Noodle Alley

my first time here & i am not disappointed! the food was soo good & came out fast. the fried rice is arguably the best i’ve had in the area. the dumplings are so yummy. the kick the spiny wontons is perfect spice level. 10/10 will be back. the atmosphere is very chill i dined by myself & it was really nice! def gotta come back & try the milk tea

Wow. We feel lied to by some of these reviews. This food was inedible. $40+ worth of food went straight into the trash can. The rice tasted and smelled like Indian food. The stir fry noodles did NOT taste like your traditional stir fry noodles and they baaaarely had any sauce on them. The spring rolls were crunchy on the outside but slim, mushy, and bare on the inside. We are currently ordering from a new place so there goes $90 total spent on dinner tonight. I do NOT recommend this restaurant.

The place is very nice. They have some nice wooden built seating outside, probably best when not hot out. The customer service is really good and accommodating. I tried the wonton in chili oil, and it was good, more oily than spicy. Then, I tried the Hotspot noodles soup, the broth was nice and beefy, and spicy, and the noodles were nice and chewy like ramen noodles. Then I had the Dan Dan noodles. Not quite like drunken noodles like I've had at other places, which were spicier. I like the ramen style noodles they used. The spicy like peanut sauce i was not used to, but it grew on me when I mixed them with the green sauce. Nice place to try out some noodles and dumplings. The have some soup dumplings that are hand made ad well as the bao, I will have to try them next time.

If you want some chewy fresh noodles, drive here and you won't be disappointed. Get the braised beef noodle soup, side dish of pop corn chicken if you want a sharable dish

Food 4/5: Got the hotpot noodles and it was good. The Mala taste is very subtle which I think is intentional to cater to foreigners. Probably still spicy to some, but personally could have used more spice. Enjoyed it nonetheless. Bowl was huge and reasonable for the price. I would recommend it. Like someone else said it would go well w bokchoy lol and maybe if the noodles were cooked a bit longer. Service 4/5: You pay first because it is a self-serve restaurant which I liked. Wish I had more help with ordering because the person at the counter didn’t know anything on the menu to help make a decision. You get side dishes and water yourself. No servers so it feels like you can take your time. Atmosphere 4/5: A little quiet but clean and nice.

Hands down, the best noodles in all of Austin and surrounding areas — and I say this as a true noodle lover. The Dan Dan noodles are absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and 100% worth it. But what really made the experience even better was the service. Everyone was incredibly kind and attentive. Today I ordered my noodles less spicy, and when they still felt a bit too spicy for my taste, I mentioned it — and they happily adjusted them for me with the best attitude. That kind of care really makes a difference. Amazing food, amazing service. I would 100% come back and recommend this place to anyone who truly loves noodles. 🍜✨

Loved this place !! The broth was savory and the meat was falling off the bone . I have in search of some good ramen places and this is definitely on the top of my list. The dumplings were also great. We had spring rolls but devoured them as soon as they hit the table. They offer free noodles if you need more to go with the that amazing broth . The place is clean and the staff was friendly and works quickly to clean up. I will be back !

If you’re a fan of Asian noodles and small bites, **Noodles Alley** is a must-visit. My recent meal here was a delightful experience, and I’m excited to share the details! ### The Food: 9/10 We started with the **Fried Spring Rolls**, which were crispy, golden, and filled with a savory mix of veggies. They were the perfect appetizer to kick off the meal. Next, we tried the **Shrimp and Pork Wontons**, and they were absolutely delicious. The wontons were tender and flavorful, with a light yet savory broth that tied everything together. The **Stir-Fried Chicken Noodles** were a hit—perfectly cooked noodles with tender chicken and a nice balance of veggies. The seasoning was just right, making it a comforting and satisfying dish. The standout, though, was the **Dan Dan Noodles**. They were rich, spicy, and packed with flavor. The noodles had the perfect texture, and the sauce was a delicious mix of savory, nutty, and slightly spicy. And let’s not forget the **cucumber pickles** from the condiments section! They were so refreshing and flavorful that I kept going back for more. Tangy, crunchy, and slightly spicy, they were the perfect palate cleanser between bites. ### The Service: 8/10 The staff was friendly and efficient. Our food came out quickly, and the servers were attentive without being intrusive. ### The Atmosphere: 8/10 Noodles Alley has a casual, cozy vibe with a modern touch. It’s a great spot for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. The place is clean and well-organized, making it a comfortable dining experience. ### Value for Money: 9/10 The portions were generous, and the quality of the food made it well worth the price. We left feeling full and happy, already planning our next visit. ### Final Thoughts Noodles Alley is a fantastic spot for noodle lovers. The Stir-Fried Chicken Noodles, Dan Dan Noodles, and Shrimp and Pork Wontons were all highlights, and the cucumber pickles were an unexpected treat. If you’re in the mood for flavorful, satisfying Asian cuisine, this is the place to go.

