We were in Rochester MN for 2 days. I looked at Yelp's Top Ten and noticed First Meeting Noodle…read more Right up our alley. Watching your noodles being pulled and boiled is a true treat. We ordered Sichuan Wontons in Chili Oil and Scallion Pancakes for a first course. The wonton noodle was the best I've ever been served. We had Green Beans and Curry Chicken Noodle for mains. We brought lunch ingredients to make sandwiches at our conference. Instead, we returned for more wontons and pancakes. Our companion was interested in calamari (spent ~45" too long in the fryer) and a bowl of chicken noodle soup that was too big to finish. I thought the broth was good, but I'm partial to a saltier ramen style broth. Shops with hand pulled noodles should offer small scissors. You could pull on a single noodle in your bowl like forever!

We walked into First Meeting Noodle for a late lunch on a Sunday at 1PM and there was surprisingly…read morea line of customers waiting for seats. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes before getting a table. Beef Burrito ($9.50) - We ordered with cilantro on the side as one of the people in our party has the mutated OR6A2 gene. It's a pretty simple dish. I'm not sure if they make their scallion pancake in house or not. It's rather dense and not really that flaky, salted well and has the thick hoisin sauce to boost the sweetness and saltiness. The beef is relatively tender roasted beef shank, sliced thin, dressed simply. Most of the flavor here is from the hoisin. (4/5) Oil Splashing Noodle ($10.50) + Beef (+$3.75) - Starting with the pulled noodles - these are excellent. Pulled long with very consistent thickness, so everything cooks to the same delicious level of bounce. The hot oil sauce, unfortunately is sub par. It's far, far too sweet, almost like eating a dessert, and while there's a balanced amount of vinegar acidity and some nuttiness, there's no heat at all despite the redness of the oil. There's also a good amount of chopped garlic and peanut right on top, but they get lost in the sweetness. Ordering with beef just adds some sliced beef shank, the same as used in the burrito. It's a fine addition albeit not very exciting. (2/5) Taiwanese Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup ($13.50) - Again, the noodles are excellent here, although they get softer the long they sit in the soup, which is to be expected. The broth here is also far too candy sweet, although this a bit more flavor complexity here from the beef braising spices, the beef itself, and some tomato umami. There's just enough flavor that the broth doesn't feel bland, but it's still very weak compared to a good Taiwanese beef noodle. There's a couple of slices of tomato, an almost invisible amount of pickled mustard (suan cai? zha cai? I can't tell given how little they give). Finally the beef brisket which is also quite weak. It's lean and I believe not braised for long enough, resulting in it being very tough and stringy. (2/5) I feel like these dishes have been adjusted too far to suit the Midwestern American palate. The food served at First Meeting Noodle is far, far too sweet for my tastes - it's a bad sign when a dish that's supposed to be spicy and umami foremost, then tangy, has sweetness as by far the strongest flavor. Then again, this is probably the only hand pulled noodle place within an hour drive, so maybe I should give them some slack.

And portion was large enough to feed two people easily. Bill was $20. No fortune cookie and woman at the counter not welcoming. As far as Chinese restaurants are concerned Kung Pao was a quality dish.

The cook was Asian, so that was kinda good! But, overheard a patron inquire about origin, and he stated Malaysia. So, I ordered wonton soup two times, combo fried noodles, beef , pork, chicken and shrimp, hot tea and 4 egg rolls. I have to say, the dining room help... she was kinda " cold". Our food came and our order of Winton soup, was a cup with three pieces wonton! Holy smokes! Guess it's a region thing! The egg rolls were actually really good, after the four, I ordered three more LOL! Noodles were good, had taste and no complaints! I was surprised! They did have Chinese hot mustard! We were the solo people in dining room for a while, then a family of four and an elderly couple sat in. My child (5yrs old) had a infatuation with a gum ball machine, centered near entrance and near this elderly couple, who was dining a few feet from us. The older gent, either didn't like little kids, or because we looked different in their hood! Either way, his rudeness was felt in the sir, we paid and we left. They probably would had gotten a better review, but the hostess, was more bothered with us dining there, then doing her job, and seeing to it that we were served accordingly. I don't plan to be in Winona again, or anytime soon! I heard that's where Winona Ryder was raised? I'd like to think, not all country folks aren't as the ones who made my visit, kind of uneasy feeling

The delivery took about an hour past the estimated time, so a couple people weren't able to wait for their food. I got the Szechuan beef combo with pork fried rice. The egg roll and rice were good. I did not care for the main dish whatsoever. The portion was plentiful but the veggies were cut really small and there was a spice used that threw the taste off. The food was delivered in a big box with plenty of sauces included, so that was nice. And to my knowledge, there weren't any errors with the orders, which was outstanding. I might try this place again, but would definitely try something other than the Szechuan beef.
