Came here for lunch with a friend on a weekend. We ate family style and ordered the scallion pancakes, the spicy sesame paste tofu, the spicy oil wonton pork, the chive and pork dumplings and the sesame balls (filled with red bean paste). Total (not including tip) came out to approximately $49. What's Hot - Menu. Excellent. It's also written in Chinese in addition to English. For those of us familiar with traditional ethnic Chinese food, a menu written in Chinese is a good sign. They have traditional Taiwanese and Chinese food like scallion pancakes, sesame balls, beef noodle soup, soup dumplings, etc... Very good variety and there appears to be something for everyone, possibly with the exception of vegan dishes.. - Quality. Pretty good. Their scallion pancake was soft, not too oily, and not too salty. I prefer the scallion pancake to have been a bit more thick and flaky, but that's my personal preference. To be fair, still delicious. Their chive and pork dumplings definitely had a delicious chive flavor. Substantial and the wrapper was not too thick. Their spicy sesame paste tofu had a good flavor and substantive. The chili oil wontons were not too spicy and had a good flavor. Again, my personal preference would have been for the dumplings to have been more substantive, but still pretty decent. - Service. Pretty good. It appears most, if not all their staffers, speak Chinese (Mandarin), which was also helpful, because I specifically ordered in Chinese. I asked them about the spice level, because I wanted to ensure it would not be too spicy for my friend. - Price. Pretty good value for menu and portions. - Location. It's pretty easy to find. Also within convenient walking distance to the Silver Spring metro. The inside space is pretty good. Tables can seat a minimum of 2, all the way up to 8. What's Not - Quality. The sesame balls are smaller than I expected. They're the rough approximation of a ping pong ball, maybe smaller. I was disappointed, because I like sesame balls that are substantial. - Service. I specifically asked for soup spoons, because we were eating dumplings. Instead, they gave me regular spoons. Not all the dishes come out in the order you hope. For example, main dishes may come out before the appetizers. This is going to be dependent on your personal preference. - Parking. There is parking near the restaurant, but it's going to be dependent on the day and time. Final Answer Worth coming back.
Came for a show at the Fillmore and decided to try this place based on reviews and pictures. I am so happy we stopped here. The food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend getting a bunch of items and eating family style. The service was very nice as well. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. I only wish we had this place in Richmond because I would be coming all the time.
Despite the excellent reviews here, we were rather disappointed in the food. The options are quite vast, but the only food option we rated above a 3/5 was the seafood shumai. The noodle soups were on the saltier side with a bit of bitterness that I wasn't used to in noodle soups. The duck over rice was flavorful, but I personally wish it was also deboned, like the duck noodle soup was.
On a mild fall evening, we stumbled upon Yu Noodles in Silver Spring and stopped in for a quick bite. The menu is eclectic, not your typical noodle dishes or Chinese (American) dishes - this place has authentic stuff. Shout out for the sesame spicy tofu - a dish of cold spicy sauce over a solid brick of soft tofu. This is something that isn't available most places, and for this alone, I'll be coming back often. The sweet and sour shrimp appetizer also stands out because of the grilled (not fried) shrimp. The dumplings and black rice/coconut milk/mango dessert also hit the spot. It was only after we left that I realized we didn't order any noodle dishes. All the more reason to stop back ASAP! I highly recommend Yu Noodle, and if you haven't tried it, you're missing out!
Found this while in town for work and my coworkers needed something close to our hotel and delicious - and Yu Noodles fit the bill! It was a bit of a chilly night, so getting some warm broth and noodles was exactly what we needed. We shared the traditional soup dumplings and got the bao buns. The soup dumplings were top tier - truly so flavorful and fun! The bao buns were okay - not my favorite in terms of the filling, but they were still nice to try. We all tried different main dishes and (I definitely don't remember what was what) but we all enjoyed the different offerings. Service was quick and we are glad we got there when we did, as it was quickly filling up with a short wait - as it is a smaller location.
Loved this menu it was hard to choose. The Sichuan beef noodles were flavorful and filling. There was a pickled veggie element in there that was slight but added texture and tang. It was perfect to have the smashed cucumber peanut on the side for texture and to take a break from the hot noodles. Fast service and the cucumber water was refreshing.
Came here for weekend lunch and food was decent. This restaurant also has 4 other locations in the DMV area. We ordered you tiao (Chinese fried breadsticks), steamed veggie buns, sticky rice and yibin spicy dry noodles. I didn't eat any of the Chinese fried breadstick but my dining companion enjoyed them. They were not made in house, and likely mass produced. Steamed veggie buns were good, decent amount of filling. I also enjoyed the sticky rice and the dry spicy noodles tasted good, but a tad bit spicier than I normally eat. Overall, a good weekend lunch and with tax and tip, our meal came to $48. I'd come back if in the area.
I have been to the Yu Noodles in Rockville, but the ambiance in silver spring is way nicer. They have more seating and the decorating/setting is just nicer in general. The restaurant is located a street across from the major downtown silver spring center, and there's tons of parking options. My friend and I shared their soup dumplings, peanut noodles, and beef noodle soup. The soup dumplings were solid. There could be a little more soup in them, but the wrapping wasn't too thick and the meat was delicious. We both enjoyed our noodle dishes as well. I would like to try more of their desserts, but I was already so full...so next time :)
The food here is all fine and well, but I'm here to tell you about the fried mochi with brown sugar. It's a unique dessert, very similar to the one I grew up eating (except filling is different and shape is different). It comes out hot, and the brown sugar filling is also liquid inside, so BE CAREFUL not to burn the inside of your mouth. It's sweet, it's soft, it's crunchy. Must get.
Great food and prompt. Food was ready in less than 20mins. Nice clean business and great staff. Got the Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup with shrimp. Containers are nice and big and they have the food separated from the soup portion which lets you put what you want.
One of my friends and I live in downtown silver spring and wanted to check out this local spot. I love it here! Quaint and very cute and comfortable space! Customer service was great and they even provided us some recommendations! I got the rainbow soup dumplings which were delicious (like little pockets of soup and meat, yum!) and seafood noodles which was absolutely delicious. Great place to check out and a parking garage right across the street so very convenient for those that would be driving in!
Fantastic bang for your buck, and amazing food too! Ambiance and Service also great We got the scallion pancakes, rainbow soup dumplings, steamed pork dumplings and the N7 and N1 noodles dishes. It was all amazing and so flavorful. I definitely want to get one of the broth based noodle dishes next time, because I loved my wife's dish. Everything was very fresh and I know for certain that if we'd ended up in the condos in the building above them, we'd have come by at least bi-weekly. I can see us being regulars here. I'm just really stingy with my 5 stars.
Noodles are definitely better than theIr soup dumplings. Good portions too. Service was fast on a Saturday noon. Only two tables were occupied. Small & cozy space for small groups of gatherings.
We came in for lunch yesterday. Served was super helpful with recommendations! The rainbow soup dumplings was 2 of each of their soup dumplings which were all amazing! We also loved the cucumber in garlic sauce. My friend loved the Chongqing noodles! They are a nice vegetarian option with a tasty sauce served with boiled peanuts and a fried egg. We also had the spicy oil wontons. They were very good although I did end up dabbing some of the oil off. Looking forward to coming back and trying other things!! read more

