I've spent a lot of time in Asia and really enjoy this place. Well prepared unusual dishes with unique taste. I recommend the dry fish, cold skin noodle, lamb noodle and pork dumplings. Skip the salad bar stir fry thing. Custard after at Abbot's is a good finish. read more

I like their Liangqi so much. It is great summer dish. I think every noodle dish is worth to try. Other dishes are good too. I hope they can open one near my home. read more

The noodles here are fresh and hand pulled which is the perk of this food but in texture it was chewy and taste, garlic-y. Not spiced enough with lamb. The lamb bun was very pleasing however. read more

The wonton noodle soup is great, and not the style I am used to being served. This is authentic northern Chinese and So much better! A hearty piping hot bowl of noodle soup! I like the spicy lamb kabob too! read more

This place is indeed a great place for authentic Chinese noodle. We order the Hong Kong style wonton noodle and a stir fried vegetable and a cold skin dish that is made from bean paste. For drinks, we got an iced tea with little balls in it. Parking is right at the back - municipal parking. read more

MDM Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Second time here... The first time I was just passing by, stopped on a whim, and loved it. This time I had my 13 and 11 year old. We had spicy lamb kabobs (delicious!) They had Won Ton Noodle Soup, slurped happily, and had some to take home. I had spicy boiled lamb with hand pulled noodles... flavorful, fresh, and filling. Staff was great too. (First Yelp review I've ever written, but this place deserves a great one!) read more

Great chewy hand pulled noddles only wish they was more flavor in them or even some salt...or maybe i had a not so great batch? But the cumin lamb burger is amazing!!!! read more

I ordered from them on foodler yesterday and I found a piece of plastic in the cucumber and mashed garlic dish. It was so scary because I have no clue how did that plastic get into the food! Be aware next time with this noodle place! I will never order from them again personally. read more

The best noodle that you can find around this area. Best ones are the beef and lamb hand pulled noodles. Very cheap but very delicious. It's best to eat the hand pulled noodles fresh. read more

This is a small operation that provides a variety of very spicy noodle soup offerings that are great for a cold wintry day. The bubble tea is skippable, but I was very happy with my bowl of potato starch noodles in Sichuan broth. There was a medley of veggies, tofu, ground meat and even peanuts in the soup. Portions are very generous. I happily chowed down and finished almost the entire bowl even though just this past week I barely had an appetite due to a stomach virus. Be warned, though, mild is still quite spicy! My dad wasn't crazy about his boiled pork dumplings, but I think their specialty here is noodles rather than dumplings. They accept most credit cards as far as I could tell. read more

I tried their dry fish and two different noodle dish. Everything tasted great. The noodles were fairly priced for the large portion but I thought the fish was a bit overpriced and could have used more spices. read more

Authentic Chinese food. Many menu items with photos. Awesome choice of vegetarian and meat items for Mala Pot. You can pick out just what u want and its cooked to perfection. Comes with rice. Stir fried eggplant is delicious. The spicy hand pulled noodles are excellent- the bok choy and cilantro are wonderful additions. Service is so kind and friendly that it is such a pleasure to eat here. Bonus they have bubble tea and its very flavorful- lots of tea and bubbles. read more

They have Biangbiang noodles. They dont realize it. It's called Spicy hot oil hand pulled noodle. If you don't try it you are missing out. Assuming you like spicy food. Delicious. read more

Food was good and authentic. My big complaint is they serve water in Styrofoam cups which is a huge turn off. Bad for the environment, horrible to drink from and I can't understand why they would continue with the expense of buying these terrible cups, when they could buy glasses for .50 cents a piece and be done with it. April 2016 Went back to MDM Noodles and was pleasantly surprised that they now serve water in hard plastic glasses rather than the Styrofoam cups. It made the eating experience so much nicer and it is a great place for food. There were four of us, so we ate family style and sampled several dishes from the menu. All good and very affordable. So glad to have MDM Noodles in Brighton Center. read more

