河南烩面馆

Been wanting to come here for years and it did not disappoint. Food was delicious and surprisingly cheap. I had the beef pancake and spicy chicken huimei (dry hand-pulled noodle). The staff were very nice and accommodating too. Highly recommend.

Tried the beef pancake here and the spicy beef brisket with noodles. Both were really good. The beef brisket with that spicy soup was the real deal. Quick service, small store so limited seating. Feels like you’ve been invited into someone’s kitchen.

A bustling Chinatown gem that instantly transported me back to China with its street side and lively energy. The Spicy Lamb Hui Mei featured wide, chewy noodles coated in a fragrant, spicy sauce that was satisfying and comforting. Not necessarily a spot I’d rush back to, but definitely worth trying for an authentic, no-frills noodle experience.

If you are thinking of eating here, definitely do it. This is one of the best spots in Chinatown that is worth the hype. I can only speak to the Big Tray Chicken (with extra wide noodles) + dumplings; the former is a unique dish not to be found elsewhere, while the second are the best dumplings I have had at a sit-down restaurant. Service is very quick and friendly. There may be a line, but turnover is quick - do not let is scare you off!

I finally tried Spicy Village after spending loads of time in the area. I've been thinking about it ever since. The food lives up to the name - very well spiced. I got the vegetarian dry noodle (fully vegan), and I was blown away, and the portions are huge! You will wait a long time for your food if you order takeout at peak times, but it is worth it.
