I was happy to hear that Mesquite had gained a new restaurant. King Noodle Sushi is located at the border of Mesquite and Sunnyvale. It's in a pretty quiet location off Galloway Avenue and 80 with an unsuspecting beautiful interior. I was blown away by the wall designs and never suspected the size of the restaurant from the outside. It was quite a nice looking establishment. Great service, we were seated immediately and had a very friendly and patient server who answered our questions and offered suggestions.
The biggest draw to trying them out was the hand pulled noodles, we were excited to try something fresh and different. They have a semi open kitchen concept where you can actually watch them pull the noodles and assemble the sushi (there is a tip jar on the counter).
In total I visited two times and here is what we tried:
Appetizer:
- Spring rolls (2pcs) $4.49. Pretty basic, nothing special but wasn't bad. Kind of pricey.
- Cheese Wonton (6) $5.99. We enjoyed them, they were extremely well made where the sweetness of the cream cheese wasn't overpowering. The sweet and sour sauce that comes with this order had the consistency of water and was just ok.
Entrée:
- General Tso's Chicken, $12.45. Just ok. Nothing I could see myself craving or wanting to try again soon. Tastes very similar to any Chinese takeout but costs more, comes with a decent portion of rice for two people
- Chicken Stir Fried Noodle, $12.45. Not good. The noodles were much thinner than the beef stir fried noodles that we had tried earlier. Had a smoky taste to them that wasn't appealing. Doused in soy sauce-like consistency that didn't stick to the noodles.
- Beef Stir Fried Noodle, $12.45. Excellent. Best value and taste. The noodles were made to perfection and were perfectly seasoned. We absolutely craved these noodles again as they were seasoned and sauced perfectly.
Sushi:
- Spicy Crunchy Roll, $11.99. This was pretty standard for a special sushi roll. Made with California roll topped with spicy tuna, crabmeat, masago, tempura crunch eel sauce, and spicy mayo. We felt it was well made and tasted fresh.
- Dynamite Roll, $11.25. Made with Salmon, Jalapeno, cream cheese wrapped slight battered, masago, fried eel sauce, spicy mayo on top. I could barely taste the salmon as it was overpowered by the taste of warm cream cheese from when they fried the roll. Warm cream cheese isn't the most appetizing... Couldn't taste the jalapeno. The rolls were cut thin but didn't fall apart. We didn't enjoy the taste of this and felt the rolls didn't match the price point with how little we could taste the salmon. I would not get this item again.
- California Roll, $6.99. Most places charge around this amount but it was pretty basic and what you'd expect. We enjoyed it for its reliable and un-disappointing taste.
Overall, I would visit again but only for the BEEF hand pulled stir fried noodles and spicy crunchy roll as good sushi is hard to find in the area. The wasabi barely has a taste which was surprising and would be so much better if it was authentic. I wouldn't really get sushi and just spend more of my money on the noodles. Hope to try the dumplings next.
