    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.

    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.

    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!

    Found this spot on a whim and decided to try it out! I ended up dining in here. It's not ideal…read moresince it's small inside with about 3 tables. I love love love the classic Taiwanese dishes that were on the menu here. I couldn't help myself but to order to my stomachs content. Of course, the stinky tofu! Not as stinky as I'd like (IYKYK). But the flavor of the sauce with the hot sauce that it comes with matches perfectly. I also ordered a trio appetizer of braised intestines, pig foot and tofu. They were all delicious! Nicely warm and all melts in your mouth. Good flavor! Pairs well with rice. My main was the chicken set. Delicious! And I love how they did the chicken 2 ways. With all the little side apps that it comes with as well. Everything was great. I didn't give a full 5 stars and this one negative may break it for you in coming here but while I was sitting I did notice small baby roaches strolling along the walls. Not a good sign and like I said might turn you away. I'll probably just order to go from here BUT that stuff doesn't phase me as long as it wasn't in my food. Let me know what you think!

    First time coming and the food was just ok. The beef noodle…read moresoup was pretty good. Nice flavor and good portion size. The braised pork over rice was a good simple dish. The sesame noodle honestly was not very good. Normally this would be a dry cold dish, however this was hot and still wet on the bottom. The flavor was a bit on the sweeter side. The dan dan noodles was not bad flavor was good and portion size was good. Honestly the best thing I had was the popcorn chicken which was made well. The place is pretty small only about 14 seats total and maybe another 4 seat in front of the window bar style. Quite little place. The service was a bit on the slow side and the waiter was not very tentative. Lucky we were there earlier and first as we probably would have had to wait a bit for food. I guess due to only two person crew.

She will be offering Taiwanese specialties that can be prepared in advance, cooked fresh and taken to go.

We've probably tried everything on her stir fry menu and it's all delicious. Plus, she offers a complimentary generous serving of rice and water bottles. I recommend going for Mama Lee's amazing food but also for her kindness and friendliness too. She's a staple in our community.

When we got home, we realized that one of the soups for the beef noodles was missing, so we called and Mama Lee rectified the situation right away. She was extremely apologetic and states that due to the fridged weather, they were lower in staff and things got busy so a mistake was made. We did have to drive back to pick up the order, but customer service was excellent. We tried the beef noodle soup ($22), salt and pepper chicken ($22), Taiwanese pork chops ($22), sauté string beans ($22), 3 cup chicken ($22). The beef noodle soup was fantastic. Broth was savory, and portion size for the noodles and beef was enough for 2 people. The beef was thick, tender, and delicious. I did wish the noodles clung onto the soup more, but I just took a sip of soup between bites and was still satisfied. I thought the sauté string beans, and 3 cup chicken were fine. I could taste the wok hay. I wish the salt and pepper chicken had more salt and pepper flavor. We weren't a fan of the pork chops though. Overall, we would definitely come again for the beef noodle soup. We were informed that there is an additional 3% added on if you pay with card.

    Nuan Xin Rice Roll 暖心饭团 is a small spot focused on Taiwanese fan tuan, a type of stuffed sticky…read morerice roll that feels like a cross between a rice ball, onigiri, and kimbap. We walked into a compact, no frills space with a casual grab and go feel that fits the type of food being served. The shop keeps things simple, but the concept works well for a quick and filling meal, especially when you want something affordable that still has plenty of flavor packed into a portable format. The rice rolls are the main reason to come here. The purple sticky rice gives each roll a slightly chewy texture and makes it feel more substantial than a typical grab and go snack. Inside, the fillings create a good mix of textures with savory ingredients, vegetables, and sauces packed into each bite. We tried the eel rice roll, which stood out as one of the stronger options. The eel added a richer flavor that paired well with the rice and seaweed, and adding spicy mayo gave it an extra layer of flavor without overpowering the rest of the roll. The combination of the soft, chewy rice and the variety of fillings made each bite feel balanced and satisfying. What makes fan tuan enjoyable is how balanced it feels as a meal. It is compact, easy to eat, and surprisingly filling for the size. There are plenty of filling combinations to choose from, including meat, seafood, and more traditional options, so it is easy to find something depending on what you are craving. The portions are generous enough that a single roll can serve as a full meal, and the pricing makes it an easy choice for a quick lunch or dinner. Service is straightforward and the focus is really on getting the rice rolls prepared quickly. The staff moves efficiently, and the order turnaround is fast, which fits the grab and go format well. There is limited seating, so the experience is best suited for takeout or a quick stop rather than a long sit down meal. Nuan Xin Rice Roll is a great option for a simple but satisfying meal. The purple rice, generous fillings, and variety of combinations make it stand out from typical quick bites, and it is worth checking out if you enjoy onigiri, kimbap, or Taiwanese street food. It delivers exactly what the format promises: a compact, flavorful, and filling meal that feels more thoughtful than your average grab and go option.
