Noodles in Brooklyn, NY

“What a nice place this is in the 86th Street section of Bay Parkway!

The food portion is just right for me to finish their Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup with no problem. Their set meals as they advertised on the menu was pretty interesting. Basically, one of the sets comes with a noodle soup of your choice, an appetizer, and a drink. There are also other sets that are different.

I would definitely come back again if I was to.“

“I discovered this restaurant and it's amazing,the food was incredible,and I'm so happy that my fellow countrymen opened this place.It's wonderful to see their hard work and Kyrgyz traditions and our food being celebrated“

“The BEST Thai I’ve had in New York. I had an issue with a pickup order recently, & I reached out to them on instagram. Their customer service went above & beyond to make it right. Food is so good, & love that you can customize the pad thai to exclude egg.“

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

“We loved our meal at Wenwen! Food was delicious and our waitress could not have been nicer. After I mentioned that it was my brother's birthday hoping they could put a small candle on the dessert, she presented a beautiful dessert with a candle and comped it! I was not expecting that and really appreciated it. Highly recommend and look forward to returning soon!“

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

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Easily the best Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. Beautiful space, great food (get the whole steamed fish) and excellent service—friendly, helpful and relaxed. The place is busy but we never felt rushed. And for the quality and quantity of food it’s a great value. Will definitely be back.“

“Absolutely delicious Lanzhou-style beef noodle soup! The hand-pulled noodles are fresh and perfectly chewy, the broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is tender and well-seasoned.
The scallion pancakes are a must-try — crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with great flavor.

Good portion sizes, everything is served hot and fresh. Highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We were looking for authentic, delicious, and fairly priced platters for our Chinese New Year celebration and found A-Pou. A-Pou not only helped us put together the menu, but she included extra special goodies like sesame balls / egg rolls / fortune cookies. Even though Sunday was her day off, she still prepared and delivered the platters to our apartment which was so appreciated. All of our guests RAVED about the food (especially the potstickers, basil chicken, and lo mein).

A-Pou was also amazing to work with from beginning to end - she’s just the sweetest lady. Highly encourage paying her restaurant a visit and calling her if you have catering needs!“

“I got takeout the other night—braised beef & noods, eastern cukes, congee and the cabbage special. I have no words. Well, I guess I do—happy dance mouth explosions. The cukes even got better as a pickled snack the next day. The staff was kind and fun, and I had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who deserves 5 stars as a human. Anyone who skips this place while in Dumbo should reconsider their life choices.“

“I arrived during the slower afternoon period. Their dishes impressed me more than I anticipated. Gorkhali - Brooklyn created moments that felt like culinary sorcery! Employees provided steady, superior attention. The quality corresponds to the price.“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“Loved everything ordered here! The Pad Krapow Pork was super flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and the Thai Tea Pad Thai was such a fun twist — rich, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced. The Leaf Pudding was light, fragrant, and a really unique way to end the meal. Cozy vibe and great Thai comfort food.“

“The tomato base noodles might be some of my favorite yet. I couldn’t even wait for it to cool a little before eating. I will say the plum juice wasn’t the best but the passionfruit sparkling drink paired very well with our meal. The atmosphere is pretty good for catching up with friends and grabbing a quick bite.“

“Food is excellent! Service is great.“

“Some of the best ramen we've ever had. Wish we could have tried them all!! Fantastic.“

“I came to Em Vietnamese Bistro on a whim, craving something warm and comforting on a cold, snowy day, and I am so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting and calm. The space is relaxed and spacious, with beautifully lit lighting that creates a cozy, welcoming vibe. It is the perfect place to enjoy a hot bowl of soup.
I ordered the Bún Bò Huế Đặc Biệt after our server, Mint, shared that it was her personal favorite. When I asked her to help me choose between the spring rolls and wings, she genuinely recommended the spring rolls, and I truly appreciated her honesty. Her warmth and attentiveness made the experience even better.
The food did not disappoint. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, with a generous variety of meats that added depth to every bite. The spring rolls were perfectly crispy and, just as promised, absolutely delicious.
Overall, Em Vietnamese Bistro was a wonderful experience, from the ambiance to the service to the food itself. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comforting, high quality Vietnamese food.“

“This spot isn't in guidebooks yet. Employees are remarkably kind and accommodating, serving food rapidly. They serve excellent food at fair rates. The food quality showed in our completely empty plates. This spot provides a good environment.“

“Esta delicioso la comida ramen“

“The food was good. Cash or Zelle only. Small establishment. Tried eating at their
outside table but a Chinese guy (next door) decided it was his smoke break, was smoking and it was disgusting he had no consideration for someone else dining experience, I had to leave early.“

“My experience was beyond amazing! The food was delicious - came out in great timing and the flavor was on point. Service was very warm and inviting. The overall look of the restaurant is so modern and unique. I loved the entire experience and looking forward to visit again.“

“After I tried Maxi’s, quite a few people recommended Superior Wonton Noodle, so I decided to check it out—especially since it’s right in my neighborhood.

