Everyone should try this place. Ignore the bad reviews! I order carry out, so I can't comment about the service, but the man that greeted me was super nice. They do offer dine-in if you wish to eat out during covid though. This is a nice hidden gem. My fave was the dial oil hand drawn wide noodles. I also ordered the mapo tofu and chive and pork dumpling. A popular dish you see in the images is the eggplant dragon. It's yummy and sweet. It reminds me of fried bananas which was always my favorite treat as a kid. I thought the flavoring of the dishes I got were just right, not too salty not too bland. read more

Amazing hand made fresh noodles. I highly advise eating here on a cold rainy winters day.

They forgot my order and brought it out after everyone else at my table was through eating. They waited until after the meal to bring out the appetizer. After all that, the food was just ok. Obviously they need to do more preparation before opening for business. Disappointing since I had high expectations. The service really was awful and waitstaff did not seem equipped to handle the traffic. read more

bad customer services. Super duper long waiting time. Unfriendly waiter. We spent 30 minutes there without any food and service!!!!!!! DO NOT GO!!! read more

Authentic Chinese food! 很棒！the signature noodle was so good that we order an extra for bringing home.

My husband and I went here on a whim for lunch. We had heard this was a restaurant that was based out of New York and this is their first Texas location, so we were curious. The restaurant inside is very new, modern, and clean. The menu offered so many items, many which we were not familiar with so we asked our waiter for recommendations. He recommended the hand pulled noodle soup with beef, the braised pork belly, and a side of rice. Both dishes were good, but not encore worthy to us. The noodles seemed fresh, but undercooked. The broth was very light and not flavorful. The braised pork belly had a lot of flavor, but I wasn't a big fan of how it was cooked. It was very mushy and soft; I would have liked a bit of a char. Maybe this was intended? It was served in a big portion so the pork belly was definitely shareable. The staff here was very welcoming and friendly. Again, the menu was extensive so I wouldn't mind coming back here to try more of their dishes. Overall, this was a unique and interesting restaurant to try in NW Plano. read more

Very simple short review: The very best Chinese food I have had in the metroplex. Enjoy this excellent restaurant. You will not be disappointed. read more

Fantastic flavors. We started with wontons in spicy sauce- not to spicy, just right. Other appetizer was scallion pancakes - very mild flavor. Eggplant dish exploding with flavor. Good ambiance inside. A must try if you like Chinese food. read more

Dial noodles, cumin beef, scallion pancake, pork belly henan style. Order more dial noodles than you thought you needed. Wontons in spices too and crispy big tray of chicken. If only they did a version of the old Spicy Village "big tray chicken"... read more

Dial Oil Noodles - really great flavor with sour, slightly sweet and garlicky notes. Noodles are really nice with a mix of thin and think portions and good. Be sure to mix the noodles! Pork Belly - very sweet and savory flavor with the sauce dispersed throughout the meat Pork and Chive Dumplings - good, but nothing to write home about Scallion Pancakes - good, but also nothing to write home about read more

Great food. Everything tasted great! Service was perfect. Dine in or take-out. Good quality Chinese food.

Delicious and unique Chinese dishes you won't get anywhere else around here. Hailing from New York with Michelin recognition, Plano is lucky to have them! If you're a garlic lover, dial noodle is your bff. It's handmade, chewy, tangy and garlicky. Dragon eggplant is also great - even my eggplant hating husband liked it. We will be back to try other dishes. read more

Found this place by accident. Good accident. Dial oil noodles were excellent. Decor and service were good also.

service was great and food was deliciou!!!

