Great food! very comforting and warm! I ordered the soy sauce chicken over rice, and shrimp dumplings and noodles in soup. Everything was delicious! The service was friendly, and you can tell it’s a local favorite with many regulars. I highly recommend and will definitely return to try more dishes! I recently ordered the Chinese vegetables with oyster sauce and the wonton noodle soup (shrimp). Both were very delicious!

I had the wonton beef noodle soup at Great NW Noodlestown, and it blew me away. The food was so good that I forgot I was still in the United States. The noodles were perfectly chewy, the beef was super tender, and the wontons were packed with flavor. It was so good that I had to come back again. I wish I wish I had more time to try more of their menu. They are super busy, but still have time to take care of everyone. Good price. Great and friendly service. I recommend it.

Food was great, portions were VERY generous, we had to pack some to go, it was impossible to finish two mains and a soup between the two of us. Service was a bit slow, but the place was super busy.

Delicious Cantonese food at very good prices. Everything I've order was very tasty and served in generous sizes. You have to try the duck and the noodles here. The place is small and doesn't have a certain vibe, just a place to sit and have great food, nothing pretencious. It feels authentic to me.

Good place in Chinatown. There was no wait, but the place was packed at 3pm. There was a steady stream of people arriving. We got a couple of beers, the salt baked squid (crab was out of season), a duck wonton noodle soup, and a shrimp wonton noodle soup. The bill was $75, with tip. It was good, but probably my least favorite of the restaurants we have tried from the infatuation best noodle places in the city list. It does belong on the list though, no question. I will be back because I need to try the salt baked crab.

A very busy restaurant. The meat was delicious and well cooked. The service was excellent but sit-down space was a bit limited. *cash only*

The food here feels genuinely authentic, the kind of dishes you won’t always find in more Americanized Chinese restaurants. Some flavors might be subtler than what you’re used to, but that’s part of the experience. If you’re the kind of diner who enjoys trying traditional dishes and exploring beyond the usual favorites, this is a great place to do that. They have a loooooong menu, so I would strongly recommend looking at it in advance if you can so that you know what to order when you sit down. Service is fast and efficient. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is exactly what you’d expect from a Chinatown restaurant: a little chaotic, but always interesting.

reasonably priced and reliable. I had roast pork and duck on rice for about 10-12$. the service is fast and no nonsense - New York in a nutshell. you tell they have many regulars here for good reason. good for solo diners like me.

Our siu yuk was served cold and looked like the last scraps of the pig, with lots of bone and fat. The couple next to us also got siu yuk but they had the prime crispy and meaty cuts, so the restaurant needs to do a better job with making the dishes equal in quality. The beef chow fun was pretty good, with really tender beef. The noodles lacked some flavor but it was still good. We also ordered fried porkchops with rice but it came slathered in a sweet and sour sauce, which was not stated on the menu. Surprisingly good because it tasted like panda express, so I'm not mad about it, but the menu should be more clear, since I'm not going to a cantonese restaurant for panda express. Also they have a service charge on the bill, just so you're aware. We didn't have to wait even though the restaurant was packed, service was quick. Great prices for how food you get.

The place is overhyped in my opinion. Service was fast and good, but the food was mediocre. We ordered the noodle soup and the chicken with broccoli, and both lacked flavor. It was okay, but not something I’d go out of my way for again.

Busy place, we ordered the duck and soft shell crab. Rice was hot, duck was lukewarm. The duck wasn't bad, but nothing special. Soft shell crab was good, we had it 2 other places and this was probably the favorite. I would try again and try some other dishes. It was busy a good sign, but felt like not as good as the hype.

This place was rated one of the 100 best restaurants in NYC! I had to give it a try. It’s a small casual place. It’s packed during lunch time. We waited for about 15 minutes and got seated at a small table for 5 of us. We ordered half roasted duck, bbq pork, beef chow fen and beef noodle soup. The duck was very good and I’d recommend this dish. BBQ pork was ok. Beef chow fen didn’t have much beef and beef noodle soup was average. It’s a cash only place. Please be aware that they charge you 20% service charge automatically! No need to tip extra! It’s very misleading the way how they presented the check. It’s on a handwritten receipt with “SC” next to it, which would be hard to tell if not paying attention to your bill. In my opinion, there are soooo many better Cantonese restaurants near by in Chinatown.

We visited the place to support the dying old China restaurant business. The overall experience was disappointing. First, the place was relatively modern and new compared to the other old establishments here. But the place was filled with unpleasant seafood odor. The food in general has its authenticity to it, but not well prepared. Shrimp shell in wontons or flour lump in wonton skins. The duck had not much meat and the chashu was way too fatty. Overall, it is an old and authentic Chinatown restaurant, but it was not a good one.

1/8/26 I’m writing this review because consistency and food safety matters. The first time I had roast duck from Great New York Noodle Town, it was absolutely delicious. The duck was not greasy at all, perfectly cooked in the middle, soft, juicy, and full of flavor. You could truly taste the roast duck, and the skin had a subtle sweetness that made it amazing. That experience is the only reason I agreed to order it again. Unfortunately, the second time was a complete disappointment and honestly disgusting. The duck we received tasted old. There was no duck flavor at all. The meat was gray, and when I warmed it up, it released a strong, unpleasant odor. Even worse, parts of the meat appeared yellow and pus-like — not the skin, but the meat itself, which is extremely concerning. It was clear this duck had been sitting out far too long before being sold. Yes, the photos may look good because my phone takes great pictures — I can’t help that — but close-ups tell the real story. The food was bad, unsafe, and completely inedible. We had to throw it away. It’s unacceptable for any restaurant to sell meat in that condition. Food is expensive, people work hard for their money, and no one should come home excited to eat only to be met with spoiled food. Beyond that, people are hungry out here — wasting food because of poor handling is infuriating. The inconsistency between visits is alarming. Great the first time, absolutely terrible the second time. That alone makes it hard to trust ordering again. This review is being posted so others are aware — no one deserves to pay for food that should never have been sold in the first place.

The roasted duck and rice is dry with undercooked rice. Overhyped. The shrimp wonton with noodles was okay. They keep 3$ service charge.

“Please leave.” That’s exactly what we were told at Great NY Noodletown, and it perfectly sums up the experience. The food was mid at best. BBQ items came out cold, the char siu was dry, and overall it was just disappointing. No exaggeration when I say it was some of the worst char siu I've had. Cheap $ food for cheap quality food. Nothing like the other restaurants we went to that day. Somehow, the service was even worse. Rude attitude, zero hospitality. There is a polite and professional way to tell guests that others are waiting. They chose instead to be outright rude and piss everyone off. Message received. We will indeed leave and leave a bad review.

Don’t believe the hype this place is poor at best …. Microwaved pork from a dirty looking kitchen. The poster stating it’s in New York Times top 100 restaurants can only be BS and self printed. Avoid
