Deliciousness abounds at Noodle Lane. Daughter and I showed up for dinner around 7:30 pm or so. Place was packed but we were seated quickly at the last remaining table. Server was friendly and efficient. We started with drinks (wine and a lemonade), then started with pork dumplings (savory and hot) and cucumber salad (crunchy and lightly flavored). Mains were green beans (crisp, green and perfect garlic/salt flavoring!) and the fried noodles with chicken. Absolutely the perfect meal. Bonus: gelato for dessert down the street. The restaurant is small, bright and clean. We walked there, so didn't worry about street parking. We felt welcomed when we arrived and satisfied when we left. I would make this a regular stop if I lived in Park Slope! read more

If I could give them 6 stars I would. Especially the servers Maycol and Zay. They are extremely professional and always attentive. They provided excellent service and the food was also wonderful. We had the chicken soup dumplings, pan fried chicken and celery dumplings, lo mein with chicken, pan fried noodles with chicken and it was spectacular. Super flavorful. We tried the cocktails as well and were not disappointed. Excellent wine options and the servers are very knowledgeable on the available items. Overall it was an amazing experience, the music and environment is well worth the visit too. read more

Ordered Cantonese food for the lunar new year and ended up with probably the worst impression food to share. The beef chow fun had no beef (+$2 extra for beef), the dumpling were small and disappointing, and the dan dan noodle was nothing like the photos on Yelp. I hate to have to review a restaurant so bad, but I'm just so disappointed. read more

Great service and ambiance! The restaurant feels very clean and simple. It's cute they have printed instructions on how to eat soup dumplings. The food was delicious we got - squid mala hotpot dry - pickled fish soup Szechuan style - crab and pork soup dumpling The soup dumplings were delicious with just the right amount of thickness for the skin wrappers - thin yet still strong enough to hold the soup and fillings. The squid mala dry hotpot we asked for it to be the least spicy since my partner can't eat spicy food. It was delicious but it was more sauce-y than usual for a dry pot dish. Their version is perfect for someone who likes this dish but can't eat spicy. The pickled fish soup was a miss for me. I was excited since it was the recommended dish. I did not like the garlic yellow soup mixed with peppercorn. There were also barely any pickled vegetables. The sour taste was good but paired strangely with the numbing peppercorn. I've had different variations of pickled fish/spicy fish fillet soup and this is definitely the strangest one I've had. read more

Good solid addition to Park Slope's Asian dining. It's an upgrade from your usual no frills Chinese takeout, good for families to sit down and enjoy their meal. The soup dumplings are pretty decent. The crispy noodles was not what I expected though because I'm thinking the crispy noodles you get from big Chinese banquet restaurants. This version reminded me too much of the white wash American Chinese takeout instead. My husband tried the Dan Dan noodles and unfortunately it missed the mark for him. He loves DanDan and he found this dish to be lacking. Service was good. Restaurant was clean and decor is nice. read more

We ordered the Dan Dan noodles without pork and the pan fried noodles with shrimp. Noodles were quite average for the price paid. They taste the same as noodles you'd get from the corner Chinese restaurant. Cute, small, and clean restaurant in the area though read more

Ordered beef chow fun and dan dan noodles. The chow fun came without beef despite paying for it. The food itself was horrible. The dandan noodles tasted like they were lightly dusted with watered down sriracha rather than the correct preparation. The food is also more expensive than it deserves to be. If they are going to use cheap ingredients they should charge the cheap price. The images of the food are deceptive. All in all, dont come here read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat or to sit in and catch up with a friend/whomever! The restaurant has a clean aesthetic and the staff is welcoming. I loved the way the menu (drinks menu to be precise) tells you what the drinks pair well with on the menu. Great for the indecisive peeps (Thank you )! The pork soup dumplings were tasty. Flavorful and warmed me right up Thank you for a yummy bite! read more

Pissed they couldn't even do soy sauce noodles right. It wasn't even the right color! The ingredients are literally noodles and soy sauce and they forgot one of them. And they have the audacity to charge $17 for it. That ain't demure! The pork chive potstickers were ok. You get five sad ones and a weird potsticker sauce. Man, Noodle you gotta stay in your own Lane! read more

