open walking by it being built every day. The food was AMAZING! Staff was so nice and service was great :) Great mid afternoon vibe read more

Is there a 10 star option?! This place was excellent, from the flawless service to the superb bites, just effortlessly perfect experience. You could tell that it wasn't my luck on the server or the particular chef today, it's just what they do and they do it with ease. Early for our reservation, they welcomed us with a smile. Our order was burned in our minds before we arrived. Pork dumplings, soup dumplings, steamed cha siu bao, minion buns and Tang's signature fried rice. The dough was silky and delicate, the filling savory and wholesome. High end bites with the feeling of home. What more could you ask for. From the loose leaf jasmine tea, to the whimsical minion buns, it was seamless. read more

We went for AYCE noodles through Pulsd, and this place knocked my socks off. I still think about their thousand year old egg (perhaps it was a hundred years old egg?) either way, DELICIOUS. Decent options for vegetarians and even more if you're not, each noodle is spicy and flavoral, and they let me take the last bowl home. Good service, and a no frills environment, come hungry, leave satisfied. read more

I came here with a friend for lunch, and unfortunately we did not get the best service nor food. We were immediately seated as the space was empty, and placed our order soon after. The Ma Jiang Mian came quick, but it lacked flavor and the chicken was dry. The sauce did not add much, and I expected more. We also ordered pork dumplings, but it took about twenty five minutes to come out. Insanely long considering we were the only customers at that time. The dumplings were good, overall. The server also took a while to get our bill, and we had to call him over multiple times. read more

Upscale restaurant with classic Chinese dishes. While slightly cramped, it's got more seating than expected; not ideal for parties but fine for a date night. We didn't have to wait for a seat, even without a reservation. Prices vary from $10-25 for appetizers and entrees, respectively. Ordered the beef braised noodles, cucumber salad, chicken wings, and mashed potato rice noodle. Everything seemed slightly elevated and looked great. Wings and cucumber salad weren't bad but also nothing special. I liked the beef braised noodles; the meat was tender and the broth was subtle, though a bit too unctuous. The mashed rice noodle was surprisingly good, though I'm not sure I'd ever order it again. Everything was on the spicy side, as a warning. Though I'm not sure if I'd come back, I would recommend giving this place a try. The "wok hay" is real here. read more

Such an amazing place! Came here for dinner and the server was sooo sweet and attentive. We started with the dumplings in chili oil which were delicious. I got the beef soup noodles and the beef literally melted in my mouth. My boyfriend got the drunken noodles and that was equally as amazing. Super huge portions and decent prices too. Then we shared the sizzling noodles and they were amazing too! Seriously no misses. We then ended with the minion custard buns and we agreed it was one of the best desserts we had in a long time. Really loved this place and would love to come back to try some of the other dishes! read more

It was a decent spot, had more tables than I expected and the food was pretty good. It's a bit out of the way to go often unless you're already in the upper west side, but the food was tasty. I especially enjoyed the oxtail soup, the meat came right off the bones with no effort and the broth was flavorful. The texture of the thin noodles I asked for still had some chew which was great. read more

I love their stinky tofu. I crave it all the time and the flavor profile is fabulous. I love the pungent flavor and the texture. I also crave their drunken noodle from time to time and it's one of my go-to orders on Uber Eats / Doordash. I can't speak much for service and ambiance but I CAN say their food is great! read more

Came back again after 4 years because I remember their herbal chicken noodle was really good. But I was very disappointed coming all the way here this time. I sat at the bar. The waiter was not friendly didn't welcome didn't smile. Looks like he was having a bad day, the chef behind the counter all just stood around didn't seem like they are very busy just waiting for customers. I was given a bottle, the waiter didn't even pour me water, have to self service. The noodle was the most disappointed, the broth was water down not thick anymore. The herbal flavor was weak. The chicken leg on top was also flavorless. The quality really went downhills since they just opened four years ago read more

First Impressions- found this spot on yelp with the hubby and spontaneously changed our minds from take out to eating out. Glad we did because this spot is super cute. Loved the bar seating with the glass front that allowed us views of the kitchen. I always love watching food being prepared... and bonus is we got to see how how clean and orderly the kitchen is. Always a plus since a well kept kitchen means less chance of food poisoning! The Noms: Boneless chicken thighs - served cold... but I didn't see it noted in the menu, the hubby and I expected it to be hot so it was a bit disappointing Fried pork and chive dumplings - delicious, but same as we can make at home so nothing to write home about, the chili oil that it came with mixed with soy sauce made these dumpling FIRE though! Dan Dan noodles - maybe I'm used to the Dan Dan noodles from Han Dynasty... so I was a little disappointed that these were a bit on the dry side. In Conclusion - this is a lovely spot, good for a first date since views of the kitchen will provide good conversation starters. Some of our neighboring diners ordered some bomb looking food so I'd be down to try this spot again in the future. read more

Loved this place. Great for vegetarians. We ordered the sizzling noodles with chili oil and all the vegetarian dim sum options and the minion bao ofcourse. All of them were great. The only item that was just ok was the chongqing spicy chicken, it was alright but not something i would order again. It is little pieces of fried chicken with loads of fried chillies comes with a side rice, but overall didnt work well for our group. The folks that took our order and served food were all very pleasant . But definitely a must try spot read more

Excellent service and good. Tasty unique drinks. And clean! Can't recommend this place enough.

