Menu as of October 2025
Allena C.

While in Brooklyn's Chinatown, we had lunch at Yozi Noodles. This spot offers a variety of Shanghainese fare, including soup dumplings, noodles in spicy and non-spicy soup, pan-fried dumplings, duck with glass noodles...etc. It's a modern, clean, and brightly lit eatery where you can pick a table, look over the menu, then order at the cashier. They give you a number, so the server can locate your table when the food is ready. ***OUR PICKS*** OSMANTHUS DUCK VERMICELLI NOODLE SOUP+STEAMED PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS WITH CRAB (6 PCS) ~ Tender slices of duck in a flavorful broth. I found the noodles to be a bit overcooked. Though we were ok with that. The fried tofu gave an interesting texture to the overall dish. (XLB) The dumpling wrappers were just the right thickness. We don't like it very thick. The inside filling was seasoned well and had a balanced consistency, where it was neither too soft nor tough. And the wrappers did not break until we bit into the dumplings. 4/5 VERMICELLI NOODLE SOUP WITH FRIED TOFU ~ This looked like the other bowl without duck. The same noodles were used, so both bowls had very soft vermicelli noodles. A bowl of soup noodles almost always hits the spot for me, so I was content. 4/5 Affordable spot with generous portions of good food that won't break your wallet! Glad we got to try Yozi Noodles!

This restaurant is a chain with a few locations throughout the city. I have ordered delivery from this place multiple times and have dined in person. The food definitely tastes better in person. With the rising cost of food everywhere, this place is a steal! Cheapest and tastiest XLB in my opinion! My friend and I usually come here to dine in and we always get the regular XLB and the one with crab. The crab XLB is definitely better and you can actually taste the crab flavor. Another favorite of ours is the cilantro beef in spicy oil. Great flavor and delicious! I always get the honey chrysanthemum tea as well and it is so refreshing! I have ordered takeout from here and the food didn't taste the same. The dumplings were soggy and didn't taste as fresh in person. I have also ordered the frozen XLB to make at home and it just wasn't the same. This has become our new go-to place to dine in on 8th ave for a quick bite. As soon as you enter, you place your order at the cashier and find a seat and they'll bring the food to you. Tip is also optional! The restaurant is always clean and the staff is very nice! If you pay in cash, no tax will be added to your bill. We'll definitely be back to try the other items on the menu!

So good stew

Love this spot! Perfect for a cold winter night. Great staff, very friendly. The food is so tasty and love the chili oil condiment. I will definitely be back!

Nanjing Salted Chicken

Definitely a gem for soup dumplings in the area. The vermicelli broth was great--light, creamy, and pairs really well with the noodles. Their dry pots were surprisingly flavorful too, though I'd recommend getting extra spice. The plum juice might be an acquired taste, but I found it really refreshing.

duck offal soup and xiaolongbao combo
Tony J.

Jiangsu style noodle shop on the 8th Ave Brooklyn Chinatown. Went there for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty busy. Small shop that can sit 25-ish people. More or a modern interior with brighter colors and lights. You order and pay at the counter, get a tracker, pick an open table and they bring the food to you. Got the combo of xiaolongbao with the duck offal noodle soup. The duck soup has vermicelli noodles, and you get duck gizzard, blood jelly and liver pieces along with some Shanghai bokchoy and tofu puffs. Soup has a nice slightly creamy meat broth flavor. Relatively light, and the food goes down easy. I like gizzard and blood jelly. The pasty and iron-flavored liver is better eaten with some sauce. As for xiaolongbao soup dumplings, you get six per order. Tasted authentic with nice soup inside and decent skin and fillings. The combo was $16, which is pretty affordable for the amount and quality of food.

Soup dumplings
Shirley H.

I like this self serving restaurant. I was so easy, order at the door and find seatings. The hardest part was to find seatings. There are also extra seats at the lower level, but it's stuffy downstairs. The serves were extremely quick and the food came a few minutes after. Ordered the braised beef noodle soup and it was tasty with some mala flavor, the noodles were ramen and not hand pulled which I prefer hand pulled. The tofu puff vermicelli noodles had a nice broth and was simple. I really enjoyed the elasticity of the potato noodles. The soup dumplings were tasty and nice soup inside. I would come again for a simple and quick meal.

