Julie's Noodles is incredible value-wise. The portions are huge and deeply filling -- between two appetizers and barely half a bowl of noodles, I had to call it quits. Hunger definitely gets humbled here. We came around lunchtime and caught what felt like the perfect balance of energy. Busy enough to get a feel for the restaurant without being overwhelmed, but by a little after 12, the crowd started pouring in, and the line nearly stretched out the door. That alone says a lot about how loved this place is on an ordinary day. I also appreciated the atmosphere -- it looked like parts of the space had been renovated (especially the tables), the warm wood tones made everything feel cozy and homey, and I loved the cultural wall and self-service stand. One thing I really enjoyed was seeing such a diverse crowd dining here; people from nearly every background packed the space, which felt like proof that genuinely good food knows no ethnic bounds. We started with the Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, and wow -- these came out hot. Like, proceed-with-caution hot. But the flavor payoff was worth it. The broth inside was amazingly potent and flavorful enough that I genuinely didn't feel the need to dip them in sauce. The filling had this pleasantly crumbly texture in the best possible way, and the pork and crab felt incredibly well blended. An excellent starter choice. The Flavored Black Fungus w. Onions ended up being one of the most refreshing dishes on the table. Flavor-wise, it reminded me of Vietnamese gỏi -- bright, acidic, and refreshing. The red onions had been tempered through pickling, so they brought flavor without overwhelming sharpness, and the vinegar-and-oil dressing tied everything together beautifully. It's a smaller plate, but comfortably shareable between 2-3 people. The Hot Spicy Stew (Malatang) was honestly one of the most sensory dishes I've had in a while. The spice smacks the back of your throat the second you inhale it -- though "spicy" almost feels like the wrong word because it leans more tongue-numbing than heat-heavy. The Sichuan peppercorn usage here is fantastic. Super aromatic, deeply flavorful, and somehow every time my BF lifted the noodles, another wave of spices would hit the air and smack me in the face (in the best way possible). Between the bold colors, aroma, and flavor, this dish felt impactful from every angle. As someone who loves lamb, the Lamb Stewed Noodle Soup was probably my personal winner. It reminded me of a cleaner version of miso soup (which already tastes clean), but with an added lamb richness that made it so satisfying. The broth had this flavorful fattiness from the lamb that made me immediately think, "Yeah... I'm going to need 20k steps after this." Zero regrets. I would order this again in a heartbeat every single visit. The Suan Tsai Spicy Beef Rice Noodle was the accidental order, and unfortunately, my least favorite. My friend actually wanted the spicier beef noodle option above it and ended up nuking this bowl with chili oil, which he swore improved it a lot. For me, the sourness leaned unpleasant rather than balanced, and compared to the Malatang and Lamb Noodle Soup, the broth lacked the same richness and depth. Overall, Julie's Noodles absolutely delivers on comfort, flavor, portions, and value. Come hungry -- and maybe with friends, because these bowls do not play around. read more

Julie's still hits. Got here at noon on a Sunday, about half full and filled up while we were there. Parking can be difficult but not an issue if you just wait a bit for a grocery shopper. Time to Order: 5 minutes for appetizers, 12 minutes for dumplings and soups Crab and Pork Soup Dumplings: 5/5 still fantastic Black Fungus with Onions: Nice and light, like a little salad with pickled vegetables. Nice and crispy. The good old Hot Spicy Stew #25: 5/5 still incredibly filling and they're so generous with meats! I keep forgetting to ask for swapping the glass noodles with their regular hand pulled noodles, would do that. Friends had other noodle soups and enjoyed them all, as I thought. Julie's is still probably one of the best noodle shops in Austin. Amazing value, amazing service. read more

