I've been looking for salt and pepper shrimp for AGES!!! It hit the spot. Love that they do hand pulled noodles here, I had a bite of a friend's tomato beef brisket noodle soup and it was delicious. Located in a small shopping center plaza, but a decent sized dining area inside. Highly recommend the salt and spicy shrimp and the pork wontons!
Oh Noodle Man. How is it that I like none of the actual noodle dishes but love all of your appetizers and other stuff?! I have been to the VB location a few years ago and didn't like anything I had ordered. I was hoping this time would be different. The salt and pepper shrimp and such was delicious. As was the cucumber salad and everything. But the actual noodles itself? Overpowering with star anise and Szechuan peppers-- so much so I tasted nothing else and breathing foul odors for the next few days I swear. The potato noodles were hard to chew and easily could become a choking hazard. The service was fast and friendly despite the busy dinner hours. The restaurant had plenty of seats inside and the orders became available fast. Very little to no wait without feeling rushed. Like my dining companion said, everything but the noodles are good here. I should have heeded the warning. Parking is free and most major cards accepted. Unless a friend insists on going, this is not a must visit spot for me. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to friends and family but hey. To each their own.
Great noodle place! The spicy wontons were very good but the broth could be better 4/5. Tomato/beef noodle was great with a great broth 5/5. Service was quick. Plenty of TV's on the wall.
My husband works down in that area and offered to bring home takeout for me and it was yummy! I tried the Mushu chicken with no mushrooms and onions instead. The order was correct and the container was packed to the top with delicious food! It had a good flavor and I am looking forward to trying out more of their dishes! Very good noodles! My husband ordered it and picked it up so I can't speak for the inside and he said it didn't take too long for the order to be ready.
Good service and it is a larger restaurant than the virginia beach location. I got C3 mongolian beef stir-fried noodle and added broccoli. I know to add veggies from going to the VA Beach location. I thought it was a little too salty. I would like it better with less sauce just because the sauce was so salty. My husband got B2 Tomato/Beef brisket noodle soup. That was perfect and delicious. We both loved A5 salt & spicy pork chop. When they bring it you can ask for a dipping sauce. I like that so much better because it adds a sweetness to the salty spice. It is a nice restaurant but Even with the smaller VA Beach location. The VA Beach restaurants food seems to be just a little better.
Second time here. The pork wontons in chili oil was way too hot and I wasn't able to enjoy it. The stir fried Mongolia noodles were amazing though! Service was also fast!
Great service!! Went in for lunch around 12:20'and was out by 1pm.... Perfect for the lunch crowd and people that work close by. First time here.. Went with the Mongolian Beef Noodles.... It was great, flavorful. The sauce was not that spicy, and the noodles were perfectly cooked.. My only negative with this dish is that the noodles were too long.. so you spend a lot of time spinning your fork to get the noodles to ball up on the fork.. and that left little room to get some beef or veggies.. so what happens is you eat all the noodles and then you are left with beef and onions in a sauce with no noodles. Not a bad thing, perhaps if the noodles were shorter it would have been easier to get beef, noodles, and veggies all at once onto your fork.. Overall.. loved the speed of the restaurant. The flavors were great.. and I will definitely be back!!
First experience here, our waitress was very quick and kept our drinks filled the entire evening. They had two tv's above the counter area with some food shows on, one with a mini cooking show with everything being tiny but fully edible. It caught our attention for most of our dinner lol. The kids chicken noodle soup its huge! So may be able to split between two littles. I got the bugolgi and its was alright, not bad but not something I would get here again, just wasn't a strong flavor. Same with the salt and spicy wings, they were juicy and a good crunch but no spice at all, even with the jalapeños on top, it didnt really have that kick I would have expected. Even with the place being pretty busy it wasn't that loud inside which was nice to be able to chat at the table. In all I would give a 4.5 just think some of the flavors were lacking tonight but nothing was bad.
