My friend and I went here on a whim before seeing Mirador at the Belcourt theater. We wanted noodles, and figured this was going to be just another noodle bar but to our surprise, it was an authentic Chinese restaurant. Nobody was inside, it was just the two of us. Very quiet. The owners spoke little English, but the food was amazing! I highly recommend going. read more

The daughter was eager to bring me to Meet Noodles. She was so happy to have found a place that served Chong Qing Broth and Sliced Noodles which she missed from her undergraduate years in Hawaii. It was an interesting restaurant as we walked in. The decor didn't come across as Chinese. I'm glad my daughter was familiar with the place because I would not have known to go to the back counter to order. I tried asking a couple things about the menu but could not understand the worker that well. It seemed that he couldn't understand me either because he initially put in the wrong orders -- my daughter caught it before we paid. Very reasonable prices. I ordered the Roast Duck Noodles with the Marinated Egg added. My daughter got her usual "Build a Bowl" of Chong Qing Broth, Sliced Noodles, Steak and Fried Egg. I thought I had ordered a Shrimp Wonton appetizer, but a bowl of soup arrived. After asking the worker about it, he just kept saying it was soup (I know), so I just left that alone. Overall quite delicious -- very authentic Chinese flavors. Excellent house made noodles. The depth of flavor in the broths was fantastic. The proteins were seasoned nicely and cooked well. The bok choy in my soup still had a nice bite. The fried egg was crispy on the edges and perfectly runny in the middle. Unfortunately, I found the marinated egg too salty. Service was minimal -- after ordering, the food comes out and that's it. If you need something, you have to get up to ask. No one checks in. The area wasn't busy when we arrived, so parking was very easy right in front. I'm told it does get tough during peak times. I would definitely return for the food, not the service. read more

I haven't been here in a while. Chilly day here in Nashville. Perfect day for some broth and noodles. We warmed up with a bowl of broth for me. My husband had C 11. Beef with bok choy. He just said it's absolutely yummy. We are here during lunch. Plenty of seating. FREE parking spots in front of the restaurant. Very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable about the menu. read more

The soup noodles are pretty good. Broth is decently tasty and some are better than others. The duck was kinda soggy and could be crispier. The pork cutlet was crispy but a bit salty but the soup was good overall. The seafood soup was a bit better and Zhou's beef noodles were also good. read more

It'll satisfy a craving for noodles. But compared to top-tier spots it's not something I'd go out of my way for- it's solid, but we've been to a lot better restaurants like this (with the caveat that we haven't experienced many noodle shops in Nashville proper). read more

This place seems to be in a busy area. Only parking is on the street and you have to pay. When I walked in , it looks pretty run down. The pork dumplings were good. You can tell they make it from scratch and not the frozen ones. The takoyaki was good. Also makes from scratch. A bit crispy on the outside. I had the tomato broth with beef and wide noodles. The broth itself is a bit bland but some people like that. A bit pricy But food is decent. read more

Dumplings and Noodles, oh my! I visited for lunch and I'm glad I did. Atmosphere and service were ok, but the food was good and the prices were fair. I really enjoyed the flavor of the Spicy Sour Noodles. The broth was delicious and the soup was full of delicious components, including some perfectly cooked bok choy. The sweet potato glass noodles were super long and a bit difficult to manage, but they tasted great. Our table really enjoyed the Pork and Chives Dumplings and the Basil Fried Chicken that we all shared. The roast pork buns were good also. My friend really enjoyed his bowl of Steak Noodles. Come here expecting good food at fair prices and you won't be disappointed. read more

We just went to Meet Noodles for the first time and loved it! They have their own parking spots, such a perk on a pay street. I got the steak noodles, it's definitely a lightly flavored pallet for you to add onto. The spicy at the table is delicious, do it!!

Walked over to this restaurant. Nice tiled walls inside, seemed clean. A couple of booths well worn. Pork and chive dumplings were good, tasted handmade. Beef skewers were ok, very small and a little spicy. Beef soup broth was tasty and noodles were good, but portion was pretty small and beef bits were full of gristle. Pork cutlet was decent over rice, did not like the egg included. Service was indifferent at best. read more

The picture doesn't do it justice. The portions are HUGE. I had a build your own and it was a great deal. Their pickles (chinese mustard) are awesome. Our waitress was patient and helpful. They have 2 free parking spots in front of the restaurant. We also got the bao buns, but wished there was a bit more filling. Overall place is a great deal with authentic food. Will definitely be back. read more

