Northern pasta

Unfortunately our experience did not align with the positive comments posted on Instagram (Houston food influencers). The woman who was taking orders bluntly commanded from the register to come get our own menus. Then she took our order while eating her lunch (chewing food and talking). The food is very simple and prepared with no skill. The beef was very tough (plate of meat on the left), red bean bun was super dry, and the seaweed salad (yellow pile) was not enjoyable. The savory silken tofu texture was not silken but instead "stretchy" and silken tofu should not have a weird "elastic" texture. The restaurant was unclean. That's enough.

Authentic Chinese flavors, delicious handmade noodles and dumplings. and possibly best 包子 i had in a while!

Just hit up Northern Pasta in Houston’s Chinatown for the first time, and I’m giving it a solid 4/5 stars! The hand-pulled noodles were straight-up amazingly chewy, fresh, and served piping hot. The youtiao was legit the best I’ve ever had, super crispy and golden. Prices are super affordable, and the staff were really nice, making it a chill spot. I also tried the pan-fried buns, which had a great texture but were kinda meh on flavor, missing that extra punch. On the cons, the wait was pretty long, and it felt a bit chaotic since it’s so busy. The place is small with not many tables, so seating’s tight. Also, the sweet soy milk was a little watered down. Still, those noodles and youtiao are worth the trip, and I’ll definitely swing by again!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND their oil splashed noodle. It’s one of the best things I’ve had during my trip to Houston. This is such a small hole in the wall. You order at the counter and they bring you your food to your table. There is a counter for you to get water and utensils.

We ordered Rou Jia Mo and right way I know it is right. We loved it. The flavor of pig ears appetizer was good but the texture was a little bit hard to chew. The lamb soup was good too. Satisfied with the simple meal.

Pretty good north-east China style food, with dumpling, buns and noodles. Friendly service from owners and it's like home-cooking experience. Lamb soup is good!

Went here with a group of friends and lemme tell ya - DELICIOUS. Food was so good my eyes started watering. Got the Pork Cabbage Dumplings, Beef Onion Dumplings, and Pan Fried Buns & more. Highly recommend all!

Their friend dough stick(You Tiao 油条）is soooo Yummy!! Good taste paired with sweet soy milk. The fish dumpling is special and delicious! you rarely see it in any other places. Dumpling is very authentic Chinese flavor 100%recommended Price is good

Their noodles were amazing! The portion sizes were great for the price and the noodles had amazing texture(best I've had in Houston so far!) The only thing was that the interior wasn't very welcoming but it's not really a place I'd judge for their ambience. It's just not a place I'd really sit and chat with friends. Just make sure to stir it really well from the bottom. The sauce is all underneath.

I've never seen so many bean sprouts in one dish before. Ordered the oil splashed noodles and it's delicious and flavorful, although there's an ungodly amount of bean sprouts. There's also vinegar and chili oil at every table so you can adjust for your preference which is always great.

Quick and delicious! If you like thick hand-pulled and spicy Chinese noodles, this is the place for you. Get the hand pulled noodles with hot oil and you won't regret it. Add beef to make it more filling, but the portions are already large. They also have delish beef noodle soups and shrimp dumplings, as well as scallion pancakes, if thick moods aren't your thing. The food is out super quickly and it's very reasonably priced. It's a very low key place to bring a few friends for a delicious meal. Parking situation: on-site

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. The restaurant is located in a strip mall among other small Asian-owned businesses. The mini pork buns were a standout for my husband & I, with a soft, pillowy exterior and a dense, flavorful pork filling--highly enjoyable. We also tried the oil-splashed noodles with beef. The noodles had a fantastic texture with a satisfying bite, and the dish smelled divine. The toppings, including bok choy, sprouts, and sweet chili sprinkles, were fresh and added a nice variety of textures. The sauce was flavorful but leaned a bit too vinegary for my taste, though balancing it with the sweet honey tea helped. My husband enjoyed the beef, but I found it too fatty. On the downside, the crunchy chili oil jar on the table was dried up and unappealing, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a decent experience, with some elements like the noodle texture and bok choy being my favorites. While the food was enjoyable, it may not be worth a special trip from the suburbs to visit again.