I've had this place Julie's Noodles on my must go list for a long time (cause everyone says it is the best noodles in austin) and i just found myself going to the grand opening of a new Japanese general store called EBISU in the same strip mall. As i left EBISU, Julie's was across the parking lot so i finally went. Only the big table was available so i sat and a nice young couple sat with me and ordered so much stuff that they shared and i got to try the dumplings, scallion pancakes, and the chicken chow mien which i had ordered for myself. The food was was pretty good! I was overwhelmed with options and picked the Stewed Chicken Chow Mein which I enjoyed but next time will get something a bit spicier. Like I said the couple sitting with me shared a pork dumpling and and some scallion pancakes with me and were both really delicious and when I go back again I'll likely get them. The staff is really nice and the woman at the counter was sweet and asked permission to put other customers at the large table I was sitting at. Which I was happy to do especially since I was eating alone. I did feel sick the rest of the day so I knocked off a point. Hopefully it's just that my stomach doesn't digest noodles fast enough and next time I'll try dumplings or a rice dish. read more

Julie's Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Austin, Texas

One of my absolute favorite Asian spots in Austin that is deservedly a well-known classic. I'm very competitive so I love that you have to fight for a seat here and how it's very self-serve. It adds a homemade casual charm. The staff are also so efficient and kind whenever I've visited. I always get a beef noodle soup and douse it in spicy sauce and vinegar. The broth is always so warm and comforting and they give very generous portions of meat. The noodles are my favorite part as they are so long and thick and you can taste how fresh they are. They soak up the broth perfectly. As a pairing, I always get the mix dumpling plate. You can really tell that they make them in-house because of how unique and fresh they taste. The dumpling skins are so light and taste amazing. A top-tier spot in Austin. read more

Stopped in here after seeing the reviews. Just looking for a quick snack to save off the hunger pangs. Service was quick and easy. Order at the counter. Got the Pork and Shrimp boiled dumplings 12 pcs. $12.75 The dish arrived with 10 minutes. A plateful of dumplings and empty cup for condiments. I thought there would be a dipping sauce. The dumplings were flavorful without a sauce although I would have enjoyed an option. I added some chili sauce to the empty dish and spiced up things. By the end I was completely full and satisfied. Washed down with some authentic bottled green tea. read more

back to the noodle tour found this spot on yelp and check it out, this is the triple crown. it is cheap, good, and no tip. the place is setup like a food court essentially. you go up to the cashier to order and get a number for your table. then, someone will bring your food to you. you go to this area to get all your utencils like chopsticks, spoon, bowl, tray...etc thus, no tip. straight up china style. i order the suan chai or sour/pickle cabbage fatty beef noodle. the actual translation. wow, 14bucks, the xiao long bao was 12 bucks total under 30. everything was really good. really generous on the meat. the noodle was freshly pulled. it has the Q. the xiao long bao seems to be freshly made as well. they were bigger size than the taiwanese ones. gotta tear the skin and let some soup flow out, else u get burn if you just eat the whole thing and let the hot soup burst in your mouth. happened many times. i now always tear a piece of skin to let the soup out into the spoon holding the bao and drink it and let it cool a little before engulfing it. read more

Another staple I go to regularly and for some reason haven't reviewed!! The must get imo is the beef "burrito". It's beef slices and fresh greens wrapped in a scallion pancake. We also really enjoy the spicy beef noodle, pork soup dumplings, and the beef stewed noodle soup. read more

Today, my partner was craving Chinese food. We looked at DoorDash so that we could continue working while food was delivered to us. We sorted by highest rated and found Julie's noodle with a 4.8 star rating out of 5. I looked at the menu and found Handmade noodles!! I decided to order the Suan Tsai spicy beef noodles. Wow!! The noodles were amazing because they were thick, wide, flat, cooked to the perfection and tasted light like they should be! The soup was so flavorful with the fermented mustard leaves which I was hoping to see more of, but it was delicious either way. The beef was so thin, delicately sliced, tender, light and easy to chew. The broth is truly a work of art. This soup is now my favorite soup of all time!! I will be ordering this dish again. Next time, I need to ask for utensils because they were not in the DoorDash bag and it's hard to eat when traveling and staying at a hotel. read more

