Convenient located on Francis Lewis Blvd. I was in the area, so I stopped by for lunch a little after they opened at 12PM. The service is friendly and quick. They have a few tables and counter seating. I opted to sit at the bar counter (they have window counter seating as well). They have a couple TVs with videos about Taiwan playing, then switched one to March Madness. Braised Monced Pork Dry Noodles (with #4 the thin noodles). They initially brought out the soup version, but quickly realized and brought it back in to get it corrected. The flavor of the pork is good, but a bit dry. They give a lot of noodles, which were perfectly cooked. It came with half a tea egg. I'm personally not a huge fan of these so can't really judge but seemed ok. It also has bean sprouts and scallions to add a bit of crisp. Decent portion size, but it was just not checking the right boxes. I don't normally drink soda, but I've got a soft spot (nostalgia) for Apple Sidra. I like that they gave me a cup of ice and straw automatically. Overall, the noodles are definitely the star. The prices are decent as well. There is a 5% cash discount. Maybe I'll try the noodle soups next time.
Happy Valentine's Day! After running my errands today, I walked to Noodle Lab for lunch. A server greeted me and gave me two seating options. I chose to sit at the bar. I was bummed to find out the Squid Stick Noodle Soup came in a pork broth. The ambiance was perfect for brunch, lunch, and dinner dates. Food Popcorn Chicken Noodles Soup + Noodle Type: #3 Handmade Noodle + Popcorn Chicken + Chicken Broth - Braised Pork Sauce A server brought out a huge bowl of chicken broth and noodles. I drank the delicious broth and slurped the noodles. The popcorn chicken was crispy and tasty. Chicken Gizzards The chicken gizzards were flavorful, but there was too much cilantro and carrots. Bookmark this spot to try!
Food was ok. The most tasty part of the meal was the broth and the rice. Had the beef tendon noodle soup, spicy wonton and the pork chop and rice. The beef tendon and pork chop lacked flavor. Service was good.
Was recommended by friends and family so decided it was time to try out the Taiwanese food at Noodle Lab. I loved all the food when I went to Taiwan a few years ago, so I was hoping the food here would remind me of it. Fortunately it did! I got N13 squid stick noodle soup with #3 noodle. The soup was thick, goopy and oh so flavorful. They gave a lot of squid which was bouncy and had a bite. The noodles were cooked nicely. The menu was extensive so it was hard to choose. But everything I tried (even my parties noodles and rice dish) was delicious. Other notes: The appetizers were decent. The booth seating is comfortable and the bathroom was clean and smell really nice. Even the flower decor was pretty. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere was really chill.
Street parking/ meter parking available. It's an establishment with 5 tables and bar seats. 8 different styles to choose from with sample dried noodles displayed in little boxes to help you to decided. We ordered: Fries ( curry ) flavored with curry powder. $6 They also offer seaweed and garlic flavor. Wonton noodles $11 Beef noodles $14 Beef and beef tendon noodles $16 Popcorn chicken $7 Spicy oil wonton $7.5 Braised minced pork over rice $6 Fries were crispy but not much curry flavor Wonton noodles were served with great flavored soup base in generous portion. Beef and beef tendons were very tender. Popcorn chicken was crispy and not too salty. Rice was the sticky kind which yielded texture. Customer service was superb. Place is well lit and tidy. Modern feel layout. Background music was mandarin songs. Recommendation: will return to try other dishes too.
Lovely Taiwanese eatery with a modern twist. Food imho could have a bit more depth flavor closer to authentic Taiwanese but the cleanliness, vibrant staff and very reasonable prices more than make up. Small interior of just five tables, one window counter and some bar seats so good chance of waiting during weekend peak hours.
I really enjoyed the fried chicken, it was crispy and smoky. the noodles had great flavors but i wish there was some protein that came with it as a dish. i wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger. the space was plentiful, can seat anywhere between party sizes of 1-6. nicely lit and clean.
This neighborhood spot is small but comfortable. It comfortably seats groups as big as 4-6, but I would highly recommend smaller groups or solo diners to come here for a casual meal. There are many options for the type of noodle one would like to eat with their soup base. This is a great spot for someone who prefers less salty foods in general. If you're looking to just satisfy, quick fix an Asian noodle craving you have, then this is the place. If you're looking for more authentic style and depth in flavor profile, I'd go somewhere else. The fried donut is a bit pricy to me for what it is, but it fills that sweet craving if you have one after your meal.
