E Noodle Chinatown

A gem for Chinese food on a quiet street Looking around this place, one can tell that care has been placed into the decor. For one, there is a beautiful custom mural of Asians sharing meals together. Their bathroom also has a customized size promoting all forms of gender identity. Staff may not be the most well-versed in English, but if spoken to in Cantonese/Mandarin, they are quite nice and helpful! The portions are large here. For $14.25 (cash), I got a large bowl of congee to last me 3 meals and 4 dough sticks! Congee and dough sticks are a Chinese breakfast that I grew up with and was craving. Prices are decent. You pay the exact price if you pay with cash. Would go back for any additional Chinese food cravings that I don’t typically make myself.

Top dumplings of all time. Got the soup dumps and fried dumps and they are amazing. Very thin wrapper and stuffed full — cannot recommend enough!!

Updated on 02 May 2025 => 3 stars Went back second day in a row to try their char siew and roast duck. Not too bad, char siew a tad sweet. This time round the friendly lady waitress was not around. A guy waiter was serving instead. Pretty ok service initially until when I paid in cash and got back the wrong change. Spoke in my broken cantonese followed by English to highlight to him. No apologies given. Even after he came back with the correct change, no apologies and rather cold attitude. Gave him the tips, did not shortchange him. When I left, no farewell whatsoever, which was extended to other customers before me and also to me the previous day. Not a word. Looked at him as I walked out and he looked away. You gave me the wrong change and it's my fault to highlight to you? Quite disappointed. Now I might not go back again. 01 May 2025 => 5 stars Nice clean place. Ordered the Beef brisket and tendon lo mein. Tasty beef, soft tendons, noodles a little bit on the harder side. Goes great with the chilli oil. Very friendly staff and lady waitress. Recommend.

Great little spot with lots of locals, zero atmosphere but amazing food and good prices; all the noodles we tried (duck, seafood, dumpling) were delicious, as were the spring rolls and you choy. Complimentary green tea was perfect for the cold weather.

I’m slowly dying because I’m leaving NYC and won’t have this back home. Service is so friendly. They also have a clean bathroom.

I saw a review on social media for this place raving about the fried pork & chive dumplings. Boy were they right! The dumplings were delicious!!! Super fresh and tasty, filled with yummy pork and a perfectly thin wrapping. My boyfriend and I also tried the Dan Dan noodles which was also amazingly tasty. Fresh, spicy and overall delicious. We ended up coming back the next day because it was THAT GOOD!

I’ve been here multiple times during lunch hour. The food has been consistently good. It has a very calm vibe and the staff here are incredibly nice and professional. Was offered complimentary tea always. Definitely recommend!

This is a go to lunch spot almost anytime I’m in Chinatown(which tends to be often) it’s VERY affordable with larger portions. Whenever I go I always get the coffee and tea milk tea(so good) I gave this place five stars, but I must warn that not everything is going to be a winner or of the highest quality due to the price. But it’s still a fantastic spot!! The inside of the restaurant is super cute. A little bit of a tight fit upon entry, but they have several tables in the back and the walls are covered in amazing animated art. The staff are pretty attentive and friendly.
