Noodle Eighty Eight Springfield

Went for the first time and ordered kimchi noodle, scallion pancake, and dumplings.The dumplings were pretty good. I could not taste any kimchi in the noodle dish. That was super-disappointing. Will make my own. Unfortunately, the scallion pancake was pre-made, frozen and doughy, with virtually no vegetables inside of it. Awful. They should take it off the menu. Do not recommend.

I had a disappointing experience. There were only 3 families, including me, on a Sunday evening (7 pm). They brought my food and never returned -- I had to motion for her. I didn't have high expectations because many dishes are under $10, but I was still disappointed. I ordered Dan Dan noodles and Roti Canai. The roti came out first and the roti itself was extremely oily, to the point that there was oil on the plate. It wasn't flaky; it was rather flat and saturated with oil, to the point that I had to squeeze it between my napkin to release some of the oil. The dipping sauce was very good. The Dan Dan noodles came with very little minced pork. It came out so hot that it was clear it had been microwaved. It was steaming. There was a huge mound of what tasted like store bought, boxed linguine tossed in a spicy sauce with pickled radish and a small portion of minced pork on top. I told the server that there was very little meat in relation to the portion of noodles. Her response was to say it was a starter dish and that if I wanted more meat she could bring me a side for an extra $2.00. I declined and told her to consider it as feedback: As a starter dish, don't serve a full mound of noodles and a tiny amount of minced pork. Instead, aim to make the amount of noodles proportional to the amount of meat so that when customers take a bite they have both. As it was, I had a piece or two of meat to a mouthful of all noodles. She shrugged and walked off, so I asked for a to go box and my check.

The food has a very basic taste. It's not terrible, but it's also not good either. Decent is the right word. It tastes like something my teenage kids put together with groceries I brought from Acme. Admittedly, I usually go to Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House, which is a similar price point and they make their noodles in house. I wasn't expecting homemade noodles but I also wasn't expecting store bought either. I didn't feel like making the 25 minute drive to Nan Zhou and I want badly to find a solid noodle restaurant closer to my home so I tried Noodle 88. It's unlikely I'll return.

The best Chinese food I have ever eaten! Hands down! EXCELLENT!

Little pricey but possibly some of the best Chinese food I have had outside of China town.

Authentic yummy Chinese food!! Flavor was right on. Highly recommend the pan fried dumpling, duck sandwich and the tender braised fatty pork dish.

Don't be fooled by the pedestrian sounding name. The culinary team and ownership bring their A game to tried and true classics, making dumplings, fried rice and noodle dishes ooze with umami flavor and sourced with quality ingredients.

I ordered take out first time there... outstanding!!!

Amazing food and very good service!!
The General Tso's chicken and the orange chicken are favorites.

Impeccable, friendly service and delicious food. Taiwanese dishes on the menu, lots of vegan and vegetarian. We had five dishes, all yummy!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian clearly marked

Recommended dishes: Fried Tofu, Xiao Long Bao or Soup Dumpling

Whole experience was 5 star worthy. Fast service, amazing food, so hospitable. Extremely clean! Will definitely be returning!

Food is bland has no taste, portion size is nice but the food is ridiculously overpriced. I paid $21 for 6 honeywalnut shrimp and plain white rice. Not worth it at all. The staff inside is very rude. They didn’t even greet me when sitting down. Overall not worth the price.