Are their wontons really better than Maxi’s?

Quick verdict: their shrimp wontons are truly SUPERIOR, closely on par with Maxi’s. I even brought home a dozen frozen ones. However, both the beef brisket and flat rice noodles were underwhelming.

However, I still prefer Maxi’s for overall quality, but Superior is more affordable. I’d recommend it if you’re in the area. (86 St is my all-time favorite area for authentic Hong Kong food)

＊Wonton and Beef Brisket Rice Noodle $11
I ordered the same thing I got at Maxi’s, and it was a few dollars cheaper here, mainly because you don’t have to pay extra for the beef brisket.

The wonton was about the size of a ping pong, generously stuffed with shrimp and pork filling. The shrimp was bouncy, while the wonton skin was not too thick.

Unfortunately, the beef brisket was quite tough, so I didn’t finish it. I’ll probably try the beef tendon next time…

The flat rice noodles were a letdown—they were so soggy and mushy that I had to use a spoon to scoop them up. Meanwhile, my boyfriend got the thick egg noodles, and they looked much better with a springy texture.“

“Food is amazing every time“

“Stopped by Savory Thai right after voting, and we are so glad we did! This local spot is fantastic. The service was friendly and great, the prices are excellent, and the portions are huge.
Most importantly, the food is incredibly good and truly authentic Thai. The Drunken Noodle had the perfect amount of spiciness, and the calamari was super crispy and wonderfully fresh. Everything we ordered was excellent. Don't forget to wash it all down with a delicious Thai Iced Tea! Highly recommend giving them a try.“

“Amazing food for the price. The lunch special was 11.95 and it comes with 2 sides. I got the green curry (chicken), tofu soup and vegetable spring roll. Spring roll was your usual the but the tofu soup was great and very flavor. The green was curry was INCREDIBLE. Full of flavor with a hint of spice. The chicken was nice and soft. Very filling and absolutely worth the visit.“

“the food is superb“

“Delicious ramen but a little overpriced. You only get one choice of broth which is pork, but can customize the spice level and your toppings. The ramen was good but for the price I was hoping the portion size would be a bit bigger. Sitting at the private booths was also a really nice and unique experience, I highly recommend.“

“Love the vibe here with the old Thai movie posters and products from Thailand visible on the shelves. Bangkok BAR does the classics well and the staff are mostly from Thailand so they grew up with the items on the menu. Love the beef larb and crying tiger.“

“I always have a great experience at thanks to Kaung! They are ALWAYS so friendly, attentive, and make the whole meal feel extra special. You can tell they really care about their customers and take pride in their work. The food was amazing, but Kaung's service honestly makes it even better.“

“It was only one other party there when I arrived so I was able to order relatively quickly. I ordered the Za Jiang Noodle and the Spicy Wonton in Red Chili. I loved the wontons. Those were my favorite. I asked the guy behind the register what was his favorite between the marinated fried chicken and the wontons. He mentioned the wontons. They were really flavorful and had a nice spice to it. The texture was good and everything I had tasted fresh. The noodles were separate from the toppings since I was having it to go. I did end up with leftovers and day two of the noodles kind of reminded me of a spaghetti with minced meat texture. the food was delicious.“

“The sweet pork Mo was really good and definitely so was the pork belly bun. Really liked it. Tried some other stuff too but no pictures. It was more food than expected too so I was pretty happy. Also had the Thai bubble it it was good, not sweet but not bitter“

“I just ordered a smoked Brisket Pho, the Brisket was well cooked, the Broth was savory. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“The food delivers exactly what you hope for. Beginning with service, employees here set high standards. The energy makes you smile. I'm impressed by the value, portion sizes, food quality, and service standards. This restaurant enhances our local options.“

“Absolutely STELLAR experience here- their mala dry pot is VERY SPICY!!! They have a wide selection of food at a decent price and the vibe is lowkey yet modern and classy. Staff is great and service is efficient. We got the dry pot, crab and pork soup dumplings, and mushroom noodle soup. The dry pot is highly recommended- mix and match ingredients and pick a spice level. DELICIOUS!“

“This is a hyper local spot for me and a super frequent lunch/ dinner. Is the pho at 5ive spice, also hyper local, perhaps a tad better? Yes. Why, then do I choose Pho Bar the majority of the time?