This is a nice place for a quick meal. It's a small restaurant with a lot of counter seating and a few big tables. They have a little tray at the table showing you the types of noodles the have. You can pick the meal you want and then select the noodle you want. They have a variety of appetizers to start your meal. Everything here is reasonably priced. All the food was tasty. We tried the sausage, tofu, popcorn chicken appetizers. Minced pork over rice, beef noodle dish. The wontons was more skin than filling. Had a frozen drink. It was ok, nothing special. Suggestion serve the food in have in the videos. The videos playing are quite interesting and inviting but you do not serve any of the items. Sushi, braised pig knuckles? Have a suggestion box. People buzz about things you are going right and what you can do to maximize space. Utilize the bar more? Your hours are not conducive to drinking..... Good luck with the restaurant!!!
Newly opened so everything was clean and nice. I came on a Friday night at 6:30pm on opening week and it was packed. They didnt have a hostess to greet and take our names for a table. The layout of the restaurant is a bit weird. If they had arranged the booth seatings more strategically I think they could've accommodate more diners. They also should hire more workers as there were 2 ppl waiting on tables. But they did the best that they could and also they had to turn away customers at 7pm. They also stopped us from ordering too much. Kid friendly place as they also provided kiddie bowls and fork for the kids. Now onto the food, everything was delicious. Items ordered: fried pork chop noodles (great) popcorn chicken (great) braised tofu (too salty, didnt enjoy this too much) pork and mustard green noodles (great) braised minced pork dry noodles (good for kids) french fries (crispy, get the curry flavor) fried porkchop over rice (rice was not good, clumped together and overall mushy) braised beef noodles (great, get it with the mung bean noodles) spicy wontons (too small) I would come back again. It was also decent priced.
TLDR: New Chinese noodle shop in the Bayside Franny Lew area. Mostly Taiwanese fare. Very clean, good looking store. Noodle dishes are very customizable with a lot of different choices. Popcorn chicken tasty. I drove by this the other day and I was curious when they would open. Then I realized they are, so I stopped in for lunch solo. I like the design and the look of the place, very modern, super clean and nice servers. Got the Taiwanese Dry Noodle. Popcorn chicken, asked for extra spicy. Wonton in chili oil. Taiwanese dry noodle. This came with a soy-marinated egg, scallions, bean sprouts and I think onions that were caramelized out. Noodles were bouncy, I felt the sauce could have been a bit more flavorful or maybe it was missing more of a salty note. The onions were good but because it's cooked out, this was more sweeter than I like personally. The homemade hot sauce improved this but I still would have liked more salt for my palette. Popcorn chicken. I asked for extra spicy and they accommodated. Flavor and marinades were good, chicken was crispy. Not greasy which was good. Chili oil wontons. Decent, pretty presentation but not particularly memorable for me. All in all, the popcorn chicken I liked best. The TW Dry Noodle while not my favorite, I can see how people would like this. Overally I liked it enough and I will be coming back to try some of the other noodle dishes and/or the rice plates. There are 8 diferent types of noodles offered, they have a cool display box where you can see what they all look like.
Came here with my family around lunchtime time on a Saturday and had to wait a little. The place was pretty busy. It's a cute little place with limited seating. The food was just ok though. I got the pork chop over rice which came with broccoli and corn that I felt just came straight out of the packaging. Looking back on their old photos, they used to serve this with the default pickled radish and cabbage but not anymore. We also ordered the wontons that were just mediocre. Popcorn chicken wasn't bad. Portions were on the smaller side as well. Maybe their other items would have been better but I'm not sure. Just felt the flavors were lacking a little. They did have this delicious garlic sauce on the table that I ended up putting on everything though!
I had been here before but it's been a while so we made the trip here. Parking is not hard in the area. There was a slight wait of about 10 mins since they don't have a lot of tables even though the place looks big from the outside. We ordered apps and noodles. The portions are pretty small to be honest, especially the apps. The Taiwanese sausage was literally about the size of one chicken frank cut into slices. The tofu's also small, just a few small cubes. The amount of noodles is about 1/2 cup, without soup. The flavor's very, very mild, it's not like the typical Taiwanese beef noodles with big flavor. Service was very friendly though, even though they were pretty busy. read more
Pros: 8 variety noodles to choose from. Service is ok. The tea cup is small. Waitress refill it once without me asking. I wish I got more than 1 refill. Cons: the soup lacked flavor. The pork chop noodle is just oil, garlic and msg. Also, 1 small piece of pork chop? The beef noodle. Soup is spicy, but it also doesn't have much beef flavor. There are so many alternative Taiwanese noodle place in the neighborhood. Given that this is Flushing, the food is a bit disappointing. read more

