The hubby and I ate here for dinner the other day. We had the spring roles, cuttle fish, and pork belly buns for starters. All were pretty good. We loved the buns, but the meat in them was a bit stingy. For our meals I had the singapore noodles and my husband had the duck noodles in the broth. The singapore noodles were pretty good, but again, there wasn't enough meat on it. There were only 2 baby shrimp on it and the shrimp is the only reason I got the plate. The duck in the noodles with broth was quite bland. My husband liked the duck at first because the skin was crispy, but that subsided as it soaked up the broth. Overall the flavors were good, some too bland, but we could move past that. We'd like to try more food here. We wish that they wouldn't be so stingy with the meat however. I gave it 4 stars because I couldn't give it 3 1/2. read more

Thanks Tony! Five stars for follow up. The food was truly delicious. Don't worry about the refund. Spend the money on getting the fan fixed. We will try you again in the future. There aren't maybe cases where the environment in the restaurant is so bad that how great the food is doesn't matter-but this is one of them. The greasy haze of smoke that heavily filled the restaurant during our entire lunch was too gross. We were informed 'oh yeah our fan doesn't always work.' I now am counting down my afternoon at work until I can go home and take a shower. ICK! read more

Delicious and tasty Asian fusion food. I've been here a handful of times, and it's been good every time. The food doesn't have the most authentic flavor, but it's a step up from your typical Chinese takeout restaurant. Coming from NYC, I wasn't sure what to expect and therefore didn't have high expectations, but I like it enough to keep coming back. I've ordered their broth noodle soups and the lo mein. Both were good, but I am eager to try out the other items on the menu. The service has been consistently good. They refill water, and food comes out at a reasonable time. It's not a large space so I could see wait times during dinner hours and the weekends. read more

Are you looking for a satisfying, delicious, and affordable meal? Look no further! Han Noodle is my all time favorite restaurant because of the quality food and service, all on a college student budget. The best items on the menu are the Steamed Pork Dumplings, and the Basil Cilantro broth Noodle bowl. These items combine simple ingredients such as Cilantro, Shrimp, and Sweet Chili sauce in a way that creates deliciously complex flavors! Come here with an empty stomach, because you will leave very, very full and wanting to come back for more! read more

Han Noodle never disappoints! Everything I've had here has always been delicious. Some of my favorites being the fried dumplings, Mei Fun, li Neun, and pad Thai. Can't really go wrong with anything on this menu, also it's always BYOB!! read more

Delivery, poor packaging delivery showed up leaking all over the place, Roasted duck was rubbery & tasted like it was reheated...based on other reviews I may order here again. read more

Great Cantonese, best Hong Kong style food you can find in Roc. Service could use a little help when they get overwhelmed, but there's a reason this place is usually packed! read more

Pretty good and great priced little place! I say it's a little more adventurous than your usual Asian. If you're open to new things then it is great. read more

If you're ever craving a giant bowl of noodles, this is the place to come! Han has some of the best noodle bowls I've ever eaten. They have many vegetarian options, as well as a variety of noodles to choose from. They don't serve alcohol but you can bring your own and there's a little beer store right next door. The food is great, you never have to wait long for it to be prepared, and everything is just the right price. read more

I had a very mediocre dinner at the Han Noodle Bar. For appetizers we ordered spring rolls and fried dumplings which were both pretty good. The crispy squid, however, was chewy and overcooked. My friend ordered the shrimp noodle bowl which was greasy and had no vegetables in it. The duck on top of my duck rice bowl was basically chopped pieces of ribcage with almost no meat. read more

Love the vegetarian options. Lots of options. Tofu spicy buns rule! But there are tons of vegetarian options that are great. Now that Bistro Ham is closed, this is only place I can get spicy tofu buns. Kinda of a small place and can get busy. Great for take out too. Definitely one of the few great Chinese places left read more

