I've been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The ramen is incredible, and the prices are even better. Our go to dishes are the beef in chili sauce, seafood noodles, and beef flank.. everything is consistently delicious. If you like a little heat, definitely try the chili sauce they have on the tables it takes everything to the next level. It does get pretty busy around dinner time, so I recommend getting there early to avoid the rush. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and happy to answer any questions. The food feels authentic, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Splendid Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

Whenever you're in the mood for noodle soup you may first think of chicken noodle, ramen, phô... but what about chinese hand pulled noodle soup? That's quite a mouthful, like their noodles! I believe the same broth is applied to all bowls so the only options you have to choose are either: hand pulled/hand cut noodles and your choice of meat, I prefer hand pulled. Now, I've had the house noodle bowl in the past in an effort to sample their meats. My conclusion is that the ribs are their best option. They are deceptively flavorful and fall off the bone easily. Their noodles have a great chew and mouthfeel while the broth is delicately beefy/porky. I love to jazz it up with the table vinegar and chili oil. As for serving size, these bowls are giant so you will leave full. If you still have some room though check out their oden selection. I like the fish cake/ball and chinese sausage varieties, they come with a lovely sweet and salty chili sauce that packs a punch. These noodles are truly splendid and even more so in the colder months. read more

I always order the spare rib hand pulled noodle and it's very satisfying. The spare ribs are very tender and I sprinkle the hot chili sesame oil directly on it. If I'm feeling extra hungry I'll add a braised egg to my soup. Our other favorite is the beef flank. Service is extremely quick and friendly. read more

This is my kinda restaurant. Simple, unpretentious, not over priced and excellent food. The noodle house ambiance is correct and the service is fine. It's a small space so you if they get slammed I'd imagine you'd have to wait a bit but it's totally worth it. Not a massive amount of choices but they're great at what they do. I'd actually give them 4.5 stars as the pork bun we ordered and gratis Bok choy appetizer were both bland. However, the cucumber salad we ordered made up for the watery Bok choy . None of that detracts from the outstanding noodles. No description should taint your impression so go and enjoy. P.s. I took the pork bun home and steamed it and added hoisin sauce. Simple fix. Yummy. read more

My dad is Chinese and loves coming here when I take him out. We love the homemade noodles that you can see the chef make through the window. The soups are amazing and hits the spot. I need to go there more often to try their other selections of soups and appetizers. This place is authentic as it gets and there are many places to eat at Stony Brook but this our go to spot for fresh bowl of noodles especially during the winter. The service is great and the place is nice and clean. read more

I've been coming here with my family since they opened, and can say with confidence that their fresh hand pulled noodles are fully on par with those you can get in Chinatown. It's the perfect place to come on a cold winter night- very nice and inviting yet clean and modern. The staff are quick to take your order, and the hot noodle soups are ready almost instantly. We usually get a cold jellyfish salad or cucumber appetizer and hand pulled noodle soups all around. Most recently I got the beef hand pulled noodle soup with a braised egg, and it was delicious. The broth was so rich and flavorful, and the beef flank practically melts in your mouth. At splendid noodle you can order extra meat, veggies, noodles, or an egg to have with your soup. I highly recommend the braised egg, as it seemed to be braised in the same deliciously spiced beef stock that I had in my soup. The baby bok choy, scallions and cilantro are all so fresh and bright, never wilted. All of the flavors were perfect. The roast duck soup is excellent, and so is the beef with extra tendon. Also a side note... you know it's a legit Chinese restaurant when they've got the dark vinegar, homemade chili oil (which they sell for $10 a jar), and TOOTHPICKS at each table!! Jokes aside, we love splendid noodle and are always eager to return when in stony brook. read more

Very generous portion and delicious noodle soup. Best I ever had. Had Slurp soup in Port Jefferson recently and Splendid Noodle soup is far superior. The pulled noodles were perfectly chewy and delicious. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and flavorful. The black vinegar and hot oil a perfect complement to a very satisfying lunch. read more

