I liked that the noodles and spice level were customizable with the dishes. My favorite noodle was the thick round and my favorite dish was the chicken skewer. Dan Dan noodles are good if you like peanut butter. The flat wide noodles are satisfying if you're looking for a thick noodle. They don't really absorb flavor and is more for texture. The crispy tofu pieces were nice and big, I really liked them in the braised beef broth. The servers were very attentive, and they checked up on us periodically. read more

That this is even an option in a MALL is probably 5 stars by itself. My eyes set on Dan Dan noodles, a standard for any Chinese noodle place. I ordered at the two (out of three) spice level, and it delivered. Lots of garlic flavoring as well Service was quick and efficient read more

Mogouyan - Dan Dan noodles with flat noodles - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Located on the 3rd floor in the Mall of America, this noodle place has a noodle barista showing you thru a clear window how he pulls, stretch and cuts the noodle for every order. You are guided to a table where you can order the soup type and choose the noodle you want, such as round, flat to name a couple to eat. I choose round for my choice in my beef noodle soup which is good as the meat is sliced very thin and tender with 5 spice flavor. The service is very good here. Highly recommend read more

Mogouyan - Large classic beef soup $19 - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Best authentic Chinese noodle I had so far this year! I had classic beef noodle and five spice fried wings, both are really good! The handmade noodle is excellent, soup is flavorful, beef slices are very tender, wings are well-fried, juicy and tasty! I had extra large noodle, and there is a lot that I couldn't even finish. Will defiantly revisit next time in time. Service is very good, attentive and care for their customers. read more

I didn't even get a chance to snap a photo of the noodles once it got to the table or the five spice wings because we dove in so fast, and not a single regret. We arrived about 45 minutes before closing, and our waitress let us know we had 15 minutes to order. She was incredibly helpful, guiding us toward some of the most popular dishes: the braised beef, Dan Dan noodles, and stir fry. Thanks to her, we made the perfect choices. Everything was absolutely incredible, the flavors were exactly what we were craving. I'm usually not a fan of thicker noodles, but these were next-level. We'll definitely be back! 10:10 read more

Mogouyan - Stir fry with shrimp mild - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

I have been waiting for Mogouyan to open since the Mall of America instagram account posted that they would be opening their first US location at the mall. I have very fond memories of beef noodle soup from an internship I completed years ago in Shanghai. I have found a few places that felt similar to the restaurants I used to frequent, but nothing quite the same. Mogouyan however, perfectly captures the warming spices, heat, and comfort in their braised beef noodle soup that I have been missing! The noodles are hand pulled in-house and perfectly chewy. I have also really enjoyed the lamb skewers, which are always juicy with a good amount of smokiness and spice. If I have a bad day, I come here to feel better and if I have a great day, I come here to celebrate. Genuinely one of my favorite spots in the cities! read more

Great handmade noodles and great flavors. Friendly staff. Unique setup where you can eat at the counter and watch everything being made. Braised beef soup and Dan Dan noodles seem to be there most popular dishes so we just went that route. Both were excellent. read more

First time here after working at a Girl Scout cookie booth. Our group shared the fried tofu, edamame, shrimp stir fry noodles, pickled mustard beef noodles soup and it was plenty of food. The fried tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on inside. The noodles tasted very fresh and soup broth was flavorful with the beef sliced thinly and very tender. Would recommend giving them a try and the place is small but cozy. read more

First time visiting Mogouyan in the Mall of America and this place makes you forget you were in a mall, the the decor is simple but elegant, the service members are young and still finding their ways, they are attentive, courteous and relentless to help. In contrast the kitchen staff members are masters of their craft, on one hand they are molding, smacking, pulling the noodle, on the other hand they are braving the heat of the hot pots, coordinating ingredients, meat, sauce and spices to deliver a hot bowl of deliciousness . Great to watch, ot looks like a well tuned symphony orchestra at work. read more

Got to try this new hand-pulled noodles restaurant at the Mall of America pretty soon after it opened. A friend of mine was in town for a work trip and she had never been to the Mall of America so I decided to take her to MOA and grab lunch here. The beef noodle soup I tried was delicious. Glad that I got the large bowl because there was enough broth to bring home for my husband to also try some. The $3.95 for an extra side of noodles to take home was worth it. The service was good - the server we had was friendly and helpful. The interior of the restaurant is nice and it is very cool to see the hand-pulled noodles being made. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

