Nestled in Chelsea Market, Very Fresh Noodles serves up hand-pulled noodle soups that pack a flavorful punch, from spicy dan dan to tender beef bowls.
"Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup If more places named themselves after the quality of their noodles, it would be harder to make dinner plans, but overall we’d be cool with it. Especially since the Taiwanese beef noodle soup at this Chelsea Market spot is worth crossing the Hudson River on a Citi Bike for. The combination of tender beef chunks and chewy, flat noodles make this dish one of the best things you can eat in the area, and for less than $15, you’ll get more than enough noodle soup for one." - nikko duren

"If more places named themselves after the quality of their noodles, it would be harder to make dinner plans, but overall we’d be cool with it. Especially since the Taiwanese beef noodle soup at this Chelsea Market spot more than lives up to the name. The combination of tender beef chunks and chewy, flat noodles make this dish one of the best things you can eat in the area, and for around $16, you’ll get more than enough noodle soup for one." - Nikko Duren
"Very Fresh Noodles is preparing to open its first standalone location outside of Chelsea Market in Midtown, New York City. The new location will continue to offer fan-favorite dishes like cumin lamb noodles, Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and spicy vegan noodles, along with new appetizers such as chili-garlic seaweed salad and crispy, tingly chicken wings. The space will measure approximately 830 square feet with 23 seats inside, aiming for a more tailored dining experience inspired by Japanese record bars." - Erika Adams
