Wow! Food was absolutely amazing. So fresh and delicious. Highly recommended and worth the wait. Beef ramen was wonderful and the pork dumplings were a hand-made delight. So awesome letting my kid try real, fresh ramen! Lots of options on the menu and if you order to go, the bags are amazingly insulated to keep your food fresh and warm!! Impressed all around.
If you want to taste traditional Chinese food, rich in flavors, this restaurant will happily help you with that. We tried scallion pancakes with sliced beef, steamed and pan fried pork dumplings, noodle soup with beef bone broth and steamed buns with mushrooms and bok choy. The list looks comprehensive enough, and it was - we left some of the soup as all other dishes were quite tasty and not easy to leave behind. The place is spacious enough, clean, and the staff is courteous and patient (particularly when explaining). The prices are very reasonable - great value for the money.
The Buns were outstanding. The deep fried Chinese carrot dumplings were extremely good. The ingredients are different from what we have tasted in Canada. The standard is even higher than Vancouver and Toronto. I would recommend this tiny restaurant in Manhattan for everyone to try. If I have the chance to visit New York again, I will go there to try other dishes.
incredible food, great service, and awesome location. stopped by this little restaurant after a comedy show down the road. they were able to seat my party of 2 right away. We ordered the pan fried duck buns, pork soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, and the house special stir fried hand cut noodles. everything is absolutely cooked to perfection and delicious I highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite restaurants to get lunch or dinner on workdays!
No.1 recommendation is Fish Mala Tang, super large portion for the price, and it contains a lot of veggies that make it a balanced meal.
I also really like the steamed pork buns (soup dumplings), they are freshly made, and you can see this in through the kitchen windows. The dumpling skin is fairly thin, and the meat inside is very tasty.
Finally, I really like the noodle dishes, especially beef noodles - the beef you can tell was cooked for many hours, so very tender, and is very well seasoned. The noodles are well cooked, and is not hard to chew at all.
All in all, would definitely recommend coming here for a quick meal during the work week - service is usually pretty quick and friendly.

Glad to see it opens this store midtown East, perfect for a quick work lunch. Soup dumplings and dim sum are perfect taste and authentic. The menu also offers veggies, noodles, and other main courses.
This is a Michelin Bib recognized Chinese restaurant. They don't really do Ramen, but Chinese sliced noodle, la mian. It reminds me more of Taiwanese Beef noodle soup. The Michelin recommended dimsums and xiao long bao are excellent and don't skimp on the ingredients. I recommend the wonton soup which has a lot of full sized wontons in a made from scratch broth with nori, cilantro and baby bok choy (I think). The receptionist was a little grouchy but I guess she was really busy but we were rushing for our play. They add a 15% service charge in lieu of a tip. Great spot.
I've done takeout and eat in here, and the food is INCREDIBLE!
When you first step into this tiny treasure, you will probably have to wait for a table. It doesn't seat that many, and the tables are right next to each other, so get comfy with your neighbor! BUT... it's worth the wait and tight quarters.
The food is perfectly prepared and absolutely bursting with flavor. From the dumplings down to the stir-fried noodles, take a tour of sauces and textures that will delite your senses.
The only thing I was a little disappointed with were the duck buns. I wanted more duck, but I will say the sauce and texture of them were delightful. The baby bok choy was delicious and al dente, not soggy. I love scallion pancakes with beef, and these did not disappoint. The stir-fried noodles, though, are my favorite. I've had the shrimp and the original. Go with the house special. You get beef, shrimp, and a hard-boiled egg. It's the feel-good food you didn't know you needed... until you do.
The prices are also very reasonable. A friend and I went and ended up sharing several dishes and desserts. I also got a coconut milk green tea, and it was around $34 each for a lot of food. So much food, I couldn't eat my second taro puff, which was a shame because it was delicious! The light, crispy texture of the outer puff pastry mixed with the warm chewy, gooey lightly sweet goodness on the inside and just a small amount of sesame seeds on the outside for a little crunch made this the perfect end to a perfect meal. So, instead of ruining it by taking it home, I gave the extra to our neighbors, who were sitting inches away, and found out they were on their honeymoon from Australia. It's great to make new friends. They even came to my show a few days later!
