I stopped by Peng’s Noodle Folk and left seriously impressed. I ordered the Marbled Pork Rib Ramen and a Sapporo draft, and both were spot on. The ramen broth was rich, deeply savory, and comforting without being too heavy. The pork ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of fat – full of flavor and perfectly marbled. Noodles had that chewy, springy bite that tells you they’re freshly made or well-sourced. Every spoonful felt like a warm hug. The cold Sapporo on draft was served in a tall glass, crisp and refreshing. Honestly, one of the best pairings I’ve had in a while. The vibe inside is cozy and modern – wood tables, minimalist design, and a calm energy that makes you want to linger. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. Whether you’re a ramen regular or just craving something satisfying and well-executed, Peng’s hits the mark. Definitely coming back for another bowl.

Love everything about this place. Even tho I went alone it’s actually the perfect place for a first date cause there’s no LOUD MUSIC!!! So about the food I got the crispy fried vegetable balls as an appetizer and Loved it… didn’t even really need the dipping sauce tbh. The chili oil is good. If you like spicy food or Dan Dan Noodles you’ll love the Tan Tan Men Noodles here I like spicy food so I got medium level. Before I was half way down I was SWEATING!!!🥵 But I enjoyed it 🥴🤷🏽‍♂️. I got a small hot sake for $9 and it was totally worth it, that vessel in the pic held enough Sake for me to fill my glass almost 3times 🕺🏾. Last but not least about the pricing… I got everything you see in the pictures for $40.58 that’s amazing to me for the UES… I left full and tipsy 🥴. Will definitely visit at least 2 a month. 🙌🏽

Friendly service with seats open for lunch! Pork Dumplings appetizer was filled with delicious pork & Chinese cabbage. Also as delicious were the entrees: Shrimp Fried Noodles & Sesame Paste Cold Banmen Noodles! Highly recommended!! 😘😋

We stopped in for lunch. Wonderful and accomodating atmosphere and staff. The food was spectacular. We read reviews for the chase pork ramen and ordered it too. The chicken dumplings were a delightful surprise, well filled and delicious. We would return.

I have been coming to this restaurant for about 10yrs (since it orginally opened on 86th and 1st). They truly are THE ABSOLUTE BEST RAMEN! Not only in the UES, but I would say top 5 in all of NYC. It's owned by a hardworking couple who come in day after day to make these dishes fresh from scratch with out fail - inspired by their parents personal recipes. I have never had a bad meal. And on the rare occasion I don't like something they would rectify it. My favorite is the Marble Pork, but my whole family and I have had many dishes. I was sad they had to move 15 blocks away from their original location a few years ago, so it's harder for me to get there. However, the new spot has a pleasing aesthetic and relaxing outdoor space. I wish them all the best. And customers new and old are in for an experience!

We came because we saw photos of the dumplings that looked really good. We ordered the dumplings and the shrimp with soy sauce as starters, and the fried noodles with beef. Everything was very tasty! The restaurant was very beautiful inside, and the staff were really nice! There were other dishes on the menu that looked great — we might come back to try the ramen, which looked delicious from what we saw on other people’s tables.

Amazing experience at Peng's. We were seated right away. There were weekend beer deals. The servers were quick and very attentive. The chicken fried noodles were great. The pan seared chicken breast Ramen was so flavorful and delicious. The Yu Xiang Chicken Donburi was flavorful and had a good amount of spice to it. And if you want to order to go quick, they have a kiosk you can use by the entrance. Overall 5 star experience

I came out of a screening at the nearby Asia Society, frozen and hungry, just looking for a random place for dinner. And I stumbled upon this noodles place. I saw its ratings were high, but when the noodle with “marbled pork belly” came it didn’t strike me as special at all. Once I took a bite, the pork belly was probably the best I’d eaten my life. The fatty part literally melted in my mouth. At $16, it’s impeccable.

I really enjoyed having lunch here on a warm summer day. The service is quick and welcoming. I suggest you try the tofu and refreshing drinks. I liked the vegetable dumplings more than the meat ones. It would have been tastier if the filling had been juicier.

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! 🍜 The ramen was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic. 🥟 The servers were friendly and welcoming, and they even recommended the dumplings, which turned out to be a must-try! We had such a great time, especially since it was a rainy day 🌧️, and the warm, comforting broth was just perfect for the weather. ☔ Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cozy and satisfying meal.

This easy to miss ramen restaurant that makes homemade noodles is filled with warmth and charm. The servers are welcoming and attentive yet discreet. The food is absolutely amazing. Like many restaurants in this part of Manhattan, it is not large inside. I arrived around noon shortly after the restaurant opened and I was immediately seated, but the place started to fill up by the time I left.

We tried their - Creamy Pineapple Shrimps, Fried Vegetable Balls, Yu Xiang Chicken Banmen with Udon, Mango Lychee Green Iced Tea Each dish was cooked to perfection, flavourful and perfect portion size. The service was very quick, and the staff were very friendly and patient. More people should discover this place, it is indeed a hidden gem ! Loved the food, service and the vibes of this place. It is on the pricier side given it's location (Upper East side New York), but the quality of the food would not disappoint you. Must try!

Had the ramen with chicken on the side - YUM! Staff was so kind and welcoming, it was very cozy in there. I really enjoyed it there. The food was a HUGE portion, was enough for two meals and I loved it.

This place was okay. There is a cute interior and fine service but the food was just alright. I got chicken katsu ramen which was a lot better reheated than it was at the actual restaurant. The vegetable dumplings were pretty good though. We were a party of two with no reservations on a Sunday evening and we were seated immediately. Perfect for groups of 2-4. The atmosphere is very quiet, you can hear everyone’s conversations.
