On my journey to find the best beef noodle soup, I stopped by this small mom and pop shop. A very small place supposedly serving up some very authentic Chinese food. We started with the Scallion Pancakes which were a hearty portion and very thick - not your typical thin flaky pancakes you normally get. The hot pot was not my favorite and would definitely pass on this. The noodles however were pretty good. They had a good chewy texture with a flavorful broth that was too spicy. Definitely a family owned spot with their service doing their best to make sure you are taken care of. Funny enough, the mom was trying to wait tables while helping her son with homework. Loved that! Decent neighborhood spot. Apps: Scallion Pancake Entrees: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and Beef Hot Pot read more

Their MAPO TOFU is Devine!!!!!! Definitely one the best in this area. I love their mapo tofu. The staff is funny and obviously hard workers. read more

Fun hot pot spot tucked under the basement of an office building! Lots of noodles and toppings to choose from! The #5 Garden Veggie Hot Pot loaded with veggies and soft tofu was fun to try and quite filling. While the unique glass wide noodles were charming, they were dense and bland and would have gone with another noodle choice - next time! I wish the broth was more flavorful. It would have been nice to have an extra plate or bowl to allow some of the veggies and noodles to cool off as the pot was scalding hot under the flame. Overall, I enjoyed the hot pot and impressed by the fresh veggies. The large fluffy Scallions Pancake was the highlight of our meal and between the 3 of us - we devoured it! Had a great time with friends and excited to come back! read more

Ordered online through the toast app. The restaurant can be hard to miss if you don't have your gps on. The workers in the restaurant I saw when I came in didn't wear masks. I ordered a shaved noodles beef soup in medium spicy, and this medium spicy noodle dish in the appetizer section. I have no complaints on the food! I'm glad I got medium spicy because because meals were spicy!!! I was able to finish the soup but I have the appetizer for leftovers!!! One thing that just made my experience three stars is that when I was going to pick up my food from the box, there was a long black hair sticking to the plastic bag near the knot. I still ate the food but I couldn't shake it off. I know it wasn't my hair because my hair is bleached blonde. read more

I still go here for the food but just know the owner is really irritable and kinda mean. I usually just quickly order, don't make eye contact, and eat whatever they bring out, no questions asked. It's a little scary tbh. read more

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior and interior! Fahrenheit serves authentic Sichuan cuisine. It's not very big inside but dine in is available. Lots of foods but you can customize your spice level! They are known for their hot pot soup bowls, which has potatoes, noodles, veggies, fish balls, and a meat of choice (veggies, chicken, lamb, beef, or seafood) We also got the cold noodles and spicy Sichuan fish fillets. The cold noodles were really refreshing. The fish was a bit salty which obscured the spice a bit. They also have noodle soups and you can choose shaved, thick, or thin noodles. I'd come back next time if I'm craving some Asian comfort food! read more

I love Taiwanese hotpot and so excited to find one in the DC area. They were easy to order on their website and they offer curbside pick up! Just call their number and they will bring it out to you. It surprisingly traveled pretty well after a 30 min drive back to DC. The beef was a little tough after reheating but I think that's because they fully cooked the beef since this was a To Go order. The soup is flavorful, however, I think it would be good if they can include some dipping sauce in their To Go order to enhance the flavor as that's how I am costumed to Taiwanese hotpot (dip in sauce). Looking forward to try it on the traditional burner when the pandemic is over! read more

So I will first say all of my experience with this restaurant has been through UberEats which in the beginning was great! Over the past couple of months things have seriously taken a turn. The food just isn't as good as it once was. I ordered the spring rolls and they were gross. They were cold and looked like someone's leftovers from the day before. Not crispy at all almost soggy and this didn't appear to be a storage problem. I usually order the Chongqing with ground pork and I'm not sure what they did with the broth but it's super watered down now. It's a shame. This place used to be my favorite. But not so much anymore. read more

Fahrenheit Asian - 9. Spicy Beef Soup Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - McLean, Virginia

A very average place. Vibe/atmosphere: The atmosphere is a bit rundown inside; I suggest sitting outside if the weather is decent. Food: The spring rolls weren't cooked very well, nor were they hot or flavorful; order a different appetizer. The Mao Po Tofu was also okay. Yes, it was flavorful and hot in temperature - which I liked - but the tofu pieces were dense and heavy; I've usually enjoyed them being lighter. Experience: I wasn't a fan of the logistics of placing an order from their menu; they had a paper menu option but it didn't have the prices. You had to go online instead to see the prices, which made the experience scattered. Lastly, I wouldn't say the customer service was bad but it was very average. Prices: The prices did not seem reasonable for the food/quality/experience. Overall, this place is okay. If you compare it to others in the area, on a curve, it does a little bit better than others. read more

