Mr. J Hand-Pulled Noodle has Just announced that they are closing. This is a shame as it was a great place with a pleasant ambiance and the service was friendly. I wish all involved the best in their future endeavors. read more

This place had so much potential but fell short. The service was nice but they had credit card system issues and couldn't charge our bill for a while. The kitchen was very slow even though we were the only diners. The pig's ear cold appetizer was very tasty. Crisp cartilage with lots of spicy savory flavor. The rou jia muo bao bun with braised meat stuffing was decent but nothing to write him about. It's a Xian staple and this place made it not quite there. The beef noodle soup had good broth but it wasn't as flavorful as we wanted. The knife cut noodles were fresh and made well. There was plenty of beef radish slices. If they worked out some of the 'new restaurant' kinks, they have good potential. read more

I came here one afternoon with my work/gym buddy after the gym. It's located in the Publix plaza in Ocoee on Clarke Rd. The restaurant is hard to find and just like another review, the directions makes you think it's in a crab boil place. I think this restaurant needs to update their maps locations because I kept driving around the Publix looking for it when it was actually right there in plain sight. The food here is good but the pictures don't match what you're actually ordering. I kept thinking my meal was missing something. I really hope the restaurant updates their address and menu so they can lure more customers in and actually keep them. I'll probably give them another chance since I now know where they're located. But I'm not sure... I'll think about it. read more

This restaurant has been on our list of places to visit and we finally made it here today! We got there a little after 11:00 for lunch and we were able to grab a table. It is a smaller spot so if you want to be sure to have a table I recommend going when they open! My husband and I both got Mr. J's Hand-Pulled Noodles for our first visit. We both did them at a mild spice level and I did the "Normal" width noodles and my husband picked the "thin" noodles. We could see the noodles being pulled and made in the back which was so fun!! We both loved our choices and it was the perfect level of spice. The broth was so flavorful and it was such a large portion. We can't wait to come back and try a different kind of noodle! read more

Food: 3.8/5 We're visiting Orlando for a few days and were super excited to try this place out since you don't see this kind of food in south Florida. We got the hand pulled noodle beef noodle soup, cumin lamb noodles, chili oil pig ear and cucumber salad. The flavors tasted very traditional and definitely hit the spot. Cons were the noodles were over cooked for both dishes and I wish the cumin lamb had a bit more flavor. It was also very greasy. The pig ear was probably the best part because the chili oil was so flavorful. Also, we asked for medium spicy under the impression spicy was very spicy, but it wasn't spicy at all. Portion sizes for the pig ear and cucumber were also small. Do note, we are harsh critics because I originally am from California and my standards are very high! This did hit the spot though after not having Chinese food for months. I would come back just for that. read more

Wanted to see how the Asian food is in Florida. I was enticed by the "hand pulled noodles" in the restaurant name. And Damnn this was really good and something I would order if it were in Boston. We ordered the bolognese and cumin lame noodles. Both were delicious and the noodles were an awesome texture!! We also go the salt and pepper chicken. It was more like Taiwanese fried chicken and a complemented to the noodles we got really well! Portions were very reasonable for its price and the cashier/server was very nice and helpful. Place was very clean. read more

Came here for authentic noodle dishes and didn't leave disappointed! The spot felt pretty casual but clean which was nice. You order at the front and have your food delivered to you after which fed the casual ambiance; service was quick and pretty friendly overall which was nice. The portions were pretty large - definitely left very full. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the broth was light while not being too salty. The wings were all right, but I probably wouldn't get them again. Their noodles were definitely the star. Overall, I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again - quick service and good food, no complaints! read more

I drove out 45 minutes to try the famous hand-pulled noodles. I was excited after seeing it on social media. The noodles are very customizable. There are about 8 different styles. They range from how thick and thin you want your noodles. I went with what the staff suggested. He was very helpful. For the price I paid I was disappointed by the lack of flavor in the dish. I asked for mine to be spicy but that was all I could taste. The noodles were great and fresh but the sauce that was paired with the dish lacked flavor. The protein that went with the dish was also plain and boiled. If you are lost, the location of the restaurant is in the Publix plaza and is under crabs and wings. We spent awhile trying to find it and realized that it was under crabs and wings when we went. read more

Loved this little local hand pulled noodle place. It's a bit out of the way for me, but the food has kept me coming back when I can. It's a small, no frills, simple casual dining spot. They have one soup option and you pick the kind of hand pulled noodle you'd like in the soup. I always go with the thick cut noodles. The broth is so flavorful and you choose how spicy you'd like it. They have a selection of side dishes and appetizers as well. Service is quick. Highly recommend read more

