It's my go to local spot if I was craving some dumplings. I didn't have high expectations at first but their soup dumplings and the Sichuan dumpling is bomb. Never tried the noodles so no idea but I like their appetizers. Fits my Asian standard for a Chinese restaurant. Would recommend going yah try it. read more

The soups were delicious. Not your typical Chinese fare but definitely worth a try. I had the Magic Pork Belly soup and the kimchi was fantastic, the pork broth had depth and super tasty, and the noodles were plentiful! The beef stew noodle soup was also good. The beef was fatty and tender like it should be. The beef broth was flavorful and adding some of the pepper oil on the table balanced it all out. The Sichuan dumplings were just okay but worth a try- not spicy. Next time I'll have to try the Magic Noodle bowl that is their namesake dish and the soup dumplings... The table next to me ordered it and looked really good! read more

My overall experience was okay and the only reason why I'm rating this place a 3 out of 5 is because of the taste of the food. Atmosphere was good. Very cozy. Dim lit and chill. Servers were quick and easy to communicate with. Prices were reasonable. Crowd was nice. Food size: portion was bigger than I expected. Lots of meat (at least for my dish...I ordered the Magic Beef noodles no fungus or mushrooms). The amount of noodles I got was great, it was really a lot, I couldn't even finish it. We also ordered the crabmeat soup dumplings and it was okay, you get 6 dumplings for like $7-8 but I think Chinatown's dimsum garden might have that beat with the 8-9 juicy and very soupy dumplings they provide. Food taste: The noodles were soft and good. The bok choy was fresh and crunchy and tasted good. The meat was tender and had a good amount of fat and muscles that made it good. The only problem was the soup/broth, I think it was very bland. I tried to livin' the taste with the soy sauce and sriracha provided but I feel like that still wasn't enough do anything. My friend ordered the Mount Qi noodles(which is supposed to be spicy). From a glipse it was very colorful with the array of vegetables and tofu and I believe she had some beef in it as well. Although she complained that the broth was too sour, she appreciated that it wasn't too spicy. Funny thing was as we dined there, a fellow customer went up to pay for tab and offered his feedback. Yes, I eavesdropped. But anyways, I overheard him say the quality of the food ingredients itself (noodles, meat, and vegetables) were really good but his broth was too salty. All in all, I would probably give this place one more chance because I want to try their "Beijing Bang" dish which is black bean flavored. Sadly, if that disappoints then I will not be going back. read more

Magic Noodles - Bruuuuh this soup was so bad I couldn't even finish it - Noodles Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Fantastic soup dumplings, pork buns, and noodle soups. Very Reasonable prices. Will definitely return

I was excited to see a noodle place was opening up near me now. But I was a little disappointed when they finally opened. The menu is very limited and the noodles are ok not wowing. I can't stand the pork at this place it don't taste right. I came again just to make sure i truly didn't like the place. And I didn't. I had to make my own meal I ordered rice and extra pieces of beef to eat as my meal. The steam dumplings were not that good either. Especially the crab ones they taste funny also. read more

We were excited to try this place due to its large menu selection of noodle soups, skewers and buns, etc. We tried the beef noodle soup, lamb, beef, gizzard and mushroom skewers, pork belly buns and beef scallion pancakes. Flavors of everything were decent and the soup base was hot and tasty. We were very disappointed with the quality and consistency of the meats though as they were all quite dry, tough and chewy. read more

This place is honestly so good, the portions are good, the broth is really tasty and the noodles are exceptional and fresh. I really recommend the Hot & Spicy Magic Beef for your first try, if you are ok with the spice. Its levels were perfect. read more

Its been awhile since I came back here... but I came back specially for their pork house bao... because til' this day, I can still remember how delicious they were. It seems that they've been quite consistent with the taste. Their pork house bao here is a must try, unless you're allergic to peanut... or perhap you could request them for no peanut... but who knows if they used peanut as an ingredient for their broth to make the flavor of the pork... so ask and eat at your own risk, just something to consider. The pork is cooked in just the perfect texture... not too soft or too tough... a balance amount of fat... not too much or too little. When you take a bite out of it.. you can taste the juice of the pork melting into your mouth and the taste of sweetness coming from the peanut with the texture of a light crunch coming from the peanut and sprinkle of vegetable. Oof, say no more. I think they might've added some brown sugar bits in there too, I mainly came back here to get the taste of their pork house bao, but their was noodles good too from what I recall; their noodles are hand-made! Freshly made! read more

food was just okay service was above average i had gotten the soup and soup dumplings. I like how the soup dumplings were made in the bamboo basket versus metal. the pork belly wasn't tender. the noodles weren't as thick. broth was bland. read more

A variety of noodle soup dishes with fresh pulled noodles. The soup bases are good and our Shanghai soup dumplings were good too! We'll be back to try other options. read more

This place is not that good. I tried like the food here but the noodles weren't that tasty and the broth was actually extra bland. They gave us promotional skewers and meat had a strong stinky smell to it. It was weird. Overall I did not have a pleasant time with the food. read more

I'm not an fan. Ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and it was bland, not exciting and not good. The crab and pork dumplings were good but not amazing either. read more

Best noodles around mayfair! I would definitely recommend the Mount Qi beef noodles! Mild spicy! Squeeze a bit of lemon!

