i was craving szechuan food while in europe and saw noodle master had high reviews so we decided to give it a try! they have a great deal for 20% off takeout orders which makes the dishes reasonable prices for the portion and in helsinki.
// dan dan noodle (~12 euros) //
the specialty on their menu were beef noodle soup and dan dan noodle. you can choose the protein (pork, beef, chicken, tofu, etc.) and the spice level (1-3 chili).
we got spice level 1 with extra chili oil on the side. takeout came in 2 containers: noodles with meat and the sauce/broth to be poured over. level 1 was spicier than i thought it would be but i was satisfied with it - if you are not used to spice, specially the numbing spice of szechuan, i recommend level 1 or getting the chili oil on the side so you can adjust to your preference.
the noodles were a good portion size for the price. the pork was tasty and it also had peanuts in it. the noodles were chewy and everything together was flavorful.
the service was also very efficient. the noodles were ready 5 minutes after we ordered. also the two employees at the counter were very friendly! for helsinki, the szechuan food satisfied my expectations and cravings! read more
