    Happened upon this wonderful restaurant on a rainy night walking around. The food was delicious, everything we tried was amazing. The standout items are the noodles, chili wontons, and cucumber salad. It was so good we had to get more to go. Service was excellent.

    Chonqing Pea Noodles ($14): pork mince, yellow peas, fried egg, pak choi.

    Chinese Bistro was recommended as a fair-value dinner when in Salt Lake City for an event. Service was friendly and lightning fast-- they are mostly assembling dishes from ready-cooked ingredients. So I'm glad I didn't try out the Mapodofu, as now I'd be concerned that the tofu and pork mince would not be sufficiently sauce-simmered together. The seasonings and broths were authentic tasting yet the cooked-ahead yellow peas, for ex, weren't heated up-- though very nice ingredient to find on the menu. Proteins were tender and tasty, but the pleasantly chewy refrigerator ramen-style noodles are only adequate. The kitchen will make it as spicy as you want (we went with the lowest level) and while pleasant and flavorful, with still a little zing, some chili oil and crunch (like sesame seeds, more scallion, etc) at table-side would have helped overcome the average noodles. I'd visit Chinese Bistro again when in the neighborhood for an event, but otherwise handmade noodles are more our jam. 3.5

    The wings, popcorn chicken, cucumber salad, and fried shrimp are a must. I've been here multiple times and tried a different noodle dish

    Cumin Fried Chicken
    Ingrid C.

    Great Chinese restaurant in Salt Late City. A quick 8 minute walk from our hotel, we spotted it getting fried chicken around the corner - great for big groups! Staff were friendly. I highly recommend the fried chicken wings (jalapeño salt and pepper was THE BEST) and my friend said the cumin was also super tasty. Ordered their Chengdu Beef Bowl and it hit the spot too! Sooo many beef chunks- very generous with the portions.

    Fun food joint with everyday Chinese bowls if you are working in downtown. Recommend and will be back.

    I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and finally had the opportunity after being downtown in the evening. It's tucked away on a street with no free parking in the area that I could tell. This can be a deterrent for most but I was committed! Service was quick and friendly and the restaurant was open and airy with plenty of seating. It looks like they probably get a lot of to go orders from the surrounding area. They specialize in Taiwanese food, particularly noodle soups and dumplings. I ordered the Chengdu noodle soup and an order of pork dumplings. They kindly made a separate bowl for my daughter that wasn't spicy which my daughter slurped up happily with the children's chopsticks they provided to her. The noodles tasted freshly made, the broth, light and spicy with chewy, flavorful bits of beef along with plenty of bok choy for some crunch. The portions were huge and we had plenty to take home. Definitely a great option if you're in the mood for some comfort food.

    Chengdu Beef Noodles
    Eric S.

    We discovered Chinese Bistro when walking down Regent Street heading to a show. It looked nice and quiet. We stopped in for dinner and were immediately sat and brought waters. The have a wide variety of noodle bowls and also chicken wings. We ordered the Golden Soup Chicken Noodle and the Chengdu Beef Noodle. Our food came out promptly and on a cold evening these noodle bowls were the perfect comfort food. Full of flavor and freshly prepared. Both bowls were well stocked with meat making them quite a hearty dinner choice. The Chengdu Beef had a bit of a spice to it but I enjoyed the flavor. Paired with a Thai Ice Tea we had a nice quiet dinner here and it was very affordable. This is a good place for a quick bite for lunch or dinner next to the Eccles Theater.

    Service is fast. Ordered via scan and got my order in 5mins. Fresh rice noodles. Spicy, even if you pick mild. Clean and plenty of room to sit.

    Elsie W.

    The best place to eat before a show at the Eccles. Don't come here if you're expecting some fancy service (it's a quick serve type of establishment). But come here if you want tasty, quick, delicious food. We ordered the chengdu noodles, braised pork noodles, cucumber salad and salt and pepper shrimp. You know it's a solid place when they're serving shrimp head on. The only reason they got docked a star was because I only got 4 pieces of braised pork and I feel like there could've have been more pork and choy.

    Spare Ribes Noodles
    Tessa T.

    AWESOME! We were immediately seated and brought waters. We ordered the spare rib noodles and pork dumplings and both were so good. I think we waited about five minutes before getting our food. The pork dumplings had a sweet sauce and meaty filling so if you like sweet and savory dishes, it'll be right up your alley. We ended up soaking the noodles in that sauce, it was so good. The spare rib noodles were also good but a little too spicey for me. We were warned when we were asked if we can handle American spice, apparently I can only slightly handle it. But I realized it was a chili oil, so after mixing quickly, the broth was delicious. Cilantro, bok cho, spare ribs and noodles. Very simple but each aspect was impeccable. Excited to come back and try more!

    Szechuan Hot & Sour Noodles
    Kaela S.

    I stopped in here with some friends for lunch per my dad's recommendation and I was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere is very modern, like all the restaurants on Regent Street. I love that ramen and pho are popping off right now, but I feel like Chinese noodles are totally underrated! I love the flavor and spice of Chinese food that other noodles don't have, especially Szechuan. I ordered the Szechuan hot and sour noodles (served with a fried egg and bean sprouts), but I would recommend getting it with beef. It was soooo good and the spice was excellent, but not too spicy. (Although they have chili oil at the table if you need more!) The servers were very attentive and made sure to get our orders very early on and brought us more than what we needed, such as extra plates and utensils! Overall, they were very friendly and helpful.

    Chongqing pea noodles
    Manda H.

    Great spot for a spicy lunch. The noodles aren't the best I've ever had, but this place is solid--especially if you're into spicy food, and even more so if you love numbing spice. The service is friendly and attentive, which adds to the experience, and the casual vibe makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. They've got a good mix of dishes for fans of authentic Chinese flavors and those who prefer snacky Hong Kong-style bites. There's still a lot on the menu I'd like to try, but it feels like the kind of place where the timing and craving have to align just right.