Tried their Rice Noodles Dan Style with pork at their stand for Smorgasbord. The dish is reasonably priced (about $15) for the portion. The pork is slightly spicy and gives the bouncy noodles a nice glaze. I recommend adding extra hoisin so that each noodle is packed with flavor. Great dish at an excellent stand read more

Third time is a charm! Third time we ate here and we were thoroughly impressed with the food and service. The food TASTES authentic, good Cantonese food, not American Chinese food (no General Tso chicken here, thank goodness). The kitchen looks so clean and delicious-I love the open window where you can watch dumplings being made...from freshly made dough and mounds of delicious filling. We got the chili fish (HUGE POT of fish and tongue-numbing Szechuan peppers). That dish alone is 10 STARS! The house fried rice is legit. The dumplings are made from scratch and just delightful. I'd skip the basic beef broccoli and other typical fast food dishes. There's so many delicious and authentic dishes to enjoy, don't you waste your calories on common dishes. read more

Noodle lane has good soup dumplings but they are pricey. The skin is sturdy yet thin and flavor is good. The pickled fish and mapo tofu were delicious, can be more spicy. Got a lunch special of beef and string beans which was mostly rice so I don't recommend getting them maybe. Get their more traditional Chinese dishes. Also discounts for NYP workers. read more

I am updating my review to reflect my experience having read the owner's response to my initial review. She has made accusations towards me as her customer, of perpetuating damaging stereotypes against Chinese cuisine despite my review never having slandered her food or its quality, just its prices. I did not, have not, and will never target Chinese cuisine or culture. Kind of silly to be racist towards myself and my ancestry, no? While the owner has tried to turn the tables and spin it around to seem as though I am a bad guy that's targeting Chinese cuisine, I stand by my initial review. I find her food too expensive. You can buy just as high quality, carefully prepared food, (Chinese, Thai, or otherwise) along 7th avenue. If this place is within your budget, then all the more power to you. However, affordability is still important which is why I pointed out my issues with this restaurants pricing. I'm sorry to say the owner took severe personal offense to it. To Lane, Thank you for your response to my review both here on Yelp and on Google. I appreciate the time you've taken to respond to me, and commend you for offering a 10% discount to hospital employees. I enjoyed the food at your restaurant. However, I'm entitled to my opinion that the quality of your ingredients don't make it worth $20 after tax for fried rice for myself personally, and for many of my colleagues who also agree that your prices are quite expensive. I understand that you feel defensive towards my complaints of your prices but I'm appalled by your accusations that I am intentionally targeting and perpetuating damaging stereotypes against Chinese cuisine. I don't dispute the fact that the cuisine is complex and sophisticated. Nor do I dispute the complexities and challenges that come with owning a business, especially a restaurant in a highly competitive neighborhood such as Park Slope. You are the one seemingly perpetuating damaging stereotypes by insinuating that my reference to a nearby Thai restaurant whose prices happen to be SLIGHTLY cheaper than yours, uses lesser quality ingredients. You are pushing a false narrative and are being hypocritical. You stated that dishes of the same type can be bought in Chinatown but they're not the same quality. Are you insinuating they are lesser quality, certainly not comparable to your restaurant it seems. You have the best quality + preparation and can thus upcharge your customers because Chinese food isn't supposed to be "cheap" in order to taste good? Higher prices aren't an indication of quality food or service. As a restaurateur, you should be aware of that. Chinatown is infamous for having some of the best authentic Chinese food, and it's affordable, not cheap. That's the keyword and the point to my review that you seem to be missing. Chinatown understands that its clientele, fellow Chinese-Americans and other AAPI, like myself, appreciate lower prices without compromising the high standards that Chinese cuisine demands. Your prices are higher than your neighboring restaurants and that isn't hearsay or speculation, it's a fact. Yes, there are restaurants who charge more than you, but you still have high prices nonetheless. Anyone can google and make the comparisons themselves. And in what world do you live in where you think charging $16 after tax for fried rice is considered cheap? None of the restaurants lining 7th avenue are cheap, and you are no exception. I fully understand that your food and your restaurant are your pride and joy. I'm so glad that you take such great pride in your business and I fully support owners who don't take nonsense from customers who are not always right. In this case, I do not appreciate the accusations that my review is perpetuating damaging stereotypes against Chinese cuisine. Your inability to graciously accept constructive criticism from a customer who did not slander your food or its quality, shows me that your ego is more important than being able to effectively communicate with someone who disagrees with your pricing. You spun it around and made me seem like a bad guy for stating a simple fact which is: you're overpricing your food. You are not the only restaurant on the block who uses the freshest, and finest, and highest quality ingredients for your specific cuisine. I'm very disappointed in your response which I found to be hostile and above all, hypocritical, which is a shame. As Chinese-Americans we should be uplifting our cuisine by making it accessible to ALL types of budgets and maintaining an open dialogue within and outside of our communities so that we may learn how to serve one another better. I hope you are able to see different perspectives and accept differing opinions with regard to your business practices. And perhaps one day, you can humbly listen to everyone in the community that you serve, and not just the upper classes who can afford to live in Park Slope and pay for your $19 before tax, fried rice. read more