Meat in their "veggie broth" I spoke with the employees at length before ordering. I asked if they did a veggie broth. They said yes. I asked if there was any meat in the veggie broth at all. They said "no meat." I asked if it even used meat stock. They said no. So I ordered it. And I ate it. And I get halfway through, only to find something very meat-like in my mouth... I was wary to begin with. I ordered from them before, and the veggie noodles tasted... off, to me, as a vegetarian. That's why I had a long talk with them in advance about the broth. I even put in the notes for the order, "Vegetarian. No meat at all. Veggie broth. No meat broth." This restaurant is disgusting. Don't eat here. read more

Food (5/5): Delicious noodles that I very much enjoyed. We ordered it to go and the food remained delicious even though we traveled from Long Island to Jersey before eating it. We ordered the spare rib and duck noodles. The broth was flavorful and the spare rib meat was fall of the bone. Top notch noodles. It was cool seeing the man make the noodles in front of you. Service (4/5): They took our order efficiently and no issues with getting the food out for to go. They packed sauces, utensils, and put the food in good containers. They nicely separated the noodles and ingredients from the soup. Ambiance (4/5): Nice spacious restaurant with plenty of seating when we saw it. We ordered for to-go but it seems like it would've been nice to sit in the restaurant. read more

They have great chop sticks and chili oil, but that is about it. This is a take out restaurant. My group should have turned around when at 6:30 Saturday night we walked into an empty dining room. The three workers scattered when we stepped in. Cafeteria tables, linoleum floor plastic cups. Hoping to find a diamond in the rough we sat. In the pause while we sat the female server asked if we were ready to order. This was a theme the whole time, the looming lady just staring over our shoulder.. the noodle slapping show started up for a few minutes. The noodles were the only redeeming quality of their ramen dishes. We ordered angus beef, regular beef and a lamb ramen. We got gray shaved grizzle, brown sliced grizzle and gray tender lamb along with a sprinkle of green in a canned broth. As mentioned the noodles were good. For 12$-15$ per you could easily fill your belly along with every gap between your teeth. We each learned why toothpicks were on the table. Notable decor included pictures of the noodle bowls looking their best along one wall and every piece of restaurant inventory stacked along the rest. There was a Pho restaurant nearby which will be our next try. But Splendid Noodle will get not one more dollar. read more

It's okay but nothing to write home about. I wanted ramen and considering I'm not familiar with the area someone recommended this place. I tried the noodle dish with ribeye. It was okay broth, noodles, bok choy, cilantro. I also ordered a pork bun which was a little salty and the pork was overcooked. It wasn't terrible but I wouldn't order it again. I think because I had in mind what I wanted my expectations were very high. read more

We ordered the splendid house noodles (which came with various cuts of meat, shrimp, and a delicious fried egg), the beef flank noodles, and the fish ball Oden. All of it came out super quick (less than 10 min) and it was delicious. You can see the chefs hand pulling the noodles in the kitchen while you wait! Generous portions of noodles and meat, as you can see in the photos. I would keep eating and discover even more beef pieces at the bottom. Well seasoned and not too salty. Ate it all and felt incredibly satisfied! Also the prices really cannot be beat for these dishes - I will be back! read more