The first thing you need to know is that the lighted sign above the door still says "Crab & Wings", accompanied by a sandwich board on the ground indicating the true identity of the place. Came in on a weekday and it was not busy. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Chose the signature Mr. J noodle soup with a choice of thick noodles after perusing my options. I dug into the steaming bowl eagerly, and found the noodles to be an amazing chewy texture. Where it fell flat was the broth--it was decent but seemed lacking in flavor compared to noodle soups I'm used to. The base spice level really isn't all that spicy. The chili oil they provide on the table did wonders to improve the flavor--it is a must-try! In the end, it's nice that a restaurant like this exists in this part of town, and perhaps the flavors have been adjusted to fit the local palate. I definitely feel that they live up to the hype in their noodles. However, at $20 including tax and tip, I felt that the dish needed either more flavor or a larger portion to make up for the misses. read more

VISIT DATE: 5/18/24 TLDR: Cozy fast casual concept with delicious Asian dishes. Most known for their house made noodles. Excellent service. Definitely will go back. FOOD (5/5): I ordered the Mr. J's Hand-Pulled Noodle, which was so worth the drive over here. The broth wasn't overpowering, and there was a good portion of meat. It was proportionate to the noodles. Now, the noodles come in eight different types. You'll choose that as part of ordering, but I was really happy with my choice. The noodles tasted fresh, and it was a nicely composed dish. I'll definitely add that to my "go to" places for ordering. I also ordered this sandwich, which for some reason I thought would have the same consistency of a bao. However, it was not - but it was still tasty nonetheless. I added chili to both for a little kick. SERVICE (5/5): Alright... so I got there just after 11 (opening), and they were still getting started. They were BUSY by 11:30 - takeout orders and dine in orders. I didn't feel like the food took long, but Ping, the lady working the front, was fantastic. Not only did she make sure our order was complete but... when I accidentally dropped my to go order, she gave me the broth to go with the noodles. Ping was very gracious about the whole situation. THANK YOU, PING! ATMOSPHERE (5/5): This is a fast casual restaurant, where you order at the counter. Food is brought to your table. There's a giant TV in the middle of the dining room. It really reminded me of an "elevated" version of the places I'd go with my parents as a kid. This is not the place I'd go for the ambiance, but the food speaks for itself. Definitely will come back. I'm planning on bringing my dad here when he comes to visit next. TIPS: * It is located to the left of the Publix (when you're facing the grocery store). It DOES NOT have the name on the sign. Instead, it says "crab" (or something similar). * Parking can be a pain because of the grocery store. * Read the menu ahead of time. Everything looked good in the moment. read more

I found out about this place during an asian event in Lake nona and we really enjoyed it even the line was long. After trying it there we decided to give it a try in their restaurant. We went on a weekday for dinner and we had a table right away. We ordered the food in the counter then you can just seat anywhere you want. We got 10 pieces wings with honey lemon pepper sauce on the side. The sauce is good and chicken is crispy. For main dish I got the mr. J hand pull noodles with small flat noodles. So they let you pick what type of noodles you want to use for their noodle dishes. They made it fresh in their kitchen. This dish was the dish we ordered on the event so I was really excited to try it but it didn't meet my expectation. It taste okay. Clear broth with some sliced beef. Theirs something lacking with the flavor. My kids got the bolognese noodles. It was not that flavorful. It taste bland. Husband got the stir fry noodles. This is loaded with veges and some sliced beef on the side. It was flavorful and we both enjoyed this dish. Its not a bad restaurant. It can surely has a room for improvement. I still recommend it to try. read more

First things first, they never removed the previous sign. So be sure to enter thru Crab N Wings or you'll be driving in circles. Look at the menu, then order and pay at the counter. They will bring the food to your table. The noodles were pretty good. We got the hand pulled noodle in soup and stir fried, noodle size #2 and #7. There's only three options for the noodles when it comes to the stir fry, I just forgot which three. The beef were sliced on the thinner side, could've used a little more beef for both dishes. Also ordered a side of tea leaf egg which was very flavorful. read more

We came on a quiet weekday afternoon. We were one of the first there for lunch. I only gave 3 stars because the flavoring is very light. I feel it wasn't quite there yet! HOWEVER, the noodle is definitely freshly made and was good quality! I def came for the freshly made noodle experience. The tea egg was ok. Kind of normal. All the dishes were fair, lightly flavored. The service was okay. We didn't get water until we had to ask her. She kinda acted surprised that we wanted water lol. read more

Finally made it here to give it a try. It was worth the wait! We almost didn't find it the sign on the building says Crabs and Wings. Cute little place. Very clean. You can tell everything is brand new. I love that they had an Asian cooking show on one of the tv's. It was fun to get a peak in the kitchen to see the noodles being made. Just two of us for lunch and we ordered way to much food but great leftovers. We each ordered Mr J's hand pulled noodle soup. I got mine spicy my mom had mild. I added a tea egg. I ordered the thin noodles and my mom did the regular. Both where amazing. We also order dumplings and the pickled cabbage. All of it was great. Can't wait to return. read more