My mom has always been a big fan of this place and insisted that I tag along this time. As much as I trust her judgement in Chinese cuisine, I hesitated a bit since she tends to prefer carb-loaded, mild-flavored dishes over my preference for protein-packed, savory dishes. She ordered her favorite for us to share, the liangpi (凉皮 or "cold noodles"), and it was indeed carb loaded but tasted more flavorful than I expected. It looks plain at first, but the bottom of the bowl contains peanut butter sauce that is waiting to be mixed. Additionally, I added chili oil which added a nice kick. If you're like me and can't stomach the thought (no pun intended... I think?) of eating a dish of only carbs, share it with a friend so you can feel less guilty while still experiencing some Northern Chinese staples. Also, my mom loves to chat away with Chinese restaurant owners and I appreciated the lady at the counter (presumably the owner) continuing a conversation with her.

Today I felt inspired to make a trip out again and this was through a recommendation of the Houston Chinatown food group on Facebook. I thought why not give another new opportunity a try? This lead me to visiting Northern Pasta. I would say I came in with an open mind to what the restaurant offer. But I something I appreciated is the feel of being in a noodle and dumpling house. Just a straightforward vibe and the menu for me had solid staples. I went on a curiosity take and went with something I seen on the mural on the wall. I picked the mutton noodle and had to try the Chinese burger and a pork cabbage bun. The Chinese burger was filled nicely with just the right amount of meat, scallions and onions. I would say it would be a nice quick on the go. Two would be good for a meal. The pork cabbage bun first bite, steaming and retained the juice from the pork. What was a surprise for me was the mutton noodle. I think it is good etiquette before indulging into any soup you have to try the broth. I took a sip and thought to myself, "this is going to be good." It is aromatic, light in flavor and the noodles were a great compliment to the mutton. There is a nice balance just like a similarity how Vietnamese Phõ is constructed. Overall I enjoyed it. I visited during a time where there were a few people dining in but got a bit busier when I left. I am pleasantly impressed and I could eat the mutton noodle every time without any complaints. Now one thing that could maybe dissuade people for ordering it is the taste if somebody is not used to that flavor. It doesn't bother me and would say lamb would be more a potent profile. I would like to come back to Northern Pasta for sure. Very casual but solid staples. I would not ask for anything else but that.

Hole in the wall restaurant that's got super homey Chinese food. Noodles are always comfort food to the max, so cold weather day made it a perfect chance to grab some. Food comes out quick but the restaurant is pretty tight on spacing. Speaking mandarin is definitely beneficial too. We tried a handful of items and all were decent. Oil splashed noodles had a good mix of hand pulled flat noodles, some sliced beef for protein, bok choy and bean sprouts with chili oil sauce. Not as spicy as I would have expected, but there's vinegar, soy sauce and chili crisp on the table to adjust the flavor yourself. Liangpi noodles are quite slurpable but the cold noodle dish might be a bit strange to some. Chinese hamburger was chopped pork and some cilantro on a bing that was a little dry but grab some chili oil to cut through the hefty pork. Pork and cabbage dumplings are boiled, plump and juicy - make your own dipping sauce and go to town. All in all, if you want a homestyle noodle experience, this is the place to go.

I am a big fan of Northern Pasta! Their noodles are perfectly chewy and soaks up the flavor of the dish well. The restaurant itself is an authentic mom and pop shop kind of place. Come in if you're looking for an easy relaxed environment paired with amazing flavors. The service here is no fuss, you walk up and order, pay and enjoy your meal. Every single time I come I'm never disappointed. Not to mention the serving sizes are super filling!

My wife and I ate here and ordered the oil-splashed noodles, fennel and pork dumplings, cucumber salad, and leek pie. All of the food was amazing, and I look forward to going back to try some of the other varieties of dumplings they have!