Visited a friend in the area and she recommend this location. We got to pick out which type of noodles and soup for our meal. The space is small but it was not packed at all. The staff checked on us multiple times. Give 4 star because the soup lacked some flavor. read more

First time here and impressed. The place is clean and friendly. Ordered takeout and they do make and pack the food with care. Ordered a few appetizers and then wonton and beef noodle soups. Both very good. Beef one tastier. Spicy wontons were yummy even though I am not one to eat spicy. Reasonably priced and nice on a cold day. Would recommend. read more

Being Taiwanese, places like this are always tough for me to rate since I have such high standards and maybe my palate is just picky on Taiwanese food. This place serves a lot of Taiwanese staples that most folks are familiar with. The decor is fun and casual and the owner often chats with patrons to make them feel at home. That small touch really makes the difference on service and the vibe here is fun and friendly, like a local pub. Food here is where at least for me, it wasn't a hit. The sauce on the tofu and fried turnip cake were one dimensional (basically thick soy sauce with no seasoning) and they put way too much of it. The fried turnip cake was mushy and had none of the usual fillings like sausage or mushrooms. Every Taiwanese noodle shop however lives and dies by their beef noodle soup. Their beef noodle soup here is sadly just average, if that. The beef is cooked incredibly well - tender and soft with good flavor. You also get to choose from a huge variety of noodles for any of your dishes which is very cool. The noodles are cooked decently but the broth here was incredibly weak to the point where it tasted like brown water. That was a let down. Prices are fair and reasonable. I'm sure a lot of folks will disagree with my take on their food but for me, there's a lot of room for improvement on their food. Everything else though is just essentially the quintessential Taiwan vibe so I'll be back to give it another try. read more
How does "Alcohol and Noodle" sound to you? I found it innovative and unfortunately I cannot drink in the middle of a work day. I passed by on my way to a job and craved for Asian noodle. This place offered a revived and renewed Taiwanese style noodle soup. I ordered this beef noodle soup with Yangchun Noodle (陽春麵). The noodle was made to Al dente perfectly. The marination and the seasoning of the soup and beef were well executed. I especially like the ambience of the restaurant. They used pink and gray and created a classy yet modern tone to the environment. The waitress also provided good hospitality as well. There was also returning customer talking to the owner/boss and I found it is reputable in this neighborhood. That's indeed heart warming in a tough working afternoon. Thanks Noodle Lab. read more

Cute little restaurant with street parking. The food was good. Loved that you can choose your own type of noodles. Portions were on the smaller side though. No big tables, we had 7 people and had to squeeze in. Service was great...very friendly and attentive. read more

Authentic taiwanese cuisine. Small space with a bar area but very clean. Nicely modern decorated. Since it's a small space there will likely be a wait time during prime dining hours. Beef noodle soup: taiwanese style with fresh and thinly sliced beef. Good flavorful soup without being salty. You can pick the noodle here from 8 types. Good sized portion for the price. 4.75/5 Popcorn chicken: recommended to try it. Fresh and crispy with mild/moderate spicy but you can ask for spicier. 5/5 Overall a nice addition to the areA and worth a try. read more

Tried the beef noodle soup with the thicker noodles. Soup was very thick and heavy, and slightly oily. Also tried the appetizers like the chicken gizzard and water spinach - both were delicious but I would say they were on the smaller portion size. Only other thing I'd say is to get there early, we got there a hour before closing time and they had one bowl of rice left and only had one bowl of the braised pork over rice left as well. read more
A very delicious and new Taiwanese restaurant in the Whitestone area. Service was friendly and food was presented nicely. I ordered the wontons, popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup and all was good. I especially liked the homemade hot sauce they provided on the table. It pairs well with their noodle soups. Table seating seemed limited (5-6 tables) so make sure to go before the lunch/dinner rush if you don't want to wait. read more

The food left a lasting effect on my perspective of the ppace. The servings were just the right amount and was cooked tenderly and with care. The service was fabulous, fast, and the waiters show care in their job. Ambiance wise, it feels roomy and homey making me feel at home. It is clean and shows how dedicated the workers are to keeping a good reputation! read more