I've never had noodles like this! I got takeout from here when I didn't have time to make dinner tonight, and it was SO much better than I imagined! I got Thousand Year Old Egg, Mr J's Hand Pulled Noodles, and a Tea Egg. I've never had thousand year old egg before. A lot of people I've seen on social media say it's gross, but this was so good! It had some sort of sweet and salty sauce on it with herbs that were so good. The yolk is custardy and yummy! While I feel they skimped on the meat in the soup, the noodles were great! They were soft and chewy. I loved the texture. They gave me a little container of chili oil for the soup which made it even better. I've never had tea egg before either, so I got it to try. It was very tasty. It's like a marinated hard boiled egg. I can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow! read more

Heard there was this new Chinese hand pulled noodle shop and decided to stop in for lunch. It was pretty busy when it open. You do order at the registure and just sit anywhere. Place is a little small and about 7-8 tables. I ordered the basic hand pulled noodles with beef that is on their menu. Broth was pretty good and piping hot. Was not salty at all. You do get to pick your noodle size and I got the #3 which was a good thickness for me. The fried wings were pretty decent and the hot sauce was on the side for dipping. Price was a bit expensive for a bowl almost 18 bucks with taxes. read more

Okay, so this place is hard to find and the sign makes you think it's a crab place but the food delivers! Think of it like a legit hole in the wall. The hand pulled noodle soup is solid, you have to ask for it spicy and add more of the spice from the tabletop. Service is what you would expect from a traditional Asian place. Staff is curt, and you have to ask for water if you want it. Food is out quick but you need to get your own napkins. We've been here on both busy and slow days and it's the same regardless. Doesn't affect the food! The flavor of the soup is worth the drive to ocoee! read more

This place is tucked away in a shopping center. It's a little hard to find if you weren't specifically looking for the restaurant since they still had the previous restaurant sign up. You order at the counter and then find a seat. I loved the noodles, it was cooked perfectly! They had tons of options on how you can get your noodles whether you like them thin or thicker. The flavors are very authentic and even my parents enjoyed it. You could also customize the spicyness of the soup. read more

I would give it a 2.5...but I can't And I'm not sure I can say it was "above" average to deserve a 3 As always...willing and wanting to try new and different places, Yelp randomly chose this for me Since the noodles are "Hand-Pulled", it was unique enough to give it a try. Small "mom and pops", it maybe seats m20? I walked to the counter and when I said I was dining in, I was handed a menu and told to sit Where I sat and sat and sat. The man behind the counter went behind a hanging screen and commenced to talking to someone in the kitchen and never ever bothered to ck on me or ask my order After a Loooong wait, I cleared my throat a few times, yelled "hello" more times, and he finally walks out to the front with an air of "you are disturbing me" I sit, and shrug my shoulders and he motions me to come up and order. MIND YOU: had he said the process when I first walked in...no problem. But he specifically told me to take a menu and go sit down. Thus "service" gets a 1 FOOD: it came out immediately (but how long SHOULD it take to spoon up soup and noodle) I asked for spicey, and it was a bit (I still added more spice ). I got the traditional/most popular along w spring rolls and plum tea Spring rolls were crispy on the outside but plain mush on the inside...can't recommend unless you are ok with NON-fresh, mushy, veggie filling Plum tea was a pleasant delite SOUP: noodles. Well seasoned broth. And a couple of slices of beef (you won't get full on the meat!), was also really good, and enough for a meal the next day $25 seemed hefty for a "non servicing restaurant", but since the noodles lasted another day, it was an acceptable $12.50 lunch read more

We went for lunch The noodles were good but the (not deveined) shrimp was as hard and overcooked like a pink school eraser. And when the condition of the shrimp was brought to the attention of the man at the counter, he seemed very unbothered. No offer of a substitution or accommodation was made. So if you don't care to take care of your customers, I obviously need to spend my money elsewhere. read more

Dear Yelpers who love ramen and pho, you are in for a treat! MR.J Hand-Pulled Noodles offers a variety of different noodle sizes and thicknesses for you to choose from. Their noodles are made fresh out of their kitchen, very different from the usual noodles that you get in Asian restaurants that are usually made in a noodle/pasta machine. I tried the spicy cabbage slaw appetizer and the classic thick noodle soup and both were delicious. Being a small but popular restaurant, it is understandable that food may take 20 - 40 minutes to be served. Their staff was patient and helpful and answered all of my questions. read more