New favorite ramen spot in Cedar Park. My husband's coworkers had been recommending this place for years, and we were skeptical because it seemed like a chain spot in a Walmart parking lot. Turns out, I think it's a single location, and they have great ramen! My previous ramen spot has been giving me more grisly meat lately, so I tried here instead and it blew my old place out of the water. It just tastes so much fresher. The bowl was HUGE, and packed with ingredients. No skimping on meat here, nice and juicy and tender beef. The ramen egg was included, and the broth is DELICIOUS. Very safely packaged for a to-go order, and still burning hot when I got home. Came with two condiment cups of chili oil-like sauce and what my husband thought was black vinegar. YUM. The place itself has tons of seating, both indoors and out. The outside has nice covered table booths, each enclosed in its own open-air hut and in nice condition. The workers inside have been so sweet and friendly both times I've ordered. I've already gone twice in two weeks, so safe to say it's a new favorite!

Kind of disappointed. It's been 4 years since I've been here. The last visit was ok I guess. Today I walked in and it reaked of sewage. Yes, sewage. I quickly ordered and waited only to hear "ding!!" A microwave oven going off. Did they just microwave my food? The noodles were alright. Kinda salty. But I could not get past the sewage smell. Every bit I took was accompanied by water to help with the saltiness. Did I mention the whole place smells like sewage?

I often crave Taiwanese tea house food, but have not been successful in finding any great places in this area yet. Noodle Alley was recommended by several of my family members and friends and we finally were able to try it. My family of four and I ordered several dishes, none were astounding, most were overly salty for my taste. I love the popcorn chicken with just salt and pepper and basil, this fell short of that--small pieces of chicken that lacked flavor and came with a spicy mayo dipping sauce. My families dishes (Dan Dan noodles, hot pot soup...all seemed to be too salty. Price was reasonable and they offer self-serve orange slices and pickled cucumbers (cucumbers were our favorite...just the right amount of tartness and crunch!) Probably won't return as it is a bit out of the way for us.

Really good noodle dishes. Top notch. We also had the chicken bites which were different but good. Spicy wontons also good. Quick service. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

My friends and I were starving after our basketball game, and Noodle Alley was the perfect spot! It was super close, which was a major win. We started with the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, and it was crispy and seasoned perfectly - a great way to kick things off. For our mains, we tried both the chicken and the beef dan dan noodles. Both were really good, and the free pickled veggies were a nice touch! Solid noodle spot, and we'll definitely be back after our next game. PS The service was also quick and excellent.

We had Red braised beef short rib noodle, Shrimp and pork wonton chilly sauce and Steamed pork soup dumpling. The beef short rib is so tender and juicy, and the meat falls right off the bone effortlessly. The broth is also very rich and savory. Definitely recommend. Shrimp and pork wonton chili sauce is pretty decent too, but I personally liked the soup dumpling better. The flavor of the soup and the filling was perfectly balanced.

We really enjoy eating here. The soup dumplings are phenomenal--very favorable and soft. The flavor is always spot on. Also, the steam buns are always filled well and very tasty. Service has been great. The servers are attentive, polite, and informative about the menu.

