    Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup
    Bruce K.

    We came here because we were in the mood for some noodles, but something different than what we usually get. I think Yu Noodles will be in our rotation of places to eat now. They have dishes, and it's not like it's a lot of noodles, but it's affordable and they also have different types of xiao long bao that keep it interesting. I do have to say that their XLB' wrapper is a bit thick, but I thought it wasn't bad considering that they offer it. I got the beef noodle, and I enjoyed it. I really don't have any negative side about it. This location is a neighborhood type of restaurant. It's right next to the apartments, and next to a Safeway. It literally has the building blocks of a neighborhood food spot and I like that. Come here if you live in the area. Get a nice hot bowl of soup and noodles and be satisfied!

    I had the sichuan beef noodles, which were delicious. If I could change anything, it would be to add more beef. But you can't argue at the amazing price point!

    THE BIG: Located in Tysons Corner, tucked away in the shopping center with a Safeway right off of Anderson Rd. Plenty of seating inside and parking lot available with plenty of space. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wfie and I came here with a couple of friends to soak up some noodles and dumplings. Ordering was fast and getting our food was ultra fast. I think they have a good system h ere. We got the Spicy oil wontons, pan fried pork bun, pork soup dumpling, peppercorn spicy soup dumpling, shrim & pork dumpling, yibin noodle, porkchop over rice, and beef noodle soup. Tbh everything was pretty good, didn't have any faults with the items. Kudos for extra speed. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The damage done here was around $126 for everything. Pretty great for very fast service and delicioius noods on a brisk fall evening.

    Very quick service at Yu Noodles in Tysons! I came with 4 friends in a Sunday evening. There were only a few people in the restaurant. The servers quickly took our order and food came out FAST. I loved the spicy wontons and pan fried buns. I also thought the pork and peppercorn pork dumplings were delicious and full of flavor. I would skip on the pork and shrimp dumplings. The filling was overcooked and no soup inside. We also ordered a bunch of noodle dishes, but they weren't my favorite. Overall - great place for a quick bite!

    N9. Hot and Sour Foon with Minced Pork
    Antarjot K.

    Yu noodles is such a homey local mom and pop casual spot to go to. We got the: Crystal Shrimp dumplings Steamed Pork Buns Hot & Sour Foon Pork soup dumplings All of them were really good! You do need to ask for soy sauce if you need it, but they had black vinegar and other condiments on the table. Also, we liked the dim sum, but it's not going to match the profile of if you went to Hong Kong style dim sum because it is a different region of cuisine. Overall, great experience and loves at how fast and attentive the servers were. I will definitely be back, especially for those hot and sour noodles.

    Somehow they seem to get better and better. I'm a big fan of their garlic cucumber appetizer and intestine soup. Beef tendon is a must. And even though pricey. Get and share the coconut sago dessert. Skip the soup dumpling.

    N9. Hot and Sour Foon with Minced Pork
    Diana S.

    I went with a group of friends and we got a variety of different things. I got the N9 Hot and Sour Foon with Minced Pork and it was not nearly as spicy as it looks and tasted pretty good. The Yibin noodles (felt like spicy Asian bolognese) were much more spicy. The Sichuan beef noodles were not mouth-numbing. And the brisket golden noodles had a different taste (not sure I liked it). I felt the menu didn't provide enough info as to what was in each dish. The soup dumplings of course are a must. Service was fast. The restaurant was clean. I would recommend.

    Located in a pretty quiet shopping center it almost feels like finding a hidden gem. My cousin and I stopped by on a whim because we quickly browsed their menu online and saw that they had soup dumplings. Everything we ordered was actually fantastic. We got the plain pork soup dumplings, N5 Yibin Spicy Dry Noodle with minced pork, and spicy oil pork wontons. All the things we ordered were good in their own ways but they all had an immense amount of flavor. Anything labelled spicy was not actually too spicy and could be adjusted with the chili at the table. The Yibin spicy noodles are a pretty big portion that could be shared if you plan on getting a bunch of other appetizers. The ladies working here are friendly and service is fast.

