For whatever reason when I first came to Yu noodles near soft opening I thought it was pretty bland and bad. My friends finally convinced me to give it another try saying it's really good. I will say that the food was solid this time around solid 3.5 stars. The original pork soup dumplings were flavorful (albeit slightly too sweet for my preference), but could use more soup. The Pan fried dumplings were also decent flavor (albeit could use more meat filling) and were fried well. N5 Yibin Dry noodles were flavorful with that slight mala kick. The beef brisket rice noodles in golden soup was surprising. I was expecting a different broth, but to my surprise it was the sour mustard green broth. Tangy and flavorful without being too heavy. After this round, would actually say I would come back again. read more

Our party of 4 adults and 4 small children had a great dinner here. We ordered 4 different types of minced pork noodles (cold and hold), 2 orders of fried dumplings, 1 steamed pork bun, a beef-and-rice platter, and a cucumber salad. The total was around $100 before tip. The noodles were amazing. The degree of elasticity on the noodle made each bite worth it. The sauce and the minced pork made all of the noodles taste great. The fried dumplings and its sauce were superb. The tangy/sweet/slightly sour sauce paired so well with the dumplings. We're definitely going back to try the other noodles! read more

Yu Noodles - N7. Sesame Paste w. Minced Pork - Chinese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I came here specifically for the Yibin Spicy Dry Noodles and they absolutely delivered! There is such a great combination of texture and flavor in every single bite. The minced pork was high quality--perfectly savory with absolutely no gristle, which I really appreciate. They also completely nailed the spice level. It had a "just right" kick that enhanced the dish without overpowering the incredible flavors. Yelp steered me right again, thank you! I'll definitely be back. read more

I'm not sure how I haven't left review for this place where I've visited many many times. Have dined in prob 2-3 times and most of the times it's my pick up place after a long day at work and did not feel like cooking. From their crispy fungus with pickled pepper, , spicy oil wonton, beef noodle soup, chicken leg soup, spicy dry noodles, soup dumplings, I can basically make a lot of things I've ordered and liked from the menu! Service, packaging for to go always consistent. :) read more

Not consistent. Chicken mushroom pan fried dumplings did not taste fresh, not sure mushrooms were in there and dough was thick. N6 noodles with chicken was good, but didn't sit well later. Daily specials was hit with sesame balls hot out of oil. Spicy shrimp with chives dumplings was a miss. Jet liked his N5 spicy noodles with minced meat. Update: prices have gone up and service has gotten slower since our initial review. Sad read more

Yu Noodles - Inside restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

We happened to found this place while waiting for our Tesla and decided to see if it's a good noodle place. The people were very nice and welcoming. It's clean and opened layout. They seat you and serve you quickly. Not much of a wait time. We tried their soup dumplings and few other noodles and they were just amazing! Soup dumplings are very juicy. Noodle broth was flavored perfectly. They were truly authentic. All the food was incredible so we went back twice more. 100% recommend to go by and eat! read more

Great noodles, dumplings and more! Kind of janky location - formerly a BBQ joint - but don't miss it! We had cold scallion and chicken noodles, beef noodle soup, pork wontons in broth, pork shumai, pork dumplings, soup dumplings, and pickled 'fungus' mushrooms - lots of good stuff with subtle and interesting flavors! Added chili oil for some heat.Nice portions, too, with leftovers for lunch. Terrific service - quick and friendly. Standard Chinese decor - with a wagon wheel light fixture from the previous BBQ joint! Nothing fancy but really decent and satisfying meal. Will be back! Yum!! read more

Dropped off vehicle for service and this place was very close - plus I've been wanting Chinese food and it came up in a Yelp search. :) I treated DD and overall it was very good. We were seated immediately and given water and menus. Orders also taken quickly and the food came out piping hot in a very short time. The Yibin spicy dry noodles were just at the verge of spice level for me, and I did enjoy them but DD said she thought that was all they had going for them - the spice. No flavor profile to speak of. The best thing we shared were Peppercorn spicy soup dumplings, which were truly excellent. Very flavorful and tender. The lamb stew pot was a disappointment; there were far more bits of bone than lamb, and only a few lonely vegetables. We both just had water, although I thought about a smoothie, deciding in the end that it would be too filling. At just under $32, this was a very reasonable cost for lunch for two. It's nowhere near home, though, so when I'm next at the dealership to service my vehicle, I'll try a new spot. read more