Our first time at Noodle Alley went well. The food is tasty and well portioned. We had dumplings that were precisely and freshly made. Add the stir fry and shoyu ramen entrees and it was a complete meal for a good price and with lots of flavor. There are no fountain drinks here, but they have both Coke and Pepsi plastic bottles for sale and a very good options for milk tea and fruit tea. The staff were helpful and friendly, which is important for a first visit. The seating section is small, but ordering instructions are clear. The decor was a little old and everything can use a good wipe down and brightening, but I'm still going to return next time we are in the mood for noodle. I'd recommend this spot

Love the simplicity of picking out your own soup toppings and add ons. Food was delicious and service was great. Everything was clean and we were taken care of the entire time.

Went here for a family dinner. Easy to order with the QR code but the server was very nice and came out and gave us a carafe of water. Quiet for a Friday night, but the food was great and came out very fast. Homemade noodles and dumplings, the star of the show for us was the soup dumplings! Best dumpling texture to flavor that we have found in Cedar Park for sure. My son got the fried rice which was a generous portion and kept him busy (they have premade kids chopsticks) and my wife got the Dan Dan noodles, which while very tasty, definitely didn't have that good mouth numbing sichuan pepper that we love, tasted more like a garlic noodle, still very good! Will definitely be back to try their ramen and some other noodle dishes and get more soup dumplings.

For the last 10 years or so Ramen has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, thus there are many levels of quality to be found in all the popup restaurants. So, what are some characteristics that determine a good vs great experience? I submit that the quality of broth, the meat, and of course the noodles are the most common features with a number of options also deserving of consideration. One of my criteria are freshly made noodles so after diligently searching I finally decided on Noodle Alley. Located off of Highway 183 in a small shop by Walmart, Noodle Alley is in a safe part of town with plenty of parking. The restaurant is very clean while showing plenty of bamboo furniture and fixtures. The place is small in a quaint way but a little too sterile and new in my opinion. The staff is friendly and more than willing to help, although my visit showed that I had to order at the front then food would and drinks would be brought out. For my first appetizer I ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It was ok however my mind was expecting Karaage which is Japanese. It was fried perfectly however the sauce was a little... forgettable. The fried spring rolls were serviceable and crunchy but I felt it was the exact same rolls I'd get anywhere else; take that however you like. I'd like to point out I love Dim Sum and one of the most popular Dim Sum items are soup dumplings. Having just ate Dim Sum I was anxious to eat it again. I got the dumplings and it was a real let down. The flavors were off as the pork had no flavor, I couldn't tell if there was any ginger and no white pepper. Next there was almost no soup in the pastry. To those who don't know soup dumplings actually have a small amount of soup in them and this version had very little. I didn't care for them. For the main course my girlfriend got the stir-fry noodles and I'm here to tell you WOW! The flavors reminded me of Beef Chow Fun; smoky, perfectly cooked beef toothsome noodles with some veggies, although I wish they had been sprouts in it. If there's one dish to get here, this is it. I got the Shoyu Shrimp Ramen and it didn't exactly hit all notes. The broth was extremely bland, lacking depth as it should have 3 layers; soup, tare and fats while this just tasted like broth even though they claimed soy was infused. That said the house made noodles were perfectly cooked and carried the dish. After having the beef in the stir fry, I wish I would have ordered that protein instead of shrimp as it didn't pop right. However, that's my fault ordering shrimp in a beef broth dish. Overall, I found the experience subpar, a run of the mill ramen experience. While I was eating, I found my time lackluster and after having time to "digest" my experience weeks later, I stand by my claim it wasn't great. The highlights are definitely the home-made noodles, the beef and the stirfry. Stop by if you have a hankering and area a Ramen novice.