Came here for our anniversary since it was a nicer hand-pulled noodles spot located at MOA. A chain restaurant from Canada according to Google. We came here around lunch time and of course it was packed but did get seated right away. If you aren't into eating hand-pulled noodles then don't come here because that's what on the menu plus some appetizers. Braised beef noodles - beef is tender and broth was good. Beef noodles with pickled veggies- the more flat beef slices. The broth is not as strong as the braised beef noodles but it's still flavorful. I did enjoy the pickled veggies and I think choosing the dish with it was maybe $2 more? Kind of expensive for some added veggies but that's ok. Comparison. First the size is very different as you can see. I think price between small and large is $3 so definitely worth the portion size. I think hubby and I could have definitely shared 1 large bowls. I think I liked the thin noodles more than the large flat noodles. Or maybe next time I will get the small flat noodles. The large flat noodles is huge as you can see. It was a little too doughy for me. Each bite was a lot of noodles. Spice level- do not play around with the spice level here. We got level 1 and it was spicy. I love spicy food but I'm glad I went with spicy one because I know Asian restaurant doesn't play around with it. If anything, you can also add in more chili but enjoy the broth and not trying to fight to survive because it's too spicy. Overall not a bad experiment. A little pricy in terms of noodles where you can get for cheaper but it is inside of moa so seems right. I'm not crazy about hand-pulled noodles in general but it was good. Would come back to try other noodles to see. Service was great and fast given that it was busy. read more

Another hand pulled noodle restaurant. I believe this has the flavor from Lanzhao area in China. Anyway, the noodles are generous in portion (comes in standard or large size), option of spice level and type of noodles (thin round, thick round, small flat or thick flat). They also have different items (appetizer, main and dessert). On top, they serve alcohol as well. Definitely will come again! read more

This restaurant specializes in freshly hand-pulled noodles, which made for a unique and enjoyable dining experience. The food was very good, and the noodles were clearly made with care. Our only reservation was the price. While we enjoyed the meal, we didn't feel it offered enough value to justify the cost. Overall, it's worth trying if you're interested in authentic hand-pulled noodles, but be prepared to pay a bit of a premium. read more

This place recently opened up at the MOA! I've seen it all over my social media, and my friends and I had to give it a try. The vibe is great and the place is packed. Their bowls are pretty large so unless you're starving, I'd advise against ordering a full bowl for yourself. We got the dan dan noodles at spice level 2 and it wasn't very spicy. If you're a spice connoisseur, I'd say get the spice level 3. Definitely coming back for more. The only downside is that the bowls are a bit outrageously priced, at approximately $20 a bowl. read more

This spot is so pricey. Be prepared to spend almost $30 a person per entree after tax and tip. You can make reservations but we still had to wait almost 20 minutes. Expect longer waits without them. Servers were nice. Aesthetic is minimal. Hand pulled noodles are incredible, but flavor of dish and portion was just okay. read more

Great experience to see them making the noodles from scratch! They have a QR code at the front area to join their waitlist. I highly recommend doing that during the lunch hour. The restaurant has a lot of sit down areas and a bar section. It was pretty noisy. They have a variety of different hot and cold appetizers such as five spice chicken wings, fried tofu, and different Asian salads. For each noodle dish, you can select the type of noodle (e.g., angel, classic, flat, thin flat) and spice level (1-3 levels). We got the level 2 spice level and both the classic and flat style noodles. The Dan Dan noodles were great. The noodle texture was firm and chewy. I would say the sauce was a bit too much for the amount of noodles that were given. The soup beef dish had more of a pepper taste. I would get the Dan Dan noodles again. read more

Really enjoyable noodle soups. We got the classic, the braised, and the pickled - all of these were flavorful and delicious. Start off at 1 or 2 spice levels if you're unsure. Skewers were tasty, as were the sliced potatoes (though I'll say we thought they tasted a lot like Pringles - do with that what you will). read more

