This has been our family’s favorite noodle place and we try to go at least a couple times monthly, so this review is definitely long overdue . Our kids love the chow mein, and we usually get the beef noodle soup and the tripe spicy noodles. Very Spicy but so good! They are usually busy but the tables move fast as service is quick and it doesn’t take long for the food to come out.

We came here for a casual meal and were pleasantly surprised by the flavors. I ordered the beef noodle soup (non-spicy) with medium-thin noodles. The broth was flavorful but not overly salty, which made it perfect for our toddler. The noodles had a nice texture, and they even provided a toddler utensil set, which was a thoughtful touch.

My husband had the sauerkraut and bamboo soup noodles. It was spicy but not overpowering—just enough to boost the appetite.

The staff seated us fast when there was available space.Overall, a satisfying and family-friendly spot with well-balanced flavors. We’d definitely consider coming back!

This was our first time coming here, and we were pleasantly surprised! They have a QR code you scan on your phone to place your orders, and it was very straightforward and easy to do. The service was prompt, and the food was delicious and hot. It was also reasonably priced, and we will definitely be returning for more delicious food.

Excellent Noodles in a Modern, Lively Setting.

Highland Noodles is a great local spot for a satisfying lunch, especially if you're craving authentic hand-pulled noodles. I stopped in and was really impressed with the main event and the overall modern feel of the place.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the experience:

The Noodles are the Star: The reason to come here is for the hand-pulled noodles. They have a fantastic, substantial chew to them that’s hard to find. The flavor in my Egg and Tomato noodle soup was comforting and delicious.

Atmosphere & Ordering: The restaurant has a nice, modern vibe that’s lively and seems great for groups. Ordering is super easy and efficient using the QR code system at the table.

What to Skip: The only part of the meal that fell flat was the lamb skewers. I found them to be quite dry and would probably pass on them next time.

The Verdict: This is a solid 4-star noodle house. Come for the excellent noodles and the cool, modern atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back, and next time I'm trying the spicy hot pot noodles that everyone else seemed to be enjoying!

I ordered the tomato beef noodle, which was a mistake—the soup tasted artificial and overly sweet. The service was poor, and one server was noticeably unfriendly. Worst of all, I got sick after eating—vomited several times, my urine smelled like tomato soup, and both my partner and I were extremely thirsty all night. The food quality has really declined. We won’t be returning or recommending this place.

To start, everything looked so amazing on the menu, and our food did not disappoint at all! It was exactly what we were expecting and was full of flavor. What really made me love here was the services. When we asked for a to go box for our golden buns (delicious btw!) they included a small container of condensed milk in the box for us. Thank you for a great meal and thoughtfulness!

It is really bad, the noodle is not right and the packaging for delivery is such a mess. The bowl was oily and soup is all over the package.

Came to eat here after seeing a video on Instagram that said it was a must-try. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t call it that.

The restaurant looks clean and welcoming, and we were quickly seated upon arrival. They provided utensils for our kids, which was a nice touch. Ordering was done via QR code, and our food was brought out by different servers.

We ordered the noodles, chow mein, lamb, and spicy hamburger. The noodles were tasty (super oily), and the lamb was well-seasoned. However, the chow mein had an odd flavor, and while the spicy hamburger was indeed spicy, it lacked any real flavor.

No one checked in with us during the meal to see how things were. The most disappointing part of the experience came when we paid—one server demanded a tip. When my husband declined, the server responded with, “Why do you come out to eat and not tip?” I didn’t realize what was happening and felt pressured into tipping, so I added some change to the jar just to avoid further confrontation.

Overall, the experience didn’t live up to the hype. While some elements were okay, the pressure over tipping and lack of basic service left a bad taste.

We always tip when the food and service meet a basic standard — but this experience didn’t. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional. The place has potential, but we won’t be returning.

We stop by at 5pm, it was pretty empty but it got busy quick.
The braised chicken and thin noodles was really good and a little spicy.
We got a soup, I forgot what it was but it was kinda bland.
The pork wonton was okay, it had a peanut sauce like topping sauce which I wasn't expected.
Our favorite was the cucumber salad.

We’ve been here twice so far, Ordered braised beef soup noodles, pan fried dumplings, beef and onion meat pie, sliced beef pancake roll. Very impressed with the food and attentive staff. Nice decor and comfortable seating. Happy to have stumbled upon this place. Oh, I forgot to mention, food is reasonably priced.

The sweet sour pork is overpriced, $17 for 8 pieces. Other food is a reasonable price.

I had a wide noodles craving. Got it fulfilled here. Got their spicy beef noodle soup. Spice was on point. Hit the back of the throat and burn the lips. Great flavor. Noodles were fantastic. Meat taste great. Portion was large. The soup dumplings and shu mai took forever to come. I was almost done with my noodle soup before the two dishes came. Small portion and expensive but the two dishes tasted decent.

Edit: few days later I received an advertisement through text from Highland. You use your phone to order at the restaurant. While you can stop the text easily it is still annoying I got it.

Overall, satisfied with my meal but annoyed by the text ad.
