    Mr. Noodle is nice because it offers some delicious Chinese dishes, soups, noodles and other things you don't find very easily. The place is simple in operation and overall does the job. After giving it a try it seems they're merely trying to provide traditional hot Asian food quick & easy. There's no fuss about the place or the experience but overall it's a decent option if your in the area.

    When it comes to Chinese food, Mr. Noodle delivers. Dishes are reasonably priced at around $15 and portions are generous so whenever I visit I never leave hungry. Take out staples like Mongolian Beef and Kung Pao Chicken are delicious (be sure to save the sauce from the Kung Pao dishes as it's great over plain rice). As you might imagine from the name, the noodle dishes are what really shine here. While the lamb dishes are generally my favorite, with the cumin lamb having heat and seasoning that perfectly balance the gamey lamb, you can't go wrong with any of them. If you're looking for something different - check out the steamed options. Their custard buns are fluffy and not overly sweet, while their pumpkin cake is the perfect vessel for dipping in sauces when they have it available.

    I have never noticed this place before because - even though I go to this Ollie's sometimes - The way the store fronts are kind of accordioned means I actually thought there were only half as many stores as there were. Perspective is weird that way, I probably would have been here way before now had there been a sandwich board out front. Brought hubs here with me today and we were a little confused walking in. I sort of wish there were a big sign that says something like "seat yourself and order at your table". We saw the sign that says something like "order at this kiosk if you don't want to wait and are taking your food to go" so that will be really helpful in the future because I do imagine that this would be a great takeout spot in the future. I really like how the menu specifies the main ingredient in the dish, then lists the additional ingredients. That is really informative and helps to make an educated choice and I really wish more restaurants would go for that, instead of surprising you once the food comes. We ordered the Mongolian beef with rice and it came out almost immediately, it was crazy fast and I loved how tender the beef was and this is the first place I have ever been happy with how many vegetables they included in a dish. I know they are the cheaper part to include, but most places opt to just give you a smaller portion of beef and onions, but this place gives a nice amount of beef and a whole boatload of onions and green onions, which I LOVE. (I reeeeeeeally like onions.) I will say that I am pretty sensitive to oil, so I only took a couple of bites of food while we were here and we got a box to take the rest of our food home so I could eat it in the privacy of my own home because it was pretty oily. So if you have a sensitive digestive system (or don't have a gallbladder), you will probably want to take this to-go. The last thing I will say is that it can be a little... stand-offish... that the guy at the front counter didn't look up from his phone pretty much the entire time we were there. He was on his phone when we walked in, we stood there confused so he gets up and grabs two waters so we assumed we seated ourselves, he headed back to the counter and hopped back on his phone, rang up my order, went back to his phone... that would be awesome if I were a regular here, knew what to do, didn't want to talk to anybody... first time though, it kind of made us feel like he'd rather us not be cutting into his TikTok scrolling time. I'll probably still be back to grab takeout when I'm in the area though.

    Upfront, I'd warn this place would have probably gotten a 5 if we didn't take it home. But it went hard regardless. Known for their hand pulled noodles, this place was small and filled with epic asian seating of all sorts (including the kind for solo/introvert goers to face the wall). We knew we had to lock in on the noodles and dumplings and were excited to get to see them being made in the kitchen while we waited for our order. Another kiosk in waiting (forever my favorite means of ordering), we went for half the menu: Scallion pancake, garlic chicken wings, pork and green onion dumplings-boiled, shrimp fried rice, and braised beef noodle soup. We took it home and probably close to 2 hours since our original pickup, we warmed everything vía microwave and there was no flavor compromised. The noodles for the soup was packaged separately to maintain their integrity. The helping of fried rice was big and the shrimp were not small or decorative with plenty to go around. The chicken wings had good flavor but smaller than the picture depicted upon ordering. Do yourself a favor and order more than one scallion pancake since you won't want to share. Dumplings were great and probably would go pan fried next time for more texture but came with a tasty chili oil to compliment. The noodles were tasty and the broth had that "ive been cooking long time" flavor you always want. We didnt get the depicted slab of meat from the images but some of these felt like things that would have been secured with dining in. It's worth the rave it currently has for the noodles and honestly just great flavor. I'd return for in person soup, some of the noodle dishes and to try their soup dumpling. Plus scallion pancakes for days, no doubt.

    This is my husband to-go place for Chinese food. He loves the braised beef noodle soup and I like to try different things on the menu. This visit, I tried the Kung pao with beef and rice. It was rich with flavors-sweet and spicy and more than enough serving for one person. The pork dumplings are also pretty good and make sure to try it with the dipping sauce. This is probably my favorite dish. As for service, there's a QR code that you can order food from and pay at the same time. Food comes out pretty quick. And if you don't want to use the QR code, you can order from the staff too. Ambiance, you can catch up on the latest K-pop music while enjoying your meal! Plenty of seatings for 2 or more. Looking forward to the next thing to try on the menu!

