Pouya: Spicy Cumin Lamb noodle is amazing. You can ask for less spicy or extra spicy if you want.
Christina Squitieri: Best place is NYC! Get the F4!!!
Sheena: Due to its proximity to Chelsea Market there are quite a few tourists who may need to be reminded of the policy that ensures peace and order- those who order first, sit first!

Elizabeth Burstein: Cumin spiced noodles again! Mild spice so good
Kathryn Phillips: Get the A1 or the N4. Can't go wrong.
Shrek Yin: Authentic Xi'an style, but the QC needs to be improved, the Roujiamo ie Chinese burger, what i bought yesterday was incredible but today pork inside is overlooked and a burning smell, unacceptable:(

Rock Raines: Good food and super friendly service. Loved: Dim Sum, noodles, wok dishes
Ryan Matzner: Get the Donnie Yen’s Kick cocktail
Luke: Mock eel here is better than real eel pretty much anywhere. The veggies and noodles are all worth a spin, but the dumplings are... somehow dauntingly huge. Tasty, just large.

Jennifer Chu-Carroll: sesame noodles with chili oil is divine!
Rewan Parti: Order the Dan Dan noodles and dry pepper chicken! The food is delicious and service is ninja fast!
Yen HNguyen: Love the atmosphere and the food! Everything comes in big portions (family style = for share). Highly recommend Chicken dry pepper (spicy level 5). Not recommend tofu with meat. Definitely come back!

Amy Wang: Shanghai Food, nice deco, dish’s presentation is beautiful
Elisa: You’ll probably get more value at Szechuan mountain house, though dishes here are less spicy. Nice ambience. Can be a bit of a wait. Mains are better than the apps which are mostly for the photo op.
Simran Dass: I enjoyed the soup dumplings, wine soaked chicken & duck. Also really enjoyed the fried tofu. Would come back!

Serious Eats: Get your fresh silken tofu and perfectly wobbly steamed rice rolls here.
Serious Eats: Especially vegetal-tasting soy milk and great fresh tofu. The freshly steamed rice rolls are among the best in Chinatown, but note that they're only made until about 4 pm.
ZenFoodster: Been meaning to come to this hole-in-the-wall takeout for Fishballs & vast assortment of Steamed Rice Rolls - esp the Dried Shrimp "Cheong Fun"- but can't ever make it in time before 3:30pm close!

Emiliano Viscarra: Amazing cheap food. Almost everything on he menu is good. Try the soup dumplings.
Jeremy Fisher: Big tray chicken. Make sure you ask them to add hand-pulled noodles to it.
Pauline Li: Props for the big tray of chicken (大盘鸡) and pancake with pork (肉夹馍)Seriously the MOST authentic Chinese hole-in-the-wall gem. The dishes are similar to Xi'an, but only more spicy and well-flavored.

Chip Perro: Pork buns are simple and awesome here. If you're adventurous try the jalapeño poppers - they aren't too spicy!
Serious Eats: The uptown location of the fun Chinese-American restaurant with excellent dumplings and other classics.
Lindsay Anderson: honestly found this meal to be mediocre. the presentation is awesome, but beyond that the pricing is nuts for the quantity and quality of the dishes. meh.
