Good place for quick food. Recommend the
fuzhounese peanut butter noodles with wonton soup(add vinegar to the soup for extra flavor), I also like the pork and chives dumplings from here!

I did not know what banmian was until my wife introduced me to it. This stuff is so good and the soup that you buy with it is a perfect complement. Adding a little white vinegar is great too. The price also cannot be beat for this combo. Hope the people working in there keep doing what they do for a long time.

This spot is a very fast-paced, street food style restaurant that serves FJ comfort food in a cafeteria-style seating restaurant. The dishes in this no-frills eatery are all very affordable and delicious. If you’re eating at Tantou King’s Fuzhou Fish Ball, you’ll be eating amongst all the uncles and aunties. It’s definitely a spot for locals. I used to visit with my mom when Tantou King used to be located in the basement level where the new Golden Mall now is. Their new location is much bigger and more comfortable to sit in. The lady working at the front desk can get impatient and rude though, so make sure to order quick, pay quick, and eat quick if you don’t want to get yelled at. We saw a couple customers getting yelled at during our most recent visit here, but can’t deny the food here hits the spot.
Fuzhounese food staples we ordered:
$3 ban mian 拌面/Fujianese peanut noodles
$3 bian rou 扁肉/Fujianese wonton soup
$3 fish ball soup (6 pieces)
$3 pork ball soup

I have been here before many years ago. I think it’s a neighborhood staple. I never tried FJ food before until coming here. Seems to be a lot of loyal customers who come here often.
$3 peanut noodles used to be $2 but I still love it. Yeah it’s simple and flavors could be easily made at home, and the soup is kinda bland, but I think it’s more about the local community and quick eats in between work or just grabbing a quick bite. Very flushing.

My boyfriend and I came back twice during our 4 day New York stay! We saw a Tiktok talking about the great prices + 2 of our favorite dishes and HAD to come! 2 Peanut Butter Noodles, 2 Fuzhou Wonton Soups, 1 Order Dumplings and 2 Drinks only costed around $17! They were all super delicious! I recommend adding vinegar to your Fuzhou Wontons! (only if you like sour soups ) We’d love to come back in the future! 🙂

I’ve been eating at this place since little, they move the location, compare to the one back then this one is consider 100% better. If you’re looking for a place to eat fully and cheap I would totally recommand this location. I would always order the beef tripe in noodle with no scallion, just add in some vinegar and everything is good. Though the price does goes up by a bit but the food is still the same as always.

Sorry, I don’t understand this restaurant. I asked people around me why they eat here. The only answer is that it’s cheap and fresh. The soup is bland or just soy/salt. Noodles are normal stuff a monkey can do at home. There’s no meat in the wontons (smaller than your baby fingernail). They have a line that doesn’t stop though. I’m so confused. They have 3 other restaurants I was told.

The peanut noodles here are affordable and incredible. Definitely worth a visit for those. Plenty of seating available at the time I visited.

Came here to try the recommended peanut sauce noodles and wonton soup combo that’s popular in Fuzhou China. My Chinese friends recommended this classic combo during my visit to NY. The combo was delicious. A lot of Chinese people here so that was a good sign. Service was rude and the lineup to order was a free for all. Place is dirty and the tables are not cleaned. I would set the expectations low for everything except the food.

Great food as always and you get it in under 10 minutes. It’s a classic local’s spot for Fuzhounese food. This is more so a quick grab and eat spot, so service and atmosphere isn’t up there
