Our new find for comforting Cantonese food in the area! We had the roast duck noodle soup, fried tofu with salt and pepper, udon noodles with vegetables and chicken in chicken broth and the ja jain mein noodles! All the dishes were packed with flavor and very enjoyable, our 3 year old slurped down the duck and egg noodles while our 21 month old enjoyed her udon and chicken broth! We've been here twice and everything we ordered has been either good or super delicious. We will definitely be back to try out more entrees.

Came to Noodle King for a late lunch with friends and had a good meal. We ordered the seafood pan-fried noodles, beef chow fun (dry), beef noodle soup, and chicken wings. The pan-fried noodles were crispy but needed a bit more flavor. The beef chow fun was delicious with great wok hei--definitely a favorite. The beef noodle soup was okay but felt like it was missing something. The chicken wings were crispy, meaty, and tasty. Overall, a solid spot for a casual meal. Would come back!

Me and my family be coming here for the last 2 years and it never disappointed us the food is amazing really good taste the service is amazing really cool people and a really good ambiance pretty chill place to eat. Singapore noodle and combination fried rice are one of our favorite dishes from here.

Noodle King is another example of that old adage: "you never know where you'll find good food!" A friend mentioned that there was a restaurant located off of New Hampshire Ave in a section of the Colesville/Silver Spring area serving up old skool Cantonese fare. So we decided to pop in and I'm so glad we did. Noodle King shares a small lot with the Hollywood Beer and Wine store and Clips Barber shop, so parking can be tight; be prepared to park along one of the adjacent neighborhood streets. Interesting exterior with a few tables for outdoor dining in the warmer months, and plant and greenery along the wall right before you get to the front door. Upon walking in, the diner is transported to the 1980's with low tables, metal chair, wooden panel chair molding, and formica table tops which have had the veneer worn down from years of cleaning. There is a dining area off the right with a lazy susan in the middle of the table for larger groups. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the food is legit. One of the standard bearers of any good Canto place is the Seafood Fried noodles, or Hosin Chow Mein. Jumbo shrimp, pieces of calamari, tender pieces of fish, scallops, and imitation crab meat was gently tossed in a mild clear sauce and mixed with veggies atop crispy deep fried egg noodles. I dunno if it's as good as the joints I enjoyed as kid growing up in NYC, but for the 'burbs of Montgomery county...it was delish! The wonton noodle soup was uneven. The noodles were boiled properly without being overcooked and had a nice springy texture. But the soup broth was...meh. It tasted more of a generic chicken broth but needed salt and more umami flavor. But the wontons were tasty. They were definitely handmade as indicated by their irregular shapes (unlike some places which use frozen mass produced varieties) and stuffed with shrimp, pork, and veggies. Both dishes were accentuated by using a mixture of the provided table chili oil and soy sauce. Service was efficient and friendly, and the aunties running around the dining room appreciated my brief conversations with them in Cantonese, since that dialect seems to be disappearing from the Chinese language diaspora. Didn't get to sample any of the BBQ meats displayed in the window behind the cash register, but I'll definitely try the next I'm in the area. Noodle King has earned it's 4 star rating!

This place looks like a hole in the wall, but it's overall clean and the food is awesome. Thank you for all you do for us at noodle King. Rocky

The only rule we have when visiting our family and friends anywhere near Silver Spring is that we must have at least one meal at Noodle King. It does not matter if we are visiting the friends who live down the block or the family that lives 100 miles away, all that matters is that we will have one of our favorite meals at least once as long as we are close enough to drive. One order of Szechwan String Beans, at least one order of Deep Fried Spicy seafood (fish, calamari or mixed) and whatever else might catch our fancy on that day and we know without a doubt that the remainder of our trip will be filled with memories of these flavors. The good news is that everything else we've tried has also been very good, just not good enough to be what brings us back over and over again. One word of warning for those that order the standard Chinese American dishes - think sweet and sour anything, beef with broccoli, and the like- you might not be as happy as those that order the more traditionally Chinese foods. The French Beef cubes are delightful and are probably as close as you might find to the flavors you seek, but I urge you to try something new and keep your mind and tastebuds open. Noodle king is not fancy. It's a simple restaurant filled with big round tables and not much decoration. It features friendly but efficient service and has a constant stream of people picking up take out orders while you eat. None of this matters if you like the food, and I hope you do!

A fairly small restaurant with large portions that you can split with friends! Stir-Fried Tomato & Beef on a Bed of Rice 7/10 - beef is tender but flavor isn't there for me Stir Fried Pork with Sour Cabbage 7.5/10 Peking Duck 6.5/10 Wonton Noodle Soup 5/10 - very plain and subtle We didn't wait too long for any of our dishes. Overall, the food is okay -- nothing stood out.

NOODLE KINGGGGGGGGGG This place is so good I'm loathe to share more about it because I don't want it to get too busy. My family has been going for years but in an effort to leave more reviews this year I thought I'd finally share something here. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong. Everything is pretty flavorful. Hearty portions. Very reasonable prices. Tonight we had: Cod: delicious. So flaky and the sauce is superb. U m a m i Pan fried meat dumplings: i am personally a big fan of these thicker doughier chonky dumplings but if you're not into a doughy bite it might not be for you Deep Fried Spicy Salted Calamari: SO GOOD I love calamari already, but this is perfectly salty and spicy . Order this every single time. I just had it and I would eat it again right now. Beef chow fun: i love this dish anywhere, but there is something extra tasty about the gravy here, I can't explain it Tapioca: this was a surprise free dessert only available on weekends. It's so unassuming and isn't much to look at but it's actually very light and pleasant. I would never order it on my own but I'll always eat it if they bring it, you know? It's a definitive hole in the wall - the entrance is facing the parking lot and the back of the restaurant faces the street. It's the kind of place you drive past a hundred times and ignore because it's not much from outside, but you step in and it's almost entirely Asian families so you know they know what they're doing. It's a hidden gem / family establishment through and through. Love this place.

Absolutely delicious!!!! You will miss this gem if you don't look carefully...you go in through the back...when we walked eyes were on us because it was all Asian customers and they thought we were door dash ! We told them we would like to be seated, they said sit anywhere. We saw some amazing meals coming out the kitchen that I asked the server what somebody else had and that's what I ordered without disappointment!!! Deliciousness is all I can describe it as!!! The wife ordered Singapore noodles which she loved...this is one of the best Asian food spot I've had since coming to md! Give it a try and remember I told you so!!

We had a surprisingly nice late lunch at this little hole in the wall on our way back from zip lining at the sandy spring adventure park nearby. The women who took or order was very nice, and although they couldn't accommodate service at one of their outside tables, she offered to let us do take out and sit there. Our chow fun noodles and tofu with veggies were fresh, hot and tasty. The inside was drab and had a funny smell, but the outside table was
