5 stars for the food. Can't speak for in-dining service since I ordered time-out for a Friday night. I ordered through Yelp's Eat24; my order was ready for me when I arrived; payment already made through the app so it was an easy walk in and walk out. Okay, now on to the food: Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger: the dough unfortunately got stale by the time I dug into the meal, but still the lamb was well seasoned and has a really good taste. I could imagine how much better it is when the bun is fresh - I'll drive home quicker next time! Black Fungus with Mashed Garlic: love these weird little things, more so for its texture. This dish has a strong smell, a bit sourish, but it tastes better. Beef Scallion Hand Pulled Noodle: this is my first time having hand-pulled noodles, so I don't have anything to compare to, however I really liked it! The noodles were thick. Good balance of sauce. And need was tasty too - wish there was more beef. However the portion size all together is worth it. Dried Hot Pot Fish Fillet: Love! Fried fish that's not too spicy. It looks a lot spicier because of the pepper flakes and pieces of whole pepper themselves in the dish. But it's the the right amount of spice and great flavor. Homemade Egg Tea: simple and delicious! Seafood Hand Pulled Noodle Soup: broth was flavorful. Hand pulled noodle was thick. Definitely need the soup to loosen up the noodles by the time I got back home. The seafood seems like it came from frozen packaging vs fresh, so thats a bummer. However, I still like it! read more

Always great and consistent- I usually order the lamb pulled noodle dish. A neighborhood favorite!

We got the spicy boiled lamb and the beef scallion hand-pulled noodles. The noodles were so good; perfectly chewy and bouncy. The width is a bit inconsistent but my friend quite liked it that way. The lamb doesn't have that in your face lamb taste. The portion was generous and there's way more meat than Gene's although we were split on which noodles were better. The stir-fried vegetables were so delicious; it felt like home. I would definitely come back to try more on the menu. read more

MDM Noodles - Spicy Boiled Lamb Hand-Pulled Noodles (front) Beef Scallion Hand-Pulled Noodles (back) - Chinese Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

The restaurant itself I would give 4 stars but it gets bumped up to 5 stars because of the ample free parking available on site (back of the building) which is so rare in Boston. The food is authentic and delicious. I ordered the lamb noodles and the Liang Pi which is an authentic dish originating from my hometown in the province of Shaanxi. The lamb noodles were nice and chewy (it's supposed to be!) and the sauce was flavorful, the lamb meat was tender. The Liang Pi required some extra vinegar but was still delicious. My only criticism is that the portions are average but the dishes are a little pricey at around $10 for the lamb noodles and $7 for the liang pi. I'm also not from Boston and can get a huge bowl of authentic handpulled noodles for in Austin/Houston for $6.50. Overall if I was in Boston, I would go again if I was craving authentic handpulled noodles. Come here if you want to experience authentic Chinese food but don't want to brave the chaos, smells and horrendous parking situation (minimum parking rates of $10-15!) of Chinatown in Boston. read more

Ambience: The place smelled like bamboo shoots, which was not very pleasant. There was also the odd housefly buzzing around our table. Otherwise, the place was decently clean. Food: 1. Lamb meat noodle soup (郑州羊肉烩面): The star of the meal! The broth was mildly herbal, rich in the flavor of the lamb and had a milk-like consistency, thanks to the hours of simmering the lamb bones and extracting the marrow. The soup was also sweet from the wolfberries and baby bok choy. There was a mix of thick hand-pulled noodles and rice vermicelli. Personally, I was not a big fan of the gluten-heavy, starchy hand-pulled noodles (it seemed authentic though). The noodles and vermicelli were cooked just right and had the al dente texture. The cubes of lamb were bite-size and tender. Worth coming back again for! 2. Grilled lamb skewers (烤羊肉串): Delicious, lean pieces of lamb with tones of cumin and chilli. I wish I had space for more! 3. Spicy lamb hand-pulled noodles: I liked the savoury slices of lamb which were braised so perfectly. The lamb had streaks of fat too, which was a delicious oily contrast to the meat parts. Again, I wasn't a big fan of the hand-pulled noodles. The noodles didn't come in a soup so they were quite dry after a while. 4. Cold noodles (凉皮): The glass noodles were cooked al dente and mixed with finely sliced cucumber and carrot as well as a sesame dressing. The dish tasted average; a dash of black vinegar and hot oil made it a lot better. read more

Fresh noodles, nice fried hot fish; what is there not to like?! My only complaint would be that the food is a bit greasy (esp that fish dish) - it's addictive eating, but not necessarily good for you in great quantities. Definitely can't wait to return though. read more

