Great New York Noodle Town

28 Bowery

New York , NY , United States

(212) 349-0923

What Great New York Noodle Town in Chinatown lacks in decor, it makes up for in cheap, but good food and speedy service. Hanging meats and chopping blocks take up the front part of this Chinese restaurant and no-frills tables fills the rest. Signature dishes are the wonton soup, with whole shrimp inside firm noodles, chunks of pork, and rich broth, and the roast pork, which has an extra crispy skin. The restaurant is also known for its salt baked seafood: lightly deep-fried shrimp, soft-shell crabs, scallops, and squid with a crispy crust.
