Spicy Village

I went with a friend on a Wednesday night and there was no wait but almost all the seats were full. This place is CASH ONLY. We ordered 4 or so dishes. I'm still dreaming about the pancake with beef - we ended up ordering it again after devouring the first one. The noodle and dumplings were also delicious - I actually ended up saving some of the dry noodles for the next day because I overindulged on the pancakes but it was still pretty delicious the next day.Service is efficient. My friend and I were chatting it up and I think they were ready to close so we got out of their way. It can be a bit loud since it is a smaller space!

plentiful portions, no frills but great flavor! I only knocked a star because the pancake was quite salty, and i couldn't finish my half because it was a little too much - i almost preferred to just eat the bread. For someone who might enjoy chili or things extra packed with flavor, this app is right up your alley.the beef noodle soup was really hearty and filling, i couldn't finish it! The highlight was the dumplings. really juicy and delicious without being super heavy and greasy. expect a line during peak times esp at dinner but you can get seated within 15 min or so. don't recommend more than 3 people.

Round 3! More items, higher rating. Split all this with 7 other people and had a delicious meal. I particularly loved #26, beef with noodles. Pancake was also awesome. Staff is very friendly and sat us quickly and made extensive measures to make us comfy and that everyone got a seat. CASH ONLY

Very solid hole in da wall Chinese food joint in lower manhattan. Grabbed a late lunch with my son and we got the big bowl of chicken with hand pulled noodles in a lovely cumin spicy sauce. Delicious, rich flavors and nice chew to the noodles. We also got the spicy beef dumplings and quite honestly we could eat those daily. Rich deep flavors and very juicy filling. Dumpling skins a little thick but the meat inside made everything better and all is forgiven. The beef stuffed bread was also yummy - could have been filled with more meat IMHO for the price. Solid no frills place CASH ONLY.

This place is very good. Definitely a hole in the wall. Limited tables so can be a wait if you come during busy hours. I say there is probably 5-6 tables. Their big pot of chicken was amazing. Super spicy and numbing flavor. Highly recommend. Cash only!

I came here after work on a weekday with friends and waited about 20 minutes to be seated. We ordered the big tray chicken and the beef noodles.I felt the chicken was just okay. It was a little overcooked and tough, while the noodles were decent but could've been a bit chewier. The sauce was good though!

Great noodle soups, dumplings and veggie chicken. Small spot but good food! Popular with locals!

I've already come here twice within the last couple months just for the spicy big tray chicken. The dish is loaded with flavor, with just the right amount of spice to give you a kick without burning your tongue. It is a very simple no frills place, cash only! Seating area is pretty small but they seem to get people in and out pretty quickly. They have lots of other items on the menu, but I tend to gravitate towards the spicy big tray chicken. There is a lot of chicken and I think it's the perfect dish to share with another person (or more if you order other items on the menu). Will definitely be back!

This place has been on my list for quite some time. After 8 hours of pickle we decided to give this a try.This place is cash only and no frills. There was a short line and it moved quick.Soup dumplings 4 out of 5. Small but delicious and generous pieces 9 for $9.50Beef brisket Hui Mei. The brisket was tasty and hand pull noodles were made to perfection. The hot sauce condiment made it even better. 4/5Big Tray chicken. This is their signature and it was good. 4/5

this was my first time ever hearing about this pork pancake dish but omg i wish i heard about it sooner bc it was so good!!the breading was crispy on the bottom and the pork was savory and juicy, but a little bit on the salty side. there was also some cilantro in there which added freshness. the flavor and texture combination was just amazing. some of the bread soaked the juices but the bottom was still perfectly crispy~ it was great for a small snack! i would come back service was kind of subpar though.. and the inside was your typical Chinese restaurant interior (a bit on the small side too)