    Hand pulled noodles with great texture-not too soft and not too hard. Ordered several items- braised beef ramen, veggie noodle soup, veggie fried noodles, kimchi, and shrimp fried rice. Everything was really good the braised beef ramen was the stand out though. I was under the impression we were to place the order ourselves either at the kiosk or from our phone but a waitress does eventually come. Our waitress was nice but I wouldn't say this is a service forward restaurant. A drink order isn't taken when the waitress approaches you order anything you have decided on at the same time. The restaurant itself is clean and inviting. The noodles are top notch so definitely order at least one thing that includes the hand pulled noodles.

    Met here with my friend for between lunch and dinner. This is a small but cozy location that if you don't know where you're going, you could miss it completely. I'm talking , the sign is barely a few shades away from the brick. If you do know where to go, the food is delish! The dumpling pics online were super tempting so I got those with some spring rolls. There's a drink fountain for refills on soda and water, as well as canned drinks and teas available. Really, it's all very automated with a QR menu, self serve refills, and the server coming out to bring you your food and initial water. We did go up to the counter to get a to go bowl for her ramen, but that's the only other interaction with staff we had. If you're looking for recommendations or conversation and connection with staff, this isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a cozy place to unwind without feeling looked at constantly by staff, this is a great place.

    Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Adrianna U.

    Heard the hype and wanted to give it a try. We decided to get a noodle dish, soup and dumplings. Let me tell you- the food does not disappoint here! Everything was super flavorful. The noodles are looong and have that homemade texture. I also liked how the soup tastes flavorful but not over-salted. They give you some scissors to help cut them which is nice. The pork dumplings tasted so fresh and juicy, I think they were my favorite thing I tried. I also devoured my whole order of sweet and sour cucumbers. Other reviews have also discussed the LACK of service. Basically you order off a QR code and don't see a waiter until your food comes around. Difficult to get anyone's attention if you have questions or need a water refills. The vibes are very much centered around take-out and fast service. I definitely plan to be back many times to try more menu items. The soups will be so nice to have with colder weather.

    Located in a strip mall in a more discount section, the physical restaurant is okay, but not where you want to go for a dining experience. Many banquets are ripped and overall ambiance is lackluster. Staff could use some training on personal skills. I don't believe our waiters spoke more than ten words to us the entire visit. Upon arrival you find your own table, scan a QR code to get menu and place order. Once completed, a waiter dropped off waters without a word. Food arrived promptly and is the reason for going there. I like spice and was happy with the chilies and chili oil floating in my soup. Wife had a milder version and broth had great flavor. Soup dumplings were some of the best I've had recently; thin dough and good amount of broth. Food - 5 Ambiance & Service - 3 Therefor overall 4- rating

    I've had this place bookmarked on instagram for awhile now, and finally with a friends push I went and am SO glad I did. This place is DEFINITELY worth all the hype it gets. The personalization of hand-pulled noodles is something I don't think you can find anywhere else nearby. They run on an online ordering system which is a little tricky, but besides that the service was pretty good and the food was DELICIOUS!! I mean look at this photo. You can taste the effort that goes into every dish. It was SO good. I cannot wait to go back.

    I was really excited to try Mr Noodle as the reviews have been nothing short of amazing. I will say the noodles were the perfect texture but I was rather underwhelmed by the lack of flavor in all my dishes. We started with the dumplings, chili oil dumplings and soup noodles. All of the appetizers came out at separate times. The chili oil noodles were very heavy on the oil but no heat, no real flavor to the sauce. Soup dumplings and regular steamed dumplings were tasty. Our mains came out and none of us could even finish our food. I had cold noodles with beef. The sauce was dry. My meal was pretty flavorless. Same with everyone else's meal. My sister got the beef noodle soup. My mother got a tomato based dish. Both, again, flavorless. Our service was also very slow and they were not very attentive. Overall my experience at Mr Noodle was not the best but again, other reviews are amazing so maybe that was just a bad day.

    Kung Pao Chicken
    Ella K.

    Mr. Noodle lived up to the hype. The chicken lo mein was very savory and the noddles were perfectly bouncy. The braised beef noodle soup was good but needed a richer flavor, it was a bit more watery than expected, but the chili oil and vinegar helped. The kung pao chicken was good, but the real highlight was the steamed soup dumplings! The wrapper was perfectly thin and the filleting was well seasoned. The service is iffy. They never gave us our steamed pork bao nor our spring rolls, and dismissed us when we tried to ask about it.