Revisiting Julie's Noodles! Seeing my old review, wow, Julie's has changed for me! The beef noodle soup I got this time was really flavorful and I am still impressed with their noodles! We came here for Sunday lunch and it was so busy. We barely got the last table way in the back. There's a random, buzzing noise in the corner of the restaurant. I can't figure out what it is. You order at the counter and the server will bring the dish over. Water and utensils are self-serve. It is a classic noodle place for both me and my husband now. (Though I still think the plaza looks uninviting). read more

I stopped by Julie's Noodles, known for their homemade noodles, when I was in the area. It is located in a shopping complex off 183. There was plenty of parking available. I went inside and ordered at the counter. I selected the beef noodle stewed soup and it was exactly what I was hoping for. They bring your food out to the table when ready. They have chili oil and other spices on the table so you can customize it to your spice level. The broth was rich and deeply flavorful without being too heavy. The beef was tender and plentiful, and the noodles are the best part because they are homemade had a great texture that held up well in the soup. It also had fresh herbs in the broth which was a nice touch. Everything tasted fresh and well balanced. The portions were generous and comforting. Service was efficient and the space felt casual and welcoming. If you are craving a satisfying bowl of noodle soup in Austin, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. read more

Pretty solid spot! The service was quick - you order at a counter and they bring your food to the table when it's ready. It's best to grab a table before going to order thought. They were pretty busy New Year's Day and closed early (at around 6 pm), we managed to order before the cut. The food was pretty good quality and delicious. The noodles in all dishes were nice and chewy, not overcooked. Had to get pickled wood ear mushrooms, I love those! read more

Nice quick again spot with a fair selection. They were open on New Year's Day for limited hours. Food here is pretty good. I usually get frozen dumplings here and fry them at home. Good deal for the size and value. After trying all three, i consistently get the shrimp dumplings. I recommend frying and steaming them but make sure it's cooked through. read more

Best dumplings in Austin maybe even Texas! Come early because the lines can be out the door. Closed on Tuesdays. Drink options are limited but love the cups for water. Self serve water, silverware, bowls for sharing and chili oil. Very clean inside. Dishes come out quickly and are piping hot. Pan fried dumplings are my favorite. When ordering to go, chili oil is charged. Bathrooms are clean as well. read more

Today was the second time we've gone to Julie's with the first time being a good while ago! So we had a vague idea of what we wanted, but of course we ordered the wrong thing. The staff there was so kind and explained what we actually wanted and gave us one on the house even though we completely messed up Overall the food is phenomenal!!! The soup dumplings ( which is what we were trying to get) were excellent, but honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything! The space is small so if you are going during a busy time take caution about your chances of getting a seat especially with a big group! They have customers for life! read more

We went on a Sunday morning as soon as it opened and it seemed quite busy and popular. It was a cute shop where you order at a small counter up front. I ordered three beef noodles with dumplings. But the lady at the front messed up our order and just got us the three bowls of noodles. We were disappointed but full after the bowls so didn't mind. They have a original one and a spicy one but I would recommend getting the original one and adding the chili oil on the table, that way you can try both broths while adjusting the spice to your own preference. The noodles were so chewy and delicious, it paired so well with the meats. The broth was deep and not too greasy. The portions were generous and was a great option to grab. read more

Hands down one of the best meals I've had in a looong time! I don't know if it was the unusually cold rainy weather or what but this place HIT!! The young man at the front taking orders was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We ordered the beef soup, chicken fried rice and Pork Soup dumplings. The Pork soup dumplings were sooo good. We had plenty of food left for the next day. The restaurant was clean but as it closer to dinner time started to become busy and probably needed more tables. Will definitely be back when I'm in Austin again! read more

