American Chinese Classics with Hot and Sour Soup
Eat noodle soups in a quiet Manhattan spot when the day calls for an unfussy meal.
🍲 Soup and Staples
Happy Family serves American Chinese staples at 500 West 43rd Street in Manhattan. Hot and sour soup gives you a specific starting point when dinner plans are turning into a group chat debate. Keep the order straightforward and let a familiar dish set the direction for a casual meal.
Noodle soups offer another way into the menu. The quiet neighborhood setting makes a change from the busy streets outside, with a no frills approach that puts the meal ahead of the occasion. Think comfort cooking and an unfussy stop, rather than an elaborate evening built around the table.
The restaurant is open daily from 11 AM until half past ten PM, covering both lunch and dinner throughout the week. Call 212 695 6035 to ask about a dish before heading over. For a soup craving on the west side of Manhattan, this is one address to keep handy.
