    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.

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

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!

You pay when you first arrive with cash or card (they only take visa and mastercard). Note that if you pay with a card and add a tip, they will just give you cash from the register for the tip amount to leave at your table when you leave. I would bring cash to tip your server with at your table. After paying, you can seat yourself anywhere and a server will come by and take your beverage order. The buffet includes unlimited soft drinks, drip coffee, and hot tea. Their Dr. Pepper is extra syrupy compared to normal fountain drinks, would recommend! Throughout the meal, the server will clear your empty plates and at the end of the meal they will drop off fortune cookies and towelettes. Crab days are Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. During these days they serve lil crabs. There is also a build your own noodle station where you can choose your mix-ins and sauces, and they'll fry it up for you. The fried rice is solid and the garlic toast is shockingly really good. Food is pretty fresh and warm, and there are people constantly refilling trays and cleaning the buffet.

So, I chose Monday to work remotely because, well, why not? For almost a year, I have been using a DoorDash pass for free. It means that I can get meals delivered for free if each order hits a minimum of $15. I decided to do delivery because it feels fancy to me when I'm in a hotel. I did a search on the DoorDash app and found Eddie Cheng Restaurant. It had menu items that appealed to me. What's funny to me was that it was across the street from the hotel. I could have easily placed my order and walked across the street to fetch it. I'm glad that I did delivery. My manager had an urgent task for me to complete on my final workday of 2024. Getting lunch delivered helped me get this task done quickly and efficiently. I ordered the following items: - Wonton soup - Shrimp with lobster sauce on roasted pork fried rice I didn't get any drinks because I had lots in my hotel room. When you go with delivery from this eatery, the restaurant decides if it's going to use its own delivery service or go with a DoorDasher. I had scheduled my food to arrive between 11:30 am and noon. The restaurant's own driver delivered my food. I had instructions to knock and leave the food at my door. This delivery person didn't read the instructions. He knocked on the door and expected me to open the door. I said politely to leave it at the door and I thanked him. He did. The wonton soup was amazing. The broth looked so clean. It was yummy. The wontons were huge and had a lot of filling. I'd order this soup again. It was excellent. The shrimp with lobster sauce on roasted pork fried rice wasn't what I had expected. I am so used to the version that New China does in Rochester with a lot of yummy lobster sauce that this one was different. It was basically a few large shrimp and veggies tossed in lobster sauce and pan-fried. They all were on top of fried rice. It was good. The shrimp and veggies were cooked well. The lobster sauce was salty. The fried rice seemed bland to me on its own, but was fine when I mixed the veggies and shrimp with it. My food came with crispy chow mein. It wasn't yummy. Pass! I got a fortune cookie, which I liked. We'll see if my fortune comes true... haha! It's good Chinese food. I'd get the wonton soup again, but would try something else off the menu. (8)
