    This place is so good. It is located inside the galleria. They have daily specials, make sure you check them out. They serves Chinese/Vietnamese/Cambodian dishes. Make sure to check out their menu. My favorite item is their grilled pork and chicken dish. Delicious. I can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

    We were in Rochester MN for 2 days. I looked at Yelp's Top Ten and noticed First Meeting Noodle…read more Right up our alley. Watching your noodles being pulled and boiled is a true treat. We ordered Sichuan Wontons in Chili Oil and Scallion Pancakes for a first course. The wonton noodle was the best I've ever been served. We had Green Beans and Curry Chicken Noodle for mains. We brought lunch ingredients to make sandwiches at our conference. Instead, we returned for more wontons and pancakes. Our companion was interested in calamari (spent ~45" too long in the fryer) and a bowl of chicken noodle soup that was too big to finish. I thought the broth was good, but I'm partial to a saltier ramen style broth. Shops with hand pulled noodles should offer small scissors. You could pull on a single noodle in your bowl like forever!

    We walked into First Meeting Noodle for a late lunch on a Sunday at 1PM and there was surprisingly…read morea line of customers waiting for seats. We ended up waiting about 15 minutes before getting a table. Beef Burrito ($9.50) - We ordered with cilantro on the side as one of the people in our party has the mutated OR6A2 gene. It's a pretty simple dish. I'm not sure if they make their scallion pancake in house or not. It's rather dense and not really that flaky, salted well and has the thick hoisin sauce to boost the sweetness and saltiness. The beef is relatively tender roasted beef shank, sliced thin, dressed simply. Most of the flavor here is from the hoisin. (4/5) Oil Splashing Noodle ($10.50) + Beef (+$3.75) - Starting with the pulled noodles - these are excellent. Pulled long with very consistent thickness, so everything cooks to the same delicious level of bounce. The hot oil sauce, unfortunately is sub par. It's far, far too sweet, almost like eating a dessert, and while there's a balanced amount of vinegar acidity and some nuttiness, there's no heat at all despite the redness of the oil. There's also a good amount of chopped garlic and peanut right on top, but they get lost in the sweetness. Ordering with beef just adds some sliced beef shank, the same as used in the burrito. It's a fine addition albeit not very exciting. (2/5) Taiwanese Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup ($13.50) - Again, the noodles are excellent here, although they get softer the long they sit in the soup, which is to be expected. The broth here is also far too candy sweet, although this a bit more flavor complexity here from the beef braising spices, the beef itself, and some tomato umami. There's just enough flavor that the broth doesn't feel bland, but it's still very weak compared to a good Taiwanese beef noodle. There's a couple of slices of tomato, an almost invisible amount of pickled mustard (suan cai? zha cai? I can't tell given how little they give). Finally the beef brisket which is also quite weak. It's lean and I believe not braised for long enough, resulting in it being very tough and stringy. (2/5) I feel like these dishes have been adjusted too far to suit the Midwestern American palate. The food served at First Meeting Noodle is far, far too sweet for my tastes - it's a bad sign when a dish that's supposed to be spicy and umami foremost, then tangy, has sweetness as by far the strongest flavor. Then again, this is probably the only hand pulled noodle place within an hour drive, so maybe I should give them some slack. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women Food: [2.66/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 3/5

