I come here often and the food is typically great. However today the Thai shrimp curry the noodles were undercooked and kimchi sauce wasn’t flavorful. Disappointed because their food is usually good. I’m not happy about driving 30mins away spending almost $20 for a bland bowl of ramen. I know the owner hopefully he’ll reach out.

I haven't had Mi & Yu in a long time and was super impressed. The staff was helpful when I was ordering and helped me order. I got ramen with fried chicken. The chicken was very favorite and made for a perfect bowl of soup for a cold day!

Flavor: *cricket sounds*It was like eating instant ramen but someone forgot to add the flavor packet. The broth had no more umami than water, and the most flavorful part of my ramen was the scallions. I got the vegetarian ramen with tofu, and my partner got ramen w/ fried chicken. She said the chicken was good, but her ramen was bland too. I spent $60+ for two people. The steamed buns were great though.

I have been going to Mi & Yu Noodles since 2016 and the food NEVER disappoints. However, I recently visited the new location and was very concerned with how dirty the place was.The bathrooms were filthy - worse than a gas station bathroom. The trashcan was overflowing. The toilet paper was on the bar next to the toilet instead of on the holder. The sink was covered in dirt and grime; I felt like there was almost no point in washing my hands since everything was visibly covered in dirt. For awareness, this is the same bathroom staff use.The dining area is also dirty. It was hard for us to find a clean table. The trash was overflowing, as was the station with the dirty trays and bowls. It seemed as though trash had accumulated throughout the day and the staff only began cleaning up after other guests were trying to figure out where to dispose their trash (it was that full!).Mi & Yu Noodle Bar is one of my favorite spots in Baltimore and I'm so glad it continues to thrive, but after today's dining experience I'm concerned about the cleanliness.
They served me powdered milk and called it "taro milk tea". This place has absolutely no idea what milk tea is. Absolutely disgusting. Don't get boba from here. The drinks taste like baby formula.

Depressing atmosphere, subdued service, strange, creamy noodles (supposedly ramen?), and bland, overcooked chicken and shrimp. And the steam buns were about as thick as a pancake. Will not be going again.

Every meal I’ve had here has been delicious! Im a fan and of the pork belly, but you really can’t go wrong with any pick here.
I drive far for this place and it’s always worth it! The duck broth is

I love this place! The Chicken Bowl with Udon and Kimchi Broth is my favorite. The Chicken Sammie is fantastic. The Mazeman Chicken (brothless) is breathless.
Recently ate at Mi & Yu Noodle Bar on our way to the lights on 34th Street in Hampden. This is a casual stop to get some really good bowls. You pick your protein (I had the fried chicken) your noodle (Pho) and your broth (Miso). The bowl was flavorful and very filling. Most of our party had to get Take Away containers.

It's only been a month since our last visit, but the new owner continues to make changes for the worse. The sambal duck broth is now bright red due to the addition of entirely too much sambal to the regular adobo duck broth. It's now too spicy to enjoy & causes even more reflux than it did the last time I had it. It's also void of any kimchi, so the crunchy textural component & more subtle flavoring are both completely missing; I haven't had the regular adobo duck broth recently, but I suspect that the latter is true for it as well. Fortunately, I had just purchased some kimchi a few days before and was able to doctor it up a bit. The protein portions have also shrunk noticeably in the past month as well, and the prices haven't decreased to reflect that. I received three smallish pieces of pork belly, where I'd previously received five decent-sized pieces. $5 for added duck yielded maybe 1/4 cup of it, and the miso beef is also a smaller portion of less-flavorful shredded beef, instead of the previous larger beef slices. It seems that in reducing costs, they also reduced the quality and quantity of the ingredients in order to afford the much-higher rent at The Rotunda. The former Charles St. location would've been more affordable, but they chose "the new hotness" instead. Unfortunately, I think that these recent cost-cutting changes, in conjunction with the higher rent will spell the end of the final Mi & Yu Noodle Bar in the relatively near-future. It was great while it lasted, but we'll very likely not be back after this. Now, I'm off to figure out how to make my own adobo duck broth. I already make better sliced miso beef than what's being served there now.

Decent place with plenty of indoor seating available. Tired the buttermilk fried chicken jajong ramen. While it was good, it did lack some kick. Somewhat hard to find free parking, but garage nearby.