Went early (4 PM) specifically to beat the dinner rush and enjoy a relaxed meal. Started with a drink and ordered the Fried Salt and Spicy Wings as an appetizer, planning to take my time deciding on an entree. Unfortunately, "taking my time" wasn't really an option -- my server came back twice while I was still reading the menu to ask for my entree order. I get wanting to be attentive, but it felt more like being rushed, especially since the restaurant was nowhere near full (only 4 tables total, 2 servers). I ended up ordering the Shredded Chicken with Garlic Sauce, which tasted great. But the entree came out first, and I was already halfway through it by the time my wings finally arrived. I understand fried wings take a bit to cook, so I don't fault the kitchen for that -- but I do think the server/kitchen should have paced the order better, since sending the entree out first defeated the whole point of ordering an appetizer to start. On top of the timing, the wings themselves were disappointing -- despite being called "Salt and Spicy," they lacked seasoning across the board. For a dish built around flavor in the name, that was a letdown. To finish it off, once the food was on the table, my server never checked in -- not once, despite having only two tables the entire time I was there. Overall: the entree was genuinely good, but the underseasoned wings, backwards pacing, and lack of any follow-up really brought down the experience. For a slow period with a light table count, I expected better-managed timing and more attentiveness.
Try out something new with hubby during our self care day and we treated ourselves to this noodle spot where everything is made fresh. The waitress very nice and very attentive to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and the atmosphere is more relaxed and comfortable for both solo,couple and group. I got the tomato and beef noodle soups which reminded me of a traditional pho which was nice and light and the broth had that warm beef flavor with tomato adding that acidic taste to balance out the meat and soup the beef was very good it was just a little bit of tough for me to eat but it was delicious. And the noodles are made hand made and fresh so all my noodles lover this place is for you and ramen lovers. I also tried the salt and spicy crispy chicken the waiter was informative of getting us a heads up with certain things and I also appreciate that she also said for chicken there a 15 minute wait on it because it's made fresh out and not made prior which was worth the wait the chicken was nice and crispy with aftertaste of salt to cut down the richness of the chicken and it was very juicy not dry at all.
First Asian restaurant we've tried in Chesapeake, and while the presentation and portions were good, the flavors didn't quite match up. The tomato brisket noodle soup was the most flavorful of what we ordered--the noodles and meat were a perfect ratio, though the broth could've used more depth. Same with the wonton noddle soup. The salt and spicy chicken was juicy and enjoyable, but a little more seasoning would've really brought it to life. Restaurant was clean with plenty of seating and staff was nice and quick. Also, price point for the menu items were reasonable.
Food is AMAZING! We tried it a few weeks ago and we have returned about 4 times now! The service so far has been excellent every time, very quick and courteous. The restaurant itself is clean and we love being able to watch them make the noodles!Definitely visit this restaurant!
Receipt is included Best Chinese food spot, specifically Sam's Circle since they have the Shaanxi Knife Sliced Noodle Soup 5/5 - Shaanxi Knife Sliced Noodle Soup + Chicken with Garlic Sauce Stir-Fried Noodle - The 1st item's noodles seems like it had a change since they weren't as firm and thick as usual. The 2nd item's noodles weren't too much. But there's a lot of chicken on both noodle items so it's easily worth 3/5 - Pork Wonton with Chili Oil - Soft texture with a non-spicy chili oil
Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the hand-pulled noodles, friendly and attentive staff, and an inviting atmosphere. Portions are also seen as generous.

