Just had the most amazing meal here. First off, the restaurant is gorgeously elegant which makes the dining experience that much more memorable. It’s not a large space but it is thoughtfully laid out. I love the bar area in front overlooking Amsterdam Ave. And the hand painted wall murals are beautiful. Almost every angle of this restaurant is Instagram worthy.
Does the food live up to the décor? YES! So happy we got to come for a food tasting. We ordered quite a lot of food (for two people) when we were here. We ordered the fried pork buns, roasted eggplants, scallion oil noodles, pineapple fried rice with shrimp and the veggie summer roll.
The fried pork buns were amazing. The braised pork belly melts in your mouth. This was by far my favorite dish of the night. The roasted eggplants were another great dish. The soybean paste and bonito flakes really helped to elevated the eggplants. The pineapple fried rice was great and I loved the shredded pork garnish. The scallion oil noodles had great flavor. The dish was smaller than I was expecting but the noodles were wonderful. Cooked right and not overdone. The summer roll was okay. We ordered it because it looked like it was a new addition to the menu. I think this dish was overshadowed by the fried buns and roasted eggplants.
We also ordered desserts and got the fried buns with condensed milk and a scoop of the lychee ice cream. The lychee ice cream was surprisingly forgettable, but the fried buns were a winner. It had a thin coating of caramelized sugar and had a nice crunch as you bit into it. It did not need the condensed milk dip, in my opinion.
I definitely want to go back and try more of their menu. Or possibly just order 10 plates of the fried pork buns—they...
Read moreVisited this cute and cozy Chinese noodle restaurant at the UWS. They have a modern and cool vibe. They have an open kitchen concept so if you sit by the counter you can see the chef's cook your food.
The main dish that people recommended was the braise beef noodles and it was pretty good. The beef was tender and there was a lot of flavor. Even though it mentioned that it's spicy I find it moderate even though I can't eat spicy food.
My friend got the oxtail beef noodle soup. This is good if you want something light because the flavor is definitely not as strong as the beef noodles.
Some dishes we got to share was the fried tiger prawns with salted egg yolk, braised beef lucky bag and the pan fried turnip cake. They were all so delicious and portion size was great.
If I have to recommend a few dishes I would definitely go for the fried tiger prawns with salted egg yolks. The prawns were so fresh and huge. The braised beef lucky bags. It's so tasty. A lot of flavors in every bite and the braised beef...
Read moreThis place is very good for eating.This restaurant works for pretty much every dining situation. We say “pretty much” so you don’t complain to us after showing up to this all-day spot in Washington Heights looking for a white tablecloth restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or a divorce. But from breakfast on your way to work or fried chicken with a group to cocktails and pizza with a date. Once you eat at The Tang, you’ll instinctively wander back whenever you need some good, quick food that’s not too pricey. This is a Chinese noodle bar on the Upper West Side with a big selection of things like dan dan noodles, roasted bone marrow, fried beef buns. If you just want one thing, go for the signature beef noodle soup with chewy noodles, tender beef, and a smokey soft-boiled egg. There’s a bar overlooking the kitchen where you can eat by yourself, and there are also a bunch of tables in the sleek space where you can grab a casual weeknight dinner...