Being born and raised in SGV in LA, my standards for noodle soups are pretty high. This place is decent. It's definitely not to the level of SGV noodles, but I have yet to find a better place to satisfy my noodles cravings within the area. I noticed they had converted the restaurant to be partially a poke bar, which kind of seemed like an odd choice to me. Thematically, it didn't really fit the vibe inside the restaurant and felt a bit out of place. When I ate here recently, I actually stopped in my tracks after I walked through the doors because I thought I went into the wrong restaurant. Where they previously had the noodle menu on the digital screen and the cashier, it's now a poke station which had thrown me off. They did add some new items to the "noodle" side of the restaurant which I was excited about. We usually ordered the Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings which I enjoy but this time we got their Steam Buns. It comes in 2 and you can choose two different fillings as well. I tried the juicy pork and the spicy brisket ones. Both were yummy! As for the noodle soups, my go to is the Hot Pot Beef Noodle Soup. It is spicy which I enjoy. I only wish it came with more toppings. I think another favorite here is the Red Braised Beef Noodle Soup. I stopped ordering this mainly because I don't like how it comes with bone in short ribs. I'm used to this soup being boneless. The flavor isn't bad though for anyone who doesn't mind the bone. The latest change here which I was absolutely thrilled about is that you can now get free refill noodles if you dine in and order noodle soup. Each order does come with a decent helping of noodles but noodle is life for me so of course I would never say no to free extra noodles. If you opt in for the extra noodles, I would highly recommend portioning your soup and toppings out appropriately so that you have enough for the additional noodles. I was stuffed and packaged up the steam buns for to-go. So well worth it in my opinion.

I wanted a light lunch and thought of this place for a soup! I ended up trying the spring rolls and Shrimp and Pork Wonton Chili Sauce soup, it was delicious and had just the perfect amount of spicy kick. The service was also super friendly.

Ambiance wonderful ! Service when ordering is friendly , the dumplings were 8 out of 10 very soft and delicious , Wontons were 6 out of 10 in my opinion could be better , oranges were sweet, the stir fry noodle wasn't my favorite not that much flavor The red braised beef short rib noodle was delicious, juicy and tender flavor packed and I will come back for the ramen and the ambiance

Ok, full disclosure, this is a third party review of this restaurant as I only purchased and delivered the food. Had some local out of town friends visit and their child ran a fever when we were planning to meet for dinner. So we decided to bring them dinner so they could cars for this kid. They enjoyed everything they ordered. Sorry no photos, as it was kind of a "Hi, Here, Enjoy" type of a visit in the lobby of their hotel. When we saw them the next day, they mentioned with great enthusiasm, how wonderful the food was. Everything!!! Now I've got to try it out for myself. Michael C. - Georgetown

The spicy beef noodles were spicy and it packed a small punch. The noodles had a slight al dente chew and it went really well with the broth. The spicy chili wontons were really flavorful and you can taste the shrimp in every bite. They have a simple menu and this is the closest spot in Cedar Park for Asian style beef noodle soup.

Another tip-of-the-hat to Yelper reviews as their 4 and 5-star reviews led us to Noodle Alley for some spicey hot soup/ramen on a cold TX evening. Their noodles are the stars here as they are soft and thin and absorb the broth quickly. We started with spring rolls, fried perfectly and accompanied by a sweet but slightly spicy sauce. Oh, after you order at the counter turn around and take advantage of their gratis spicy pickled cucumbers. Icy cold, a tad spicy, and crunchy perfect! I opted for their Shoyu Ramen noodle bowl. I was expecting a spicier dish but I was able to bring up the heat. The broth is a soy sauce beef-based broth that is chock full of thinly sliced tender beef, fresh veggies, and a marinated egg. There is an ample amount of noodles that just got better and better in the broth. There are other protein options. Plus one ordered the braised beef short ribs soup. Like my dish, their soy-based broth is a perfect accompaniment for the ribs and noodles. The meat was beyond tender and like my entree, there was a healthy amount of noodles. Be aware their portions are huge and we have enough leftovers for a hearty lunch. I can't wait for our next visit as their dumplings look amazing! So now we have two righteous noodle restaurants in the CP with King Noodle being right across Bell Blvd from Noodle Alley.

Friendly service, the dining room was clean and the food is amazing. Love going there.