    Boo thang was having his dumpling cravings and I heard about this spot. They're invasively fast (not for sure if that is a good thing, but at least we got our food very fast lol). I love how the restaurant architecture fit the culture. We ordered a bunch of dumplings, side dishes of veggies. I believe the cravings were satisfied. I love how there is a variety to choose from and service was very quick. Will definitely come back!

    Good food at great prices! The chongqing noodles were very flavorful but not as spicy as they could have been. The soup dumplings with pork were pretty good too!

    R1. Minced Pork Over Rice With Fried Egg
    Courtney B.

    I visited this fast causal location back in April of this year while on a business trip. Let's get to it, shall we? Steamed pork buns Steamed pork buns are a comforting and filling side dish/breakfast item that can be found in many Chinese bakeries next to the steamer. With its fluffy skin and delicious savory pork filling, each bun has the perfect balance of flavors. The ones served here are a true representation of of a perfect steamed bun. Each ingredient in these buns worked together in harmony, delivering tender baos with a subtly spiced filling. Minced Pork Over Rice With Fried Egg Taiwanese Minced Pork is ground pork that is gently cooked and simmered in Taiwanese flavors for a super simple, low carb meal. While minced pork rice is an important icon in typical Taiwanese folk cuisine, the variety of methods to customize flavors is so wide that it creates considerable differences between regions. The spices used in this dish were made with spices that were familiar to me, but not in way that I tasted previously. The flavor of the meat combined with the egg created a filling dish with a somewhat muted profile. Pan Fried Chive & Pork Dumplings These pork and chive dumplings (韭菜猪肉饺子) are classic Chinese dumplings filled with ground pork and Asian chives. The fillings were juicy and flavorful. This was an example of an appetizer done right. #supportlocal

    Service: Fast and friendly service Food: delicious! I think they can add a bit more spice to this noodle dish but the broth was nice and hearty. Ambiance: it's casual dining.

    Golden cabbage and Spicy Marinated Beef and Tripe
    Nita T.

    I have no complaints about Yu Noodles. Food, good. Service, good. Seating, good. Prices, good. Fan favorites include the cucumber garlic salad (refreshing and so peanutty), marinated beef and tripe (spicy!), wonton in chicken broth (so comforting and mild), pan fried pork and chive dumplings (flavorful and umami), crystal shrimp dumplings (classic and well done here), minced pork noodles (penutty and savory and delicious), and even their tap water is good! The only thing I've tried and didn't love is the golden cabbage as it's too sweet for me. It's like a carrot ginger dressing over cooked cabbage which was fine but I wouldn't order again. It's hard to go wrong with any dishes honestly!

The food was beyond flavorful regardless of what we ordered [and we ordered a ton if you didn't see before].

For a group of 6 we split the bill to be $30/per person and we still had food to take home as left overs! Service: nothing out of this world because girl they are BOOKED & BUSY.

They also hid a generous amount of veggies underneath the noodles. - salt and pepper squid: these were probably the crispiest thing I've ever bitten into. I swear the whole restaurant could hear my bite. So good! The crispy bits were perfect on my white rice too. - BBQ potatoes: yum!!! A must get. - steamed pork slices with preserved veggies: the pork belly was crazy tender (like kakuni), and the veggies were really tasty too. - brown sugar ice jelly: a very refreshing, not too sweet, your grandma would approve kind of dessert. A must get. They give enough to share! Service and ambiance is nothing to write home about, this is the kind of hole in wall spot that prioritizes delicious food. 10/10 no notes WILL DEFINITELY RETURN!

