Tasty Noodles & Dumplings

Absolutely horrible they keep a low staff I guess just to make more money one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a very long time. They pay attention to nobody I want you to sign in but then you stand there for 20 minutes but nobody even looking at you a man actually walked out because he stood so long at the register just trying to pay his bill I would not necessarily call that I eat and – because he literally was trying to pay his bill but being ignored

10/10 — YUM! We went around 6:30 pm on a Friday and were seated right away. The food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly. We’ve been searching for good bao and dumplings in Albuquerque, and this place definitely delivered. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. We will absolutely be coming back and will be bringing extended family and friends with us next time!

I had the bao soup dumplings (very good flavor but hard to handle) the Mongolian beef (excellent) the spicy beef noodles (not bad but nothing to write home about) and the sweet bao (excellent).

Delicious!! So good and we can't wait to come back! Incredibly fast service. We loved the soup dumplings, spicy fish fillet, and cabbage. The cabbage in particular was SO good and had so much depth of flavor that we were really trying to figure out how they did it - will definitely be back soon even if just to grab some of that to go.

I ordered braised beef soup and egg rolls. The hand pulled noodles were delicious but the beef pieces were not tender as you would expect of braised meat. The pieces were chewy and gristly and not very pleasant. The broth was flavorful enough but I don't think I'd order this dish again. The egg rolls were decent if a little small. I ordered delivery so I cannot comment on the atmosphere or service.

Go here for delicious hand pulled noodles. Our whole family loves their food… some spicy some not spicy. The xiao long bao was on point and Dan Dan noodles are the best around. In a strip mall but inside is comfortable and welcoming.

Came New Year’s Eve, wonderful service that was quick to help us. I got the dandan noodles and the spice level was just enough to make my lips numb but still finish with no problems. Me and my friend shared the scallion pancakes and they were flaky and chew, absolutely perfect. My friend got the pan fried bao and I was blown away with how soft and chewy they were, and yet still had a crispy bottom. They felt like pillows. If you are looking for authentic, delicious and affordable (only 40$ for both of us) I would highly recommend this place. 10/10.

AWFUL.
Ground chicken balls that are pre-fried and set aside until you order them they toss in the sauce your ordered (orange general tso whatever). I ordered 2 general tso entree received 6-7 GIANT chicken dough balls with what tasted like canned chicken in the middle of it. The sauce was subpar and did not taste like general tso a tiny side of rice not suitable for two entrees for nearly $40 dollars, i called to complain i got talked over and my concerns about false advertising were not heeded. 0/10 i believe a frozen walmart meal is more dignified.

This review is one star because you can’t do zeroes.
Same experience as other review below. On Xmas Day, I put in an order online 4 hours before I wanted to pick it up. It wouldn’t let me pay online, said I would pay at pickup.
I got an email confirmation from restaurant with all the correct details including pick up time. Got there maybe 10 minutes after pick up time, waited in line 15-20 minutes, to be told that they had sent my order back to kitchen, to include in other orders, because I was late!! Who does that???

Then I was told at counter that only IF I paid upfront right then, would they check how much of my order was left and how long before a complete order would be ready. I left at that point.

I’ve never heard anything like this — I ordered dinner online hours before I was going to pick it up. When i arrived, I waited in line over 20 minutes — then leaned THEY DIDNT MAKE THE FOOD!!! THEY TOOK THE ORDER WITH THE TIME THEN MADE ME WAIT WHILE THEY MADE IT. And , get this!! They refused to remove the tip of left when i ordered. Liars and thieves!!!!

Ordered the sichuan spicy chicken off of the chef specials menu (without looking at the main menu), assuming it'd be dry (like the pictures you see when you Google sichuan spicy chicken), but instead it came out in a broth and looked nothing like I expected, and was also cold. There was nothing stating that it'd come out cold, despite the next thing on the menu being described as cold. When it came out they made me feel like an idiot by repeatedly pointing at the DRY Fried Spicy Popcorn Chicken on the main menu, stating that if that's what I wanted I should've ordered that instead. I agree that maybe I should've reviewed the entire menu, but they could work on the menu a bit more and add some descriptions to the chef specials menu (and maybe add Sichuan to the dish name for the spicy popcorn chicken).

Despite not liking what I saw, I did give it a try, but the chicken was tough and tasted at least a day old. I asked them to take my dish back (which they did) and I asked if I could maybe order something else, but they simply said no and continued to charge me ($18.95) for it.