I went here around 9am on a Tuesday and the place was bustling with my fellow Chinese folks! That by itself told me the food was good. And in fact, it mostly was, and I will detail below: Oil splashed noodles 5/5- long handmade noodles and very flavorful. For me easily the best tasting thing I ate. Just be okay with garlic breath the rest of the day. Lamb noodles 4/5- was good and broth was rich. Though it seemed to be lacking something. Maybe some acidity? Was also very bean sprout heavy so be aware if you hate bean sprouts. Chinese hamburger 2/5- I wasn't a fan. Meat was dry and the hamburger itself didn't look like the pictures on the wall or menu. Also, it's not too obvious, but to order food, you go up to the counter and the menus are available on the table. You don't have to wait for someone to seat you at a table.

The food is excellent. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I will be bringing friends there for sure. A must for anyone who loves original Chinese noodles and dumplings.

The interior's a little outdated - but we're here for the food right? Service is about what you would expect in Chinatown - but we're here for the food right? This place is self-service. You pick up the menu at the counter, order and pay up front. The menu is in Chinese but has English subtitles. We ordered the Oil Splashed Noodle with the optional beef, and the Beef Noodle. Prices were very reasonable and portions were big. The Oil Splashed Noodle were very flavorful (5/5) and not too spicy - I would definitely get them again. However, I would pass on the beef - it appears to be cold cuts of beef shank with tendon. Some folks might like it but it's not my thing. The Beef Noodle had hearty-tasting soup, but the noodle had an alkaline taste - we probably won't get it again (2/5). We saw someone else had the pan-fried bun. Looks interesting - would probably give that a try next time.

I've always wanted to try this place! Finally got the chance to try it & it did not disappoint! Amazing noodles & good dumplings. You go up to the counter & get a menu. After you see what you want, you go order at the counter & they bring the food to you later. Good came out at a reasonable amount of time. Definitely recommend their oil splashed noodle!

After hearing many amazing things about this place, I had to come try it myself. Located in the heart of Chinatown, if you are too full afterwards it's quite convenient to take a stroll in the grocery store that's in the same plaza and run errands. I ordered the popular oil-splashed noodles, which were very tasty. My only critique would be that there was a bit too much oil for my stomach to handle, and it left a bit of a stomachache afterward when it all settled down. After all the dish is titled oil-splashed noodles, not oil-soaked noodles. All in all the flavor including the chili oil was excellent, and it was well portioned and at a very reasonable price. I'm sure there are many other dishes that are worth a try so I shall return some other time while I am in H-town!

Yummy drinks and Pasta but whatever you do don't order the bread!!!! You will never be able to forget about it. It is floating in goodness..

This restaurant is a hidden gem in the Jusgo Supermarket Center off Bellaire. I've been here a handful of times and the food has been delightful every time. Let's start with the food. My go-to is the Liangpi (Cold Noodle). I know cold noodles sounds a bit weird, but believe me, it's delicious. Their dumplings are also really good (not as good as San Dong, but close). Try the Leek Pork Dumplings, and make sure to use the chili oil sauce provided at the table. I've tried the Chinese Hamburger, and it wasn't my favorite. (I'll just stick with a normal American cheeseburger, thank you. The Chinese hamburger is nothing like a normal hamburger.) Overall, the food quality is great. The service is fine. Nothing special. Most of the staff only speak Chinese (and I'm not Chinese) so at least you know it's authentic Chinese food. You can simply order by pointing at the menu, but if you have any special requests or want the food your way (like Burger King), good luck. Lastly, the ambiance is OK. It feels relatively clean, has never been crowded when I went (at least during lunch time), and there are actually some nice large Chinese paintings on the walls. I hope you'll give this place a try! I'd give it 4.3 stars if I could go with a non-whole number rating.

Great little noodle place in Chinatown! They also sell to-go boxes of 8 baozi (steamed buns with different meat & veggie fillings), and frozen dumplings to take home a cook yourself. Staff was very friendly! The staff who was there at the time spoke limited English, but we were still able to order with ease. My dad ordered the beef noodles which he said he would not order again - not as full flavored as expected. Standout was definitely the oil spill noodles! Nice and spicy with tons of flavor. Would come here again just for this.