Park Slope can be a bit tricky with Chinese food. You have the 3-4 stalwarts that have been around for a very long time, interchangeably they all do the job but never really blown away. Some newer places are very prices but you dont really get your monies worth. Noodle lane is, fortunately, not one of those places. It's a welcoming space whether for lunch or dinner. It's a bit pricier than some other places but, for the most part, the food is very good. Especially enjoy the chow fun, the wonton soup and their soup dumplings. It's not usually something I order but their general tso's is consistently really, really good. There's a bunch more things I want to try. Most of all though, their service is what separates them. Everyone I've encountered who works there is lovely. Every once in a while my mom will come to my neighborhood, we go to noodle lane and we get a beer and a lunch special. They always treat us great and it makes the fun, whimsical-ness of having a lunchtime beer with a parent all the more special. For me Noodle Lane has carved out a special place in the neighborhood in a relatively short time. read more

The dough on the pork xiao long bao is as close as it gets to the ones at din tai fung. And they are so big, it comes with their own large spoon to hold the whole dumpling. The cold noodles were also rich in peanut sauce and refreshing on a hot and humid day. The service was quick and I would definitely stop by Noodle Lane if I ever need something quick in the ar read more

Best fried noodles! I travel from NJ to Brooklyn just to grab some fried noodles! Light and tasty but most of all delicious

Was so delicious and the service was excellent. Elia and Edmund were so helpful and kind.

We ordered take-out last night. Most of the dishes were flavorful and good. However, the portions for all of the main dishes were VERY small! The appetizers were fine but I was shocked that we spent $180 and got such a small amount of food. My husband, who always says, "things cost what they cost, said it was over priced. And, his comment was what made me write this review! read more

I have to second Aly O's review from a few months ago. I also ordered the Dan Dan Noodles and was underwhelmed by them. I'd ordered my meal as takeout but if I were dining in the restaurant I probably would have sent it back on first sight. There was almost no meat and it just looked generally uninspired. Sending it back wasn't an option though, so I ate it and It tasted exactly how it looked - like a bowl of plain spaghetti tossed in chili oil. As others have mentioned, the prices are on the higher end for this kind of fare. Personally, I'm fine with that, so long as the food meets the expectations that come with the price, but this particular dish didn't even look like it was trying. I'm hopeful that the owners are reading these reviews and trying to improve still because I want this place to live up to its potential and I think some of the dishes do so more than others. My son got soup dumplings and those were much better. read more

