    Chicken soup dumplings
    Linda V.

    Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, this spot is a wonderful place for families and friends to sit down, relax, and enjoy meals that truly feel home-cooked. The staff was absolutely amazing warm, friendly, and offering top-tier hospitality that made me feel like I was a welcomed friend coming over for dinner. And the food... oh my goodness. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. My favorites were the wings and the shrimp shumai. The noodles had an excellent texture, and the broth was rich, robust, and incredibly comforting. I'll definitely be coming back, and I'll be recommending this place to anyone who asks for a great spot to eat.

    Service: I've been wanting to try Yu Noodles for a long time, and finally went when I had friends in town. We came on a Sunday afternoon and were the only ones in the restaurant, so we were seated and attended to immediately. The menu has lots of options with pictures which was very helpful since it was our first time trying many of the dishes. The waiter was also patient and helped us choose a few great options. Taste: We ordered the duck noodle soup, beef noodle soup, and seafood noodle soup, along with the spicy dumplings, spicy cucumber, and pan-fried dumplings. Everything was absolutely finger-licking delicious. The broths were rich and flavorful, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the dumplings were packed with taste. We were full and satisfied by the end. Ambiance: The restaurant is simple and casual, making it a comfortable spot for both big and small groups. It's not fancy, but it's clean, relaxed, and easy to enjoy a hearty meal in. Overall Review: Yu Noodles exceeded expectations. The food was outstanding, the service was quick, and the pricing was very reasonable -- we paid around $100 for five people. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it for anyone craving comforting, flavorful noodle dishes

    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 :)

    Fried mochi brown sugar - there's 5 but we already ate one when I remembered to take a pic

    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!

    Like other Asian restaurants in Silver Spring, YuNoodles is an OK Asian cuisine place that will satisfy your cravings if you do not want to go farther for a more authentic flavor. My partner and I went recently for lunch after a friend (whose recommendations I generally trust) recommended it. Overall, it's not bad, but having just recently lived in Japan where there is no dearth of good Chinese food, I found everything mediocre. The cucumber dishes for example, should be simple with maybe some soy and vinegar dressing, but they doused this dish in sesame sauce which makes it too sweet. My husband had some spicy beef noodle soup dish, which was OK, but overall I found the broth to be surprisingly bland. I ordered some dumplings in spicy sauce, which was probably the best dish, but also was a tad bit too salty. The service was decent though, prompt and friendly, overall it's worth a try if you're in the area, but there are better options if you're willing to go farther away. The tastes of the restaurant definitely cater to their clientele, who I assume do not know authentic Chinese food.

    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.

    Thai food is always so good and flavorful. I loved this little place in Takoma Park! Theres a tiny…read moreparking entrance straight off of Carrol that's free for an hour and then $4 an hour after (even if you're 5 min past!) so it's just better to do meter or come after 7p and the meters are free! It's also a short walk from Takoma Metro. Cute and casual place. I didn't need reservations on Friday night or Monday night coming around 6:30 or 7 PM. It's probably harder and bigger groups but if you're just coming in two or four or even six, it should be pretty manageable. My favorite here is the pad Thai. I get extra lime and the spicy tray. And it's one of the best pad Thais I've had. The drunken noodles was OK and the green curry was OK for me. Not bad but also not what I'd be returning for (I'm coming back for pad thai!) my husband loved the green curry though. Service is pleasant and nothing over the top and water is topped off timely manner. Absolutely no complaints. They have two single stall bathrooms and that's kept pretty clean. They're outside seating is for takeout so that's kind of pleasant if you wanna do takeout and just eat it outside.

    This is my favorite thai restaurant in the DC area. I've ordered a the sushi a few times and it was…read moregood. I mostly get the pad thai and pad see ew. Both are excellent. The takeaway is quick and efficient.