Hands down, best noodle place this side of the world. I've had hand-pulled noodles in China, and I prefer this place. My family goes at least once a week (which can't be good for their health). If you've never had Liang Pi (called Cold Skin Noodles on the menu), it's a great authentic Chinese dish that's definitely worth a try. This place does it REALLY well. Some favorites are the cumin lamb hand-pulled noodles, Guilin noodles (mi fen), and of course, the big smorgasbord of stuff you pick out at the entrance and then they cook it all up nice and spicy for you and it's cheap AF. read more

Came here earlier today with my boyfriend. It's a Wednesday afternoon so we were the only ones there at the time. Really warm atmosphere, very tidy, and nicely decorated. Service was also friendly! The lady gave my boyfriend warm water and me cold water because he is Chinese and I'm not. Little did she know our water preferences are reversed. Haha! We ordered the lamb burger which was excellent. The lamb is spiced with a lot of cumin and the bread is baked to a nice chew. It's also Pretty large--about the size of a burger you'd get at any joint which surprised me, one who is adjusted to tiny portion sizes in Allston appetizer menus. Definitely must try. For main meals, we ordered beef & scallion noodles and lamb noodle soup. Beef & scallion was so so good. The hand pulled noodles are flat, long, and super chewy which I love. The lamb soup on the other hand was very light in flavor. There is a lot of food in both bowls, but the lamb soup unfortunately did not have enough meat chunks to my liking so I'm docking one point off for that. Otherwise, this place is great! I really want to go back and try more items. Check this place out! read more

One of the few things I miss about living in Brighton is MDM noodles. The hand pulled spicy hot oil noodles are what dreams are made of. In fact, everything I've ever ordered has been great. Can't wait to come back when I visit. Good noodles like this are very hard to find read more

Why did I love this place so much when I came? Was it the intimacy of being the only customer on a Saturday while the sun was still out, or was it the expect taste I expect on my tongue I feel when I'm in my happy place? There is a real charm to the the friendliness and the quickly made street style portions that feel healthy and not too hard even with a flavorful twang you know isn't what you should eat after a workout. It was really really good. I hope more people come here and eat good food to feed their hearts and souls read more

Inspired by a discussion on CHOW.com, our recently reunited Chowhound Saturday lunch crew (RRCSLC....hmmm...we need a better acronym than that!) got together yesterday at MDM Noodle in Brighton MA to check out this newly opened restaurant that has apparently set the Chinese-lauguage social media afire. We were generally very pleased with our meal and will be back, although there are definitely some quirks that might annoy an un-expecting customer and probably explain some of the low ratings they have received on Yelp. From the packed house, this is clearly an example where Yelp star ratings are not a reliable guide. The four of us skipped the mala soups and focused instead on dishes that are apparently hard to find around Boston (see photos): 1) Liang Pi (Cold-skin) Noodles ($5.50)--This was my favorite dish, and we were lucky to get it. Despite ordering around 12Noon (they open at 11:30, although you can apparently get in at 11), they had essentially run out, and we might have snagged the very last serving. Served cold, with some spicy chili sauce on top, this was refreshing and delicious. All of MDM's noodles are made in house (although unfortunately the kitchen isn't visible, so you can't see them hand-pulling). This dish is apparently quite unusual around here, and I for one had never seen it before, so for the uninitiated: raw dough is washed in water to extract the starch (we forgot to ask what they do with the leftover dough!), then the cloudy water is left to settle overnight, the water poured off, and the settled starch is cooked and hand cut into noodles. Sounds tedious to me, but it was delicious! 2) Spicy Boiled Lamb Hand-Pulled Noodle ($9) -- Another favorite, these are excellent hand-pulled noodles, thick and dense, with a very Italian al dente chewiness. However, the dish is essentially one long noodle, so sharing is a challenge. Which brings me to one of the quirky things about MDM: While many of the dishes are served in colorful clay bowls, the only provided utensils are disposable chopsticks. Now, I've been told many times by my Chinese friends that my chopstick skills are better than a native's, but apparently that is more style than function, since these noodles are so thick and dense that it was impossible for me to break them apart. When we thereupon asked for a "knife and fork", all the waiter could come up with were some flimsy plastic forks. However, this did result in our working out an fairly effective "twist to hold & twist to break" technique that enabled our four portions of noodles to go their separate ways. We of course also asked for some plates for these 4 portions, which then resulted in our receiving 4 little styrofoam bowls. Not to mention styrofoam cups for our tea (or you can order a can of iced tea). LOL, I guess all the fancy serving bowls depleted MDM's budge for place settings! 3) BBQ Lamb Kabob ($1.50 each) -- Tender and strongly cumin flavored, quite enjoyable. 4) Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger ($4.75 each) -- The same lamb as served with the noodles, in a nicely crispy bun. Again, hard to break into pieces, so if you are planning to share bringing your own knife (and a plate) would be advised. Is BYOK legal in Brighton??? 5) Shingjiang chicken stew ($20 for a 2-person serving) -- Our largest dish, this was again layered on top of those excellent hand-pulled noodles, with a substantial amount of chicken, potatos, bell peppers, cilantro, green onion, garlic... Besides the generous chicken, we agreed the best part of this dish was the potatoes, which soaked up the flavor nicely. As expected, chicken was bone-in & chopped, so if you don't like picking apart nondescript chicken/bone pieces, this isn't be the dish for you. And that was more than enough food for 4, which with tea & 1 can iced tea plus tip, came to $16/person. With such affordable, delicious, and apparently authentic food being served, is it any surprise that MDM had a waiting line of what appeared to be college-age Asian students eager for their turn at a table? A few other quirks worth mentioning: ~What's up with the laser light show (see my interior photo below, with all those colorful dots)??? I was almost blinded a time or two. Owner: Please loose this ASAP!!! ~Go early or plan to wait in line. No reservations (Yelp is wrong). ~Cash only (although someone said CC machine was down?). ~Service, which is a criticism on Yelp, definitely needs some work. Before we realized, we had been chatting for 30 minutes and not a single waiter stopped by our table to take an order. This continued throughout our 2+ hour lunch (they were very generous in allowing us to take our time, given there was a line waiting for seats). Anytime we needed something, we had to flag a waiter down. However, the owner did say they were short-handed. Otherwise, service was very friendly. ~Parking lot behind? So if you like noodles, especially at this time of year, MDM is highly recommended (despite laser light show!). read more

