I had Chinese food all over the world including China. We stayed at kids house and order food delivered. Wonton soup was overcooked and was extremely salty. To the point we put it in a garbage. Pork ribs were swimming in sugar syrup that was even started crystallized. Have to give them credit it was the worst food I've had.

This place is a hidden GEM! Super delicious fresh hand made noodles. Food like as if I was in Hong Kong. Super flavorful and authentic! Loved their braised beef noodle soup 10/10!

Oh man oh man! If you want a taste of China or (Chinatown-Bellaire) in the Spring area then I highly recommend this restaurant to help you feel like you have been teleported to China. When I crave authentic Chinese I usually travel to Bellaire but it's a commute that I'm not always willing to take. The Duck Bao reminded me of an amazing one I had in NYC's Chinatown that I fell in love with. The bread to meat ratio was perfect and the duck was perfectly seasoned and did not need anything added. The waiter recommended the hot oil spill noodles (which are hand pulled) and they surprisingly packed a lot of flavor (only bc I based it on appearance at first). The beef ramen was beyond amazing and the beef itself was tender, moist, and melt in your mouth. Lastly the steamed pork scallion bao was pure perfection. I definitely will be back soon. Don't let the outside or interior count you out. Let the food speak for itself.

So, picture this: It's a wild Saturday night, and after surviving what can only be described as an action-packed afternoon, the fam and I decided to embark on a culinary adventure. The mission? Chinese takeout from an uncharted restaurant territory, a place where no noodle has gone before in our household. Spoiler alert: Maybe we should've asked for recommendations or consulted a fortune cookie, because what unfolded was a culinary catastrophe of epic proportions!Now, let me preface this by saying, "With all due respect, Noodle Kitchen, this was NOT the noodle party we were expecting." We ordered an ensemble cast featuring Long Bao Dumplings (Pork), Beef Fried Noodle, Soup Dumplings, and Orange Chicken. But alas, it was a performance that left us with more disappointment than a failed magic trick.The Orange Chicken tried its best to salvage the evening, earning the title of "best of the bunch" by default. However, even this noble dish couldn't escape the clutches of culinary chaos. The crispy bits were staging a mutiny, abandoning ship faster than you can say "chopsticks," and the chicken pieces had a peculiar chewiness that left us questioning if we were dining on poultry or some mysterious hybrid. The meat was so white that the jury's still out on whether it was real chicken breast or a clever disguise of minced-up poultry with a breadcrumb coating. Oh, and did I mention the unexpected hickory-flavored encore? Because apparently, our Orange Chicken decided to put on a smoky show on the backend. A taste adventure, to say the least, scoring a 3.8 out of 5 on the "What did I just eat?" scale.Now, let's talk about the Beef Fried Noodle, or as I like to call it, the BFN - Big Food Nope. One bite into this dish, and it felt like I was chewing on culinary disappointment. It's as if the chef got carried away with the seasoning, sprinkling it on like confetti at the end and forgetting to let it mingle with the rest of the ingredients. Gritty, dry, and a beef cameo that was as bland as a high school graduation speech - not my idea of a flavor party.The Bao Dumplings and I decided to keep a safe distance from each other, judging by the fam's reaction. I mean, if a picture is worth a thousand words, their expressions were a Shakespearean tragedy.In conclusion, Noodle Kitchen, you've earned a one-way ticket to the "DO NOT EAT" list for 2024. May your culinary adventures be more delightful than mine. STAY FED, my friends!We know food! Check out all our culinary adventures and more on IG at colefamilyvalues

Edited and updated As of 1/15/24Came a second time to give it a another chanceGrateful that they were open on MLK but I felt they were still short handedI'm enclosing the three items they delivered cold to our table. They tried to reward the tonkotsu but it just didn't sit right.

One of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in North Houston. The xiao long bao truly impressed me, very generous with the meat filling and soup... delicious! We were given orange chicken on accident but we ended up still enjoying it! Very crispy and good balance of batter and chicken. The sauce wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and had a nice citrusy tang to it. I forgot to take a picture of the beef noodle soup but that was delicious as well. There was a good amount of noodles and beef, and the broth was spicy and savory. I'm so glad this place is near my work because I will definitely be coming back to try more!

Small, clean and authentic Chinese noodle house with freshly made noodles. Service is decent although spotty at times and I'm not crazy about the tip suggestions of 20, 22 and 25% (just pay your staff/family livable wages), however, the food was very good.We started with 2 orders of the soup dumplings; one crab and one pork. They came out pretty quickly and were very good. The dumpling itself was tender and hot, but held together well enough to contain an ample amount of soup and meat. I could probably eat 4-5 orders of these on my own, they're so good and go down so easily.My next favorite dish was the hot oil spill noodles. Big, fat, thicc house made noodles nestled under sprouts, cilantro, some green bells, match stick carrots and broccoli, topped of course with lots of hot chili flake and oil. Tossed together it was a delicious, smoky, spicy, noodly mess of goodness. The only thing I would change is maybe adding some meat to it which I may ask for on the next one.Mongolian beef had generous portions of sweet and savory beef on top of fresh, chewy spaghetti noodles. Lastly was the spicy beef noodle soup which had a nice flavorful broth, generous amount of chili oil and spaghetti noodles.Lastly we had the chocolate bao for dessert. Came out piping hot, seems like a cinnamon sugar type of donut exterior with a hot, warm, chocolatey center (possibly Nutella). Very tasty treat.I would go back for dumplings and the hot oil spill noodles again and again.

I ordered through Uber eats so maybe in person the food is a bit different however the general Tsos chicken was very different from what I am used to. Their version of it simply isn't good. It's like string chicken if I were to describe it. I wasn't a fan of it at all. The beef braised soup was decent. The broth was good however the pics on Uber eats showed the beef to be bone in beef. This wasn't bone in. If it was bone in I suspect it would have been much better. Like I said this was ordered via Uber eats so I'll give them a shot if I am in the area and possibly update my review Solid 3 almost four starts. Once again stop in and give them a. Try you may love their style of general chicken.

My girlfriend invited me to lunch and I asked her to choose the place since she had an appointment at 3pm. She stumbled upon Noodle Kitchen while doing some research. I must say, this place is a hidden gem. I'm so glad she found Noodle Kitchen, it's so close to my home. If you are looking for typically Chinese food, like orange chicken and general tso chicken, I believe you are looking at the wrong place. Although they have those dishes here, they offer so much more! Plumped Xiao Long Bao and Peking duck! I find the xiao long bao were wrapped thinly (just how I like them) and filled with soup. The Peking duck comes in half or whole order and they do not offer the buns, instead they offered the thin pancakes to wrap the Peking duck. Save you a little bit of carbs! The restaurant was quiet with Chinese melodies songs. Clean and quick service. Spoke to the young waiter and he stated they have been open two years. This place is authentic Chinese cuisine! I definitely come back, especially for more XLB!