Due to Monroe restaurants not being open during their stated hours, we stopped at Han Noodle Bar. I thought they would be a good choice since it would be a late lunch and I had a filling dinner planned. We checked the Yelp recommendations and ordered the pork belly buns, pan fried noodles, and steamed chicken dumplings. Here are my quick thoughts. Steamed chicken dumplings - the winner. 6 for $3, slightly spicy ground chicken filling. Pork belly buns - initially dry, but discovered the sauce was unevenly spread. It was tasty during the bun's last quarter, but the meat was lacking juices. Pan fried noodles - bland in taste and look. My friend enjoyed the noodles enough, but it was not appealing to me. read more

Great Chinese place, especially for the price. I love tofu when it's fried and just almost crispy on the outside, and nice and soft on the inside. They have great tofu here that fits the bill (although they also have silkier, softer tofu dishes as well). The pork belly buns are yummy, but cost a lot for what you get. Other than the very decent Chinese food, they also have a cleaner, fancier decor, something cheap Chinese places often lack. While I would worry about taking dates out to many hole-in-the-wall places, this has the right vibe for a nice cheap date. read more

Ordered the Hot Horn Pepper Beef. Was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this dish.

I came back here the other day and the food is still really good. But I ran into the same issues other people have mentioned: the TERRIBLE SERVICE. So, -1 star Han, sorry. My last time here I had the pork belly with my noodle soup, and it was incredible. You know what's better than that? Pork belly steamed buns! UNBELIEVABLE. Next time I'll just have 2 orders of these for my meal. The crab rangoon and dumplings were okay. I didn't think the scallion pancakes were worth it. For my main, I decided to see if this was really an authentic Chinese restaurant. So, I ordered the "Beef Ho Fen" aka Beef chow fun aka a lot of other phonetic spellings. Basically, it's a stir-fried dish with wide rice noodles, bean sprouts, and slices of beef that I've had numerous times (see unnamed pic by Chris L.). In a word: awesome. I'm glad to say that this is just like what I remember eating in NYC or Boston Chinatowns. I thought the portion was a little small, but I'm a big eater. Enough with the good. Now onto the terrible service. Don't come here on the weekend unless you want to be ignored by your server. I understand that Han Noodle Bar is busy and that the place is completely filled with only 2 servers. But you should prioritize and at least take a table's order within 10-15 minutes of seating them. Or perhaps one of the owners could even take our order? My party was really annoyed when a group that came in after us had their order taken and food served to them before us. What gives, Han? I'm seriously thinking of only getting takeout because the food is great (props to the chef(s)!) but the service needs work. Or, I'll just come on a weekday when it isn't as busy. read more

My husband and I tried Han Noodle Bar for the first time this past weekend and really enjoyed our meal. First off, it's a small and intimate space with very friendly service. Our server was more than happy to describe each of their noodle options to me since I'm a total noodle novice which definitely helped in my decision making. We started with an order of crispy and delicious crab rangoons. Rangoons are pretty standard fare but these stood out as being exceptionally well prepared and not overly cream cheesey. They were served with a mango chili sauce which added to the tastiness. Next we split an order of the chicken buns which were amazing! The buns themselves are like a super soft & pillowy silver dollar pancake folded over the tasty filling of your choice. YUM! I had no idea such a thing existed but now I'm sold on buns! I had the singapore noodles for my entree and ate everything on my plate! Everything here was fresh and enjoyable and best of all inexpensive. We will definitely be back. read more

I was recently cross-contaminated by dairy at Han Noodle Bar. I told them multiple times that I have an anaphylactic contact diary allergy and asked 3 times if I would be safe, if there were milk products in any of the food I ordered, etc. I even told them to make sure to tell the kitchen to be extra, extra careful. I ate, I started suffocating, I took so much Benadryl that it knocked me out for hours, and my boss called them back to let them know that they caused an allergic reaction. They said there was no way there's dairy in any of their food, and there's no way it was their food that made my throat swell and almost sent me into anaphylaxis. That could be true, except that was the only food I ate that day. Not quite worth dying for, would not risk it again, but it would have been a delicious meal if they didn't almost kill me. Basically: Han Noodle Bar is not allergy or dietary restriction friendly. read more

