FER — Restaurant in New York

We were so excited to try this place. We are vegetarian and were pleased to see two vegetarian noodle dishes along with the chili wontons, which from the menu description seemed vegetarian.

When we arrived we already knew what we wanted to order so we asked for both tofu noodle dishes only to be told they were out of the Mapo Tofu dish. We asked if they could just give us the dish without the tofu or add the tofu from the other dish (veggie tofu) which was available. The server was unsure and did not know how to answer so she asked the chef who was not interested at all in accommodating us. He simply shook his head and rudely walked away. Since the Mapo tofu was not available at all we asked if they'd be able to throw tofu on top of the Saucy Sesame dish for some protein. Once again, the server had no idea how to answer. She looked around got the chef's attention and he again denied us our request by rudely shaking his head and just saying "no".

Next, we asked for the chilli wontons. The server informed us that they actually have pork in them. The menu description by no means implies that these are not vegetarian - "Chilli Wontons: homemade dumplings w/ fresh veggies & scallions in homemade chilli sauce" nothing about pork.

We were extremely disappointed that two out of the three items were came for were not going to happen. The chef was rude and did nothing to help or make us feel like a trip to this restaurant was still worth it. When we mentioned that the menu description was misleading all they said was "yeah the menu has a lot of typos" no apology, they simply did not want to help us out. Rude, unprofessional and unaccommodating. This place was such a...

I came here for lunch with a group of friends and it was a great time! The inside of the restaurant is bright, spacious, and very clean. They have minimal sleek and wooden decor. Service here was relatively quick, and they were sweet. At one point, they forgot my friend's drink so it was on the house!

Their menu has a variety of small Chinese tapas/plates, such as wontons, salads, and other small bites. They also have a variety of noodle dishes, both hot and cold AND you also have the option to eat (depending on the noodle) them with broth or dry. I got the supreme beef noodle soup dry with the broth on the side, and with medium spice. I also got the wontons. I thought that both of them were so delicious, and it was a great idea to get the broth on the side. The broth was light and comforting. Meanwhile, the beef noodles were packed full of flavor and the egg noodles were delicious. Note that my friends did think their mild was spicy, so if you don't have high spice tolerance then play on the safe side and get a mild or no spice! Good spot for some Chinese noodles and I would love to come back to try some of their...
