Awesome place! I had known about the locations in Rockville and nearby there, but that is a bit far for noodles (80min drive). So i was happy to see this place. It is still a bit far (35min), but doable. I also wasnt sure if i would be able to eat something because wheat noodles, but the staff were awesome enough to allow my substitution of wheat noodles for glass noodles in the dish i had chosen. I had originally made the nice lady very nervous with my request and she tried to convince me to try the dish that was advertised with the glass noodles, but i assured her that it would be fine as i normally eat noodles without soup. I ordered the 3 oil noodles with ground pork. It was very tasty. Especially after i added vinegar and the house chili oil. Definitely coming back. read more

I've visited a few times and keep coming back for the noodle soups. My go-to is the lamb noodle soup with a spicy broth, and it never disappoints--rich, flavorful, and packed with tender pieces of lamb. One of the highlights is the handmade noodles, which you can customize in thickness, from delicate angel hair to something as hearty as fettuccine. The menu has plenty of variety beyond soups, including dumplings, spring rolls, stir-fried noodles, and oil-tossed noodle dishes. I also tried the braised intestines on the side; while they were well-prepared, the texture wasn't quite for me--I'd probably enjoy them more if they were fried. Ordering is convenient, whether you prefer doing it in person, through the app, or at the kiosk. The space has a good number of tables for dining in, and there's even a piano if you know how to play. Overall, it's been a consistently enjoyable spot for lunch. read more

Chopin Noodle House - Lamb noodle soup with braised intestines - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

I'd be willing to come back. My partner likes the joint a lot more than I did. I really liked the flavour (their made in house chili sauce is incredible) of their dishes but I think their noodles aren't as strong as they could be. They taste great, don't get me wrong, I'm just comparing them to my favourite noodle spot in a different state. What we got: Oil Spill Noodles - 4* once again their chili sauce is *chef's kiss* incredible. We recommend giving them a good stir to get the oil well spread. We felt there could've been more beef added, a decent amount was gristle or fat which we did not enjoy. I think the noodles could've been cooked just a little more as well. Lanzhou Stir Fry Handpull Noodles - 4* great flavour. It was a large portion of noodles, more than the oil spill. The vegetables were cooked to perfection with the right amount of crunch. The chicken was also really good. I wanted the noodles to be cooked just a little more. read more

I ordered an egg on the side as well and it was very good and still warm!!!!!! read more

Chopin serves incredibly flavorful noodle soups with hearty and savory broths, perfectly chewy hand-pulled noodles, and the right amount of toppings! One of the employees helped us decide which noodles would pair well and I was so grateful for her help. She recommended thinner cut noodles for broth soups and thicker/wider cut for stir fry. We decided to choose thin and flat for our soups. Both types were very easy to mix into the soups and the broth coated them well. I'm ready to go back and try this spot again but next time, I am looking forward to trying their dry sauce noodle dishes! read more

Absolutely spectacular. This is a gem of a find with the best homemade noodles in the city. The soups are flavorful, the service is very quick and friendly, and you'll slurp up your bowl faster than you thought was possible! I've consistently gotten the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup (A1) with thick noodles (if I remember correctly)! But the Traditional Beef Noodle Soup (A2) is not actually that spicy, just really flavorful--so I think I might even start ordering that soon. Someday I'll deviate to other parts of the menu, but I just can't stop myself from ordering their soup. So. Darn. Good. The ambiance is surprisingly nice for their location (strip mall, next to a big Asian grocery store)--it's casual dining but they've got a baby grand piano and classy decor on the walls, so it's nicely elevated! read more

We stopped by here for lunch on a weekend. The place is decorated with violins on the wall and has grand piano on the side. The place was busy and had one empty table that wasn't cleared off. You're expected to order your food at the counter or at the kiosk. We ordered at the counter and got the Lanzhou beef noodle soup, Lanzhou intestine noodle soup, jajang noodles and popcorn chicken. All the food items were decent just not mind blowing. I do like you have the option to choose different type of noodles (thin, thick, flat, wide). There's good amount of noodles in the bowl and was very filling. I would visit again to try other menu items. read more

Tried Chopin Noodle House for the first time while my parents were in town--we were looking for a new spot with Asian food and decided on their beef noodle soups. My parents thought the broth was a bit too oily, and my sesame noodles leaned on the salty side for my taste. My wife, however, really enjoyed her beef tomato noodles with extra thick cut noodles, which were hearty and flavorful. Service was on the slower side, but the owner was friendly, which helped balance things out. Overall, a mixed experience, but still worth checking out if you're curious about hand-pulled noodles. read more

