31 Glorious Chinese Restaurants to Try

"Named after Shorty Tang, the Taiwanese chef who introduced Sichuan food to Chinatown in the ‘60s, Tangy Noodle is a Chelsea storefront that sells some of his specialties and some newer concoctions, too. His cold sesame noodles, a simple dish with a mellow sauce supposedly invented or at least adapted by him, is still the thing to get, but then the homemade wontons in chile sauce and spicy beef noodle soup are also well worth contemplating." - Robert Sietsema

Tangy Noodle delivers an outstanding halal-friendly experience with noodles made fresh daily—crafted right in front of you for that extra wow factor. The texture? Perfectly chewy and springy. Whether you’re digging into their spicy beef noodle soup or their signature tangy dry noodles, every bite is loaded with bold flavors, fragrant spices, and authentic Chinese street food vibes—with a halal twist. Highly recommended!

I rarely leave bad reviews unless it’s too far away. I cannot believe it’s a 4.4 out of 5 restaurant. You just ruined my day. The noodle tastes like rubber. Soup is too savory, too much salty. Beef is like fake, and plastic. What’s wrong with the food quality?

I was really looking forward to coming back, but unfortunately, the taste was noticeably off this time. The noodles were much thicker than before last time they were thinner and had a better texture. The broth also lacked the richness and depth I remembered from my visit less than two months ago. Hope this was just an off day, as I really enjoyed it before. The service also 👎🏻 Other option: beef up noodle or old sport noodle

This place was phenomenal, objectively one of the best meals I’ve had in NYC in a while. Everything tasted like it was made by a loving aunty. We ordered the lagman (pictured here) as well as the braised beef noodles and some chicken and lamb skewers. All three were recommended by the staff and amazingly delicious. Perfect balance of fat and salt, with not too much or little of any flavour. The broth in the soup was particularly delicious. Love that it’s halal and operated by a Muslim family.

I had an incredible dining experience at Tangy Noodles! I ordered the braised beef noodle soup, and it was absolutely amazing—the broth was rich and flavorful, and the beef was unbelievably tender, melting in my mouth with every bite. The noodles had the perfect texture, making each spoonful a delight. What truly set this place apart was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. A special highlight for me was their kindness in providing a prayer mat and allowing me to pray—such a thoughtful and welcoming gesture that made my visit even more memorable. If you’re looking for authentic, delicious halal noodles in NYC with top-tier hospitality, this is the place to go! Highly recommend, and I can’t wait to be back!

This is nothing like the same noodle from previous review. I heard they have changed the owner or chef. Worst hand-pulled noodle I have ever had yet it’s also overpriced at $18.. Beef is hard to chew. Soup is too salty. The soup is also not hot at all. I waited 10 + minutes in an empty restaurant just to get a cold noodle. The portion is also small. Went to Xi’an famous noodle right after..

I’m so glad I discovered this spot. The staff is very friendly and the establishment is clean. The food is incredibly flavorful and allows you to experience a cuisine that you don’t see often. The meat is tender and the food is fresh! I’ll definitely be making this a part of my regular dining rotation. Get the dumplings!!

The food here is amazing, big portions, and delicious. Great value for money. We tried the beef soup noodle and the beef dry noodle, flat bread, marinated eggs, and the beef dumplings. Delicious and flavourful. Waiting times was short and the staffs were friendly and great.

Tangy Noodle Came into the city for dinner , I've been wanting to try tangy noodle For a while now. I ordered the Beef noodle soup ($18) medium spice With extra noodles ($3). The medium spice was perfect for me as I'm not into very spicy food anymore. The broth was delicious and hardy and was so good. I had to order extra noodles. Please note Noodles are made in house, which is a plus considering most restaurants outsource their noodles. Service was great, all the staff were welcoming and friendly, and answered all of my questions. The interior was casual with seating for about 25 to 30 people. I would definitely come back again. Let me know if you gave this place a try too. Give this place a try, and follow me on yelp, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube as I travel the world in search of the perfect bowl of noodle soup. @noodlesoupr

We always saw lots of people in the restaurant whenever we walked back to our hotel. So we decided to try it for our take out dinner. - Homemade wonton with chili sauce: the wonton pieces were good! The meat was flavorful and the chili sauce gave good heat. The portion was quite generous. - Tangy special noodle: hubby devoured it and said that it was delicious. The noodle was chewy yet still has some firmness to it. The chasu was tender and well seasoned. The meat sauce was simply delicious.

