    Garlic chicken with extra noodles
    Jim S.

    I was temporarily staying nearby so ordered out from Master noodle. Ordering was easy via their website and it looks like they deliver (by Door dash ?) as well. I ordered the steamed pork dumpling and the garlic chicken with wide noodles and extra noodles for $4 more. Was well worth it. Portion is huge, noodles are perfectly chewy. Dumplings are small but delicious and priced well. I picked up and appreciated the parking behind the building as it's on a busy street that includes the light rail .

    Parking was easy. It's been a while since I came here to eat and I love the fact you can pick the type of noodles for your dish! Popcorn chicken was amazing. A lot of seating.

    Great noodle place with affordable prices. We got garlic chicken noodle and chicken mushroom noodle soup. Garlic chicken is sweet and sour with a little bit of spice. If you like sweet and sour chicken, this dish is for you. Chicken mushroom noodle soup was a little bland. But I was sick, and this was filling, warm and heartfelt. They also gave generous amount of black mushroom, which I really like. I would not get this soup if I am not recovering from cold or not sick. Chili oil was also tasty and you can tell it's made in house. But, if you are a vegetarian or don't eat a lot of meat, your options are very limited. Service was fast and you can even scan menu and order directly through the code. Vibes are cool and we went around 4. So it was quiet and chill. We will be coming back!

    Food was filling and portion sized pretty large. The noodles were definitely hand pulled and soaked up a lot of flavor. Service was decently quick and ambiance was nice overall. Definitely similar to Lanzhou noodle shops in LA. :) I do wish there were more green beans in the green bean stir fry. The seats did have some crumbs but otherwise the place was pretty clean. I definitely see how this is a nice lunch spot for families and students on a break.

    Sichuan Wonton in Chili Oil

    Stopped in here with the wife for some fuel after a blood donation. We loved it alot! You had the choice of either ordering directly from the table via QR code or waiting for a server to come to your table. The staff was very nice and helpful. We ordered the scallion pancakes, Sichuan wonton in chili oil and the Mongolian Beef entree. Everything was delicious! The scallion pancakes were a little bit thinner than I'm used to but the flavor was great especially with the provided sauce. The noodles were excellent just the right consistency that you get out of hand-pulled noodles. The restaurant was overall very quiet and laid back. With pretty artwork and a nice vibe. The window where you can see them making the noodles was a really nice touch. Parking was a little tricky (make sure to park in back) but if you can snag a spot you don't have to worry about street parking. We'll definitely be back one of these days for more noodles!

    Sichuan Wonton in Chili Oil

    Very cute and cozy spot in Saint Paul! Hand pulled noodles? Who can complain about that! We ordered the sichuan wonton in chili oil as an appetizer, and LOVED it! For main entree, I had the Garlic Chicken Fried Noodles, and my partner had the curry noodles. I'd go back again to try more of their menu, there was lots of options! It's also a fun addition to be able to watch the noodles get created. A little insider scoop to the process!

    Taiwanese Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup
    Nancy W.

    I ordered online for a pickup order. Things went seamlessly: by the time I arrived, my order was awaiting my arrival. There was a small parking area behind in the back, which I appreciated. There was a small dining area if you wanted to dine in which looked similar to most Asian restaurants. We ordered: - Cheese Wontons (4/5) - Scallion Pancakes (4/5) - Pan Fried Pork Dumplings (5/5) - Moo Shu Fried Noodles (4/5) - Taiwanese Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup (5/5) - Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles (5/5) The ratio of veg to noodle was off on the Moo Shu Noodle dish, and it lacked seasoning or any type of sauce. It just needed something more...it was just a pile of chewy noodles. Albeit, the noodles themselves were awesome, but I found the dish lacking. The pork dumplings were among my favorites. The beef noodle soup was amazingly good. I've been meaning to try this place for a long while; I'm glad we finally tried it. I look forward to a return visit.

    You know a place is incredible when you can't wait to write your help review :) I was visiting a bookstore on the same strip as Master Noodle. I had heard excellent things about their hand-pulled noods so I was keen to try them. I went for a Sichuan wonton in chilli oil and then the Sichuan dan dan noodles. What can I say? I love spicy food. The server was excellent, polite, and straightforward. I asked about the plum juice, and he told me it was overly sweet. He even brought it out for me to see that it has 51g of sugar! Anyway!!! Wontons in chili oil are good, salty, and slightly spicy. The dan dan noodles were so so good. I didn't want to put my chopsticks or bowl down until I had vacuumed everything into my stomach. Fast service, it wasn't very busy around 5pm on a Wednesday. It was clean, and it has a private parking lot in the back. I look forward to trying more items on the menu.

    King Pao Fried Noodles
    Tricia K.

    I have been to Master Noodle several times and love the food. I always get the scallion pancakes, they are so yummy. I tried the king pao noodles this trip and was really satisfied. Filled with veggies, chicken and peanuts, plus a large serving of noodles. The flavor is great, I wish it would have been a bit spicier. I'll remember for next time! I also really enjoy the Thai tea. The space is typically loud, but that doesn't bother me. The only complaint I have is our booth looked like it was duck taped together. Service was quick and easy.

