Chinatown will see the debut of two new noodle shops in September 2024. The restaurants are located on Bayard and Mott Streets.

The first noodle shop, called Bamboo Noodle House, will open at 55 Bayard Street. The second, Mott Ramen, is scheduled for 39 Mott Street. Both locations are within several blocks of each other in the center of Chinatown.

Bamboo Noodle House is owned by chef Lin Zhang, who previously worked at a noodle shop in Flushing. The restaurant will focus on Cantonese-style wonton noodles and hand-pulled strands. According to city records, construction began in May and inspections were completed in August.

Mott Ramen will offer Japanese-style ramen and sides, according to owner Yuki Matsuda. The space previously housed a bakery that closed last year. Matsuda said the menu will rotate seasonally, with lunch and dinner service planned.

Both restaurants are expected to open in mid-September, following final Department of Health approvals. Chinatown has seen several noodle spots close in the past two years, with these openings representing new investment in the neighborhood.