My favorite dishes here are the oil splashed noodles and the cold noodles. the prices are great and the portions are large. The wait staff only speaks Chinese, but you can get by with pointing if you're unable to communicate with them verbally. Their soybean milk quality fluctuates--sometimes it's good and creamy, other times it can be on the watery side. But the portion is large and comes in a bowl. The you tiao is made to order and super fluffy. Green onion pancakes, buns, and dumplings are alright. Definitely go in for the noodles!

A hole in the wall gem! I heard about this place from a tiktok and decided I had to check it out while I was in town and I have no regrets. You order at the counter and then pick a table. There's a self-serve water station. You have to come in with different expectations for service than at an American restaurant. So with that said, service is what you'd expect so I won't comment further. The food is a 10/10, especially at this price point. I'll be sure to swing by again any time I'm in Houston!

Food Oil noodles with beef: very good. The beef flavor with the noodles were very good! Carrot & glass noodles dumpling: these came hot and pretty good. We added chili oil and soy sauce and it was surprisingly good. Beef bun: this was not that good. I would just get a different dumpling

This is definitely a restaurant you want to come back to. Although the restaurant is small, the food is great and service is quick to assist in whatever you need. Here are some of the dishes I recommend. The Hot Oil Noodles were a revelation - each strand was coated in a rich, flavorful sauce that was spicy yet not overpowering, allowing the natural taste of the noodles to shine through. The heat was just right, providing a warm sensation with every bite without scorching the palate. As for the Dumplings, they were nothing short of perfection. The filling itself was a harmonious blend of finely minced meat and vegetables, seasoned to enhance the flavors without dominating them.

If you're looking for AWESOME belt noodles, come here. Their oil splashed noodles are pretty identical to the "biang biang" mian we had in Beijing. The texture of the noodle was just perfect, the seasoning with chili pepper and oil (it's got a kick but not overly spicy) and vinegar...man, that took me back to that same hole in the wall joint down a dark alley in the parts of Beijing tourist don't normally venture...and it was sublime. Speaking of hole in the wall, that's this place in all the best ways. Unpretentious, order at the counter, get served up reasonably priced but excellent quality food whenever it is ready. Their waitress was super nice to us too when we were chatting with her, and made sure we enjoyed our meal. This place is in the regular rotation, so good!

3.4. Liangpi (Cold Noodle) ($10) - 4/5 Large flat noodles that were a fun shape and chewy texture. Flavor was a mix of peanut buttery/sesame sauce flavors. Highly recommend adding chili oil and vinegar to the dish to elevate the flavors. Refreshing on a hot day. Mutton Noodle ($13) - 3/5 Soft chunks of meat in a noodle soup similar to a beef noodle soup. The broth was a bit light and unidimensional and the meat didn't really taste like mutton (tasted very similar to beef), but the meat was very soft and the noodles quite chewy, in a good way. Sesame Paste Cold Noodle ($8.50) - 3/5 Similar sauce to the liangpi but with a standard noodle shape and texture. Not bad but nothing special. Stewed Pig Ears ($8) - 3/5 Chewy and nice to have on a cold day. Would have preferred them to boil it a little longer to have it a little bit softer as well as cut a little thinner. Leek Pork Dumpling ($11) - 4/5: I think they meant Chive here instead of leek. ~15 Northern style squeezed dumplings. Filling was full and great flavor. Wrapper and filling tasted like they were freshly made that day and in store.

Nice mom and pop family shop. I think I saw this thanks to Houstonsgotspice posting on IG. Came for the noodles which definitely had great flavour and just a light heat. Also got myself a beef and onion bun and Chinese hamburger. The hamburger had nice soft shredded meat. My favourite was still the noodles- even being meatless.

