Hwa Yuan opened in 2017, but is a relaunch of the original Hwa Yuan Szechuan Inn, the famed restaurant responsible for introducing New York to cold sesame noodles. The new restaurant opened at the same location, and is the perfect place to bring your family for a meal or celebratory occasion. My kids loved the light scallion pancakes, moo shu vegetable and cold noodles. Skip the long line at Nom Wah Tea Parlor – the friendly staff, tasty food, clean restaurant and available high chairs make this a great option for families with young children.
