Noodle Village

...is located in NYC's Chinatown at 13 Mott Street. There were 2 dozen of us and many dishes so I can only highlight a few...

Steam crab meat soup dumplings (6 for $6.95) - delicate skinned dumplings will hot soup.

Steam rice roll ($2.75) - plain steamed dumpling skin with a peanuty dipping sauce.

Scallion pancake ($2.75) - it really looked like a stuffed crust in a ring shape.

Fried pork dumplings (6 for $5.75).

House special fried rice - excellent rice with shrimp.

Squid & pig skin with curry sauce lo mein hong kong style ($6.50) - the curry and egg noodles were good, but we were disappointed by the pig skin. It was not crisp.

Oxtail with curry sauce lo mein hong kong style ($7.95) - very good with a hearty flavor.

Shrimp wonton, shrimp dumplings, cilantro with black egg dumplings lo mein hong kong style ($7.25) - dumplings were pedestrian.

Seasonal vegetable & mushroom lo mein hong kong style ($6.25) - pretty boring after the previous lo men dishes.

Braised Beef Brisket noodle soup hong kong style (small $6.25) - very tender beef with egg noodles.

Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce ($4.50) - pretty standard.

The food was good, but not outstanding. The service was exceptionally speedy.