OVERVIEW: Lanzhou (pronounced (Lan Joe) is a large city located in northwestern china. Its known worldwide, for its signature hand pulled noodles, called Lanzhou la mian. To create la mian, the noodle chef vigorously kneads, stretches, and folds a large portion of dough until it's ready. He then breaks off a small portion, and stretches it between his extended arms. Next, he folds the strand in half and streaches it again, repeating this process, until there are multiple strands of thin noodles. At this point, the noodles are placed directly into a boiling pot of water. Thereby, creating the freshest possible noodles, with an amazing texture and chew. So now, if this all seems intriguing, you can experience these special, fresh pulled noodles in Stonybrook, at Splendid Noodle. Keep in mind though, that this restaurant mainly focuses on noodle soups. And, we all know, when an establishment pays a great deal of attention to making a particular item, the results are usually fantastic. And such is the case, here, at Splendid Noodle. The rich, deep, complex broth, flavored with Chinese herbs and spices, is unlike any standard soup, or Japanese ramen broth. When ordering, you choose, either delicious vegetables, marinated meats, or seafood from the menu list, to add to your soup. Finally, you can doll it up, with a fried, or marinated soy sauce egg. Now, all this together, with the fresh hand pulled noodles, just pushes the enjoyment level over the top. Even more, the portion size is large, and quite filling. Lastly, to change things up, you can order your soup with fresh knife shaved noodles. These are shorter, and much thicker with a very chewy texture. The menu also offers cold sesame noodles, and noodles with minced pork, but the reason you really come here, is for the noodle soups. In addition, there are some fantastic cold appetizers, oden (similar to skewers, but prepared differently) , and delicious Chinese lamb or pork burgers. These burgers are listed as buns, but they are really authentic Chinese meat sandwiches - also known as, rou jia mo. WHAT TO ORDER: -The cucumber salad appetizer has fantastic flavors, and is just a little spicy. -The cold marinated beef appetizer is spicy, tender and delicious. -All of the soup choices are fantastic. But I feel the beef flank, or the fall off the bone spare rib soups are killer good. The standard beef soup is also great, if you prefer a fattier cut of meat. -All the seafood soups are made with fresh shrimps and/or clams. -Definetly try one of the Chinese burgers. The pork burger is savory and delicious. The lamb burger is even better, with a little bit of a spice kick. -The oden are tasty, and a little spicy. Can eat these separately or add to your soup. PARTING THOUGHTS: If you've only visited Japanese ramen restaurants previously, please understand that what is served here, will be vastly different in style and substance. But, if you are familiar with what is served here, rest assured that Splendid Noodle offers THE BEST authentic Lanzhou style hand pulled noodle soups, on Long Island. And to experience something significantly better, a very long drive to Flushing Chinatown, is necessary. read more

Wow. if you guys are anywhere near stony brook or around town there, VIsit this joint right hereee!!!! The noodles are hand pulled literally inside the kitchen. if you're nosy like me and look behind the counter you will see the chef pulling it. The flavors of the broth made me feel like i was on a flavor boat with how many hints of flavors it had immersed in it! The noodles were extremely soft, slurpcious and wow the beef was so yummy. the beef could have been a little for tender for my liking, but nevertheless the flavor made up for it. Just look at the pictures provided guys. the portion size as well for a $12 bowl of noodle was so huge i had to take it home to eat a whole meal the next day!! I can't believe we were the only ones in this place and how it was not at all filled. The waiters didn't seem to really care for me hmafter handing me the food. read more

Have enjoyed this restaurant many times. I always get the spare Rib noodle soup that is out of this world. The ribs are so tender and fall right off the bone.

Totally underrated!! I have lived in the area for a couple years and I've only tried it recently for the first time. The food came out super fast, it was filling, and super affordable.

Excellent taste, price, service, and speed. Try the beef noodle soup -- tastes just like what I have had in Taiwan and Flushing!

A really really solid noodle joint in Stony Brook - something that is hard to come by. I ordered the beef tendon with knife cut noodles and it was delicious! Generous portion, chewy noodles, and really flavorful broth that wasn't too heavy. Their chili oil is AMAZING - it has a smokiness to it and I haven't found in a lot of other chili oils and it just elevates your bowl of noodles when you add some! Everything is super affordable here about $10 per bowl before tax, and you would be hard pressed to find a better Chinese hand pulled noodle place in these parts of Long Island! Will definitely return! read more

Hand Pulled Noodles Splendid Noodle 1320 Stony Brook Rd, Stony Brook, NY 11790 Lamian Chinese noodle. Lamian is made by twisting, stretching and folding the dough into strands, using the weight of the dough. The length and thickness of the strands depends on the number of times the dough is folded. The hand-making process involves taking a lump of dough and repeatedly stretching it to produce many strands of thin, long noodle. Literally, là, means to pull or stretch, while min means noodle. This unique method of making noodles originated in China. Review: (5 out of 5 Stars) I got seafood noodles with veggies and I added a pan fried egg with vegetable broth. The noodles were so good and I enjoyed the vegetable broth too. It's hot, fresh, and very filling. If you want to make it a spicy, add the hot sauce. Friendly service, the waitress saw that I was struggling with my chopsticks , so she gave me a fork too. I laughed and said thank you. Definitely try this place out. Remember to get the vegetable broth with your noodles. As always don't forget to say Bismillah and Alhamdulilah for everything Not a Halal restaurant read more