Oh yeah. A very good hand pulled noodle spot. We had chicken soup noodle (extra thin), the jajang noodle and the chicken belt noodle. All were tasty but the sweet pork in bean sauce of the jajang noodle and the chicken soup noodles were especially good. The fried dumplings were good too. But my favorite thing was the mutton appetizer. Simple well seasoned mutton served with a spicy aromatic dipping options. A spicy powder, chili oil and some fresh garlic/cabbage in chili oil. It is run by friendly folks, is clean and has a chill vibe. Has piano and classical music theme as the owner was a piano teacher. read more

Great spot for hand pulled noodles! Got the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, Sauerkraut Beef Noodle Soup, and Lanzhou Intestine Noodle Soup. All the soups were very umami and well-seasoned without being overpowering. Noodles were super fresh (there are multiple options for noodle thickness from thin to wide, customizable for every bowl). Adding a little bit of the chilli oil from the condiment rack at each table elevates the broth! Generous portion sizes, awesome service, indoor seating/to-go/delivery options. The founder of this place was a piano teacher so the shop is classical music themed. There is a grand piano that guests (with clean hands) can play! read more

Not a fan of the fish soup. And i wish that the other beef soup had more components. Hard to not compare the beef soup I had to pho but I'll say id rather have pho for the veggies and broth. I do like the ease at you can order, pretty much self serve and the menu was clear. And the ambiance was nice but I wish they went all the way by hiding the supplies on the one side of the restaurant or cover it with a wall/separation. But I do like the decor and the piano on the side. Even the bathroom had some thought to the decor. read more

Chopin Noodle House - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

summary: a small shop next to Great Wall supermarket that boasts a selection of hand-pulled noodle dishes and sides that are fresh and delicious. This location in Catonsville seems to be the third addition to an already existing line of Chopin Noodle Houses and I'm glad they expanded their business to be closer to my neighborhood. Located inside a smallish venue (there's seating for roughly 10 parties of ~4 people), it's a simple shop that knows what they excel at. You order either at a big screen kiosk or there's usually somebody at the front register that can take your order. At that point, they bus your order to your table, but that's pretty much the service interaction you will have. They have one restroom on the premise. There's a selection of noodle dishes with soup or no soup and then "appetizers," which are basically side dishes. You can then specify what kind of noodles you want with your dish (from ramen-style noodles to extra thick). Overall, everything was delicious. I'm a bit biased because I love hand-pulled noodles and you can definitely tell the difference here. That said, the sauce and broth that the dishes came with were all delicious and had great flavor. I imagine that this might be a popular spot to order carry-out or doordash, but I would recommend dining in to eat everything fresh. I don't know that the quality of the noodles will travel very well. All things considered, I'm very happy that they opened this shop here and will be back again! read more

Found Chopin Noodle House on GrubHub after a search for soup. I wanted something that was similar to pho in a smaller quantity. After searching on Yelp, this restaurant was highly suggested, so I gave them a try. I ordered the traditional beef noodle soup. It came with chili sauce and zero utensils. The soup reminded me of ramen with less ingredients. The flavor was rather flat but hearty as a soup should be. I ended up adding hoisin sauce to give it a bit more flavor. All and all, not a bad dish, just not my cup of tea. Would love to give other menu items a try. Maybe eating at the actual restaurant will provide a better experience. read more

Chopin Noodle House - Peach Ice Tea Lemonade - Chinese Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

4.5 Stars. I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. Thanks to the many Yelp reviews and a day off, my wife and I came in for a lunch date to check them out. Lots of folks inside were enjoying their noodles. Staffers called out order numbers in English and Mandarin. True to the Chopin vibe, there is a piano available for anyone to play (quietly, they request). A water cooler is available for any guest to help themselves to water. The same two or three instrumental songs are playing on a loop. You can order one of two ways: kiosk or at the counter with a person. Feeling overwhelmed, my wife and I spoke with the woman behind the counter about what we were considering. I liked that we mentioned being intrigued by the cucumber salad appetizer and the lady said "well, it's a little different than American-style cucumber salad; try a sample and decide if that's what you want." It ended up being what I expected - crunchy with a nice dressing - so we got it. Everyone on Yelp seemed to recommend the traditional beef noodle soup, so we got that and an order of cold noodle Lanzhou Liangpi. First, the soup. I came in with various expectations of other Asian soups - pho, tom yom, sambar - all with their own intensely aromatic flavor profiles, but this is not that. It's not a big punch in the face, but even though the flavor is more subtle, I would not dare call it bland or lacking flavor. It is beefy with a nice bit of chili oil and the noodles are pleasant. A little radish as well for some contrast. My favorite was the cold Lanzhou Liangpi. The extra thick noodles are nice and chewy. The sauce is a lovely blend of sesame noodles and chili oil, so it's savory, spicy, and creamy. Some thinly-chopped cucumber makes it a pleasant crunchy fresh contrast. Would definitely get these again. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a bunch of drinks available and have juices, fruit teas, and milk teas. I got a mango milk tea which was delightful and my wife got a passionfruit green tea. Only two complaints: 1. They need more vegetarian or even pescatarian options. Aside from an appetizer or two, everything else has meat. If I brought vegetarian Child #1, there would be little for him. 2. I wish they included a bit more protein. The beef in the soup was nice, but another couple slices could go a long way. Similarly, the gluten protein (think a cross between seitan and tofu) in the Lanzhou Liangpi was also kind of sparing. The prices are fair, the food delicious, and the service friendly and quick. Definitely recommended! read more

