Walala Hand Pulled Noodles felt very authentic. It was really cool being able to watch them make the hand-pulled noodles right in front of you. The noodles were delicious! I thought my broth was a little too beefy for my taste, but I may have just ordered the wrong one. The braised short rib broth was really good--refreshing and almost herb-like. Service was great, and we were seated right away. The restaurant and bathrooms were also very clean. Definitely one of the more authentic spots I've tried, and I would come back if I was craving this type of food!

Food quantity: 9/10 Food quality: 7/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Overall rating: 8.5/10 The noodles were great, and our favorite dish was the wontons in spicy peanut sauce. The cucumber salad and dumplings were just okay.

Very good Chinese noodle restaurant. We got two noodle dishes and the soup dumplings. The tonkotsu broth was rich and creamy. My beef and radish noodle soup was flavorful while having a very drinkable soup. The soup dumplings were good. Broth inside was flavor packed and I just wish we had some black vinegar and ginger slices to eat it with. Very good experience would highly recommend it.

Food first, thoughts after... Wow. Authentic and delicious. Greeted in chinese at the door. Overall the service was good. They were very friendly. Everything was made fresh and the chef hand pulling the noodles in front of you. Seating is bring but not many. The restaurant was popular!

Big beef skewers

I've been hearing about Walala for some time now, so I was so excited to finally try it! The workers are pretty friendly, and we came on a Sunday evening and were able to be seated right away. We wanted to try the wontons in chili oil but they were sadly out so we ended up getting the big beef skewers. The flavoring on them was sooo good. But we did have a lot of super chewy and fatty pieces that we weren't really a fan of. The noodles came out so quickly and they were streaming hot, which we loved. The clear broth is super clean and light with a very herbal fragrance to it. Like I feel like that would be perfect to drink if you were sick. But not being sick, I did end up adding some soy sauce just to give it some more flavor. But I like that with the sauces at the table, you can kinda just customize to your liking. I think the knife cut noodles are probably my favorite type of noodles here, but the hor fun goes really well with the clear broth. I also tried the green grape fruit tea and it was so refreshing! The flavor wasn't artificial at all and it was so nice to have with the hot noodles. I think this spot is super worth if you're the type to order extra noodles, or if you're a big eater. But the portions were pretty satisfying enough on the first go for us (def not a bad thing), so we didn't get to do any refills.

This was my first time at this location it's situated in the shopping center where there's an abundance of Asian restaurants. And to be honest with you if you have your choice of so many great selections. Walala is a Michelin star restaurant that features hand-pulled noodles. There are four types of noodles that you can get. The hand pulled noodles were incredible. they are more of a soup-based type of meal and there are 10 different choices of selections where you could have the noodles in and I had the spicy shank and I loved it. As for vegetarian options there were a few but this didn't seem like I could take wifey too. Highly recommend and we'll come back to try more variations and more types of noodles. Service was a bit slow I showed up and the guest that it was meeting me showed up 15 minutes later I sat there the waitress never came by and asked me if I wanted to get anything ahead of time. Nice quaint little restaurant where you can view the people pulling the noodles and it was quite quiet I got there around a quarter to 12:00 and it was packed by 12:30

Walala is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're a noodle person. We went around 1:00pm on a Saturday and it was busy but still able to grab a table, but by 2:00 every spot was filled, so timing definitely matters. They were out of the beef pancake roll when we tried to order it, which was a little disappointing, but everything else made up for it. I got a soup with a clear soup base and it was so good, super flavorful without being too heavy. They even have a note that it's simmered for 8 hours, and you can absolutely taste the time put into it. We also tried the hand-pulled noodles and they were delicious with that perfect chewy texture. One of the coolest parts is you can literally watch them hand-pulling the noodles through a window into the kitchen, which makes the whole experience feel even more authentic. Plus, you can get a free refill of the hand-pulled noodles while you're dining in, which is such a great bonus. My husband ordered a beef-based soup that wasn't super flavorful on its own, but after adding some of the condiments from the table, it improved a lot. Overall, really solid spot with great noodles, a fun experience, and good value. I'd definitely come back.

First things first, expect a long wait here! This place is so popular and very busy. The chicken chilli dumplings were honestly the best chicken dumpling I've ever had. The hand pulled noodles were the most amazing hand pulled noodles I've ever had. Because everything is so good, they are busy and service is slow.

