This is a favorite Norman spot that I eat at once or twice a month. I love the hot cucumbers and the boiled buns!

If you haven't been to this place yet, you should go. I enjoyed it and will be back to try other items on the menu. I tried the seaweed salad, steamed soup dumplings, and the traditional Lanzhou noodle soup. The seaweed salad was ok. Nothing special was done to it. It was 3 stars. The soup dumplings were a little bland, but still good enough for me to eat all five by myself. I give them a 3.5 stars. The Lanzhou noodle soup was great. I love things like pho and ramen. This tasted like a delicious mix of the two. The noodles are hand pulled on sight and have a little stretchy spongy texture. The pieces of beef were seasoned and delicious. The broth had that consommé feel with a clean beef meets chicken flavor. It definitely cured my pho and ramen cravings. It gets a 4.5 stars The service was nice and prompt. The menu is small but that lets them keep quality high. read more

Magic Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

They have great soups with wonderful flavors. I highly recommend this place and their friendly staff.

I heard about Magic Noodle because of the Okie Dokie Foodie. I knew it was a place I had to try. We drove from Yukon and it was worth every mile and every penny. I was amazed by the menu. They give you peanuts to start out with. They are so yummy. We ordered the soup dumplings, pork belly burge, pan fried bao, spicy hot pot, and pan fried noodles. Everything was exceptional! The bao was the best I've ever had. Not only was the food amazing, the staff was wonderful. They made great recommendations and they were so attentive and made you feel at home. The kitchen is open and you get to see them hand pulling the noodles. It was by far one of the best, if not, the best, food experiences I've ever had here in Oklahoma. I will be back many times here in the future. read more

We got there and they were busy, we waited about 30 min. Definitely worth it! The poor server was running around and the effort from all staff was noticed. The food was delicious. I haven't found food that tasted this authentic in a while. The fresh noodles being made here were awesome! We will be regulars. read more

Magic Noodle - Spicy beef noodle - Noodles Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Dumpling and potstickers were delicious also the shaved noodles were great. Homemade handmade noodles were fresh and the perfect bite. Tried to seaweed salad didn't care for it at all but I was expecting a different seaweed salad so it's nobody's fault. The service was excellent and the food came out pretty quickly. Ambiance was okay it's a little tiny place but was busy with hungry patrons. I would definitely recommend it and I would definitely go back. read more

Loved this this place. Delicious food, variety, good service. Not my area of town but I will definitely be back. Okc / Yukon area needs more places like this! read more

Great food great customer service great waiters everyone should try it because you won't be disappointed a lot of food

We have been meaning to try this for awhile and finally made it in! The place was packed and we got the last table available! Despite being full, it was still relatively quiet and the atmosphere was great! It was really neat to be able to watch them make the noodles by hand. They made the noodles using the same process I saw during my time in Guangzhou, China! The steamed and fried dumplings/potstickers (jiaozi) were amazing as appetizers! Additionally, the hybrid bao type Rou Jia Mo (Chinese hamburger) was absolutely fantastic! It was the best I have found in the states after basically surviving on them during my time in Guangzhou! My wife and I have found our new local "go-to" Chinese restaurant! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Everything is sooo good here! The noodle dishes are amazing, but so are the bao and dumplings. I especially love the pork bao (both pan fried and steamed). The scallion pancakes are another favorite. read more

The best food! Go here fast fresh noodles made to order ! They were attentive great waitress and I liked the sitting .

Handmade slap noodles prepared in open kitchen. Everything is delicious. Great service!

A little hidden gem in Norman! Food is delish and great service. I was scared that this place was on the brink of shutting down, but the new management had really helped. read more

The first time the ramen was amazing, but this time I got an unexpected upcharge for the combo version and it wasn't even as good! Not sure I'll be back. read more

We came here from out of town. We shared the chicken ramen and it was delicious! The pork dumplings, spicy cucumbers, and fried rice are a must! Everything was excellent, very friendly service. Thinking about going to University of Oklahoma so I can eat here every week!! read more

My husband really wanted to try this place and boy were we disappointed; as soon as we walked the place had a distinctive odor, no not the food more like a wet rag. The food even worse. I ordered the hotpot it was not what I expected at all, I was unable to eat it, my pallet just didn't agree with it. I've had many hotspots before this one was something else. I don't recommend this place at all over priced for the quality of food they offer. read more

Delicious hand made noodles! The soup dumplings are also quite good! We will come here again!

The Xian sheared noodles are spicy and flavorful, but quite piquant. (YASSSS!) Extremely friendly and helpful staff, too. My other half and I are looking forward to again having the Lanzhou noodles on our next visit to Magic Noodle. (That's an old personal favorite of mine, anyway.) Clean and inviting atmosphere. Five easy stars! read more

Northern China family recipes. Best menu and dishes I've eaten. Amazing balance in fresh ingredients, we loved the dan dan noodles and other noodle broths. The soup dumplings are wonderful. All unique more unique with amazing flavor. This review is from a foody that lived in Manhttan and SF. read more

I got the TRADITIONAL LANZHOU BEEF NOODLE SOUP. The food was delicious, homemade noodles with a broth that tasted so similar to the Vietnamese dish Pho ! The noodles were really tasty, I had to finish the bowl! The SOUP DUMPLINGS weren't that great, they were dry and almost sticky with no moisture inside. As for CONDIMENTS/ ADD-ONS, they did not have limes, mint, or other add ins. They did have siracha and lemons but the lemons were in thin slices that looked like they should be in water cups. While the soup was enjoyable, the CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OVERALL ENVIRONMENT could be improved. There was no music playing in the restaurant and the lights were fully on. The servers were nice and polite but they could improve on the flow of their service because it was really awkward. Overall the soup saved the meal because of how it tasted; the whole dinner would have been a bust if wasn't good, but luckily the soup was delicious! read more

