Magic Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Came here because of the Yelp reviews. I'd have to say I can not agree with this one. First off, the potstickers were the best item of the 4 things we ordered. Before that! The pricing on the huge window outside is not accurate! It's about $2-3 more on the menu inside! We ordered: Potstickers: pork- was juicy and hot. Pan fried bao: a little bland. There's was nothing "wow" about it. Chicken stir fried noodle: it looked great. Great color, decent amount of toppings. Noodle had a good chew. I think we're missing all the salt though. Was bland. No flavor. Singapore noodle: NO. The noodles were overcooked and soggy/saucy. Also lacking flavor and salt. The shrimp was really tough and hard. Overcooked or very not fresh. Place was a little dark and dreary. read more

Magic Noodle - Prices on wall not accurate anymore - Noodles Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Been dying to try magic noodle out after tons of ravings reviews from friends, so we got a few different things to try out yesterday. Their biggest pro is of course their noodles. They're handmade, fresh, and chewy, all good things you want in a noodle. But I do think they have a little more to improve on as far as flavor goes. I got the Xian beef hot oil noodles and while the chilli oil was good, the dish was overall pretty underwhelming. It not only needed more meat on the plate, but definitely more flavor in the sauce. Also got some shaved noodle soup - and the soup was pretty good! Little salty but delicious. Their curry fried rice was a little disappointing - the rice was kinda mushy and if its anything fried rice shouldn't be, it's mushy. Also got the pork belly burger for my hubby and that was also very underwhelming. Overall, noodles itself were really good. But the dishes were underseasoned and lacked flavor. Wish we loved this place more after all the rave reviews! read more

Three of us dined on a weeknight. The service is friendly, but the food was just average. We had bao buns, Singapore curry noodles, a pork soup, dumplings, and a milk tea. The dishes were all good, but I would not call them much different from comparable restaurants. The value is decent for the food quality... but the service is above average! My rating would be 3.5 if available. Somehow I failed to take any photos! read more

Such good flavors and a big bowl. Their service was very friendly and we received our food quickly. Very great noodles, would love to come here again! The restaurant is clean and peaceful inside. read more

This noodle shop was quite impressive. One of the highlights was watching the chef hand-pull fresh noodles right in front of us--such a cool experience. I ordered the Lanzhou beef noodle soup, and the broth was absolutely delicious: rich, beefy, and not overly salty. The noodles had great texture and chew, though I wasn't as impressed with the sliced beef. It was braised in soy sauce, which added good flavor, but the meat itself tasted a bit off, maybe textured? compared to other places I've tried. We also tried the pork soup dumplings. Unfortunately, they were a letdown--bland and lacking the soupy burst you'd expect. The dipping sauce was heavy on the vinegar, which overpowered the subtle flavors. Service was friendly but on the slower side and not particularly attentive. read more

Service was mediocre and owner stares you down like a hawk in the building which is unsettling. Broth is disappointing and you'll get more meat on your pizza at papa John's next door than in your food in here. read more

My mates had a good view of noodles being pulled by hand. We all enjoyed the food we shared - steamed vegetarian dumplings, crispy salted chicken, and fried rice. Service was great. I plan to return. read more

My long search for a traditional Chinese hand pulled noodle shop in OK, the ones often depicted as late night street vendors in historic Chinese dramas, has officially ended. I've finally found it. What I love most about this noodle shop is they hand-make your noodles fresh, right in front of you. As a result, the noodles have a very good texture. The noodles are soft but able to retain a firm bite, and that is the "magic" in Magic Noodle. This noodle shop is small with 4 workers running the shop. It was quite busy and can get "hot" due to the open kitchen. Does it have the best broth? NO. It's all about the noodles, and I am all in. Words cannot express my love for this type of restaurant: unique, traditional, cultural while providing us with fresh products, something that has lost with mass production of food since the 19th century. Two roads diverged in a yellow woods, and Magic Noodle took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference for me. [1] 1. Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken. 1915. read more

I don't think they know what a Singapore noodle dish is. Basically stir noodles in chicken broth powder.