My husband and I order Chinese food 3 to 4 times a month. Our favorite Chinese restaurant recently closed so we have been searching for a new favorite. We ordered from this place yesterday. My husband specifically told them on the phone that we didn't want anything that was too spicy. We ordered soup dumplings that were OK. Not great but OK. I love cold sesame noodles and we always order them from any place we go. The ones we got from this place were too spicy to eat. I'm not quite sure why their cold noodles were spicy because I've had them from everywhere and they're never spicy. We ordered young chow fried rice, which was edible, but that's about all I can say about it. It was mostly rice and very little of anything else. We also ordered eggplant which was also too spicy to eat. This meal was a total failure and we were very disappointed. read more

LOVE their food especially pickled fish and dumplings! They are definitely using high-quality ingredients and you can even see how their employees prepare dumplings and other dishes. This place is very clean and has a kid-friendly menu and service. If you're looking for an upscale casual restaurant with authentic Chinese dishes, I highly suggest this place! read more

Let me preface this by saying I have eaten Chinese food - specifically Cantonese food all of my life, or as my dad would just call it, food. My father owned a restaurant in Chinatown, so I think I'm qualified to leave an impactful review. I ordered the wonton noodle soup, pan fried pork and chive dumplings and pork soup dumplings. Wonton noodle soup - first, the veggies. Bok choi was cut up in a thoughtful way. Wontons - just the right amount of shrimp to give it the right chew to it. The broth made me really go back to Chinatown, which warmed my soul. Pan fried pork and chive dumplings - nice crisp on the outside, filled skillfully to the brim, and great dipping sauce. Soup dumplings left a little to be desired, but still solid. I didn't get a dipping sauce for this? Vibe - open window kitchen ala DTF. I love it. The food is good clean food and they aren't afraid to show it. I've been waiting for something like this in the neighborhood. See you soon. read more

I'm delighted that this place is in my 'hood. Noodle Lane presents a carefully curated set of mostly Cantonese dishes, with some Sichuan references. Astute eaters will note that this is a departure from many Chinese restaurants, which have menus as long as your arm. My journey through the menu so far 小笼包 / Xialongbao / Soup dumplings (I had the pork version) - excellent rendition of this dish. Wonton soup - this was the first dish I tried here, on my way to a Pilates class, so I wanted something light. This showcases the skills of the kitchen, because there's no way to hide a lack of skill or care in this dish. It was utterly beautiful in its simplicity, so much so that I came back in the evening with a friend. Singapore Mei Fun - this dish, which probably originated in Hong Kong and not Singapore, is a dry fried rice vermicelli with curry powder, veggies, and shrimp. A wonderful dish, something I'd been looking for for a while. I hope they'll put Amoy / Xiamen Mei Fun on the menu. Noodle Soup - a perfect, warming bowl for a cold day. Shrimp Paste Fried Rice - shrimp paste is funky, fishy, and has a ton of umami, but it doesn't dominate in this dish. Happy mouth. Sichuan Chicken with Bamboo Shoots / Sichuan Pork with Bamboo Shoots - not quite the mouth-numbing málà and tongue-searing chile you might expect from a Sichuan restaurant, these are satisfying and wonderful. Beef with Black Bean Sauce - what's not to love about this? Velveted beef, and vegetables that are threatened with heat but not cooked into submission. Dry Pot Cauliflower - another dish with shrimp paste, augmented with garlic and pork belly. Bring a friend. read more

I returned for another solo meal. I had the garlic chicken and it was delicious. I just wish they used some vegetables other than just onions and bell peppers. I get tired of the bell peppers. Service was friendly and attentive, which isn't always true for solo diners. read more

Had a craving for some Dan Dan noodles and dumplings and saw we had a new restaurant in the area! Was so excited to try after seeing all the positive reviews. 1) Dan Dan noodle didn't really scratch my itch. It was lacking meat and flavor. It wasn't bad but it's not something I'd ever order from here again. Not a fan. 2) scallion pancake: this was probably the biggest disappointment of my order. They didn't taste like anything. Where is the scallion? I barely saw any and it just tasted like fried dough. 3) Pork & Chive dumplings: we'll end on a high note. I could eat a thousand of these. They were perfect! If everything else was this flavorful, I'd have given them 5 stars, no question. These puppies were packed with happiness and if I ever have a craving for dumplings again, I'll be ordering these. Maybe they're still dialing things in? They're still new so I don't want to be too harsh. That being said, if you're gonna have noodle in the name, your noodles should be great too! read more