1) The portions at pho bar are more reasonable and leave you sated, not roly polying home. There are options to mix and match items/ portions. The lunch special is very good and a great price.
2) The vibes- everybody is having fun at pho bar. Lots of friends but also couples and solo eaters at the bar; I don’t think anybody is having a bad time. I’m not sure why that is. It might be the amount of love and effort given to the decor, which is always cute, always seasonal and homey. It’s colorful and well maintained, inviting.
3) While both spots are cash only, which can be a nuisance (though I get it), pho bar has an atm within. I’m more drawn to this spot because I don’t have to leave the restaurant to get cash.

I think that sums it up. Thank you Pho Bar- please never leave!“

“This it's not a fancy place, but it makes my stomach happy. They are also super fast, so it's great when you're extra hungry. Little to no wait for the food. However, do expect to be seated with others if you're visiting as a small group. I personally think that the workers are friendly, but maybe that's because I eat there enough for them to know me by my face. I'm craving another bowl of their rice noodles as I'm typing the review. Yum.“

“i ordered the braised beef noodle, delishhhhhhhhhhhh. the noodles are soft yet flavorful, the broth well seasoned & arrived warm, & the beef was just the right amount of oomph to have me dancing with every bite! i’ll be back to try more, for sure!“

“Spicy 🔥🌶️

Xi’an Famous Foods at 648 Manhattan Ave is a Greenpoint must-visit for authentic Western Chinese cuisine. Famous for hand-pulled noodles and spicy cumin lamb burgers, this fast-casual gem delivers bold, fiery flavors at affordable prices. The spicy lamb noodles and sour lamb dumplings pack a thrilling ma la kick, while the spicy cucumber salad offers a zesty side. Highly recommend this Greenpoint hotspot for fresh, spicy, and delicious Chinese food!“

“I’ve been going here for around 3 or 4 years and the food is amazing I love their original crossing bridge noodle soup and their salty chicken. As someone with autism They are one of my safe foods for me, and right across from them is another store I like to go to after I eat! This restaurant is amazing and I think it’s a hidden gem in Brooklyn“

“Great neighborhood thai restaurant. The salmon was a bit expensive. Vree. Curry is $16. With pork it is an additional $3. When th salmon an additional $8. And it was a bit burnt to be honest. And the green curry was not green. It was white. The restaurant itself is very Brooklyn. It has cool antique elements to it. The waiter was handsome and attentive.“

“Great vibe all around. A bar playing Scorsese’s ‘After Hours’ is high on my list. Terrific sandwiches.“

“This is my favorite spot in NYC. The A1 (Liang Pi Cold Skin Noodles), Cucumber Salad, and Stew Pork Burger, are my favorite but you can't really go wrong no matter what you get.

My only gripe is the gentrification of the music! They used to play old school rap and hip hop (with funny signs about how if you don't like it you can leave), and now it's weird girly pop and EDM. Every like 7 or 8 songs you're lucky if you hear some current rap but it's not the same. Bring it back!“

“I just ordered a smoked Brisket Pho, the Brisket was well cooked, the Broth was savory. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“Excellent service and delicious food. I had the vegi fried rice and Peppers with beef.“

“👍👍👍今天吃了，牛腩王，炸油条，云吞面，全部都很棒。很合我们夫妇的味道👏👏👏“

“Located inside Kings Plaza on the second floor, this is a good spot for some relatively inexpensive and okay chinese food/takeout. They have a self-service buffet in a overload-your-plate-one-time style. We ordered the kungpao chicken with rice, and stir fried noodles with a can of coke to share. They did not have diet coke, only regular. Portions were big for our appetites, we ended up bringing ⅔rds of the noodles back home with us.“

“this place is reliable for pad Thai, good portions, taste & not dry. I will say the pineapple fried rice is a bit spicy which I didn’t like. They could also leave out baby tomatoes and green beens in the vegetable option to add… nobody wants those in their Thai food. Otherwise a good choice for takeout“

“Really delicious food. Tasted like what I ate at home, just like my parents made it. Ordered curry fish ball rice rolls. Beef brisket and noodles was tender and flavorful. Congee was seasoned perfectly and had a good consistency. The owner, Mrs Ho, was attentive.“