Great little spot. The place was spotless and very clean. Soup Dumplings were very tasty. Staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely will go back. read more

Closest thing to a ramen shop in the northeast. Good bowls and pretty cheap for a large portion. Will definitely be having the spicy pork belly bowl again soon read more

Well being the fact that it's newly establish so I won't go full blown on this review but I do want to point something out for all new restaurant business owner is that if your staff isn't ready then postpone your grand opening. I m going to keep it simple because I really didn't experienced enough to criticize or give credit to this place but the staff definitely needs to pay attention to the customer. I went in there hoping for a high expectation for food and service but either one was high especially the service. We got seated as soon as we arrived but waited for over 10 mins till I finally flag down someone to take the order. It's a very simple menu so there's really not much to look at. The restaurant had about 5-6 waitresses and it was around 3:30pm so the restaurant wasn't busy or packed. It's the first time here so since this place it's known for noodle soup then let's just go ahead with their specialty. I ordered the house special and my other party order shredded chicken noodle soup. Mine came out on an average wait time and surprisingly the amount of food was quite abundance. I get to chow down this massive bowl of noodle soup that had a very mild taste to it not to mention it wasn't hot at all. about 15 mins later I had to quickly pay for my bowl and leave the establishment. The end! (The other party never got their shredded chicken noodle soup and was so upset got out of the seat and stormed out) read more

I had pork fried dumplings and the pork house bao and i must say it was excellent.... i will definitely be back. Only took 10 minutes for my order to be ready amd served piping hot . Awesome experience. read more

Wow wow wow biggest tastiest bowl of soup I ever had .. the flavor was amazing the service fast and nice ; clean and comfortable,, the meat was tender the noodle perfect.. it was perfect for this rainy day I can't tell y'all what to get but I had mount qi beef and I'm happy will go again and the aloe drink went well with meal read more

Let me start my saying this is a really decent attempt at Center City style Chinese up in the NE. For reference I only had the hand drawn noodle soup, pork soup rumblings and pan fried pork dumplings. The pork soup dumplings were pretty identical to center city's Dim Sum Garden but much smaller. I was a little disappointed in the pricing knowing what I get in CC for the same price. They were tasty just smaller and overpriced. The pan fried pork dumplings were good but fried a little too long for my liking as they were crispy as if they were deep fried. The soup however is where the home run was hit and the reason I have it 4 stars instead of 3. The soup was absolutely delicious and reveled the noodle house on rave street. The pork ballet was good but fatty so I would recommend the chicken honestly. They did put the chili sauce in it and the burst of heat was amazing. I would go back just for the soup. read more

Almost a year later. It's hard to believe that much time passed since the last visit. Well, the magic is back. My Taiwanese rice bowl was filled full and it was tasty! Fresh baby bok choy, cucumber and radish, oh and pork with some cumin? Seems a few of the appetizer choices may have left the line up with newbies in their places. Not a fan of the spring roll but the beef yakitori and hot dog were yummy. A must get is the grilled corn! my new fave. read more

I order one beef noodle，and then they gave me one pork noodle.So I asked for change，they just took out the pork and still have some pork in there. This is so absurd.Never come again. read more

Really great noodle house in the Northeast! Very clean, brand new building with nice Decor. My husband and I usually have to trek down to Chinatown to dim sum Garden for a good soup dumplings, no more! So glad to have a place in the north east. Will be back to try all of their skewers. Very good addition to the neighborhood! read more

This is the first hand made noodle in the northeast philly. Now I dont have to go to Chinatown. Tasty soup. I hope they stay because I dont want to go to Chinatown. Lol read more

Great place. This is my first time here and the waitress sat me right away and gave me some hot tea. Which was need cause of how cold and windy it was out. Gave me my menu and it was great. Right to the point. Got the spicy pork belly and pork belly boa. So good. I will be coming back here again.... read more

Nice decoration, very comfortable, good place to hang out with friends with fair value food. Like their noodle the most.

Pretty disappointing. The serving sizes are way too small and it didn't taste anything like I expected or anticipated. Very unsatisfied.

First time in Philly, and i can tell you, comparing to the noodles i get at Nyc, this blows it right out of the park. It has a great feel to its flavors, and i can tell its authentic. I dont really know why the other reviews are claiming things like how the food was sour, but this place gets a thumbs up from me. You should all definitely give this place a try. read more

Wow wow wow. This was my first time having spicy beef noodle soup and this bowl was life changing. The broth was so flavorful and beefy, the chili used was fragrant, the noodles had the perfect level of firmness, and the beef pieces were incredibly tender. My brother got the regular beef noodle soup and I wasn't a fan of that because it definitely needed the spices to kick it up a notch. However, my brother who does not tolerate spicy foods, thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

This is the place you go for the atmosphere or the decor. You go for the amazing soup noodles, hand pulled may I add. The dumplings with the addition of extra chili oil make a great side too. The umami flavor of the broth was like nothing I've ever tasted, don't forget the abundance of noodles to go along with it. I'll definitely be back to this place! read more

nice to have some new and authentic cuisine in the northeast. server was very friendly. small but cozy inside. dont be afraid to try new things and ask the server. pork buns are great!! wasnt a big fan of the soup dumplings (just not my preference) but my son thought they were great. go out on a limb and try a desert ---looks are deceiving it was very refreshing (hint purple rice) glad to see fishtown isnt the only spot with some good stuff read more