I ordered minced pork on rice and asked if It could be made spicy. The waiter paused for a few minutes and said, "No since It was alrady recooked. The dish came out, but no as shown as the pictures posted on Yelp. I was given cold a bolied egg instead of fried egg. Rice was not properly cooked, chewy. Not good!!! read more

Yu Noodles - Minced pork on rice for $8. - Chinese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Stopped by my third Yu Noodles location and loved the inside space this place occupies. The parking lot is oddly laid out but the inside makes up for the outside and it's not quite worn off prior restaurant name. We came for an early dinner on a Saturday and walked right in and were seated. The space is modern and clean. My husband and I ordered: S7 spicy oil wonton- 10 pieces, some solid spice with peanuts on top. One of my favorite starters. S1 scallion pancakes- so flaky and crisp! A little oily but sooo delicious. A3 Buffalo wing & hot sauce- 6 pieces, I think this is fried in chili oil, leaves a nice burn in my mouth and lips. The breading is so tasty. N4 Sichuan beef noodles soup- my favorite dish at Yu Noodles! The beef so so tender and flavorful, the broth has delicate spice notes in addition to its rich beefy flavor. I don't find the spice overpowering and love that it comes with a few pieces of bok choy. Pizza soup dumplings- I've never noticed this on their menu, and my husband was daring enough to want to try it. It really did taste like pizza! The meet in a tomato broth, I thought it was good though I wouldn't personally get it again. I can't wait to come back for more of my favorites like soup dumplings and golden cabbage! read more

We went for lunch, and it wasn't too busy. Service was super fast. I tried the veggie dumplings and the tofu. They were good. There aren't many vegetarian options, so my choices were limited. The ambiance isn't anything special, but it's nice enough. It's not making it into my rotation, but I'd still say it's worth a stop in. read more

Having been to the other Rockville location by town center, I was already familiar with the menu and hoped that it would match (or exceed) my expectations based on experiences at the other location. Happy to report that I enjoyed my dinner here! This is a much larger and more modern looking location of the two. I ordered my usual chicken leg noodle soup with soup dumplings on the side. On a cool, autumn night, it was the perfect combination. As expected, the food was yummy and tasted authentic. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be, but it was the middle of the week and we had gotten dinner a little later in the evening. The food came out quickly and service was great. Because of the larger location, there is plenty of parking all around the restaurant (unlike the other location). It's kind of tucked away along Gude but definitely worth stopping in. read more

I almost don't want to write this review because Yu Noodles is one of those hidden gems I selfishly want to keep to myself. They have two locations, one near the courthouse in Rockville and the other off Gude Drive. This review is for the Gude Drive location. The staff is always friendly, the space is clean and well decorated, and the food? Absolutely incredible. I've worked my way through the entire menu, and I can honestly say I haven't had a single dish I didn't like. Special shoutout to their delicious freshly made soy milk (hot or cold), it's out of the world and must try if you've never had it. If you're craving authentic, satisfying noodles and more, Yu Noodles is a solid 10/10. read more

Fantastic discovery. Went to this restaurant to try it out as I received one of those paper coupons at home, and my kids love noodle places. What a pleasant surprise! The place is clean and welcoming. Staff is very friendly. The food is superb. We had shareable appetizers and then noodle bowls. it was so good. It is one of those rare places where I will go again. A must try for whoever never been to this place. read more

I visited Yu Noodles on a weekend evening with a couple of friends. It's a cozy, family-owned spot--not too spacious, but with an open layout. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. We ordered a variety of dishes, including: - Soup dumplings, which were decent but not the best I've had. - Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup, which was fantastic! Incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend stopping by, especially for the noodle soup! read more

The best of the already great Yu noodle franchise. Spacious, nice decor (aside from the bright white kitchen lights), and the friendliest service. The following are excellent: - Wood ear mushrooms (listed as fungus) with pickled pepper - pork soup dumplings - sesame paste noodles with minced pork, cucumber, edamame, and carrot I would skip the fried pork chop egg minced pork rice plate. The pork batter isn't that great or crispy and the pork is a tad overcooked. read more

