    House Special Mei Fun (Singapore Rice Noodles), Dinner Special.
    Marlee R.

    Will order again! Huge fan of singapore rice noodles, but can be difficult to find and taste is often lacking. These are great! ordered medium spice. Dinner special under 'House Special Mei Fun.' Rice and side included.

    Small Wonton soup from dinner special

    This place is the best cheap Chinese takeout place in Rochester. 8 rangoons for $5. For a $1.75 you can get a decent portion of Wonton soup added onto a special. Mine had 4 Wonton which is nuts for one person. Highly recommend their combos bc you get rice/noodles with a side. And their food never makes my stomach weird and I've got a pretty sensitive stomach. They're my go-to!!

    Weird sweet sauce on sesame chicken. Not good at all.
    S M.

    Hmm where do I start. Let's start with the fact that they have a 10 year old(ish) boy and a 5 year old(ish) girl running the front the house including the cash register. We called for take out and guess who took our order? A young boy. Not sure how I feel about this.... And so the food. It was, well, nasty. The sauce tasted like something I have never had before and the chicken was weird and over chewy. 3 bites and it went in the trash. Never again will I order from here. I'm over here now waiting to see if I get sick. Hope not!

    Sweet and sour chicken, Broccoli and garlic sauce with tofu

    Amazing restaurant the food is delicious!!! I would recommend! Such a good place please go to this place!!! There was nothing that made me sick or disgusted, they have great quality and delicious food! Amazing

    Way to go on the pan fried noodles! I wont be calling again since your so rude to your customers!

    I really like that the food comes in plastic containers. We are staying at a motel nearby. They were quick. Food was hot and very good.

    Terrible food. Atmosphere was awful. Never ever again. The price says it all. Doesn't even deserve the one star this app made me give it.

    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. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women Food: [2.66/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 3/5

    Was in town for a conference and went out to dinner with friends. We chose this place because I…read morewanted to try the pho in the area. The Internet shows they close at 7:45 pm, but the store sign shows they close at 8:00 am. There is parking in the front and also in the back. The back parking looked like residential parking with the nearby homes, but the staff assured me it's their parking lot. My party of three got seated right away towards the window facing the front parking lot. We received laminated menus. The menu can be confusing because it doesn't show the full pricing for the pho options. I had to ask the waitress for clarification since there were pricing next to the meat options and pho options. I ordered the oxtail and rib beef pho which was a total of $26 plus taxes. The broth was flavorful, but cloudy with residue from the meat. The noodle was soft, but firm. The oxtail was soft and fall off the bone good. The rib was soft but tough. It was disappointing because I thought it would be soft and tender, like fall off the bone good. Also they forgot to include it in the pho soup and when I asked about it, they brought it out right away. Pho rating - I rate it 3/5. My friend order the cream cheese wonton. It was good, 3/5 good. Staff members were friendly. Just be aware that a staff member may tell you they will be closing soon. That happened to us this time. Overall the place was small, but sizable for a dinner outing with a small group of friends. I would go there again, but wouldn't go out of my way to order it.

    Restaurant is clean and has a good vibe. Service was prompt and friendly enough. Now to the dishes…read more Spring rolls were great actually, The sauce was done thick, with full flavor. Pad Thai has 0 spice when you order you have to ask for an ounce of spice or get ready to add loads of your own. Not an authentic flavor at all. My wife got the Pho it did not come with fish sauce in it (not a huge deal) Broth was too light therefore lacking a lot of the natural flavors aside from that it was good. Not saying avoid it just do not expect to be blown away.
