    Salted and Spicy Squid

    This cost me $36.45 pre-tax, then $40.82 pre-tip to $45.82 cash post-tip (with Receipt) This Restaurant is great 1 of the 2 Noodle Man in Virginia, although the one in Sam's Circle is far superior since this place lacks the Shaanxi Knife-Cut Chicken Soup Noodles There is nothing to say except for the fact that Noodle Man easily has the most delicious Chinese Noodles in Virginia, so all of the food are very delicious

    Fried Crab Wonton
    Leah J.

    While in the area, I stopped by Noodle Man since I'd been wanting to try it for a while. The place was smaller than I expected, with just a few booths and tables. Only one booth was available when we arrived around 7pm on a Wednesday, and it was in the middle of being cleaned, but luckily we were planning to get our order to-go anyway. The menu had a nice variety, including appetizers, noodle soups, cold and stir-fried noodles, and fried rice. I ordered the Fried Salt & Spicy Wings, Fried Crab Wontons, Kung Pao Chicken with Stir-Fried Noodles and Jalapeño Chicken with Stir-Fried Noodles. The food took about 20 minutes to be prepared so we waited around until it was finished. The wontons were pretty good, though I wish they had a little more flavor. The wings were crunchy, savory, and fried perfectly but weren't spicy at all like the name entailed. Both my daughter and I really enjoyed our stir-fried noodle dishes, they were absolutely delicious! Although the Jalapeño Chicken didn't have any noticeable jalapeños and wasn't spicy either, the flavor overall was still just as great. Overall, the staff were really nice and I love that they make their noodles right in the restaurant. I'd definitely return to try other stir-fried noodles dishes. If you're in the area, stop in. You will not be disappointed!

    Beef and vegetable pancakes

    My friends and I dropped by Noodle Man for a quick take out order after a yelp event. When we walked in it was packed. There isn't really a dedicated space to order. The waiter who took our order was nice. We ordered and then waited outside. When I got my order 20 minutes later it was incorrect. I asked for beef scallion pancakes and the waiter thought I meant vegetable pancakes because basically they're just called beef pancakes. It was a misunderstanding on both our parts, so he corrected the issue with no problems. When I went back it was so much going on, they were about to close and still very busy. The girl and guy waiters both looked so tired. I felt bad for them but they handled the situation the best they could. They were even apologetic. I appreciate both of their good customer service skills in resolving the issue. I think their names were Cheyenne and Jr. Hats off to them for keeping things moving smoothly, because I watched them take phone orders, bring food to tables, and clean up. There's a window where you can watch the homemade noodles made. It was cool to watch, but that poor guy was putting in work. They have a menu with a good amount of options. The homemade noodles are tasty. I enjoyed my beef pancakes. Check them out!!

    We had a great experience at Noodle Man and would highly recommend! The hot and spicy noodle soup delivered authentic heat and well-balanced flavor, and the salt and spicy fried squid was equally enjoyable. Prices are reasonable, service is friendly and attentive, and the lively atmosphere adds to the overall experience. Both booth and bar seating are available.

    Always a 5 star review for Noodle Man. Not only are the noodles made/pulled in house but the broth tastes that it has simmered for hours, most probably has been. I always get the brisket and tomato soup. First time to try the beef pancake (as I always order the spicy (served cold) beef, super good too!) Service is friendly. Ambiance gives you the feel of true Asian- no fuss but simply delicious!

    Great food in cozy quarters in full view of an employee hand pulling noodles. Dinner and a show. They cruise without booze but the fresh made to order tasty food starts the party in your mouth! Mongolian beef noodles (c3) are excellent, my fave. Shared shopping center parking lot, 2 unisex bathrooms (seemingly always occupied); may have to wait or sit at a shared table if they're busy.

    Belle A.

    The staff greeted us and sat us down quickly. They were friendly and accommodating! We put our order in for cold spicy cucumber salad appetizer, the Mongolian chicken stir-fried noodle, and the Hong Kong style wonton soup. It was all very delicious!! Highly recommend for dinner in a relaxed atmosphere.

