There are a couple of things to get past on your first visit but it's well worth it. Firstly, expect long wait times, as the noodles are boiled freshly in front of you and the bowls are made to order. It's worth the wait. I got the szechuan beef noodle soup and it hit. They have a microwave safe container. I put the leftovers in the fridge and heated it up for dinner. It's the priciest place in the food court but is by far the best. It deserves to be somewhere better. Coming back as we grow into winter and days get colder.Oh yeah, the other thing to get past is that you have to order at Dragon Bowl. Hint: it's the register door next door.
The food was alright. The service was ok for the most part except one lady who was the rudest ever and ruined everything.

Really good biang biang noodles - not a super common dish around Boston but nice to find another place (the other is Gene’s Flatbread) where you can get this delicious staple dish. A little pricy for a food court stand, but the food is fresh and the portions are generous.

I ordered Japanese ramen special noodles. After eating a little, I found a hair in it. Very disgusted by it.

By far the best restaurant in the Longwood Galleria. The noodles are cooked fresh in front of you and all the food is extremely flavorful. My favorite is #1 on the menu, the noodles are thick and the broth is spicy. Note that service can be slow, almost 30 min at peak hours, but the wait is well worth it.

Great food but very slow service. I waited 1/2 hour for dumplings and it wasn’t very busy. If you have a small window for lunchtime, think twice about choosing this place.
I'm going to say it again for the people in the back....you are shortchanging yourself if you don't at least try this place. It's truly a gem tucked away in the most unsuspecting spot. I love the traditional Japanese Ramen bowl (#23) tonkotsu with pork. SO GOOD!!! I'd post a picture but I wasn't patient enough to take the picture before I started eating. :)

One of few places in Boston with fresh hand pulled noodles. There was only one or two people working here making everything to order, and while the wait is long it is worth it.

Phenomenal food at a very reasonable price. It's not always clear when they're open, but when they are, their food is always worth the wait.

This place offers insanely authentic Chinese food & definitely reminds me of my parents/grandparents cooking… the spicy beef noodles, dumplings… everything’s amazing ? Truly a gem!

When I think of Longwood, I think of Noodles King. What a gem! This was my first time here in 2 years but I always think of it the few times a year I find myself in the area.We got the #1 Xian hand pulled biang biang noodles with pork. This was probably my least favorite of the things we got -- the noodles were rather thick and doughy. They are pulled fresh for every order but the quality seemed a bit off today. I've heard that the biang biang noodle quality is inconsistent here. The pork was $2 extra ($13.98 total) and was generous in quantity. The fattier parts were nice and tender, but some other parts were a bit mealy/grainy. The sauce is a vinegar-based sauce which grew on me (though not spicy as claimed). Overall it was a lot of food and a hearty dish, but the noodle quality was not great today.We also got the #8 spicy Sichuan beef ramen ($13.98). I thought it was strange that they called it ramen but they do literally use the yellow curly ramen noodles. This was really good. The beef was tender, the soup was hot and savory, and the noodles soaked it all up well. The soup was a bit oily and it was hard to escape the oil when drinking it, but it was overall a delicious dish.Lastly we got the #22 Shanxi pork bun ($5.98). We weren't sure what to expect but it was quite a massive "side" dish. The bun part was crunchy on the outside and softer where it soaked up some pork flavor. The pork was really tender. They made a great duo next to the powerful flavors of the noodle soups.It was a lot of food for $36 (seems like they don't take tip?) and we had plenty of leftovers that kept really well for dinner (#22 in the toaster oven is a crispy delight and #1 soaks in all the flavors). I've also gotten #21 in the past which is a massive pork bun beyond what I would ever expect for $3.98 in this area! Juicy meat inside and soft steamed bun... I'll be looking forward to the next time I find myself in the area!
A great place for tourists!!