Average review because our party was so divided on their opinions. Service was pretty lackluster. Our waitress did the bare minimums without a lot of friendliness. Other waitresses were much warmer to their tables so I think ours was just having an off night. My husband enjoyed his brisket soup and said it was flavored well & had lots of beef. My son had the wonton soup and it was pretty bland and only had two tiny wontons. It was just "fine". I did not like my mushu chicken at all. Very little veggies and chicken was very rubbery. We also had the honey teriyaki shrimp to start and while the sauce was nice, it definitely tasted like they needed to change their fry oil. So just average for us. We won't be back I don't think. For the price, we can find better. read more

The food at noodle man is quick, hot, and fresh. The noodle soups we ordered came out as hot as soup should be served and the noodles were thick and chewy, just as they should be. We love the cucumber salad , pork wonton in chili oil and the fried pork chops. We pretty much order the same things every time. Our daughter also loves the pork chops. Ambiance on a scale of 1-10 for me would be around a 7. Nothing fancy but it's clean and well maintained. There aren't very many decorations but as long as the food is delicious that's really all that matters to me. The staff are friendly and they are quick and efficient. read more
This is a staple anytime we are in the area. As always the food is good and fresh. The staff and service is great, very polite and attentive. The hubby ordered his usual Mongolian Beef and broccoli. I usually order the jalapeño chicken but this time I opted to create my own noodle bowl by ordering the vegetable stir fry, add jalapeño, chicken and shrimp and it was delicious. I shared with my youngest and there was plenty of food. We actually had leftovers. Oh, the hubby ordered the strawberry tea, which is also amazing. If in the area, give them a try. The noodles are made fresh in front of you so you can opt to sit at the dining area to watch The chef do his thing! read more
First time at this location and it was great. Very nice and friendly staff and slightly larger than the VB location. Ordered the brisket soup but with the spicy noodle soup broth. Best part about the cold season is soup game. More visits to come! read more

Super quick late order. Cooked to order .fresh in house made noodles. Cooked right in front of you. Bok choy is always fresh and crisp. Broth with some dishes have a depth of flavor, leaving not a drop in your bowl. In restaurant dining adds appeal to your meal with authentic Asian decor. Tea, beers and soft drinks are always available. Tonight my order was taken be a very courteous young lady. Taking time to repeat my order, giving me the total and when it would be ready. Always a flavorful spicy meal when I visit or take out. read more
Great food! We walked into a packed restaurant but only waited about five minutes to get a table. All the servers were very attentive and took care of every table. They worked great as a team. Music playing in the background made it even more nice and relaxing. read more

My husband and I both really enjoyed our meals and our appetizers especially the salt and spicy squid. The atmosphere is very cute and a casual feel. Our waitress was awesome, very attentive and friendly. The portions were plentiful - I had enough to take home for a second meal! The hand pulled noodles are delicious! Check them out! read more

If you love noodle soup, you must try Noodle Man! I love to eat pho and ramen, but this is neither. I prefer the "regular" soup (B1), which has tender thin sliced beef shank and daikon radish in an absolutely amazing broth with a ton of their fresh in house made noodles. Yes, there is someone always pulling and twisting new noodles in full view of the restaurant. The soup just feeling nourishing to the body, and you can tell they love what they cook. Many times when I have dined in, I've received my soup faster than many fast food places! Their appetizers are refreshing too. I like to get the spicy marinated cucumbers, which have a mild heat to them that is balanced well by the savory sauce they are marinated in. The black mushrooms have a delicious flavor that any mushroom lover will enjoy. The prices are very reasonable and won't break the bank. This place is a hidden gem of Chesapeake. read more
Had dinner. Waiter was attentive. Food was delicious. A13 Pork wonton with chili oil was good, not too spicy. I would like to add a sweet sauce, for an additional flavor profile. A8 Crab cheese wonton, be careful, it's hot off the fryer. A3 salt and spicy shrimp was perfect B1 Lan Zhou Beef Noodle soup, good portion. Flavor was good I will come back again and explore rest of the menu. read more

This dish is soooo comforting and flavorful. I always have leftovers and it tastes even better later on. The noodles are fresh and broth is superb. It's has a nice vibe and atmosphere.I ordered a sweet tea with a lemon slice, and the service was as always quick and efficient. Give them a try you won't be disappointed. read more
My friend and coworker Yoonie took me to this fantastic noodle place! When we first walked in we were greeted by a friendly hostess. The service here was really great. Our waitress was attentive and kind too. Yoonie, being the Noodle Man expert, ordered for us. We decided to eat family style (my favorite). Here's what we got: Salt & Spicy Squid: Such a great flavor! Crunchy and salty in an extremely addictive way. These were like fries in the sense that once you have one you can't stop eating them! Only complaint is a lot of the pieces were more breading that squid, but they still had an amazing flavor. Pork Wonton w/ Chili Oil: These were little flavor bombs! So tasty! This was my favorite of the three things we tried. They weren't too spicy and had the right amount of flavor. The scallions and peanuts on top added a very nice crunch. Tomato/Beef Brisket Noodle Soup: One word: DELICIOUS! They make their noodles fresh here which is such a beautiful touch. I loved how tender the beef was, it melted like butter in my mouth. I was concerned it would be too tomatoey, but the tomatoes just complimented the dish. Savory, but almost sweet, this was very close to being my favorite of the three. I'm so grateful Yoonie took us here. This was my first food stop on my Coastal VA adventure and what an amazing stop it was! read more