This place looks very unassuming from the outside, but the food is no joke! The hand pulled noodles are delicious. My boyfriend and I got the spicy oil hand pulled noodles and the beef ones. Both were delicious in their own ways! We also got the pork and chive dumplings which wete perfectly steamed and came with a delicious dipping sauce. The portions are big and an amazing deal. We will be back! read more

I was skeptical of the great reviews but this place is delicious. Authentic northern Chinese food. I had the lamb meat soup which is fairly bland but in a good way - not too salty with a strong lamb flavor. The beef scallions dry noodle is really delicious as is the lamb burger. The hand pulled noodles are thick but not thicker than the ones I had in China. Clean restaurant, big portions. I'll be back. read more

I stopped because I was hungry and there is parking in the back. Definitely unassuming place and I was recommended to the hand pulled noodles. I added chicken to mine. This meal did not disappoint. I could tell they were made fresh and the sauce and bokchoy really went well together. I couldn't finish my entire portion. Nice waitstaff. read more

I've ordered 3 days in a row because it's just soooo good. I've had mala lamb soup, old friend soup, cucumbers, hand pulled noodles. All delicious. read more

Hand pulled noodles were fantastic and perfectly chewy, and the cucumbers were really tasty as well. The dry fish could have been crisper and spicier, but wasn't bad, and the eggplant was fine, but not particularly memorable. read more

I used Grabhub today for delivery. When driver called I was at a conference call, I told him he can just leave the food at the gate, I paid everything including tip advanced. But he refused and asked me to come outside. So I apologized to my coworkers and dropped the conference call. When I went to outside, the driver was not even there. I waited outside for 5 mins, he finally showed up, and he didn't even get out off his car, he just waited to let me go to him. What a horrible experience? I love the food from MDM noodle, but thanks to this driver, I'll never ever order from MDM noodle any more. UPDATE: MDM owner reached out to me stated that they use a delivery company called Deliberr. He said he would reach out to this company about my concern and look for another delivery company. I really appreciate what he did. read more

I've only had the hand pulled noodle with cumin lamb and the steamed dumplings. both are tasty and i will eat there again and try more dishes. service is good as well, polite, clean, quick service! read more

