Always good and enough for about three meals! I usually can have two more besides what I ate at the restaurant.

Ordered for takeout as I was headed to a hotel. The ratings drew me to the place. I ordered veggie bao ( large buns), and a bowl to tonkatsu shrimp ramen. The ramen was overly generous with noodles so I could not finish it. The bao was a 3 out of 5. The restaurant has a large Window to show the chefs making fresh dumplings by hand. As authentic as it gets read more

This place rules! The classic Chinese food offerings are great and the Thai curries are equally great. Friendly staff, and they are very attentive. read more

We were very please with everything from waitstaff to the chefs. Everything is fresh and very presentable. The chicken eggrolls were very good as well as the Chicken and Shrimp Noodles. The flavor can't be beat. Waitstaff ( maybe the manager) was super attentive. It is nice to have a bright environment for visual access and the decor was spot on especially the unique lighting and the case of art. Give it a try. They cook to order which is a bonus. read more

I received my food almost 10 minutes before my girlfriend did. By the time she got her food mine was already cold. I complained to the waitress. She said that the food gets served when it is done. I replied that if people go out together they want to eat at the same time. Anyway she warmed it up somehow!? Portions are way too big and the food is not that spectacular. Make smaller portions but better quality! This was our first visit and the last one too! read more

We were looking for some Asian food while visiting Tyler and Noodles & Dumplings was the top yelp recommendation. We were a party of 8 adults and ordered all of our food family style. Food: We ordered a mix of everything on the menu. For appetizers we got the edamame and fried cream cheese wontons. The edamame came in a large portion and the fried cream cheese wontons had 6 pieces per order. The edamame came dressed in a garlic/soy sauce which is a little different than the traditional salted edamame. It was different but good. The cream cheese wontons were fairly standard. We ordered the non spicy and spicy wonton sops to share and these were not individual soups. They were large bowls with 5 wontons per soup serving. Flavor was ok but it gets the job done if you're craving wonton soup. We ordered the orange chicken, Mongolian beef, and combo fried rice as main dishes. The orange chicken was ok and came with a side of white rice on the plate. The Mongolian beef was an American version of Mongolian beef with beef mixed with red and green bell peppers and red onion. It was actually a good dish but I wouldn't call it Mongolian beef. The combo fried rice was decent but nothing special. We also ordered the vegetable and chicken steamed dumplings along with chicken and pork pan fried dumplings. The steamed dumplings were a little salty but the pan fried dumplings were very tasty and fried very well. Each serving of dumplings came with 8 pieces. We also ordered 2 orders of the pork Xiao Long Baos which came with 6 pieces per order. The Xiao Long Baos were juicy but the wrapper was a little thick for Xiao Long Baos. We also ordered the red bean baos and a chocolate donut dish (can't remember the name) for dessert. The red bean baos were a nice finish to the meal and were steamed with some animal faces on them so made it fun to eat. The chocolate fried donuts were also very good for anyone with a sweet tooth. Service: The service was good and our drinks were filled the whole meal. We waited 15 mins for a table for 8 on a Saturday night at 7 PM which was reasonable for a weekend night. They brought the food out as it was made so keep that in mind when you order for the table. The dumplings take a little longer to make than the main dishes like the orange chicken and Mongolian beef. Ambiance: Noodles & Dumplings has a nice glass area where you can see the chefs making and steaming/frying the dumplings. The restaurant is well lit and the tables had ample space for our party of 8. Overall I would recommend this place for Asian food in Tyler! The portions here are very generous and the food is decent for those specifically craving dumplings. I would skip the main meat/vegetable entrees like orange chicken and Mongolian beef. Come here for the dumplings and baos. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great little spot in Tyler for some homemade noodles and dumplings! Yum! Service is quick and the restaurant ambience is nice and clean. I enjoyed the dumpling combo, singapore noodles with chicken, and a side of the homemade noodles in a soy based sauce. Everything tasted good and it definitely hit the spot. read more

