I wish I liked Bing better, but the flavor of the dumplings and noodle dishes just are not great. I've eaten food in house and last night had it as take out. Their service is quick, portions are decent and well-presented. Yet, I don't plan to return anytime soon.
Decent place if you're looking for Chinese hand-pulled noodles and dumplings made in-house. The restaurant atmosphere is lively and the food does initially taste good. Service-wise, I was seated on an extremely uncomfortable bar chair on a counter facing the outside. The counter is fine, but their chair is not suitable for sitting any length of time. I ordered Beef Noodle Soup which was fine but they didn't have knife cut noodle. Also they completely missed and forgot my Chinese Beef Roll/Burrito which I had to remind them to make. At that point it was time to go so I them pack it to-go. It was good to-go, no issues. Price-wise, everything feels a dollar or two overpriced. If you're sensitive to overly salty Chinese food or Chinese food that makes you feel the salt a couple hours later *wink wink* be aware this food is very salty. Their to-go bags are out in reusable bags which i guess is good marketing so you'll keep that bag a while looking at their logo. There's not many Chinese hand-pulled noodle places in Metro PHX so Im glad this restaurant exists. However, there's some more budget-friendly alternatives around.
They specialize in handmade dumplings and fresh cut noodles, rooted in time honored Chinese culinary traditions, prepared daily with care, passion, and premium ingredients. This location is clean, open, and inviting. You can see the Chef making the noodles from the glass window. We had 5 of us, they sat us at this huge round table, it works and we order A LOT of food. We each had a bowl of Slow Cooked Braised Beef Noodle Soup (we each got our different cuts of noodles. Noodles come in thin, regular, thick, and chive-wide, wide, and extra wide. This was the best out of all the things we ordered! We also got and shared: Chicken Potstickers, Scallion Pancake, Beef Burrito, Traditional Pork Soup Dumplings, Chicken & Corn Dumplings, & Shrimp Egg & Pork Dumplings. The best flavor was the slow cooked braised beef noodle soup, the soup, the beef, and of course the fresh cut noodles. The chicken potstickers were not handmade, those are the normal frozen and fried from a manufacturer. However the chicken and corn dumplings were very good. The Traditional Pork Soup dumplings and beef burrito were a no go. Everything else was ok. The service was ok. The lady server bought the beef burrito dish then came back later to take it back and said they forgot the sauce. 15 mins later she never came back. We flagged the other server down and ask him about it. We saw them review our order and discuss. Then 15 more mins before they bought a newly made beef burrito back. The lady server knowing the Chef made the wrong chicken dumplings and still bought it to the table and told us to take it. We told her we wanted the chicken and corn dumplings tho, she had an attitude and told us it is 20 mins for new ones.
Popped in for early lunch on a Sunday. I was the only one there and was not greeted with a smile. I was hoping to adapt a few snacks but they weren't keen on modifications. I ended up ordering the truffle pork dumplings and a cup of egg drop and crab meat soup. It was good and unique. Definitely an aftertaste of crab. No crispies for the soup unfortunately. I really wanted just a side of broth and noodles but that wasn't a possible side order. Love that the soup was served very hot and flavorful. Only a few shreds of crab toward the bottom. The dumplings were served hot and delicious! Juice! I would have enjoyed a touch more of a truffle flavor. It was pretty faint but nevertheless good and worth the wait. I'm not sure I was eating them correctly because the juices were dripping out as I but into them. Would have loved a friendly tip. Ended up using my soup spoon to eat these to preserve some of the juice. I probably wouldn't order this again just because not truffle adjacent enough and a bit messy but glad tried it. I kindly asked if they had a side of truffle oil I could dip into for more of a truffle flavor. I was told they did not. While staff were responsive when I asked for them, they did no proactively check on me or the one other table there during my time. I did ask them for more napkins and sauce. Atmosphere was cool. Love that they have a community table and bar which shows for meeting people, although bar seating was not set up when I arrived. Love the unique menu options. Would definitely come back to taste more things. Just hope for a warmer, more inviting service experience. Fyi, the outside glass is marked with $12.99 lunch which I was looking forward to getting but server let me know matter-of-factly that it is not available on Sundays.
Pretty busy on a weekend, but we did not have to wait. As a party of 6 we had a good experience. Order the soup noodles! I ordered the soup dumplings and green beans. The soup dumplings were good but I really wish I ordered the specialty noodle soup instead #FOMO. The green beans were a hit, same with the cucumber salad. I am no stranger to cucumber salad, but this place adds cilantro which is a great variation! The service took longer for some items but we received the noodle soups and cucumbers immediately. We had a large party and we did not have any issues. The staff was accommodating. I will be back, maybe at their Gilbert location to try the noodle soups.