Don't let the mixed reviews prevent you from trying out this mom and pop authentic Chinese eatery. This is a no-frills restaurant (there's something about stacks of food storage boxes in the corner that make it so down to earth) specializing in Asian comfort food, to include items such a beef noodle soup, Chinese sausage, dan dan noodles, and mapo tofu. We came here on a winter night for their 'hot soups', aka personal hot pots. There are many different types of broth and meats to choose from, but I opted for the beef hot soup. It came with a generous portion of meat, and don't let the size of the bowl deceive you. The bowl was actually quite deep and had tons of fillings for the hotpot. It could have easily been shared between two people. Definitely a great spot if you want a quick bite to eat, or carry home traditional Asian comfort food. read more

The food tasted very hearty and home-made. The wontons were huge and fully filled with meat, packed with spices. The beef noodle soup was clean and rich in flavors. The soy milk was very fresh and tasty too. Again, everything looked authentic and home-made. However, I understand what others had to say about the service here... Apparently, it is a hole in the wall, family-owned restaurant, and the two ladies here are always very busy making something. Like others mentioned, my Uber driver was having a trouble getting my order here on time. Welp, I can cope with the unprofessionalism for the food, I guess. read more

We came here for lunch on Sunday at around 1pm and there was a bit of a wait for a table. I got the spicy beef noodle soup with shaved noodles and it was really good! There was a good amount of spice and the noodles were cooked to the perfect texture. Still soft, but yet chewy. There was a good amount of meat... Some of the meat was particularly fatty, but the meat, in general, was really tender. I wish there was more veggies in my noodle soup, but overall, I would definitely come back and get this dish again! It was the perfect way to start off my cold Sunday morning. My friend also got the Thai hot soup and it looked delicious. The hot pot bowl was filled to the brim with various veggies and seafood and she even had some to take as leftovers! Only thing is if you're planning to pay separately, be aware that they may not be able to split the check as you'd like. I believe that we couldn't split the check separately and had to just split the bill three-way so just something to keep in mind. read more

The spicy beef noodle soup was good but could use more broth, which they said they could add more upon request. Jaijanmeng was good.

I LOVE hot pot! My wife and I have been coming here regularly. We always order the spicy beef soup base, spice level "very spicy" to share. We also get extra pork, lamb and tofu. Compared to other hot pot places, the price is very reasonable sharing the soup pot. You have to order the extras, but even so it is cheaper than places like The Hot Spot which is a flat price per person. Overall, love this place, especially on a cold night like tonight. Highly recommend if you like hot pot. If you've never had hot pot, it is a pot of soup base, they serve with a flame under to keep it hot. You cook the very thinly sliced meat, or tofu or vegetables in the pot, and then dip in a dipping sauce. If I could make one recommendation, it would be to add a station to make your own dipping sauce, with Chinese bbq, hot chili oil, chili flakes, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, etc (all the goodies to make your own custom dipping sauce to taste). A second recommendation would be to add Sichuan numbing peppercorns in the soup too, but I know some people probably would prefer without it. read more

This is a no nonsense operation! We loved it! They are seating everyone outside and they put up tents if it rains. The beef soup was fantastic! It came out piping hot with rare beef, Napa cabbage, tofu, tomato, vermicelli and some other stuff- delicious! And it was gluten free. My company ordered the same and a dozen dumplings. He loved the pork dumplings. You have to specify if you want steamed (or was it boiled?) dumplings or the pan fried. Next time, he will try the pan fried. The service was awesome and they sanitize everything entirely between customers. There were only 2-3 of them and they keep it moving. Thanks for the experience! It was worth the drive from DC! read more

We've ordered takeout a number of times over the past 1.5-2 years, probably about 12 times. I really want to like it, but am growing increasingly frustrated. The good: their good is good, different and flavorful (as long as you don't get a no spice - that's bland). My husband had the Kung pao tonight and said it was really good. The bad: Wait times: online ordering routinely (as in pretty often) gives a 20 min wait time when actual wait is far longer. Tonight's wait time was near an hour when our order said 15-20 min. Spice level: seems inconsistent. I've had no sprice - which is bland. Tonight I had mild and it was the same spice as my husband's king pao medium spice. Meat: I ordered #7 chongqing which seemed to only have 1-2 tbsp of pork. For $12.50 it's a bowl of spicy broth, noodles and a little meat (bok choy extra) read more

Stuck at home during the pandemic and looking for a good chinese food fix so we order online via Chownow. They seem to be a bit backed up as it took over an hour for the pick up to be ready and I had to wait an extra 35 minutes for my order. I can understand as employees may not be available, however, be aware if you decide to order. Prices seem to be a bit higher also. All that said, the Jajangmyeon is our go to here and it was just way too salty. Last time we were there several months ago (pre-pandemic) it was also on the salty side. The seafood soup was good...light, lots of seafood and comforting. I know this is a small mom & pop shop and we like supporting small businesses, however, issues like excessive wait times, overly salty food, etc will hurt in the long run. read more