Mr. J's is a nice little gem. We were in the mood for noodles and soup and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the hand-pulled beef noodles and the beef cumin noodles. Both of which were really delicious. The beef noodle broth was clean and full of flavour. And the hand-pulled noodles were soft and chewy. The beef cumin broth was super flavourful curry. The noodles that came with the broth was the vermicelli noodles, which was good but might switch it for the hand-pulled noodles next time. After all, we're at a hand-pulled noodle joint . The staff were attentive and very helpful. And the atmosphere was laid back and casual. Definitely a great place to check out if you're wanting soup and in the area! read more

I drove over an hour to try Mr.J Hand-Pulled Noodles when I heard about them and boy, was it worth the trip. When you first go into the restaurant, you place your order with the serve in the front and you pay for your meal ahead of time. There is a TV screen with the different sizes and styles of noodles you can request which makes it easier to order. Then you can sit wherever you find seating availability. While the wait time was a bit long, it is completely reasonable as the noodles are made from scratch and will take time. You get to experience and hear traditional old school Asian songs which fit their atmosphere perfectly. The noodles were fantastic and I wish there were more in the dish! It felt like there were more vegetables than noodles in the dish. Overall, I definitely plan to come back and try their different flavors and noodle cuts! Definitely check out this hidden gem! read more

This unassuming noodle place is right by a Publix in a very far location from the typical Asian area, specifically for its authenticity. This place serves hand pulled noodles and fried chicken. A weird mix but definitely the star on the menu are the hand pulled noodles. They're served in a clear broth and slices of beef and radishes. A generous amount of scallions and cilantro garnish and add flavor to the noodle broth. Overall very good and will return. read more

Great small restaurant located in the Publix plaza in Ocoee off Silver Star Rd. The place is quiet mostly and super clean. Small dining space but simple. Chopsticks and soup spoons are provided for you already on the table along with hot chili oil. Staff were friendly and food came out pretty quickly. Loved the gyoza that was fresh cuz it was piping hot. Same for the entrees we got. I chose the Mr. J's hand pulled noodle with #6 size noodles. Flavor was good but per usual I had to add hot chili oil for me. My husband loved the beef curry vermicelli noodle soup that was packed with more flavor than my dish. Definitely will come back to try their other menu items. read more

We tried this new noodle restaurant out today, and it was amazing! We lived in northern China for 5 years and used to always get this type of noodle there. This place tasted just like the real thing, even down to the authentic tea eggs. We got both pulled noodles and the hand-cut noodles. The bowls are huge and the broth and noodles were amazing. So happy this authentic spot opened near us in Ocoee. This is our new go-to spot for Chinese noodles. read more

MR.J Hand-Pulled Noodle - Restaurant - Noodles Near Me - Ocoee, Florida

Saturday around noon, we walked and were told to "take a menu and order at the counter." At least, that's how our visit started. So, you place your order at the counter, and someone brings the food out to your table. The food comes out based on what is ready first. So, the food started coming out, and we asked for some napkins. The server/manager pointed to the two places where napkins were available and then brought us some small paper napkins. We assume this was the server/manager because he rang us up, and it said "manager" on the receipt. So the server/manager was wearing a tank top with no indication that he was the server/manager or even affiliated with Mr J (or...was this the actual Mr J? ). His associate, who greeted us upon entering this place, seemed like she would rather be anyplace but here. She seemed like we were more of a bother and certainly not worth her time. At least she was clothed in a "Mr J" shirt. So the food started coming out willy-nilly. The food was hot. We asked the server/manager what cuisine this food would fall under. He said Chinese and that many people thought it was Pho or Ramen, "but it's not." Anyway, the food was hot, and the noodles were good enough to elevate this review to a 2 star rating. Oh yeah, while we were eating, another guy with a "Mr. J" apron came out of the back. We assumed he was the cook. Anyway, now we have the server/manager, the other female employee, and the cook all standing behind the counter, glued to their phones and chatting amongst themselves. No one asked what we thought about the food or if our drinks (water) needed refills. Oh, and the kicker...there was only 1 other person there during our entire visit, and he came in for a to go order. The sign out front still doesn't have "Mr. J's" name. Based on our visit, I'd leave the old sign up and hope the wings are better than the food and service we received. Worse experience we've had in any restaurant in years. We won't be back. Ever. read more

Very excited about authentic chinese noodle place in Orlando! It's one of my favorite food. Lan Zhou La Mian is the specialty here. I got it with regular noodle and it tasted very good. Wish there is more beef in the soup tho. We did order a side of beef by itself and it needed some salt. The portion is a little small for the dollar amount. My husband absolutely loves his noodle and think the beef cut is very tender and delicious. We will def be back soon. read more
