The menu options were as if you were reading a pho menu option. It's a different cut of beef per option. Not sure if they changed their recipe, but earlier Yelp photos show the traditional Chinese beef noodle soup with the darker broth. Now the broth is the light and clear. The broth was very bland and the chili oil on the side did not really help with spice. Maybe I would have liked the noodle soup had it used the peppercorn broth. Doesn't live up to the hype, would go to A&J for proper beef noodle soup. read more

I got the beef noodle pull and I was extremely disappointed. The noodles had a weird, soapy type of taste - almost like they didn't fully wash the bowl before using it. I ate outside, but while I was stirring the noodles and found this small fly/Beetle insect in the noodles. It could've flown in but still kinda gross. read more

Mian Pull Noodle - Beef noodle pull - Noodles Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

It was ok not big deal for the price of 10.44 what can I expect I definitely don't want to go back to buy soups in here I hope they improve the soup... the noodles were so tender. read more

First time coming here. It was hot outside so I didn't have the soup and decided to go with the pork and chive dumplings. The dough and dumplings are made fresh on site. The dumplings were lack flavor but they were fresh. I will be back to try the noodles. Came back for the noodles and leaving this place at 3 stars only for the simple fact everything is made fresh on site. I had the plain noodle soup with thin noodles. It was average, no choices for both flavor or spiciness. read more

Since it's in the The Spot, there was quite a line to order. It just opened in The Spot, so maybe that's why, but we waited close to 50 minutes for the noodles. It's shared seating in the area, so getting a table means seeing who can get to an open table first or hovering near a table that seems to be almost done. The food itself was pretty disappointed. I got the beef tendon wide pull noodles. Broth was really generic with no depth, and the noodles themselves were really uneven and also didn't have much flavor. The beef tendons themselves were really soft, which was the only good part about this experience. It was a long line (with the 50 minutes wait), so maybe they were rushing, but the guy pulling the noodles only pulled it a few times and it was ready for cooking. Entertaining to see, but it didn't make up for everything else. read more

This is the definition of mediocrity; noodles are ok but not great; I don't think it's hand pulled correctly since it's slightly curled; broth is ok but no depth; topping is plentiful but not flavorful; not worth the calories and I expect better from a noodle only place read more

The only thing this place really has going for it is that you can actually watch them hand-pull the noodles. The noodles themselves were mediocre. At first I was disappointed that they skimp you on the soup (definitely not a full bowl) , but the soup by itself was rather bland - adding the hot oil and vinegar is a must. And why are we being served warm, not hot, soup? No steam rising from it or anything. There's so many places that serve soup noodles in the Rockville area - I don't think this place is worth the stress of wandering a lunch hall with your tray, stalking people for a seat. read more

Definitely not authentic, however the noodles were pretty good and we got our food pretty quickly. But it ends there! For $9.75 a bowl, I think it's a little over priced. Very little meat and the the soup was very bland. I would rather go down the street to East Pearl for noodles. read more

First time there and thought we'd give them a try. We had the beef flank pull noodle soup. For almost $13, there should be more than just a few tiny pieces of beef. The broth was decent. To make things worse, the meat was terrible quality (more skin and fat than edible beef). Never going back. read more

