Tasty Noodles & Dumplings

Best dumplings & bao buns in ABQ! Seriously great food & great quality. The handmade noodles are amazing. Service is great.

I enjoyed my food a lot. Definitely over ordered, the portions are quite large! The pork scallion dumplings were very good. Also enjoyed my black garlic oil ramen. The pan seared bao buns were also good.

Authentic beef noodle soup and pan-fried dumplings made with homemade dough. It was a pleasant surprise during my visit to the area.

Where do I start. This restaurant says it in the name - Tasty Noodles & Dumplings. I have been in search of a tasty and less salty menu for years. Everything I have ordered on the menu is exceptional in presentation and taste. The Sam-sum Dumplings (panfried), Veggie Spring Rolls, Sesame Chicken/hand pulled noodles(Wow!), Pan Fried Baos, General Tso Chicken, Black Garlic Oil Ramen. Wow! Wow! Wow! Every item is made fresh to order and hot. Be warned, don't bite into Dumplings (expect to wait 15 minutes), Rolls and Baos too quickly - if you value your tongue. Without reservation, I give Tasty Noodle & Dumpling my thanks for every meal my family and I have had the privilege of eating at this true to taste restaurant. 5 Stars! Based on taste -Salt Shaker Rating of 5 (Low Salt).

It’s such a pleasant surprise finding this restaurant. I wasn’t expecting the taste till the stirred cabbage was served! Wow! So flavorful and fresh and tastes so good! ( it literally beat every Chinese restaurant in Atlanta serving this/similar dish! And the noodle soup was great too! Noodle is very chewy and the soup is flavorful with layers.

This place was TASTY! My boyfriend and i got soup dumplings, pork bbq baos, and orange chicken with white rice and everything was delicious. Service was great. We will be coming back.

Everyone was really nice here, very good environment. Food came out really fast. Everything we ordered was great. Dumplings, bao buns, noodles and cucumber salad were awesome.

The food was not only good but the servers were excellent. Extremely nice and welcoming, they made sure we were enjoying the food, talked to us and made it feel homey. The food was fresh and hot when we got it, did not take long to get. Amazing place all around. Will definitely come back

Restaurant was busy at 7 on a Friday, but it wouldn't have felt loud save for a single guest at the exact table next to us. Fun luck. Floor, table, and ladies bathroom were clean. Chairs were cushioned, and we could see noodle dough being pulled thin and flat through a machine from across the restaurant behind plexiglass. On occasion, I got an unpleasant whiff of cigarette smoke, but it was inconsistent, so I suspect it was coming from the other side of the wall that our table was up against. Knew exactly what I wanted to order - the shrimp, chive, and egg dumplings (pan fried) with the garlic eggplant, side of fresh noods instead of rice. The service was great, and the food slapped. Dumpling craving fulfilled, and plenty leftovers to enjoy tomorrow! Super friendly service. Will return and try other dumpling options at Tasty.

I remember when this place used to be Tso's. It's been a minute since I found myself here. I've been really looking for some good Chinese food lately. I figured it was nearby why not. It wasn't until I arrived at the restaurant I discovered they had a new name. I pondered if it was worth the gamble. After seeing the great reviews I thought why not. I ended up ordering the chicken fried rice and an order of the spring rolls. The staff was really friendly and the place looked really nice. They had my food out fairly quickly. I had to make one last stop on my way home so I didn't get that first bite until about 15 minutes later. The spring rolls were really good. I really loved the way they it was cooked. It was so fresh I really enjoyed it. I moved in on the chicken fried rice. It was pretty good. The chicken was nice and juicy. The rice had a nice mix of stuff it was so good! Overall I really enjoyed the food. I think next time I may try the dumpling. They looked really good on the photos I'd seen. I'll definitely be returning!

