    This place is a joke. I came here with my three children. My 10 year old, 4 year old and 2 year old. They wanted to charge me adult price for my ten year old because apparently she's "tall" so child prices are based on your child's height instead of actual age...I can't help that my daughter happens to be tall like her parents. She is indeed 10 and was going to have to pay adult prices while eating child portions. This is a stupid policy and I left not because i couldn't afford the adult price but because i refuse to patronize an establishment with such an idiotic rule. I'll gladly spend my money elsewhere. Gladly.

    How can one say anything about a restaurant that seams to have it all when it comes to oriental cuisine. To look in from the outside is a treat in itself. So much food and such a variety of tastes. Great appetizers to start out with. It generally takes at least two plates for the first go round, then you go back for seconds, things you couldn't put on your plate the first time, then comes the third time, which are generally ones favorites, and then maybe desert. They have a great variety of seafood from mussels to oysters to cold boiled shrimp to crawfish and then some. Many types of Sushi. And don't forget their soups and salads. don't forget to go back to the Hibachi Grill, just go pick out what you want to eat, and the chef will cook it for you. While you are waiting, go fill up those plates with all the wonderful dishes to go along with your main course. If you haven't been here before, you are really in for a treat. I give this place 4 stars, great food and great service.

    Great kid choices :)

    Great customer service, Great Food! Crawfish, Coconut Shrimp, Egg Rolls, Fried Crab, Fried Fish, Fried Shrimp, Fried Wonton, Hibachi" Plate, Lo Mein, Pepper Chicken, Sushi Lunches, Wonton Soup.

    So, I have been here 6 times. Weekends and weekdays with great food and great customer service during both. I am sure bad days happen but not during any of my visits. Now on to the food, there are plenty of dishes to please just about anyone. There plenty of sweets to tempt the palette. From flam & cakes to several different flavors of real ice cream. Salads of all sorts, raw oysters, cold boiled shrimp. Way to many to list them all but a few I really like are the Coconut shrimp, Pepper Steak, Mongolian Beef, Fried Calamari , and the fried ribs. The sushi bar has plenty to offer and is pretty tasty. I don't like buffet soups of any kind so those are up to you to review. But as far as Chinese buffets go this one has been great. Give it a try and be the judge yourself.

    The ordering experience was good. However, the food was not so. Due to the sweet n sour chicken was…read moredry. I asked for a side of sweet n sour sauce. I was given 1 packet. I asked for more and informed the employee that I don't like dry chicken. Guess what?? she gave me 1 more. Lesson learned, I should have left the dry chicken there

    I have been to the Noodle Master location in Pasadena several times years ago, but they have since…read morebeen "temporarily closed" for at least the past couple years...due to a "fire." Hmm. So I'm glad this one in Pearland opened up fairly recently and we got to go here with good friends! The place was bustling on a Monday night with several diners coming in and out and various takeout orders being made. We skipped the dumplings and went straight for the plates. We ordered the Dry Fried Spicy Popcorn Chicken, Mabo Tofu, Ground Pork with Bean Sauce Dry Noodles, and the Mix Flavor Eggplant. The Dry Fried Spicy Popcorn Chicken came out as a huge portion - this is a must-do anytime we get Szechuan food. The chicken was crispy and the side of rice was served on the plate. The Mabo (Mapo? never seen it spelled that way) Tofu was flavorful. It had a good spice to it and was big enough to share. The Ground Pork with Bean Sauce noodles was tasty - the pork paired well with the bean sauce and the dish was topped with sliced cucumbers and peanuts, which made me connect this as a sibling dan dan noodles. The mix flavor eggplant as seasoned really well and was a nice veggie to balance out the other meats we ordered. I expected this to just be a stir fry dish of sauced eggplant, but to my surprise, it was served on top of their signature handmade noodles. Service was friendly and efficient. Our food started coming out within 5 minutes of ordering and the servers kept our waters filled. The only disappointment here was that we asked for scissors to cut the long hand-pulled noodles; they gave us a knife because they didn't have any clean scissors. NOT THE SAME. We hinted that if a pair of scissors happened to get cleaned, we'd love to get it, but we never did unfortunately. So we struggled and played spaghetti with our noods, not necessarily a bad thing. Towards the end of our meal, there were still a few tables dining in, and our table stayed to chat a bit. The staff had no problem with this and even still refilled our waters after we checked out. We had a great experience at the Pearland Noodle Master and will definitely return again soon.

    First time eating here. I had the goat curry and wife had the chicken biryani. Wife loved her…read moremeal and the goat was delicious. Also the garlic nan and mango lassi was on points!!! The guy serving us was very kind and sociable. Wish I'd had taken picture of the food but dug into it when it got served. LOL. We had a great time. We live in Pearland so it's nice to have a good Indian place to ear nearby. Definitely will be coming back for the Sunday brunch. Danny L.

    This is my 2nd time visiting this restaurant and I am trying the Saag chicken since it is prepared…read morein the Northern Indian style. This dish comes with rice, however naan is extra. I asked if they served any alcohol, alcoholic beverages, and was informed that they have plans to start selling alcohol within the next 3 to 4 months. I inquired if they were going to have a full barn with a bartender and was told that they plan to start slow by just selling certain alcoholic beverages initially then overtime increase the number of items that are offered. I made my order to go so I could take pictures of my food before I forgot to take pictures. It seems that currently most of their business is takeout. Takeout business is brisk. I've seen three or four while waiting for my food to be prepared. In my opinion the Saag Chicken is prepared in the Southern style, in spite of what the manager said. My food is piping, hot and delicious. The server brought me a plate and silverware when he saw me opening my dishes. He returned with a glass or water also, I love this attention to detail it can make an average experience memorable. The interior could be more inviting with different furniture, making it more appealing. GN3
