"I found the gut-busting bowl of spicy chicken with cold noodles ($12) to be a perfect contrast of bouncy noodles tossed in just the right amount of nutty sauce, generous chile-slicked cubes of chicken, and cool cucumber slivers — an overflowing, satisfying dish I don’t want to wait until summer to order again." - Eater Staff

9 Top Restaurants to Eat at in Kips Bay | Eater NY

"This tiny noodle shop with four tables feels like dining in a chef’s restaurant kitchen with boxes of dried noodles and tubs of soy sauce lining the walls. It’s easy to gloss over a spot that looks like a neighborhood Chinese-American takeout joint at first glance, but the affordable prices and chile-fueled recipes make this a worthy destination. The lamb noodles, which Eater critic Robert Sietsema called top notch, is a must-try dish. A limited menu also includes wonton soup and other noodle dishes like the stellar spicy chicken with cold noodles." - Bao Ong

As authentic and hole in the wall as it gets, and as tasty as it gets. My friend took me here twice, once in 2018 and once in 2023, and I am so happy to have witnessed this establishment survive through the pandemic because it absolutely deserves it. The place barely had spaces so we had to wait until someone left, but luckily people would be in and out anyway, just like they would back in China. Once again, the vibes were screaming China in all manners not only from the store, but also from the customers. Every dish I have had was a hit. The chicken with chili sauce had very authentic chili sauce and lots of pieces of chicken and was just amazing. I don't really have any words to describe it because it was just authentically good, if that makes sense. The noodles were great as well with a lot of flavor, and tasted just like what I would have when I was in China. Again, I don't know how else to describe how good it was. One really needs to try it to know what I mean. With so many restaurants in New York, I may still choose to come back here because it's economical and has quality food, both of which probably factors allowing this establishment to survive through the pandemic. Highly recommend!

Delicious, no frills. I used to come here regularly when I lived next to it, and I just returned years later. The main chef apparently returned to China ~1 year ago, but the dishes were just as I remembered. I see they've expanded into other locations, good for them. This location is the original.

A coworker recommended me this place, and I finally got to try it! It did not disappoint! I absolutely loved the wonton soup!! I would have it again!!! My husband got the chicken fried rice which was good too! Not too spicy! They have a wide variety for all tastes at a good price! The jasmine drink is my favorite! 💯 recommended!

Burp Bowl is a complete hole in the wall, but the food is incredibly delicious and authentic. Seriously, it feels like you're stepping into a restaurant in China. I've been numerous times now and my favourites are their beef noodle soup, which has a savoury beef broth and tender chunks of beef, and the sliced beef tripe appetizer, which has notes of sweetness and spiciness. The beef trip noodle soup and pork tongue were also great, but not as good as the beef noodle soup and sliced beef tripe appetizer. I did not like the wontons in chili oil, since it literally just came in a bowl of oil. And if you're a vegetarian, they have a delicious veggie noodle soup, which pairs super well with the chili crisps they have in-house.

😆👌👍The fired golden tofu is to die for. It’s so crispy outside and so tender & juicy inside! Don’t miss it~ the real hidden 💎 The potato salad is churchy & tasty. Really special.

Great food! Fair prices. I love the taste and the spices. Solid 5 stars no complaints whatsoever. Would recommend absolutely. Try their fried rice and put some spicy sauce they have at their tables... absolute gem

One of the best "hole in the walls" I've found in NYC. Mainly have noodle soups but they're delicious. The chili oil wontons were also amazing, we had to order a second one since everybody loved them so much.
