Definitely take out, if you can. If you're dining in, avoid Saturday nights! We came in at 5:30pm on a Saturday night. The restaurant was about half full, but patrons kept coming in and it got busier and busier. The service was extremely slow. There were two nice women taking orders, serving, and busing tables. It took us a long time to get our menus, take our order, get our food, and finally pay. It was a little stressful and chaotic, with patrons wondering what was going on with the slow service, unsure if they were supposed to order and/or pay at the counter or wait at their table. It smelled like a terrarium where we were sitting, dank. While we were eating, a group of 15 tourists came in for a Chinatown food tour. Yummy Yummy Noodles seemed very well-prepared for them, though.
We got the beef brisket wonton noodle soup, fish ball noodle soup, and beef and vegetable lo mein. Everything was good. The soups weren't heavy and the beef brisket was very tender. It was nice that you could choose the type of noodle, we both had the wide egg noodles. The lo mein was exactly what I had hoped! The beef was flavorful and tender and the vegetables looked fresh. We could see that the carrots weren't peeled, but that's fine, assuming they were washed well.
Definitely good value, the dishes were affordable. The dine in experience was very off-putting, though. If we come back, it'll definitely just be take out!
