Really tasty noodles and friendly staff! We got the scallion pancakes and salt and pepper chicken wings for appetizers. The scallion pancakes were odd and not a lot of scallions. The noodle soups were all incredibly tasty and the portion sizes were great! I got the beef noodle soup which had really tender pieces of beef and long hand pulled noodles. My bf ordered the noodle salad which wasn’t what we expected - they provided us with noodles and vegetables on the side and some soy sauce and chili paste to drizzle on top. My friend ordered the hot and sour noodle soup which was very flavorful. The chicken wing were very moist and crispy - I wish they came with a sauce on the side. Overall, great reliable neighborhood Chinese restaurant and will definitely come back when we are in the area!

Great place for authentic Chinese cuisine. I especially love their slow cooked pork belly! Highly recommend the beef noodle soup as well. Warms you up, especially during this rainy season.

Came here for dinner with my parents. Didn't really know what to expect from this place given the decor is very East meets West. How often do you find classic Chinese tea sitting next to bottles of red wine? After getting seated we very quickly found out that despite the appearance, this place serve some traditional Chinese noodle dishes. My parents and I all ordered a different noodle soup with a salted duck on the side. All of our broth was very flavorful and everything in it cooked perfectly. The owners were also very friendly and came around multiple times to make sure our meal was good! All in all, loved everything we had, and I would love to come back and try some of their other dishes.

We enjoy getting food at Noodles Fresh... We had pot stickers and chicken soup as well as scallion pancake. As always quite tasty- only wished there were more veggies
in these dishes instead of having to order a separate vegetable in addition to the base food.
Even when ordering dishes which list vegetables they are somewhat scarce... We appreciate the service and flavors of course.

There have been kitchen staff changes and the Mongolian beef has been terrible it used to be really good. Bright lightly sauteed onions big chunks. Beef was very good with lots of sauce sticking to it. Last week I mentioned it to the owner she said it would be fixed. I saw the owner today as I came in and said I was going to get the Mongolian beef and I hoped it would be better. I guess she had other things to do this was not a lunch special on the weekend. It arrived at the table with no sauce on any of the meat all different sized onions. I sent it back and it came back saltier but no sauce. I had a friend with me who had also noticed it going downhill as a dish. He tried it and confirmed they just added more salt. I tried 😭 it used to be so good this is very sad.

Taiwanese beef noodle soup is ok. Xinjiang lamb soup is beyond our expectation.

Not recommended for the Canton seafood stir-fly noodles, not authentic at all.

Clean and easy parking.

Dishes here are excellent and of good size. Each noodle dish is very different than the others trying to highlight different regional styles of China. They also have good tea at really reasonable prices. It was packed when we stopped in for dinner and staff was a little frantic, but did really well overall. Highly recommended.

Delicious noodle soup, noodle and rice dishes and appetizers. The salt and pepper wings were hot and crunchy, though I would have liked a little more seasoning. Dumplings were hot and crispy. The broth in my seafood noodle soup was delicious and there were lots of prawns and pieces of fish. Only downside was the rice vermicelli. I would have preferred a better rice noodles, but it was fine.

Overall a good meal. Friendly, prompt service. Worth going back.
