My husband and I wrapped up our day at the Mall of America with dinner at Master Noodle. The restaurant is part of the food court on the third floor of the mall. We had a pork noodle bowl and a beef noodle bowl. Our food came out really fast. Once it cooled down, the food tasted really fresh and authentic. This is a great place for noodles and Asian cuisine. I highly recommend Master Noodle!

Tried the MOA location and was pleased to see them there. Small setup with only a handful of small tables and a small counter for dining in. The food is tasty. The wontons are really good, legit! The noodles taste homemade (I think they are) and in a tasty sauce...not too salty. Fried rice is surprisingly pleasant and made with the smaller, Japanese looking rice. Service is only to place your order. You are responsible for clearing your table if you're lucky enough to get one. Portions aren't large like at Americanized Chinese restaurants so don't come here for large portions.

So happy to see that the MOA finally has a Master Noodle! This is a super authentic Chinese/Taiwanese restaurant, and pretty much everything on their menu is great. I definitely recommend the garlic noodles (can be ordered with many meats, but I like shrimp), the "fungus" - chewy and spicy black mushrooms, the "burrito," which is a Taiwanese style pancake and hoisin appetizer, the wonton in chili oil, and the dan dan noodles, but again everything is amazing. Service was fast the one time I ate here, and there's some seating in and near the restaurant, but you can also take your meal to the food court seating. Takeout is also available! This is definitely one of my new go-to spots to eat at the MOA!

I came here for the "Beef Burritos" and they did not disappoint. I loved the texture and the flavors. It was simple but tasty. The rest of the items were not the same quality. I may be biased because I've had great Korean scallion pancakes and these were paper thin and I didn't taste scallion at all. I loved the dipping sauce though so they were easy to devour. The Steamed dumplings were ok but not worth coming back for. The wontons although looked beautiful they lacked flavor. It literally tasted like plain cream cheese. I don't think they add any additional flavor or sweetness to the cream cheese. It just tasted really bland compared to every other cream cheese wonton I've ever tasted. We also ordered the spring rolls which sadly no one ate after trying 1 bite. They were very bland and the veggies inside were mushy/sogggy. Dipping sauce couldn't even save these. We did not try their dish they're known for "noodles." This review is solely on appetizers.

Noodles were tasty. I could see them making it in the back. Fresh made noodles good. They have number system to get food out but not always numerical order. It's mainly a counter but has a few spots to sit. Adequate but often full of patrons.

I've stopped by 3 - 4 times and am continually surprised by the quality of the food. Had the beef brisket noodle soup and pan fried pork bun and the quality is not very different from an alley in Taipei. (I'm a native Taiwanese.) In fact, these two items may be the best available to a local without involving a boarding pass. The soup was absolutely correct in flavor and the noodles were hand pulled. The dough on the pork bun was freshly made. Surprisingly, the offering in their Edina store is not nearly this good. That chef is heavy handed with the MSG while this chef doesn't use any at all. It's an amazing offering among all the plastic food in the big Mall.

HALF of the portion they give you of pineapple fried fried

Great dumplings! Dishes advertised as spicy were fine for me, as a MN girl. Garlic chicken was very flavorful.

Northern Kitchen - Mapo tofu, pork belly and spicy beef stir fry- good flavors

Northern Kitchen

(24 reviews)

I wanted something spicy Chinese and gave this place a shot. Spoiler alert, it wasn't but I also…read morehave a pretty high tolerance, and we are in Minnesota (no shade). I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

This is one of those low key hidden gem restaurants that serve authentic food without a doubt,…read morebecause it's not only difficult to locate, but also relatively exclusive in terms of its clientele. I enjoyed everything I have had here so far and definitely appreciated the authentic aspect of the food they have. The only improvement I could suggest was the taste of a lot of their dishes, as flavors tended to be on the mild side. It doesn't mean their food is any less authentic, though, and I would recommend all that are looking for authentic Chinese food to visit here. Individually, I ordered dishes that I would normally order in Chinese restaurants, so while I am not sure if there's anything I can necessarily recommend yet, I will say that I thought every dish I have had were above average in comparison to the same dishes I have had elsewhere. My favorite so far is the fried pork in scoop (锅包肉) and I don't even regularly eat pork. There was a nice layer of sweetness and sourness witht the sauce outside the pork pieces. The vegetable dishes like eggplant in garlic sauce (鱼香茄子), green beans with garlic (干煸四季豆), and Chinese cabbage (手撕包菜) are all tasty enough. The Chinese cabbage contained a lot of vinegar, and I bet some people would enjoy that. I didn't taste enough cumin in the cumin lamb (孜然羊肉) dish, but there was an abundant amount of lamb and I appreciated it. The spicy pepper chicken (辣子鸡) was very delicious and had the right amount of spice in my opinion. There is a Relaxing Healthy Center that's connected to the restaurant and apparently that establishment has been very popular, especially in the evenings. I have not visited there yet but I heard that it was similar to saunas in China, and I would love to visit there soon. Regardless, this is a hidden gem, hole in the wall, type of spot and I would definitely recommend everyone.

I've been to Grand Szechaun at least a dozen times over the last year and I'm not really sure how…read moreto review all the times I've been there in one post. But I've dined-in, ordered take-out, and have also done a catering order for 40 people and this place always delivers every single time. Service is solid as expected. The outside of the place is unassuming. But that doesn't really matter, because the food was delicious. There's a large amount of seating available. The menu can be a bit overwhelming, but I have a few favorites that I always order and then I try to add one or two new dishes to try as well. Anyway, a list of my favorite dishes below: Quick fried crispy fish fillet: this is the GOATed dish. The fish it meaty, incredibly crispy, and the black beans on top add this super nice saltiness when eaten together with the rice, it's perfect. Orange chicken: this isn't your typical orange chicken like Panda Express. This stuff is flavorful, a bit sweet and more caramelly than orange juicy. I will admit sometimes though that it can be a bit battery, but that's seldom. Szechuan green beans: yum. salty, tender. The perfect side veggie to make me think I'm eating healthy. Achoy: this veggie tastes clean but it's also so flavorful. My favorite veggie here by far. The pieces are a little long so it can be difficult to eat sometimes with a spoon. Cumin beef: tender, spicy, and salty. flavorful and always delivers. Salt and pepper squid: this used to be one of my favorites, but over the last 2 years it's become more of "onions with squid" rather than "squid with onions". Nonetheless, the squid is crispy and salty, and pairs very well with rice. Beef chow fun: a classic. nice soy flavor and tender chewy flat rice noodles. I do like Peking Garden's beef chow fun more but this is pretty good too. During lunch, they also have a sliced noodle that I usually get with minced pork sauce. It's a large portion and the noodles are seasoned with a spicy oil and minced pork. The noodles are thick and chewy but melt in your mouth, and the flavor is just filled with umami. It's a nice mix up from the rice staple.

Worst sesame chicken I've EVER had. Looks like sweet and sour chicken but doused in sweet and sour…read moresauce? Horrible.
