    N1. 香茄肥牛过桥米线 TOMATO & RICE NOODLE SOUP
    Ailun H.

    Meet Rice Noodle is a rice noodle restaurant that opened up in Fairfax in the past month!! My friend and I got dinner here this past Saturday. The servers were nice and friendly, and our food came pretty quickly after we ordered. N1. 香茄肥牛过桥米线 TOMATO & RICE NOODLE SOUP - 13.99 Initially, I wasn't sure if I wanted a tomato-based noodle soup, but it was their first rice noodle option and 1 of 3 that contained a picture. At that point, I kind of had to, right? It ended up being a fantastic choice. The broth was flavorful and savory, with hints of sweetness from the tomato. It wasn't too salty or oily, so I was able to down the whole thing without regrets. There were plenty of rice noodles were which on the softer side and soaked up the broth well. The thinly sliced beef was tender and easy to chew. There were a couple bean curds, chunks of tomatoes, and green onion garnish that added to it. Overall, phenomenal bowl of noodle soup! I will definitely be back again. It's one of the best noodle soups I've had in the area with drinkable broth that wasn't too salty or oily. My friend got the pickled version of this and that broth was delicious, too!

    New rice noodle shop that opened near 99 Ranch! I'd heard good things, so came by for dinner. The staff -- and most of the customers -- were speaking Chinese, which felt like a good sign for authenticity. There's plenty of seating inside and a comfortable setup. I'm actually not the biggest fan of rice noodles, but these seemed really well made -- super bouncy and springy with a nice slippery but firm texture. They didn't break when picked up and held their bite throughout the meal. Tomato and Beef Rice Noodle Soup - I expected the broth to be more beef-forward, but it was really a straight tomato broth with beef slices added on top. It took a couple bites to adjust, but overall it felt light and clean. The tomato acidity mellowed out once mixed, and the beef was thinly sliced but still tender. I think it's well made -- just not quite my flavor profile, but I'm still glad I tried it. 2.75/5 Golden Pickled Cabbage and Beef Rice Noodle Soup - Tried a few bites of this from my partner's bowl. The broth is sour from the pickled cabbage with a nice kick of spice. Also light and flavorful -- and I actually liked this one a bit more than the tomato broth, though still not a favorite overall. 2.75/5 Cucumber salad - I liked the seasoning but I feel like there wasn't enough of it. Also feel like it could've marinated into the cucumbers more to give it less of the watery taste 1.5/5

    I loved here. Decor was cute, the staff was nice and greeted us immediately. The pork was nice and crisp, the dumplings took the longeat bit they did not disappoint. My soup was delicious, the broth was really light and I'm not sure what it was seasoned with. It was a different flavor than what I've tried. Overall great experience and will come back.

    The place has a modern interior, excellent service, and serving delicious rice noodles. The broth for the golden pickled cabbage & beef rice noodle soup, as well as the tomato & beef rice noodle soup were amazing. My kids and husband kept slurping the broth. The golden pickled cabbage & beef rice noodle soup was a tad spicy and I loved it. Another dish that we loved were their chive, shrimp, & pork handmade dumplings. They were so juicy and soft and delicate. I personally loved the golden mini buns as they reminded me of childhood. They were fried to perfection. Also the coconut desert was very good and something new that I've never had before. Dishes that we didn't care for were the spring rolls and crispy pork bites. The pork bites were not good. And the spring rolls were probably not made fresh and heated up from frozen. I would come back for the rice noodle soup and dumplings alone.

    N2 pickle fish soup was very delicious. Amazing broth flavor. Nice restaurant and very clean. Friendly staff. I will definitely come back and try another meal here.

    Nice new Chinese guo qiao mian rice noodle spot. The lady working was very pleasant and the food was good. The home might dumplings actually taste homemade. The noodle soups are really tasty and full of flavor. The lady advised us they use chicken stock as the base which makes sense for the flavor. We like this one. Much better than the one in falls Church.

    This recently opened Chinese rice noodle specialty restaurant at The Shops @ Fairfax is a must-visit for authentic Chinese rice noodles. While the menu is more streamlined than many other Chinese restaurants, the dishes I tried were outstanding. Chives, shrimp & pork dumplings tasted homemade, with perfectly balanced seasonings that enhanced the flavors without overpowering them. The Chicken & Pork Stomach Rice Noodle Soup was rich and satisfying, featuring a flavorful umami broth and a generous portion of meat and rice noodles that offered excellent value for the price. For dessert, I indulged in the Coconut Lava Balls--deep-fried treats filled with coconut milk and tapioca, combining a delightful subtle sweetness with a crunchy exterior. It was the perfect way to conclude the meal. Service was prompt, and the food arrived quickly. The ambiance was clean and inviting, making the overall experience very enjoyable.

    Homestyle Chinese "my-seen" noodles with the perfect chewy, springy texture (think bún bò Huế vibes). Small menu, modern space, friendly staff, and better value than Yu's and A&Jnoodle.

    The noodles were cooked well which is very important for the rice noodle and the soup was pretty good, liked it better with a little bit more vinegar and chili oil which you can ask for on the side. The chili oil chicken and cucumber was very good. Also got the pork, shrimp and chive dumplings, the filling was delicious. Would definitely come back and try another noodle soup flavors.

Food: there was a blend of Chinese-American, sushi and Thai. I typically do not go to restaurants that have that many Asian cuisines on their menu because it looks confusing to me. I normally choose more 'authentic' style restaurants. I want to state that so my review doesn't seem too harsh. 2 of my friends and I shared the crab rangoons, Peking duck and broccoli. Crab Rangoon was average but I did appreciate the sauce wasn't the typical sweet chili sauce. Our main had great crispy skin but the duck was dry. I was disappointed since it was $69 so I was expecting it to be a lot better. The broccoli had great taste but u was surprised that it was American broccoli and not Chinese broccoli. I understand it's Chinese American but maybe I should have read the description a little better. My friends did love it. Overall - the food was ok. The service was great.

The place was filling up and the ambiance reminds me of a traditional bustling noodle house - perfect for the cold snap we were experiencing at the time. We got hot and sour noodle soup, sichuan beef noodle soup, and an order of their pork soup dumplings. Portions are generous and prices are fair, it's easy to become a regular here if you live nearby. The hot and sour noodle soup is as advertised - just enough spice to complement the sour, but not overwhelm to make it feel like mala. It's served, as expected, with glass noodles, some bak choi, and some pork slices. Nothing spectacular but par for the course. The sichuan beef noodle foon soup was slight notch better. The broth gives really warm vibe and you can tell it's been brothing for a long time. Again just the right amount of spicy to make you keep slurping for more. The noodles were average, chewy, but not bouncy. Also comes with a healthy amount beef slices and bak choi. Again - a great noodle soup bowl but nothing jaw dropping. Soup dumplings were fantastic, however. The pork definitely has its own marinade and the soup is flavorful. The dumpling skin is well constructed and complemented well with the noodle soups - especially in cold weather. tldr; solid noodle soup spot, they seem to be consistent and really hits the mark when you're in a for your noodle fix. Soup dumplings are probably a must get side dish with whatever your main is

The tofu shrimp dish was another surprise favorite -- light but comforting, with silky tofu and perfectly cooked shrimp that paired really well together. For something more classic, the chicken and string beans hit the mark. The chicken was juicy, the string beans stayed crisp, and the garlic sauce tied everything together without overpowering the dish. To top it all off, the restaurant brought out dessert for my brother's birthday, which made the night feel extra thoughtful and memorable. Between the food, generous portions, and warm atmosphere, Chef Yan turned a simple dinner into a great celebration meal. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.