Great new addition to downtown Silver Spring! Excellent Chongqing style Chinese food in an area that has been sorely lacking in authentic Chinese food for a long time! Some highlights for me are the Sichuan beef noodles, spicy soup dumplings, chicken leg over rice w/egg and minced pork, and pan fried pork chive dumplings. Service was quick and friendly and the space is modern and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity. read more

This is the perfect noodle and dumpling spot. Nice varied menu, bright with large glass front allowing for natural light. Good atmosphere overall. I had the cucumber in garlic sauce w/ peanut. Perfect start! Healthy and delicious. I followed that with a large (huge!) flounder and fermented vegetable soup with rice noodles. Very hot (temp), very fresh and oh so comforting. I wanted to try the soup dumplings and steamed pork buns, both favorites of mine, but had no room! I'll be back...perhaps tomorrow! read more
Great find! The place is clean and service is good. We got the rainbow soup dumplings, which is a sampler of different kinds of soup dumplings. They were delicious! The skin of the dumplings held up nicely so they didn't break immediately when I picked them up. The soup flavor was good. I got the beef noodle soup, which I really enjoyed. The beef was thin cut, which I hadn't had in beef noodle soup before, but I liked it. The noodles had the right amount of chewiness. My husband got the N1 Chongqing noodles, which he really liked. The soup had a great spicy flavor. Total was $45 including tip, which isn't bad for 3 great dishes. We will be back! read more

A new Yu noodle chain just opened in Silver Spring Maryland within walking distance of my daughter's apartment complex. We got several dishes to sample including Crispy Fungus, Spicy Cucumber, Classic Chongquing noodle, Crispy pork chop, and all three deserts were all authentic and fantastic flavor profiles. read more

Bright, lovely restaurant, staff was so so nice, and the food, wow, all of the food was so amazing. Everything we ate (about half the menu) was delicious. All the dumplings were so fresh and flavorful, the flounder noodle soup was so interesting and tasty. The hot oil wontons are always a favorite. And there are tons of vegetarian options! The pickled wood ear mushrooms were an unexpected highlight. A really affordable and delicious spot, can't recommend them enough! read more

I've been here multiple times and it's such a great spot! The ambience is very cozy with nice service without feeling overpriced / too fancy. The food is SO good, I've had their soup dumplings everytime and they are awesome. All the soups I've tried are great, especially the Szechuan beef soup and chicken leg soup. read more

I was in Silver Spring, Maryland on Saturday and decided to try Yu Noodles for dinner. The restaurant has recently opened and has a cute vibe. I had the Pan-Fried Chive & Pork Dumplings and Pan-Fried Pork Buns. The buns were my favorite of the two. Make sure you get them pan-fried. I was only able to eat two and brought the rest home. The next day, I put the leftover buns and dumplings in my air fryer, and they tasted as good as they did in the restaurant. read more

This is a casual restaurant that you can walk into to get a seat and I have no complaints about the service. I really enjoyed my meal here. I wasn't expecting much from the chicken leg soup but it was really good. The portion size is good for the price, the chicken is seasoned well, the broth isn't too salty and it came hot. I'd give it a 7.5/10. I would order it again. I didn't care for the shrimp dumplings and I wouldn't get it again I'd give it a 5/10. read more