I've been here a few times and I've liked it well enough to introduce friends to the place. It isn't the cheapest place to get this sort of food, but what you get is always very good and plentiful. Hand-pulled noodles used to be a hard thing to find even on the left coast, so it's a treat to have a place where one can find them done well right here in Burque. There's only been a single server working the lunchtimes when I've visited, but these folks have been able to take care of the entire room pretty efficiently. It's a pleasant enough room in a nearly inconvenient strip mall location that doesn't have anything really to recommend it - parking lot can be a little bit of a caution, so take your time.

Food was great! We really enjoyed the pork egg rolls, pork steamed dumplings, xio long bao soup dumpling, Mongolian beef, combination fried rice, northern sweet and sour pork, and scezchuan shrimp. The appetizers came out quickly and it was as hot. The service was great with the waiters checking in on us frequently. Now the food was exceptional with a smokey taste to the fried rice and sweet and sour pork. The best part of the experience was the soup dumplings! The restaurant was quiet and we could hear the kitchen preparing our meal. We loved the whole experience and are looking forward to our next visit!

I could cheerfully eat Tasty Noodles and Dumplings' dumplings every day. The one we tried was fresh, plump, and stuffed with a delicious pork filling. We also tried the Singapore noodles with shrimp. This was tasty but needed a heat warning, like some of their other dishes had. I'm looking forward to trying their ramen, more dumplings, and some of the items from their traditional menu.

Once upon a time, Tasty Noodle was my favorite Chinese place, Tsai's. They have since changed business concepts, but I believe it's still the same people involved. I went with some friends to celebrate lunar new year and enjoy dumplings. I think that's really where it's at and the best offerings they have in my opinion. We really enjoyed the barbecue pork bao and the spicy wontons. The spicy wonton in particular has a really fantastic sauce, hot chili heaven. The service was on the slow side, but you could tell that they were very busy and of course it was a holiday so understandable. It's also clear that they get a ton of takeout orders.

We stumbled upon this amazing restaurant by Chance the original restaurant we wanted to go to was closed so I jumped on yelp and found an alternative. Luckily, the pics looked amazing and the place was open! Since it was Christmas Eve, I saw a few members of the wait staff's family eating here so I just knew this place was going to be bomb. The restaurant had a good amount of tables and felt very welcoming. We were greeted with menus right away. I was starving and knew what I wanted so I put an order of spring rolls and the xiao long bao, which take about 15 mins or less. While waiting I got a Thai tea which was great. The flavor of the eggrolls were so good and fresh, I didn't even need the sauce. I also really liked the flavor of the bao except I kept being in such a rush to get another I'd break it and spill all my soup. For our entrées, my mom got what I thought was going to be a basic chicken noodle soup and I got the spicy sesame sauce, Ramen... Man did that chicken noodle soup fool me, that broth was so tasty and flavorful. I kept reaching over to her bowl for a taste lol. My Ramen was delicious as well, I really liked the spice and the bok choy. This place is really a hidden gem and I'm glad we found it because we cannot wait to return.

Such a great find in Uptown! Upon arrival, we were seated and drink orders were taken. The staff was nice and answered all our questions. My wife and I were craving dumplings and bao. This was the perfect spot to satisfy our craving. We ordered the pork bao buns, vegetable dumplings, pork and veggie dumplings, xiaolongbao, Szechuan Dan Dan noodles and wonton soup. The wonton soup was flavorful and served with cilantro, seaweed, green onion. The wonton are handmade and had a great texture and size. It's definitely a shareable size. The pork bao buns were absolutely amazing and came out so hot and fresh. We loved the flavor of the slightly sweet, yet savory meat and bun. Same with the dumplings, they were served incredibly fresh and relatively quick for the level of quality we were served. I had a hot tea to pair this all with. Lastly, we ordered the sesame seed balls which are deep fried. They were served freshly fried and super hot. Very yummy and toasty. Overall, the location was cozy and medium sized. I can see myself bringing a large group here. I would've enjoyed louder music because it was a bit quiet in there. Looking forward to my next trip!