Do you ever go somewhere and know you're getting a home cooked meal? Cause that's every time I go here it feels like that! Food is always served hot and fresh. It doesn't take long to get the food or drinks, unless you order the hand dumplings. Those do take a bit longer than the soup to come out. The service is always friendly and they don't check in on you too much. The interior is very simple with a few tables to sit at. My favorite dish to order is the Hor Fun with beef. The beef is tender but sometimes does have a bit of fat on it. The hor fun noodles are large but soak up the broth perfectly. They also travel well and hold their shape/texture. The boba and fruit teas are absolutely delicious! I love coming here and love bringing others here to try the delicious food!

Love this noodle shop. We came with my fiancé's brother in law, who grew up in Gansu province in China, where LanZhou hand pulled noodles originated. He spoke so highly of Walala that we had to grab dinner with him there. Of course everything was very authentic. I got the knife cut beef tendon noodle combo that came with two beef skewers. It was delicious! I love that they have chili oil and black vinegar at the table so you can add more flavor and customize the taste. The beef skewers were good, but the size of the beef chunks were too big to absorb all of the seasoning, and it was very chewy, so maybe it had a lot of tendon. We also ordered the cucumber salad and the edamame. The edamame needed more chili oil. I also got to taste the dandan noodle my fiancé ordered. Sooo good. The hand pulled noodle was so QQ and chewy.

All about dem noodles. Loved the chewy and bouncy hand-pulled noodles. I went with the spicy Sliced beef not too spicy. I added some chili oil to kick it up. I loved how the broth infused in the noodles for added flavor. We also enjoyed the wonton in chile sauce which had toasted peanuts and chives as well hint of peanut in the sauce. The wrapper was so light and delicate it melted in your mouth. Yum

my second time back in Orlando for many years, my friends inviting me over to eat some and made noodles. Oh my gosh, these were delicious and very fresh. I'm attaching my bowl of soup with very white noodles. The noodles themselves were delicious with delicious broth and Meat highly recommend this place if you want authentic handmade noodles.

Very pleasantly surprised by Walala! Located in the Enson Market plaza, the restaurant is clean, well organized and the staff speaks both English and Chinese. The noodles are made fresh and cooked immediately, you can watch the masters at work in the glass open kitchen in the back. You definitely taste the difference between fresh and dry or frozen noodles, they're so much more bouncy. The portion sizes are pretty hefty. I had the beef shank preserved veggies with hand pulled noodles. Lots of tender slices of beef and the veggies were not super salty which was perfect. There was so much noodle! If you're a slow eater, you may want to portion some out so it doesn't soak up all the soup. The soup was very flavorful. They have a lot of side dishes and appetizers to choose from as well.

DOMU absolutely delivered. We ordered several dishes to share, and everything came out beautifully…read morepresented and delicious. The wings were the standout!! They were crispy, sticky, and perfectly sauced without losing their crunch. Definitely something I'd order again. The cucumber dish was fresh with a nice kick and plenty of texture, while the shishito peppers were beautifully blistered and seasoned. We also tried the cheezus, which was easily another favorite -- warm, creamy, and perfect for sharing. The dish topped with greens, lemon, and a creamy element was also a nice addition to the table. And the service was fast! Every table was full but we did not wait at all and felt very taken c Overall, DOMU does shareable plates really well. Everything we tried felt thoughtfully prepared, portions were great for sampling several dishes, and there wasn't a bad plate on the table.

First time having the jumbo wings and wow! I loved their seasonal flavor which was honey chipotle…read more I was very impressed. I see why this place gets all the rewards. It can get very busy, but if you're looking for wings or small plates, they have bar seating that is super convenient. Be back soon! East End Market as a whole is a vibe. So much to look at & if you're up for a little walk, there are a bunch of vintage stores, cafes, and a record store down the road.