Walking into Bing Bistro's Scottsdale location felt like stepping into China. The friendly Chinese staff greeted us with smiles and Mandarin, and through the open kitchen, we watched a few Chinese uncles hand-pulling noodles while chatting with me about where I'm from. It just feels like home. (although the Chinese auntie sitting next to our table was eavesdropping our conversation the entire time did not appreciate that) We ordered the hand-pulled noodles, truffle and pork dumplings, and a few appetizers. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and authentically Chinese which is one of a kind in the Phoenix area, where most spots either lean Cantonese or Szechuan and they taste oddly similar like coming from the same package. I'd absolutely come back, but only to the Scottsdale location. Somehow, the Gilbert one just doesn't compare.
We ordered soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, and pork sandwich. The beef noodle soup was flavorful, but the beef was sliced beef instead of chucks, I liked the broth but the noodles tasted not too special. The pork soup dumplings had weird pink color, and tasted a little bit oily. The pork sandwich was good, I liked the layers of the bun, and the pork with peppers were spot on. Overall, I think it was overpriced consider about the food and prices, but still an option for Chinese carving.
What a find! We loved this place. Cozy spot for dumplings and noodles. My husband and kids were very happy. The kids dined on beef chow mein and pork dumplings. We ate the pork truffle soup dumplings which burst in your mouth. I can't wait to try the other soup dumpling options. The chili won tons were insanely delicious, we used that sauce for everything. We also had the salt and pepper wings and black pepper beef cubes. I would order all of it and more next time!
This was my first time here and the food, The food was amazing! I truly loved everything we ate. There were some dumplings and cucumber salads and something else I forgot to take a picture of because I was too busy stuffing it down my throat. Decoratively, nothing spectacular but I was there for the food anyway. I will definitely be back with my girlfriends to try more food.
Bing Bistro has big potential here without many competitors in the area. I miss going to hand pulled noodle place in Mesa that closed down. Bing Bistro is much closer for me so I was excited. Tried them twice so far; various dishes including their beef noodle soup, XLB, veggies, and Dan Dan noodles. First time, everything seemed little bland, and second time it was bit salty. Having been opened two months, I hope to see some improvements. I will return in couple months to see if there are any improvements. There were many Asian diners when we were there. Service is excellent and dining room was very clean and comfortable. Enjoy!
I am so confused why this only has 3.5 stars. This place everything that we tried was amazing! I was so excited to try this place and was hesitant because of the 3.5 stars, but I'm so happy I decided to come and try it for myself. I'm a huge fan of Din Tai Fung, so my expectations weren't high. You can watch them make the noodles and dumplings through the plexiglass. Their hand cut noodles were so delicious. I got the broccoli, green beans and bok choy. All was flavored, so good and garlic and seasoning and was cooked to perfection with a little crunch. We also got the cucumber salad which was very refreshing. We tried the soup dumplings and regular dumplings. We got pork, pork & shrimp and beef & onions. The filling in the dumplings were very savory and seasoned to perfection. The only callout I will say is, I felt like the dumplings were a little undercooked because the dough didn't have a strong consistency and was breaking apart very easily but other than that, the dumplings were fantastic. We also got the short ribs and it was super savory and very tender. I'm definitely going to be a regular here, lol they will know me by first name very soon.
Bing Bistro Local small business in North Scottsdale serving mainly Taiwanese style Chinese Food. Very nicely done interior, with limited seating due to 2 large family style tables. They make fresh noodles in house which you can't get much fresher. You can watch the "Noodle Master" do their thing and sling around the freshly tossed noodles. Traditional Pork Soup Dumplings or Xiao Long Bao XLB are good size and steaming hot. Another fresh hand made dish and would say one of their signature dishes. Chicken and Corn Dumplings kind of like a potstickers dumpling was good, probably would pass next time. Beef Chow Fun noodles are definitely freshly made and the texture and taste very much indicated that. Good mix of beef, bean sprouts and onions. Shanxi Chili Oil Noodles another dish I would generally not order, but my daughter wanted to try it. It is good but would probably order another dish next time to try other items, not to say it was bad, but not a dish I would consider must have. Orange Chicken you think of fast food Panda Express, but their Orange Chicken is definitely a level above, ask my daughter who lives on PE Orange Chicken and she very much liked this version. A-Chow Garlic very well done, not usually an A Chow fan, but with the right amount of garlic kicks it up a notch. Wonton Noodles has shrimp around 4 Wonton, bok choy, green onions. The broth is simple with lite taste, good amount of noodles, but noodles are a little bland. Prefer egg noodles with wonton. Wanted to like this place, freshly made noodles, hand tossed, except the noodles are just a little tasteless. Alot of their noodle dishes are just below expectations
Came here with a friend for lunch. There was plenty of parking, and the place felt really open with high ceilings and lots of space. The seating wasn't the most comfortable, but it was fine. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. We tried the beef noodles, soup dumplings, chili oil wontons, and pork potstickers. They make their own noodles here, which we thought were really good. The beef noodles were okay, nothing special. The chili oil wontons were a bit too sweet for me, and the soup dumpling skin was a little on the thick side. We ended up ordering a few more things to take home for the family to try. Overall, it was decent, some things we liked, some not so much.

