Noodles near North Arlington, NJ

“The food is always fresh and hot 🥵“

“I was absolutely starving and this place saved me! The prices are very affordable and the portions match those prices. I got a medium fish ball rice roll bowl (oyster sauce flavor). I got all the sauces on it, per recommendation of the cashier.
Spicy, sweet, and savory all at once. I’m usually not a fan of fish balls but these swayed me.

As a native New Yorker I am weary of viral restaurants but this one is WORTH THE HYPE. I forgot to take a before picture but I definitely have the after! Delicious.“

“The best homemade udon in town , strongly recommended“

“Good foods n good service 🥰 I love there so much 🇺🇸 ขอบคุณครับ“

“The food is awe inspiring.“

“Amazing food and drinks!🥤“

“Great dinner, great setting, excellent service 👌“

“terrific service and food! the Sake Mojito was fantastic!“

“We throughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. There were 7 of us and they were so nice to accommodate us. We had 3 different appetizers 3 different ramens and 2 different rice bowls. Everyone loved everything. Highly recommend!“

“Em Vietnamese Bistro has been on my list for a while, so I finally got to check it out! At first, the interior looks like you are walking into an office, not a restaurant; I had to do a double-take to make sure I walked in the correct door. I made a reservation for 6:30pm on a Friday, but the restaurant wasn't full at any point. Since the space is small, you are seated close to other people at peak dining hours.

My friend and I both got the Bun Thit Nuong ($17) and we shared a Cha Gio ($11). The spring rolls left a lot to be desired, both presentation-wise and taste-wise. For presentation, the rolls would benefit from a smaller plate with a more curated selection of vegetables. The huge romaine inundates the dish, and we didn't end up eating it, so it just seems like a waste. Flavor-wise, the rolls were on the plain side, which do not justify the price. After that appetizer, I was pleasantly surprised by the entree. The pork was cooked and flavored well, and I gorged myself. Everything tasted fresh and refreshing! I also think for the portion size and the area, the price is worth it.

Service was good in the sense that they did not rush us, but we had to ask for everything, from getting someone to take our order to asking for the check. The Bun Thit Nuong was the highlight, and I would eat it again if I was in the area!“

“Excellent and authentic Yunnan rice noodles. I’ve traveled to Yunnan several times and never expected I’d find a restaurant in NYC dedicated to Yunnanese cuisine. Definitely a must if you’re interested in exploring overlooked Chinese cuisines.“

“Really yummy polo BBQ pork buns at pretty decent prices!! Easily one of the best I’ve ever had, with that beautifully sweet, crispy topping and soft, fluffy bun.

But damnnn, the pork filling was practically 90% fat…. Definitely the fattiest BBQ pork bun I’ve ever eaten, which was a bit disappointing considering how good everything else was.

Still worth trying, but I do wish there was a better balance of meat and fat!“

“Had a great experience at Ichiran Ramen in New York! 🍜 The ramen was incredibly tasty, flavorful, and satisfying. I chose spice level 7 this time, and it was perfect for me—but definitely planning to try level 10 on my next visit! 🌶

I also really enjoyed the unique experience. They prepare the ramen fresh after you take your seat, and then serve it through the little shutter right in front of you. It makes the whole experience feel different and special.

Definitely a must-try for ramen lovers. Can’t wait to visit again!“

“The atmosphere is extremely warm and welcoming , it’s a really nice place to come to when the weather is cool. The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is also really delicious, me and my boyfriend had the ramen and we both really enjoyed it. 10/10 will definitely be coming back.“

“Was pretty excited to see this place right next to my hotel. Ate twice before I left back home. 🍜 ramen was amazing“

“Really enjoy this place. Food comes out fast, and it's always fresh and spicy, if you like a kick, this is a solid spot for it.

Only gripe: white rice costs extra. Come on, it's rice! Docking one point for that alone.

4/5 stars, would still recommend.“

“If you craving for traditional south western Chinese food, this is the right place to be in. I didn’t order rice noodles this time but the beef dishes make me feel so satisfied. The service is excellent as well, definitely a good place for ppl around here to stop by for a decent meal.“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“Fresh and homemade Chinese food. An amazing cheff, cooking with passion and love. Highly recommended 💯“

“This is now my favorite Filipino restaurant. So far everything is GOOD.“

“Nice little restaurant just off of Grand Street. Very cozy interior, lots of wood.
I ordered ahead and they had it ready for me a few minutes ahead of the indicated pickup time, which was a nice little bonus I didn't expect.
I got the sausage jian bing, and was a little confused at first because it looked kind of small... but it turns out that they cut the jian bing in half and put each half in a separate baggie! Therefore, the portion was perfectly adequate, at a very reasonable price, and the flavor was exquisite. Savory, just a tiny bit sweet, and just delicious all around. Highly recommended; made a great lunch. Thanks so much!!“

“Great prices for delicious food. I see why Guy Fieri has come here three times. The noodles are perfectly imperfect and the flavors are spot on. The only questionable thing about the place is that the duck is served bone-in which brought down my wife's enjoyment of her dish“

“Yakisoba tastes almost the same in Tokyo street food!!!!! Love it!! okonimiyaki is also good! The chicken (karaage style) is also a must try. Another thing i like is they prepare the food fresh. Can’t wait to visit again. :)“

“Pork dumplings were sublime. I had beef curry udon and my daughter had the pork udon - both amazing! I had the Soju-Beer in a bag - very good, but don’t drive after! A jewel of Koreatown, Manhatten. Don’t miss it! So good!“

