    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.

    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.

    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.

    Garlic Chicken Fried Noodles

    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

    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.

    Fantastic food and flavor. Want to eat my way through the menu... Hot.. flavorful and just damn good

    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.

    Moo Garlic Beef Fried Noodles
    Amber D.

    My husband and I ordered Master Noodle for delivery & it was amazing; we've been to the actual restaurant before & can confirm that delivery is just as tasty! I got the Moo Shu Fried Noodles, which had the perfect hand-pulled noodle, super chewy & delicious. The veggies that were included were also tasty, with lots of egg. My husband got Garlic Chicken Fried Noodles & confirmed his was delicious as well. Everything that includes the hand-pulled noodles can't be beat! We also shared a Taro Milk Tea, which was so good. It comes in a large size with lots of chewy boba. All in all, this place is a must-have, & I can't wait to eat in the restaurant again!

    I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon, it was not super busy and we were seated very quickly! The food was fresh and very quick! I will definitely be coming back to try more on their menu! This is a super family friendly spot! You could also dine in on your own for lunch/dinner!

    Hillary P.

    Epic! I realize that there's more than one of these in the area, but if they're all as good as this, I would never go anywhere else. Casual atmosphere with an Asian motif. Kitchen open to the dining room so you can watch all the action. Fantastic to watch the noodle Master make your noodles For your dish. Service was solid and prices super reasonable. I will say the spice levels are definitely up there and so good it'll just make you cry! LOL Nice variety of soft drinks and bubble tea, with limited alcohol, choices of beer, wine, and sake. Easy access with tram stop just outside the front door. A must when you are in the area.

    Shanxi Shaved Noodle Soup
    Andre A.

    Service was kind and friendly, and I appreciate that the noodles were hand crafted and freshly made to order, however, something about the cook/taste was off with the noodles in my opinion. Texture was a bit firm for my liking when i had my bowl with a more floury taste. Broth was yummy with the meat being highly more sought after, but it felt like the portion of meat was on the lower side. Overall, the taste was more on the average side at an 6.5/10 for the dish I had!

    Do they have gluten free noodles?

    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… Read more

The inside is dark and dated but it was a nice day and we grabbed a table on the patio, which was lovely and spacious! The menu is very nostalgic and offers many favorites from the former Soviet Union that I grew up eating. I wanted to try something I don't normally eat at a family gathering. I got the vereniki (filled with potato and onions - more commonly known as peorogi) smothered in a mushroom cream sauce, topped with steak and onion straws. It was delicious and super hearty; not something I could eat very often. I also got a Moscow mule but was a bit bummed at how weak it was and the fact that it wasn't served in the traditional copper cup that helps keep the ice from melting and diluting the drink. I also want to point out that they added a 3.8% credit card charge (which I know is becoming more srandard), and a 20% gratuity, even though we were only a table of 5. Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed myself but not sure there is much there to bring me back anytime soon.

The Bahn Mi has a little walk-up line similar to Subway where it's made on the spot. All other items can be ordered via table service. I got a passion fruit bubble tea smoothie with tapioca pearls to start and my friend and I both opted for pho since our planned menu item was sold out. Pho comes out almost immediately which is nice especially if you have places to be. It was fresh, hot, and came with the toppings on the side to add as you please. I'll definitely return! 4 stars due to the main item being sold out and really good pho but not outstanding blow me away good. Additionally, there are plastic spoons for pho and I was hoping for a regular utensil. Lastly, the waiter was really quick to ask us what we wanted to eat without much time to explore the menu.

In terms of food, there is a mixture of Burmese, Thai, and Karen dishes, and each one that my friends and I have ordered has been a hit. The tea leaf salad has amazing texture because of peanuts and fried garlic, which provide crunchiness, and has amazing flavor because of lemon juice, fish sauce, and tomatoes. The noodle salad has a light taste without adding the given lime piece, and then the rich nutty taste gets evoked and elevated upon adding lime juice. The zaap crispy has very well-seasoned fried chicken pieces, and medium spice level gives it a good amount of flavor. The shan khao soi is so creamy and tasty that even tasting the curry broth itself is a sensational experience, and the chicken leg included literally has "fall off the bone" meat. The boat noodle has a mixture of sweetness and savor, while the sweet flavor does not overpower anything at all. Finally, the mohinga clearly has fish cake flavor and texture fully infused, making it authentically delicious. We also ordered the knyaw iced salad, which was a mixture of ice along with crackers and other types of sweet ingredients. I thought it was very similar to a type of Vietnamese dessert called chè ba màu (three color pudding), and fully enjoyed it. The establishment only had one dessert, and I thought that was sufficient. While the street contains many excellent restaurants, I personally believe that this establishment stands out in terms of taste. I must also mention that since my friends and I arrived when barely anyone else was there each time we had gone there, we never experienced any service delays that some have mentioned in their reviews. I probably will give this place a 5 rating anyway even if I experience slowness, although I hope I don't.