The booth is located between the sushi place and the skewers both. There's a register on the left, the middles section for pick up, and the right side with a little window display area where they show how they pull the noodles. I tried their noodles twice. The first time I tried the bbq pork it was really good. The noodles were a bit un even, but what do you expect it's called "hand pulled". The noodles had a chewy texture, yet still soft. They were really long strands. Which kind of made it hard to eat. But I didn't mind it that much. The second time I ordered the spicy version. The broth was also good. It's on the oily side though. It look like just simple chili oil was put into it. Out of the two soup, it's totally base on preference, but I think the simple broth taste the best. It's more clear and simple, yet delicious. My boyfriend ordered the spicy beef noodles, he said it tasted okay- quite basic. Nothing very special. It had the same broth as the bbq pork just different meat. The dumplings were delicious. They're soft and juicy. The fillings were good. The reason why I only put three stars is because of the service. Both times I order, I did not like my service. Service is a big deal for me. Even if the food is good or bad. I had two different girls on the register. The first time I went I was served by a girl with glasses. She was quite rude. No greeting. I said what I wanted and she just put it in. After plugging in my order on the iPad she stared at me. So I assume she was thinking I was gonna order more- so I said " that's all" however she continue to stare at me waiting for me to give her my card. So I was like maybe... so I had my card in my hand already and reach out to the chip slot. After it was done processing. She just gave me my ringer and said "it'll be about 10-15 min". So then I took my card out. I asked may I have a receipt please. She proceed to give me one and I went back to my seat. She didnt tell me what the price is. I had to know what my total was. Hood thing I asked for a receipt because she charge me the wrong dumpling flavor. I looked back at the booth- ready to go ask her to change my order, but there was a long line so I didn't bother. I wanted chicken but she gave me pork. The pork filling was still good. The second time, it was also a girl. I don't remember what she look like, but she also had a stern face. Are all the employees here not happy working there or something, why no smiles. Maybe it was a long day for them or something. But I came at 12 pm this time. They were only open for like an hour. This time the server did the same thing as the other girl. She didn't tell me what my total was. However, She did ask whether I was paying cash or card though. Im like people want to know how much they are paying for their food. Please do so next time. But love the food, totally recommend the flat noodles and bbq pork. read more

The pulled noodles were perfect, not too thick, not too thin. The veggies were plenty and fresh. Cool atmosphere too.

me: the beef pull noodle soup is the traditional beef noodle right? cashier: yeah, it is got my order and it came back to be clear brothed...? i was expecting it to be the traditional taiwanese spicy noodle soup with soy base broth but it wasn't... the noodle soups weren't bad, and the meat texture wasn't bad, but it wasn't quite what i had expected. they did have soy sauce and chili oil available to spice things up but i didn't bother with them. the hand-pulled noodle show is quite entertaining, but the noodle is a bit soggier than i'd like. the cashier wasn't the friendliest, but whatevz. it is what it is. read more

The noodles are very soft and the broth is good. A lot of flavor and fulfilling to the stomache. I would recommend to others. read more

I gave this another try and it is still meh. Noodles all suck together in a blob. Broth is bland. Last time. Not going back.

I had only tried shaved noodles in Philly's Chinatown, but glad to find that I can get it closer to home! I ordered the scallion noodles (substituted skinny with shaved) and vegetable dumplings. Everything was cooked and seasoned well - opted to add chili oil to my noodles and dumpling sauce for the dumplings (duh). While I would like to see a veggie soup option, these dishes were great and I will definitely return for them! read more

Ordered two stir fried noodles, hand shaved and an order of pan fried dumplings. Despite confirmations during our order, after waiting 15min we got skinny noodles (Also very greasy) and boiled dumplings with holes in the skins. This is lunch. On a weekday, so it was not busy at all (we were only clients entire time we were here) read more

While the food was subpar, there is one very attractive, muscular cashier here. 4 stars for sure.

Broth was flavorless, beef was chewy, and noodles were forgettable. Please improve because this is a great concept

I am a huge fan of freshly rolled noodles and pasta so this place was a must-try. It s located inside The Spot, plenty of open seating. I ordered the hand shaven noodle soup and dumpling combo. What I didn't realize is they put everything into the bowl, but you can take a to go container and do what you like. The noodles had a nice texture, but didn't soften up until I was almost done with the soup. Al dente should be saved for a dry dish IMO. Broth was light and aromatic with plenty of chopped herbs. Dumplings also made from fresh dough and were pretty tasty. Overall, I liked it. read more

Authentic Chinese taste! Beef and soup were both authentic-taste and delicious!!

(3.5) I honestly don't understand why the ratings are so poor! It's really not that bad and such a convenient place to get a bowl of hot noodles. Yes the broth could use a little more flavor and the noodles cooould be a little more firm but I love there are different types of noodles to choose from and they make it right there! read more

The hand pulled noodle was quite good, although for $10.5, there was not much noodle and beef. I would prefer lotus garden's noodle soup.

