Great NY Noodletown
28 Bowery, New York, NY 10013
Order decision
Start here for one complete noodle bowl. Shrimp wontons and noodles share the soup; the plain wonton-soup photograph below does not establish the size of the noodle order.
Before going
Bring cash. The restaurant states cash only, first-come seating and no reservations.

Nom Wah Tea Parlor
13 Doyers Street, New York, NY 10013
Order decision
A small-plate alternative to a noodle lunch. The house bun includes caramelized onions. Add pork siu mai at $6.35 or shrimp dumplings at $6.85 if those fillings suit your group; the PDF does not state piece counts.
Before going
Two people are walk-in only. Parties of three to five can reserve Monday through Thursday through the restaurant’s Resy link. The food PDF lists cash or American Express.

Dim Sum Go Go
5 East Broadway, New York, NY 10038
Order decision
Choose this stop when serving counts matter. Four shrimp dumplings cost $7.95, three shrimp rice rolls cost $6.95 and the mixed ten-piece seafood/meat platter costs $21.95. The platter contains different fillings, not ten identical dumplings.
Before going
The restaurant describes made-to-order dim sum. Read the individual filling before ordering a mixed plate; its seafood/meat platter includes pork, shrimp and other meats.

Hwa Yuan Szechuan
42 East Broadway, New York, NY 10002
Order decision
A Sichuan-menu option for a seated shared meal. Cold sesame noodles are a separate starter, not a wonton soup. The menu also lists Beijing duck, so a group can plan a larger main instead of ordering another bowl.
Before going
Use the reservation link on the restaurant website for a planned group meal. Its mapo tofu is listed with pork; “tofu” alone does not establish a vegetarian dish.

King’s Kitchen, East Broadway
92 East Broadway, New York, NY 10002
Order decision
Finish the route with a rice option if your group wants a change from noodles. The rice-claypot heading is distinct from casseroles and ordinary roast meats over rice. The three-meat plate in the photograph is a different menu item.
Before going
The ordering store marks rice claypots for service after 11am and lists a refundable $4 takeout-pot deposit. Ask how the deposit is charged and refunded before ordering.
