The Handpulled Noodle | West Harlem

First, if you are looking for traditional Chinese cuisine, stay away from here, it’s 1 star for me. But if you don’t mind Americanized Chinese food, this actually 4 star for you. My Da Pan beef is sweet, which I never thought of in million years. But they do offer generous amounts of beef cubes. And the beef soup noodle has good amount of marinated beef which is good, but the soup base and noodle is no no for my traditional Chinese taste buds. Lamb burger is acceptable.

Had a delicious lunch here. The noodles and beef were cooked very well. I ordered the 2nd-most spicy level and it was almost spicy enough. The spring rolls were okay (I prefer the Vietnamese version). All in all; however, I was highly satisfied.

We love take out from Hand Pulled Noodle! The ding ding chopped noodles are my favorite. Chewy and delish. While I love spice. I stick with the low because it’s the spice on the medium or high are hella hot! If you want a cute dine in experience the counter is easy and great for people watching. And for all New Yorkers carrying their tote bags around they have those handy hooks we all love. Hot Tip. If you are getting pick up. Order while you walk so it’s ready! It’s always best to do pick up or dine in so everything is super hot and fresh.

This was my first time trying hand-pulled noodles, and it was a very pleasant experience. When we arrived, we could order either at the kiosk or the cash register. The restaurant was quiet, and our food came out quickly after ordering. I got the Dapan Ji noodles, which were delicious. I also have tree-nut and fish allergies, and when I informed the lady at the counter, she kindly let me know that most of their dishes don’t contain those ingredients, which made me really happy. The food was a bit on the salty side, but I’m sure that could easily be adjusted if you let them know to go lighter on the salt.

the curry stir fry and herbal beef stew are to die for!! this was the first restaurant i ever visited in new York when i moved here 6 years ago, and i still take my friends and family here. it is my favorite restaurant in the city! highly recommend.