Year of the LambHorse Authentic Henan food in the year of the lamb, it is. When cumin infused dust settles between normal lunch and dinner derby times, you may be able to hitch yourself to the long high center table, straddling tall chairs and lapping up tea. Orders of sliced Tea Eggs or Cháyè Dàn ($1.25), Lamb Kabobs or Ko Yángròu ($1.50) and Spicy Cumin Lamb Burgers, aka Yángròu Jiā Mó ($4.75) are apps with friends or a nice 3-course meal alone. MDM's version satisfies like any burger should and the important flatbread component has a pleasing profile. The menu at MDM Noodle seems pan-regional but it is all rooted in foods seen in Henan mostly. The menu jumps from Henan, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Chongqing, and Sichuan. It regains focus when you realize the main draw hand-pulled noodles are shared by Henan, Shaanxi and Xinjiang together. The exceptions are two Cantonese Hong Kong Wonton Soups ($6.50 and $7.00), superb, specialty or not. Canton flavors contrast bold Silk Road flavors dominating the menu. There is also piquant Sichang Spicy Noodle ($7.00) which more accurately translates to Chóngqìng Suān Là Fěn or Chongqing Hot and Sour Potato Starch Vermicelli. The Liángbàn Miàn or Cold Buckwheat Noodle, didn't express buckwheat flavor or texture. It benefits from the condiment caddy of chili oil, black vinegar, sugar and white pepper. Judicious use of said happy carousel made each noodle dish more memorable! ¿¡High demand + low supply = low prices!? for MDM's Liáng Pí ($5.50) are cause for internet butthurt. A sophisticated and labour intensive noodle doubly confounded by low yields, the man who introduced Boston to this dish, Gene Wu, of Gene's Chinese Flatbread Café also struggles with volume. (His solution is to only offer it on weekends, it still sells out, while MDM wants to machine-ize.) The connected will hound owner-partner Sam Ho by WeChat and drone messengers to reserve Liáng Pí ahead of time. The "Cold Skin Noodle" starts by washing wheat flour in water. Clear starch sheets are extracted away, while gluten is saved to be made into reticulated cubes to be added back in when staging the dish. This house-made gluten also makes its way into Málà Xiāng Guō or Spicy Dry Hot Pot and MaLa Hot Pot with broths aka Málà Tàng. Multiple regional styles, execution with easy élan, wallet friendly, and even a green but friendly full service wait staff, you might be tempted to finish your meal at MDM. Unbutton because we haven't even tried the main courses, four Chě Miàn or hand-pulled noodles. Some Chinese say more figuratively "hand-ripped". It would be remiss to not comment about ruffled edges of these two foot long serpentine belts of sinewy wheat belts. It is painful to say they are par with Xi'an native and beloved Bostonian, Gene Wu, but they only vary by each chef's intentions and taste. A millimeter here, 30 seconds of boiling there, casual observers might say same difference. Sam Ho has brought in two Henan chefs of exacting skill, ringers if you will. This reviewer's stomach has no bounds for both shops and is so grateful for MDM's and Gene's efforts. After some visits, you'll come to realize MDM's strength is not just noodles, but also lamb. MDM features around six very intensely sourced lamb dishes and they all have different preparations. They can broil, boil, fry, stew, each technique yielding the best results. The small cubes of lamb in the signature Zhèngzhōu Huì Miàn or Lamb Meat Soup ($9.50) are so succulent, you may be fooled into thinking they were an impossibly moist pork tenderloin roast. It also features quail eggs and hand-pulled noodles. Extremely popular, MDM is doing 300 bowls of it a day and has a 3'x5' plaque on one wall describing it's heritage. Clearly, this is the taste of Henan. Two other Chě Miàn dishes, a spicy boiled lamb version, and a vegan hot-oil dish bang-bang out the Biáng Biáng in Mian, another popular name for this style of noodle. On the back page of the menu, Xinjiang Chicken Stew is offered in 2,4, or 6 person servings. Pronounced Dàpán Jī, it also features hand-pulled noodle with roasted potatoes, red bell peppers, and stewed bone-in chicken. The cooking varied depending on what chicken part. A treasure piece of chicken feet was properly gelatinous, collagen broken down, but some dark meat pieces were a bit dry. Unavoidable considering the dish, yet the whole effect is similar to Gene's wonderful version. MDM Noodle, tongue in cheek for "Noodle facing Noodle Noodle" is a serious dude ranch for Henan cuisine. It helps to have scouts on WeChat, the popular Chinese social network, to not overlook such momentous openings. WeChat pitter patter became gallops then bolted into cavalcades making MDM an instant sold out line waiting experience for Chinese students and adventurous 老外 alike since opening day less than a month ago. For weeks, wild mustangs of Henan's North China Plains have been stampeding around Brighton Center. read more

Lamb spicy pulled noodle soup and lamb cumin burger app are both very good. I recommend this place if you're into noodles.

This is my most favorite place. All of the Mala soups are awesome and the cucumber and vege delight are like crack. Definitely try the Mala pots when you're there. read more

Too noisy and too much people crowded here, tiny space not worth to waste so much time here. Wait for servers like weeks to come back.

