NYU Area｜Sichuan-Style Beef Noodles 🍜 + Spicy Braised Duck Neck

After a sweet morning of pastries in the city 🥯, I was craving something spicy for dinner. Near NYU, I stumbled upon Mr KEKE Asian Noodles—a cozy spot blending Chinese and Japanese styles, complete with spicy braised snacks! 🍴 Mr KEKE Asian Noodles 📍 63 Cooper Sq, New York, NY 10003 We ordered two noodle bowls: 🌶️ Sichuan Spicy Beef Noodles – Honestly spicy! As someone from Sichuan, I can confirm the heat is legit 🥵 Maybe go mild if you’re spice-sensitive. The beef shank is braised until tender and soaks up the fiery broth perfectly. 🍲 Spicy Brisket Noodles – Much milder, with a subtle herbal aroma. The brisket chunks are huge and super satisfying—great value! For sides, I loved: 🐙 Takoyaki – Crispy outside, soft inside, with real octopus bits. Not greasy and topped with dancing bonito flakes! 🦆 Braised Duck Neck – Flavorful, savory, and slightly spicy. We couldn’t finish it all, so took the rest home—perfect snack for binge-watching later! The space is clean, modern, and spacious—a nice find in the busy NYU area. #NYCExploration #NYCFood #NYC #NYCLife #NYCStudent #FoodieDiaries #Noodles #ChineseNoodles #NYCChineseFood #NYCWeekend #SpicyFood #NYUEats #ComfortFood #NYCRestaurants