“Really enjoyed our dinner at RUA Thai. The food is beautifully presented, but more importantly, the flavors still feel bold and distinctly Thai rather than toned down for looks. The Shrimp Donuts were crisp outside with a generous, bouncy shrimp filling, and the Larb Wings had a great balance of lime, chili, herbs, and fish sauce. The Cream Tom Yum was rich but still kept the signature sour-spicy kick, while the Crab Curry was probably my favorite main — flavorful, aromatic, and perfect with rice. The Crying Tiger was also cooked very well, with a nice char and a bright Thai dipping sauce. We also tried the Chili & The Moon cocktail, which paired mezcal with mango in a really balanced way, smoky, fruity, and not overly sweet. Great atmosphere, thoughtful presentation, and food that actually delivers on flavor. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“Very good well done food.“

“The food is consistently delicious and is always fresh but the portions are small“

“Good service,great food.the best restaurant downtown.“

“Wow. Noodles were the absolute star.
The hand ripped noodles for the beef noodle was very chewy and thick and the beef was very tender and flavorful.
Mid spicy was a little spicy for the stir fried liang PI noodles for my taste.

Overall, very affordable, filling and yummy noodles!“

“Món nào cũng ngon , sẽ quay lại tiệm .“

“Yum yum went with my kids Cookie and Bill.Loved my vegetarian ramen soup.“

“Our waiter was awesome and very transparent! First time here and he made it the best! Didn’t get his name but he has black glasses. I wish All servers were this awesome.❤️“

“Not only was the food amazing, but they are the sweetest. A family member fell pretty badly on the street and walked in all messed up, a wonderful man who worked there came running over with their first aid kit the moment he saw what had happened. It’s rare in today’s day that people are so eager to help. Thank you Suram for being so sweet and for serving an amazing lunch! We’ll be back and if you are looking for a great meal and wonderful people, this is your spot!“

“It was a wonderful experience. I totally recommend visiting Caravan and, if possible, taking their cooking classes. The food is delicious, the owners are super friendly and the place is cozy. Will definitely come back when I’m in town.“

“Update 10/26: Still great. The portions are huge.

5/25: Great, old school Chinese restaurant. Enter the basement restaurant via the stairs. Cash only. Fast service. Excellent menu with reasonable prices. Everything we tried was delicious, including steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, duck with flat noodles, and Szechuan shrimp. Water and hot tea free. Soft drinks are available for purchase. No alcohol. ATM on-site.“

“You are lame if you post a bad review of this place without trying the whole menu. Because the spare rib soup with lo mein ($10.25) with an extra pork chop ($4.00) is one of the best cheap filling meals in NYC. (Be sure to douse the noodles in home-made hot sauce!)

And yes, the taro herbal jelly ($9.00) looks like a pile of strange stuff thrown together in black sludge … because that’s what it is! Admittedly, this is a funky dessert - so try the shaved ice variations instead.

Also, the place used to be called “Excellent Pork Chop House” - you can see where they changed their sign to “Taiwan”. So no, it’s not authentic. But damn good.

If you don’t know what to order, stick with fried chicken over rice ($8.75) and you’ll be fine.“

“Awesome place! As a parent with a toddler, the move is to get the noodle bowl with extra noodles for the kid. But most importantly, get that Crispy Lamb Chop which is healing my tired parent soul. Then go to the park across the street. Perfect weekend 👌“

“Great service. Excellent food.“

“Here’s picture of Peking Style Minced Pork Dried, Braised Shredded Beef Noodle Soup, Soup Dumplings, Pan fried Pork Dumplings snd Sour Plum Drink…Ooops Sooo Good It’s all gone before taking pix 😅😝😀“

“amazing food amazing staff“

“Fun, tasty, authentic and delicious.“

“This is a wonderful neighborhood asian cuisine! The food was delicious and they give you a healthy portion! The price is at a good price point. The location is great. Subway is a couple blocks away! Check out their dumplings and sticky rice cakes! Yummy! Definitely highly recommend them!!“

“I was helped by Rocky who was an exceptional employee. His service was awesome. It was my first time there and his service is why I would return. The food is really good but he made a point to explain things and make recommendations. Is it very attentive as well in the checkout process and educated me on what flavors go well together“

“Everything we had ordered were delicious. Pad Thai is one of the best. We kept coming back during our NY trip. Service was top notch. 100% recommended who's looking for Thai authentic food. You will be satisfied.“

“Always as expected. I usually come here after work when I don’t feel like cooking.“

“Came here for early breakfast. English or Chinese OK.

I like how casual it is, it's quick and comes out fresh. Not crowded when I went which is how I like it, reminds me of when I visit China when I can just walk in somewhere, order, eat and go.

Rice Noodles are very soft and chewy which is how I like it and sauces are on the table and complimentary.

I definitely think it needs more meat as a base option.“

“Omg this place is always so yummy! I got edamame and pad see U! Everyone who works here is so nice and Mona was so amazing she gave such good service and care to everyone I had to write a review! Wish all places had this great service. Can’t wait to come back!“

“That was the best food I ever ate in my entire life that was the best Chinese food I've ever eaten it was so freaking good!“

“Beef Noodle Soup (8.2/10): traditional, flavorful, noodles were the best part

Wontons in Chili Oil (7.5/10): sweet and savory. It's good but the sweetness surprised me.

Overall: good ingredients, traditional flavors and recipes, solid place would come back again. ALSO GOOD PRICES

Edit: so good I had to come back for more. Beef soup with pork ribs 8.7/10. The noodles are so firm and the broth is so hearty and warm. Got beef scallion pancakes and it had cucumbers and some beef in it wrapped in a flaky crust. 8.3/10. Amazing“

“My son is gluten-free. Excellent options delicious food very nice service!!“