I came here with my cousins and my sister to scout out this place. We are a funny bunch and we like eating. I left very happy. We were all curious about the place and after my friend came back with good reports, we all went. We ordered Lamb Kabobs, Beef Mala Soup with regular noodles, Wonton Soup, Liang- Pi, and Boiled Lamb Hand Pulled Noodles. We all voted that the Boiled Lamb Hand Pulled Noodles were the best; the noodles were nice and smooth and the meat was seasoned well. The Liang- Pi was good and my first pleasant try of the dish (I've only had it once before at Uncle Gene's Flatbread Cafe and was sad because it didn't live up to my imagination). We are used to Wonton Noodles from the South, but we all liked this version of Wonton Noodles too. The ingredients are well- proportioned in each of the dishes we mentioned above. The Lamb Kabobs were ok; they were too spicy for my cousins and my sister. I could definitely develop a craving for the food here. We thought the staff here seemed friendly and pleasant. read more

This is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I've ever had in Boston serving Chinese northwest noodles

So delicious! I got spicy stir fry & noodles. Best I've had in Boston! I guess I'm not the only one that thinks so, they have "best of" awards everywhere. And they were super friendly too. Enjoy! read more

I have been here for at least three times and I love this restaurant every time! The Luosi noodle here is very authentic and delicious! It's worthy for me of driving 40 minutes to have a bowl of noodle here! read more

The noodles or silky and delicious. I had the lamb and pulled noodles in my wife had vegetarian noodle soup. Vegetarians must beware, because of the language barrier you really have to emphasize you want a vegetable base broth. A surprising treat was the tea egg. Different and delicious! read more

Great place, friendly staff, authentic Henan style food. No hot & sour or egg drop soup here! Try the Lamb Bone soup, it's a Henan specialty, the broth is very labor intensive, and served with their awesome homemade wide noodles. I'm told by someone who studied traditional Chinese medicine that it's also very healthy, there are actually medicinal herbs in the soup. If you like spicy food, they have a lot of "ma la" soups and dishes, made with spicy pepper. It's very unusual to find authentic Chinese food in Boston that's not Cantonese style, so I was psyched to find this place. I've been there about 4 times already and haven't been disappointed. read more

I tried this place for the first time recently and got the hand-pulled noodles with beef and scallion. The noodles were amazing since they were truly hand-pulled; loved the texture. The flavoring of this particular dish wasn't amazing, but it was pretty good. It was a little dry. I bet some of their hand-pulled noodle soups would be better. I will definitely be going back. Staff were friendly, which I don't always expect from chinese restaurants. read more

The service is terrible - the waiter was rude and left for 3 minutes without explanation as I was asking him what he would recommend. Would not come again. read more

Really lovely little place. Very simple but pretty decor, very personable waitstaff. I had the pulled noodles with tomato and egg, plus the black fungus with mashed garlic. Everything was delicious and filling, and the prices were very reasonable for Brighton. You can even park for free in the lot behind the Corrib on Market St. (if you can find a space). read more

You should definitely try this place. The hand pulled noodles are wonderful. Get spicy and ma la. Get lamb. Try something with cumin. Don't come expecting the regular fare you'd find at other Chinese joints in Boston where all the dishes come from the same regions (or are actually created here). I'm so happy to have food like this nearby:) in fact I'm going to head back with some friends right now. read more

I am eating the best possible Chinese Food in Boston! The noodles are spot on, at just the right texture. The pork dumplings are the real deal, made from scratch and perfect. The egg and tomato hand made noodles is sublime - I haven't had this since I was actually in China. It is as amazing as I remember. Seriously ... AMAZING. read more

This noodle shop was authentic and amazing. Each dish was made with very fresh ingredients and wonderful spices. The meat dishes were perfectly seasoned and the vegetables were crunchy and tasty. The service was a little slow but everyone was very pleasant. Highly recommended! read more

I like the concept there. Serves mostly lamb dishes. Need better ventilation, my eyes always tear up when I go there because they serve a lot of spicy food and steamy hot soup, there is not enough space to avoid semi congestion. Food taste good. Owner is very polite and staff often check up on you to ask you if you need anything. read more

Authentic Chinese food! Iove everything I've tried here so far. Must try their Mala soup and dry hot pot!

I came when they first opened, and they were completely unprepared. However, they have since gotten their act together. Friendly timely service. Focused specialty menu. Delicious hand pulled noodles and noodle soups with flavorful broths. Definitely a great place to go for good authentic noodles! read more
