Noodle Works

Soup had fresh noodles and the taste was on point. Wontons delicious. The space was small but not cramped. Fast and friendly service. The menu had a good selection and I will go back to sample more items!In a nice strip mall that has other interesting shops to explore.

A hidden little gem in the heights with the best bao buns you'll find! We found Noodle Works looking for a place that served specifically bao bind. Noodle Works is a cute little restaurant tucked into a strip mall. It's unassuming but to my surprise, one of the best dining experiences we've had. The menu was varied so we tried several dishes. Service was super friendly and quick with all our food fresh and hot with regular checkins by all of the staff. The spicy edamame was a great start with a couple fried rice entrees and a few rounds of pan fried bao buns, all to share. Everyone loved it! So, even though it's basically on the other side of town from where I live, I get back there every so often because there's not a better place I've found.

We put in a large order of won ton soup, steamed dumplings, orange chicken, vegetable fried rice, and more. I added vegetable low mein. I was surprised to find a large knot of mushy noodles, coagulated together with 3 bok choi leaves, and some deep fried tofu on top. I had to add my own soy sauce on top when I got home. And I needed a butter knife to cut up the coagulated noodles into squares to eat. Such a bizarre low mein. The restaurant was conveniently located next door to the nail salon we were getting a pedicure, and we collected our to go order when done. We did not have to wait too long then for our to go order to be ready.

Authentic and extremely delicious! I go out of my way to use Uber Eats if we haven't stopped during our normal weekend errands. The noodles are made fresh and you can tell that there is a huge difference. Their braised beef noodle soup travels well (in reference to delivery) and so do their steamed dumplings. When we go in person, we try to order something new and we have always enjoyed the food. The one thing we did not like was the fried dumplings/pot stickers. Service is always fast and they aim to please. It's not quite a hole in the wall or a dive, but it's a simple place but always delicious. If you haven't tried them, please do! If you don't live nearby, just keep that in mind when you order meaning don't get anything fried or that doesn't travel well depending on delivery time. In person- try it all!

I know, I know. Can't expect much when searching for Asian food in high desert. Decided to try this place on 6.16.23 (sorry forgot to post) as it had a few dishes like XLB, Char siu bao & oodles of noodles. Unfortunately, not very good IMHO. Bao looked & tasted like the frozen ones from Asian stores. Was hoping that it was a actually made in house as they kitchen staff are Asian. Servers were great. Friendly and engaging. What we ordered: XLB, Char siu bao, pan fried dumplings and beef broccoli. If you know me, XLB is always on my radar and Din Tai Fung (and SF dim sum eateries) is my standard. Unfortunately, Noodle Works missed the mark. The wrappers were especially thick on top and and almost impossible to bite the top off. Yuckos, but I actually bit off the top & spitted it into my paper napkin. Dumplings also had a thick "skin" and were heavy & pasty. If noodles is part of your restaurant name, it should be at least better than noodle offerings at local Asian restaurants. Hope this visit was an off day, but un-bookmarking on Yelp. Will continue my search.

Food was literally amazing. I have the house made noodles with sesame chicken. Service was friendly and fast. Great and clean restaurant.

Food is great. Tasty. Prices are high though. Service can be slow. Convenient locationZ

This place was surprisingly dissatisfying since I was looking forward to trying the entrees based on the 4-5 reviews. The noodles were soggy and so was the rice. The fried rice stands i appearance but the flavor was missing. The sesame chicken and the orange chicken was also soggy. It might have been the case since it was towards the end of the day and their quality declines at the end of the day but for soggy food the price was not worth it. the place overall is quite cozy and inviting to the eye of the observer. The place is clean and they do have restrooms for the guests. Service was descent and took about 15-20 minutes to prepare the food.

I have eaten here once and tried twice more without success. The waiters the second and third tines were just dimly aware of their own very existence much less able to take a customer order. The last time,, even when I pointed to the picture of the dish, and saying "I want this" the guy couldn't grasp the concept. I then said "Ok never mind, I want dish number such and such" it was unavailable he said. So I tried something else, and after a moment of confusion he said that was also out. I just looked up and stared at him for a few long moments while he looked back at me confused, and I just stood up and walked out. That happened twice in a row with two different waiters. You expect that in Santa Fe but expect better in ABQ. I mentioned this to the friend who told me about this place and he laughed and told me "No you just walk up to counter and tell them what you want and they'll fix you up." Whatever.

We were hungry for dim sum and noodles, and Noodle Works popped up on Yelp with very good reviews. I was interested to try the fresh noodles made in house, and there is a huge difference provided by freshly made noodles. We tried the Youpo noodles, char siu bao (bbq pork filled pockets of bao), xiao long bao (bao filled with broth and meat, pan fried pork dumplings and edamame. Everything was so good that we almost finished everything. They also offer several types of beer, wine and sake. The service was very friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is clean with a spare interior. It seems there are specials during the week, but we were there on a weekend. I loved this place, and I'll definitely return to try some other items from the extensive menu.
