Noodle Man

Our go-to spot! We love everything from the hot & spicy soup, to the mongolian beef! The spicy pork dumplings are always a 5/5! Always cool to see the workers making the noodles! Just such a cute and cozy spot to dine. My personal favorite is the hot & spicy soup, but the brisket tomato soup was wonderful too. You definitely must stop by while you're in VB.

Almost like a hole in the wall place, but the fried rice is the best old school Asian-styled fried rice I have had in this area for the price. My only complaint is the salt!! It's WAY TOO MUCH! Even when I requested lite salt. It might not bother a lot of people though, as our society is a high sodium consumer. Also, they don't do different spice levels, like you can request it but it won't be spicy. We asked for the spiciest they had and it was mild at best. Now on to my favorite, the fried salt and spicy squid!!! OMGGGGG It was delicious!!!! I'd stop by just for that!We've done dine in (service is slow), and take out! No difference in what we received.

I figured it was time for an updated review of Noodle Man. I'd like to say that Noodle Man has been open at this location since late 2018. They were an immediate hit and have grown in popularity so much that they opened a second location in Chesapeake in February/March 2020. I hit up this VB Noodle Man location on occasion and am glad to report they are just as good now as they were when they first opened. The VB Noodle Man is small. There are about 9-10 tables and roughly 8 seats at the bar. They will fill up quickly during the lunch and dinner rushes. Regardless, their space is clean, organized and is the perfect size to view the kitchen staff as they prepare the food and make their famous noodles. The great thing about Noodle Man is they make their noodles in house. The technique they use is of the more traditional style of making noodles, which I've only seen in person here. If nothing else, any noodle dish you order will be fresh and delicious. It's obvious that their customers love that aspect, and they reward them by returning again and again. I've visited often enough to try nearly everything on their menu. And I haven't had a bad dish among them. Although they're good any time, I usually opt for the Chicken Mushroom Noodle Soup (B1.) during the winter months. I sometimes opt in for an appetizer, too - their Pork Shrimp with Leek Dumpling (A11.) is fantastic. Other highlights include: A3. Fried Salt & Spicy Shrimp A4. Fried Salt & Spicy Wings A5. Fried Salt & Spicy Pork Chop (this is a recurring theme)B2. Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup B6. Hong Kong Style Noodle Soup The broth for their soup is delicious and complements the noodles perfectly. In addition, their soups are plentiful - you will get filled up if you finish an entire bowl. Finally, Noodle Man's staff is fantastic. Many of the wait staff are veterans - they know the menu inside and out, know much of the clientele (NM has many regulars at this point), and know exactly how to handle any given situation and customer. I'd like to think I'm a regular because a couple of the servers have recognized me, but I recently met a man who stops in every Saturday, and apparently comes in as often as possible. That's a testament to how good Noodle Man's food and service are - those regulars are loyal and will sing its praises to anyone who will listen. I'm glad Noodle Man has remained a fantastic place. I can always count on their food to be fresh and delicious, while their service is just as impressive. Thank you, Noodle Man! JV

Food was good! The chili oil wontons were flavorful! Little Dude #2 loved his chicken wings! Big Bro ate his beef fried rice without complaint. Daughter & Littlest Dude shared the Lan Zhou soup. Hubby liked his seafood soup and I liked my chili oil soup. Noodles were all amazing, just don't let them sit too long in the soup. Service was AWESOME! Super friendly and attentive!

Awesome noodle spot with amazing stir fry noodles and chicken wings. Inside has great art on the walls. The server was very helpful with the menu.

Lord help me because if I have to drive seven hours to come back here from New York, I will. The first time I've ever seen somebody making the noodles by hand before them getting served out to a diner. This place is awesome.Oh, did I mention they were hand-pulled noodles? The guy was encased in glass and looked like everybody else was watching him make his stuff. Service was amazing. They were on the ball from the minute I walked in. I took a seat at the bar so I could watch the show. I think this is the kind of spot you need to bring a couple of friends with who enjoy good food so you can split the appetizers on top of a very filling entree. The space isn't huge but it has a bunch of booths and about eight spots at the bar for you to sit through. Good music and the wait staff genuinely seemed happy to work there and were really grooving. Some were even singing along with the tunes. Definitely going to be back before I head back upstate.

My husband and I's first time trying Noodle Man was on a Saturday night via delivery through DoorDash. The order came quickly and was accurate and hot! We ordered the Pork Wonton appetizer with Chili Oil and they were surprisingly not spicy at all. The prominent flavor was actually ginger believe it or not. I found them to be light and delicious, although not what I was initially expecting. For dinner, I tried the Chicken Fried Rice and the Mongolian Beef Stir Fry Noodle dishes. Both were delicious, but the Mongolian Beef Stir Fry Noodle was my number one favorite. The beef was perfectly cooked and not full of fat as you often find at most Chinese restaurants. The spice level was perfect and the szechuan peppers added the perfect amount of heat. I love how this dish was full of veggies between the two different peppers. Noodles and rice were both cooked perfectly. My husband had the Hot & Spicy Noodle and he enjoyed it thoroughly. He wasn't very hungry going into dinner, but managed to enjoyed the entire soup. We both really enjoyed the food we had from Noodle Man and I am pleased that we have found our go-to Chinese restaurant in the Virginia Beach area. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Why didn't anyone tell me this place was so good?!? (Actually people have been telling me for years) but I finally decided to go one afternoon for lunch. I got there right around the time they opened because I didnt know if it got packed. There were about 3 tables full. By the time I was leaving, people were starting to come in.I sat at the bar area against the glass window so I could watch the guy make the noodles from scratch. It was so cool. I ordered the shredded chicken with garlic sauce noodles. It was delicious. Everything tasted so fresh. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to try more items!

Always a great spot for some yummy appetizers and wonton noodle soups! Service was great, they were fast and super sweet! The place was clean and had a huge glass where you can see the chef making hand pulled noodles, very cool!

My recent dining experience at Noodle Man was an absolute delight, offering a culinary journey that left me thoroughly impressed from start to finish.Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately struck by the inviting aroma of freshly made noodles, setting the stage for what would be a memorable meal. We decided to sample a variety of dishes, opting for the Tomato Beef Noodle Soup and the Regular Beef Noodle Soup.Let's talk about those noodles--perfection in every bite! Freshly made and expertly cooked, they were wonderfully chewy and bouncy, elevating the entire dining experience to new heights. Whether enjoyed in the tomato-infused broth of the Tomato Beef Noodle Soup or the clear yet flavorful broth of the Regular Beef Noodle Soup, the noodles were undeniably the star of the show.Speaking of broth, I must commend Noodle Man for their mastery in crafting broths that are both clear and intensely flavorful. Each spoonful was a symphony of savory goodness, perfectly complementing the hearty noodles and tender beef.But the culinary delights didn't stop there. The Salt and Pepper Fried Squid appetizer was a revelation, boasting crispy, tender squid pieces tossed with fragrant fried garlic and jalapenos--a true explosion of flavors and textures. The accompanying cucumber salad provided a refreshing contrast, with its crunchy texture and slight kick of spice.One highlight of the meal was the tableside chili oil selection--an unexpected touch that added an extra layer of flavor to every dish. The chili oils were perfectly balanced, offering just the right amount of heat and complexity to enhance the flavors of each dish without overpowering them.Overall, my experience at Noodle Man was nothing short of exceptional. From the amazing noodles and flavorful broths to the delightful appetizers and thoughtful touches like the tableside chili oil selection, every aspect of the meal was executed with precision and care. Without a doubt, Noodle Man has earned my enthusiastic recommendation, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience.
