Hand-pulled noodles, dumplings, soups, and stir-fries with customizable spice
"This small, mostly takeout spot has great spicy-as-you-like-it Chinese noodles on a stretch of Broadway known for mango-filled fruit stands. The specialty here is a thick, northwestern-style noodle served in a variety of spicy soups and stews made with lamb and beef. (Make sure to try their signature ding ding noodles with cumin lamb). There are also dumplings, wontons, and even bao sliders, plus drinks like the not-too-sweet white peach pekoe black tea. The noodles are best when eaten fresh, so if you’re doing takeout, make sure to run home as quickly as possible." - the curious uptowner, sonal shah

"At The Handpulled Noodle—which has two Uptown locations, and one in Hell’s Kitchen—you can customize your stir-fry or noodle soup with base flavors like cumin and dry yellow curry. Or, just trust their combinations, like the dapan ji with stewed chicken and ribbon noodles. Call 917-262 0213 for takeout, or order delivery on their website here—and be sure to add some dumplings to your order." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine
"Through dishes like tingly lamb soup and Beijing bolo, the Handpulled Noodle demonstrates the incredibly heterogeneous world of Chinese noodles. The restaurant is guided by cooking traditions in northwestern China, as their noodle offerings demonstrate. Choose from among four types of noodles as well as scallion pancakes, dumplings, and vegetable sides." - Kayla Stewart
"Ding Ding Noodles With Spicy Cumin Lamb At The Handpulled Noodle in Harlem, you can customize your own noodle soup, or throw all your trust into our favorite option, the spicy cumin lamb with ding ding noodles. And, really, there is no wrong answer. If you plan on making a delivery order, use the restaurant’s mobile app, and if you have trouble deciding which spice level to choose, keep in mind that “hot” is objectively much closer to a “medium” here." - nikko duren
