Fresh Noodles!Gotta love the freshly made doughy goodies that I truly love, and Young's Noodle Factory is one of a couple places that I do love to frequent as this Liliha location is the easiest outside of Chinatown though parking is the biggest challenge. It's only street metered parking but many are always taken and other are a block or more away when available.All things noodles and more you can find chow mien, saimein, won ton pe, mandoo pe and more though these are the items I usually purchase and you can see it all being made which is a cool vibe to see and the prices are just so affordable it's an easy way to make any meal cheap and your own way.The service here is the basic personable staff who's expresses they're busy and that you're taking that you're interrupting their work flow but are fast and efficient with getting your noodle fix.Thank you!

This is the best place for Young's egg chow mein. It's so fresh and gets so crispy when fried!

My God lady cashier get some personality. What you want were the first words out of her mouth. Really?!? Will continue to support local businesses but not this one. And check out their hours.

I love this place. Whenever I'm on Oahu, I stop in to restock on my noodle supply. Their won ton wrappers are great...they offer the thin Hong Kong soup style. Prices are excellent and you can't get fresher!

Price is very reasonable with lots of varieties. But the lye taste of the noodles, wanton pastry, etc is just too strong. They left too much starch on the wanton pieces to prevent sticking together, but just too much.

Growing up Chinatown, I recall Young's Noodle Factory (YNF) was located on Smith Street where Little Village Noodle House currently is. YNF had see-through glass windows where you could see many staff semi-coated with flour and flour here and there. Every so often our family would patronize YNF for their egg noodles and dumpling wrappers. In the late 90's/early 2000's, YNF relocated to its current location on Liliha Street, just a few stores up from McDonald's. YNF is generally wholesale but also is available for retail. Their offerings is very simple - - several types of noodles (saimin, chow mein, e-mein) and dumpling wrappers (won ton, gau gee, pork hash/siu mai, deep fried, mandoo and lumpia). I've been here just a couple of times, but my recent visit had me looking for saimin noodles for my part-time job. It's winter in the islands and our saimin sales spiked where we needed more noodles. I was tasked to go to our regular supplier only to realize they are closed on Tuesdays. As a back-up, YNF popped in my mind, so I called them prior to driving over. Luckily, YNF was still open, so I made my way here and scored the metered parking stall just in front of their store.When I arrived, I only saw one staff and opted to speak in Cantonese to avoid any misunderstanding. I asked if I could see the product prior to purchase. Their noodles resembled what we use so I picked up 3 cases as instructed. I asked for a receipt to be reimbursed and my transaction was quick.I took the noodles to work, and it passed the test. In hindsight, I believe I got their regular saimin noodles when I should have gotten their egg saimin noodles. I did the comparison, and it lacked the yellow color. Regardless, the noodles passed the taste test. Overall, a pleasant experience at YNF, but then again, during each visit I spoke in Cantonese, so my transactions were flawless and efficient. If you even need to get fresh noodles and/or dumpling wrappers, YNF is a great option as it's conveniently located in town and the prices are reasonable. Furthermore, buying from the factory = fresh products that are made regularly. Shopping at the supermarkets may be convenient but we don't know how long the product has been sitting, as well as when were they made.

Very unfriendly service and dirty

Unfriendly service, very rude, and the inside is filthy. Would not recommend coming here

Young's Noodle Factory has been in my neighborhood for as long as I can remember. They're mostly a noodle factory but they sell to the public. You can't get saimin, e-mein, wonton, gyoza, eggroll wrappers, etc. any fresher and probably any cheaper! My old school foodie friends prefer their saimin to the big local brand that you can get in the grocery store. I grew up on their e-mein...and for some of that time, I had to hand-carry it to the Mainland, special order! There are only a couple of parking spots, but you can always find street parking. Walk in the door, look at the sign on the wall to decide what you want, and place your order. Right on the other side of the counter, workers are wrapping the products! FYI: They are currently only open 6a to 12p, Monday to Saturday. And it's cash only. If they're doing ok on such short hours, more power to them. Let's support this local/neighborhood institution so they stick around!

Can't beat the service and the price. Always highly recommended. Excellent hours too. Friendly service too.
Young's Noodle Factory makes the best egg chow mein. I've been buying noodles from them for many a year. Drove in from Pearl City this morning at 6am and was greeted with a smile and filled my order immediately. As of today they are open for business Monday through Saturday from 6am to 12pm

Best noodles to use to make cake noodles. Their egg noodle is easy to fry crispy and then put your veggies and meat on with the gravy. Their e-mein is soft when blanched and you add the shiitake and oyster mushroom. The thickness of the gau gee pee is just right not too thick. The price is right you get your bang for your buck. Remember when they were on smith street 25 years ago.

Great Chinese noodles and Won Ton wrappers. I especially like their Egg Chow Mein noodles. Much better than what you can find in the supermarkets. I buy 3 pounds of noodles at a time. It lasts a couple of weeks in the refrigerator and can be frozen if you need it to last longer. Prices have gone up a little but always a good buy.

So reasonably priced for purchasing fresh noodles or pis. Prices are listed on the wall to the left when you enter and the folks at the front will help you right away.My only thing is that I don't know the differences between all of the various noodles types so it would be nice to have some samples out or maybe pictures up. I suppose they primarily service restaurants so walk ins with small orders don't make up too much of their business.I didn't see any parking lot but there was a single street stall right in front of their building (metered parking, but you'll be fast!). I believe it's cash only.