Get some authentic Chinese food here. Great atmosphere, delicious food. I suggest to try to Dial Oil hand-drawn noodle if you have no idea where to start. read more

Went there for dinner per friends recommendation. We were pleasantly surprised. The noodle came piping hot and the broth was really good. Mixed with the Hand Pulled Noodles are transparent rice noodles. The Chinese Beef Hamburger was spicy but my husband loved it. He calls it Tasty Spicy. The pot stickers had good flavor and love the extra thin layer of crisp on the bottom. It was a great meal. read more

I wish I could leave zero stars. Very poor service and my order was not even given correctly as ordered. The waiter laughed and said you can condiments from the table. Like what! None of the meals come with rice or noodles. They charge extra for it on top of the entrees if you want some. If you want to substitute any meat they charge extra, which is understandable, however if you are going to charge over 2.00 like other businesses you should inform the customer. To pay over 84.00 for lunch that was not even made right , tasty or how you wanted is the worse. Please don't go here unless you are prepared to overpay for your meal. They still had the audacity to try to argue with me that the fees were high since all the food or their supplies are overpriced where they buy it from. Nothing matched the menu fees at all. I could have went to fine dine elsewhere for a better meal and service with what I paid here. read more

The restaurant is very new and clean, the staff is decent, food came out fast. My rating is based purely on the quality and taste of the food. My favorite foods are noodles, I have gone to all of the noodle soup restaurants in Dallas and the quality here is subpar. I'm so sad because this is so close to my house, i don't enjoy the 25 min drive to Allen or plano, so i really hope Uncle Zhou's will improve. For now, I'll continue to make that drive. To start off, the noodles in the beef noodle soup i had were completely undercooked, there were solid raw dough in the thick chunks of noodles. This is because the noodles were really wide and really thick. The chefs underestimated the cooking time. A good hand pulled noodle can be wide, but then it has to be THIN and the dough has to be well kneaded and stretched to achieve the el dente or QQ chewy texture. This was just terribly thick and raw. There was no chewy-ness, the texture was a 2/10. Next, the noodles being so thick and wide could not absorb any of the flavors of the soup. I had to add extra sauce to give the wide dough some flavor so i could swallow. Flavor was 1/10. You only get three pieces of beef in your soup with two pieces of vegetables. The broth was very underwhelming. Condiments fell flat. 2/10 This bowl of beef noodle soup was not exciting, and after I ate it, I wished I hadn't. Please improve and make the dough better, the dough is so important for a noodle house. read more

I got the H1 noodles with beef and lamb dumplings. Service was fast and friendly. The noodles were large chewy and heavenly. I asked for some beef with my noodles that was tender and had a nice flavor. The dumblings were also meaty and flavorful. Would definitely come by again. At one point, one of the staff member turned up the Chinese music and started doing some traditional dance (at least I assume). Definitely got an extra browny point for that. read more

The lamb dumplings and beef noodles are delicious! They are soft opening so there are a lot of items are not available. I will come back for more noodles. Hopefully they have thin hand-pulled noodles next time. Can't wait to try it! read more

A waitress inside has a very bad attitude.She always ignore the answers.The food is not hot pick up less than 15 minutes.不推荐

the hand pulled noodles are so good!!! highly recommend it. cute decor, open kitchen, friendly staff. food is consistently great

I ordered the pork and cabbage dumplings, the were delicious. The filling was seasoned very well and the dough was tender. I also had the shredded pork in spicy sauce. This was very good a lot of pork and no filling. Ir could have been more spicy. This is the best Chinese food I've had in this area. read more

Was really excited to try with the Michelin recognition. Went there with family and waited 1hour 40 min for food. Came out with a few appetizers only. We paid and left. They said our order was up next but never came. We proceeded to fast food as we were starving. One man chef cannot sustain the demand. Chef needs a few more chefs in kitchen to meet demands. read more

I originally recommended this place but going back decided to change my review. Tonight the food wasn't as good, the service miserable, we had to wait almost an hour for our food, we had to ask for plates, we had to ask them to clean up our used dishes and only one entree came at a time. We waited for the other entree for another half hour. The large shrimp wasn't deveined! I watched and they were filling many take out orders instead of serving us our food. The servers couldn't speak English. My family and I went for lunch the first time and it was different. Now we'll never go back. read more

Poor service, food is greasy, very spicy, hot lights above adds to the temperature indoors.