Food: Very disappointing Service: Good Ambiance: The Resturant is cute and very well lit Let me start by saying that I absolutely love authentic Asian food. I wanted to try the black garlic ramen but they were out! So I decided to try the Mongolian beef. My dish came out rather fast like within five minutes of my order, which was very strange. They did not wait to bring out my food with my husband's. Also, I've never seen Mongolian beef cooked with green and red bell peppers. Also red onions. I've always had Mongolian beef with scallions also known as green onions and regular white or yellow onions, which is my fave. I did not like my dish at all. I didn't like it. It was not tasteful. There was no spice basically it was the worst Mongolian beef that I've ever had in my life. The dumplings were decent, but not the best. There's no way this restaurant would make it in a major city. There's nothing authentic about it. read more

Excellent service, atmosphere was fantastic. Had the braised beef noodle bowl, the handmade noodles were spectacular as well as the portion of beef. Also I very highly recommend the cream cheese wontons. Would definitely come back! read more

Noodles & Dumplings - Cream Cheese Wonton(6) Braised Beef Noodle Soup - Chinese Near Me - Tyler, Texas

This was our first meal in Tyler. Absolutely delicious food we ordered xiaolongbao and various other dishes to share amongst our party of 4. We really enjoyed the quick service clean restaurant and good food, for a good price. Great portions too! We came by a few days later to order takeout just one beef fried rice. Realized we came early and the restaurant was not yet open. The man at the front desk was really rude when we were ordering speaking so quietly and getting mad when we said sorry can you repeat that. Then the fried rice itself took 15 min to come out. This kind of bothered us hence the 4 star rating. Please do not hire such rude people to be the face of your restaurant. read more

The food was great! The service is very good. Highly recommend! And Ciara, 1-2 step was playing overhead... And the chef yelled "ooh wee" right on cue with the lyrics We will be back read more

Went a couple weeks ago for the second time. Their noodles are spectacular, hand made and great texture. We also got some of the soup dumplings and they rocked. The general tso chicken was a beautiful portion, we had leftovers. And the beef soup (like pho) was great with a huge noodle portion, maybe not as much beef as we expected. Very much like coming here read more

Ordered general tso's chicken with steamed rice as a pick up order. Got back to my hotel... No rice!!! Check your order before you leave the restaurant!!! read more

Nothing amazed me, fairly standard fare. Not sure I can blame the Bao though, it's never hit for me when to tried it. To be fair my wife and kids enjoyed it, but they always go for the basic chicken fried rice and kung pao. To me they both needed more seasoning and something to make them stand out. Fried dumplings were good. Scallion pancakes were the most disappointing, couldn't taste the scallion at all! The staff, however were wonderful and attentive. read more

Went here with my sister after several friends recommended the place. What can I say that won't sound horribly negative? Not much. Our waiter was horrendous. He sat us, barely uttering a guttural word, brought our drink order and left again for another 10 minutes. I was literally getting out of my seat to get another server when he showed up around the corner. Using the same energy, he took our food order. No recommendations, and no conversation. He brought our food and never returned. Never came back to ask us how everything was, to refill drinks, NOTHING. It was literally like he left the building. Another waiter felt sorry for us and brought us several items, to go boxes and our bill. We tipped HIM and thanked him for actually seeing us. The food: Ka-po noodles were fabulous. The pork dumplings were so bad, it was ridiculous. "Scallion and pork pan fried dumplings". No scallions, no spices and the sausage was a greasy ball of breakfast sausage. We could not eat them. Really disappointing. Unfortunate experience, and we will not return. read more

Visited Tyler for a doctor's appointment and tried this gem. For the price the portion sizes were huge! And the food was so delicious.

Sister and I stopped in for lunch on a weekday. It was not busy. We sat at a booth and waited for a server. Unfortunately we were in Dimitris' section. I believe that was his name. If you have an issue talking to people why would you be a server? Absolutely zero interaction on his part, he took our order without a word, dropped the food without a word and we never saw him again. We got a different server to bring us to go boxes and check. Now for the food, sadly it doesn't get much better. We ordered a noodle entree, pork scallion dumplings and chicken egg rolls. The noodles were good. The dumplings had zero scallions, and the worst part, they weren't made with ground pork, they were pork sausage! I was shocked when I took a bite and I tasted sage! Dumpling dough was undercooked and greasy from the pork sausage. Zero ginger, scallion or any other Asian dumpling flavor. Chicken egg rolls were good and hot but the filling had a weird flavor. This place would never last in a big city. read more

These dumplings legitimately popped with flavor in my mouth!! It was amazing! There is a relaxed vibe about the place that makes you want to hang out and just relax. And the service is great! Friendly staff everywhere! read more

Very good Lanzhuo noodles and bbq bao! Will definitely go back. Staff was very attentive too.