    Chili dumpling and kimchi
    Corey R.

    Delicious from the kimchi to the noodle bowls! Nice staff very attentive and quick service. Clean and fantastic smelling! Star of the show was the chili wontons. Will be back to try more bowls warmed us up on the cold night.

    My mother-in-law recommended this to me. I'm usually really hesitant when people recommend Chinese…read moreRestaurants to me. I'm not a big fan of the "Panda Express" tasting Chinese food. For starters, we ordered the Wor Wonton Soup. The broth was rich and hearty. The shrimps were large and plentiful. All the vegetables blended in with the flavors. I just wish the beef was a little more tender. A little marinade in baking soda would fix this. We ordered some chicken lettuce wraps. This has minced chicken, celery, bamboo shoots, and carrots. These are good by themselves but are best with hoisin sauce. I just wish the lettuce leaves were bigger. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was also good. The sauce had a nice blend of mayo, honey and lemon. It had a little too much breading for me but still tasted good. For $16.99, I wished there was a bit more shrimp. One thing I really appreciate - they GLAZE the walnuts! This is one of the few places that I actually like the sauce and they glaze the walnuts! The Crispy Beef is definitely my favorite. In fact, I think this is better than the one I get from Red Maple. It was not too sweet and had just the right amount of heat. Again, I really wish they would marinate the beef in baking soda to soften it up. The last dish we ordered was the Garlic Chicken. The server forgot to put the order in for this dish and there was a rush to get it out to us. They forgot to put garlic in this dish so wee sent it back. It was perfect when it came back. This place is fast becoming our go-to-place for Chinese Food. It's was a nice surprise and I'll can't wait to try the other dishes!

This tastes like mom's kitchen if mom had a high flamed gas stove. The dishes that benefited from that smoky hot wok flavor had it. I was so excited to eat I forgot to take pics of all the dishes at the table. Green beans with garlic was so tasty, I finished the leftovers the same night, I remembered to take a photo in the takeout container. The cauliflower (I don't know the actual name but it's stir fried, spicy and comes with peppers) had wok hei and I couldn't stop eating it. Beef rolls is the sophisticated auntie of the scallion pancake. Think of it like an asian burrito with thin sliced beef, fresh scallion and cilantro, and a touch of hoisin all hugged together with a crispy tasty scallion pancake. The shredded potato tastes like the best potato salad that isn't your picnic potato salad. The shredded potatoes were quickly blanched then stir fried preserving the crunch and crispness similar to al dente pasta. Seasoning was on point. The homiest flavor came from the stewed short rib. The rib pieces were braised in a soy and star anise sauce like what you find in Taiwanese beef noodle soup. The peels potatoes were cut rustically and just cooked through and not mushy. Authentic flavors and freshness like this is so so hard to come by. I can taste the quality of the ingredients used. One tip I have for selecting authentic food is by looking at the customers. If the customers are all Asian eating at an Asian restaurant, you know the food is going to be good. Service was 10/10, waitress was super polite and stopped by to chat with us about the food and SLC. I am from out of town but I grew up eating at NYC Asian restaurants and this is as good as if not better. If you happen to stop by the largest Costco in the world, make a pit stop here to refuel after all those steps.

I added the peanuts to the cucumbers because I really like them together so if you order the cucumbers, they will not come with peanuts.

    Disappointing Experience - Food Quality & Service…read more I've been to Mi La Cai Noodle House before, but unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing. I ordered the wonton soup, and the pork wontons did not taste right to me. I let the gentleman who was helping us know about the issue, and he told me, "Let me see with my manager what I can do for you." To be clear, I wasn't asking them to take the soup off my bill or give me anything for free. I simply wanted to see if they could provide a little more meat so I could finish my bowl. I thought that was a reasonable request, especially since I had already explained that the pork wontons didn't taste right. Unfortunately, the gentleman never came back to our table, and the manager never stopped by or spoke with us at all. We ended up paying the full bill, and no one even apologized or offered any kind of resolution. When the host later asked how everything was, I explained that the wonton soup wasn't as good as I expected. She simply said, "Oh, sorry." While I understand that mistakes happen, it felt like a very dismissive response, especially after we had already brought the issue to their attention. I honestly feel like the food quality at this restaurant has gone downhill. What disappointed me even more was the lack of customer service and follow-through. If a customer takes the time to politely bring up an issue, I would expect someone from management to at least come to the table and address it. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be coming back. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously because I used to have a much better impression of the food and service.

He dropped off a couple menus and got some waters started for us. It was my MIL's first time trying Vietnamese cuisine. It took her a minute to breeze over the menu.

Last minute my MIL decided on some hot and sour soup too. They were dropped off first and it was perfect for hot soup on this cold winter day. The broth was thick and flavorful. It had hearty pieces of tofu, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. The soup had a good heat to it. The heat didn't hit you right away, it gradually got spicier the more you ate it. My mouth was burning towards the end of my bowl. It was good but it could have been a bit more sour. My plate of black bean shrimp and veggies came out hot! The veggies looked fresh and colorful. The shrimp were plump. And the sauce smelled flavorful and salty from the fermented black bean. You can tell my dish just came out fresh from the wok. The veggies and shrimp were so hot! The shrimp were perfectly cooked. The zucchini, green peppers and bamboo shoots were my favorite. All the veggies were covered in sauce, probably the best way to eat your veggies. I ate the whole plate! I'm not the biggest fan of water chestnuts and I even polished those off. My dish was fantastic. Jay did a great job serving us tonight. He was patient and attentive.