We needed hot soup noodles for dinner because the weather that day was 49 degrees and this was one of the top lists. Their soup is rich with meat, noodles, and flavor. It was a bit overwhelming for me but my husband finished his. We enjoyed the mushrooms. I just realized that I am not a fan of Szechuan sauce and I was not able to truly indulge in my soup. The staff are amazing. Service is easy and quick, you order in line, pay, find a table, and wait for your food. They don't accept tip though. The place and restroom are clean. Price is affordable and yet good which makes the experience all the more great! I recommend this place. read more

To be honest, I felt a bit disappointed -- the food doesn't seem quite the same as before. The tortilla for the beef wrap was very thick, more like pita bread, and not like the beef wrap I remembered. The pig ear dish was okay, but quite oily. The noodles were pretty good though, with a nice chewy texture -- we ordered the pickled mustard greens beef noodle soup. Maybe next time we'll try the braised beef noodle soup. The decoration is good and staff is nice. read more

Got the #27 Spicy Beef Rice Noodle and it was so good. The noodles are long and super satisfying, and the broth is rich and full of flavor. I have a pretty average spice tolerance and this dish was definitely on the spicier side--had me sweating a bit but totally worth it. The place has a bit of a hole-in-the-wall vibe, but in the best way. It's actually really clean with a nice, relaxed atmosphere. There are a decent amount of tables, but just a heads up--it's walk-in only, no reservations. Water, utensils, and small bowls are all self-serve, which I didn't mind at all. Overall, it's a great spot and I'll definitely be back! read more

The noodle soup's soup was hot but not hot enough to burn your mouth, so there wasn't any difficulty eating it. The broth was light and flavorful, and the beef was tender and easy to chew.

Been here at least 10 other times after my first review. Still love this place and even more so than 3 years ago.

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. read more

I had high expectations since the house was packed when I came in, but leaving feeling meh.... You ordered at the counter, which I like. Get your own plates/bowls/drink. I quite enjoyed the boiled dumplings. The wrapping is thicker than what I am used to, but I assume this is a different kind and it worked. Very filling so I portion per person would be plenty, or you can certainly share. The soup dumpling was alright, good flavor. Chewier skin than what I like. The Chicken Soup noodle was meh... Quite bland to be honest. Not much to say honestly, I just think it is mediocre and nothing real special. read more

Best noodles in town!! As soon as you walk in the door, you can smell the wonderful aroma of noodles. I ordered the chicken noodle stew. The broth is nourishing and flavorful. The noodles are chewy and fresh, the texture is better than any other noodle I've had. The scallion pancakes were pretty good too! Chicken dumplings here were warm and comforting.

This is my second time visiting Julie's Noodles and it's as good as I remember! Went there on a Saturday around lunchtime and there was already starting to be a line. The set-up is that you order and pay at the counter - service was quick, and we got our food within 20 min of us ordering. Good amount of indoor seating and also decent amount of parking spots outside. Lamb Stewed Noodle Soup ($13.25, 5/5). - Amazing! This is my go-to order. The lamb + broth is delicious, and the noodles are thick and chewy. There's also woodear mushroom, seaweed strips, and cilantro that add extra texture and flavor. The complimentary chili oil sauce complements the noodle soup really well too. Overall can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for classic, flavorful noodle soup! The quality is consistent and the general atmosphere of Julie's Noodles is comforting as well. read more

Food was good! Experience not so much. The place is a bit small, tried going with a group of 8 on a Sunday around 1pm and we weren't able to get seats. Luckily we lived in the area so just made the order to go. Took a while to get our food, probably waited 30-40minutes. Service was a little confusing, I wanted to get fried rice on the side but they couldn't do that and they got one of my friends order wrong but my friend didn't catch the mistake on the receipt so she just ate it and didn't mind it. Restrooms were okay and although it seems Iike a lot of parking it gets packed. My recommendation, go when it's not busy, you'll have a better experience. It was too chaotic and probably not ideal for big groups. read more