The food at this place was delicious and we got to try some new dishes that I had never tasted before. However, the service was not up to the mark on the day we visited. Our food arrived without any utensils on the table, and we had to remind the server several times before receiving them. Regarding the food, if you're a fan of tomatoes, I would highly recommend trying the cold tomato poppers. They are soaked in honey sauce and taste absolutely delicious. The tangy special noodles dish was also a hit and perfect if you're having trouble deciding on which noodle dish to order. Lastly, the snow pea sprouts were really tasty and the portion size was generous. Overall, we had a good experience and would definitely return, although we would probably opt for delivery next time.

Mom and I stopped at this small, fast casual restaurant for a quick lunch before a medical appointment. It did not disappoint. The cashier was a helpful and friendly young woman who explained the menu, checked on our food, and helped us close the tricky lid of the takeaway container. The signature prawn noodles with garlic butter sauce was delicious, and I highly recommend it. The chicken lo mein was standard and a good choice for someone who is not keen to try unfamiliar dishes. I would have liked some veggies with the dish, carrots for example.

I was getting hungry and came to this restaurant on the whim because the menu looked good. I ordered a beef noodle soup, as per recommendation of the waitress. The meat was plentiful and delicious. Not too chewy, just the way I like it. In the dish, there was bok choy and half of an egg. The homemade noodles were very long (therefore auspicious), and left me full and satisfied. The broth was a letdown for me as I didn't see any redeeming qualities. Neither medicinal nor hearty, the broth is why I've deducted one star. The dish itself is average. Besides that, the service was attentive and nice, and the restaurant had a few tables full for a Saturday afternoon. There are more authentic, show-stopping noodle soup dishes elsewhere in NYC, so this place was just okay for me.

After visiting Museum of illusions, my husband was craving Chinese food. We did a Yelp search for food near the museum and came up with few options and based on the reviews decided to walk to Tangy Noodle. I am so glad we picked this place. The service and the good was great. It's a small restaurant but has a good amount of tables for seating. The staffs were super nice and the place was very clean. We ordered, the pineapple fried rice, the pan fried dumplings, and Signature Prawn Noodle. We also ordered the Mango and Lychee bubble tea. The pineapple fried rice was inside a half of a pineapple. Not only did the dish looked pleasing to the eye, it was pleasing to the taste buds too. It was very flavorful with fresh pineapple chunks. The bubble teas were great too, just the right amount of sweetness to each one. But if I had to pick my favorite, I would pick the mango bubble tea! All the items were delicious. All the food came out pretty quickly after placing our order. Definitely would recommend this place.

I'm not sure how this spot has such good reviews. The server completely forgot to put in my order so my 3 friends finished their entire meals before my food came out. The beef noodle soup I ordered had the toughest stringiest cuts of beef I've ever tasted in my life. My friends seemed to moderately enjoy their food and this place is quite cheap for Chelsea so +1 for that.

This spot is legit! My friend lives nearby and insisted these are the best noodles around. They were delicious indeed! It's a pretty casual spot and the service is fast, so it's the perfect place for a chill lunch or dinner. We started out with the Cold Sesame Noodle dish, which were really tasty. I especially enjoyed the consistency of the noodles. My friend enjoyed her Prawn Fried Rice, but I'd suggest getting noodles, given it's in the name! I ordered the Tangy Special Noodle, which had a really nice flavor to it. I would totally come back and try some of their other noodle offerings.

We stopped in here for a quick bite on our way to a show There was no wait around 1245 on a Sunday, about half full We ordered wontons in chili oil and tangy special noodle and they don't skimp on the numbing spice in either! Both sauces were Soo flavorful and the wontons were super juicy The chashu was a huge cut and very tender, breakable with just the chopsticks. The wontons & noodles was plenty for 2 of us I also ordered minty lychee and it was super refreshing! It was came with a couple lychees and lychee jelly on the bottom and was a great way to end the meal! The food came out super quick and we were able to get outta there in about 45 mins to catch our show Definitely worth a visit!