Recommended to me several months ago, and this was the first opportunity I e had to sit and enjoy the meal. The BEST crab Rangoon I've ever had, clearly hand-made and full of the fluffy goodness. Salt and Pepper shrimp were perfectly flavored and cooked,subAll dishes were so fresh and flavorful - hand pulling makes all the difference! Plenty of variety in the menu, and all patrons seemed to be completely enjoying their dishes. read more

Tried something new for the new year and might've found a new guilty pleasure. The layout is much bigger when you walk in and the hostess/ waitress was ready as soon as we walked in. The customer service alone is great enough to keep coming back. The food is so fresh, crunchy, and insanely delicious! We ordered hot & spicy squid, spicy cucumber and for our entree's we had B1 and B2. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the food, the staff and the ambiance! read more

Food was good, but our server could have been a tad bit more pleasant. Always get the honey shrimp as my go to appetizer. The beef pancake was ok, and it takes at least 15 minutes to prepare. Got the spicy chili sauce in a container to go for $5 because it's that good. My experience could've been a lot better if our young waitress was more pleasant. She was not attentive to our needs, I had to practically yell for her attention as she walked away so we could get utensils. And she would drop our food off like it was a drive by. Needless to say, the food was still good. read more

I came in with my family of 5 on a Saturday about 430 PM. We were seated right away. The restaurant is clean and well themed. You can watch them prepare the food which is a cool experience. Everything was very flavorful and fresh. Staff was very friendly and helpful. read more
I've been to their other location once, so I reread my other review and decided to retry said items here. I can easily say I wasn't as impressed this time. We came for a lunch date, since grandma was available to watch our newest little lady. Parking is in a shared lot, but we had no issue finding a spot. We walk in and are greeted promptly. We're taken to a booth which was pretty nice. It was so slow that every new party that came in was given a booth as well. I think the booths may be a little tight for some people, I know if I came in during my last trimester of pregnancy there is no way I would have fit comfortably. Soda machine was down, and the only tea I wanted to try, lychee was out. I got a water for my drink and the pork chili wonton for my appetizer. The appetizer wasn't terrible, but it didn't 'wow' me. I felt that it was underwhelming and not incredibly flavorful in any part. I think I over-hyped myself up after reading my previous review at their other location. I got the hot and spicy noodle soup, but if I'm being honest, I didn't really enjoy it either. The noodles were very thick at the ends. Instead of separating the strands completely, there were little sloppy thumb sized lumps of noodle that connected several pieces. I'm a visual and texture person, so having several blobs was really rough on me. The broth was just there. My husband was raving about his, but mine didn't really taste of anything but oil. The ground pork was really nice, but was hard to grab as it fell to the abyss of the bowl with the fork, and I didn't really want to slurp oil with the soup spoon. They do offer a military discount, so that was pretty nice. I can't say we'll be back, but you never know. read more
I've been to Noodle Man, countless times.. both at the Chesapeake and Virginia Beach locations. I prefer the Chesapeake location, as it's bigger and have more elbow room. I've tried a few dishes, but my favorite are the Salty and Spicy Squid, and the Tomato Brisket Soup. Aahhh.. where do I begin? If you love squid, or calamari, you have to try their Salty and Spicy Squid. The squid is cooked to perfection. It is crunchy, a bit spicy but not too much, and delicious! One of the best I've tried. The broth in their Tomato Brisket Soup has depth of flavors, and the noodles have a little bite to it.. which I love. I've also tried the jalapeño chicken noodles (good!), the salty and spicy chicken wings (also good but the squid is better!), chicken and shrimp spring roll (OMG! Delicious!) and the chicken fried rice.. which to me, is amazing, but if you are used to the nasty Panda Express fried rice, you might find this different.. or too authentic. Hehe. My least favorite dish is the Mongolian Beef noodles. Too greasy for my liking. read more