Meet Noodles - Build Your Own Bowl - Noodles Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I am a frequent visitor of this restaurant, as I often crave a warm and hearty bowl of Chinese beef noodle soup. To me, the best item on the menu by far is Zhou's beef noodle soup. Generous portion size with nicely marinated beef cuts and bok choy. The soup broth is very savory and delicious. Have ordered a few other things off the menu (basil fried chicken, tonkatsu, cold spicy chicken) and nothing has really hit the spot like the beef noodle soup. Seating is cozy, server is prompt, items are a bit pricey (ends up being about $20 per person per meal) for what they are. Overall a place that makes a few things really well, but not everything on the menu is as great! read more

We live near by. Ordered for pick up. The food was ready to go when promised and tasted good when we got home

When my mom and I came in the restaurant was empty and we were not greeted. There was only one person working and he made no effort to ask if we had any questions or check on us throughout the meal or really talk to us at all. The chicken in my noodle bowl was rubbery, and the water literally tasted like it had been drawn from the toilet. I will never eat here again or recommend to anyone else. read more

Meet Noodles is located right next to Vanderbilt's campus and you will need to rely on street parking in this neighborhood. I came in about 30 mins before their closing time and they were kind enough to accommodate me! When I walked in, I noticed that it is a very casual place with students actually studying at multiple booths. I did a build my own with chongqing broth and noodles, ground pork, and bok choy. I do wish the broth had been more savory. I felt that it was lacking slight depth of flavor. However, once I put some chili oil in it, it tasted pretty good. The veggies, meat, and noodles were all cooked very well. This is a solid place if you have have soupy noodle craving! read more

Meet Noodles - Chongqing Noodles - Noodles Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We've been searching for good Chinese food since moving to Nashville, and we finally found it at Meet Noodles. Everything we tried was fantastic. I had the braised rice with pork and a side of dumplings--both were delicious, and you could tell the dumplings were made from scratch. My wife had the beef noodle soup and loved it. The owner even came over to chat with us--super nice guy, which made the experience even better. This is the kind of place we'll be coming back to often. Highly recommend! read more

My daughter loves the tomato sirloin noodle soup. Beef is too tough, but overall really great flavor.

Amazing place to eat with family or friends! I've been here so many times and every time it hits the spot. The vibe and the food are so comforting. My favorite is the Fish Ball and Wonton Noodles. Big portions and wonderful flavor. The staff are all super welcoming and engaging, too. This place is authentic Chinese food and I love it. read more

This was the driest, nastiest Taiwanese basil fried chicken I've ever had in my life. I chewed each piece so hard that my jaw was popping. I genuinely think it was day old chicken microwaved on the plate and then served. I brought up this issue to the waiter and they did not offer any solution besides saying "yeah our customers complain about that often". Not worth $9 at all. read more

After having a fun time visiting the Parthenon and more at Centennial Park, I was ready for a late lunch. I did a search on Google Maps and got chains that I wasn't feeling. Instead, I did a search on Yelp and Meet Noodles came up. It was a hot, muggy day. Was I up to getting a piping hot bowl of noodles in soup with an excessive heat warning? Sure, why not? I was sweaty anyway, so might as well go for it. This Meet Noodles is across from a plaza with Bank of America and a dental clinic. Vanderbilt University is nearby. I actually parked near the dental clinic because the shade there was great to keep my car cool. I parked there and walked across the street to hit Meet Noodles. If it wasn't so hot, I would have parked in front of the eatery. All parking spots were available with no shade for your vehicles. There is patio seating on the veranda part of what looks like a converted house. I doubt that anyone wants to sit there under excessive heat. I didn't see a ramp for those requiring accessibility support. There are steps to get to and from the main entrance. I walked in and a nice man greeted me. I got a booth immediately. There were a couple of folks eating. It was nicely air-conditioned. I got the following items: - Shanghai pork buns (5) with dipping sauce - Steak noodles in soup - Peach fruit tea I asked for water and got iced water. My peach fruit tea also came. Both were icy cold, which I appreciated. The peach fruit tea had fixed sugar. It was sweet, but not overdone. It was perfect, refreshing, and delicious. My Shanghai pork buns arrived next. The buns were so cute. Each one was good. The pork filling was flavourful and had the right amount of juiciness in each bite. The exterior of each one was fluffy and perfect. These were the real deal. They were authentic and scrumptious. Likely to cater to western eaters, dipping sauce accompanied the buns. The sauce tasted like a boring sweet and sour sauce that had little flavour to it. I dipped once and left it alone. I recommend skipping this sauce. My bowl of steak noodles in soup came. It smelled incredible! Just having this bowl of noodles in front of me made me happy. The broth was flavourful with a bit of a spice kick. I loved the green onions in it. The steak was tender and perfect. It came with baby greens that were tender and provided a nice contrast, both in texture and colour. The noodles were excellent. They were chewy and fresh. I enjoyed this dish immensely. A female staff member, who likely was in the kitchen making my food, sat a couple of booths away from me to have lunch, too. It is a comfortable dining room. I paid with a credit card. I tipped and all was well. I didn't bring my USB C cable with me. I could have charged my phone as I ate. I liked that you had outlets to charge your phone and laptop at each booth. They were a nice touch. I used the washroom before leaving the restaurant. It was clean. There are two single-stall unisex washrooms. They are across from the payment counter. I thanked the nice man and left. I took my iced water with me. My tummy was content with excellent food. Yelpers aren't wrong. This place has authentic Chinese food. I still dream about that bowl of steak with noodles. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd return in a heartbeat. (282) read more