Service and ambiance were fine, says hand pulled noodles, saw a lot of frozen items being pulled out of the freezer. Was very obvious with the bao buns we had. Was disappointed given the high reviews online. There are better spots in Norman. read more

We had a nice experience overall and truly enjoyed the food. One of the chefs made fresh noodles right in front of us, which was a lot of fun to watch. The server mentioned that each person receives fresh noodles, and I even recorded a video of it. However, she forgot about the side dish we ordered, which didn't arrive. I mentioned I thought it might still be cooking, but that's not possible since it was pre-made shredded potatoes, which were actually quite good. Despite a few hiccups with the service, I really liked the food, so I'll overlook the mistakes. I ordered a sweet blackberry tea, but it was too sugary for my taste, so I ended up throwing it away. I didn't want to complain too much since the server had already made several errors. For instance, she thought eggs would be fine for a vegetarian dish, but I had no way of knowing that the noodle soup would contain them, as it wasn't mentioned on the menu. All she offered was an apology, so it would have been better if she had suggested an exchange. Overall, I enjoyed the meal despite the issues. read more

Our first time going through this area on our way to Oklahoma City and pleasantly surprised by the Chinese food offerings here! Food was SPOT ON! We got green onion pancake, stir fry chicken noodles, pan fried buns (yeah!), Singapore mei fun (I can't recall what they called it on the menu). Everything was delicious, we did not leave anything behind. There was a nice touch with the salted peanuts at the table. It's been a long time since I saw that served at a table. We saw someone hand pulling noodles when we first walked in, we'll have to order that dish the next time we visit! It truly was a magical food experience. read more

What I like -Service is friendly and fast -place is clean -food is home made and not frozen which you can experience with the fresh quality and flavor of the food. The standout for me was the rib noodles that I had, rich broth flavor, and the ribs were really good. Unfortunately, the soup dumpling is what I didn't like the most but was still better than 90% of restaurants that offer soup dumplings. If or when I find myself in Norman again I'm sure I will be back. Good Chinese comfort food done right. read more

The inside is clean and there were two other parties there when we sat down. You can order by scanning the QR code on the table which was pretty neat, but you can't lay on the site, just order. I ordered the hand pulled noodle stir fry with chicken and my boyfriend got the black ramen. My boyfriend's ramen came out way before my food. I wish they came out at the same time, so we could enjoy them together. My dish came out about 5-7 minutes after his ramen and it was so good! It was huge to say the least. I could only eat a portion of my plate and I'll have enough for lunch tomorrow! The noodles were chewy and flavorful and the dish has lots of veggies! I really enjoyed that dish! I decided to try a dessert that was a steamed bun fried maybe? And condensed milk to dip in. I've had this dish before when I lived in Hawaii and it was a little different when I had it. The buns came out steamed nice and pillowy soft at the other place, here it is a little different like they are fried or dipped in a sugary substance. I think I prefer them steamed, so I can pull apart the bun to dip in the sauce. Still pretty good though and I enjoyed my lunch! read more

We ordered takeout on a Sunday evening. It was done super quick and the food was super fresh. The soup dumplings were so good and the pan fried bao was super crispy. I had the Dan Dan noodles, the broth was super flavorful. The ramen was the same noodles as the Dan Dan noodles and wasn't ramen noodles but the broth was good. Such a great spot for delicious Chinese food! read more

Wow! Hands down best noodle place! We went on a Friday to try something new, loved it so much we went back the following Monday. We tried the Japanese black ramen, pad Thai, Dan Dan noodles, soup dumplings, spicy ramen, pan fried pork bao buns, matcha latte, latte milk tea, cappuccino milk tea, and the fried bread. Service was amazing and everyone was really attentive. Noodles are made fresh and you have a clear view of how the guy does it. The matcha is a little strong but I liked that. Definitely recommend! read more

Hand-spun noodles... 'nuff said. I have not had ramen this good in so long (and that's after a road trip through California). This is what I would expect every authentic handmade noodle house to be like. Everything is fresh and super tasty - every bite is meant to be savored! I had Japanese ramen and soup dumplings... will come back for more!! read more

Although I have ALWAYS wanted to try this place, I just never got the chance to until a few weeks ago. stopped by Magic Noodle and absolutely loved everything we got. It's a small/comfortable environment and we were seated immediately. We pretty much ordered everything we wanted right away: the soup dumplings, fried dumplings, shrimp dumplings, scallion pancakes, hand pulled spicy oil noodles, and some kind of fried rice which I don't have pictures of. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! Seeing them prepare the noodles was so cool. Everything was flavorful, affordable, filling, and perfect for a cold fall day. They had the best fried rice I've ever eaten: soft, loads of meat, and very very flavorful. The soup dumpling is also the best I've had in Oklahoma, and I'm from the northeast where soup dumplings are common, huge, and so juicy! I'm glad to have found something comparable in Oklahoma. I wish I lived closer just to be able to go more often and try more things on the menu, but I will definitely be back to try this place again! read more

The spicy cucumber is ok. Not much on the side of flavor. Everything else was very tasty. There is a lot more noodles and not as much meat and veggies (2 pieces bok choy). Soup dumplings and pan fried bao (pork) were very good. read more