Very subpar delivery meal. Everything was either too oily, drowning in liquid, or just not seasoned well to be complimentary to other flavors. Just really didn't enjoy anything sadly. Notes: -veggies tasted the exact same (ordered snow pea sprouts + Chinese broccoli); both drowning in broth -Prawn Noodle Bowl could have used more seasoning, spice. too oily. 6 piece large prawns, red cabbage, mushroom, string beans, egg noodles, mala spicy sauce) -the noodles themselves are amazing and you can tell they're homemade -my partner liked the veggies and his noodles so huge personal preferences at play here

My friend and I were in the area after work on day so we decided to drop by to try this new (ish? to us?) place out. It says Taiwanese food on yelp but one look at the menu will reveal that that is not quite true. Anyways, we ordered the mouth watering chicken (口水雞) as an appetiser to share. It was really yummy! The chicken was quite well-cooked (each bite soft and tender), and the chilli oil was very nice - fragrant, and paired nicely with the lighter taste of the chicken. We both decided to order the beef noodle soup. First, the flavour of the broth was not quite what I expected - I think it's definitely closer to the central/SW Chinese style of cooking beef noodle soup than the Taiwanese style (which, I suppose it was not really a Taiwanese restaurant, so that makes sense). The noodles I quite liked - thick, chewy, and nicely carrying the rich flavours of the broth. The beef itself was meh - kind of hard to chew and a little bit bland (kinda felt like the broth gave the beef flavour rather than the other way around). So, a decent meal? Not bad by any means, but also not really anything worth coming again for, I think. Price point was also relatively high ($18 just for the noodle soup?), which I don't think was worth it for either the portion size or the quality of food. Looking through the menu and at other tables' dishes, too, it didn't seem like anything was particular a standout or worth trying in the future; not sure that I will be back again.

One of the most affordable Sichuan restaurants in the Chelsea area. My gf and I came in for lunch on a Saturday and we feasted. We ordered the following: Soup Dumpling ($9) - Not as "soupy" as I would have liked. For sure doesn't compare to the Joe Shanghai's, but tastes great. Snow Pea Sprouts w Soy Sauce ($12) - My go to veggie dish and I would recommend it here as well. Signature Prawn Noodle w Garlic Butter ($18) - Presentation is nice, but you'd want to stir the plate up to really get a good tasting experience. It's on the oily side, but that's because I chose garlic butter, so expected. Would like to try the spicy option on the next visit. Golden Pickle Fish ($25) - Massive. Could feed three people alone. Spicy-wise, not too spicy, but heavy on the "pickled" taste. Brown Sugar Boba Tea ($6.50) - Great refreshing drink to have to cool down your mouth after taking several spicy bites.

I thought I was walking into a college cafeteria and didn't know what to expect. At first, I was aghast about the lack of vegetarian options. Then, I had tea and realized I could make the menu work. So I had vegetarian rice with extra tofu. It was actually good. Service was decent and the place is centrally located.

Yummy! I love these noodles. I can't handle spice so I got mild spicy. The noodles are soft and chewy. The beef is tender and yummy. The soup is perfect for the cold winter. And wow since 1968! Love this.

Solid place in Chelsea for fresh noodles. I originally thought they were hand pulled but they use a machine to make them... can't beat the freshness though. I got a special of Roasted Duck Noodles for $14. Totally worth the price, tasty broth and duck. The service was good. The bus-person kept our waters refilled. The waiter was a bit stiff and didn't even want to offer recommendations but otherwise all was good!

Tangy Noodle sits amongst the best Chinese noodle places I've tried in NYC. Along with Very Fresh Noodles and Spicy Village, its noodles are perfect and memorable. In contrast to those other noodle shops, its service was terrific and attentive. We opted for the chili wontons to start, as well as the signature Tangy noodles and signature prawn noodles. The wontons were some of the best I've had in a while. They had an appropriately thin skin, generous filling to skin ratio, and delicious chili oil. Both noodle dishes were excellent. The former had slightly thicker noodles, and was topped with a perfect chashu pork, slightly sweet and salty but oh-so tender in texture. The minced pork and hard-boiled egg were wonderful accompaniments. In response to our desire for something spicier, our waiter was spot-on in suggesting the signature prawn noodles. Each prawn was resplendent, tender yet meaty--rarely have I had prawns that were cooked just right, not overdone. And the wavy noodles were also QQ--chewy, al dente, and not overcooked. I did notice that the kitchen staff uses a fancy machine to make the noodles. They never advertised their noodles as "hand-pulled," so I can't fault them for using technology, especially when the noodle consistency comes out just right. The service was unbelievable--they brought my daughter a plastic cup and straw and a special plate, recognizing immediately the needs of a toddler. They were attentive in refilling our water many times and very kind and helpful with their suggestions. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would welcome a return.