Overall: amazing hand-pulled noodles, excellent food, speedy and kind service, clean and casual ambiance, cute theme, super reasonable prices, with a single stall restroom Wow! I'm so stoked about this place. We loved absolutely everything about it and will be regulars here for sure. It's a small, clean, casual spot. I love that you can order at a kiosk with big helpful pictures or with an employee. You can customize the noodle width which we were really excited about! We were so surprised when our food came out almost instantly. They had lots of extra bowls and utensils out for self-serve which was really helpful as we were sharing and eating food with kids. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The wide noodles in the oil spill were great. The spice level was perfect and the flavors were satisfying. My only complaint would be that the noodles in the oil spill stuck together a good bit, but that won't stop me from ordering it again. We also had the beef noodle soup, the Jajang noodles, and the popcorn chicken. The broth was so tasty and the popcorn chicken was light and flavorful. I have only ever had Korean jajang before and I much preferred the version here. The musical theme of the restaurant was cute and I loved the sparkly art around. There is a piano that they welcome people to play quietly, which I also thought was a great way to include the community. Can't wait to return! read more

If you're in the mood for some good homemade noodles, you've found your place!! Since the weather has been getting chilly, I was craving a bowl of noodle soup! I got the traditional beef noodle soup which was tasty and hit the spot. There were plenty of noodles and I loved the selection of noodle thickness you could decide on. Service was quick. You can order at the front or using the kiosk. The restaurant itself was not very big but it was clean. Side dishes I do recommend are the : steamed chicken with chili sauce, Chinese tea egg, and the beef shank salad. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and of course the perfect time to do it was on one of the days I came down with the common cold . I craved a soothing beef soup and opted for Chopin Noodle House! The inside smelled great and they seemed to have plenty of seating ( This review is about takeout ). I had ordered ahead of time so when I got there they just asked for my order number. The service was nice and I loved the way the restaurant looked. Once I got home, I started assembling the soup. The broth had to be reheated as it was lukewarm but oh well. After reading a few of the reviews beforehand I realized it was a good idea to order extra beef and I was glad I did! It tasted tender for the soup and I ate it all. I added some veggies and sriracha of my own because I felt it was lacking some of that. The tea egg was DELICIOUS!! I loved the flavor of this savory egg and it paired well with the soup. The thick noodles were long and slurpable in every bite and had the perfect ratio of chewy and tenderness. The broth was a bit salty for my liking but I just added a little water to compensate it. The packaging of it all was neatly assembled but they didn't provide any napkins or utensils so I just used what I had at home. *PRO TIP (I learned the hard way but just fyi if you're ordering ahead, make sure to call them or just opt to order takeout in person as it might end up being more expensive ordering through 3rd party apps, which is what I did. After taking a second glance at the menu in person, I realized that I could've paid $18 for my order but instead paid $25...) I want to come back here with family and try their other dishes. Perhaps it's an even better experience dining in! read more

Rarely do I use the words "hidden gem", and this place is absolutely deserving of that. Tucked away in the Great Wall super market plaza is this hidden gem of a noodle house. Tried the Mo with lamb soup and chicken noodles, both were excellent and absolutely worth the visit. The lamb and chicken were awesome, with the chicken almost melt in your mouth soft and the lamb cooked to perfection with just the right amount of chewiness. Noodles felt like they're hand made and cooked just right. If there was one complaint, I would say the soup is on the salty side, but that's how traditional Lanzhou lamen is. I would add some hot water to tone down the soup but otherwise it was a delicious meal. Will come back. read more