    I figured it was time for an updated review of Noodle Man. I'd like to say that Noodle Man has been open at this location since late 2018. They were an immediate hit and have grown in popularity so much that they opened a second location in Chesapeake in February/March 2020. I hit up this VB Noodle Man location on occasion and am glad to report they are just as good now as they were when they first opened. The VB Noodle Man is small. There are about 9-10 tables and roughly 8 seats at the bar. They will fill up quickly during the lunch and dinner rushes. Regardless, their space is clean, organized and is the perfect size to view the kitchen staff as they prepare the food and make their famous noodles. The great thing about Noodle Man is they make their noodles in house. The technique they use is of the more traditional style of making noodles, which I've only seen in person here. If nothing else, any noodle dish you order will be fresh and delicious. It's obvious that their customers love that aspect, and they reward them by returning again and again. I've visited often enough to try nearly everything on their menu. And I haven't had a bad dish among them. Although they're good any time, I usually opt for the Chicken Mushroom Noodle Soup (B1.) during the winter months. I sometimes opt in for an appetizer, too - their Pork Shrimp with Leek Dumpling (A11.) is fantastic. Other highlights include: A3. Fried Salt & Spicy Shrimp A4. Fried Salt & Spicy Wings A5. Fried Salt & Spicy Pork Chop (this is a recurring theme) B2. Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup B6. Hong Kong Style Noodle Soup The broth for their soup is delicious and complements the noodles perfectly. In addition, their soups are plentiful - you will get filled up if you finish an entire bowl. Finally, Noodle Man's staff is fantastic. Many of the wait staff are veterans - they know the menu inside and out, know much of the clientele (NM has many regulars at this point), and know exactly how to handle any given situation and customer. I'd like to think I'm a regular because a couple of the servers have recognized me, but I recently met a man who stops in every Saturday, and apparently comes in as often as possible. That's a testament to how good Noodle Man's food and service are - those regulars are loyal and will sing its praises to anyone who will listen. I'm glad Noodle Man has remained a fantastic place. I can always count on their food to be fresh and delicious, while their service is just as impressive. Thank you, Noodle Man! JV

    N oodle man will bring you back to the alleys of mainland China where every noodle is hand pulled, the broth is light yet deep, and the flavors keep wanting you to go back. Noodle Man is a delight that it's in the middle of a shopping mall and packed with these great flavors. It's a wonder that they don't have 2nd or 3rd locations nearby. As for food choice, I would definitely recommend having a noodles with broth. You simply can't go wrong and it is unparalleled to anything that you would find in the near vicinity!

    The interior is is clean and decor is nice. Had a big window to the kitchen to see them hand pulling the noodles. The servers were attentive and kind. The salt and spicy fried squid and shrimp were amazing very garlicky and flavorful and tasted fresh. The chili wontons were not great. The wonton is more like shumai and the filling was very mushy. The sauce was wasn't spicy more vinegary. The seafood noodles were a shared portion where they offered to split! The noodles had a good chew, did lack flavor but the broth was yummy. The seafood in the noodles were chewy and didnt taste the freshest.

    Britt D.

    Our go-to spot! We love everything from the hot & spicy soup, to the mongolian beef! The spicy pork dumplings are always a 5/5! Always cool to see the workers making the noodles! Just such a cute and cozy spot to dine. My personal favorite is the hot & spicy soup, but the brisket tomato soup was wonderful too. You definitely must stop by while you're in VB.

    The restaurant stayed busy, this is definitely due to a nice atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was so tasty and came out quick.

    Lauren B.

    My husband and I's first time trying Noodle Man was on a Saturday night via delivery through DoorDash. The order came quickly and was accurate and hot! We ordered the Pork Wonton appetizer with Chili Oil and they were surprisingly not spicy at all. The prominent flavor was actually ginger believe it or not. I found them to be light and delicious, although not what I was initially expecting. For dinner, I tried the Chicken Fried Rice and the Mongolian Beef Stir Fry Noodle dishes. Both were delicious, but the Mongolian Beef Stir Fry Noodle was my number one favorite. The beef was perfectly cooked and not full of fat as you often find at most Chinese restaurants. The spice level was perfect and the szechuan peppers added the perfect amount of heat. I love how this dish was full of veggies between the two different peppers. Noodles and rice were both cooked perfectly. My husband had the Hot & Spicy Noodle and he enjoyed it thoroughly. He wasn't very hungry going into dinner, but managed to enjoyed the entire soup. We both really enjoyed the food we had from Noodle Man and I am pleased that we have found our go-to Chinese restaurant in the Virginia Beach area. We will definitely be repeat customers!