This #ThankYouThursday2021 is dedicated to Noodle Man (NM). There is only one man in my life, but there is a special place in my heart for NM! Noods are my fave (ok, maybe sweets too) and NM knows how to make them right, fresh and hand pulled, hot or cold, fried or in a soup, mild or spicy...so many different ways! I've only been twice but they definitely keep me hooked every time to go back and try a new dish! - Parking - Center lot. - Vibe - It's clean and beautiful black and white murals showcasing how they made noodles in the old days with chinese calligraphy, give you something interesting to look at while you're waiting. The kitchen is also open, but enclosed with plexiglass, so you can see the activity in the kitchen. They have counte/bar seating so you have front row seats to all the action. - Service - They've always been so nice and accommodating. - Noms - Salt & Spicy Chicken Wings - Nice and crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with slices of jalapeño (eat one with each bite for a nice kick) Salt & Spicy Squid - same as above. Lot more tentacles than body pieces, but these are so good. I've even eaten them as leftovers COLD and they are still good, but that's just me. Pork Wonton in Chili Oil - I could have eaten probably 3 orders of these. Seafood Noodle Soup - This soup is very plain, but it draws on each individual flavor of the seafood ingredients. Super clean and soothing. Mongolian Beef Stir-Fried Noodle - Big slices of beef with peppers and onions. Nice and hearty. Kung Pao Chicken Stir-Fried Noodle - I felt like this was similar to the Mongolian Beef dish, but great. Tomato & Brisket Noodle Soup - I've read so many reviews on this dish and didn't order it the first time because of the orders we made to accomodate our kids, but oh my! I just loved the flavor of the broth. The brisket was soft and packed with so much flavor, like they've been cooking it for hours and love the chunks of tomatoes and the baby bok choy. So warming on chilly days that we've been having lately. This is NM's 2nd location, I have yet to visit their original location in VB, but so thankful NM is nearby! I'm also thankful that they offer a military discount (with presentation of valid ID). Never expected, but always appreciated! Thank you, NM! I'll see you again soon! read more

The difficulty with achieving consistency when a second restaurant opens is always a challenge. I was not an early diner to Noodle Man in Chesapeake providing more than adequate time for me to fully evaluate their consistency with the first Noodle opened in Virginia Beach. The location is off the beaten path somewhat in a small strip by Sam's Club. Parking seems adequate and the lot was clean. I walked in and was quickly seated at a booth by a young female waitress. A menu was provided, however I knew that it was my favorite tomato brisket I desired. The dining room bares similarities to Virginia Beach, however it's larger. The bar area features seating up close to watch the noodle man perform the stretching and pulling of hand pulled noodles. Within 10 minutes my bowl was delivered. I had a water to drink that was refilled. The soup had a familiar aroma and that was heaven to me. Steam rose off the bowl and I first went to the broth to compare. It was spot on! An exact replica of VB wonderful pho. The noodles were hot and delicious too! The brisket overall compared, however there was one piece that was overly fatty and was scrapped. My waitress did follow up. The comparison has been done and to my amazement it's a tie for the tomato brisket. My assumption is if they perfected this dish others will be the same incredible level of quality. I'm overdue for an update to 5 stars for the VB location, I'm not going to get this wrong. 4.5 rounding up. read more

Are vegetable soups and stir fry made with anything non veg, like chicken broth or fish sauce?
I had called them up (I'm vegan), asking if their noodles had egg or if the sauce had fish sauce. They confirmed it doesn't! Then I mentioned I was asking since I'm vegan and they only mentioned about cross contamination. I order the stir fry…