The food here does not miss. Absolutely loved the minced pork noodle bowl and soup dumplings. The service was quick and super kind, and consistently ensured we were content/didn't need anything else! Large portions and very fresh tasting. 4/5 because I got the Matcha boba, and it was not great. It tasted bitter and the actual boba tasted a bit off. It was also fairly cold in the building. Otherwise wonderful!

My son and I went to Noodle Alley to try soup dumplings (he'd never had any before). Noodle Alley is hidden in a strip mall across from Walmart. They have cute little huts outside for when the weather is warm. My son would have definitely wanted us to sit outside if it hadn't been freezing. Inside the restaurant is clean and warm. You go up to the counter to order and pay. Once you order, there is a bar behind you where you can get free pickled veggies as a starter. Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings $6.95 - These were so good we ordered another round of them! My son was excited to try them ("the ones from the movie") Fried Spring Roll $5 - Fresh and crispy! We both loved them! Spicy Minced Pork Noodle $10.99 - I ordered this as my main because I'd read someone else saying it was really good...I honestly wouldn't order it again. It didn't have a ton of flavor for me. Shoyu Ramen with chicken - Ordered for my son! He enjoyed it...but definitely just wanted more soup dumplings haha! Will definitely visit again!

Finally, an Asian place that doesn't suck. Seriously, eat here if you crave good noodles and tasty dim sum. The people are friendly The restaurant is cute inside too. Blink and you miss it but you will be missing out.

Came here on a whim and I'm glad I did. There was plenty of seating (inside and out), lots of parking, staff was nice, and the wait for food wasn't bad at all. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table along with a jug of water. They have plenty of condiments and pickled cucumbers you can help yourself to in the back. We started off with the soup dumplings. There was hardly any soup inside, but the pork flavor was prominent and the seasoning was good. It paired perfectly with the black vinegar. We ordered two different noodle soups and they were plentiful in noodles! The hotpot beef noodle soup had delicious flavor with a kick, but my favorite was the tom yum noodle soup. The tom yum broth was thick and not too salty with plenty of shrimp. I know where I'll be going when the tom yum noodle craving hits again!

This place is such a rock star, for my money the best noodles in Cedar Park. I almost always get the braised beef, but today was the Shoyu Ramen and the especially wonderful Tom Yum. The latter will probably be my new regular order, it's so outstanding. I think my only disappointment were the soup dumplings. Having never had them in my life, I finally decided today was the day to pull the trigger, and I was very underwhelmed. Videos and pictures I have seen of them show them to be full of soup, these had perhaps five or six drops of liquid in them. It was just some meat and stuff. I mean I guess if they aren't soup dumplings, they are just dumplings? Just not what was advertised I suppose. (I would still very much like to try some actual soup dumplings somewhere.)

Food is delicious! We've loved everything on the menu so far. Especially the shoyu ramen, beef stir fry, and bao buns. The service is really good and they're very attentive, and the little huts in the front are cute!

This is one of our favorite spots to get a big bowl of noodles and soup dumplings. Their portions are generous and the flavor is on point. Their soup dumplings are very soupy and I appreciate their condiment counter with chilli oil and chilli oil picked cucumbers. The spicy minced pork noodle is so delicious and filling, the portions are massive and love that it's filled with so many fresh veggies. The meat gravy it comes with is so flavorful and yummy. It's always our go to. We also really enjoy their milk tea options, which are light and refreshing to numb the spiciness

Really enjoyed this place! The staff were really nice and helpful, and the food was really tasty! The only reason I did not give 5 stars, is because I have been in twice now and each time there has been an odd smell. I dk what it is maybe a bad drain or something. It almost made me leave the first time it was not a pleasant odor! Haha Glad I didn't tho, the food and drinks were on point!

Was in the area and decided to try this place. The food was great here. The service was quick. And the place was nice. I'm glad I tried it. And even an 11 year old loved the place too. I will be back to this pace again.

This noodle shop is uniquely good and convenient. Their signature beef soup is amazing. All the dumplings are well prepared.

I was kinda skeptical about this place but it is better than I thought! I was initially gonna order the Dan Dan Noodles but they had an option to add chicken and that seemed odd to me. So I decided to order the spicy minced pork. These noodles were better than I thought but there was no spice at all. The staff were friendly and the food came out pretty quick!