This used to be O'Briens Pit BBQ/Branded 72. It's a huge space- the former bar location is used for storage. This would make an excellent Karaoke room if they wanted to add more business. The main dining room is huge! It's almost 10x larger than their Dawson Ave location. My favorite dish is still the Yibin Spicy Noodle. I did like their scallion noodle. The noodles tasted fresh and were chewy. I tried their pork soup dumpling and peppercorn soup dumplings. Honestly, I could not taste any difference between the two. I still think the XLB at Lanzhou Hand Pull Noodles in Gaithersburg is the one to beat these days. Glad they opened a second location with ample amounts of parking. Next door there is a really good ice cream/waffle place, so you can have lunch/dinner covered with dessert next door. read more

Amazing, as expected from their previous locations! I love this new location because it's so big, so it's pretty easy to get a seat. Inside the atmosphere was casual and bustling, everyone happily enjoying their food. All the food we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the staff are fast and friendly. Noodles in scallion oil with chicken: the noodles were so tasty, and it also had carrots, cucumber, edamame, chicken Shrimp and pork soup dumplings: super cute green soup dumplings! Steamed chive and pork dumplings: wow, they were so fresh and the flavor really came out Marinade duck: great flavor and tender meat Fungus with pickled pepper: loved the sour taste, good portion size Scallion pancakes: some of the best scallion pancakes I've had - crispy and warm, with a lot of scallion flavor Steamed crystal shrimp dumplings: delicious bite-sized dim sum Panfried chicken mushroom dumplings: these were panfried just right, with a crispy exterior Overall I would definitely recommend! read more

The space is nice and comforting and the service has always been quick and easy! I am a big fan of these noodles! Since the weathers been getting warm, I ordered the cold sesame paste noodles with shrimp. I also am a fan of the cucumber water that they give to every table. They use very large wide bowls so at first I thought I would definitely need more food after. The size is deceiving! I was so full after my meal! The noodles are chewy, dense, and overall just the perfect texture. The nutty savory sesame sauce topped with fresh cut veggies and combined with these noodles makes a lethal combo. I also really enjoy the fun in mixing all the noodles and items together! I'm not going to lie I was thinking about this bowl of noodles for so long after I went back the next week to get another. read more

Yu Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Love the open space - it's evident this is what used to be a BBQ restaurant. If they can keep up with the quality and food freshness, they can probably place another half dozen tables. Waitresses were friendly and shared some of their favorites. Side dishes like seaweed, soy sauce duck, wooden ear, scallion pancakes etc were above average. The beef noodle soup, a main attraction of most northern Chinese cuisine, needed refinement; the soup tasted like it's diluted. Ironically, the other common dish - the scallion pancakes tasted best. read more

The food is great! My friends and I ordered the all the soup dumplings, the panfried pork dumplings, the buffalo wing with hot sauce, and a few soup noodle dishes. Everything came out hot, fresh, and tasty! The chicken wings were crispy, hot, and really well seasoned. Don't forget to coat the wings in the chili oil at the bottom of the bowl! My other favorite dish was the flounder with pickled cabbage noodle soup. It was so hearty and delicious. I do think the soup could have been more sour and there could've been more cabbage and fish. As for ambiance, the inside of the restaurant is very interesting. It's very open and has a cafeteria or mall seating area feel. The service is good! Wait staff are friendly and efficient. I would definitely go back or order food from Yu Noodles for take out! read more

Great new location in an industrial part of Rockville with lots of parking. The decor goes with the industrial area with a touch eastern modernity. Large dining area in an open and well appointed place. We started with the pork soup dumplings which rivals that of Bob's Shanghai which has been the long time favorite and standard bearer. Our entrees consisted of the seafood noodle soup and pork chop with rice and poached egg. Not a strong flavor in the broth as this is a non-spicy dish. Seafood consisted of shrimp and a white fish. Some shanghai veggies and seaweed were added. The handmade noodles looked so perfect that you would think they were commercially made. Great pork chops if you're looking for a rice dish. Service was fast and friendly. If paying in cash, you get a discount. read more