This place is so racist I don't even know where to begin. Ok let's start off with how they only want to ask for black people's receipts when calling to pick up your food. I literally saw them ask for the black persons receipt then when an asian woman came up next the lady didn't even bat an eye. I felt so bad for that black woman who was confused and I could see she was angry but she let it go. Then there was an Hispanic guy cleaning the area and I heard one of the workers from the noodle shop say "do you speak English? You need to learn to speak some English!" But it was in such a condescending tone I was in shock. And all this happened in one day. I will not be giving these racist people a cent more. I hope people read this and get a firm understanding that we need to fight these racist people. PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY OF YOU BUSINESS! read more

I usually come here at night and every time I've been here (4+) they take at least 30 minutes to give my order, even when I am usually the only person ordering. One time I was the only person who was ordering and 10 minutes later I saw a guy come out and make the noodle by hand outside the shop, then it struck me: these guys waited 10 minutes after I ordered to even start preparing my order. No wonder it always take that long. Cashier person always, a white/Latina lady, looks like she doesn't give a shit. Food is so-so for when you're trying to have a quick (or not so quick) dinner. This place is not worth anybody's time. Going to avoid from now on. read more

The beef noodle soup is honestly just okay. I much prefer the beef noodle soup at Jumbo Jumbo. The one here is okay, it has some beef flavor but its pretty plain other than that. The curly noodles were cooked pretty well and they had some slices of beef and pieces of bok choy which was okay. I probably wouldn't get this again. I also didn't like how the bowl was super heavy but you get wooden chopsticks and a plastic spoon as utensils. I feel like they need to work on the logistics around that because it made it pretty difficult to eat. read more

Really, really great pulled noodles! The only veg noodle option is the plain noodles with scallions but it alone is worth 4 stars! Most of the other appetizers are vegetarian as well. The black vinegar, chili oil and dumpling sauce are great condiments and really bring out the flavor in the dish. The Spot, the Asian Food Court where Mian is located, has some other interesting food stands as well. Will be back for more noodles! read more

Having just moved down here from New York, I am comfortable saying Mian Pull Noodle is the best northern style noodle place south of NYC. I had delicious knife cut noodles with assorted beef, including very tender tendon and tripe. Some other people are saying other DMV restaurants are making better noodles or better soups, but I've been looking high and low and haven't found any others that fit this noodle niche. This place is the real deal. My only gripe is that they don't have fish balls. read more

The food is pretty good considering the price. The staffs are always nice and friendly.

I really like their Mian and their small dishes! I'd say it's authentic Lanzhou style pulled noodle, which is different from the Taiwan style beef noodle soup. For people who really like Lanzhou style, you should give it a try! Definitely four stars for the food. The waiting time is usually long if spot is crowded tho. read more

If you are someone who enjoys Vietnamese PHO, taiwanese pull noodle hits the spot at the SPOT (get it !?! hehe) Since I haven't had the opportunity to go to Taiwan, it was a wonderful opportunity for me to see how the pull noodle is made, right infront of you . Fresh meat and vegetables in beef broth is a "pick me upper " especially when you are not feeling under the weather. read more

The noodles were great but they need more choices for flavor. Maybe more spices, or other sauce that I can put in the noodles.

Unacceptable slow. Our order took 40 minutes. And the servers were rude to us. The soup was kind of OK, but we just didn't enjoy it because of their attitude. read more

Not sure what everyone is talking about but they have the best pulled noodles in this area. Other places don't even make their own noodles. The broth is really good too. read more

Dont try this place , this really bad food ever , the dumpling really bad , customer service bad , they dont knoow to say thanks with customer, special girl she need to know how to talk witth customer read more

The place is pretty unsanitary. And the owners don't care. Found hair in my food multiple times.

As a self proclaimed noodle expert, I would like to shed some light on these noodles. These hand made noodles may sound fancy but the texture is worse than regular store bought noodles. The noodles are tough and thick(some people might like it). The soup base is just ok, nothing special. Overall I would not recommend these noodles it to my friends read more

If it's late at night and I need something to eat, this is my to go place for their duck pulled noodles. My only complaint about it is that they include less desirable parts of the duck such as the neck. Sometimes the duck is really good, whereas other times it's just so so if they give you mostly bones and neck parts. read more

The beef was not tender, the portion size was small, the soup was bland, and on top of that this place appears to be run by teenagers. I asked for a cup of water, and they told me that they don't have water, but they sell bottles of water. If I could give them negative stars, I would. read more