Food Quality 4* Portion Size 2* Service 1* OVERALL 2* I had a little difficulty with ordering as the server wasn't understanding my dietary needs. It was only after using my limited mandarin did we finally get on the same page although she was still dismissive of my request. So I just decided to order from the make your own bowl. I just wanted a soup bowl and therefore got the Tom Yum broth $4 (filled halfway), Sirloin $3 for 3 small square pieces of meat, Bok Choy $1.50 for 1 stalk cut up, Fish Cake $1.50 for 1 tiny cube sliced in half. The taste of the broth varies from very bland to the Tom Yum which was good but I was too exhausted to argue that the server gave me a different broth to top off the halfway filled soup bowl so I just dumped it into the main bowl. PS - They have a sign on their door that they need Part-Time servers. There's a lot of potential for improvement. read more

You know it's good when it's only Asians in the restaurant and they don't have forks (actually they might have forks but I couldn't give up my pride to ask for one). Our waitress did not speak very good English and did not really understand me when I asked for recommendations -- but she and the rest of the staff were still very friendly. I ended up with the beef brisket rice and was very happy with my decision. It is a very large portion and very filling. The brisket was full of flavor and the veggies complimented the meal very well. I was worried I would regret my decision of not getting noodles but I am fully content. Parking was a bit stressful...it was a Sunday so I took my chances and parked in the bank parking lot across the street. There is also some outdoor seating so you could sit on the patio and keep a watchful eye on your car if you are risky like me. :) read more

I can't believe it took this long for us to visit. We were extremely impressed with everything. It's a nice little hole in the wall spot near Vandy. We tried the rib and mushroom noodles, spicy sour noodles, sesame balls, pork and cabbage dumplings, and takoyaki. Everything was fantastic, but the appetizers were some of the best dishes I've had in town. Especially the takoyaki...just a flavor explosion. We will be back asap. read more

We ordered takeout from here so I can only review on their food. I will say that their food was very authentic and the broth was delicious. I recommend the Zhou's beef noodles. It had lots of flavour, and it's even better if you add a bit of spice. I will say though, that we had some difficulty with our order since the person taking our order had trouble understanding us, and we had to repeat the order a few times. Even after that, the spice level was mixed up between the orders. We weren't too frustrated about that because the food was still delicious read more

Meet Noodles is such a gem in Hillsboro Village! My friend and I went and got a bunch of small places to share. Our waiter was so great and recommended us some of his favorites - they were all delicious! The basil fried chicken was my favorite of the small plates.

Really decent place in the area. We definitely enjoyed the basil fried chicken which DID NOT have any basils or basil flavors but it was still good. Zhou's beef noodles was pretty okay with a flavorful broth. I expected the Chongqing noodles to be spicy but it was actually kinda bland in my opinion. Their chili paste on the table was not spicy at all but still tasty. The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because there wasn't much of a service. Don't take me wrong tho, their staff members were really friendly and nice but nobody checked on us during the meal and I had to track down their servers TWICE because they forgot about our fried chicken. Other than that, the place is decent and worth a try! read more