~ Prawn Noodle w/ spicy sauce ~ The noodle have a nice springy texture to it and very consistent. The spicy sauce is not really spicy (at least to me since I have a really high tolerance to spicy), nor numbing (麻). Still, the chilli oil adds a really nice flavour to the soy sauce mixture, and it's not too salty. The prawns are nicely seared/fried, and have a bouncy texture. It's a regular good old simple noodle dish (like I can probably cook this at home easily, with all the ingredients I got), tasted good but nothing particularly exceptional or bad. Will I be back? Maybe It doesn't wow me enough to come back for more, but I'm interested to try other dishes. If I'm in the neighbourhood and craving for Chinese noodles, this is a good place to get one.

Neither Lee nor I liked our dishes...the spice was incredibly odd, I am guessing it was Chinese 5 spice ? Almost painful to eat. The dish itself was fine, shrimps of good quality. Good service, nice & clean...I would not return.

To be quite honest, for this neighborhood, this restaurant is decently priced! I've only ordered take out from here, and I got the Beef Noodle Soup. It's pretty darn good! The beef is succulent, the noodles are thick, the broth is HOT--what more could you ask for? The service is pretty quick, like 10 minutes, tops for the wait. I do wish more people dined in (the couple of times I've gone it wasn't full during lunch time), however, that just means that if you're in the West Village and are looking for a great place to eat, you'll never have to wait! Cailin's Recommendation - Beef Noodle Soup ($18): Braised Beef Noodle Soup with Shanghai bok choy, half egg, and house made fresh thick noodles.

We were at the meatpacking district initially in search of some great ramen but accidentally bumped into this place. This is right next to the Xian noodles. We ordered the spicy wontons, spicy schezuan steamed fish, the pan fried dumplings and the spicy chilli chicken with side orders of rice. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The dumplings are literally made to order and they usually take the longest to arrive we heard. The food was 10/10, the staff was very attentive and the ambience was casual and warm. Their take out packaging is on point too! I will definitely be returning to try the rest of the things on their menu, especially the mouth-watering spicy chicken!

I just had lunch from Tangy Noodle via Grubhub. I ordered the shrimp noodles with Mala spice and pan fried pork dumplings. Everything was delicious and packaged well - really love the cute, insulated bags they send for deliveries. The noodles had plenty of big, juicy shrimp and I really loved the heat. The dumplings were also tasty. I can't wait to try more dishes from this restaurant. Highly recommend. Perfect for a cold day to warm you up.

this was my second time here because i could not get over how garlic-y and good their garlic butter noodles were!! sooo good this restaurant is heavily inspired by, and carries on the legacy of shorty tang, a taiwanese chef who introduced szechuan cuisine to NYC's chinatown. he's famous for inventing cold sesame noodles! mostly everything was under $20 here so my party went wild and got the whole spread what we ordered (* = my faves): -drinks: passionfruit capirinha, sparkling sunrise*, brown sugar bubble tea -garlic butter prawn noodles* -red chili mouthwatering chicke* -golden pickle fish broth -beef, tripe, and tendon noodle soup -garlic & chicken broth pea shoots -dandan noodles* -steamed lotus wrap pork ribs with sticky rice -homemade wonton with chili sauce* -desserts: mini sesame dumplings, brown sugar rice cakes i love how all of their noodles are made fresh daily in-house. so fresh and super yummy! the garlic butter sauce is 1000/10 if you're a fan of creamy and heavy garlic flavor, and the prawns were quite juicy and tasty as well! the dandan noodles flavor was so good, it was JUST spicy enough to make me suffer but we all gotta work for good things right? and their mouthwatering chicken has kind of been the first time i've liked this dish LMAO... made me a beginner fan of the mala flavors and spices