Sat on higher chairs (given option for lower chairs/table or higher). The place was very busy for a Sunday evening. We waited almost 5 minutes before our server came by. I was counting down the seconds til we were going to leave. We ordered the Thai chicken fried rice & Chicken Drunken Noodle as usual to sample if this place is legit in our eyes & mouths. After 8 minutes, our food came out hot in large flat bottomed bowls. The portions seemed reasonable. The chicken fried rice had several pieces of white meat chicken, scrambled eggs & nice assortment of veggies. The smell & taste test passed with good amount of wok hei in every bite. My son finished 99% of it. He gave it a 10! My medium spicy chicken drunken noodles had a good amount of heat and very good portion. The Thai flavors of hot, sweet & salty were all there. Ordered the spice tray for more heat & added vinegar-chili for that sour kick to cut through the rich flavors of the noodles. Only problem was that some of the chicken pieces were overcooked and hard & plastic-like. Not ideal but better than undercooked. 8/10 Overall, service was okay but the food was very good! Good enough to come back again.

CALAMARI RINGS - 15 This was the perfect sharable between the three of us since we were able to enjoy at least 5-6 calamari rings per person. It was fried perfectly and went well with the Thai chili sauce (?). Without the sauce, it would have been a bit underwhelming though. PAD SEE EW (+SHRIMP) - 20 The pad see ew was very flavorful, each wide noodle was coated with a generous amount of sauce, which was mostly savory with a hint of sweetness. The portion of noodles wasn't too big, but it did come with half a plate of broccoli and julienne carrots. I would have preferred Chinese broccoli (gai lan), which is what is normally in the dish. JUMBO CRAB MEAT FRIED RICE - 25 The crab fried rice was pretty disappointing. The fried rice was bland and the crab meat was dry (maybe overcooked?) leaving each bite unsatisfactory. I would not order this again here. The interior is clean and spacious. Not a bad spot for Thai (a more Americanized option) in downtown McLean.

I also tried their seaweed salad which tasted fresh and had the right amount of seasoning. And their Takoyaki was cooked perfectly and had a good amount of octopus inside.

For the uninitiated, abura soba is a brothless ramen where the magic happens at the bottom of the bowl. A savory aromatic oil and tare base sit beneath springy, chewy noodles, topped with a silky poached egg and classic ramen accoutrements. The key is to mix thoroughly -- really commit -- until the egg emulsifies with the oil and sauce, coating every strand in glossy, umami-packed richness. The texture is the standout. The noodles have a satisfying chew that holds up against the weight of the oil without becoming heavy. It's indulgent but not cloying. The customization element elevates the experience: a drizzle of chili oil adds warmth and depth, while a splash of vinegar cuts through the richness with bright acidity. Dial it in to your preference and the bowl transforms in real time. If you're a fan of Chinese scallion oil noodles or Korean jajangmyeon, you'll recognize the comfort-food DNA here -- but abura soba feels more refined and layered. The flavor is concentrated, savory, and deeply satisfying without relying on broth. This is the kind of spot that knows exactly what it is and executes with confidence. A refreshing change from the ramen norm and absolutely worth the visit. Bonus points for the casual kid friendly atmosphere and also offering traditional soup ramen and donburi for less adventurous dining companions.

The place was filling up and the ambiance reminds me of a traditional bustling noodle house - perfect for the cold snap we were experiencing at the time. We got hot and sour noodle soup, sichuan beef noodle soup, and an order of their pork soup dumplings. Portions are generous and prices are fair, it's easy to become a regular here if you live nearby. The hot and sour noodle soup is as advertised - just enough spice to complement the sour, but not overwhelm to make it feel like mala. It's served, as expected, with glass noodles, some bak choi, and some pork slices. Nothing spectacular but par for the course. The sichuan beef noodle foon soup was slight notch better. The broth gives really warm vibe and you can tell it's been brothing for a long time. Again just the right amount of spicy to make you keep slurping for more. The noodles were average, chewy, but not bouncy. Also comes with a healthy amount beef slices and bak choi. Again - a great noodle soup bowl but nothing jaw dropping.