Location is easy enough to get to but parking is another story. Thankfully we got there early and found good parking. It was paid, but we're not familiar with the area. There could be/have been free parking elsewhere. The menu has plenty of options (some clearly very authentic, if not all). If you aren't sure of something you see, ask the waitstaff. Our waiter was very helpful in correcting what was listed on the menu as included ingredients vs what was actually in the dish (e.g. acid beans weren't in any of the dishes but were listed under several). He also happily made a substitution on a dish he recommended for me (e.g. ground pork instead of pig intestines). DH + 2 kids and I ordered multiple dishes - all except apps were served in broth as stated on the menu. Steamed pork dumplings were ok. Skin/wrap was good, filling a little different than we've had in past but ok. The kids liked the steamed pork buns (bao) but DH and I didn't care for something in the flavor. The flavor of the Chongqing noodles I had was pretty good. The noodles were excellent and by far best I've had. Texture was great and the chew was really good. One kiddo had Beef Noodles and the other had Steak Noodles. Neither liked the meat and said it was tough and difficult to eat. They said the flavor of the broth was ok but not enough to overcome the meat. DH had Spicy Sour Noodles and did not care for it overall. Flavor just didn't deliver and the clear noodle just wasn't as good he had hoped. The facility seemed clean enough but smelled very very heavily of frying oil. We all smelled of it when we came out and as we finished up our afternoon gallivanting. Considering the other good reviews, I'm thinking we might have gone on an off day or possibly off time? I can't say we will be return customers though. read more

What a great find! This is super close to the Vanderbilt campus so they definitely get a ton of business. We were visiting from out of town and wanted something quick and easy at the end of a long drive, and we weren't disappointed. The broth was flavorful and noodles were great. My husband replaced the normal noodles with the knife shave noodle and I personally think their normal noodles were better. You can build your own soup/ingredients here so you can get customize for what you want. One thing is our waiter doesn't seem to have great English so it took a few tries to get our order down. Not a deal breaker of course since we can just point. 4 free parking spots available in front of the restaurant, but plenty of street parking around - I think you have to pay but we got here late and didn't need to. read more

The most authentic and good quality Chinese food in Nashville. Love this place!! The staff was quick as well!

Just okay....I have had better broth at several ramen/saimin places here in town. Noddles and protein were good and typical.

There's indoor seating at the moment as they are completely renovating the entire inside of the restaurant. We were sat on the outdoor patio and it was great for people watching and getting some fresh air. We ordered way too much food, but all of it was delicious and flavor filled! Two orders of dumplings for table; the pork and chive and cabbage and pork. Plus an order of mini seafood rolls. No idea what seafood they used, but they were still good. The dipping sauces were clutch for both of these treats. My tomato sirloin noodles were fantastic and the portion was huge! The broth was a spicy tomato base with a nice spice, hint of oil, lots of veggies and sirloin. The sirloin was a little fatty for me, but the non-fatty bites were tender and a awesome addition to the soup. Like I said the soup portions here are huge and you'll definitely have leftovers for the next night or two! read more

I had an outing here on a Friday evening. The restaurant was empty except for one other party. The menu had several options between appetizers, soups, and drinks. I decided to go with the shanxi sliced noodles. Soup is not my preference for any meal but can be quite warming in the winter, however this was summer time. My hot soup arrived and I began to critique the broth which is the foundation of any soup. I was quite pleased with the rich flavor that it imparted as I sipped away. The beef was thin and tinder and the bok choy wasn't over cooked. The noodles appeared to be fresh from the taste and texture. It had a very good flavor profile overall. I did try the vegetable noodle soup as well. I found it to be very bland and lackluster. It paled in comparison to the shanxi. I think I will have to return in the winter and try one or two more soups to form a better judgement of the food. read more

I visited Meet Noodles on a chilly Saturday afternoon on November 28, 2020. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor seating on the patio is available. Unfortunately, there's no patio heaters, so I'm not sure how this place will be attracting customers as the weather gets even colder. The Chinese chives pork dumplings were okay. They taste like the dumplings you can get from the frozen section at your groceries. I felt like the chongqing noodles tasted like and had the same consistency and texture as the noodles for chicken noodle soup - kinda like a angel hair pasta. The broth itself tasted rich and deep, but oily. The wontons were very small and sad. The takoyaki was seasoned, but was filled with a lot of starch batter and very little octopus, which was disappointing and I would not recommend. The steamed bun was good but stingy with the filling. read more

This review is for takeout only, and I had a great experience ordering some dumplings and apps - I ordered right from the counter since I was walking around the neighborhood and came back 15 minutes later to grab my eats. I took them back to my hotel and enjoyed with some vino, and overall great move on my part. I went with the pork and chive dumpling and the pork buns. The filled on the buns left a bit to be desired in terms of flavor and texture. The bun itself lacked a bit of moisture you'd typically find in a steamed bun, but whether that's on the fact that it was takeout or the preparation I don't know. The pork and chive dumplings were AMAZING. So delicious and fried to perfection, I would order exclusively those moving forward if I lived in the area. All of the noodle dishes I saw coming out looked wonderful. Overall, a great spot for convenient takeout or dine in. read more