The restaurant feels pretty warm in comparison to the cool air in the restroom as there's no partition blocking the hot air from filling the space. The pan-fried buns are medium sized with fluffy dough and tender meat-onion filling. The bottom is crispy and thick, which may be why the "tops" are covered with the oil that is dripping down. Blotting the tops fixes the problem. The beef noodle soup was pretty good and kind of simply flavored. I liked the smell of the bean sprouts and sliced bok choy mingling with the thinly sliced beef cuts. The noodles were chewy and filling. I added some black vinegar to brighten up the flavors after a few bites. A lot of people ate in and called in takeout orders. The family appears to work at the shop: handling cooking, taking order and prepping ingredients. They speak more often with Mandarin but can easily understand English. Cash only for orders under $10. There's a counter with small styrofoam plates for sharing and small styrofoam cups for the water dispenser. The food is served on dinnerware.

Great place for reasonable priced foods. Good amount of seating, it just depends what time you go. I'd go back again.

Was craving for the Chinese breakfast, soy bean milk, jellied beancurd, Fried dough sticks... Googled it ( reviews seems very good, but only based on their noodles?????) Disappointed!!! So disappointed ..Soy bean milk was water down and cold. Salty jellied beancurd was nasty and strange.... nothing looks like it. Chinese fried dough sticks were soggy and oily. OMG...not Happy!!! We also ordered meat and thousands eggs rice soup ... Where is meats and thousands eggs ??? So bad.... We did not want to finish the food since is not good but did not want to waste it.. We simply asked for the to go cups that they refused and asked us to finish it. What!!!??? I had to tell her it tasted so badly that I need to bring home for my husband to eat it. Sorry, hubby.....don't want to waste food.

Time for an update at Northern Pasta 北方麺食. We are no longer in the CoVid era but still inflation. So, I don't want to judge on the speed and efficiency on the services. SERVICE (0 of 0) Again, as usual, everyone's experience is the same. I don't need to repeat how bad the service was because they have staff shortage. FOOD (2 of 5) Mediocre at best. My scallion pancake 葱油饼 was tough and tasteless. I can see green onion pieces. But there was no flavor, not even salt. I had hard time chewing it. I think they missed an ingredient. It was really thin. I like it when it has thickness of a thin pizza. For the effort of delivery to my table, I gave them 2 stars. NOODLES (3 of 5) Considering it's a Chinese pasta restaurant 麺食, the noodles were fresh. I believe they made with a pasta machine in the restaurant. But the flavor of the mutton soup 羊杂汤 was weak. Noodles didn't get the flavor from the soup. I normally don't eat heavily salty food. So, this is below my standard. CLEANLINESS (4 of 5) For a restaurant with only one employee handling the front of the house, I gave them 4 stars. I wish they had a self-serve cleaning station for customers to return the trays. Overall, I am not coming back. I can't take the abuse of my wallet and body to endure another dish from Northern Pasta Restaurant. Even when my friends repeatedly asking to give them another chance. Uh no. I've gotta move on.

Wow, O WOW, their Oiled splashed noodle is a rocking TEN! I can't find one thing to fuss about other than it's texture & flavor. I didn't care too much for the bun today but let me tell you, their Oil splash noodles got me turning heads with the aroma and for sure it got me committed at my first bite You can already smell the fresh garlic & chili oil just minutes before it is brought out to your table. It smells delicious, looks delicious and tastes delicious! It's a heavenly mix a texture(& flavor) lover like me. This beautiful hand pulled noodle is topped with fresh garlic, chili oil, bokchoy, bean sprouts and you mix everything up. It's chewy(hand pulled noodles) , it's crunchy (lightly cooked Bean sprouts) and these blend perfectly with that fresh garlic, chili oil/soy sauce that will make you hum OMM for days on end. This is a must try dish in Houston. Spice wimps-it's not at all spicy

Great noddles and soups. My family and I enjoyed the beef noodle dish tremendously! The pepper on the table is hot af! But shouldn't all pepper be? The noodles were long and chewy just like you want them to be. The shop is small and quiet. Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking.

One of my go to spots in Chinatown. The interior is kind of dilapidated but it's a hole in the wall kind of place. Service is not the best and the staff isn't super friendly but the food is cheap and good. I think the owner cleans and waits the tables herself- she seems very hard working. Their chili oil noodles are my favorite. The noodles are just chewy enough and the flavor is good! I had the hamburger, it's ok and I wouldn't order again. The cabbage pork dumplings are pretty good. Good portion for the price. Trust me, Just give them a try!