My group visited this restaurant for dinner Sunday night before a work event. We had a group of 6 and walked in to a busy place with full tables, staff going back and forth, and other behind the counter making dumplings behind plexiglass so we could all watch. It took a few minutes to have some tables put together for my group. I deducted a star for service. Service was slow, in part due to other tables and another large party that arrived before us. But it took a while to get the server to come back and take our food order after getting drinks. They also forgot one of our dishes and I couldn't get the attention of the server and had to walk up to the counter to get the food ordered. Our group tried a variety of things. They did run out of battered chicken so a few had to change their order. But I heard murmurs of food enjoyment from those who had jasmine tea, those who tried thai tea for the first time, from the chicken with vegetables, and the sesame chicken. Other compliments were for the vegetarian dumplings and scallion noodles. I tried a red bean bun, the scallion pancakes, and the xiao long bao. The red bean bun was large, fluffy, and had a great but not too sweet red bean filling. The scallion pancakes were crispy, flakey, and filled with chopped scallions. The winner of the night was definitely the xiao long bao. I've had others at various dumpling places and these might have been the best I've had. The dumpling wrapper was thin with a slight chew. The pork filling was flavorful and tasty but my goodness that soup broth was just delicious. It was so rich and full of flavor I savored every single drop. I had a few leftover and took them back to my hotel. They warmed up just fine in the microwave and I had another moment to enjoy dumplings and soup before leaving town. I will absolutely stop back in next time I'm in town.

Open on Christmas Day, all the employees seemed happy to be there and to serve us! The interior was decorated for the holiday and also included some real plants. Our pork egg rolls were crispy and tasty, the orange flavored chicken was crispy rolls of shredded meat with a tangy orange sauce, the broccoli beef was the best I've had; the meat was so tender and had a smoky flavor to it! The homemade noodles were perfectly cooked. I can't wait to try other dishes!!

First Asian restaurant we checked out upon arriving NM and glad we found this restaurant. Clean, bright, atmosphere upon entering. Was greeted right away. It's a bit chilly inside, but was fine at the same time. Everything we ordered was very good and decently priced. We got the General Tso with delicious hand made noodle,, Mongolian Beef with rice, Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) and Samsum dumplings and, Cream Cheese Wonton. One of the best soup dumplings we've had in a long while. Very well flavored and freshly made. Well portioned. Will definitely come back and highly recommend

Tasty Noodles and Dumplings is sooooo good. I came here on numerous occasions and every time they were all amazing! The wait time is reasonable and the staff is super friendly. I ordered the Combination Ramen and I loved it! The ramen itself was very tasty (much like the name of the shop) and the chicken and pork it came with was well cooked and flavorful. I ordered the Custard Bao as well and it was amazing!! The custard was sweet and creamy and I liked it a lot! I definitely recommend this place for it's Xiao Long Bao as well. Must try!!!

Ordered the Mongolian beef sub hand pulled noodles and the pork bao buns. Mongolian was so delicious. You can taste the quality and authenticity. Bao buns were good! I ordered the crispy bao on the bottom and steamed on top. So many things I want to try here, can't wait to come back. Service was quick and friendly.

we ordered 3 different noodle soups: lan zhou beef noodle, spicy lan zhou and spicy braised noodle soup; besides that we also ordered pan fried dumpling and onion pancake. the lan zhou noodle soup is ok, the spicy braised soup pretty bad, the onion pancake is so thick, not enough green onion plus you can taste the stale flour, the pan fried dumpling is decent consider not many asian community live here. We are from CA with so many good asian foods.

Hand pulled noodles. Amazing dumplings made to order. And flavor that can't be beat! 1000% recommend. It's always reassuring to see that workers at a restaurant also eating their own food for lunch. So, for starters: the shareables menu. Got the wantons in chili oil, and it was delicious. Probably my new favorite. We also tried the pork egg rolls, and egg drop soup (that bowl was huge! I've got leftovers). Everything was phenomenal and I can't wait to try other options next time. For the meal, we decided to try one of the dumpling orders- the second on the list. The menu specifically states that dumplings are made to order and take at least 15 minutes after ordering. You can do steamed or fried. We tried fried. Was not disappointed. Super tasty. Lastly, we ordered two dishes. One was beef and broccoli with rice- good flavor, also freshly made. And the spicy sesame sauce ramen soup with beef and hand pulled noodles. I'm in love. With soup. It was perfection. It was also fun to watch the actual creation of the hand pulled noodles, the restaurant is very nicely spread out and clean. I'm glad we were in the mood to sample a little of everything, because now I have leftovers.