I was lucky enough to be treated here by a friend for dinner. We got a whole bunch of things, but my favorites were the apple sidra (this was basically like an apple soda) and the Stir-Fried Rice Noodles with Petai (this was essentially a beef chow fun). Everything else was kind of mid. The braised beef noodle soup was too salty and the stir fried Chinese chives with pork was NOT at all like what I expected we'd get lol. The latter probably would've been better paired with white rice, which my friend took leftovers home to probably pair it with. Service was really good, but overall I don't see myself coming here often. Perhaps I would order the stir fried rice noodles for online delivery, but not sure I would come back unless maybe my Chinese parents were visiting and I needed a close ish Chinese restaurant lol. Then this will do! read more

The Tang ( @thetangnyc ) | 920 Amsterdam Ave NY NY 10025 . The Tang is a cozy Chinese sit-down restaurant located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It's a local restaurant known for its #noodles . I absolutely loved the small plate options here. I know I typically go for dumplings but I wanted to feature their other menu items because they were just as delicious. I was blown away by the fried tiger prawns. So delicate, so flavorful and the right portion for 2 people. The service is super quick. We ordered and most of our food came out instantly. I'm also a fan of seeing my food being prepared. It's an open kitchen layout. They also have happy hour cocktails, sake, and beer. . Here's a look at what we ate: Pan-Fried Turnip Cake Taiwanese Sausage w/ garlic, pickle veggie + purple rice Fried Tiger Prawn With Salted Egg Yolk Braised Beef Noodles Soup Ma Jiang Mian: House-made sesame paste topped with shredded chicken thigh, sliced cucumber, sliced carrot, salted mustard, and House-made chili oil read more

The Tang serves a variety of contemporary Chinese food including noodle soups and tasty plates like tiger prawns and dumplings. Vibe is very nice too, great for a catchup with a friend. We ordered: Braised beef noodle soup Drunk noodles Fried tiger prawn w/ salted egg yolk Salt + pepper pork ribs Pork dumplings in chili oil Yuzu beer Plum apple wine My favorites of all the dishes were the jumbo salted egg prawns - so juicy and so much flavor! The drunk noodles had a half-soup broth that was worth getting again. This whole meal was honestly so comforting :) read more

I live in the neighborhood and went out to try this spot I've been seeing. I went here about month ago. Very nice interior with an open kitchen and a single wall of booth and chair seating and a few high tables and normal tables. I got their Gold medal beer which was a decent lager. Golden and light, on the hoppier side. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be this way but the pour looked terrible to me. 3 inch foam in an already short glass. :/ For food I got the pork dumplings and Ma jiang mian noodles (come cold). The dumplings had very very good flavor. Ginger pork, shallots with the vinegar was very nice. A little doughy but great flavor, very thick crispy crust. The ma jiang main noodles came with a mild nutty sauce and paired well with the cold noodles. The noodles were firm and springy. It matched the firm carrots. Overall though the dish could have been salted better though. The service was pretty good, but with this go- I can't rate this place 4-stars as a good place you should go back to. May try it again with different items, but another new place could easily but just as fair. read more

I'm trying to order now Last time I had salmon and avocado wraps and spring rolls. The only bad thing I have ever had was a beef bone soup. That bone had not been cooked 12 hours. The vegan dishes are all good! read more

Come to once because saw some good reviews. But it's a not real Chinese food,it's America style Chinese food. I order two dish, one is cold noodle. It's so disappointing, super dry and hard. And Tasteless. I order another one is call Sichuan spicy chicken, it's a in big plate section, but it's not big enough. The chicken is small and dry and more like popcorn chicken.never come back. read more

How did we not come here EARLIER?! It's so good. It has this casual vibe to it, but the food is so well done it also seems like a "classy" place too. It's hard to mix those two together and find the right balance. We had the dan-dan noodles, the savory scallion pancakes--could not stop eating them. Also, have been feeling a little under the weather, and that chicken soup is probably the best chicken soup I've had. I will definitely be coming back, I love about 20 blocks away, but it's worth the walk! Very impressed. Service was fast, and friendly. Food came out within minutes. I wasn't busy, but still, great job! read more

We had a pulsd deal. Noted that in the reservation (made days ahead of time). They called us 45 minutes before the reservation to say that they decided they're not taking the deal on weekends to "ensure we provide the best level of service." Aka, they provide mediocre service to people using the deal. With such short notice, some of our party was already on the way. So we ended up going somewhere else nearby. read more