I've been wanting to dine here for awhile and finally my husband and I went last Saturday around 8pm. I think we were treated by the owners daughter who also seated us. There are a lot of choices to choose from and so I ordered 2 green onion pancakes because we loooove those! And an order of spicy cucumbers. We took the left over marinade with us to pour over our veggies at home.I had the beef burrito (not Mexican type) and French fries. My husband had noodles with a meat combo. Whoa, yummy and flavorful! Great service and we got to see the owner make the fresh noodle by stretching and pulling them before being cut! Totally traditional and unexpected to see. We will be back to order other items we didn't try sometime soon. read more

Excellent noodles and dumplings, very traditional and certainly "magic" in terms of quality. There is a bowl of Chinese peanuts at every table which is cool. I got the hand-made noodles with lamb and it was fantastic. Also appetizers of the beef roll-up, steamed dumplings and soup dumplings. Has the sweet red bean buns for dessert as well. They also sell an assortment of Chinese brand drinks and I got an orange flavored one as well as a honey tea beverage. Overall highly recommended and you must experience the "magic" of magic noodle first hand to believe it! read more

The place was clean and the service was very good. o didn't take any pictures but it wouldn't help. The ramen looked great and so did the meat buns but the flavor and texture were ok. the dough for the buns felt a little undercooked and the meat mixture was good but didn't wow you. the ramen noodle texture was great. the flavor of the beef in the spicy beef ramen was weird. the broth was also ok. the first few bites were weird and it grew in me but I didn't want to go back. the spice level was great though. overall it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Great service, excellent good, awesome menu selection. It was pretty neat watching them make the noodles.

I have been wanting to try this place since it opened but I'm hardly ever on this side of Norman. So glad we made it though. The food was amazing. I got the DanDan Noodles and we split the Pan-Fried Bao. I appreciated the peanuts on the table while we waited on our food. Everything is made fresh so it takes a little while to make. The staff was really nice. The place is cute and casual. I appreciated the ambience of the Asian music they had playing though do wish the music wasn't quite so loud. We were sat near the speaker and it gave me a headache. We definitely be back again. read more

Great hand pulled noodles ! Very friendly and helpful service and flavorful broth. The noodles are chewy and delicious. Perfect for cold winter day. We got pan fried bao, steamed bao, steamed dumplings, pot stickers and fried chicken dumplings. All appetizers were delicious. Probably liked the fried chicken dumplings and pans fried bao the most. We ordered the Lanzhou beef noodle soup, pork rib noodle soup and Japanese black ramen. And had sesame balls with red bean for dessert. If you like spicy- ask for the super secret chili oil. read more

The space is small but we arrived late afternoon with only a few other tables occupied. Pleasant service but once receiving our food, she didn't come back until she brought the check.

This place is definitely in our top 3 ramen places. read more

Amazing handmade noodles and dumplings! I can't wait to come back to try some more dishes.

Hand pulled noodles right in front of us! The flavor was out of this world! I wasn't sure what to order so I basically asked the server what is most popular for a first-timer. I can't remember what we had but it was delicious! Never rushed by the wait staff. The employees were so kind and friendly. Ambiance was low key and comfortable. I'm getting hungry just thinking about those hand-made noodles. Please check them out, you will love it! read more

Loved our food and the dancing toddler running down the bench seating! Every dish came out hot and fresh, and the house made noodles are perfection. Shrimp dumplings were like eating a cloud. Broth for the spicy beef soup was not very spicy but it was super flavorful and there is chili oil on the table to adjust to taste. Will definitely return! read more

What a hidden find! We came here after a work conference and were pleasantly surprised to find such an authentic spot all the way out here. They make all their noodles by hand, with diners able to clearly see the chefs at work from start to finish. I was torn between the traditional Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup and the hot oil sheared noodles and ultimately ended up with the sheared noodles. After properly mixing, the dish was ready to be enjoyed. The hand made noodles had just the right amount of bounce to them and soaked up all that delicious sauce. Just a fair word of warning! Watch out for hot oil splatters! Or you will lose a shirt (as one of coworkers found out). One of my few complaints here was that I wish there was more meat in the sheared noodles - other than that, everything else (including the apps) were spot on. They had mentioned a new location will be opening in OKC proper so I eagerly await that so I can try the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup. Thanks again for such a delicious, authentic meal! read more

Yum!!! I love good hand pulled noodles with a savory but light broth and guess what magic noodle has it! So I got some noodles with beef in a savory but light broth. The beef was mostly soft with some chewy pieces. Lots if beef and I love having a little texture variety. My partner got the veggie noodle with egg and that was bright and delicious. Truly enjoyed the meal. I got to try his and I enjoyed the broth and egg. Noodles are thin and chewy! The price was reasonable. Service on point. We were checked on but not harassed which is perfect. Food tasty. Defiantly worth driving out of our way to try! read more