Literally 2 small pieces of egg on top of this congee. Probably won't be going back to order this.

If you are from Shaanxi province of China like myself, this is the best you will get in the Houston area. I would recommend 凉皮 and 羊肉泡馍.

Go here for the hand-ripped oil splashed noodles. They have the best hand-ripped noodles in Houston! Very cheap too (less than $10), and the you tiao (fried dough) and chinese hamburger is also good here!

We've been wanting to try Northern Pasta for a while now. Every time we attempted to eat there, it's always closed. We were so excited when we arrived yesterday and saw the "open" sign and there were a good amount of customers enjoying their meals already. It's always nice to find a hole in the wall that serves delicious food without having to pay an arm and a leg. This place is very clean and the customer service was awesome. You have to order your food and pay for it at the counter before grabbing a table. They will bring the food to you once it's ready. Here is a rundown of what we ate. Chinese Hamburger (4 stars) was very yummy. The meat was really tender and savory. It's amazing with some chili oil drizzled on it, we will definitely order this again. Oil Splashed Noodles (5 stars) was fabulous. The noodles were the right thickness and perfectly chewy. Only problem is that the noodles were so long it's hard to share the dish amongst a group, I wonder if it's just one super long noodles haha. Stewed Pig Ears (5 stars) was fantastic. It's cooked it to perfection, it was tender but has a nice crunch. The flavors were nice, not too salty and the cilantro brought it up a notch (sorry cilantro haters). Pork and Chive Dumplings (5 stars) was very juicy and flavorful, the skin had a nice chewiness to it. It's great dip in chili oil with some vinegar. Green Onion Pancakes (3 stars) was pretty good. The flavor was very mild but dipped it Oil Splashed Noodles sauce took it to another level. Spicy Marinade Tofu (5 stars) was a huge surprise. The tofu was so silky and amazingly flavorful. The roasted peanuts added a nice contrasting texture to this simple dish.

We got dumplings and the oil splashed noodles. The food was so good. The oil splashed noodles were spicy to me but delicious. The noodles are homemade and the oil at the bottom is so flavorful- be sure to mix! I would definitely come back.

The hype is real. The oil splashed noodle was really good. It has a nice texture with tons of flavor. As other said, it's not really that spicy but I am pretty sure you can put more chillies to your liking. I posted the pictures before and after to show that the type of noodle comes with the order. I ordered mine with beef but this noodle is fine without it although the beef is also pretty good. I also ordered a side dish - the menu says: the pig head. It's a cold pork dish which unfortunately I don't know what it's called. And it's delicious. But I am biased. I love pork.

First time of many! We loved this placed. Food was very delicious! I had the oil splashed noodles and they did not disappoint! The pan fried buns were so tasty- first time having them! We also had the beef noodle soup and pork cabbage dumplings- amazing! Highly recommend! The staff were super sweet & helpful. Will definitely be eating here again!

Listen this is causal dining. You have to walk up to the counter to order. It's quiet tucked away and small , BUT don't let that detour you! I went in with the idea of ordering oil noodles, sadly they had had a busy weekend and were out! Whomp whomp! They were preparing the noodles as I was ordering so they would have taken a long time, but the lovely lady at the counter said if you can give me 30 minutes I'll have them ready for you!!! And let me tell you the wait was worth it!!!!!!!! Also I don't eat pork, and so I was grateful that they had plenty of beef options to try! We ordered the beef and cabbage dumplings, the beef and onion bun, and the hot oil noodles everything was amazing and piping hot!

The food is solid! Made in house, excellent flavors, plenty of food. I ordered the oil splashed noodles and some dim sum. Portions huge and food amazing.

Not really happy with the food. I ordered beef noodles soup but didn't able to get it! The Chinese burger was too salty. The oiled splash noddles is good, my mother in law like it. Service was kinda terrible because there's only one server and she can only speaks Chinese she even called out the numbers in Chinese.