Cilantro Basil bowl is pretty good. The fried squid is tasty as well! Spring rolls were ok, I would have preferred to see more shrimp though. I would come back! Prices were also very reasonable. Would recommend! read more

The name doesn't really do this place justice. When my boyfriend and I first discovered this place, we were skeptic to go in. We were think it was a place that was a bar and served noodles. At the time, it didn't sound appealing. When our friend said she tried it and it was good, I just had to try it for myself. The menu had so many things that reminded me of asian food from back home. I was having a hard trouble of deciding what to try because I wanted to try everything! I decided to get the Beef Brisket, Tendon with daikon. Oooooo wee was it SUPER DELICIOUS! I finished every single bite. CLEANLINESS: Very clean. SIZE: A bit small, but if you go by yourself, you can sit at the bar. WAITER(S)/WAITRESS(ES): Very nice, friendly, and attentive. And I thought Chopsticks cleared my craving of bay area asian food, but this is just the icing on the cake. I am definitely going to keep going back until I've tried everything on the menu! read more

Best waiter ever Thein !! Recommend the spicy fish so good! Would recommend 100% will forsure be coming back again for good service and good food! read more

Han Noodle Bar - Chinese Near Me - Rochester, New York

See all

Well why have we never stopped here before? A row of waving cats greet guests and just make you happy. A brief wait for a table assured us we had found a great meal. Hubs ordered pork lo mein and was served a beautiful bowl of noodles with smoky pork and crisp scallions. My Dan Dan lived up to its spicy billing, with its perfect noodle and peppery sauce. Tricky to find parking- drive around the block, and be sure to note the parking schedule posted!! read more

Han's is the best cheap Asian food in Rochester. It is also the best quick, good and cheap food in Rochester. Truly, Han's is the only place in Rochester that tempts me to spend money on food out of the house. The pork buns are really yummy and it's one of very few places that has some real Asian stuff I've never heard of. The duck is also very tasty. read more

I went to try this place at a very cold day while I was looking for some authentic Chinese food place. Both yelp and the Chinese student Association website in Rochester told me this is a place worth trying so I did. I ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and the braised pork bun. The beef brisket and soup were good but the noodle was mushy. To be honest, even the dry noodle stocked in my apartment has a better taste. Only wish the noodle could be more chewy. The bun has a nice flavor, but the pork has too much fat meat in side that I had to pick that piece out. There was only one waitress there and she wasn't very attentive. I caught her attention for a few times saying "excuse me". She met my eyesight and then just walked away to attend the other table. Ordered onion pancake and braised beef bun to go for my hubby. Both were average and didn't wow him. I'd still give it a four cuz the price is reasonable. read more

Loud, but a good college gig. Good food, they seem to do especially well with beef dishes, the noodles are of course amazing. I recommend the house roast duck appetizer, it's a little pricey, but delicious and good to split with friends. I've had the lo mein and chuanjiao beef a couple times, both great with generous portions. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! I'm new to Rochester and this is the best Chinese restaurant in the city! I've been there several times for both dine in and take out and I have never been disappointed. I like the variety of choices and everything I've tried so far gets 5 stars. The shrimp and pork fried rice and pork sticky buns are my favorites! read more

Amazing! Best noodles I've ever had! I'm making this place a weekly stop at the very least!

Just so astonishingly bad. The pho was four pieces of meat, four small bok choy, and a huge pile of noodles--wheat noodles, for some odd reason (they're the cheapest kind). The noodle stir fry was a stack of noodles soaked in soy sauce. Just inedible. read more

This place is always busy, and for good reason. PHO is the ultimate comfort food that I didn't know I needed until I found Han Noodle Bar. I highly recommend that college students, and others suffering chronic hangovers, check this place out and order PHO or any broth noodle bowl. It's the unofficial cure. Seriously delicious stuff here, including the pork dumplings that I order every time. The prices aren't too steep either, which I know is important to the undergrads that live in and around the area. read more

