Three Fold Noodles + Dumpling Co.

Bring back the old menu

Hate to do this — but it appears I am one of many customers complaining about the menu change and new price points.
I came here for lunch recently hoping to get my absolute favorite meal of gluten free noodles. I don’t live in LR, so when I do go there, this is what I want! I was told by the person taking my order over the phone that the entire menu had changed. I ended up getting a GF peanut noodle bowl + GF fried chicken which was a +2$ charge. I also got an order of sesame balls. My order was 26$….for ONE meal. I was actually floored. And honestly, I didn’t enjoy the new peanut noodle bowl at all. There wasn’t enough sauce and the GF fried chicken was dry. Such a disappointment for how much I paid. Sadly, unless they change the menu and prices, I won’t be returning. Also as someone who has to eat gluten free, this is a huge disappointment.

I liked the old menu better. Soup/broth was lukewarm. Chicken protein was cold (why serve cold chicken with warm noodles?)

I've been stopping here for a few years now, but they just discontinued their braised beef noodle soup, my favorite. For that reason I won't be coming much anymore.... Otherwise, love this place.

I was disappointed. 20 bucks bought a small bowl of spaghetti with a broth (almost no flavor). They sprinkled some whole peanuts on and the chicken was cold and came separately (almost like thick deli slices). You order at the counter and get your own Softdrinks. Service was quick and friendly.

I’m so sad they changed the menu—the dumplings just aren’t tasty any longer. Things were already heading downhill but recent menu changes sealed their fate for me. Now I have to get my dumpling and noodle fix when I go to Orlando. Also 5 pork dumplings with mediocre sauce and a yuzu iced tea was $18. Won’t be back.

I ordered the #1, which comes with noodles in broth, gyoza, and a protein of choice. I went with chicken across the board, hoping for a solid, balanced meal. Unfortunately, the execution left a lot to be desired.

The soup itself was mediocre at best, but what really made it unpleasant was that it was only lukewarm when it arrived. With dishes like this, temperature is everything, and instead of being warm and comforting, it just came across as flat and underwhelming. The gyoza ended up being the highlight, though even those were only “okay” — not particularly flavorful or memorable.

The biggest disappointment was the protein. The chicken that came with the dish was cold, and cold chicken simply isn’t palatable in this kind of meal. It felt careless, like no one bothered to check the temperature or presentation before sending it out.

The service was decent, and I didn’t have any issues with the staff directly. But when the food itself misses the mark in so many ways, it overshadows any positives. For the price, I was expecting a much better experience. Unfortunately, I can’t see myself coming back.

Small menu means everything is perfected and delicious. Fast, fresh, and fair priced.

Edit September 2025: lowering my original review from 5 stars to 2. I'm not sure how they managed to change their menu and make it both more expensive with much worse tasting options, but they definitely succeeded. Long gone are the days of delicious dumplings and in their place are cheap-tasting, over priced items. Congrats. You played yourself.

The food just isn’t as good since the menu changed. I’ve been coming to Three Fold pretty consistently for over 5 years and now I've removed it from my list. It’s heartbreaking.

So maybe I went in with too high of expectations and it is definitely a cool hip place to eat, and I LOVE that it was an open kitchen, but from what I had heard of this place, I was expecting some truly transcendent Asian food.
We got some very serviceable fair.
I mean it wasn't BAD, The bamboo steamers baó came in was pretty cool, I just can't see my self paying $15 for two steam buns of this caliber ever again. If these had cost maybe half the price or even a little bit more, I would probably be feeling much differently about them.
The pork belly baó was okay, The roasted peanuts were an interesting choice to pair with it, it definitely could have used some more sauce, they could have leaned into the peanut side and went some sort of fiery peanut sauce, which would have paired nicely with the steamed bun and the crisp green onion that they took the effort to cut Asian style on a angle. My personal preference would have been to lean more Korean with spicy garlic crisp, ginger and hoisin. Also larger pieces of pork belly instead of the small cubed bits. Which I understand is definitely easier to deal with, but a larger piece/ pieces cooked properly shows off the skill of the kitchen, as well as being much more dramatic.
*Shrugs*
The chicken was the better of the two for sure, but there were no standout flavors, Just some sweet chili aioli that wasn't quite potent enough to stand on its own. Although the larger piece of chicken WAS tender and not dried out. So points for that.

I don't know, the place is cool, I just can't see going back and playing the $$$ *shrugs* maybe I caught them on a bad day.

Three Fold was a staple in our household for year until the recent menu change. The new noodles are bland and gooey, and the scallion chicken is not good. The pork potstickers are still good. Total travesty that the comfort staples that every one loves are not still on the menu.

Today was my third attempt with the new menu, and I am done. The only things I will come here for are the few things like the sesame balls that haven’t been altered from the old menu. I cannot imagine how Threefold can continue to go on like this after burning all of us customers like this. I keep coming back missing the old menu, and then reality hits that they’ve ruined it.

This will be the first review I've ever written for a restaurant but I feel that I have lots to say about the menu change.

I think I have tried nearly every item on the new menu with hopes that I will find something that I really like. However, I've largely left feeling disappointed and underwhelmed after every trip. The Mala noodles are just okay and lack the mouth numbing and complex flavors that make Szechuan cuisine unique and exciting.
In regard to the new dumplings: While I don't mind the fact that they are now steamed, they unfortunately are under seasoned. I used to get the chicken dumplings every visit and they were very flavorful and overall just delicious. However, the chicken filling is now very carrot forward, slightly sweet, and under seasoned. The pattern of sweetness carries over to the scallion broth soup and scallion noodles. I think sweet and savory is an excellent combination but, in these dishes, the balance isn't quite found.

I will continue to come back in order to support Three Fold, but I do miss the old menu.
I think that change is often poorly received, however, folks can certainly be won over if the dining experience is improved. In this case, the mark has been missed.

P.S. pleaseeee don't take the Bing wrap and congee bowl off the West LR brunch menu

Why did they change the menu! Been coming since the first location opened , not the same ! Save your time

I ordered the scallion noodles with pork belly and the pork dumplings. The noodles and pork belly were fine, nothing outstanding. However, the pork in the dumplings were undercooked. I took it back to the short lady at the counter and she insisted they were cooked through. I know what undercooked pork tastes like, I wasn't born yesterday. They are going to give people food poisoning serving undercooked ground meat. I feel sick just thinking about it.