Had such a great meal here! Make sure you follow them on Instagram to see all of their upcoming promotions. They will be having a Thanksgiving giveaway, a Christmas promotion, NYU student discounts, and birthday discounts, so keep your eyes open! Here's what we had: ~Mangoes& Cream- mango pulp, non-dairy creamer, mango jelly, dried mango slice. This was such a yummy drink! It was nice and creamy and had great textures from the mango jelly. I can't wait to have it again! ~ Passion Capirinha-Passion fruit pulp, sugar cane syrup, aloe vera, fresh squeezed lime ~ Red Chili Mouth Watering Chicken- This is a very popular appetizer here with a flavorful and spicy sauce. ~Homemade wonton with chili sauce- Classic dish! ~Beef noodle- A very tasty soup with delightful noodles. ~ Szechuan Marble Beef with Vine Peppercorn- This is not for the faint of heart! It's super spicy, so if you love spicy, this one is for you! ~Prawn Noodle- succulent prawns, red cabbage, string beans, and mushroom. We got a mala spicy one and a garlic butter one. This dish was absolutely delicious! The noodles soaked up the yummy sauce and the veggies added great texture. I can see why this is one of their signature dishes because the garlic butter prawn noodle was my fave dish of the night! ~Ice Jelly with brown sugar ~Mini sesame dumplings with sweet rice wine

Got takeout from this place on a Wednesday night. Food was cold but noodles reheated well. Note when ordering online, beef noodle soup comes in two versions - a mixed dry noodle and a noodle soup, listed as "mix" and "soup" respectively. Also tried their signature noodle Everything was really spicy and oily, didn't realize it since I ordered online. It was just fine IMO

My family and I came on a Friday night. They don't take reservations, but luckily we came early and immediately got seated. The place is decently sized, about 10 tables. It's a casual place, with menu options. From the name, we obviously ordered some noodle dishes - - Dan Dan Noodles - honestly my favorite dan dan noodles in all of NYC. The portion is not too big (it's an appetizer), but so satisfying. We ordered one at first, but needed to put in another order - Prawn Noodles - the texture of the noodles were perfect, the taste is great and the prawns were large and fresh. I would love to order another iteration of the dried noodles next time I come We ordered several other items to share. We wanted some variety but regret not ordering more noodles. - Mapo Tofu - was a too thick for my liking - Spicy Wontons - there were minimal filling, and besides the hot oil, I didn't taste much - Pineapple Fried Rice - nothing special - Beef, Tendon, Tripe w/ Chili Sauce - also lacking in flavor - Mouth Watering Chicken - this was really good! The chicken wasn't dry and the sauce was tasty - Stir-Fried Chicken w/ Fresh Peppers - a very basic stir fry Overall, I think if you stick to the noodles dishes, it's the place to go! As for the other Szechuan dishes, you can go somewhere else. The servers there were very accommodating though! Super nice and comped our desserts.

We walked in for takeout. Horrible experience from beginning to end. They must've needed to go upstate to pick up ingredients on the farm because 35 min later (after finally asking), we got our food. All while the hostess stood there in their phone. The restaurant was just shy of half full. Guessing they don't staff up for the big delivery business I saw happening. Then we decided to eat the food. Bleh. The fried pork dumplings come with a small packet of soy sauce. The taste of the chicken with peppers - a weird spice that tasted like a floral air freshener. The pork bowl came bone dry. Sure didn't look like the pictures. All this mediocre comes in a beautiful bag. They need to think about cutting costs there so you don't have to pay for extra for rice. This was a one and done for us.

Service was fantastic. Food came out quickly. This is a nice place to grab a meal alone or with others. It felt clean and the air was pretty good inside. 3/5 Cold sesame noodles - it was quite saucy and had a good portion of noodles. It was all noodle with some toppings. Definitely left me wanting for a little more. 5/5 Chili wontons - i get this everywhere i see it. These were good here. Definitely had the peppercorn burn and the sauce was yummy. I dipped the sesame noodles in this. It was okay - combo did not quite work together. Decent spot and a good dining experience but don't think I'd return. Far too many places to try in the city.