Come here often..some of the best Chinese in the city...recommend without reservation... Make reservations or you may have a wait... read more

I love the shrimp lo mien! The food here is excellent, never had a bad meal. Parking is limited to in the front or on the side street. Definitely worth it though. My favorite Asian restaurant in the city. read more

Best bang for your buck in Rochester, hands down. This place is always packed for a reason. Fresh, fast, lots of choices and BYOB! We just had dinner here with another couple, brought a bottle of wine (we also bring wine glasses bc all they have are saki cups), we had spring rolls and a main dish and the total for 4 people was $50!! You can't beat that. This is our go-to if we're going out with other people because of the value and food. We also learned that they take reservations so for once, we didn't have to wait on a weekend for a table! I hope I never get sick of this place because it'll be a sad day. read more

Our first visit to Han's: The pork belly steamed buns are AWESOME! You get 2 for $4, which is a great deal...as mentioned in other reviews, you won't want to share! The pork belly with preserved turnips was ok...very salty and seemed to be missing something...and the fat chunks from the pork belly are way too much to overlook...once taken out of the dish, we were left with about half edible portion. The service wasn't too great and upon check out, the waitress tried to keep $5 from my change, (I had left her a very nice tip at the table) which I really think was a bit shady and highly doubtful that it was just an accident. The atmosphere is cozy, however it could use some updating and more ambiance. I didn't find it as inviting as the Oasis Bistro that was there before it. That being said, I give them 3 stars for the steamed buns! read more

Normally my first choice for noodles and takeout the food has always been good! This places is always busy so I understand, but I just wish the staff could be a little nicer. read more

Normally I would give this place 5 stars for how delicious their food is but my rating is 3 stars. I had a couple of bad experiences regarding proper hygiene of those making food over the years. The worst experience I had was when the person preparing my order had just taken out the garbage but came back into the restaurant and started cooking my food without hand-washing and without wearing gloves. I complained and the cook frustratingly threw away my meal and started preparing it again...still without hand washing. I went back a couple of times since then and have seen some questionable practices and, at other times, have purposely looked away so as not to be grossed out. I have not been back for at least a year. read more

Would recommend this restaurant to someone who likes good Chinese food and noodle dishes. Han offers a lot of different types of dishes than your typical Chinese takeout. My family ordered the beef tendon red pork hock and the pork and chicken steam buns. All were great. I will be definitely returning. read more

Been here once during the hockey season prior to a game. There wasn't a wait and it's open kitchen. The prices were cheap, especially for the serving sizes. However the one down side was that the flavor wasn't really there for both the appetizer and the noodle that I got. But hey, noodle is still noodle. And for the price, I will take it. 3.5 out of 5 stars. I would maybe go back if I suddenly crave noodles as I drive by or something. FYI it was BYOB. read more

Real, yummy, great service, unpretentious and cozy. Not very many tables and it was busy on a week day lunch. The service was quick and we will definitely be back. I had broth with duck and thick noodles and they added a few extra ingredients for me with no problem. The broth was amazing, the duck was tender and the skin was crispy too! We left wanting to try everything on the menu. read more

Great dinner or lunch spot! My family of four includes 1 vegetarian, 1 serious carnivore and 1 picky eater and we all enjoy Han Noodle. Don't miss the steamed buns!! My favorite is the spicy diced chicken but I've had the pork and vegetarian and I loved them too. I have been trying the different non-broth noodles. All great so far. The other night we had the Szechuan hot pot fish fillet. My husband was served a large bowl of steaming red broth dotted with floating red chiles and chunks of fish. We were a little nervous that the broth would be too spicy, but it was appropriate for people who can tolerate a little heat. Parking is shared with Dogtown. Prices are modest. The servers are warm and welcoming. Highly recommended. read more

The BEST!!! After getting hooked on their super fresh and absolutely delicious food, it's hard to go anywhere else.

You will have a good portion of food at a very good price. Everything we have tried has been delicious, dumplings, stir ramen, pho, dry noodles, we would like to try it all. read more
