  • replying to u/TaroTeaTime: Peanuts noodles so good, idk if this place has the fried taro triangles but those hit also. Don’t know what it is called but those and the fried circles are so good.

    New Arping on Division St sell those. The Fuzhou fried oyster cakes are addictive.

  • replying to u/wipny: New Arping on Division St sell those. The Fuzhou fried oyster cakes are addictive. OP I recommend checking out New Arping. I still prefer Shu Jiao Fu Zhou for pork chive dumplings but I think New Arping's peanut butter noodles are more flavorful.

    The fried taro triangle and Fuzhou wonton soup were both very good

  • replying to u/crazeman: Sanmiwago is a Taiwanese chain that has this really good beef noodle soup, I personally like them better than Ho Food. There's 2 locations in Chinatown. Also you can call me fucking crazy but I swear that the [Sanmiwago location at Mott Street Eatery](https://www.yelp.com/biz/sanmiwago-new-york) taste a lot better than the standalone Sanmiwago store on the corner down the block lol. The soup taste more herbal and rich and more flavorful for whatever reason. Pan fried dumplings are also pretty good, but it feels bad paying double the price of the "dollar" dumplings spot. (Disclaimer: I've been to Mott Street Eatery location twice and the standalone store once). \--- [Tofu Tofu](https://www.yelp.com/biz/tofu-tofu-new-york-5) is a Korean restaurant on Bowery. I like their Korean fried chicken a lot. It's thicker than most KFC but not as thick as American Fried Chicken. Also they don't drench the chicken with the soy/honey sauce, they just drizzle it. ALSO the best part is that they will give you a whole selection of banchan spread to snack on with your order. (I love their banchan lol) They have a sister restaurant called Tada on Bayard that specialize in their fried chicken but I think they just give you some kimchi instead of the whole banchan spread so go to Tofu Tofu instead. \--- There's a [meat skewer cart](https://goo.gl/maps/zDqUySBMzkLpdv3S8) in front of the D train Grand St. Station that opens at around 5pm on days with good weather and they close pretty la…

    Their sweet and sour pork ribs with fried taro, stir fried rice cakes and peanut butter noodles are good.

  • I recommend New Arping as an alternative - cheap rice dishes, clam chow mei fun is crack and the peanut butter noodle is good too.

  • replying to u/rcb4d: Until I find better ones, I will continue to stand on line for SJFZ’s peanut noodles. It always seems to move well enough to be worth it. Their dumplings are solid too, but we prefer Super Taste overall.

    I like New Arping's peanut noodles better. They have a much more extensive menu too.

  • Some of my favorites (which aren't normally seen in these threads) are New Arping, Jin Wan (Fried Shrimp Buns), and the savory tofu pudding at Fong On.

  • replying to u/rograt: Wheat Noodles with Peanut Sauce from a FZ spot like Shu Jiao Fu Zhou, New Arping, Shu Mei Cafe Rice roll with non-meat fillings (suggest egg, corn, cilantro, scallion) with sauces at Yi Ji Shi Mo Sponge cakes at Spongie's Cafe or Kam Hing Coffee Shop Tofu Pudding at Fong On

    Cosign all of these + extra YES for the tofu pudding at Fong On, esp the savory one.

  • replying to u/DCRX2020: I'm born and raised in the East Village and Lower East Side, and I can honestly say, my best bet is just eating at home these days. I still do get the same good service from spots here that I have been going to since childhood, but the prices are insane, and I feel like a lot of them are skimping on portions. I usually go to V-Nam for for pho because I just like their atmosphere and the employees are awesome, but I was recently kind of going to Sao Mai because I'd be at that end of the city sometimes, and they just raised it 2.50 more for their pho, and I'm not going back there again. It's now $15.00. That's absolutely crazy. I miss the old school spots like Yaffa Cafe, Asian Pub, Thai Cafe, Sushi Park ETC, there were so many cool spots. Now everything is for NYU dormitory kids who are okay with mediocre food at ridiculous prices. I used to be a chef, I will tell a restaurant when they fuck up, I will go to the chef and tell him he's trash, I haven't had to do that recently because I know where to go, but I can't really say "hey, it was small" because everything is wild right now price wise. Unfortunately, it's an undying trend. ​ Even though Punjab Deli raised their price a bit, it's still the best food you can get in the East Village. B&H Dairy is the other dope spot, and Paul's Burgers for a big ass juicy burger (but you have to season it yourself.) Other notable mentions might be Mr. Taka for ramen (haven't been there in a bit, might not be as good or cheap,) Ic…

    I like New Arping on Division St.

  • replying to u/friends-in-nyc: In Manhattan Shu Jiao Fu Zhou 295 Grand Street also has $3 peanut noodles, and also other good food for cheap. And it's always crowded with the locals, so that's an endorsement.

    The best FZ spot is New Arping.