    We had a girls night out and our friend chose this place for the month. The food was super tasty and as you can tell in the photos we were hungry that most of the food is gone...lol The scallion pancakes are my favorite and I could have the eaten the whole plate of them. We also tried two new apps to us; the Szechuan wontons and the pork mini buns. They were both good, the wontons had alittle heat but nothing we couldn't handle. For my entree I got the garlic chicken fried noodles with little heat since I wasn't sure how spicy they would be, they were yummy and was a huge portion. I also got a brown sugar milk tea to drink but forgot to take a photo. The service was great, our waiter didn't mind that we sat and chatted after we finished eating. They were able to answer any questions we had and the food came out pretty fast. I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes, everything looked and smelled delicious.

    Noodles and bubble tea
    Alexie S.

    This place was really good!! I loved the noodles and the bubble tea was great. Our waiter was polite and great as his job. The ambiance was warm and comfortable. We had a great date night here. Will definitely be back sometime!

    After living nearby for years (and since moving), I finally made it to Master Noodle, and I can't believe it took me this long! After hearing rave reviews from friends, my husband and I decided to use this chilly Sunday as the perfect opportunity to give it a try and we were not disappointed. We'll definitely be back, probably again and again. If you're a mushroom lover, the mushroom and chicken soup is an absolute must - rich, savory, and packed with flavor. My husband was initially unsure about the braised beef ribs on the bone, as the fat might be a turn-off for some. But once he dug in, he was hooked! The meat was tender, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the sweet-savory broth, which had just the right kick of spice. It would have been nice to have some of the meat pre-chopped in the soup, but it didn't stop him from finishing every last bite! We also couldn't get enough of the dumplings. The dough was perfectly soft, and the filling was a heavenly combination of well-seasoned, tender meat. Yum! We were so impressed, we were already recommending it to friends before we even left.

    Camille C.

    The food was cold. We needed to ask for more tea, continuously. The dumplings were hot and good! Parking around back was easy and accessible.

    Do they have gluten free noodles?

    Are the braised eggs shell-on?

    No, it's peeled.

    Any vegan options?

    Typically hand pulled noodles are made with just flour, water and salt, so the noodles themselves should be vegan by construction. They have some vegan options in the cold dishes (Sichuan noodles), it is worthwhile to inquire with the restaurant if…

The restaurant is spacious and can easily accommodate larger groups of people. The food is from what I remember has been consistent and delicious, the only thing that's notable changed is the price, which can be on the pricier side nowadays unfortunately. This time around I took a small group of friends here and ordered some of my favorites. The peking style pork chop is a classic here, deep fried and moist with a sweet and sour sauce. The best part about this dish is that there's no bones either (unlike some of the other pork dishes). The beef chow fun is what I believe the best beef chow fun in MN. It's so freaking good I think you just have to try it for yourself. Another classic starter dish I got was the seafood tofu soup. Hot, thick seafood soup with tofu is refreshing to start with, and when you top it off with a dash of white pepper it gets even better. The fried oysters are a recent addition to my favorites; cripsy without too much fishiness/oceanic flavor, and also very meaty. The batter and salt/pepper onion flavoring is also very strong and pairs well with the oysters. And lastly I usually get some sort of vegetable. This time around I got the yu choi in garlic sauce, which was clean and just tender enough to add a nice bite of fresh veggie to our meal. I would also recommend the achoy or chinese brocolli if you're into that as well. They also give you a free dessert of what I think is taro tapicoa soup? Either way it's a nice sweet treat to end the meal on.

In…read morere-reading my reviews, I stand by everything I've said about the excellent consistent quality of the food, the service, and how much I enjoy coming to this restaurant. I truly hope they are around longer than I am. I would hate to find out this was one of the choices no longer available to us. Please read my previous reviews for a more inclusive view; this review focuses only on their lobster. I had previously mentioned that they prices of their lobsters (I love the version with black bean sauce) have gone up tremendously. While true, there seems to have been a subtle change in their pricing strategy. Previously (as of before the pandemic), the lobster was priced by the pound, which is the conventional way of doing it. However, they seem to have two lobster prices. The first one is called "Big Lobster" and they say it's between 2 and 2 and half pounds per lobster. The price of that (as of this review) is $56 dollars, or $28 per pound. That's not really a bad price at all. It's expensive, but reasonable. The other lobster is called "Live Lobster" and is priced $10 less at $46. So the real question is how much does this second version weigh? I ordered the Big Lobster, but they said they were out of it. I asked the weight of the "Live Lobster" but I didn't really get a straight answer, but he seemed to say "about two pounds" which doesn't really make sense because that's the price of the larger, more expensive lobster. But I decided to go for it anyway. As I stated in my last review, I'm guessing this lobster is at least two pounds, based on many years of eating lobster. For this review, I had ChatGPT translate the the Chinese on the menu, thinking it was secret code for "if you can read Chinese, save ten dollars by ordering this version" but AI says the Chinese means "lobster" so if you spoke Chinese, you'd still be mystified. So my recommendation is order the version that is ten dollars cheaper and you may (or may not) be paying $23 a pound. Price aside, I love this version of lobster and it is certainly a better deal than what you would pay at an American style seafood or steak restaurant in the Twin Cities.

The mapo tofu and eggplant dishes that we ordered ended up being very similar in taste/sauce/seasoning but still pretty good. The service was pretty fast and the staff was friendly.

The potstickers were awesome but given the name of the place I was surprised that the real standouts were the other dishes. The ribeye was perfectly marinated and tender, tossed with a variety of vegetables and stir-fried noodles. The wings were terrific and the General Tso's was perfect. Don't sleep on the cucumbers either...smoky, spicy, and sweet, with peanuts and sauce. My favorite potstickers were the Beef & Carrots and the Kimchi Pork.
