Quick review - currently closed for renovations, not listed so figured I would post this up.

The Tang serves a variety of contemporary Chinese food including noodle soups and tasty plates like tiger prawns and dumplings. Vibe is very nice too, great for a catchup with a friend. We ordered: Braised beef noodle soup Drunk noodles Fried tiger prawn w/ salted egg yolk Salt + pepper pork ribs Pork dumplings in chili oil Yuzu beer Plum apple wine My favorites of all the dishes were the jumbo salted egg prawns - so juicy and so much flavor! The drunk noodles had a half-soup broth that was worth getting again. This whole meal was honestly so comforting :)

My server told me the food is delivered to the tables quick, and it was. Everything was cooked to order and was very fresh. Interior is dark but not overwhelming. The server consistently checked on my table and provided water refills throughout my visit. The bathroom is in the corner of the dining room, so if you are eating near it you can hear it flush after being used.

If you're looking for a Chinese Noodle Bar in NYC, then you NEED to eat at The Tang! Everything is so authentic it reminds me of Popo's (my grandma) cooking! I love that the dishes here are shareable with the family!

First Impressions- found this spot on yelp with the hubby and spontaneously changed our minds from take out to eating out. Glad we did because this spot is super cute. Loved the bar seating with the glass front that allowed us views of the kitchen. I always love watching food being prepared... and bonus is we got to see how how clean and orderly the kitchen is. Always a plus since a well kept kitchen means less chance of food poisoning! The Noms: Boneless chicken thighs - served cold... but I didn't see it noted in the menu, the hubby and I expected it to be hot so it was a bit disappointing Fried pork and chive dumplings - delicious, but same as we can make at home so nothing to write home about, the chili oil that it came with mixed with soy sauce made these dumpling FIRE though! Dan Dan noodles - maybe I'm used to the Dan Dan noodles from Han Dynasty... so I was a little disappointed that these were a bit on the dry side. In Conclusion - this is a lovely spot, good for a first date since views of the kitchen will provide good conversation starters. Some of our neighboring diners ordered some bomb looking food so I'd be down to try this spot again in the future.

The Tang ( @thetangnyc ) | 920 Amsterdam Ave NY NY 10025 . The Tang is a cozy Chinese sit-down restaurant located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It's a local restaurant known for its #noodles . I absolutely loved the small plate options here. I know I typically go for dumplings but I wanted to feature their other menu items because they were just as delicious. I was blown away by the fried tiger prawns. So delicate, so flavorful and the right portion for 2 people. The service is super quick. We ordered and most of our food came out instantly. I'm also a fan of seeing my food being prepared. It's an open kitchen layout. They also have happy hour cocktails, sake, and beer. . Here's a look at what we ate: Pan-Fried Turnip Cake Taiwanese Sausage w/ garlic, pickle veggie + purple rice Fried Tiger Prawn With Salted Egg Yolk Braised Beef Noodles Soup Ma Jiang Mian: House-made sesame paste topped with shredded chicken thigh, sliced cucumber, sliced carrot, salted mustard, and House-made chili oil
