    Menu as of October 2025

    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!

    Come here for good, inexpensive comfort food! The XLB has a lot of soup, and the skin is not thick and not too thin. And super random but wow the white rice was so good haha. Wish Yozi was in Astoria! At Yozi, you seat yourself and order at the counter, then your food will be served to you when ready. I've seen people come here with friends or family or by themselves and just watch stuff on their phone. Love the versatile environment here! Staff are also super friendly.

    One of my favorite spots for a quick casual bite. You order and pay up front, then find a table. There is a downstairs level if the main floor is full, but it usually smells like the bathroom so I only go down there if I really have to. My usual orders are the tomato beef noodle soup, fried buns, soup dumplings, and pot stickers. I recently tried the yuzhou chicken and it was tasty and full of flavor. They give a generous portion of chicken too. I asked for mild but it still had a nice kick. Service is nothing special, definitely a no frills place. Also keep in mind they do not provide water, so make sure to order a drink when you pay. I highly recommend the honey chrysanthemum tea!

    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!

    duck offal soup and xiaolongbao combo

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

We finally agreed on Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Kau Fu, Dry Sautéed Green Beans with Meat, Salt & Pepper Squid, and Shanghainese Style Rice Cakes. The Kau Fu arrived first, and was truly exceptional, with large, firm, and juicy chunks of seitan, and a good sprinkling of large, not rubbery tree ears. My friend who said she didn't like seitan tried it, and liked it a lot. Kai Fu has a slight licorish flavor, and is a little sweet. We finished every bite. Moving on to the soup dumplings, the broth was delicate and the skins were thin and tender, altogether the best I've had in a long time. The green beans were perfect, seared and crispy, as they should be, with ground pork and a little pickled veg. The rice cakes were appropriately chewy, and we enjoyed the baby bok choy, mushrooms, and shrimp in the mild sauce. The squid was the only dish that wasn't perfect, being a little bland and a tiny bit too chewy for the size of the pieces. The service was attentive without being too much. We were offered hot tea, and a second carafe of water, without having to ask. The noise level from the other diners was a bit high for me, but I put my hearing aids on the noisy/party setting, and I could hear my friends, which was the important thing. We all agreed that we needed to come back again (and again) to try other dishes. I especially want to have the Hong Kong style Hot & Sour soup, which you can't get at most Chinese restaurants.
