"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
"Welcome to Chinatown, a local neighborhood activist group that also designs and sells merch for small businesses, created a line of t-shirts and mugs for Chinatown rice roll spot Tonii’s Fresh Rice Noodle.

"Curry fish-ball rice rolls from Tonii's with all the sauces—peanut sauce, hoisin, soy, hot sauce—then a pre-rolled rice roll with pork and scallions from Ho Won Bake (146 Hester St.) and an egg tart from Kamboat Bakery (111 Bowery) on the walk over." - Calvin Eng
"Others say that customers didn’t need any reminders to keep their masks on. Elizabeth Yee, the owner of Tonii’s Fresh Rice Noodle in Manhattan’s Chinatown, said that she didn’t have any issues with enforcing mask policies or social distancing over the weekend." - Erika Adams
"A newer Chinatown noodle shop that expanded into delivery and has seen order volumes increase during the pandemic. The operation participates in a community initiative to donate meals to frontline hospital workers and has benefited from being one of the few businesses left open on its block, serving regulars including elderly residents who rely on the restaurant for meals." - Jenny G.
