Noodles & Dumplings Time

My original plan was to come here with my family and I would pickup something else for me later as I am trying to stay low carb.That changed very quickly after I walked in. The first thing that stands out is the authenticity of this place it has the same kind of vibe that you might find in Hong Kong except that there is more space between the tables and it is quieter.The Mongolian Beef was very low carb (probably keto) if you request no rice (it comes on the side anyway). I asked for it very spicy and it was fantastic - it made my nose run a bit. Very, very tasty.My wife was hesitant to try the Orange Chicken as she has tried it in 3 different places that let her down. She decided to give it one more try and found what she had been looking for - very orangey with orange peels in the dish. Very well executed.The dumplings- both steamed and fried were met with applause- my wife expressed how happy she was that this place was here. She and my granddaughter daughter tried the Sam Sun dumplings (fried) and the Colorful Combo dumplings (steamed). At a table next to me a Mom was trying to convince her son to order some dumplings, but he was skeptical. I showed him our Colorful Combo and his eyes got wide and he decisively proclaimed "I want that!".The other thing I wanted to comment on was the outstanding staff. Very friendly and attentive. When my granddaughter got fidgety- she was supplied with some dumplings dough so she could practice making dumplings.We finished with some Jasmine tea - an excellent meal and a good time.This place is a hidden gem and one of the best Chinese restaurants around - and it is very affordable.Highly recommended.

When they first opened, we were regulars, but after our last four visits in a row, we've officially called it quits. Each visit has somehow gotten worse, and while we kept hoping things would turn around, they just... haven't.Our last meal was: colorful combo dumplings, sweet and sour chicken, and fried shrimp noodles. Sounds delicious, right? Too bad we didn't enjoy it -- we threw most of it in the trash. The colorful dumplings should have been beef, chicken and vegetable. They all had the same mushy appearance and no flavor (no obvious differences). As for the chicken, while you can't always tell if a restaurant is serving frozen meat just by looking at it, the texture and batter (and sauce) were definitely not what it used to be--something is off.We thought if we tried something completely different than our usual order.. maybe we could remain loyal customers. We ordered the fried noodles with shrimp... and let's just say it was our last. The ginger was so overpowering! It was awful. They need to go back to the quality of food when they first opened. Eating out is too expensive and there's too much competition in this area to settle for eating at Noodles & Dumpling Time.

We recently ordered pickup from Noodles and Dumpling Time in Allen and overall had a positive experience. We got the chicken noodles (similar to lo mein), steamed dumplings, and the curry chicken noodles (lo mein with curry sauce). The food was good and met our expectations, though the noodles were a bit greasy for our taste. Next time will just order the dumplings. the steam dumplings were very fresh and delicious would order a plethora of those.One highlight was their smooth online ordering system, which made placing and paying for our order quick and convenient. Pickup was efficient, and they got our order correct the first time--always a plus!If you're looking for quick and tasty noodles and dumplings, this spot is worth checking out.

Finally! Authentic Chinese food in this area! We started with cucumber salad app and boy it was so refreshing. I love their take on this small dish. The cilantro and lightly sprinkled red onions were a nice touch! We ordered a the popcorn chicken (Szechuan) and it was a mountain of delicious crispy morsels with a little heat! Comes with a little bowl of rice which was perfect to pair with this dish. Of course we needed to get pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings... the crackly crisp that comes from the bottom of the pan.. we were squealing with delight! The filling was savory and very flavorful. If you dip it in the chili oil, brings the flavor to yet another level. Plus the dumplings are beautifully wrapped and cute little bundles. (Look like little bok choy!) Overall we left with full bellies and will be back for sure to try the noodle dishes.

Food was delicious and the portion sizes are big, definitely will be back to try the Szechuan Fish/Tofu and dumplings. Noodles were very good, soup dumpling a little too thick.

Giving this spot 3.8 stars! Soup dumplings are big and juicy, not the flavor we were expecting but it could have been for the pork ones only. It had a very strong cardamom or star anise flavor. We couldn't get past it.. The meat inside was nice and tender though. Moving on to the stir fried noodles, oh my gosh I could not stop eating it. This dish was bomb, all the meats and seafood we got with it was tender and they were big pieces. Our Favorite dish out of everything.The shrimp dumplings were huge and full of big pieces of shrimp, flavor was eh but good amount of protein.The only thing we were pretty sad about was the stir fried green beans. FYI It is covered with the mouth numbing Sichuan peppers, so it is super spicy. No where on the menu did it say that, at least the in the English portion. More than half the table couldn't eat it AT ALL. So just a PSA to the owners, please disclose this on your menu. The staff was sweet and super family friendly, they had separate bowls and plates and utensils for children! We thought that was adorable. I would definitely try this spot one more time before taking it out of my list.

The food is amazing! I've went two times so far and never disappointed, the costumer service can improve but the food quality is on top

We loved this place. Kinda has an upscale hole in the wall vibe. We didn't get mains because there was so much other stuff we wanted to try. Shrimp tempura was addictive! Fried cheese bao so good! We also tried the beef pan fried dumplings, soup dumplings, and beed pan fried bao. I wanted to go back the next day. So freaking good! Staff were so nice and the speed was insane! They so clearly communicate that they make things fresh so some time is needed but, even though we didn't wait at all, it would be worth the wait! Can't say enough good things!!!

Service was great. Food was great. Our waitress recommended the chive pancakes and I'm so glad she did. They were amazing. I got the curry rice noodles and my husband got Bao buns. We both loved what we got. Will definitely go back.

This place is amazing! The staff was wonderful and welcoming. We had my 4 yr old son with us and our waitress made sure he was happy by giving him his own kiddie plate and bowls. The food..... ohhhh the flavors! My husband and I loved all the flavors! We ordered 4 different items to share to get a taste of a few things and we will definitely be back!!!
