It's good
The food is great. The service is ok, however do not go within an hour of closing time. We have ordered the appetizer with our drink order and it has arrived after our dinner three times now. Additionally, we arrived at 8:35 on a Sunday evening and they close at 9:30. The kitchen employees were cleaning with chemicals starting at 8:40; the floors were being swept and mopped and the chairs flipped up on the tables as we ate at 8:50. Our waitress was balancing closing/cleaning with waiting on our table (no re-fills in that she didn’t have time to come by). We left at 9:15 and had to be careful of the slick floors.
We traveling through Kansas and made a stop at this restaurant. We were so glad we did. The homemade noodles were excellent. The best part is that we got to watch them make them. Our server Eisen was attentive, informed and efficient in getting our food to us. I can’t wait to go back.
The food is SO good! Definitely worth giving it a try!
One of the best tasting ramen and fried rice places, never packed and always fast service.
Amazing food! Never had an issue here. Pretty busy at peak hours, so you might have a wait.
First experience dining in this restaurant and I wasn’t “wowed”! It wasn’t terrible by any means but I was expecting a more authentic dining experience which may have been where I went wrong. Firstly, Atmosphere and service were amazing. The servers/hosts were nonstop smiling and it was wonderful. Our server was very attentive to us. The food, on the other hand… was not great, in our opinion. We ordered the beef gamo, beef scrolls, dandan noodles, and minced pork paste noodles.
Starting from Beef Gamo: The beef was quite salty and a bit tough to chew for us. Flavor was great however just too salty for me. 6.5/10
Beef Scrolls: the beef is the same exact as the beef in the beef gamo. Tough, same taste, and too salty. The pancake was nice and flaky though. Flavor was good. I’d order this one again though, it was quite tasty as there wasn’t too much meat so it was too salty and the pancake enveloping the ingredients balanced out the saltiness. 7.5/10
Dandan Noodles: I ordered mid-round noodles and boy, for $15, I probably got 8-10 strands of really thick noodles! Which was my fault for ordering mid-round noodles. The noodles were cooked to perfection though. Al dente and chewy. The overall dish was seasoned great however it was super dry… I finished my noodles and had a bunch of ingredients left since the noodles to the “sauce” ratio is a bit off. A bunch of meat was leftover. I think next time I won’t be ordering such thick noodles. It was hard to grab with chopsticks and like I said, 8-10 bites and the noodles were gone. Sauce had balanced notes of peanut and spice and saltiness though. Not sure I’d order this dish again. 7/10
Minced Pork Paste Noodle: this dish’s taste was so much better and my friend had ordered classic noodles. She said it was still a bit thick but it was more manageable to consume. She had more noodles in her plate, it seemed, and wasn’t gone in just a couple bites. The sauce was sweet and salty. No hint of spice. Great flavor! Noodles were again, al dente. For some reason though, her dish was also very dry. 8/10
Overall: I’d give this place 3.85/5 stars. Could use an improvement here and there. Not a bad place to eat for sure, but coming from someone who consumes a lot of these dishes frequently, it did not WOW me, however the star of this restaurant is the hand pulled noodles which they did great on!
Updated Review in response to restaurant’s reply: I went to look at their online menu and it does indeed say muffin for their beef and pork gamo! That is my fault for overlooking that thinking it would be something else! For how professional of a response/reply the restaurant gave, I will most definitely go back and try them again! I think this time I’d get thinner noodles to get a better experience for their dry noodle dishes and I can get thicker noodles for their soup dishes.
Best noodles ever
Noodles were delicious and loved the robot.
We moved to Lake of the Ozarks and miss Magic Noodle so much. There is nothing that compares here. Not even close. Please open a restaurant here.

The staff has been very nice. I usually order several dishes for the fam. I like the reusable bags they give with my order. So fun! Food is awesome. Silence in our home is not often, but everyone digging in to dinner. That’s how you know it’s great food

Food was tasteless. No flavor. Frozen egg rolls. Sorry I just couldn’t eat it. But the server was a real sweet girl. I felt bad.
