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

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

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

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

Magic Noodle was recently revamped with a new and expanded menu with wonderful, amazing quality food and service. Truly a gem of Norman. I've been ordering Xi'an noodles from Magic Noodle ever since I made it back to Norman a year ago, and that trend is not stopping any time soon. Even with the extended menu, the Xi'an spicy noodles are my absolute favorite menu item. I also really love the homemade dumplings here, particularly the steamed bao and pot stickers. The handmade dough for the dumpling wrappers is what makes these dumplings so special! My partner ordered the Spicy Beef Soup the last time we ate here, and oh my gosh. I don't think I've ever had such good ma la (numbing) broth in Oklahoma, and it was 100% numbing like no other. The food is amazing, and I'm kind of glad we mostly order pick up because no matter the weeknight we're here picking up our food, this place is always packed! I also really appreciate the service here when I do dine in. They offer you peanuts to munch on when you're seated, and you order by scanning the QR code which is pretty neat! The family who owns this restaurant is so friendly and kind. I'm so happy to have Magic Noodle here - it's super authentic Chinese food I haven't had since I studied in China in college, and it's so worth a try and the drive to Norman! read more

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

Super great service. Great food. We will make this a regular place to eat Yep read more

Everything I've ever purchased here has been amazing. We love the spicy beef noodle and the black ramen. We also love the red bean buns

Wow! I have a new favorite restaurant in Norman. I had never seen someone hand pull noodles before, it was so cool. The waitress was amazing. She didn't hover a lot, but the second anyone needed something she was there. I had the Soup Dumplings and the Braised Beef Noodle Soup. The dumplings were super hot, not a lot of liquid inside, but really good flavor. I added some of the chili sauce and they were almost a meal by themselves. The Braised Beef noodle soup was really the star though. The beef was tender and Smoky and sweet, the broth was so flavorful, and the noodles were unreal. They were chewy and really absorbed a lot of flavor from the broth. I really loved it. Especially the baby bok choy. I couldn't finish it all so I took it home. I will definitely have to make this place a regular date night spot. read more

Tried the food here while staying at NCED. Went again it was that good. You won't be disappointed.

The only hand pulled noodle restaurant in Oklahoma. We loved the Lanzhou beef noodles, steamed beef dumplings, soup dumplings, salt roasted peanuts and pickled seaweed salad. Everything was so delicious and authentic. Feels like we are back in a local noodle restaurant in northern China. The Japanese ramen and spicy hotpot was great too.

Visiting norman for a couple weeks. I was greeted with a smile and promptly seated. Service was excellent from start to end. I ordered the spicy noodle soup, har gow, and xiao long bao. Everything was delicious. And made in house. I need need extra chili oil for the soup, but other than that, there were no compliants. The staff was very friendly.

Excellent, fresh, delicious food with great service! What more could you ask for? We had the fried pork dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, roasted beef noodles, and magic bun with sweet condensed milk.

Our first visit & we loved the homemade noodles. The servings are so large 2 people could share. None of us could finish all our noodles. We got 3 different dishes so we could try each other's. They were all good. The braised beef was really good! We enjoyed the cucumber salad. Mom actually wanted another order. They have sriracha if you want it spicy or you can add the sauce. The fried dumplings were good. Great service & we definitely plan to go back. read more

I had dinner at Magic Noodle with a couple of friends on a Friday night. The place was crowded, I actually got the last table for more than 2 people, and a steady stream of people came in during the 90 or so minutes we were there. Our server was not great. It was like he had somewhere else to be and wasn't really paying attention to what he was doing. We had to ask more than once for drink refills and to actually order was difficult to. He wasn't directly rude or anything but he was most certainly distracted. We tried most of the appetizers: cucumber salad, sliced beef cold cuts, fried dumplings, pork rolls, and pork soup dumplings. The pork rolls and fried dumplings were standard, you have seen these at numerous joints. They weren't bad, but certainly weren't unique. The soup dumplings were better, probably my favorite. They had great broth and the filling was seasoned well. The cucumber salad was strong, basically it is a quick pickling of the cucumbers. It was bright against the heavier appetizers. The sliced beef is just a cold version of what they put in the noodles. It was decent but all of us had to add hot sauce, there was essentially no seasoning. For my meal I went with the traditional lanzhou soup. It is a good sized serving for $8.99, I don't think anyone finished it. The noodles were a great texture and were clearly fresh. But, the broth was significantly lacking to me. It needed much more depth, broth is a hugely important part of a soup like this. It was just too weak. Had it been more flavorful this would have been a 4 star review. The vast majority of Yelpers had a great experience at Magic Noodle judging by the reviews, so maybe I just was there on an off day. I will definitely try it again. read more

BEST hand drawn noodles in OKC/Norman hands down!!!! I'm so glad I found this establishment! Having used to live in Philly's Chinatown, I have missed good Chinese noodles. These hit the spot! (The menu appears to have expanded and is now more expensive than some older reviews- possibly new ownership? I'm not complaining about the expanded menu though- everything is so tasty!) I highly recommend starting with steamed dumplings and soup dumplings as appetizers- next time I would order double, they were that good! We also tried the spicy Lan Zhou beef noodle soup and the Xi'an spicy noodles, and both were fantastic! The xi'an spicy noodles just slightly took the lead, but I already can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. Highly recommend. read more

I've been waiting for Chinese noodles in OKC. Magic Noodle rocks. Had the Taiwan style beef noodle soup. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff. The soup had great broth with a lot of beef. Could have used a few more noodles, ha ha scarfed them all down, delicious. This place is as good as any of the the joInts in Monterey Park, LA's China town. read more

I love this place!! My husband is addicted to their hot pot and I love the spicy beef noodle soup. Shrimp dumplings are the best I've had in the state. We usually order delivery, but the one time I ate in restaurant, the service was great and you could watch them making the noodles by hand right in front of you. read more

This is a great casual spot to grab lunch. The menu is limited but all dishes are spectacular ! The noodles are made in house and are TO DIE FOR! These hot dishes are great comfort food to warm you up on a cold day ! The Traditional Lanzhou Beef is my favorite noodle dish on the menu; it has great flavor and is not too heavy. My favorite starter is the steamed pork soup dumplings. The service is normally quick and the inside is clean but does not have a particularly aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. read more

Being Asian myself... I'm always on the lookout for a new delicious Asian place. This didnt disappoint! Let's be real, they had me at hand pulled noodles!! You can see the guy pulling the noodles by hand right when you walk in. Pork soup dumplings - juicy and bite sized. This was a decent appetizer. Not the best I've ever had but not bad either. Traditional lanzhou beef noodle soup - nice light broth with thin noodles. It had cilantro and green onions as well as well done beef brisket in it. Being Vietnamese it had similar qualities to a beef pho. The flavors mixed nicely to give a nice dish that wasnt too heavy. Xian spicy oil noodles - this dish packed a punch. Had some nice spice with garlic and salty flavors. They warn you ahead of time that there is no protein in it - which was fine. They did have some bok choy in it. The mix of spices made it very tasty. Overall, I'd definitely come back- mainly because I love noodles, especially hand pulled ones! It's a cute space and I recommend trying! read more
