Junzi Kitchen is a vibrant fast-casual haven for customizable northern Chinese dishes, serving up delicious bings and noodle bowls that redefine takeout.
"New York City “Junzi Kitchen is a northern Chinese counter-service spot where you can customize your own rice bowl, noodle bowl, or wrap. But when the pandemic hit, Junzi started a weekly delivery series called Distance Dining, in which they mashed up their menu with another restaurant’s for a one-off, three-course meal. I became a bit of a fangirl for Junzi’s incredible collaborations, especially the one with Adda. But on Juneteenth, I was really impressed when Junzi opened up a conversation about the little-known intersection between Chinese food history and Black culinary heritage through a collaboration with Harlem’s Teranga. The chefs involved went live on Instagram to educate diners about the menu, and all of the proceeds were donated to Harlem Grown - a youth development nonprofit that teaches urban farming, sustainability, and nutrition.” -Nikko Duren, NYC Editorial Assistant" - team infatuation
"Junzi Kitchen is a counter-service spot with locations in Midtown, Morningside Heights, and Greenwich Village where you can customize your own rice bowl, noodle bowl, or salad. They also have family-sized meals and quarts of rice and noodles, in case you need to feed several roommates." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"Junzi Kitchen is a counter-service mini-chain where you can customize your own rice bowl, noodle bowl, or wrap, and they’re currently offering customizable large-format meals as well.

"If you order Chinese takeout or delivery from Junzi Kitchen, you’ll see an option to “share a meal” at checkout, which will provide a $10 lunch or dinner to the healthcare workers at places like New York Presbyterian, Mount Sinai Children’s, and Bellevue Hospital. To learn more about the project, you can check out their website." - hannah albertine
"If you order takeout or delivery from Junzi Kitchen during the beginning of Lunar New Year, you’ll get a year of the Ox red envelope with a gift inside (either a gift card, a tea pack, or voucher for a free dish next time you order). They only have 3000 of them, and ordering starts February 12th - so get on it. In case you’re looking to send a gift to anyone who isn’t in NYC, Junzi Kitchen ships their chili oils and gift boxes nationwide." - hannah albertine