    Ask the Community - Noodle Man

    Do they do delivery in this location such as doordash or Grubhub?

    Sorry, we only have takeout now. First, for our noodle fans’ safety considerations; second we want to ensure the quality of our noodle dishes.

    Are you open for takeout?

    Yes

    Are gluten free noodles and option, or are all the noodle gluten free?

    The noodles definitely are not gluten free. I don't believe they offer an alternative, I would call and ask.

    Are fresh noodles available for purchase (uncooked)?

    I know they're freshly made, I am unsure if they sell them that way.

    Can I order ramon and then say no noodles?

    Yes. You'd only have broth though.

    Going here at 7pm with my military friends Mark and Asa? Is this a good time to go?

    There will likely be a wait at this time, especially if it is on the weekend. Noodle Man on Independence is quickly becoming very popular.

    Do they put MSG in their foods ? Food allergies

    My husband usually gets a headache from msg but hasn't had an issue after eating there.

    Are there vegetarian options?

    Yes, but you have talk to the waitress to special order it.

    Does the menu have any smaller-sized offerings which include the noodles (or a kids' menu which includes any noodle dishes)?

    Yes, we do have kid noodle (fresh hand pulled noodles with broth). You have to ask the waitress for it. Our menu will have the update one soon. Thank you for your interest :)

Well, we got there and while they had plenty of tables at 6:30PM, but 7PM that place was completely packed! They had lots of carry-out orders happening too, which all made the kitchen a little slow. We ordered many dishes to share and all started coming out one after another over the next hour until the beef & broccoli was the last dish. Again, I attribute the slowness of the kitchen to their being so busy. At least all the food that came out was very fresh, tasty, and piping hot. Some interesting items that were quite good were their potatoes and green peppers. This dish is something I've never seen before but was pretty good! It features long julienned potatoes that they clearly soak in water before wok'ing with the peppers - that was all that was in the dish, but it was still tasty. Their Fish in Chili Oil & Bean Sprouts was really tasty and fresh! The fish is flounder. Their spicy wontons in chili oil were very popular with our group too. Service here was friendly too and helpful. Like I said, we tried many items, so many more than I just outlined and all were nice. I'd definitely return for a slightly more elevated Chinese menu from what you get at the typical Chinese-American joints.

Perhaps I will order something else they are more known for the next time I believe they specialize in Szechuan cuisine.

My family and I (5 people) came in to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday dinner and there was nobody but us in the restaurant. The first thing I noticed was the server. He was dressed in jeans, hooded sweatshirt, a beanie and had a toothpick in his mouth. A bit out of the ordinary but to each their own for proper attire in what I would deem a upscale-ish restaurant. The real issue was him taking our order, seemed rushed. As we were deliberating and figuring out what we wanted. My girlfriend was talking about the scallion bubble pancakes. He came over and said, "I overheard you said the scallion pancakes, did you want to put in that order?" My girlfriend said no, she wanted everything to come out all at once. He said ok and then we walked off. Next thing we know, the pancakes came out WAY ahead of everything else we ordered. By like 15 minutes at least. When my girlfriend said something about it, the waiter said, he said outright " I never heard her say not to order them, she never said anything, and they are out right now". No apology, no I'll go ahead and fix that...nothing. When we we on the way out, we talked to the owner about the experience and the only thing he mentioned was that, the server was new and it's hard to find good employees because they revolve so quickly. Which wasn't really an answer at all. It was definitely a 180 degree turn from the first experience we had here which was 5 stars all around. I think given the experience, we unfortunately won't be coming back