    A few weeks ago, I was shopping in the southern part of Rochester. Kohl's and Five Below are my…read moreusual places. As I parked to visit the latter, I noticed New China. It intrigued me. Having Chinese food in Rochester is still foreign to me. I didn't order any when I was a resident. It's funny how I now have an interest returning as a visitor. I looked at the reviews and they were decent on Yelp. I decided to check out their online menu. One thing led to another. I ended up placing an order for pickup on New China's site. You don't pay through it, but you are prompted to create an account and specify your phone number. You order takes roughly 25 minutes to complete, which was more than enough time for me to shop at Five Below before picking up my order. Their food caters to both Americans who may feel intimidated by Chinese food and, surprisingly, to Chinese folks who want authentic food. My pain point was seeing cream cheese rangoons (wontons) on the menu. First, I can't see my ancestors taking out a rectangle of Philadelphia cream cheese to replace the traditional pork filling in wontons. Second, I find it gross seeing them on a Chinese eatery menu that I will not touch them if they were the last food item available on this planet. My rant is over. The menu item that gave me a glimmer of hope for some authentic Chinese cuisine was the shrimp with lobster sauce. I went for it. I drove over to the eatery after I was done shopping and parked steps away from it. The restaurant is next to a radio station blasting country music. There are stairs and a ramp for those who require accessibility help. You can dine in. I saw a couple eating when I walked in. Dining spaces looked limited. I was immediately greeted by a woman. There were four women in the kitchen literally cooking up a storm. I said my name and she found my order that was already packed. I asked if this place accepted credit cards. Yep, every credit card imaginable is accepted here. I paid and all was great. She handed me my food. I thanked her. She wasn't the friendliest. Come to think of it, they were probably more focused on cooking the food than being friendly. They were highly efficient, though. I drove an hour back to Eagan. My food was still hot when I got back to my hotel room. I was impressed. I got the following items: - Steamed dumplings with garlic soy sauce - Shrimp with lobster sauce on roasted pork fried rice - House special lo mein with roasted pork fried rice Each meal came with an egg roll. Everything was packed carefully. The egg rolls were yummy. They were crispy and packed full of filling. They were perfect. The steamed dumplings were authentic and delicious. They didn't have any fancy crimping. Each filling was packed full of flavourful pork filling. The garlic soy sauce worked well. I had roughly half of the two meals for dinner. Perhaps less than half because I ate all the dumplings. The shrimp with lobster sauce was so comforting. It reminded me of a Hong Kong-style dish where you know there's fried rice, but you can't see it because it's drenched in flavourful lobster sauce. The shrimp were perfectly done. I love barbequed pork in fried rice and it was fabulous. I liked the cubed carrots and pork, peas, onions, and more. I would get this dish again. It was delicious. The house lo mein was a winner. It had chicken, shrimp, barbequed pork, and veggies. The noodles were true lo mein ones. It was different having the lo mein paired with fried rice, but I didn't mind. It was such a carb-heavy, yummy meal. I had leftovers for lunch the following day. It was perfect staying in my hotel room working remotely and not having to think about what to get for lunch. The leftovers were equally as yummy a day later. It was a pleasant surprise taking a chance on New China and discovering that it offers authentic Chinese food. Just avoid the cream cheese appetizers. I'd return for more when I'm back in my old neighbourhood. (26)

    Was in town for a conference and went out to dinner with friends. We chose this place because I…read morewanted to try the pho in the area. The Internet shows they close at 7:45 pm, but the store sign shows they close at 8:00 am. There is parking in the front and also in the back. The back parking looked like residential parking with the nearby homes, but the staff assured me it's their parking lot. My party of three got seated right away towards the window facing the front parking lot. We received laminated menus. The menu can be confusing because it doesn't show the full pricing for the pho options. I had to ask the waitress for clarification since there were pricing next to the meat options and pho options. I ordered the oxtail and rib beef pho which was a total of $26 plus taxes. The broth was flavorful, but cloudy with residue from the meat. The noodle was soft, but firm. The oxtail was soft and fall off the bone good. The rib was soft but tough. It was disappointing because I thought it would be soft and tender, like fall off the bone good. Also they forgot to include it in the pho soup and when I asked about it, they brought it out right away. Pho rating - I rate it 3/5. My friend order the cream cheese wonton. It was good, 3/5 good. Staff members were friendly. Just be aware that a staff member may tell you they will be closing soon. That happened to us this time. Overall the place was small, but sizable for a dinner outing with a small group of friends. I would go there again, but wouldn't go out of my way to order it.

    Restaurant is clean and has a good vibe. Service was prompt and friendly enough. Now to the dishes…read more Spring rolls were great actually, The sauce was done thick, with full flavor. Pad Thai has 0 spice when you order you have to ask for an ounce of spice or get ready to add loads of your own. Not an authentic flavor at all. My wife got the Pho it did not come with fish sauce in it (not a huge deal) Broth was too light therefore lacking a lot of the natural flavors aside from that it was good. Not saying avoid it just do not expect to be blown away.