Overall: Tasty Noodles & Dumplings is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Albuquerque. Food: 4 I've tried an assortment of things from here. The dumplings and baos are always excellent, but the entrees are hit or miss. Eggplant with Garlic Sauce: This dish is always a hit with everyone. The sauce is savory with just a hint of heat. Scallion Oil Noodles: These look pretty plain but are very savory. Noodles have a good bite. Mapo Tofu: I'm not usually a big fan of this dish, but their version was good. It was savory with a hit of spiciness. Chicken entrees: I've tried the orange, sesame, and General Tso's chicken. Unlike most places that use battered and fried pieces of chicken, these feature some large golf sized meatballs. Although tasty, I prefer actual pieces of chicken to the chicken meatballs that they use. Service: 4 The servers are always patient while we try to decide what we want and attentive. Ambiance: 4 The restaurant is located in a small plaza but there is usually always parking. It is small but I've never had to wait for a table except during really busy holidays.

Omg, yes. This place is excellent. We tried the hot and sour soup and the spicy edamame as appetizers. The soup was perfect. We had kung pao tofu that was delicious, and the vegetable dumplings were delightful. Our friends loved the kung pao chicken and the chicken dumplings. We had the red bean bao which were beautiful as well as tasty. The service was great and the portions were generous. We had some time to kill before going to the airport and took a chance on this one. It was a great find!

The food was amazing, service was fast, and restaurant nice. And, there was ample parking. We have pork bao, red bean paste bao, eggplant with chili sauce, wontons with chili sauce, and green onion pancakes. Every was cooked perfectly. I especially liked the chili sauce and bao.

Very helpful staff. You can watch them pull the noodles. Absolutely delicious food. The dumplings and Dan Dan noodles are amazing!

We stopped for Lunar New Year last year and we weren't disappointed. The service was attentive and friendly! The food was great and I would recommend coming here if you are in the area.

They have freshly made dumplings and baos. The Xiao long bao ( not pictured) so super juicy, we ended up order second. The braised beef noodles were flavorful and the noodles bouncy and with a nice chew. The broth was balanced too. My husband didn't enjoy his Lanzhou ramen. The broth is not the clear broth that we are used to. I tasted and it was definitely not authentic in my opinion. Nevertheless, we had a good meal and I would totally recommend trying their dumplings and baos.

Dumplings were the best experience. Would return for just the dumplings. Service was fast and efficient.

I have visited in the past when it was "Tsais". We had visited when they were remodeling - could not get in. We finally made it back! Wow are we glad we did. This experience was outstanding. Service fast and efficient. Kung pao chicken was fantastic! I wasn't fond of the vegetable egg rolls they served, but they were crisp, which I do like. We can't wait to come back.

Located in a Small strip mall but Excellent food. The dumplings were one of the best I've ever had and I have traveled.

4.5 stars! What a lovely meal and the food hot my spot. I was craving for something a lil more authentic Chinese than your typical sweet and sour chicken/beef broccoli that one can get from any typical American Chinese joints and this place hot the spot! I had a chance to try their Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) and the garlic and pepper shrimp and I really enjoyed my meal! These are a little harder to get at normal other Chinese places..so I was so glad to eat there. The food portion was good. A dish can probably meet your 1.5-2 meals of you aren't too hungry. What I also appreciated more was the owner's helpfulness and such sense of welcoming to his customers. He definitely knew whom his regulars were and many of whom he had casual/conversations with re: how they've been. He was also very attentive...checking up on my table, giving me extra napkins, refilling my drinks and everything without me needing to ask for it! I really enjoyed the food there and am hopeful to try more dishes there. I honestly wished they offered more authentic Chinese dishes though but so far..my first time eating there..I'm hooked, service and taste wise! I can't wait to stop by there again!