Came here for lunch the other day with our dog and ate outside. Simple ordering at the counter and they bring the food to you pretty quickly. Popcorn chicken - pretty tasty and enjoyed the dipping sauce. Dan dan noodles - definitely one of the better versions of this I've tried. Had enough for some leftovers! Xiao long bao - good but have had better or more for the price. Probably wouldn't order again here Overall would go back if it were closer, need more like this in south Austin!

I've been here couple times The food is delicious their side dishes are nice and it's grab your own side dish type of deal Noodles are fresh but last time I tried it was a bit salty

My daughter contracted food poisoning from their pork dumplings and was out of school for 4 days. With alll the symptoms and BONUS, I got it as well because I was taking care of her. Worst experience. DO NOT ORDER HERE. DO NOT ORDER HERE.

Chile, you better run back to your car. This place looks decent but the food is far from. The stir fry beef noodles were wack, the beef was tasteless and the texture was off too rubbery for my liking. The pork wontons was the best thing I ordered. Don't get it twisted definitely won't knock your socks off but at least they had flavor. Nothing tasted authentic is my real issue. And I was shocked at the raving reviews of this place. Not my cup of tea, but different strokes for different folks.

I went to this restaurant on a whim to try their pho. I was able to get seated for a party of 4 pretty quickly around dinner time. I would describe the ambiance as fast casual. They have some indoor and outdoor dining spots, but takeout seems to be a popular option as well. In terms of food, we were quite impressed with everything we tried. The chili wontons were a good size portion and were very tasty. The braised beef noodles were a large portion and featured tender portions of beef. definitely recommend if you're looking for a hearty and quick meal with authentic flavors.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this spot seriously deserves one! What an unexpected gem. We tried the braised short rib noodles, fried spring rolls, and sticky buns--and wow, everything was absolutely delicious. I live in Georgetown, and I'd happily make the drive again just to eat here. Pro tip: don't leave without grabbing some spicy pickles from the back. Trust me--you won't regret it!

This place is just a solid restaurant. They have a smaller menu but I assume everything on it would be good. They also have spicy pickled cucumbers as a banchan option for no additional cost. The restaurant itself is cute and has nice outdoor seating too. I got the spicy minced pork noodle entree and it was great. It was about a 2 or 3 out of 10 for spice level, but they do have chili oil for you to increase the spice level yourself. The veggies in it are really fresh and crisp, which is great when so many places nowadays have bland veggies. One of the best parts of this meal was the popcorn chicken! It's exactly what you want from Vietnamese popcorn chicken and it was $6.50 for a huge pile of meat. I'd gladly come back when I'm in the area.

This place is starting to become a must when I visit family in Texas. It's never a let down. Their food is scrumptious and quick to come out. We are usually 6+ plus and there's enough space for us all. Service is always quick and the employees are always on top of their customers needs. Second time here and I can't wait to comeback already! 10/10 it's amazing!!

I've been here two times now and it's a stellar spot for Chinese/Taiwanese foods. The noodles are really good and they are generous with meet and ingredients in them. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the outdoor seating is cool. The soup dumplings are actually pretty good for their price. The popcorn chicken is juicy and soft but I do wish they included basil which Taiwanese popcorn chicken typically comes with. The chili wontons seemed to be a popular dish but I didn't think they were that good - I think it needs a bit more saltiness and tang to match the chili oil. The only other issue was the price on the menu for the Tom yum noodles was wrong and I wasn't offered the price on the screen though it was their mistake. But the noodles were really good and I hope they've corrected it.

My sister just ordered from them on door dash yesterday and the food is amazing. Literally the best chili oil wontons. The chili oil was seasoned but not salty and a bit spicy but not overly so. The star was definitely the wontons. It had a nice thin wrapper and fresh meat filling. Literally could just eat this all day. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken is so good! Must get every time. The beef noodle soup. Ok you guys surprised me with this one. I've never had a good bowl in Austin and literally the best. The large beef and noodles was so much food we had to split it for two people. The broth was so well seasoned I didn't even need much black vinegar. The fresh boiled greens was nice touch and the pickled veg was perfect. You guys are outstanding. Thank you! ( excuse the poor photos. I was so excited I started eating before I took a photo!)