New location and just opened a week ago. Plenty of parking. It was a spacious dining venue, not as cozy as the Rockville one. The food was almost the same. The service was great, warm and pleasant. We really wanted to try as many dishes as possible, and we ended up ordering too much. 5*Peppercorn & Spicy Chicken椒麻鸡: great taste and big portions. 4*Spicy Marinade Beef & Tripe香辣雙拼：spicy taste, portion was small. 3*Crispy Cruller油条：They were refried frozen ones, not freshly made. So they tasted a bit tough and lacked the crispy texture of the freshly made ones. 4*Steam Pork Bun蒸鮮肉包: flavorful and good, some fats were hard to chew. 5*Chongqing Noodles重庆小面: the signature noodle soup, very good. 4*Porkchop Noodles Soup排骨汤面：the portion was big, the soup was bland. 4*Black Sticky Rice w/Cocomut Milk and Mango 紫米椰奶凍: it was okay, if it had better and more mango, it would have been better. read more

Service was excellent at lunch time on valentine's day. From the moment we walked in to anytime we put down the menu. Food was decent. I had two plates today. The sticky rice siomai with pork and the spicy oil pork wonton. The sticky rice siomai with pork was a 6/10. Flavorful but the pork was nonexistent. Was it in the broth? Was it supposed to be on the side? Something went wrong here. Wouldn't get again. The spicy oil with pork wonton were fire. 10/10 and would get everytime. I'm interested to see how good it is for takeout but sit-down was outstanding. The oil was spicy with a good flavor. Nice amount of wontons. Ordered some rice on the side to drizzle the oil over. Love it. Interested in trying the Sichuan beef noodles soup or the hot and sour food with minced pork next time. Or the beef brisket w/ rice noodles in golden soup. read more

Such a nice surprise to see something open where Crossroads used to be. It's more of an industrial area so not a ton of foot traffic but I hope this place does well because I like when local businesses thrive but also because it's so close to our house. My husband and I came here for a quick lunch today. They did a nice job decorating. The business logo was etched into the wood tables, on the ceramic and tableware, which was a nice touch. The food was pretty good. We had the chive/pork dumplings (pan fried), these were great and they didn't skimp on the filling! We shared the spicy dry noodles with minced pork, it was very good and a huge portion. The manager, Andy, happened to take our order and since it was our first time, he made suggestions. He even gave us a complimentary shredded potato dish, which was very nice. It looked like pickled cabbage and it was cold, but it was still good. The place has plenty of tables inside and the parking is plentiful. I gave it 4 stars because I think they could have more beef/chicken (breast) options, even if it's to compliment noodle dishes. read more

I've eaten here 4 times since they opened. All of the different XLB are good. The fried pork buns are amazing. Buttery soft dough with perfectly seasoned meat. The food is always excellent. Service is also excellent. The wait staff works as a team and food comes out fast and plates are taken off the table strategically. They have ice cold cucumber water which is a major plus. A major miss for a lot of Chinese restaurants in the area is using tap waters taste terrible. Yu Noodles gets this right. I don't feel pressured buying a 3$ can soda like at other restaurants because their water is so fresh. The restaurant is new and clean. Easy 5 stars read more

The restaurant was very spacious and there was a lot of room between each table. They had both booths and normal tables. I live the chinese decor they had all around the restaurant and the open kitchen was very cool to see. The food was pretty good I just didn't think the spicy 小笼包 were spicy at all but the flavor for everything was amazing. Another thing that I didn't like was the chicken wings. The flavor was amazing, probably some of the best chicken wings ive ever had, but the inside of half of them were cold, but it was cooked. This makes me believe that they were frozen and just deep fried from frozen. I could be wrong but it was weird biting into a super hot wing and the inside being cold. The service on the other hand was amazing. My sister held up her chopsticks to show me that they were different sizes ans the waiter saw and replaced them right away, we didn't even ask. Another waiter came up to us while we were eating and asked if everything was to our liking and telling us that the rest of our food will be out soon. It was really good and I will go again. read more

So glad we decided to try this place after passing it quite a few times. We stopped in around 7 pm on a Sunday. They quickly gave us a pitcher of cucumber-infused water. We ordered the pork soup dumplings ($10), shrimp and pork dumplings ($12), scallion pancake ($8), sour and spicy cold noodles with beef ($13), pork chop over rice ($13), yibin noodles ($11), and pan-fried pork buns ($10). The most memorable dishes were the sour and spicy cold noodles with beef and yibin noodles. The other dishes were good, but these had great flavor and were the favorites among the table! Attentive staff, plenty of tables, clean and spacious. Parking right out front. Would recommend this place! read more
