Walala Asian Noodle House

A true hidden gen I nOrlando! Let me tell you my gf saw this place on the Orlando Asian Foodies page on Facebook. She's part Vietnamese so the idea of homemade pulled noodle begged her to go. We stopped in around 100 on a Friday. This place DID NOT dissappoint. It's very unassuming sitting in the Asian area of West Colonial Avenue. The food. Was phenomenal. She ordered a spicy short rib noodle dish and I ordered the beef shank and lamb skewer noodle dish. We also ordered the dumpling combo. The dishes were fresh and vibrant with flavor. The short rib was so tender. My dish almost had the Pho feel. The handmade noodles were amazing. One cool thing about this place is that YOU CAN GET REFILLS ON NOODLES! the dumplings were amazing. They were full of chicken, pork and shrimp. My favorite part of the meal was the spicy lamb skewer! Oh my gosh!!! You could taste the toasted cumin and it was so buttery.The service was amazing!! I had the rose lemonade. Overall live this place. The price point is kind of high but it's worth every penny!!! Get here NOW!

This was our first time experiencing Walala and knew we had to get there early! Saturday, 12:05AM and the place was already 50% full! We were seated quickly, I instantly joined their rewards program, and the three of us ordered what we hoped would look like the photos in the menus. They did NOT DISAPPOINT! The flavors of the soup, the textures of the noodles, the spices, SO. GOOD!The place is totally cute inside, room for plenty of people, but it can fill up quickly and we witnessed lines form a few times.Two of us got a refill on our noodles, and it was well worth the wait (which wasn't that long at all for pulled noodles!).Can't wait to go there again and order different dishes. If you have the chance to dine here, please do, you won't regret it!

My son asked us out for lunch and this is the best spot! Why I say? Because of the fresh ingredients, noodles and dumplings are hand made - in house! It doesn't get better than this! I'm Asian from the west coast and grew up eating Chinese food. I even traveled to NYC many times eating in Flushing and this is the spot! There's not a lot of authentic Chinese food in the greater Orlando area! But this is the spot! Food was amazing - 10 out of 10! Service was amazing! Our waiter let us know before hand of the 30 minute wait for noodle preparation but our food actually arrived faster than that! The ambiance was very pleasant, decor was very inspiring and the music was just pleasant! Looking for authentic Chinese noodle soup and hand made dumplings, you need to stop by here! Bring the whole family because they have large table seating in the rear!

Hand pulled noodles are always a yes for me! So glad we can add another spot for one. The texture is amazing and has that perfect chew. Was also cool seeing the talented cooks making them right in front of you!I opted for the beef soup and it was seasoned deliciously. It reminded me of bun bo hue. Their chili oil is amazing. I do wish the broth was more temperature hot as well as an option for spicy mala tingling hot. I am not sure if it's permanent but they are using the adjacent space previously occupied by Chili Star for overflow seating. Service was a bit spotty as I think they still employed the same amount of staff despite the additional seating.The handmade boiled dumplings are worth returning for alone!

Chinatown is on fire lately, just like me after I after order something spicy here. But for real, we got the Spicy Sliced Beef Shank $17 and it spiced up my entire life. I considered moving to Alaska to cool down. It was delicious tho and if you're up for it I highly recommend, plus it's big enough to share for 2.We also got the gyoza app and it was so fresh, the wrapper was tender and the filling was well seasoned and juicy.Run out of noodles? No worries, they will refill on request for Free99. Service was a little slow, but it was a packed Saturday (for good reason) so it was understandable.

I heard about this place and finally was able see what the hype of the had pulled noodles is all about.Sat at the bar and watched the noodles made from dough to being hand pulled to strings of noodles.Ordered the ramen which was delicious and spiced right.service was fast.

All you can noodle!!WhatI got the traditional beef hand pulled noodle combo spicy. Presentation was not top priority.. ha so it means it's good. The noodles were good, they were cooked a little too chewy for me, but non the less good. So good I got extra, which were free!! This is quite impressive for being freshly pulled! The beef slices were okay, I thought it was thicker and more tender, did not look like the photos in the menu book. I got the spicy and it was okay, not as spicy for me. Not sure if it is because I was busy but the noodle can take a bit before it arrivesEnvironmentLocated in the Chinatown plaza off 50 in the same plaza as Enron market. There is plenty of parking available. The inside could get quite packed pretty quickly. I was with a party of 5 and they stuck us on a table with just adding a side chair, which may be because one of the party was a kid. The mood inside is more casual vibes. Niceness of the staff You know how it is at the Asian restaurants. These servers are very effective, you can call on any of the servers and they can assist you. I doubt they pay much attention to details but I asked for the noodles to be cooked a bit softer and they ignored it.DollarIt was expensive for noodles I thought, but I guess it assumes the extra noodles. It was $18.Yes/No?Yes, sure, slurp away. Great first experience

5 stars for our first visit! We have been meaning to try Walala for some time, but you really have to be in the mood for such a heavy meal.We visited on a Saturday for lunch, close to 1pm. It was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table right away. Since the bowl looked pretty big we opted to share one noodle dish and started with the fried dumplings for $7.95. These were not your average restaurant dumplings, super fresh and I loved how much meat there was with the crispy bottom!For our noodle dish we tried the crispy spicy beef shank, $16.95. It's definitely spicy if you think it won't be and I loved how fresh the noodles tasted, along with the onion, cilantro and garlic. They will give you more noodles if you need.Service was nice but it does get a little crazy when it's fully seated. If you're looking for some fresh noodles you can taste, this place is a definite MUST!

Rare Authentic Restaurant #83 - Chinese Hand Pull Noodles Great hand pull noodle place. I have order a hand pull noodle dish. The chef demonstrates the pull noodle skill. It is intriguing. It changes from a dough to thin noodles. I got the classic noodle soup with slice beef shank with grill lamb skewers combo. The noodle is very delicious. The beef shank accompaniment well. I think the meat is a bit thin slices. The large lamb skew is delicious. My wife got the short rib noodle. That also a good dish. We added pan fried pork steam bun. They indicated this is their best shop item. I feel they are ok. We also got the mango, pamelo sago. I like this drink.

I was unprepared for how exceptional these noodles were gonna be. I ordered for takeout. I ordered the house stirfry noodles. The wait time was kind of long so be prepared to wait. I got there right as they opened and there were only a few other people there but I still waited a good 30 minutes for my to go order. And while I was waiting the entire place filled up to capacity. I got my noodles ran some errands and then went home to eat them reheated. I honestly don't know what I was expecting, but I was completely blown away by how delicious these noodles were. The texture and the flavor were unlike anything else I've had. I definitely plan on going back again and trying their soups.
