Five Grains Noodle House

I ordered fried rice and the rice was hard and the peas were dried out. It was a forgettable dish if not for the hard to chew rice and peas.I forgot what my wife ordered but she didn't like it. I thought it was fine except for what I think was mustard greens in the soup. My daughter's soup was good, but she thought the beef tasted funny. I thought it was fine but all the pieces had visible fatty chunks on them. She ordered without vegetables though.Other than my wife and daughter's displeasure, I didn't think their dishes were bad. I thought the noodles were good.But that fried rice... eh.

Really happy to find a soup location with a lot of variety. Staff were very friendly and happy to give recommendations. Started with the kimchi, smashed cucumbers and spring rolls. Kimchi was soooo good. Perfect flavor to heat ratio. Smashed cucumbers needed a bit more flavor or to be marinated a little longer. But very fresh. Spring rolls were ok. Nothing special They recommended the fives grains soup with fish pieces. It was very good. Broth was flavorful, fish wasn't overcooked. My husband got the beef soup that was spicy. It had a lot of flavor, beef was a bit chewy but overall really good. Portions are big and could be split into two meals. Very nice location. Easy to get in and out.

Oh. My. Goodness. I can't believe this little place exists in Dayton OH right down from my house! Truly an incredible noodle experience. We had to google most things on the menu because of the language difference with the gentleman behind the counter, but I seriously think I'd be blown away with anything I ordered here. I saw so many photos of the pumpkin cakes that we had to try them. I've never had anything like them but they were delicious! The noodle soup portions were massive! Will be back regularly to try all the things!

Since it's new, I wanted to try it. Stopped in for carryout on my way home from work, did not call ahead. I ordered their five grain noodle soup having no idea what would be in it. The one thing I found a little offputting as a non-oriental person was that the menu gave very little detail about what was in each item.When I got home and opened it up, I enjoyed my meal. It was enough for a smallish meal and then a larger meal. The next day five grain noodle soup had sliced green onions in it. (I stirred it better) It had pieces of a white fish, and several things I wasn't exactly sure what they were, but it was mild and tasty .I will try it again when I am feeling adventurous and pick something else I would rate them at 3 1/2 stars, but since that is not an option I rounded up and that is just mostly because the menu is unclear .

Authentic Chinese noodles. My husband got the mala noodles and added beef. It was delicious but too spicy for me unless i had a cold. I got the shrimp, and it was also delicious. Neither had much meat, which is perfect for me. I gave my husband half my shrimp. His beef was small and tender, with no fat or surprises. Lots of noodles in both and the bowls are humongous but can have left today. The flavors of the broth were soooo good. Highly recommend. There is some seating inside. Definitely will return.

Usually when my sons volleyball team doesn't win; we go for sushi. He wasn't in the mood to go out, and asked for Kroger sushi. A plan was hatched to get him his sushi on the way home and then have a lunch date. After a little debate between Nanyea and Five Grains, we decided to try something new. I've been waiting for this and was very excited. The atmosphere is nice, clean and well maintained. You order at the counter and then they bring your food. I ordered the spicy soup with beef and the oyster pancake. My husband got the Five Graisn soup and friend fish appetizer. I think the fried fish was probably the best thing we ordered. The mala soup with beef had *some* spice, but was not what I wild consider spicy. It had a little of the numbing feeling from the peppercorns, but not much. I really enjoyed the texture of the noodles though, which is important with noodle soups. If you don't tolerate spice well, this isn't the choice for you. The oyster pancake was not what I expected. The person at the counter did warn us that it's pork and shrimp, which was fine. I just expected it to be more of a pancake, but it was more like a flat puffy egg roll that was battered. Definitely difficult to explain, but I took pictures. My husbands Five Grains soup was tasty, but not very flavorful. It has white fish which was good. Overall we enjoyed the food, but with so many other more flavorful options, I don't know if we'll return. Although, I've read that the cucumber salad and cold pork noodles are really good, so maybe we have to go and give those a try. I also had one of the drinks out of the cooler that was good. It was an orange peel and plum juice. I was very disappointed when I left it on the table when we left. I'd say it was a solid 3.5, but that's not an option. If a friend wanted to go, I wouldn't tell them no.

I am beyond excited!As a a New York City Chinatown transplant, diverse noodle soup options are....limited.First, do not expect another pho noodle shop. That is not the kind of noodle soup they serve. Second, their chicken soup, do not imagine chicken noodle (because we are Chinese variety).The chicken noodle was immensely rich in flavor. The noodles they use here are a perfect compliment for it. My husband loved it (and he is harder to please when it comes to Chinese cuisine) and my picky Americanized son ate it all and than drank the broth because it was so good.My spicy sour soup, was sooo good. I cant begin to describe the joy of the flavor... savory sour and tangy spice... it was great Looking for a different and yummy Chinese cuisine experience? This is it!

Did you ever check out a new place, full of all the hope and positive vibes in the world (or at least your corner of it?!?) and it just didn't live up to your expectations? Yep, that happened here to me on my first visit. I'll have to come back and re-order something more... exciting (?) than what I got, because I wasn't as "wowed" by what I ordered as I hoped to be. There's a lot to discover on their menu; prepare ahead like we DIDN'T... They'll try to steer you away from the HOT stuff, and it's my OWN fault for taking their advise and choosing a "safer" soup (5 grains noodle soup with chicken). We also ordered corn noodle and tomato noodle soups. Not bad at all, but not nearly as "amazing" as I (or my dining companions) would have hoped. Our sides of flavored smashed cucumbers (YUM), pumpkin cake (oddly mushy breaded/deep-fried zucchini, I believe...) and oyster pancakes (an interesting, eggroll-ish "turnovers") were ok, and all in all, it wasn't a BAD experience, I think I'll need to go back for another try, probably dining in vs take out...Prices are great, our take out orders were filled promptly and accurately, friendly/informative service, along with the cutest restaurant kiddos you'll ever meet. I'll be back for the HOT STUFF, 5 Grains!!

Great, traditional Chinese (not Americanized Chinese) food! I got the Noodle Soup with Beef Stew, a side of the Smashed Cucumbers, an order of pot stickers and a bottle of White Pear juice. Delicious!! This is part of a chain that has 4,000+ restaurants in China but only 2 in the US (other is in California.) You can tell the broth in the soup has been simmered for days. Highly recommend!

Flavorful, nutty soup broth, different grains of noodles, good portion size. It's been hard to find good Chinese restaurants around and this place does it for me.
