This is MY FAVORITE noodle place in New York. I mean, it's not fancy or anything but its my idea of the best low-key noodle place around.
I found it while we were ordering out one day for lunch at work (was consulting in the area at the time) and have been back several times since. It's kind of hard to get to if you live on the west side but if you're anywhere near 3rd avenue in the 50s, its a breeze to get to. I haven't gotten anything on the menu except for the udon noodles with chicken and spinach. Yes, it's nothing special as it is just noodles, broth, chicken, and spinach – but that's what I love about it. Sometimes your taste buds just need to chill and you just need a warm soup. I love picking up my food so I don't have to pay delivery tip but I once got it delivered (late night work meal) and the guy showed up literally 5 minutes after I ordered. Awesomely fast! Plus, when you order delivery they give you free pineapple chunks too. I have also eaten in and while it is not the biggest nor best looking place in Manhattan, it is still quiet and nice and yummy. It's always nice to eat out a bowl instead of a plastic soup cylinder. 🙂
I was having dinner with a cousin and she ordered in from Go Noodle. While they are good at meeting certain dietary needs, the price is simply not equal to the quality. I asked for low oil and it was still pretty oily, steamed tofu was $2 extra, and the vegetables were scarce from my vegetable chow fun noodles. Positives? They give customers free leechee and pineapple as dessert. Yum. And portions are huge, enough for two meals.
I'm going to go ahead and give Go Noodle 4 stars under the category of "Greasy Chinese Takeout in Midtown East" b/c everyone in the city needs their go to spot close to home.
*This will also be a review comparing Go Noodle to Lin's Gourmet as they are one avenue apart. Rating the 4 because I do feel this place should be higher rated than Lin's!
Based on Chow Ho Fun, which is my favorite Cantonese fried noodle dish, this place is way better than Lin's Gourmet (which I have tried a few times).
PLUS, Beef and Shrimp Chow fun same price! and included ~20 medium sized shrimps as per photo.
PLUS, Go Noodle is open until 11:00pm vs. Lin's Gourmet 10:00pm.
PLUS, Per Seamless: Go Noodle has Avg 5 stars based on 265 Ratings, 86 reviews VS Lin's Gourmet Avg 3 stars based on 26 ratings, 16 reviews.
I guess the negative is that Lin's Gourmet can be up to a few dollars cheaper but it's already cheap less than $10, I rather pay for better tasting food.
After trying Go Noodle though, I will NOT be returning to Lin's Gourmet.
If this is 1 star Chinese food, then I don't know how low on the scale Chinese food in my city would rank. I actually liked it a lot. The homestyle tofu was tasty, and tofu had just the right consistency. The eggplant with garlic sauce was just how I like my aubergines. The sesame noodles were delightful. And the brown rice was a great touch, and was perfectly moist. The canned pineapple and lychee is a nice way to end a meal. I'd order from Go Noodle again!
This is the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I ordered sesame chicken, steamed chicken dumplings & fried rice. Let's just start with the fact that I'm pretty sure this wasn't even chicken. It maybe, was all the leftover cartilage remains of chicken, fried into overly greasy and overly breaded sesame seed flavor. The dumplings? The inside were pink, chewy and gross. And the rice? Yellow with likely canned vegetables. I tossed it half way through.
Used to eat from this takeout spot all the time. But that was a while ago (decided to be healthier). One thing I remember loving was the chicken dumplings (fried oh yeah) these bitches were plump too. You got 8 baby apple sized dumplings. That was the past, today is different. It may have been over a year maybe even two since I've eaten these dumplings. I decided after the gym to have a fuck it day (just for the dumplings). Today these dumplings were more like dumplames. Yeah maybe 1/4-1/2 the size I remember. The biggest thing is they were $8. For that much I could have bought some healthy food from Wholefoods, which was the original plan.
1. Fuckit can fuck you over.
2. Don't bother with the dumplings they ain't worth it.
3. Stick with a healthy plan, its healthier.
We popped in here on a whim to give it a try for "greasy spoon Chinese" food. A few seats to sit at, but the business appears to be mostly the take-out kind of place.
Two dishes: Yang Chao Rice (mixed meat & fried rice) and the Garlic Pork are what we ordered.
The Garlic Pork wasn't too spicy and the pork wasn't so much shredded as chunky – not nearly garlicky enough, but it satisfied an itch.
The Yang Chao fried rice wasn't bad, but it was a bit dry but similarly, was close enough to what we wanted.
Both dishes not so much the normal greasy spoon Chinese that you look for, but still, not a bad start.
I am a loyal customer to my local fast food Chinese restaurant. They are fast and friendly, and always give me extra fortune cookies! I don't cook for myself, so at least once a week I stop in for the Chicken Fried Rice and the Steamed Pork Dumplings, and then I go home and indulge in some guilty pleasure TV (like The OC). They have just a few tables and chairs, but I've never eaten in the restaurant; the mirrored wall always freaks me out a bit. But for take-out, it's tops!
