Pickled mustard beef noodles soup
Hoa N.

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.

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!

Small verses the portion

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Braised beef noodle soup

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.

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.

Scissors

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.

Classic beef thin noodle soup, braised beef flat noodle, sake bomb beers, crispy chicken strips, fried dumplings, crispy potato chips

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.

I have been eating here every time I go to MOA. I think they have the best Chinese noodles here and the service was amazing too.

Flat noodles.

In true family-style fashion we got plenty of dishes to share: some appetizers and some "main dishes" as well. The Xiao long bao and beef burrito are great starters.

Both great portion sizes for main dishes with plenty to take home if needed. The restaurant is large and spacious nestled in a strip mall, and the service was fantastic.

The service was lacking a bit - I was hoping someone could walk me through the menu but that wasn't the case. We tried an assortment of food - I really liked the fried rice. I also tried the garlic chicken fried noodle dish. The noddles were nice and fresh but the sauce was a bit too sweet for me. Next time I want to try the Biang Biang noodle dish because it looked good! Overall, good food if you know what to order, but don't except much in the way of service and decor.

Came here on a Sunday night looking for a bite to eat with my brother. At the door we were greeted…read moreby the owner who spoke very little English (a tell tale sign of some kickass Chinese food). She seated us in a roomy booth and immediately brought us some waters. We ordered a the fried dumplings and the sesame balls. Both were absolutely delectable, best of each I've had in my life. The sesame balls had a crispy sesame coated exterior with a sticky bun interior and sweet bean filling. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked to delicate perfection and were accompanied by a soy sauce with freshly minced garlic. Those didn't last 2 minutes on the table. We ordered the twice cooked pork and stirfry lamb as entrees and, as other reviews have said, the portions were generous. As for the the meats, they were thinly sliced, tender, and cooked to perfection. The spice level was right on point, not enough to numb your tastebuds but surly will leave you with clear sinuses. The spice contributed significantly to the succulent flavors found in each dish. Each entree comes with a bowl of buttery white rice. As a man of high caloric intake I was very satisfied with this establishment's CPD factor. As a genuine touch, there is heartfelt apology for rising prices due to rising ingredient cost and bird flu found at the bottom of each menu. 10/10 will eat again.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!

I mean not one person came to the front of the restaurant while we were standing there. Just stared and carried on. There were 4 women that looked to be servers that came out of the kitchen and seen us at the podium and kept going back to whatever they were doing. you can see in the pic there's a woman folding napkins as we waited. after 4-5 min we walked out because you could almost feel how unwelcome there we were. In 2026??? During Ice raids??? Where many immigrant/minority businesses are struggling.. this is not only my first impression of this place but ALSO wtf?! This is a form of racism & terrible customer service. I get places have language barriers but they have signs for everything else so really no excuses why many of the staff treated us that way. This behavior also tells me everything I need to know about the food as well.... terrible just like the attitude of the staff.