Menu - very reasonable price

Was upset that 86th st location closed down but glad to have a place in 8th ave. The food is always good with large portions . It's self service so tips are optional . Order at the front and get a tag where they will bring you the food. Their duck vermicelli soup base and plain tofu is a hit or miss. I do enjoy their sauketrest fish . Booth seats make it comfortable and spacious.

Xiao Long Baos lacked a certain depth of umami, perhaps ginger
Albert W.

I'd say, 3.5 stars overall. You order in the front so there isn't really table service. There is a confusing self-serve area where there were small paper soup cups but not certain what they are for, as there isn't a water container. I had the beef noodle soup with tomato which was the overall highlight of the meal with great broth. The noodles were not as springy as I'd like, but the nice portion size almost makes up for it. The Xiao Long Bao and Potstickers were okay - not very memorable, but I believe it is because Northern Chinese cuisine doesn't have a lot of seasoning and spices as they could use a bit of ginger in the filling. Good value overall which nudges this to 4-stars. This restaurant isn't for your average American as the "highlight" is actually a dish with duck offal.

Guihua duck vermicelli noodles
Zuobin T.

Sometimes, you just want a simple meal out without having a reservation nor having to wait for a table. It's been years since I last enjoyed meal on 8th Avenue. Fortunately, we chose the right place this time and enjoyed a fast casual meal as a family on a weekend evening after exploring several newer bakeries and the Molly Tea in the neighborhood. We opted for a combo of guihua duck vermicelli noodle soup and crab and pork xiao long baos, an order of shrimp and pork wontons, and spicy ma ma fish soup with white rice. After having already loaded up on bakery items along 8th Avenue, we didn't have any appetite for more food than what we ordered. Everything we ordered was delicious and the portions were great. I haven't had spicy fish soup in a while and enjoyed their version that tickled my tongue with a balance of numbness and spice. The duck vermicelli noodles were also delicious with a good amount of duck on top. The crab and pork xiao long baos exceeded my expectations. The overall service was quick and friendly. The overall space was clean and bright. I can already see myself stopping by again.

Fried dumplings
Jason L.

Came here to try the duck noodle soup. Had a bowl with fried tofu and duck meat. It has the flavour of duck meat. Noodles are firm and fried when eaten out of the soup. Service was good and the place is well-organized. The store looks authentic with classic style.

When you walk in, you order in the front and take a number and the food will be delivered to you. The food comes out pretty quickly. The food is delicious. Pretty good deal with the soup dumplings. 6 for 6.95 which is pretty good for Brooklyn. The fried dumplings r delicious, the crisp at the bottom of the dumplings is my favorite part. There's a lot of seating in the restaurant. There is even a downstairs.

Fried buns
Tiffany S.

I love their soup dumplings and fried buns. They might not be the most flavorful, but they definitely have the most soup inside. The fried buns are literally bursting with hot soup. I also like adding their chili oil to everything for a little kick. I'm not a fan of their other dishes, but I always crave the soup dumplings and fried buns.

Great soup dumplings, fast service, and inexpensive. Restaurant quality food but you order at a counter. These big fat dumpers were delicious.

I'm so surprised, given the 4+ star rating, how bad this food was…read more The hot and sour soup just tasted like black pepper - which is nothing like what hot and sour soup is supposed to taste like. Also, it didn't come with any soup noodles. The scallion pancakes were very thick, and also tasted off. The 1 inch sauce container was only 1/4 filled and the sauce was extremely saucy. The general tso sauce was super thick, gooey and gelatinous, and the fried rice that came with it tasted more like steamed white rice with soy sauce than anything fried. I try Chinese take-out from various spots throughout southern Brooklyn at least 2-3 times a month, and this was really disappointing.