Magic Noodle - Traditional Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Great mom and pop shop. They make the noodles by hand in front of you. Really cool. Service was fast and food was great. I had the shaved noodle and wife had the chow mein. We will be back on our next trip to Norman. read more

Delivery drivers beware...you will wait 20 minutes to pickup your order. They tell you it's almost ready and then ignore you when you ask " how long will it take?" They start your order when driver shows up. Takes too long and you'll lose your tip! read more

Great little place. Noodles made in house and in front of you. Nice clean atmosphere with good service also. Next time I am in town I will come visit again. read more

Magic Noodle - Japanese ramen - Noodles Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

I hate that I'm giving this place a bad review, because I had such high hopes, and I wanted to give props to a place daring to make their own noodles. However, I was so disappointed in the dish I got that I didn't even finish it. I ordered the hot oil sheared noodles. I'm not sure if it was an off day or not, but the noodles were too thick and too stiff. I know what they should taste like. They didn't have any bounce or elasticity to the noodle, and the sauce was literally flavorless chili oil. I didn't find it spicy or savory or salty. I liked the veggies that it came with, and I liked the marinated egg I ordered. That's about it. I'm not sure where others have eaten, but I was born overseas and I'm well-traveled. I don't think I'll be going back to Magic Noodle. read more

First time seeing a hand-pulled noodle place in Oklahoma so decided to give it a try! Place was clean and service was fast. We were directed to a table the moment we walked in. I ordered the Xian Sheared Noodles and I thought it was pretty good. Our table also ordered their fried dumplings, soup dumplings and wood-eared mushroom dish. Everything was delicious and was brought out fairly quickly too. Will definitely come back to try other menu items. read more

Incredible everytime I eat here it's fantastic. The noodles are always perfect and the staff is so nice. This place is a gem!

The absolute best egg rolls ever! Great service and amazing food!! I haven't tried anything here that I didn't like!

Some of the best ramen that I've ever had! Everything was hot and flavorful! I got the Japanese ramen and it was wonderful!

This is our new favorite go to for our authentic Chinese fix. We have been twice this week. The noodles are handmade by the owner. I ordered the xian spicy noodle dish my husband got the traditional braised Taiwanese beef noodle dish. The cucumber appetizer was delicious as were the egg rolls. The Space is spotless and clean. Wonderful little gem tucked away on the heart of Norman. If you want a flavorful authentic Chinese noodle dish this is your place. It is not whitewashed or Americanized like most strip mall Chinese places. This is the real deal. If you are a foodie, don't skip this place! I will order the xian spicy hot oil sheared noodle and ask for the Taiwan braised beef on top next time! The meat was succulent and flavorful. You will not regret trying this place out! Friendly and competent service. Nothing to complain about at all- 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! read more

I've been here several times and the service was very good and the staff is always very informative about the dishes. The noodles are hand pulled right there and so neat to see. I've gotten some different soups and appetizers and they are all so good!! read more

Oh my goodness. Just absolutely delicious. Everything we tried, we love. I got the roasted noodle ramen with veggies and the wide noodles and I am head over heals for these noodles! They have such a delicious texture and the broth was so light and refreshing!! My boyfriend got the spicy beef ramen with the regular noodles and he enjoyed it very much. It wasn't too spicy and the noodles were perfect, though I think I personally preferred the wide ones I got. We also tried the soup dumplings and the scallion pancake; both of which we enjoyed immensely. The soup dumplings have a yummy pork meatball in the middle with a tangy, savory broth. The scallion pancake was light, crispy, and totally scrumptious when dipped in the sauce if comes with. Everything here is made fresh and by hand, you can even watch them make the noodles and it is so cool!! We also ordered the sesame balls for dessert; one of my favorite treats. You can taste the quality here, and the staff is so inviting and kind. They were patient with us as we excitedly navigated the menu for the first time and I felt very welcome here. Magic noodle is a unique experience that is definitely worth having! We will be coming back to try more new things very soon read more

It was okay maybe just not my style of Chinese food or maybe I didn't get the right thing. Employees were nice and service was good.

So just finished a meal. Excellent! Our waitress was the kindest most attentive waitress ever. Now it wasn't packed but at plenty of places a slow night means waitstaff is also slow--not here. She was super friendly, helping us differentiate what each dish was all about. So apps were fried dumplings and soup dumplings. They were both awesome. Now I've had the famous soup dumplings at Joes Shanghai in NYC, and these are pretty darn good! Not Joes good, but definitely worth the two extra orders we got. They are smaller and aren't filled with as much soup, but the flavor is great. The fried dumplings were excellent as well. I had braised beef soup, delicious, perfect noodles and tender beef. My son had the Langzhou soup, and of course I sampled, very Pho-like flavor and wonderful. Wife had the vegetable soup (name I forget) which she enjoyed and I thought was good but not as good as the Braised Beef or the Langzhou. We will be back, need to try the other dishes. Definitely worth a stop--a delicious new addition to Norman. It's also very good price. Downside, yeah it was a bit balmy in there. They're making soup so I get it but whoo I was sweating a bit and not bc of the spice-but the waitress must have noticed because it started to cool off at the end read more

Wow! I'm not super familiar with Chinese noodles but this was a treat! I love the complexity of the flavors and textures. Great people and great food. I can't wait to come back for the Xian spicy hot oil sheared noodles. read more
