Noodle Kitchen

I'm gonna start on a positive because I did really enjoy coming here for dinner because it was indeed worth it. However, there are some major things that all should be aware about as it does affect your dining experience. So starting out I did think it was a little weird that they are still advertising a "soft launch" as I feel like it's been open for a bit. Also, as another reviewer stated the crinkled white "hiring" sign isn't the best of looks. The inside is nice and very clean, but something as simple as music/radio or even a tv would take it out of the massage parlor vibe. It's limited on natural light so I think they need to pursue other options for ambiance. Service was fine we had no issues on that aspect, but there's no split between appetizers and the main dish. So it makes me wonder how are things being heated. We ordered cheese wontons and edamame and they were delicious, but didn't come out till we received our main courses. So timing needs to be majorly worked on. The food was really good, be my word of caution. Do NOT ORDER PAN FRIED. Another person notes the funnel cake flavor and they are completely right. It is the weirdest thing, but soy sauce can alleviate some of the sweetness. Your best bet however is just get dumplings, bao buns, etc steamed. You don't get that weird funnel cake flavor. The noodles however were DELICIOUS. Definitely hand made and very good. I had the beef noodle soup and it was good. The beef was lacking in consistency and a bit rubbery, but it didn't hinder the dish itself. However, it was very tomato heavy. Some items were a bit greasy, but not to a point that it fully affected my dining experience. The flavors are good, but I do feel there is much to be improved on. Simple little things that will definitely bring them to a 5 start restaurant if they are adjusted. It is worth checking out, and as long as you don't get anything pan fried you won't be disappointed.

We love their original location and were so excited that they have another location closer to us!We came here today with family and kids (decently loud bunch) and the servers were so kind efficient. The food came out crazy fast and it was all good!We got the 3 special ingredient dumplings - love that they came with the crispy edges! They were flavorful and had just the right chew to them.We got the dried fried green beans - just the right amount of spice and pucker on the skin. The crispy spicy fish filet was delicious - a lot of Szechuan spice and bell peppers. The chicken fried noodles were hand pulled and had a great flavor. I love how they put so much vegetable and slice it so thinly along with the meat.This is one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants we have in the area - please give them some love and try this place out. You won't be disappointed.

We went in on a busy night but were still seated immediately and were brought waters as we reviewed the extensive menu. Their dim sum style options were all hits, while the Japanese items were misses. That's not going to stop me from raving about the items I'll definitely be ordering again: chicken xiao long bao, four piece cha siu bao, scallion pancakes, and little piggy red bean buns (so cute!).

Next time I'll make sure I take pictures before everyone devours the food. If you're like me and had tried Atsumis (previous tenant) you might be skeptical about coming in and giving this place a try. Leave all your hesitation at the door and bring your appetite!We have tried the soup dumplings, hot oil spilled noodles, Mongolian beef, red dumplings, Peking duck and everything has been AMAZING! Is the service a little slow? Yes BUT the food more than makes up for that. If all you like is sweet and sour pork....this is probably not the place for you. Otherwise, I'll see you there!

My first time at the new location and it is definitely a different vibe since it appears they kept the decor from the last sushi place that occupied the place. However, it his certainly doesn't impact the quality of flavor of their offerings. All of the dumplings, bao, and dishes we tried were just as good as they were at the original!Our go to remain the soup dumplings and bbq bao. Make sure you give these a try. I went with a main dish I've had before, the spicy cube chicken. It was just as good as I remember. While we were always glad to make the trek to the original location, having this spot in our back yard will make it that much easier to get out noodle f

This place was great! All the items were made fresh and were delicious. Will definitely come back and try other items in the menu. The staff were very helpful since we couldn't decide on what to order.

Nice but not a fan. Service was absentFood was different and kind of blahYou could tell it had previously been a different restaurant.

Everything about this location was great.The interior was clean, orderly, and inviting. The staff working was efficient, nice, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. And the food itself was delicious. The scallion pancakes were borderline addictive, as were the cheese wontons. As a vegetarian I found there was a great variety of options in all areas of the menu--noodles, dumplings, and others. I also must mention how delicious the chocolate bao were: definitely a standout within the menu. Overall a wonderful experience. This location is definitely worth checking out!

Authentic Chinese restaurant in The Woodlands (there aren't many). Dumplings, Bao were tasty and flavorful. The wonton soup was tasty but a bit too salty.Service was friendly and food came quickly.

Super delicious food! I wanted noodles and dumplings and noodles and dumplings I got! We watched a chef make the dumplings fresh. Xiao Bao (soup dumplings) were amazing! Homemade noodle dishes were all amazing! Give it a try!
