YU Noodles

Finally! NE Columbia desperately needs good restaurants and this fits that description. Food is great, prices reasonable, service exceptional. Place is very small and don't expect a lot of ambiance. Hoping they may enlarge.Would love to see alcohol added.

My wife and I went here for the first time today. All tables were empty at 12:15 and after we were seated I think they had three other tables with customers. Waiter was quick to take our order and we just had a water and hot green tea for drinks. I ordered N3(Sichuan beef noodles soup) and my wife ordered N6 (Noodles with scallion oil and chicken). We also ordered an appetizer of the chicken wings (6). They come in spicy garlic or lemon pepper. We chose the lemon pepper. The wings were crisp and loaded with lemon pepper. So much that it was hard to even eat them. I love wings but these were so overpowered that my wife took one bite and that was enough. I scraped off as much as I could, but would not order them again.My wife's dish was not very good. He said it was white meat but it was hard to see any chicken at all. They were very very small cubes of chicken (from what she saw). I did see one cube of chicken and it looked dark to me. She ate about 1/8 of her meal. My Sichuan beef was just okay. The beef broth had a little bit of a spice after taste that was ok. The noodles are hard to eat because they are so long. Once you get the hang of pulling them up and biting them in half it starts to work! The beef? I'd read other reviews saying the beef was not tender and they couldn't chew it. My beef was chewable and not like rubber, but I must say that any of the pieces that had fat on it were pretty much unchewable and I had to put them aside into a small bowl next to me. The fat really messed it up for me. Total bill without tip was $40.70. I don't think we'll be returning.

YU Noodles is officially my favorite noodle spot in NE Columbia. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The location has just enough seating and I am personally a fan of small intimate settings. Let's talk about the food! The shrimp and pork soup noodles were absolutely delicious. The dumpling wrapper was just sturdy enough to hold everything in there without being overly chewy. The broth and the pork and shrimp meatball in the soup dumpling was light and flavorful. The star of the show for me was the Chongqing Noodles. This broth packed some amazing flavor! The noodles had the perfect chew to them. The egg, bok choy and minced veggies were the perfect accompaniment to this broth and noodles. I could do without the peanuts but that's just my preference.Can't wait to come back and try some different soup dumplings as well as their dim sum options.

First time at a Ramen restaurants. We wasn't sure what to get, asked the server for recommendations and he did amazing. The wait was very short, food came out hot and freash. Flavors was amazing. Very small and intricate. The sichaun beef noodles was delicious. I recommend adding chilli sauce, soy and vinegar for added flavors. The pan frie chive and pork dumplings delicious and honey wings. Ambiance was great. My food was so good I returned for dinner. Seaweed salad , peppercorn spicy chicken and scallion pancake. Must try i will defend be back when I return.

I've heard a lot of good things about this place so the expectation was pretty high but it was just okay to me. I ordered the Sichaun Beef Noodle soup and the Garlic Cucumbers. First, I don't like ciltantro at all and didn't know it was on both of the items I ordered. I picked it off the best I could and didn't hold that against them. The cucumber were good! The soup was just okay . The broth wasn't bad but something was missing in my opinion. The lady that helped me order was very friendly! I'm not against going again to try out some other items .

Omg, this place is amazing!! Food so good, amazing service, super friendly people who work there. Not sure if it's a family or not but either way, they are super nice. Cute little place to!! Highly recommend!!

Visiting SC for the week, a little colder than the last time I was here with my daughter. We knew we had to get something that would hit the spot. We walked in and were greeted and took the table by the window. We ordered the wings, shrimp dumpling and scallion pancakes for appetizer. Two seafood soups and a beef soup was hot, perfect spice and great for the weather. The spot was pretty busy with take outs coming and going, but everyone was given the same service. We were repeatedly checked in on, and the even drew the blinds down to make sure we were okay. Usual banter in the seating area but definitely a welcoming and comfortable vibe.

We had soup dumplings, pork buns, cucumber salad, sticky rice and it was all amazing!

Customer service was amazing! Our waitress was very sweet & very patient. Food was delicious! The spicy garlic wings were amazingggg! The seafood noodles were good but the Sichuan beef noodles were top tier! I will be back! 10/10

Finally we have great fresh dim sums dumplings in our town. Great service. And sharing on what the different kind of their handmade noodles Thank you