We used to love coming here at the opening, now maybe less; great dishes like cold Kimchi soup or cold noodle soup have disappeared and what we had was tasteless but for the MSG! Service is ok and the the atmosphere passable. read more
Recommend: Yes Service: Nice but a bit slow Food: Food was good. The handmade noodles were really good! I like the wide noodles. Ambience: clean, but it kinda felt like it wasn't all done yet. The bar sitting area is not used at all. It's really nice to see AZ is getting more unique restaurants. The handmade noodles were all very good and perfect texture. The soups that we had all had great flavor. I feel like you can't really go wrong anywhere or what type of noodles. Definitely give it a trip if u never had hand pull noodles. read more
I learned about Bing Bistro after watching a 5lb noodle soup eating challenge (@Rainaiscrazy). My order was for delivery and the food arrived well packaged, secured to avoid any leaking or spillage en- route and in the cutest delivery bag I've ever seen. I realized that I was so hungry, I forgot to take photos of the food. Everything that I ordered was tasty-seasoned well and I could taste the "wok hei". The following was what I ordered: 1. Stir fried bok choy The bok choy still had some bite and the delicate flavor of the vegetable was enhanced by the silky garlic sauce. 2. Signature beef noodle soup with extra wide hand pulled noodles Deep flavors in the broth with a touch of collagen-y goodness that coats the lips. The noodles were perfectly springy, chewy and paired well with the broth and braised beef (thinly sliced) 3. Beef chow fun This dish is a classic and the noodles were wok fried perfectly and not too al-dente. The beef was probably velveted and was very tender with some crispy edges. The wok hei was strong with this dish! Overall, I enjoyed my meal and look forward to the next one! read more
First time trying Bing for the lunch special. You have to ask for that menu otherwise you'll just get the regular menu. You select an appetizer, a dish and a drink. I picked a pork egg roll and my companion picked the spicy cucumber salad. The cucumber salad wins. Delicious. Also available non spicy. The pork eggroll was not greasy but nothing I would order again. My main was the wonton soup with shrimp. Delicious broth with scallions cilantro, bok choy. Nice! Companion ordered kung pow Chicken and chose the fried rice at no extra charge. The chicken was a little tough, overcooked but with good flavor and spice. The fried rice had a wonderful flavor despite it being vegetarian. I can just imagine how delicious it would be with pork. We were served by a nice lady and gentleman. They were efficient and only came by when we had a question or issue. The have the fanciest chopsticks. Very cool. Come by and try them. We need lots of Chinese restaurants around. read more