Solidly average place with good vibes! Enjoyed sitting in the small mom and pop and people watching. The beef hot soup extra spicy was quite spicy, but not very yummy. I liked the liangpi and the veggies. read more

I think this restaurant is overhyped for both the food and service they offer. First, I arrived at the restaurant when it just opened at 11am. There was a party of 3 already seated but it took the server good 10 minutes or so to take both tables' orders. Once the server came around to take our order, my food was served after 30 minutes or so. This made the eating experience rather awkward because my husband's food did not arrive until good 5-7 minutes after my order arrived. Next, I went ahead and started eating my meal because I was in fear of the noodles getting soggy in the soup. Well there was no need for that as a concern! Why?! It was already soggy, mushy, and over boiled. Perplexing and disappointing given that my table was customers #2 of the day, and there was only one other table (of 3) right next to us. So then my husband's food came out. His noodles were even more over boiled and soggy. It was practically dissolving in his soup and barely possible to feel like you're chewing or eating anything. In sum, I will not be returning to eat here again. Given the slow service and long wait time for food, and the food not tasting all that good, I don't see why I should bother. read more

Ordered via the Toast app. Shuizhu Beef, Kungpao Chicken and Cashew Chicken were all excellent. Super flavorful and bringing the heat. Handmade Dumplings - we went with pork were also excellent. Onions Cake - this was meh. Too much like an Indiana naan, which I like, but not in this context. Service was excellent and pricing very reasonable given the portion size. read more

Got the Mapo Tofu. It was okay, nothing too special. It has a very strong ginger taste, so if you are not a fan of ginger, then I would stay away from this dish. I got the medium level spicy but it was actually quite spicy... very unexpected. If you can't handle too spicy, I would ask for more mild than medium. read more

I ordered for pickup through Grubhub. I got to the store about 20 minutes past the estimated pick-up time and it said that the order was still being made. I decided to go in anyway to check on it. This was about noon on a Thursday and there were a few tables seated outside (none inside) but the experience was so chaotic. It took like 10 minutes for me to pick it up because they were fixing other people's messed up take-out orders and were too busy. The staff was not wearing masks either. Spiced Beef Hot Soup ($17) - Pretty pricy for what it is, but was a huge portion size. This could definitely feed two people. It has beef, cellophane noodles, potatoes, and other vegetables. I enjoyed the flavor of it and it came with white rice. I got medium spice and it was actually pretty spicy, which surprised me. But I would definitely get this again - it was very tasty. read more

So we dined here for the first time this weekend and my entire party agreed that we will not be coming back. Talk about a rip off... If you're going to charge $11.50 for beef noodle soup, at least put some effort into it and make it something memorable. Oh wait, this is McLean pricing/standards, so it's justified, right?....No! It was such a simple/underwhelming version of beef noodle soup, lacking any level of complexity. It actually reminded me of the sub-par beef noodle soup at A&J, but at least over there it's reasonably priced. Service: It took a while for us to get a table, even though there were 2 open tables upon arrival. Then it took a while for someone to take our order. And then it took at least 20m for us to get our bowls of beef noodle soup. Seriously?!?!?! All that waiting just for that simpleton version of beef noodle soup?!?!?! C'mon now.... Payment: I tried to use a credit card w/o a chip and was told they only take cards w/ chip. Definitely not what I expected, or maybe that shouldn't have come as a surprise after everything else that unfolded in such a poor fashion. Smell: All of us reeked of Chinese food afterwards (similar to eating kbbq w/ poor ventilation). Our hair/jackets/tops/pants have a really strong oily smell that needs to be washed out ASAP. Talk about disgusting.... I've said this before and I'll say it again -- I give up on NoVA Chinese food (esp McLean). Almost everything is either overpriced or crappy quality or both. read more

Finally got around to visit this place someone told me about a long while ago. Pretty small place with about, I'd say, 5 to 6 tables but good amount of space separating them. I'd call it a mom and pops place and reminds me of some of the Chinese eateries I visited when in China. I ordered the beef soup noodles and opted to get the handmade shaved noodles (one of my fave types of noodles). This was perfect for a chilly day. The broth was beefy goodness. The meat is tender and not lacking in flavor nor quantity. The noodles, chewy yumminess and a good amount (wish there was more because I eat a lot, good for a normal person lol). Very comforting and warming feeling slurping down the noods and chomping on the beef. I paired this tasty soup with their daily fresh made sausages. Not your usual package sausage you can buy in an Asian supermarket. Their creation was well seasoned with a hint of spicy mala (numbing peppercorn flavor but without the peppercorns) and savoriness. The staff are friendly and follow safe guidance (mask, gloves, force fields, etc) when taking my order and serving the food. They have many other dishes that I have yet to try and look forward to returning for a bite. Until next time, be safe and healthy folks. Nomz! read more

