Stopped by here for a late dinner. Space is very small and limited seating. We ordered t#26 spicy beef brisket huimei (hand pulled noodles) and spicy scallion sauce vegetable dumplings. The dumplings were ok. The filling was a bid bland. The noodles were flavorful, and the beef was very fatty.
Food was quick and cheap, cash only! The noodles were very thin and "wonton-like" as my friend mentioned. Service was ok, the restaurant was very cramped. I had to get off my chair so that some worker could move a trash can behind me. Overall, solid spot, but not itching to come back again.
This is a good affordable and quick meal to grab in the LES. I came as a group of 5 and had shared different appetizers. Everything was served quick as soon as we sat. We ordered different things: - Steamed Dumplings - Soup dumplings - Bokchoy - Beef Pancake - Cucumbers - Beef Huimei The highlight was the beef pancake. It was not that greasy but super fluffy and flavorful with a good amount of meat. I enjoyed the dumplings, soup dumplings and the cucumbers to share. The dumplings were all juicy with a good amount of meat in them. The veggies all had good flavor too. The noodles on the other hand, were not spicy at all. I was surprised at how mild they were and my friends agreed. You have to add chili oil to it but it is still not spicy. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my food! Don't forget it's cash only and it is BYOB with a minimum of $18 per person.
My friends and I stumbled upon Spicy Village last night while looking for a spot to grab food after a couple drinks. It was highly recommended by the bartender of the bar we were at, so we figured we would try stopping by to see if there was room.. and luckily, there was! We chose to order a variety of shareable dishes, including dumplings, a beef pancake, spicy tray chicken and bok choy. Of all the food, the dumplings were my favorite with the beef pancake following close behind. The chicken dish is one of their more well-known ones, but I wasn't a big fan due to a heavy amount of cilantro in the sauce (not a big cilantro person!). It also wasn't as spicy as I was hoping. It's a solid spot to go share some food with friends - but make sure to bring cash!
Came here with a friend after another restaurant in the area was too busy and didn't have any space to sit. When we got there another group (of 4) was waiting outside. The hostess told us that there would be a 15 minute wait, and that we could look at the menu/order while we wait. This was pretty nice, since after we were seated we got the food pretty soon after. I got the Spicy Lamb Hui Mei. The dry noodle included seaweed, hot oil, a decent amount of lamb, and was topped with cilantro and green onion. Seeing the "dry noodles" on the menu made me think of a stir fry noodle, but the bowl of noodles still had an inch of broth. The broth was very rich and had a layer of hot oil, which is probably not meant to be drank. The lamb seemed to be boiled without much seasoning, and the meaty lamb flavor was strong. Overall the dish was very good, pretty different from the usual stir fried noodle. It felt less oily and healthier, and for $15 it's a pretty good deal.
