Haven't been here in a minute but love this place. The hand pulled noodles here are to Chinese food what fresh pasta is to Italian and you can watch them make the noodles if you like. My visits here are always for hand pulled noodles in soup, which I feel is better if you get and eat there vs take out or delivery. I think I almost always get the shrimp wonton and hand pulled noodles in soup, whiile my frequent companion here always gets something like beef tendon and stew. Other than that we occasionally get the scallion pancake, which is decent and we sometimes eat it dipping it into the soup. Also like the radish with sauce, basically pickled daikon.

This day, given a former experience, I volunteered to friends that we go to Hand Pulled Noodle in Hamilton Heights. That said, I didn't cook and prepare my own food. I have had since Sunday night through to today severe food poisoning, fever and general malaise. The pork of the dish ("Old[...]") was especially greasy and the flavouring sauce attempted to mask it and the overly thick noodles that seemed more like hardened dough defrosted then freshly prepared. I will never come to this shop again. It is disgusting what they've done. And if you care for your gut, I'd suggest the same. What type of establishment markets in improperly prepared foodstuffs? Really, they should be...