Updating my rating in June 21 - explored more of the menu and most items are ok. The hand pulled noodles and the hot and sour soup are my favorite items here. read more

Worst chinese food I have ever had. Definitely not worth $48 for 3 meals that taste slimy, oily and a weird flavor. The kung Pao chicken us not white meat and none of our meals came with rice. I wouldn't give this pace 1 star. Never to return. read more

I don't know how this place is rating so high. First and last time here. I ordered the sesame chicken and it was inedible. Chicken is usually lean, but it seemed like they used all their scrape skin and fat edges - for the whole order not just a few pieces. Also, the sauce had this weird gelatin consistency I haven't seen in other restaurants. Too bad! read more

The hand pulled noodle suppose to be their specialty dish but the noodles are stuck together and you can't even pulled them apart. Most dishes are too oily and on the sweet side. read more

The only reason I am choosing one and not zero stars is the quality of the food itself. 35 minutes to take my order, and when asked how long it will be to actually get my food, the answer was another 30 minutes. I walked out. Terrible service. Truly incompetent staff. Solid potential to develop with the quality of food, but their management needs to take a hard look at staffing issues when they are busy. read more

The food here was fantastic and the service was even better! One of the best experiences I've had in any restaurant!!

I feel bad for the people who left negative reviews because they came during the restaurant's soft opening, when wait time/service was long and the restaurant didn't have all their items yet, because this place is GREAT. I can tell you that I came in today for Saturday lunch, 2/15/20, and all those problems don't exist now. Service was good and the servers were attentive, I came in and was seated immediately (in fact, greeted at the door before I even opened it), and the food came out really quickly. I ordered the lamb dumplings and lamb noodles. First of all, I LOVE their hand-pulled noodles! You can see the chefs behind the counter actually pulling it! And the noodles have a great chewy texture so full of that good noodle-y flavor. The broth was delicious and light, it was SO comforting. The lamb dumplings, ALSO made with fresh homemade dough, were fantastic. This place is such a great find for noodles and dumplings, I can't wait to come back. My only complaint is that it's located in an area with too few parking spaces. read more

We finally got the chance to dine at Uncle Zhou and were impressed with the food. They were all very tasty. The service was also superb. The prices are higher than other authentic Asian restaurants and they charge $1.50 for rice unlike typical Asian restaurants. I think they should at least offer rice for free with each order of entree due to their price point. The restaurant is overall very clean but I would recommend that they pay a little more attention to the chairs/ booths as well like they do on the floors and tables. Overall it was a good experience and we will definitely return. read more

Delicious hand drawn noodles! I had the H2 and the lamb was so tender. I definitely recommend for cold rainy days or anytime really.

By seeing Mike Chen video I want to try it here, but it was a big disappointment. I have ordered hand-pulled noodles with lamb spicy version, but they gave me without spice and noodles were not cooked properly, there was no flavor, it was a to-go order, I called them they were ready to make once again, fortunately, I did return the first picked up order the owner was checking either I was correct or not. He didn't believe me. The second time also I didn't find any flavor and it was bland. read more

Wow where to begin. I came in with my team at 11am to give this place a try. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time since we were trying to beat the lunch rush but service was not only slow but also terrible. Less than half the menu was available and the waitress still didn't even know what was in the dishes. There's not pictures for the dishes so when they brought the food out they had no idea what each dish was and who to give it too. Absolute nightmare sadly it doesn't end there. We were still waiting for our dumplings which never came and when we told them it was missing they were confused and by this time people started to come in for lunch. Now here's when it gets special. The waitress started actively ignoring us we would wave them over because at this point we were already there for two hours waiting for just dumplings but when we tried to get their attention they would see the wave and turn around and immediately go to another table to avoid helping us. That's just the service. This restaurant is from New York so I had high hopes but I think the owner still thinks he's in New York because the portion to dollar ratio is horrendous. Maybe if the food was good then I'd at least understand but I think I would have had better Chinese food at Panda Express. Coming from an Asian I hope this will give you some perspective. read more

Run, don't walk. Order some dumplings and the dial oil noodles and anything else that takes your fancy. Mix the noodles well, dig in, and prepare to be delighted. YUM! read more

This chef and the food he makes is absolutely AMAZING. The service was EXTREMLY attentive. My problem with this place is that they need to fix the menu and make it clear what you are ordering. The servers also just stand there and watch your every movement which I don't like. The cold cucumbers with sesame oil and forest ear mushroom was amazing. Their signature soup tasted like water with grocery store noodles. I'll be back again but I'll only order select items. read more
