Chong Qing Noodle

Chong Qing Noodle's customer service is phenomenal. I went there alone for dinner, and the waiter was exceptionally friendly--ensuring everything I needed was taken care of. I ordered the ChongQing Noodle Pea Ground Pork Noodles, and it was absolutely delicious. Words can't fully express how much I loved this dish, but if you're ever unsure of what to order here, go for this one!The thin noodles had the perfect texture, and though I'm not typically a fan of peas, they added a nice layer of texture to every bite. The broth was bursting with umami flavor. The dish itself was perfect as is, but I love adding chili crisp oil to my meals, and it elevated the flavor even further.This restaurant is an easy 5/5 stars--I would highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic noodle dishes!

The chicken noodle soup with medium spice was mid. It was enjoyable and spicy, but I don't think it's something I would get again.I think next time I'm gonna have to try to pea and pork bowl with noodles.

Chong Qing Noodle opened where Duobao BBQ & Dumplings was. Infrastructure similar. Slight change of decor on wallsChong Qing is a municipality in Southwestern China. Hot Pots originated in this region.Offerings (Chong Qing): appetizers, small plates, won tons, noodle soups, Buns, drinks. Ordered by QR code. Spiciness can be customized. Bites: Chong Qing Pea & Ground Pork Noodle (16.99) medium spicy with peanuts.-ready in 5ish minutes. Single chef can cook egg noodles in a wire basket in boiling water while stir frying meats & veggies. Adding mala sauce for the finish. Mix then poured over al dente noods.-the mix of peanuts, corn, peas, bok choy, green onions, ground pork, noods bland as the mala & chili sauce spiciness overpowdered it. -while mala was felt locally in mouth, the chili sauce wasn't noticeable till the evening when i felt a burning sensation while taking care of business. *appears mala & chili sauce was mixed.-noodle portion double the usual. Makes the price worthy. Couldn't finish. Had leftovers for snack later. 4.5 stars

We find ourselves at this fairly sizable strip mall in Newark quite often, so we were surprised that we had not tried out Chong Qing yet despite the rave reviews. Walking in around 1pm on a Saturday, the place was surprisingly less than half full and had plenty of available seating. My wife ordered the ChongQing Noodle Pea Ground Pork Noodles at no spicy. And I opted for the Signature Braised Beef Noodles with a mild spiciness. When the bowls arrived, my "mild" bowl had a deep red broth. Not sure if they got my spice level mixed up, but the "mild" was mind numbingly hot. If that was the mild, I shudder to think what the actually spicy level is like. Despite the overpowering spiciness, both the noodles and beef were really good. And my wife really enjoyed her dish, which consisted of chickpeas and ground pork. The ChongQing Noodle Pea Ground Pork Noodles as it turns out is actually closer to a dry noodle dish, wish some wetness at the bottom.Looking forward to coming back here more often. But will definitely be going for the NO spiciness option next time!

Came here because a fellow foodie had highly recommended it. I was surprised to see it fairly empty on a Saturday night given the high ratings but went in anyway. Given that it was fairly empty, we were instructed to sit anywhere. The menu and ordering is done via a QR code which was both nice and annoying. It was nice because it showed all the ways each dish can be customized for spice level and type of noodle and toppings if applicable. However, the way the menu was set up was a little challenging to navigate because some dishes would be in multiple sections. After I placed the order, the staff double confirmed that it was ok to put peanuts in my food. We ordered 4 dishes for 2 people and selected medium spicy for everything. Food came out quickly and all the dishes were pretty tasty. Portions were sizeable and we ended up with plenty of leftovers. We had:- Slice beef and ox tongue in chili sauce - there were definitely more parts than just beef and tongue but the sauce was so tasty I couldn't stop eating it and only paused because I knew there was more food coming- Wontons in chili sauce - this dish actually came out last and I saw them making the wontons in the kitchen which was probably why it took a little longer than the other dishes. This is a brothy version of this dish with good numbing spice flavor. - Chongqing dry noodles with ground pork - first, a note on the menu that the word "pork" is cut off so I had to take a gamble on the type of meat. (But knew it was likely pork). Once mixed up, this became a saucy noodle dish that my friend commented is "like a spicy spaghetti". This is another addictive dish. - Signature braised beef noodle soup - I've been craving Taiwanese beef noodle soup and while the flavor and type of noodles in this soup wasn't anything like that, it was still tasty. The meat was extremely tender. One thing I didn't like was that the broth of this soup and of the chili wontons was the same so we had two dishes with very similar flavors. The staff was nice but we did have to request bowls and plates for sharing (maybe other customers don't usually share?)

I went here for lunch with a friend since I was craving some noodles and a some numbing spices. We were the first ones there (right at opening) on a Friday. It was pretty cold inside but the food soon warmed us up. I ordered the Chongqing Dry Noodles with Ground Pork and my friend ordered the Signature Braised Noodle soup, which he said was delicious. I liked my dish, I got it mild but could have used a little more spice, probably. The crunch from the peanuts added good texture to the dish! I only ate about half and saved the rest of for later. My friend finished his meal and was pretty happy with the medium spice level. As we were leaving, the place started to fill up! The woman and man working there seemed like a husband wife duo? They were very nice but their English is limited so we did our ordering through the QR code. They do have menus you can ask for too but they still ask you to order through the app.

Came by while I was volunteering near by. Got the pea ground pork noodle and braised beef. Even though I ordered mild, there was plenty of heat packed for both dishes. The braised beef noodle was ok. Hubby didn't care too much for it. For the pea noodle, they gave me the option of having with broth or serving dry with a side of the sauce. I asked what she would recommend and she said the dry one so I went with it and it was delicious with a side of picked veggies. Yummy.

Yumm noodles! I got the beef noodles extra spicy and they were very SPICY!! We like spice though, haha. If you're not into spice be careful! The staff was very attentive and also helped explain the menu to us.Overall it was a good experience.

If you are craving for authentic Chongqing noodle, def recommend coming here! I came with a friend who is from Chongqing and she approved the taste! Be careful with the spicy level as it is p spicy. I got little spicy but it was still p spicy for me so I mixed with vinegar and it tasted great. The noodle texture was chewy and the sauce is p oily, but you can also ask for less oil. We ordered using QR code and food came out quickly. It was very hot day (100F) but their AC wasn't on, maybe because it was weekday afternoon and we were the only customers? Other than that, I enjoyed the food and customer service was also good.

* love the flavor and the noodle's texture, it's all well balance and flavorful. I ordered spicy, and it totally hit the spot and got me fixed* nice service, clean and family friendly
