"We like Tonii’s for several reasons, the least important of which is that the walls are covered in adorable cartoon rice roll caricature. The most important reason is that they serve a short menu of things like curry fish balls, soups, and rice noodles, all for $4.50. Get the beef, shrimp, and roast pork rice noodles, and sit under one of their white tents in the middle of the blocked-off section of Bayard Street." - hannah albertine
"Fans of the daytime cafe will immediately recognize the Welcome to Chinatown merch for Tonii’s Fresh Rice Noodle—t-shirts and mugs that mimic the massive chalkboard menu and list popular rice roll items like roast pork, duck, and mixed vegetables alongside Tonii’s smiling sponge cake mascot." - Emma Orlow
"I get the curry fish-ball rice rolls here and pile on all the sauces—peanut sauce, hoisin, soy, and hot sauce—to make it exactly how I like it." - Calvin Eng
"In Manhattan’s Chinatown, Tonii’s Fresh Rice Noodle owner Elizabeth Yee reports no issues enforcing mask and social‑distancing rules over the weekend, saying neighborhood locals 'look after each other' and that wearing a mask now 'just seems respectable'—a matter of common courtesy." - Erika Adams
"Located in the 10013 zip code, Tonii’s Fresh Rice Noodle — described as a rice roll destination and co-owned by Liz Yee — has been squeezed financially: Yee says the business received a Paycheck Protection Program loan that has now dried up, forcing owners to burn through personal savings, and she laments that "no matter how hard Chinatown works, we still get the short end of the stick," while remaining optimistic that talks with the city could produce a positive outcome." - Tanay Warerkar