The food here was great and pretty authentic. Highly recommend the Wonton with Chili as the sauce was so good and I definitely could've finished two by myself. The beef noodles were also good, but a bit lacking on the veggies side. Service was great and very attentive.

When you think of amazing Chinese Sichuan Food in NYC, Chinatown, Flushing or someplace in Queens probably come to mind for most people. However, my current favorite Sichuan spot is located in none other than Chelsea. @tangynoodlenyc has been popping up around my IG recently! They generously invited me to come by their restaurant to try the incredibly well curated menu that they have put together. Walking by Tangy Noodle, you may not expect the best Chinese food you've had as its in a rather busy part of NYC and not where I go for good Asian food. I'm elated that I came by! What we ordered: Drinks: - Minty Lychee $8 Appetizer - Homemade wonton w/ chili sauce $8 - Beef w/ scallion & chili sauce $10 - Steamed Pork Belly Bun $6 Entree: - Pineapple Seafood Fried Rice $18 - Tangy Special Noodle $18 - Stir Fry Chicken w/ fresh peppers $16 The food just straight up blew my mind! Let's start by saying that this chili oil and Sichuan spice is probably one of, if not the best that I've ever had. I'm not sure how to give it the credit it deserves other than it was an incredibly clean, healthy feeling, fragrant chili oil that complemented each dish it was in to perfection! I can't do incredibly spicy foods these days but this spice was so good and tasty that I didn't care and kept eating. All of the food was delicious and it didn't make you feel gross afterwards. The clear winners were all of the dishes that had the chili oil in there. The beef was super tender, the wontons were so juicy and the noodles were the perfect amount of QQ (aka bounciness or chewiness). Overall, this currently stands as my favorite Sichuan restaurant in NYC and yes, I'd make the trek to Chelsea for it whenever I'm craving good Sichuan food! I'll be trying the Sichuan Boiled Fish next time I go back as I was too scared of mala spice this time. They are also highlighting a new item, the Prawn Spicy and Garlic Butter Noodle, that I need to order too! Rating: 9.0/10

I was more impressed with this place than I thought I would be. This restaurant is not just another noodle shop... they really know how to make sauces and toppings that go well with the chewy noodles. We ordered the seafood noodles (prawns, scallops, mussels, calamari rings, and vegetables) and the signature tangy noodles. For the seafood noodles, you could choose whether you wanted garlic butter sauce or mala/spicy sauce. We chose the garlic butter which honestly tasted more like something from an Italian restaurant but it was still pretty good, not too heavy on either the garlic or the butter. The signature noodles came with the spicy sauce which was really delicious! It was also topped with minced pork, chashu, and vegetables. The portions were on the bigger side so we left feeling full and even had a little bit to take home. As for ambiance, it's a modern small-medium restaurant, but you can definitely bring groups there. The service was also pretty attentive.

I've eaten here a few times now, mostly the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup and the braised short rib noodle soup. I really love the broths, though one time, it got quite a bit too salty for me. Noodles were a good texture, and meat was pretty good. A nice, clean, somewhat-upscale place. Staff seemed somewhat inexperienced at times, but no mistakes and they got the job done. Overall, a lovely place in the neighborhood for soupy noodles! Bathrooms: Only one, but very clean, functional, and spacious.

Decided to try out this place before hitting the museum. At first I was going to order a course shrimp meal but I second guessed myself and decided to get an appetizer first. Shrimp spring rolls .. And BOY I'm glad it was just that because it was disgusting . Shrimp definitely cleaned . And idk what type of spring rolls were these. And let's not get started with the bubble tea, which was completely just powder and water with over soaked tapioca balls. Also i cant forget the image of a cook walking buy with a chicken in her hand going from the basement to the kitchen Scared me so bad that I don't want to try any Chinese restaurant again