Went back this evening, and we had an amazing experience again. Such great service with Kularb and the food was amazing! I do prefer music to go with the theme of the restaurant but it didn't take away from the yummy food. Some of the best fried rice we've ever had. The wonton soup broth is so crave worthy and something we would want especially when not feeling well. It's so comforting and delicious! The combo dumplings are our go to and the vegetable bao buns are so so good. The noodle bowls are so huge and it does not need any more flavor added, they are perfect! read more

Noodles & Dumplings - DELICIOUS! LOVED their xiao long baos and dumplings!Highly recommend coming here!! - Chinese Near Me - Tyler, Texas

Food was good but the service was lousy - if you have a party of 6 or more do yourself a favor a break it into separate groups. They tack on an automatic 20% gratuity with 6 or more. We never saw our waiter after the food arrived (he knew he had the 20% so he did not give an effort on service). Even had to track him down to pay the bill. Not sure if we will be back read more

Freshly made and large portions! My Japanese Fried rice was loaded with eggs and chicken, and was enough for 3 people. We also got Gen. Tao's chicken, fresh, crispy and perfect with gingery freshly-made noodles. read more

No chop suey here! This is the real deal. Noodles are very obviously made by hand and watching the stoic chef stretch his wares is at least 1/2 the fun of visiting. Decor is industrial meets old school and I'd only vote for white tablecloths to take it over the top. Spicy is off the charts flavorful and the steamed dumplings are little pockets of heaven. Experienced and efficient hostess and waitstaff- Noodles & Dumplings knows how to run a restaurant. read more

Food was great and very filling. Price was also really good for what you got. Great service and will definitely go back.

It was better than most Chinese restaurants in Texas. Side dishes were meh but the soup dumplings and noodles were great

First time to visit and it won't be the last!! Delicious! We shared cucumber salad, pork cutlets and rice, dumpling sampler and ended with delicious custard bao! read more

I was dissatisfied with the food. Ordered the fried noodle dish with vegetables and added shrimp. It was very salty and too much sauce. Overcooked sparse and very small pieces of vegetables. I told the server I was wanting something with lots of vegetables. She really wasn't knowledgeable what it came with. Read it off the menu like I did. Overpriced $20 lunch. I can make my own, but better. And at that price very gourmet. I find this establishment overpriced for my taste buds. No ambiance really just a few people behind a glass bubble in their own world. No interaction with customers in restaurant. Too bad. Could be fun if they waved once in a while. Buns are creative tho. read more

This place overall amazing the only issue i had was the wait it takes 15-20 mins and I didn't like the chefs cooking without gloves read more

Newly opened in the old Asian buffet building and the appearance has been kind-of updated. It still looks tired and run down when entering, though you do have a window-view of the prep area, which is interesting. We almost left since the staff was occupied helping make change for service staff and filling to-go orders, but we were finally acknowledged and seated. I did note that the same person handling money also handled our small plates, menus and paper-wrapped utensils without sanitizing. Maybe an opportunity for improvement. The food was okay. We had shrimp tempura and they seemed to have been cooked in oil that was a little old. They were served hot and perfectly crisp but not terribly flavorful. The fried noodles with chicken was very sweet but okay. The beef and green onion bao had a small meat ball in the middle of a beautiful steamed bun. The only sauces they offer are a weak "chili" oil and soy sauce. They do not have the green, less sodium, soy. Our waiter said they are working on that. He was very pleasant and helpful. Maybe we will try this another time. However we will make completely different food choices. read more

As someone that now lives in a small town in NETX, I'm always on the lookout for food that reminds me of my mom's cooking. Although I wouldn't say this place is fully traditional, it's authentic and delicious. The flavor profile of the Xiao Long Bao is very bold. It's savory and unlike what I grew up with though is extremely tasty. The dough from the steamed bao is so fresh and fluffy-- I don't even typically like steamed bao (I'm more of a baked bao kinda guy) but hot damn I could eat those up! I will definitely be coming back again the next time I'm in Tyler. read more
