"Inside Chelsea Market, I found Very Fresh Noodles to be a recently reopened Chelsea Market hangout that showcases starchy, soupy traditions from Taiwan, Sichuan, Shaanxi (including fat Shaanxi-style biang biang), and elsewhere; service is adapted for the pandemic — you push a bell, a masked worker takes your order on an iPad, takeout containers are placed on a table for pickup, and you can either ferry your food home or use the outdoor seating — I chose the quick, park-bench-style option and appreciated the no-frills pay-find-a-table-eat-and-leave model similar to Wildair or MeMe’s." - Eater Staff
"Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup If more places named themselves after the quality of their noodles, it would be harder to make dinner plans, but overall we’d be cool with it. Especially since the Taiwanese beef noodle soup at this Chelsea Market spot is worth crossing the Hudson River on a Citi Bike for. The combination of tender beef chunks and chewy, flat noodles make this dish one of the best things you can eat in the area, and for less than $15, you’ll get more than enough noodle soup for one." - nikko duren
"According to owners Victor Huang and Peter Tondreau, Very Fresh Noodles at Chelsea Market didn’t sustain in-store damage, but they were anticipating service adjustments — including possibly suspending delivery — because some staffers couldn’t make it in due to home flooding and public-transit delays." - Erika Adams
"A popular Chelsea Market hand-pulled noodle destination, I report that co-owners Peter Tondreau and Victor Huang said they were aware of discrimination before reopening in June after a three-month pandemic pause, and that after reopening they had to confront it in person — including an incident in which a white man walked in and asked a white staffer, 'Do you sell Corona?,' which the owners say was excused as drunkenness but illustrates sustained harassment." - Tanay Warerkar