I stumbled into MDM literally the day after it opened, at 4pm on a random Saturday. When I went, the place was empty with the exception of two other patrons; so I really can't speak for all the other reviewers who complained about ingredients running out, a long wait, or bad service. Our server was polite, patient, and helpful with recommendations. I never felt rushed, and the food came out fast and fresh. Overall, I had a very positive experience. I got the lamb skewer and the dry spicy lamb noodles. The lamb skewer was a bit small for the price, but it was really well seasoned. The spicy hand-pulled noodles were delicious and the size was decent, too. The noodles had a perfect springiness to them and the bowl included a generous heaping of bean sprouts and cilantro, which I loved. It was the perfect refreshing counterbalance to the complex, heavier flavor of the noodles. The noodles weren't too spicy (you probably need to request it explicitly -- I didn't, so they just gave me the mild version, I think), but the flavor was on point otherwise. All in all, I'm really excited to finally have some good, authentic Chinese food closer to home. Fingers crossed that this place gets past what seems to be some growing pains and becomes a permanent fixture in Brighton. For what it's worth, it's a great dining experience if you can sneak a visit between the lunch and dinner rush like I did. read more

I got medium spicy noodles hot oil hand pulled noodles and should have gotten hot! I'm sure it was spicy enough for most people, but it's best to err on the side of caution with a pace you're new to and add more from the spicy oil on the table. Also tried the spicy fried potato which was not spicy fries, like I thought it would have been, but slivers of potato with birds eye chilies. Service was quick, and dishes come out as they are ready so your table should just start eating. So cheap! less than $10 for a filling meal. read more

I was really surprised by how much I like this place! The tea eggs were good and well flavored. The BBQ lamb kabob tasted really good, not dry but tender and flavorful. We mainly came here to try the liang pi cold skin noodles. Liang pi cold skin noodles were hand pulled noodles that were very fresh and fresh tasting. It had like a peanut butter sauce very pad thai like, very delicious. You MUST try the Cumin Lamb Burger! It was surprisingly really good. It had some onions in it as well and a bit saucy. The bun tasted to the pan fried buns. The stir fried seasonal vegetables (peppers, celery, carrots, lotus root, black fungus) was really good, very fresh. Blanched quickly so it's still nice and crunchy, flavored with some sesame oil. The sichang spicy noodles was delicious, when eating it hot, it tasted a lot spicier but as it cooled down I added a bit more spicy sauce. It has a lot of vinegar in it so its the right amount of spicy and sour. I just don't like the licorice taste and the huge pepper corn pieces. Also wish there was a little more meat in this, only has a little bit of minced pork. The lamb meal soup was good and had the hand pulled noodles. The hand pulled noodles have a nice bouncy texture. The mala lamb soup was good as well, somewhat similar to the sichang spicy noodles. Overall I really enjoyed it and would come back when I'm craving this! Also I believe there is a private parking lot in back. read more