Coming from Queens, where there's a plethora of popular Shanghainese places, I had lower…read moreexpectation for Liu's Shanghai especially for their soup dumplings. We arrived on a Saturday night around 6pm and it was packed; there were two parties ahead of us so we opted to put our name down and wait approximately 15-20, which I thought was pretty reasonable. They arrange the tables to optimize space for the following parties, so you might just get lucky with the seating arrangements. As most Chinese establishments, service was fast-paced, but we never felt rushed at any point of the meal despite the hustle and bustle. We ordered a few items for our party of 4 to share: 1. SCALLOP AND PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS: Surprisingly was a fan of this. There were big chunks of scallops in the meat. Gave the meat a bit of a bounce, but wasn't tough or chewy either. Normally would order crab at most soup dumpling spots, but scallop was new to me. Would get this again. 2. PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS: I commend them for an actual juicy and soupy filling. The pork was seasoned well and we had a whole spoonful of soup from each dumpling. The skin was a little thick for my liking. My judgment of soup dumpling is usually determined by the skin and this one didn't exactly meet the criteria. 3. FRIED WONTONS IN PEANUT AND HOT SAUCE: The star of the show! This was the dish that everyone seems to rave about and what we actually came for. The wontons were fried to a perfect crisp; they were actually crunchy and maintained that despite being dredged in sauce. I felt like there was a bit of a sugary caramelization to it, which balanced out the salty component of the dish. This whole dish encompassed every category in the flavor and texture department. 4. BEEF IN BLACK PEPPER SAUCE: I could've done without this tbh. There were a lot of onions in this, which I have no complaint about, but I wasn't trying to get my money's worth of onions here LOL. Black pepper sauce wasn't anything special either. I actually forgot that it was black pepper sauce because it wasn't peppery enough. 5. SHANGHAI RICE CAKES: The rice cakes had a pleasant chew to it and the sauce coated it evenly. I wish the rice cakes had a little more char to it so it would be more fragrant. Good, but not life changing. Overall a pleasant experience and certainly met expectations. There were some dishes that I liked more than others and some that I could do without. Probs wouldn't make the trip here frequently, but the wontons are definitely worth the trip!

Pork Soup Dumplings: 10/10 Its a bit more big than our usual size back home and I see WHY. There so much soup in them. Like, HELLO! Love, love, love it. Scallion pancakes: 10/10 like I honestly wish they had two pancakes on the plate, because we ordered another one after we killed the first one in like 2 seconds. Spicy wontons: 100/10 everyone has had spicy wontons every else, but these are by far the best I have EVER HAD. They don't just throw chili crisp oil in there, they also put other flavors in there and we ordered a second round of these as well. Eggplant with garlic sauce: 9/10 you can't go wrong with eggplant with garlic sauce. First place I've been too where they don't fry it first, but it was still a hit with us. Dry sautéed shredded beef: 8/10 I personally like, my brother and husband weren't really big fans of it. They said it was too much breading on it and it was super sweet. Vegetable Chow Mein: 8/10 there needed to be more of a veggie and noodle ratio. Flavor was definitely there, but wanted more noodle with every veggie bite. Overall: 9/10 Service was great, presentation was THERE and the food was exactly what you want when you come to Chinatown. It is a wait if you get there at certain hours, but I would totally wait just for them. Worth every step to get here.

Cheli - I love the pork belly. The veggies were a little undercooked, but it still tasted pretty good.

One of my favorite spots for Chinese food in NYC! I was honestly a bit dubious when my friend first…read morerecommended this spot to me since the dishes seemed a bit too Instagrammable, but Che Li was beyond ready to prove that gimmicky food can be authentic and delicious. We started our meal with the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and they were genuinely some of the best soup dumplings I've had in the US -- the skin was remarkably thin, yet sturdy and managed to defend the ultra-flavorful soup from my manhandling and multiple failed attempts to pick one up. We also had the pu'er tea rice with uni, which was a great way to whet our appetite for the rest of the meal; the rice was cooked well and soaked up all of the goodness from the pu'er, and the uni gave the whole dish a great hit of umami. While this was a great and well-executed starter, it was also really small and not the most earth-shattering, so I'll probably opt to skip it for next time; even so, it was great preparation for the next round of dishes, including the full steamed yellow croaker, stir-fried water spinach, and crab and tofu. The steamed yellow croaker was fantastic; the sauce was subtly salty, umami, and tangy, and the fermented rice offered a little pop of sweetness. The fish itself was remarkably tender and easily slid off the bones; the dish was simple, yet executed perfectly. The same could be said of the crab and tofu, which went perfectly with their freshly steamed rice. The crab offered a bit of brininess and saltiness, which the silken tofu just soaked up like a sponge. The stir-fried water spinach was a great pop of green in our otherwise very protein-heavy meal. The veggies were well-cooked and not too oily, but also had a ton of flavor from the verifiable mountain of garlic they threw in there. All in all, this was an absolutely wonderful meal -- the dishes we chose were relatively simple, but crafted expertly and authentically. While a few others definitely felt a bit gimmicky (i.e., the longjiang prawns), the tables around us still had rave reviews for those dishes' authenticity and taste. Will absolutely be stopping by here again the next time I'm in NYC.