Made a reservation for Valentines Day. From the moment we walked in, we knew it would be chaotic…read more The restaurant was not even half full. The hostess was also a server who never had anything to write on and had to constantly come back to us to order food and drink. I think it was an understaffed situation and not the two servers fault necessarily. Food came before cocktails, no silverware when food was delivered and then once silverware arrived, no napkins? We were in a cozy little booth which was nice for Valentine's Day. The restaurant was clean however they had the front door propped open and letting the cool air in (which was nice) but also the bugs (not so great). Now onto the good part. The food was amazing. From the curry mussels to the goat cheese and beet salad and the ramen. The ramen is so so good. We weren't in a rush for dinner but we also were not expecting it to take as long as it did or have the low level of service. Might give it another try since the food was so good but hope that they can get staffing figured out.

This place is a real gem, just off mills in the Ivanhoe district. They are way more than a ramen…read morebar. We stopped in for an early dinner and had our choice of seating. They have these great family friendly booths that are partially enclosed, would also be ideal for a date night. David, our server was quite possibly the best server in all of Orlando. Truly helpful kind and memorable. He explained that they have daily specials, a pretty extensive happy hour and while there is not a kids menu there are tons of kids friendly options including A ramen bowl (broth and noodles). They also have plastic cups with straws and lids for littles that many restaurants have phased out and I still very much appreciate. We tried the sugar snap peas with shrimp, surprisingly delicious with a complex slightly spice sauce, the chicken lovers ramen, their burger, tofu and the unexpected star of the show the lobster butter toast. The ramen was great and the noodles were the best texture I've had in a long while. The tempura chicken thigh that comes in it would be great even on its own The burger was pretty good but the fries that came with it were absolutely top tier. The lobster butter toast. Japanese milk bread toasted in plenty of rich lobster butter. I couldn't get enough and neither could my kids. So great. The owner was kind and informative. He truly cares about his restaurant and the quality of the foods they put out. I heard rumors that they may make an egg sando with that toast and the moment that just he menu I'll be back to try it! 10/10. Go enjoy yourself.

A friend introduced me to Tori Tori, and I'm so glad they did! This place gets packed quickly, but…read morethe food and drinks are FIRE! Some of my favorites are the Blue Crab & Corn Croquettes, Garlic Fried Rice, and Lamb Karubi Lollipops. Everything I've tried has made me excited to come back for more. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice depending on the vibe you're looking for. However, parking fills up fast, so I recommend arriving early if you can. My only con is that they don't offer happy hour on Fridays! Other than that, I love the atmosphere, food, and drinks. I can't wait for my next visit to Tori Tori!

We finally got to go here after a friend suggested it. I had Tori Tori on my to go list for a while…read morebut I am always wary about spots on Mills because they can be crazy busy. I arrived around 430 and waited till they opened at 5. There were several others as well, waiting for the doors to open. Our party of five found one of this tables at the end which is shaped like a large D letter, weird sitting but the only other better seats were outside and I am not breathing in exhaust fumes of Mills as we eat. There is a small sheet of paper with the food items, no prices listed and you need to open a tab at the bar to place your orders. You also need to get your drinks from the bar but they do serve you the tapas style food. It's all small items, three or four smallish items per plate and in varying prices, not listed anywhere but online on their site. I ordered the crab and corn croquetas ($9.5), crab rice ($11), mushrooms in soy sauce ($7), beef with chimichurri ($7.5) and a soda ($3.5). The crab and corn croquetas are a good sized portion, coming in three balls with a tender inside full of tasty corn pieces and crab. The sauce they come with also delivers on making them stand out. The crab rice was a good sized scoop and you could taste the freshness of it all, use the small slice of lemon to give it a tiny extra kick. The mushrooms in soy sauce were absolutely rocking on the taste buds with the umami really strong but so tasty. I ate half of the plate and brought the rest for snacking on tomorrow. Yay The beef with chimichurri was about 3 ounces worth of beef and sliced into four really small bites. A bit pricey for what you're given. My friend ordered the pork belly which was the same size and had a lovely taste to it. She also ordered the gyoza which came with five small pieces and those were tasty. The servers were super quick in bringing out the plates and due to the smallish sized table, it got overwhelming a bit quickly and we had to shuffle stuff around but since the meals are smallish, you do eat pretty quickly too. You have to be there early or else the seating is a roll of the dice, as soon as we began to leave, someone scooped in to grab the table. One poor guy was with his lady at the bar, she was seated but he didn't have one for him so he was standing beside her. The parking is shared with the other restaurant beside it and there are signs about paying parking... but I think that's only for certain hours?