Recently visited Taipei and was missing Taiwanese food and Bing's dishes is very authentic. We've had their pork dumplings, hand pulled noodles, chow fun, and tried their different steam vegetables. Their fried rice is good too. Highly recommended. Staff are friendly, large dining area, and great parking spaces. I'm going to deduct a lil because they serve Pepsi, not Coke read more

Food well made, had good flavor, and felt a lot more fresh than many other places. Got the Shanxi noodles and they were my favorite. I was a little worried about the spice level, but I got the mild and it has the perfect flavor and temperature for someone who's not used to spice to enjoy. Additionally, the sesame chicken was well done with a light and crispy breading, and the dumplings were fresh! Lacking a little in overall ambiance, but the restaurant was clean and simple and the food came out quickly. read more

This experience compares to the iconic Chinese food scene of the late 80s/early 90s. The best Chinese food i have ever had in this decade for sure. Such nostalgia. I'm so sad I leave back to the mitten and cannot take this experience with me. 5 stars! Highly recommended! So clean! read more

Met up with a friend today for lunch. Since we were there as they were just opening up, we were immediately seated. It's a medium to large store front with a view into the kitchen and their noodle making area (for hand pulled noodles). We opted to try their Xiao Long Bao, Peking duck (which they include a secondary dish that is prepared with the remnant of the duck bones, so we opted for the soup) and beef chow fun (I'm under the impression their rice noodles are made in house, based on the texture). Everything was prepared quickly and well seasoned. Our server was pretty attentive, friendly and didn't pressure us to leave while we sat & chatted. If you are in the area, definitely check it out. read more

As a Chinese person living in North Scottsdale, I have to say this is the most authentic Chinese food I've found nearby. While they do offer some American-style Chinese dishes (not really my thing), the noodles and soup dumplings are absolutely legit. One bite honestly brought me back home. I'm so happy they're here. read more

Happy to see a new Asian restaurant open in the North Scottsdale area. Went on Saturday afternoon, and all table were taken, was seated at the bar area. Ordered the signature beef noodle soup, and was a bit disappointed in the soup, which lacked flavor in my opinion, and there was not a lot of beef or veggies in the dish overall. I will come back to try the soup dumplings. read more
Everything was tasty and fresh. Service was very kind and welcoming. It does not live up to the hype of the Instagram videos showing "hand pulled noodles made table side" though. It is a very basic Chinese modern restaurant, but I would return again! read more

The ambiance is simple. What you'd expect for a quick lunch place. The service was great. Fast and very friendly. Now the mail reason why I came was to try the dumplings! I LOVE dumplings! We ordered shrimp & pork and the Truffle and pork, egg rolls, and fried rice. Well the dumplings, sad to say were the worse I ever had. There was no flavor whatsoever so ever! I hate to leave this kind of review but I have to let you know before you spend $15-$17 per plate of 5/6 dumplings! Very expensive! For that price I would expect it to be at least tasty. The soup in the dumplings was just water! The egg rolls were my favorite. The rice was ok. A bit oily. Listen, my brother in law is from Tibet and even he was sad to say the same thing. My family (4) were all so excited to try this place. Unfortunately, we won't be back. In the photo, we had the egg roll in the wax paper. Didn't want the roll to get wet by the water from the dumplings. One star was for service, the other was for the egg rolls. They were a hit read more
Reviews seem to be a bit polarizing. Thought I would try for myself. I really enjoyed it! It was Sunday lunch and was able to sit right away. Food came out fast, service was friendly. Food was hot and delicious! I really enjoyed the pork soup dumplings. The cucumber salad was good too! The chili wontons were simple and spicy and good. Will definitely recommend. read more

To preface, this is a small business from what I am aware of and I don't want to leave too harsh of a review as yelp reviews can really decimate a businesses ability to grow and improve. The restaurant is gorgeous inside. There are several tables in a multitude sizes. Coming in my partner and I were very excited! Unfortunately, our food did not live up to expectations. I ordered the spicy seafood soup and the first thing I saw was shrimp that was not deveined. Now, I understand there are no laws or rules stating a restaurant must devein shrimp and that a lot of dishes require shrimp that is not deveined to keep the shell in tact. But, I don't understand why one out of every other shrimp is not deveined. My guess is that their rule of thumb is to devein shrimp but got a little lazy with some. That's fine, but personally I'm not a fan of that and it is indicative of our other experiences. I got the thick noodles with my dish. They were tough and I assume not fully cooked. Concerning the broth: flavorless. No spice at all and I have a low tolerance. It just made my mouth tingle which is a cool experience but it wasn't flavorful or spicy in the slightest. My partner agreed that it just tasted like nothing. We tried to justify it and say maybe there was a build up but nope, nothing. Regarding my partners meal, they ordered the pork soup dumplings and they were okay. Didn't taste fresh, not particularly flavorful, and honestly just a pile of mush. They said it tasted there was a hint of a flavor. I can recognize that soup dumplings can be very soft, but this was mush. Like falling apart mush :( I hate wasting food but I ended up not finishing my plate or taking leftovers home. It was disappointing for my partner and I to spend a total of $36.68 (+ tip as the food itself was around $29) for two dishes and be unsatisfied with both. read more