The food - it's all about the food. Went on a Friday night with a friend and here's the download: Inside: decent amount of seating; simple layout, clean, no frills, not fancy. It's the neighborhood joint. Service was quick and attentive; it also wasn't busy. FOOD (which I've been building up to) is delicious, authentic, fresh, and has that homemade touch. We ordered multiple cold appetizers that I'm going to fail to name in English - stringed bean curd, wood-ear salad, cucumber salad - the portions were huge! And everything tasted so fresh. And it was great. Then obviously, noodles. Thick, chewy, clearly hand pulled. I'm dreaming about them as I type. So, go here. read more

Cumin lamb skewers ($1.50 each) arrive dusted heavily in cumin. Grilled to a perfect medium rare, the meat is sweet and juicy. Tender and fatty. An order of Wonton noodle soup ($7.50) comes in a large bowl with brimming with wontons and a mountain of noodles. The chicken broth is rich and flavorful. The noodles thin yet strong. The wontons are stuffed with ground pork and cilantro. Juicy. The noodle wraps are delicate but strong. Theses wontons are akin to soup dumpling: it is easier to eat them out of the soup spoon provided. The space is spare but cozy a refrigerator displays ingredients and toppings that can be chosen to make personalized dishes. The menu has a broad array of noodle and stir fry dishes that should satisfy just about any kind of craving. A host of firey chili packed dishes await my next trip. Service is polite and efficient. read more

I ordered the beef mala soup to go and will say that I was impressed with the service I received. The hostess/waitress was patient and helped me with selecting from the menu - and for a novice when it comes to noodles, I really appreciate it! I am very satisfied with the food I got. The broth was wonderfully tasty. I honestly expected to get a ton of noodles with very little greens (Bok choy, cabbage, etc) or beef, but this was definitely not the case. Delicious food and very generous portions. I paid only $5.50 and have plenty leftover for dinner! Speedy service and clean interior. Maybe not the place I'd go for a date, but overall nothing to complain about (the bathroom was nicer than the one at my office,too). Minimum of $10 for credit cards. I'll be back to try something else. read more

MDM Noodles - My Beef Mala Soup takeout. - Chinese Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Solid Sichuan noodle place. Hand-pulled noodles are wide and chewy, like a thicker papardelle. I got mine with the boiled lamb, which has a nice cumin flavor but makes me want to say "extra spicy" next time. I wish they'd do a better job explaining how "ma la hot pot" works for the uninitiated. In brief (based on watching someone get it): order. Then go with server to the display case at front of restaurant. Pick out veggies and meats, as little or as much as you need. It'll get weighed, then cooked up for you in back in spicy sauce. Overall solid place, worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Came here tonight because my roommate was craving for some hand pulled noodles. Don't think I've ever really had them before, but they're pretty good!! We each ordered a dish: I got the seafood Mala soup with hand pulled noodles, and my other two roommates got the spicy hot oil hand pulled noodles and the beef Mala soup with hand pulled noodles. All really delicious and spicy. Food came out pretty fast too. The hand pulled noodles were pretty good.. I guess I don't really know how it compares to other hand pulled noodles, but overall it tasted pretty good. Noodles were pretty thick. The seafood was alright-- tasted like it was just from the packaging.. So I would suggest getting something with meat. Seems like lamb is their most popular thing, but I don't really like lamb. Plan to spend around $10-12. Service was alright, nothing to complain about like I've seen in the other reviews. Only thing was it seemed like they ran out of real cups because we got styrofoam cups.... Which is a really ridiculous thing to comment on.. But it felt weird that it wasn't consistent? Can't complain though because it did feel like I was eating in Asia-- get your food fast, eat, and go! read more

This place is so good! Like Amazinggg if I could eat these noodles once a week I would! 10/10 recommended!!!

I base this review on the fact that if anyone puts any homemade noodle (Chinese, Italian, Korean...ANY), I'm likely going to LOVE it. I was going to wait to try a few of the signature MDM Noodle Bowls before I posted my review but I can't seem to order anything but the Noodles with Spiced Lamb and the side order of garlic black mushrooms. The noodles are thick, chewy, long, and delicious. The lamb doesn't blow my mind, but this particular dish is served with a hearty helping of noodles, which basically takes me over the edge... The black mushrooms are simply prepared with chopped garlic and vinegar and have a bite to them that reminds me of pickles but just... mushroom-y. Oh yum. And good for you! Also there is delivery via Zoomer and probably other options, but this was great for fairly quick service. The dish is best served at the restaurant though, which is casual, small. Staff are friendly and helpful but I think some staff may not know English as well as others. No problem, though! All are willing to help. read more

