MDM Noodles

This is one of my favorites places to eat.My usual order is the hot pot fish fillet and/or the garlic eggplant, with a side of white rice. Sometimes I get the tea egg and the hand-pulled noodle with veggies if eating with more than two people at the table. The portions are good, and the taste is amazing!There's some parking at the back or you can use street parking since it's in Brighton. The indoor setting is simple with contemporary pop music playing in the background.

Was I area and in mood for hand pulled noodles.Had the beef scallion noodles and 2 side pieces of lamb kebabs.Noodles in sauce were very good flavors. The beef was a little stringy and tough eating .The lamb kebabs were good but not lamb tasting .Service was quick, served warm water vs ice water ?1 paper napkin with fork or chip sticks. , no sauces If looking for service or ambiance, eat else where 13.95 for good portion of noodles, beef I hope wasn't intestinal beef as that is offered as a dish.

We've been trying different hand-pulled noodles places recently and this place is really good! Our favorites were the liang pi and the eggplant. Liang pi texture was so good. The eggplant had great wok-flavor. We also had the spicy boiled lamb hand-pulled noodle, which wasn't very spicy but had good cumin flavor. The hand-pulled noodle texture was pretty good, though we were full by the time this dish came because it took longer than the other dishes, so maybe I wasn't able to appreciate it fully. The portion sizes and price were excellent.Service was efficient and interior is very no-frills. The dishes are served in normal bowls/plates, but you eat from paper plates using disposable chopsticks which made the place seem even more casual. I was surprised they didn't just use all normal plates or all paper plates, like why both? Anyways, we liked the food -- will def be back!

Recently came back and so glad to be back! So hard to find dedicated free parking lot in the Brighton area, so I made sure to take photos of the small alleyway (easy to miss). So others know where to turn into the back of the building and find parking. Very friendly service as always. Ambiance is very traditional Chinese. Their menu option is somewhat limited, having dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, a few stir fry dishes, with spicy dry pot options.The price actually didn't increase that much since my last visit, considering inflation. It's definitely one of the more "affordable" place to dine out these days!Good indoor air quality. The CO2 jumped up to 1,000 ppm briefly, but quickly stabilized around 600 ppm. There were some people here for dine-in, and others for takeout. Delicious and authentic food, as always! Hope to be back again soon!

SO and I came here on a weeknight with a craving for noodles. As mentioned by other reviewers, there's a parking lot in the back that seems to be shared by multiple businesses. However it was completely full when we were there. We ended up just parking in some spots directly behind the restaurant (designated as spots for MDM).The restaurant itself is very no frills. It kind of felt like we were at a dining hall. We were given bottles of water and disposable plates and utensils (and yes the water was still free!). Food took maybe 10 to 15 minutes to come out.We got the following:Eggplant - came out HOT! As in temperature. It was very tasty and clearly was cooked to order in a hot wok. Would recommend. Note that this is not yu xiang qiezi but rather just sautéed eggplant with sauce. Beef scallion noodle - got this as it seemed to be one of their most popular dishes. I think it was decent. The flavor was good but the noodle texture was a bit soggy, I think from the sauce.Spicy boiled lamb hand pulled noodle - also a bit underwhelming. It wasn't that spicy. However the noodle texture was much better in this dish so out of the two, I preferred this one.Pork cabbage dumplings - I almost wonder if they gave us beef by accident because they didn't taste like pork lol. Aside from that, these were also super greasy, like a soup dumpling but instead of soup it was oil. Tbh we still finished all the food and I think there's potential for this place. I read a lot of positive reviews for the Mala pots so I'd try those next. Maybe soup noodles would be better than their dry noodles too.

This place is fresh and local to the Brighton Allston area. It's tucked away so don't blink...you'll miss it. I was a fan of their food but I wish I got what some of the experts ate. One guy was slurping his noodles so loud that others took notice. That's how good it is.

Where do I even start? This is probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to in Boston, which is saying a lot (because I've been to quite a few). My friends and I came by around noon on a Sunday - a decent number of tables filled, but still lots of seats available in their relatively spacious restaurant.Their speciality, it seems, are their traditional flat noodles, so we had an order of the beef scallion noodles and the spicy lamb hand-pulled noodles. Both were SO delicious - noodles perfectly chewy, the beef/lamb really juicy and in generous portions, and the respective sauces just phenomenal *chef's kiss*. Other than that, we had the sliced roast beef and an order of the beef dumplings to share. Both were really tasty, and I was pleasantly surprised with the roast beef - it was super tender and flavourful and came in a large portion size. One friend also ordered the spicy cumin lamb burger, which was pretty good, too. (They also have the DIY-type of mala spicy pot, but we weren't that interested this time - maybe on our next visit!)Price point was fantastic, especially for how much food we got - we were all full and even had some leftovers to take with us. If MDM was closer to where I lived (or slightly more convenient to get to with the T/bus), I'd honestly be here all the time. Can't wait for my next visit already!

The starches here are AMAZING: chewy, glutinous, satisfying and memorable. As a restaurant experience, though, don't bother dining in, unless you would like to eat off paper plates, be served bottled water, and have appetizers arrive after the mains, even when you ask for them to come first. The scrambled eggs and pulled noodles were tasty and savory, but short of balanced: it needed scallions, and something else to cut the richness. The dried fish hot pot was fresh and lightly crispy, but there was no dipping sauce, which would've added salt and flavor. The dumplings were a good version of something you've had before. I used their sauce for the fish. If you got takeout here, you'd have a good night.

MDM isn't a fancy place. They're a no frills restaurant that makes really delicious food. They have ample seating inside so there shouldn't be a huge wait. When I first came into the restaurant, I saw a lady make dumplings by hand near the kitchen so you know the dumplings are fresh. I came with my family and my parents are a tough critic so we ordered a couple different noodle dishes, dumplings, and fish.Of all the items, we loved the dumplings. They were so fresh and they were pretty big for the amount we paid for. The beef scallion hand pulled noodles were also a favorite of mine because the noodles were the perfect texture and the dish had a lot of flavors. Surprisingly, we also finished the whole pot of sichuan style fish fillet. It was a pretty large dish and the fish was incredible soft and flavorful.Overall, I would come back again if I'm in the area. There is a huge parking lot in the back of the restaurant so it makes traveling there very easy.

Wonton Soup was exactly what I needed: tasty but light and wholesome. Order was ready quickly!