I heard heard rave reviews about this place but decided that yesterday was the day I'd finally give it a shot. It was cold, and windy, and I knew that some good soup with noodles would do the trick. Well, let me tell you what: when I walked in there was a nice ambiance, and friendly buzz. It was clean, with pops of colors but also very calming. Once I started to look at the giant photos of the food on the LCD, I started to lose track of what I came in for! Richard, the pleasant manager at the desk, asked me what I preferred the regular or spicy, and when I said spicy, he recommended to add some heat, so that I did with the spicy noodles with prawns (6 generous sized shrimp with nice cabbage, bean sprouts, and scallion in a good brown sauce. I also got the veggie lo-mein (not spicy for my not so adventurous friend), which came with ample broccolini which had a nice crunch, and the piece de resistance: spicy pork noodles, that had the thick, handmade noodles on a bed of chili oil with BOTH minced pork (dan-dan style), and a generous slice of pork shoulder with carrots, and red cabbage, scallions, and I think some nuts to top off the crunch factor! Veggie spring rolls were very nice (not too greasy), and as my friend pointed out, not stringy cabbage but actual big pieces! Filling with 4 a serving, and a dipping sauce which I didn't use but I was told it was nice (looked like Russian dressing). The beef broth and wide noodle soup was the winner of it all - with a separate layer to separate the broth from the general portion of beef and veggies and noodles so as not to get soggy, the servings are generous, and the To-Go red metallic style Tupperware bowls and dishes will last you awhile. I highly recommend the Tangy Noodle experience (even the To-Go orange insulated bag is a keeper!! The prices are a bit more than the average Chinese but this is definitely a step above!!

The half lobster noodle is a must try!!! Great service! Reasonable price! My friend told me their wontons in chili oil is tasty too! I'll come back and would like to try more next time.

Eager to have a comforting noodle dish, I was underwhelmed by the Signature Tangy Noodle. The noodles could have been exceptional, however the sauce was unbearably salty and oily. If this is purposeful and authentic, Just perhaps not to my liking

For a place I dropped by last minute to satisfy my cravings, I was pleasantly surprised. There was very fast service, food came out at an appropriate time, and the food portion and taste was very good for the price. It is definitely a more casual place and I saw lots of people doing take out orders. I absolutely loved the spicy cucumbers!! They seasoned it differently from other restaurants that I tried this dish from, with some buffalo sauce like thickness and flavor, but it was very refreshing and addictive. Must try!!

Stumbled across this restaurant and found out they were actually there before pandemic. I think my favorites have to the be the cold sesame noodles (perfect amount of spicy and creamy all at once), the signature noodles are a must! The pork is tasty and tender and the noodles have a great bite to them. Goes very well with the sauce. Savory with a bit of spice, nothing crazy. The wontons are a great appetizer to start the meal. All in all this was a great find in the neighborhood. The restaurant vibe is nice and the staff is super attentive. I would definitely come back and check out more of the items in the menu.

Found Tangy Noodle on Yelp and marked it as a must-try in NYC. So when I was in NY last week, Tangy was my first stop! We had their popular Prawn Noodles (but I got it with scallops only.. yummm!) and Beef Tendon noodles. Both were delicious! Service was ok... not bad but not great either. Cute restaurant but nothing really to write home about. I wld return but it wld not be a must.

Damn these noodles are tangy! Ordered the Signature Noodle which is a flat noodle topped with minced pork, spicy chili umami oil, and shredded carrots, cabbage, and cucumbers. It also includes a half of a story sauce, hard, boiled egg, and a slice of pork. The taste is impeccably delicious and authentically savory. A very filling meal and I could not finish it. Also ordered a side of fried pork chop that is perfect crispy and served with a spicy mayo aoili. Also ordered the prawn fried rice that was delicious, fresh and flavorful. Could rival and 5 star Chinese restaurant. The service is very attentive and the server did a great job of guiding us through the menu. Highly recommend. NY is not a place for mediocrity in terms of food. A restaurant has gotta serve it at 100% or you won't survive.

Really nice spot for Chinese noodles! My friend and I got a mimosa and the Minty Lychee with a cucumber salad to start. The minty lychee in particular was so good, and the cucumber salad sauce was absolutely delicious. I got the signature tangy noodle, which was yummy and kind of spicy. The noodles were a bit over cooked, but the toppings added some texture and crunch. All in all, we enjoyed the noodle dishes - definitely want to get some of their chili oil sauce!

Great service and super duper friendly. We love getting to try the different dishes Tangy Noodle offers. We loved how nice and friendly the stuff was to our son and modified spice to make his meal super enjoyable.

Super tasty food, the service was ok (they messed up one of my orders & gave it to the guy next to me) which is fine because I would've been super full anyway lol, the ambiance is cute needs a lil more space but it works.
