Stopped in to pick up dinner, Chow Mein & Orange chicken. $34 . I understand inflation but for 2 items .. this better be some amazing Chinese. Edit: Well worth it! Portions are huge. Could definitely feed 3-4 people. Food is flavorful and orange chicken was extra saucy. Owner was really very nice and friendly. Bummer they only serve Take Out orders and not open for Dine In.

My family and I just started eating at this restaurant after my husband picked up their sizzling rice soup. We are super picky when it comes to soup and this soup is perfect when you're feeling under the weather. Since trying the soups we've picked up lunch specials. The portions are big and while some items are bland it's easy enough to doctor up with a little soy sauce and chili paste. The woman at the counter is always pleasant and appreciative of our patronage. Take a chance on this small business which is only open for take out.

First time visiting this restaurant, food didn't have much flavor. The service from the lady taking the orders was terrible, she had no patience. I was told the food would be ready in 30 minutes however I had to wait an additional 20 more minutes. I Would never go back to this place again.

The restaurant was very empty. There was only one other couple here. It was very nice to have the…read morespace but makes you worry about why there aren't more people eating here. We ordered basic egg roll, the dim sum sampler, combination chow mein, and Shanghai Noodle Three delight. The egg roll came with 2 rolls. They were the perfect amount of crispy and flavor. The dim sum sampler was mostly average. The only piece we could not eat because we found it disgusting was the chicken mochi. My partner said the chow mein was something he would come back for. If that was the only thing he ate it would be 5 stars. I ate the Shanghai Noodle Three delight. It was not a delight. It advertised having items like noodles, bean sprouts, onions, chicken, egg, shrimp, and calamari. After ordering I found it is supposed to come with 3 pieces of shrimp and 3 pieces of calamari. My plate only had two pieces of calamari. At first I was disappointed there wasn't more calamari, but then I tasted it. The calamari tasted rubbery, tough, and no good flavor. When I brought the problem of only having 2 pieces of calamari and they only said it usually tastes like that and I should have gotten three pieces. (So no solution.) My advice to the restaurant, if you know the majority of your customers think the calamari is disappointing, don't serve calamari. The dish would have been much better if you put more shrimp and deleted the calamari. (Without up charging customers.) The servers were kind and friendly. It did seem weird how busy they were when there were only two tables eating at the place. We barely saw them but they did fill up our drinks before we thought to ask.

The only truly edible things are the dim sum ... which I'm pretty sure are not made on site but…read moreheated up on site from frozen. And it is very pricy. The fried rice is mushy and overcooked, the hot and sour soup is not hot nor sour ... in fact it didn't even have salt. The sweet and sour pork was overcooked and hard. The shrimp and chicken were mostly cooked properly if utterly unflavored. The squid was so hard you could not even cut Into it with a knife... i had to discard all pieces with squid or calamari. The vegetables have little to no flavor at all. Egg rolls were under cooked so the insides of the egg rolls were chilly and mushy. The sauces they send with the dim sum are non existent or so minuscule that one person may could dip two pieces (that's being generous). I think this last food order will be my last... i kept going back after some time thinking it would be better ... but after eating food from here seven times in past five years. The cost of eating out is just too dear these days to keep hoping for something better from a place that has a proven record of only becoming worse.

Buffet? Oh yeah! I love them. I also get kinda ill afterwards. Why do I still do it? Why? I…read morelike variety. A little of this, a little of that. In that sense, (this) Asian Buffet hit the mark. While they didn't have crab legs for lunch (dinner?), they had clams, mussels, fish, and all the usual suspects for chinese food, and even, a half dozen types of sushi. $22 with tax and tip, I got my fill and more.

Been here a couple of times when I'm in Gilroy. $14.99 for lunch is a great value for all you can…read moreeat. Seniors get a dollar off. The sushi selection is small, 5-6 basic rolls but good enough as an appetizer. The hot foods were a hit or miss. The best were the bbq ribs, which were hot when I ate there at noon. It is the Chinese barbecue kind, not fall off the bone but tender. The sweetness was just right for me. The teriyaki chicken was good too, albeit not as hot as the ribs. They weren't dry and not saucy either. The chow mein noodles and fried rice weren't good or bad. The noodles were soft and not overly oily. It had a little bit of veggies but pretty much a base for the other dishes. Like the fried rice it needed extra seasoning/soy sauce and other dishes to pair with. The salt and pepper shrimp were decent size and were cooked right as the shell didn't stick to the shrimp. I had extra helpings on those dishes. Dessert had fresh fruit, canned fruit, jello and snack cakes/cookies that are standard at other Chinese buffets. The soft serve ice cream weren't creamy kinda slight on the icy side. I like to pair it with the sugar donut. As a buffet lover, this place gets a pass. Will continue to come if I'm in the area.

And it was delicious especially after being outside on a cold night. The servings are very generous as 6 out of 8 of us had to take it home. Plus everyone really liked their soup as well. Seems like this is a family owned place as if it felt like I was visiting their home and receiving some homecooking. It is funny that they still have a Now Open sign outside though when I saw that the first review was 7 years ago. But I guess technically they are now open. lol

We arrived at M Noodle & Cafe for a Friday dinner recently. The restaurant is located in a small plaza off Monterey Road and 10th street in Gilroy. Parking is accessible in the medium size parking lot. The restaurant is an adequate size with plenty of tables for dine in. There is a cultural modern decor that gave an authentic ambience. The vibe was family friendly and welcoming. They have been around for over 6 years now. We ordered vermicelli with bbq pork and shrimp, beef ball noodle, and a beef stew with tendon. Everything was delicious. The broth was warm and flavorful. The tendon beef and bbq pork was tender and juicy. Overall we enjoyed our experience at M Noodle & Cafe. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our food came out quick and the price point was fair. We hope to be back when we are in the area.