Stopped by for dinner on Lunar New Years and left thoroughly impressed by the selection, quality and service. We ordered the crab and pork soup dumplings (a must), fish in chili sauce, salt and pepper shrimp and mala pork belly. The food came out hot, flavorful, and true to taste. The only drawback was that we didn't order more soup dumplings but rest assured this will be remedied next visit! read more

Amazing food, definitely recommend the soup dumplings. Visited a few times with two young kids. We shared a few dishes and ate everything. Will visit again. read more

Great food, fast service, fresh veggies! We loved the pork and chive dumplings and the noodle soup -- add bok choy.

4.5 * Really good place and great food - and nice people We like the location and its new and fresh and modern - really hard to get good modern Chinese today so we will be back to try more on the menu read more

I Can't Believe So Many People Love This Place! I really don't like leaving negative reviews; I know how hard people work to have a successful restaurant. But tbh - the two stars was generous. Pan fried dumplings - had no taste ( I'm guessing soup dumplings might have been a better choice) and the scallion pancake was kinda a wedge of cardboard. The General Tso's shrimp was ok but not great; kinda soggy which I understand can be a problem with take-out; perhaps it would have tasted better in the restaurant. And lastly the chow fun had way too much ginger. To my taste, this is not a dish that lends itself to heavy-handed ginger; I guess other folks must like it. Anyway, I'll continue to look for good Chinese food elsewhere. read more

Unfortunately our food-- noodles and green beans was just "meh". It lacked flavor and was not to our expectations.

Ok/average Chinese food with fast service. The menu can be confusing for vegans as the staff don't know the difference of vegetarian and vegans. We had the fried rice which the egg didn't taste very fresh. The cucumber salad was too sweet for my tastes. read more

Would never eat here or order from here again. First and only time. The food was mediocre at best and expensive for what it was. Everything was bland. The dumplings, pork buns, lo mein and beef and broccoli were disappointing. Many better options in the neighborhood. read more

Some of the best food we've had in Brooklyn! So consistently good! We are obsessed with the Dan Dan noodles! Highly recommend!

It had been a long time since I'd been excited about Chinese food, but dining at Noodle Lane on a recent Sunday evening changed that completely. This is damn good food- intensely flavorful, surprising, beautifully presented. We have eaten take-out from Noodle Lane several times and always enjoyed- particularly the soup dumplings- which have to be tried to be believed- but dining in the restaurant made the food taste even more delicious. Along with dumplings and our noodle favorites- we tried two dishes that were new-to-us: Mala Dry Pot with shrimp, and Pickled Fish Sichuan Style. Mala Dry Pot was chock full of things I love- crunch from cauliflower and veg, tofu, sesame, and a delicious sauce, despite the word "dry" in the dish name. The Pickled Fish was unlike anything I've ever had- tart and spicy at the same time, but not too hot, so that the flavors shone through. We had a side of green and fresh seasonal veg and enjoyed a nice Gruner Veltliner with the meal- cooling and bright paired with the bold flavors. Throughout the evening, the service was professional and warm, though the staff was hopping with lots of tables filled and lots of take-out orders being prepared. We were near the kitchen- which has a big window to see where the magic takes place- in a cozy corner. Noodle Lane is such a great addition to the neighborhood- though also worth coming to from afar. The interior is bright and modern but also cozy; a comfortable space for a gathering of two or three friends; and also nice for families. Our kid loves the food! We enjoyed the neighborliness of the restaurant and seeing people we knew, having a short-but-sweet conversation before they left. Our experience dining at Noodle Lane came at the end of an incredibly busy period and it was so nice to simply sit back, relax, and be treated to amazing food. You should come treat yourselves, too! read more

Always good!!! Great food, homemade dumplings and wonderful service. Would recommend very strongly.