I had a seminar in Cedar Park today and stopped here for a late lunch. The place was packed and the reviews were solid, so my expectations were high. As it turns out, it was just mediocre. I ordered the dandan noodles, and my first clue at mediocrity was that they asked me what kind of protein I wanted, like it was an Asian version of Chipotle. The traditional dandan is made with minced pork, not tofu, shrimp, or chicken. The sauce was so thick with sesame paste the noodles were all clumped together. I had to cut them with a fork just to have a reasonable bite. Also, there was no discernible flavor of the numbing Szechuan peppercorns, one of the defining flavors of this dish. Props for the suimiyacai, a pickled vegetable which is important for dandan noodles. I'll go back to try the dumplings the next time I'm nearby, but I would not go out of my way based on what I ate today.

A very nice hidden gem in the Cedar Park area. It's a small menu but all of the dishes are on point and simply delicious. The Dan Dan Noodles and the pork/shrimp dumplings in chili were our two favorites. Lots of complex flavors and drop dead delicious. I was also very impressed with the pork soup dumplings. As good as any of the top notch dumpling places in Austin. The Taiwanese chicken was also great. Service was friendly and prompt.

This place is amazing!!! We had Mango boba, soup dumplings, chicken fried rice and hotpot beef noodle and ordered more to take for dinner. YUM! Definitely shareable and a crowd pleaser.

I have frequently visited Noodle Alley the past few years and what makes me come back every time is their simple menu. I have enjoyed their soup dumplings, popcorn chicken and their beef noodle soups. It is the only place in the Austin area where I will order Chinese/Taiwanese beef noodle soup because theirs is just the right amount of richness and beefiness. Plus their short rib is tender and falls off the bone. My most recent trip there, I ordered the usual Red Braised Beef Short Rib Noodle and was really taken back on the saltiness of the broth. I couldn't even finish half of the bowl because of how salty it was. I hope that day was a fluke and their original recipe hasn't changed.

Great food and service. Thank you staff and Amy for my birthday celebration. Order the Poopoo platter you will not be disappointed. Johnny & Bernadette

Noodle Alley!!! I've only been here one time so I cant comment much on the consistancy but the noodles I had were excellent. The broth, spicy level and taste is on point for their braised beef soup. My mouth is watering right now thinking about it. So gooooooood!! On the downside, it is a little bit pricier than I would expect for these dishes. However, I don't know another noodle place that embodies the Szechwan flavors their hotpot noodle soup offers. On the plus side, free noodle refills!!

Overall this place is great for a quick lunch/dinner or takeout. Service is quick and staff was friendly. Everything was clean inside. As for the food: we came here for the soup dumplings as everyone said it's the best in the area. Slightly disappointed that there was only one option. You get 4 total, so if you want it as a meal you'll need 2 orders. 2 of the 4 didn't have any "soup" or liquid in it. But they were tasty. The fried chicken was pretty good. Flavor is a little heavy on the certain spice. Dipping sauce was good and not too spicy. The beef noodles were good, flavor was good. The beef was a bit like a jerky flavor.

I tried this place on a whim when I couldn't figure out what to do for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised. Since we have ordered from here several times. Good portion sizes for the price. Easy dinner with leftovers that reheat to taste practically as good as the first time around.

Pretty good flavor noodles. Although the sesame noodle was not the same way as traditional tasting and how it was prepared in China but I think the flavor was not bad. The spicy oil was great, not too spicy but tasty. It's a good portion too. The service is quick but the staff was busy so our order's drink got delayed for a while.

Delicious food! Warm, friendly service. They genuinely cared that everything was as good as possible. Excited to find this place, as I was only in the neighborhood for work, not my usual haunt. I look forward to eating at Noodle Alley again soon!