Oodles of Good Noodles. Family owned shop serving authentic Lanzhou handmade noodles. Be here for the noodles. . FLAT noodles - highly rec if you've never had wide noodles before, this is a good starting point. Traditional Beef Noodle Soup - is not spicy. Cucumber salad - a nice refreshing crunch as a cutting contrast against any savory dish. . This shop is a genuine experience with amazing noodles. Granted I only had one noodle order, but as a self appointed noodle snob, the flat noodles were perfectly cooked and appropriately long! I could've added more chili paste to kick up the spice but left the broth alone. Their Chinese noodles are the spotlight so if you're expecting pho, ramen, or pad thai - you are wrong. . Very amiable candid service during slow hours so naturally my food was delivered quick. . cheers (: read more

Chopin Noodle House's Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles are a great way to do Noodles & Company (Chinese style). You get different noodle sizes--from extra thin to extra wide and flat noodles. You can also choose how you want this served (either hot or cold) and either with soup or no soup, spicy or non-spicy. It is not a mix and match sort of menu. The menu is set; you just have to read through the choices for what you want. For this visit, we picked the Lanzhou beef noodle soup and the chilcken with belt noodles. The meats were all very tender (not chewy). The noodles were quite long and it may be a bit of a struggle piling them into the soup spoon with a bit of everything before entering your mouth. Nevertheless, that's the beauty of it not being machine-cut, I suppose. The belt noodles in the chicken order we got were no joke. Wide and long, again, diffilcut to maneuver, but still very tasty without being all doughy. For the appetizer, we got the mutton chops, which were more expensive than the soups, but worth the price. The muttons were very, very, very tender. Not chewy, nor gamey and the spice and sauce it came with gave it a bit of a kick. Portion was generous and with a side of rice, it could have been a meal in itself. It is fast casual where you walk up the cashier to place your order and someone brings you your food to the table. They have a little water dispenser for you to get your own cup of water. Nevertheless, it's a great find and it is conveniently located right beside the Chinese supermarket on Route 40 on the Catonsville side--where you can walk it all off. read more

Glad I finally got to try this place. I am personally a big of thin noodles so I didn't end up trying their thick noodles. My friend does love them so she really loved the chewy texture. The beef in the soup was super tender and the broth had great umami. My jajang noodles were pretty good. They had a decent balance of salt, sweet, and tang. It was on the salty side for me personally, but I think if you got extra noodles it would be perfect. I forgot to take a picture, but the tea egg was SO good. You could really taste the tea and the egg itself was nicely cooked. The service was quick and the restaurant itself was nice and clean. There was a piano in the restaurant that people can play. A kid was playing when we were there and it's not for everyone. read more

Delicious authentic noodles! We got the Traditional Beef Noodle Soup with original noodles and the Oil Spill Noodle (which has the wide noodles), and both were delicious. The beef noodle soup had good flavor, savory and not too spicy. The oil spill had a vinegary taste that some may not like, but I enjoyed it. It looks super spicy, but for me it wasn't too bad. I think the traditional beef noodle soup will be more of a safe choice. read more

The noodles are very fresh and perfectly cooked. The broths are actually super rich and flavorful. My favorite is the triple oil spill noodle which is savory but a little heavy and oily. Their popcorn chicken is good too. Their taro milk tea is also really good, but ask for extra ice because the amount that they give is not enough to make the drink cold. The only critique I have is that their chilly oil is not spicy at all. But other than that, I highly recommend this place!! read more

An excellent choice for delicious (and spicy) Chinese noodle dishes. We happened upon this place when traveling through the area and craving noodles. We mistook it for a traditional Taiwanese restaurant, but were very happy with our "mistake". We were welcomed with a friendly "hello" by owner which is a nice touch you often missing these days. Speaking of the owner, she patiently listened to and carefully noted my wife's gluten allergy when placing our orders at the counter. Our order came out quickly (under 10 mins!) and complete. The classical music gently playing the background is a unique departure from your typical Chinese restaurant. And later on the kind woman visited our table to inquire of my wife's background (Taiwanese) and the challenges she faces with a serious wheat allergy. I enjoyed the fried dumplings (baked to a perfect crisp) and beef noodle soup. You get to choose the level of noodle thickness - and they don't skimp on the amount of noodles either! While not normally a soup person, I'd get this dish again and again. My wife had spicy chicken with a side of cucumbers and seaweed. Everything was outstanding. Although a bit pricey, it was worth it. Unfortunately, we live ninety minutes away, but we'll be sure to return the next time we're passing through. read more

Saw this place so was curious but honestly it was just ok. I liked the noodles but the broth was ok. I got the "crispy" fish noodle dish which was the only pescatarian dish on the menu. Wish they had other pescatarian/vegetarian options on the menu. As for this dish, the fish wasn't soft or flaky but tougher & had some bite to it. It also wasn't really flavorful either. Not sure if this how it is traditionally ate but I was really dissatisfied. Probably won't go again unless they add more options on the menu. read more
