Really affordable for the area with authentic flavor and good portions. Fast service and I liked the hand sanitizer throughout. Although they do seem to recycle, everything is served in plastic. Changing to proper bowls would make a huge difference. Do note that they also incentive reviews by giving free (good) popcorn chicken.

The best vegetarian value in the city! Gluten free noodles too. Love this place for a casual meal south of Times Square in the Fashion District. I ordered N3 (mild) with extra tofu skin. This establishment uses a plastic bowl and utensils, so if you prefer silverware, either bring your own set or place a delivery order.

Such a cute little spot!! I almost missed it but something about the wooden tables and wall of polaroids caught my eye. Very affortable fair, a rare suggestion box, plenty of solo and group tables, a simple menu, and a punch of flavor makes this a true gem. Saved to my favorites.

I stopped by here with my friend for some aunthetic southern Chinese noodles with varieties of topping. This place also serves dishes like rice. Atmosphere feels cozy. I heard that popular menu items are Bao Bao Noodles, Little Hot Pot, and Pork Belly with Rice. Everything tastes fresh and delicious and reasonable prices.

A very cute place perfect for a quick but hearty meal. We ordered the beef noodle soup, veggie ramen with pork broth. Both were amazing for a winter day! Highly recommend trying this place :) ~if you love spice, choose the noodle bowl and ask to make it extra spicy.