Great place to go with a group so that everyone can try a little bit of everything. Service very pleasant and food comes out as it's made ( so plan on sharing, otherwise someone's going to be hungry staring at everyone else eating). My personal favorite is the bok choy with garlic sauce. I could eat that entree every day. The bao, dumplings, hand pulled noodles are all really good.

Cute place, very nice staff, personally food was ok. There was someone making the noodles from scratch, was impressive to watch

One of the best places to find mapo tofu and chile wonton were delicious! I would definitely come back again. Each item was super flavorful and they were quick with the orders too. I would come back again if it was closer to the west side. Also tried the soup dumplings and it was warm and tasty as well!

My takeout dinner was very disappointing. Beef noodles was all noodles and the meat it did have was tuff to eat. The calamari was so tuff you could not even bite it

Their dumplings are my favorite in town, I have not tried the Ramen yet but it looks like a popular option. The service is always friendly as well!

I tried Tasty Noodles and Dumplings and it was great! I highly recommend their bao and dumplings. It was refreshing to have fresh bao buns. Originally from the Bay Area, I miss getting dim sum and enjoying fresh dumplings. We tried the BBQ pork bao buns and the pork and scallion buns. Simply delicious! Served in a steamer basket, they were savory and sweet and delicious. I ordered shrimp fried noodles for my entree and my husband had the dry fried chicken. Both plates were tasty, but I will be honest - the noodles were delicious but had very little vegetables and a few small shrimp. It ended up tasting very dry. The same is the way for the dry fried chicken; no veggies excepted the Thai chilis. We did have to ask for chili oil. Not much selection of sauce at the table- no hoisin, chili oil, just soy sauce. I recommend this place highly for the bao buns and dumplings.

I really try to give yall an honest review, so I'm going to do my best. First, we entered and we were seated quickly, but the air conditioning wasn't really working, it was REALLY hot, plus there was a slight smell like there was an electrical issue. We were waited on quickly, and they were nice. First, I had the shrimp tempura, which was really tasty, good batter, shrimp done well. Then I had the chive, egg and pork dumplings. I can't pin down the flavor, but it was really pungent. I don't really like them. The accompanying garlic sauce was tasty, and hubbys pork dumplings were pretty good. Last, sweet bean bao. The sweet bean paste, quite tasty. However, the ratio of sweet bean too dough was off and it was doughy, which was kinda disappointing. Truly, it was a hit and miss for us, maybe it was because I was hit with the heat and the electrical odor that it put me off. But, not sure if I want to give it another chance.. But will say the staff is friendly and attentive.

This place was really disappointing. We were excited to try it based on the reviews and the fact that they had hand pulled noodles. The waiter was incredibly rude from the start. They brought the wrong food and when we let him know, he acted like it was our fault. When we finally got the correct food, it was terrible. All 4 dishes were disappointing. The orange chicken was balled up pieces of meat, battered and fried. The chicken and vegetables dish was so pale and bland. The chicken had a weird squishy texture. I couldn't even eat 1/4 of three dish. The Mongolian beef tasted just ok but the meat also had an odd texture. The least terrible of the dishes was the Fried noodles with chicken. The chicken was also squishy but the noodles tasted just ok. We paid extra for hand pulled noodles on the dishes. While eating, we saw them making noodles with a machine. So, so much for hand pulled noodles. The entire experience was not good and I'd never go back. Between the rude waiter and the terrible food, I'd give zero stars if Yelp would let me

So. Good. We stuffed ourselves on Bao and Dumplings and it was glorious. Seriously eat here. Get the pan Fried Pork Bao and Dumplings. Trust me.