Ordered takeout with Yelp and the food was ready to be picked up 20 minutes later! Beef & scallion handpulled noodles: noodles were perfect; chewy, soft and pretty mildly spiced. The beef was little lacking in flavor but overall would order again. Spicy lamb handpulled noodles: I normally don't like lamb because it just tastes too gamey, but the lamb in this dish was so good! It reminded me of dunking lamb into hot pot and savoring it after. The noodles were the same as the beef & scallion - yummy! Dry hotpot fish filet: my favorite of the night. It wasn't as crispy since we did takeout and walked with it, but the spices were amazing. With a little bit of rice, it was exactly what I had been drooling about when I ordered it. Definitely going to order again when I'm craving some sichuan food. read more

A very solid and authentic Chinese restaurant with great mala pot and Xi'an/Shaanxi cuisine - my personal favorite in both those categories in the Brighton and Allston areas. The mala pot has consistently been good. They do the dry, stir-fried version with no broth, which is my preference. My favorite mala pot combo here is: beef, lamb, spam, fish filet, fish tofu, tofu puff and fish ball, with lotus, broccoli, enoki mushrooms and bok choy. I would also recommend any of their noodle dishes. If you're new to this type of cuisine, the beef scallion hand-pulled noodles might be a safe choice. I love the Liang Pi here, but would not recommend for first-timers to this cuisine. I'm not a noodle-soup person so I have no opinions on that front. I love the cumin lamb kabobs, and the Xi'an style 'burgers' are good too. For those that haven't tried Xi'an 'burgers,' just know that it doesn't taste anything like an American/European burger (I've seen a lot of people get confused by that term). read more

This is solely for their Sichuan spicy noodle (酸辣粉). I'm from Chengdu and I've been trying to find an authentic place, and was hoping that MDM will be that place. But alas, the noodles are nothing compared to what it should be! It's not spicy enough, and the ingredients in the noodle - veggies and tofu, when if should be more meat - is a travesty to the name of 酸辣粉 （Sichuan spicy noodle)!!! They should not name it 酸辣粉, at best it should be called spicy glass noodle vegetarian soup. The taste was not strong enough, not enough spice nor sourness. Overall a disappointment. But I will come and try their hand pulled noodles, there has to be something more than just Genes flatbread in boston. read more

Good, cheap noodles in fairly large portions. MDM is a small, bustling restaurant on Brighton's main drag that specializes in Chinese noodle dishes. We went with the spicy hot oil and spicy lamb versions of the hand pulled noodles as well as a marinated cucumber dish. All were great, but I wish they packed a little bit more heat. If you've never had hand pulled noodles, the texture is delightful. Its sort of like eating a really long dumpling. They soak up sauces quite well. If you live anywhere in the vicinity of Washington st, you need to give this place a try. read more

I came here yesterday with a friend and I really liked this restaurant. The only reason why I'm giving this four stars instead of five is because his dish was super yummy and mine was just mediocre. :'( Overall though, this place was delicious and I would definitely come here again and order his dish. Not only is this place super cheap (~$10 or less for all of the noddle dishes), but it's a very nice, hole-in-the-wall-but-cleaner type of place. He ordered the Beef Scallion Hand-Pulled Noodles which were incredible. They taste very similarly to beef chow foon, but I think they're way better because the noodles are very chewy and thick, and the noodles absorbed a lot of the sauce. I kept trying to convince him to trade with me, but he was very mean and didn't. I made the mistake of getting the Sichuan Noodle Soup (I don't remember what it was called exactly, but it was $7.50). I thought that the noodles were also going to be hand-pulled, but they were only vermicelli noodles. Overall, the flavoring was a bit more sour than Sichuan and not as spicy as I would've liked. I think the dish was not bad, but because my friend's was so good, it made mine look bad in comparison. So, all in all, I think this restaurant was very good and I am definitely going to come again and order the Beef Scallion Hand-Pulled Noodles, but I would not recommend the Sichuan Noodle Soup. Or, come with someone who would be willing to trade dishes with you if you don't like yours as much. read more

MDM Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Excellent and *authentic* food! The best you can get outside of Chinatown. Inexpensive, too! HOWEVER - something to understand is that this place has been completely *packed* to capacity since day 1. Don't go here if you're expecting a quick and easy Chinese dinner - they don't have the staff or space. I also don't recommend getting delivery. This place faces 1 major problem: Their demand is beyond the capacity of the restaurant, I don't think anyone expected this. Their staff is clearly overwhelmed. I sincerely believe that within a few weeks - they'll work out the kinks, hire some more staff, maybe make some more room, and figure this business out. read more