This is my first time trying out the place. I do appreciate how their noodles are hand-pulled as they are manually made. I got the beef flank with bok choy noodle and do like how they separated out the soup in its own separate container to-go. The noodle portion was sufficient, and the beef flank had a good bite to it and doesn't feel you have to gnaw on it to break it down. I am a big fan of cilantro so glad to see they put it as default. If you are not, you can always ask them to hold on the side. They also gave 1 hot chili oil if you wish to make it more spicy on your own. All in all, very good food and I would give it a strong 3 stars. read more

Not bad, but not great either. It's a good Chinese noodle place for the area. We got the beef noodle soup. Soup base was good but definitely still lacking on the richness of the beefy flavor. Their hand pulled noodle is just like regular noodles. I should've gotten the knife cut noodles instead since I usually like a bit of chewiness to my noodles. Be warned - their hit tea is literally a packet from Costco so definitely not worth $2 - don't get it unless you are dying for a cup of tea. read more

I tried the veggie lamian and I was quite pleased. The broth had warm spices that I found many restaurants lack in. The noodles were fresh but somehow didn't pick up the broth. The bad part is that it's overpriced. But ay, that's how the stony brook area operates. Another thing is that the delivery guy was not coordinated and had no knowledge of important things like change and how to exchange it. Tip to the owners: please add more vegetarian friendly options. We would all be glad. read more

I'm not sure how or why I missed this place, but I'm so upset I have. If you're looking for authentic hand pulled noodles without have to go to the City, you've found the place. I was shocked the noodles were so good. Decent sized place and fairly quick service. Their menu is more extensive than I expected - they have all your basics and a little bit extra. I had the beef stew noodles and I was so surprised everything tasted as good as it did. The noodles were delicious, the broth was flavorful and the beef tender. It was one of the most satisfying bowls of soup noodle i've had in a long time. A bit of a trek for me, but I travel for food. I can't wait to come back here soon! read more

Avoid the traffic and crowds and go to Stonybrook for authentic Asian meals. Splendid Noodle is one of those places. It's located in a small strip mall. At first I wasn't sure where the entrance was and it appeared to be out of business but that was the business next door. I ended up entering from the back entrance. It's a very small space with an open kitchen which is cool since you get to watch the chef pull his noodle(sounds obscene but that's what he does:). The menu is also small. It's basically a list of different types of meats for each type of soup. I got the beef flank with extra veggies. The soup comes out in a huge bowl. The broth had a nice beefy flavor and the noodles were perfect. The extra veggie was basically bok choi. Not sure if the original dish comes with any vegetables. We also had the duck soup which was loaded with hacked pieces of duck and a little duck leg. Very good soup but I prefer the beefy meat broth of the beef flank soup. Overall the place looks a little worn and one of the chef's was walking around hacking up phlegm. Other than that it was a good experience and a filling lunch meal. read more

Hmm... I had high expectations for this place! Being so close to my home, I expected it to be filled with college kids from Queens eating some kick ass, homemade pulled noodles. Today was just a cluster muck of a bad experience. My wife & I dropped off the dogs and she wanted to grab some lunch. Wanna try Splendid Noodle? Sure! The wait staff? They hired two college kids, its great they speak two languages. They had to be the suckiest waiters on the planet! We're seated and are given menus. I know what I want, pulled noodles with beef flank. My wife all of a sudden hates this place. She doesn't want to eat noddles, soup, chicken wings, what the heck? She ordered a pork bun. While we're waiting, I hear and see a guy slapping and pulling the noodles. Rock on brother! A young couple sits next to me, they sit and start playing on their phones. My order comes out quickly. Where's my wife's pork bun? First waiter comes over, are you waiting for something? Yes, my pork bun. Let me check. Second waiter comes over, it'll just be a minute. 4 minutes later, her meal arrives. Really?? While I'm waiting, the guy next to me gets a phone call. He starts talking loud on the phone. Now I have two sons. I have no problem beating the hell out of this rude, snot nose. I'm thinking maybe the belt on this son of a bitch. I text my youngest son, wanna meet us for lunch at the new place? He says nah, I took my girlfriend there and it sucked. The soup was bland. He was right! My soup had no jalapeño, no cilantro, no bean sprouts, no heat, nothing!? Between the dopey wait staff, the rude college kids and nothing for my wife to eat? I have to say this place is not too splendid.. read more
