"This hand-pulled Chinese noodle place is a Dallas favorite. For the strong of stomach, go for the spicy spicy spicy garlic peanut noodles. For everyone else, the brisket fried rice, Chinese eggplant, and all the dumplings are highlights." - Eater Staff
"Once just a tiny walk-up window with rooftop seating, Monkey King Noodle Company grew to three locations before scaling back down to just one again, sticking to its Deep Ellum roots with a prime spot on Main Street. Inside, they serve hand-pulled Chinese noodles and addictive dumplings of the pork, soup, and vegetarian edamame variety." - Rachel Pinn
"Monkey King Noodle Co., a Northern Chinese street food destination that has been in hardcore expansion mode recently." - Brittanie Shey
"At Monkey King Noodle Company in Deep Ellum, for instance, communal seating means that only about twelve diners would be able to be seated inside the entire restaurant, which owner Andrew Chen says isn’t enough to justify the risk to diners and staff." - Amy McCarthy
"Even after Texas governor Greg Abbott’s executive order allowing restaurants to reopen their dining rooms at limited capacity goes into effect on May 1, Dallas dumpling staple Monkey King Noodle Company and many other local eateries will continue to keep their doors closed. Owner Andrew Chen tells Eater that the Deep Ellum favorite just isn’t ready to reopen, considering the current situation with the coronavirus pandemic." - Amy McCarthy