I welcome any addition to the hand pulled noodle scene! This place did not disappoint. I will say their price is higher than meet up noodle but they have multiple portion options and are generous with the toppings. In my opinion I like the noodle texture more from meet up noodle but the convenience this restaurant offers while shopping at the mall is hard to beat. The atmosphere is nicely decorated as well and certainly does not feel like you're sitting in a mall when you're dining in here. Their chili oil is also really great and has a good cumin kick to it. read more

Delicious new restaurant inside the MOA! I got the braised beef noodle soup and it was so so good. The chili oil that they make has a nice flavor and really adds depth to the dish. I have had a ton of beef noodle soups, but still thought this one was made very well. It is a bit pricy, but I wonder if that is partly due to the fact that it is inside the mall. Staff was quick and friendly. read more

Authentic northwestern Chinese style hand pulled noodles. You will know it's hand pulled, daily made when you have so many width options to choose from. It's worth the price if you're a noodle fan and hate the texture of machine made noodles. My only complaint is that the lamb skewers didn't taste like they were grilled, but more like fried. read more

This was my first time trying a hand pulled noodle place and I'm glad I did. When you pick a dish they let you pick what type of noodles you want in it. Then you watch them make the noodles! The classic beef noodle soup had a light broth (too watery for me) but the flavor of the Sichuan peppercorn came through nicely. The tomato stir fry for me was the perfect blend of Chinese and Italian even if it's strictly a Chinese dish. I'd come back for it. I was surprised that even though the restaurant was mostly empty our stir fry took 30+ minutes. So we shared the soup while we waited for it (they should have brought them together). The server said it's because they only have one wok for stir fry's. Seems odd to only have one when the menu is basically either soup or stir fry. I can't imagine how long it would take if they were busy. My only other complaint is that they gave us children's craft scissors to cut our noodles. Not sure how they are properly cleaning craft scissors and keeping rust off them. Seems odd not to provide food grade scissors for food at a restaurant. Maybe next time will be better. read more

Great staff. Great tasting authentic food! They were fast and have zero complaints. It is busy for a reason.

We craved for hot soup on chilly day and saw that this restaurant was fairly new at MOA. We ordered an extra large mild classic beef thin noodle soup, an extra spicy xlarge braised beef flat noodle, and stir fried chicken flat noodle dish (not pictured). The broth was so flavorful and the beef cuts were extremely tender that the babies could rip apart easily and eat safely. Extra spicy felt more like a mild-medium spice level. We also tried fried chicken wings, fried chicken cut strips, dumplings, potato chips, eggrolls, and edamame. The wings had a delicious dry seasoning. Potato chips tasted good but were on the soggy side. Edamame's salt could've been distributed evenly. It was just sitting on top of the edamame like a mountain and it was a little hard to shake it with a bowl on top because the warm steam had the salt stuck in one area. We paired our food with sake bomb beers, a perfectly crisp after taste with a mellow buzz. The noodles were nice and chewy. Will be coming back for the noodle soup and wings and to try other apps we didn't get to try like the fried tofu and kelp salad. read more

Mogouyan - Classic beef thin noodle soup, braised beef flat noodle, sake bomb beers, crispy chicken strips, fried dumplings, crispy potato chips - Chinese Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

My first visit. Service was professional and fast. Tried the dan-dan noodles with "classic" style noodles. Was delicious. The dish was presented authentically with the dan-dan spicy sesame sauce at bottom of bowl, with noodles atop, and then the sautéed ground pork and peanuts atop the noodles - mix all altogether. The noodles were properly toothsome with delicious bite. Serving was a nice size. Spicy level was accurate to what I selected. Most importantly, the Sichuan mala from the Sichuan peppercorns (or peppercorn oil) was perfectly done. Small beer and wine menu/list too. I am looking forward to trying other noodle dishes on the menu. Also, one can stand by the front window and watch the hand-pulled noodles being made fresh. Located on 3rd floor of MOA on the south side of the mall. read more

Food tasted good; but the customer service needs a lot of work; we were a party of 3 and 2 of us got our meals but the 3rd meal took well OVER an hour to get, during this time nobody came to check on us besides once or twice for if the food was good; each time we asked about the 3rd meal, they said they would look into it but never came back to update or anything. read more