Could barely decide what to try first, but settled on the xiao long bao and some fried vegetable dumplings. The XLB were gorgeous. Flavorful broth, generous filling that was SO gently packed into the super thin bao skin. The meat held together but was not compacted at all. Absolutely burned my mouth in my eagerness to slurp them up and was transported back to Shanghai. Veggie dumplings had beautiful lacing and were again generously stuffed with meaty, flavorful mushrooms, tofu and cabbage. Loved the dipping sauce. Cozy atmosphere, attentive service, and very much seemed like a family affair. Cannot WAIT to come back and try the pulled noodle dishes. I think I also saw they have cold noodle soup in the summer? I've been dying for that since I last had some in 2008!

I really liked the noodles! Definitely try the veggie dumplings. I think I'll get them steamed next time though. I also loved the scallion pancake. Service was very fast and the meal was filling and affordable

The food is delicious and they make it from scratch. I highly recommend trying the dumplings and bao. The scallion oil noodles are a favorite of mine.

I wish I could say I liked their food more. I can tell it's high quality, freshly cooked and piping hot when served to me when I ate in, and handmade noodles and dumplings. So I recommend it for those reasons. The vegetarian dishes I've gotten just haven't been flavors I enjoyed much. I also was hoping the orange tofu would have vegetables too, but maybe that's typical for that dish. The vegetable dumplings have spicing I don't enjoy, and I often love veggie dumplings. I remember the bao being good the first time I got takeout.

Excellent , efficient and friendly service . The shrimp fried rice had a sesame seed oil aroma and it was satisfying. The XLB was delicious and succulent. The ambience is lively and warm.

Again...perfection. If you haven't been, do it! Hits all the notes with BIG flavor! Grubhub it, or dine in-you won't be disappointed.

Amazing. Great great place to get your noodle-jones in....trust me. I'm sure their other dishes are equally good...looking forward to exploring more in the near future.

I have been complaining about the availability of good Chinese food in this town, for years. I now have to stop. This place is fabulous. Chef Wu is from Chengdu, which is, in our opinion, the home of the best food. Hubby had the Dan Dan noodles and they were spot on, even the appropriate amount of hua jiao. I had the eggplant with garlic sauce, my favorite Sichuan dish. Perfection! It came out of the kitchen scorching hot, the sauce was wonderful. One of my favorite things about food in china is, it comes out lava level of hot. Next trip we may try the baozi or jiaozi which are made in house, to order. Who needs Din Tai Fung? The noodles are fresh as well. Everyone should try Tasty Noodle and Dumpling if they're tired of Americanized Cantonese food.

If you're looking for something seriously tasty, you've gotta come get some of this deliciousness, y'all! The flavors are on point, everything is made with love, and it's just one of those meals that hits the spot. Whether you're a foodie or just hungry, this is the kind of comfort food you'll keep coming back for. Trust me--your taste buds will thank you!

Was not expecting to love this place as much as we did. So so good. So fresh. Great service. Fun ambiance as it was decorated for Christmas. But the food.... Just amazing. So fresh. Hand pulled noodles and baos especially. And very inexpensive. Will be coming back!

The cucumber salad was the best I've ever had! The shrimp wontons in chili sauce were also

This was a good stop on my way through Albuquerque I ordered online and when I got there it was ready to go. Got some pork and scallion bao and custard bao and stopped at a park for a picnic. They were really good. I want to try their other dishes

As stated in my profile, I am always seeking out the best Won Ton Soup. Tasty Noodles and Dumplings have perfected it. The broth is definitely a house made stock that is so savory and flavorful. The won tons are meaty and folded beautifully. We also had Soup Dumplings, BBQ pork Bao, chili wok tossed edamame, and scallion pancakes. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The service is also top notch. They are so kind and take care to ensure your drinks stay full. Helps with eating spicy like we do! We ended up ordering a 2nd bowl of won ton soup because we loved it so much! We will be back for sure.

Great hand pulled noodles and they have some of the best vegetable dumplings in town.

Best dumplings I've had in ABQ so far. We didn't even get to try the pork ones because my friend doesn't eat pork (I was so bummed). But everything we tried was excellent! Definitely going to come back!