This is the second time I've been to this place and I will definitely be back. The chow fen was exactly what I envisioned and I loved the small slices of ginger they put in. The beef was tender and added a hearty taste. The homemade dumplings were juicy and the skin is nice and crisp. The shaved noodles are a must! Very chewy noodles but not overly chewy with the perfect chili bite of the soup. The beef is really tender as well. Definitely recommend! read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I ordered the MILD beef hot pot for my son and I and it is so incredibly spicy, I can't even eat it (and I like a little spicy) and my son certainly can't eat this. This soup was $40 and was supposed to be our lunch and dinner (it's a large portion) but we can't eat it at all. I called and spoke to a manager who would not stop arguing with me. She said that their mild is actually spicy, when I pointed out to her that the online menu doesn't say that she argued to me that "well, our customers know that". I asked for a refund for the soup since we can't eat it and she not only refused, it pissed her off that I would even ask! This is my first Yelp review, even bad experiences I've had just never seem to be important enough to leave one, but I've never had a manager be so argumentative and rude. Worst customer experience EVER! After I told her I was going to be leaving her a bad Yelp review she begrudgingly agreed to take the dumpling appetizer off the bill and to send some new broth out. (Not that it will make a difference because all of the beef and veggies have the hot chili sauce all over them). I will never order from here again.

I loved the food here! Everything I tried was very flavorful. I truly couldn't pick a favorite dish because everything was so good. Dumplings - steamed dumplings filled with pork I believe, pretty flavorful, came with tasty chili oil for dipping. Spicy beef soup noodles - beef was super tender, noodles were tasty, soup was rich and deep in flavor. Eggplant with garlic sauce - super tasty. Mapo tofu - sauce was complex and tasty. Szechuan fish (I think) - fried battered fish pieces with lots of peppers and spring onions. Very yummy. The medium spicy level was tolerable for me but definitely left my stomach feeling a bit spicy after. I will say that the menu does not have descriptions of the dishes which makes it harder to choose things, but I honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything you choose! There was only one person working with the customers when I went which made the service a bit slower but I didn't mind that that much. I would definitely order food from here again! read more

Food is fabulous. It is very authentic and I can tell it is a homemade. I always order from online for pick up and give me estimate time at the end. It is never accurate. That is the problem. My husband always has to wait and many people are waiting for their food. The restaurant needs to take the situation very seriously. I would like to see improvement on online orders. read more

I would LOVE to give this place a four star, but the service just killed a star. Every time we come here, it's super busy (not their fault) but our food takes forever to come out. Also, the food that comes out isn't in sync. Our friend orders beef noodle soup, and his comes out at least ten minutes before our food does and it just awkward. I really like #2 beef hot soup. It really hits the spot on a cold day, I just wish the service was better. The place is tiny, avoid coming during rush hour. Parking is on the street. read more

I've been missing out my entire life in NJ having never had the pleasure of trying hot soup noodles. WOWZERS! These noodles are all handmade and you have a variety to select from along with the spice level. I went with mild and it definitely had a kick! The beef in these noodles was legit short rib or some other luxurious beef that I totally didn't expect. I think I fell in love . Oh and the dumplings were jam packed with lots of chicken and spices and perfectly handmade with the right balance of dough. So glad I discovered this place and will definitely order again! read more

Worst food I've had in ages. I ordered via UberEats. When my delivery arrived, I thought I got the wrong order. This was nothing like I got from this restaurant in the past. UberEats isn't reachable for help which was infuriating. But I'll deal with that tomorrow. So I went ahead and reordered. I got the same exact things. Spicy wontons without taste in a soup broth, soup wontons Wochok were the exact same and nothing like the soup dumplings they used to offer. The leek cakes were more like overly-doughy empanadas and the jajang Myron was dry and tasteless. $100 into the garbage. Literally. That's where the food is going. Now I feel sick. This place used to have such wonderful food. I'm so sad. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm need to call dominoes if I want dinner. Even that slime is better read more

First of all, let me start out by saying you do not come here for the service or the atmosphere. This hole in the wall is a no frill establishment and you will almost always wait for a pick up order. I've even had them cancel on my through Uber eats because the driver didn't want to wait for the food and they were backed up. However, that doesn't matter because this place delivers. I almost exclusively only get their Dan Dan noodles and dumplings but omg!!! The spice level and flavor is so good. It's as if you've stepped out of McLean and gone to Cheng du. I would highly recommend this place if you're not too picky about the small things. Great every night take out! read more