This is a response to Gaven, the owner, who replied to my review saying the mushrooms are supposed to be whole and are cooked for 6 hours: don't assume your customers don't cook just because they ordered from you one time. I cook with dried mushrooms all the time, and you have to soak them and then cook them. The mushrooms in your soup were 3" wide, hard, and tasted dry, like someone had thrown them in for 20 minutes. Maybe just find out what happened (maybe there were no more mushrooms in that batch of soup?) instead of telling me that cutting the mushrooms is not done. (Why were they inedible without cutting?) I should praise the pea shoot leaves though. Order them from The Tang! (Had them tonight from another restaurant and the were terrible!) read more

I stumbled by this place one night for dinner and was pleasantly surprised! The service is great and the staff are very friendly. The portion sizes are rather large so expect to have left overs or eat family style. The eggplant was average, it was good but I wouldn't order it again. However, I really enjoyed the noodles that I got, it was a very clean and flavorful broth. Definitely recommend trying their noodles. read more

wow, I was actually really impressed by this restaurant! It's a pretty small Chinese restaurant close to Columbia University and it's great! I would highly recommend if you're looking for some northern Chinese cuisine. I got the chicken noodle soup with the Chinese medicine in it, and I felt immediately better with a slight cold I had that day. The other appetizers including the dumplings and cucumber on the appetizer menu, looked really really great, and I will definitely come back. The service was really fast and attentive. It was also nice to see that the chefs in the kitchen right in front of you were making your food fresh and I do believe that they pulled their own noodles. read more

Well not bad, not very good either. Average Chinese food. We only ordered the take out and we may order again in future.

Quality noodle soup! As a Chinese native, proud to say this is the best noodle soup I've had in a while. Loved the 6-hour simmered broth from both the herbal chicken noodle soup and the oxtail beef noodle soup! 6 hours of work do make a great difference The other dishes are also really good!

I've been here twice. Got the pineapple fried rice to go and thought it was alright. The second time I dined in with a friend. It was rainy and cold out so we both wanted soup. We ordered noodle soups and the marinated cucumbers. 4/5 Braised Beef Noodles Soup - not enough vegetables. Very good flavor in the broth. 4/5 Tang's Herbal Chicken Noodle Soup - not enough vegetables. Good broth though 3/5 Spicy Marinated Cucumbers - good to pair with the noodle soups especially since the soups did not have many greens. The cucumbers didn't hold onto much of the flavor of the marinade. I was dipping it after every bite. They have Lao Gan Ma's crispy chili at the tables. While I absolutely love this chili, would have been cool if they had their own in-house chili. The interior is cute. I love the plants they have strung up on the lights and how the kitchen is open. You can see what the kitchen team is doing if you're sitting at bar style dining seats. Would return to try other items. read more

This place has great reviews on google. No doubt manufactured by a horde of bots because the actual experience was totally different. Dishes are bland and have either been prepared days in advance or are bulk bought from Chinese food distributors. Bland The cold marinated beef slices look gross - they have tendons and gristle, are freezing cold because they just came out of container in a fridge. The also appear dark grey. Taste is ok but absolutely not restaurant standard. Mass made The dumplings are clearly not made there and are bulk bought from a distributor. You can tell because they're all the same shape and have a vague taste of disinfectant/preservatives when you bite in to them after they've been microwaved (aka "steamed"). Never again. read more

My server told me the food is delivered to the tables quick, and it was. Everything was cooked to order and was very fresh. Interior is dark but not overwhelming. The server consistently checked on my table and provided water refills throughout my visit. The bathroom is in the corner of the dining room, so if you are eating near it you can hear it flush after being used. read more

I've had the oxtail soup in their restaurant and it was really good. Ordered for take out this time and whatever I received looked like it came from a different establishment! Broth had no color or seasoning, no vegetable toppings, the oxtail was meager with hardly any meat. Just noodles, a few bones and 2 big root vegetables that tasted and had the texture of something really old, as if they found some turnips somewhere and added them in for good measure. For $30 with fees, I'm disappointed. read more

Dining at The Tang was such a pleasant surprise. This is probably the best kept underrated secret on the UWS. To start, the service here is phenomenal! The staff are extremely kind and patient. I highly recommend getting the braised beef noodle soup. This is an absolute must ! The beef was so tender and the flavor was so good. The shredded cabbage is also a must try! It's packed with lots of spice and flavor. This could honestly be a whole dish in itself. Overall great place and will definitely be back!! read more

Food was delicious and large portions. Service was really good as well. I went with my dad and we shared huge pork dumplings that were some of the best I've had, and a dry spicy beef noodle w mashed potatoes on top (sounds weird but surprisingly good). We then each had some soup. My dad had the oxtail soup and I had the drunk noodle soup with beef shanks. We each left half of our soup and had it for lunch the next day. Over all we enjoyed ourselves and will be back. read more