    Chao Tian Fu may be gone, but the staff has pivoted to hand pulled noodles which is a fantastic addition to the dire Asian food scene in RVA. The menu has a great selection of soups, stir fries and noodles. I've had the braised beef hand pulled noodles, kung pao chicken, pumpkin steamed buns and various dumplings. All are very tasty. Getting seated and ordering are straight forward as you just scan your barcode at the table and pay directly on your phone. The service here is hit or miss as it does get busy and orders get lost in the whirlwind of meal service so you might have to flag down the server to get all the items you've ordered. +1 Vibe +1 Taste +1 Presentation +0 Service +1 Value

    I haven't reviewed Peter Chang's in a while so decided I'd revisit and make a new assessment. I can…read moreconfirm this is the best Chinese food in the area. And it's not dumbed down American Chinese at all. My husband and I both work from home so we get to go have lunch at area restaurants from time to time. We have our regular places and we order Peter Chang's for takeout sometimes, but when we were deciding where to eat and knowing we were short on time, I suggested Peter Chang. For our meal we ordered dumplings, which were amazing. The dipping sauce was to die for...I need to research it and try to make it. We also got the scallion pancake, which came with a curry dipping sauce. Also very good. For lunch there is a menu that is typical of Chinese restaurants where you get a choice of soup (I chose hot and sour) and rice (I chose white rice). For my main I selected hot and numbing chicken from the lunch menu. My husband got three pepper steak. We also got jasmine tea, although if you prefer an adult beverage they have a bar. The food was excellent, service was attentive but not overbearing. It was a great meal and we both have lots of leftovers. The restaurant can be a bit noisy because it's just a big open room, but it's okay. The table next to use was loud talkers with no inside voice, so I got to hear all about their trip to Charlottesville for a concert. Sounds like they had a good time. I wish people were more self-aware about the volume of their voices in public but maybe his ears were wrecked from the concert. P.S. Peter Chang was the chef to a Chinese dignitary like an ambassador so he's the real deal.

It had too much soy sauce and you couldn't taste anything else. The white rice was dry and undercooked. I feel like this is an utter travesty. I was at least expecting good rice. The golden mountain had great flavor but I think it was a mistake to eat it at home. It was mushy by the time we ate it. You can taste the spite in general Tso's chicken. It's like they don't want you to order it. The flavor is just sweet without any complexity. I've had better flavored general Tso sauce from grocery store brands. It was also mushy by the time we ate it. I would never order this again from them.

Walking in, it was completely empty, no customers. By the time I left, several tables were sat and they had a steady stream of carry-out/delivery pickups. The service was very spotty, as they only had two people working the dining room and so many people went without someone checking them in, I waited about 15 mins for my check and those delivery drivers formed a line waiting for their pickups. I tried their spicy cucumber salad and their three pepper beef, but I sub'd out the beef for chicken instead. The cucumbers were decent, they had a nice spice to them and the vegetable itself was fresh. The three pepper chicken came out on a sizzling platter (a fajita platter with aluminum foil on it) and looked pretty good. My first few bites had the great flavor of wok hei, which I love! But I quickly noticed there was no other flavor other than some sort of pickled pepper flavor, which is very odd in Chinese food. The chicken texture was great, but the entire dish was swimming in vegetal oil, it wasn't dry spiced and wok'd. Overall, this visit was only slightly better than the first, only because they were open this time. But I most definitely wouldn't return. I absolutely love and seek out authentic Chinese foods (Szechuan, Hunan, etc) when I travel and those this place offers many authentic style dishes, they seem a little too "Americanized."

I believe the original was on Grove where EAT Partner's Beijing on Grove is now located. I stopped in for a take-out order. I ordered Gen Tso's Chicken, hot and sour soup, fried rice, pork lo mein and a shrimp spring roll. The General Tso's chicken was awful. The chicken was a mushy clump of cubed, fried chicken. The chicken was no longer crisp (I've brought home or had delivered Gen Tso's and Orange Chicken in which the batter was still crisp, so no excuse for this when I was only about 3 miles from home). The chicken was swimming in a thick, overly sweet sauce that had WAY too much cornstarch. The fried rice *looked* like it would be good, but I have a feeling the dark color was mostly from dark/black soy sauce which mostly gives color to a dish. The rice was literally tasteless. I had to add some low-sodium soy to give it some flavor. The pork lo mein was equally as tasteless as the fried rice. The slices of roast pork were so dry that without dipping it into some sauce (which looked like extra oil on the bottom of the container), it got stuck in my throat. I make my own roast pork for making my own egg rolls and it's a ton more flavorful than this was. The shrimp roll has some shrimp in it, though I couldn't really taste it. Biting into the spring roll released a bunch of oil onto the wrapper. Not very appetizing. The ONLY decent thing in the order was the hot and sour soup. It had a good balance of heat, and vinegar. I think I tasted some bamboo shoots, and there may have been some mushrooms, but really good hot & sour (like I've had in Chinatown in NY, San Francisco and Washington D.C.) has tree ear mushrooms (also known as black fungus), dried lily flowers, and other ingredients that I didn't see or taste in this soup. But it was NOT too thick which was great as some restaurants use too much cornstarch. This was a lunch combo (Gen Tso, fried rice, hot and sour soup) and the lo mein and shrimp roll was separate. All in all, the total was just over $24 and definitely not worth it. I can't see going back to this restaurant again.