Authentic Northern Chinese spot with handmade noodles, dumplings and breakfast items! You order at the counter and self-serve silverware, water, etc. I really enjoyed the liangpi (cold noodles with cucumbers and a sesame sauce), zha jiang mian (noodles with a meaty bean sauce), and dumplings (pork and cabbage). Everything was tasty and good value for your money. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Chinatown.

Pretty good food but very weird service. I came here for lunch and we got the sesame noodles and the chili oil noodles as well as pork and cabbage dumplings. The food was fresh and very well seasoned. If you like spicier food, the chili oil noodles are a must! The dumplings were super fresh and tasty with vinegar and soy sauce. The place is a little bit dirty/dingy. The employee started putting all of the chairs onto the tables even though it was 7 hours before closing time which was kind of weird. The service is a little bit abrasive but the food is good!

Five stars all the way. I haven't had such delicious food in awhile. I perused pictures and other Yelpers reviews in order to decide what I'd order. We came on a weeknight, and there was only one other table eating inside. It seemed that most people were picking up takeout here. It's a walk up counter service. So, the food was just brought to our table. But, we got our own chopsticks, bowls, and water. Anyway, we kind of ordered a lot. Lol. But, it was so worth it. Here's a breakdown of what we got: Oil splash noodles: Mildly spicy, fragrant chili oil, bouncy and chewy hand pulled noodles. By far my favorite dish. I will order this again. Chinese hamburger: Also delicious. Moist pork meat, crunchy veggies like cilantro, and decent bread. Overall, would also get this again. It was satisfying. Sesame paste cold noodles: Refreshing. I enjoyed mixing the mild sesame paste with the veggies and noodles. This would be great to eat in the summer. I did add chili oil for a little spice. Pork and leek boiled dumplings: Piping hot. I did enjoy these dumplings dipped in my chili oil, vinegar, and soy sauce mixture. However, it's not the best dumplings I've had. It still satisfied my dumpling fix, though. Overall, I was so happy to try this hole in the wall spot out. I was really full too. Lol. I can't wait to try their liangpi, pork buns, and other items. Come check them out!

Food is good! The oil noodles are phenomenal and the dumplings are delicious! Only con is the tables and chairs are a bit dirty. I came in the morning right as it opened and the tables were dirty or sticky. :( Aside from that, service was good. You order at the counter and they will bring it out to you. There is free self-serve water on the side in case you'd like any water.

I came with my family for a quick lunch. I'd seen their ads before so I've been wanting to come for a while! We ordered the Chinese hamburger, beef noodle soup, minced pork congee with preserved egg, fresh cucumber, and the pork fennel dumplings. My favorites were the Chinese hamburger, congee, and cucumber. The congee is pretty simple, not too many ingredients in it besides the rice but the flavor is delicious and very much like a home cooked meal. The Chinese hamburger is quite good too - there's like pulled pork in the middle that's a little fatty but also tender and juicy, and I'm finding myself craving it as I'm writing this review. Cucumbers were a great refreshment as well. As for the beef noodle soup, I thought it was just okay - the broth was not as flavorful as it could be and I've had a lot better beef noodle soups at other Chinese restaurants. For the pork fennel dumplings, I think they were good but it was more of a personal preference that I had realized that I don't like fennel lol so I should've ordered one of the other dumplings. Prices were also pretty cheap so overall, I'd love to come back and try some of the other menu items!

Real hand pulled noodles in houston!!! I love it. Lots of vegan and veg strain options as well. Service was good; it's a mom a pop shop so everything was quite casual.

The oil splashed noodles were actually delicious. Got a side of pig ears. Good also. The only complaint I have is the service. There wasn't any. No greetings no smile no anything. So be prepared to walk up to order, pay and get your own water. Why I gave it only a 3 star. (Based on food only) They need to work on customer service.

I loved the chili noodles, I wish I had taken a picture after I had stirred them up so you can see the noodles which were wide, long and had the perfect bite. The dumplings were fine but they could have used a little bit more seasoning to suit my taste. As other have mentioned the owners are extremely polite and willing to help you which is always a plus for a cowboy like myself. I will return!
