100% the rockstar low-key winner. I love this place and almost always opt to come here whenever possible. It's just very consistent and you always get what you're expecting no matter what. I can remember what I had day one and that same quality, service, and timeliness are all spot on to today. I don't know what they're doing to keep the quality and service this awesome but I hope they keep it up as it is also what keeps us coming. If you're local to the area and have never visited this place, you're seriously missing out as it's a total win! Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small place that is simple in decor and I always love the see thru-window to watch the cooking.

My Husband's Food Review : Beef Mongolian Noodles -- 4/5 The noodles are freshly made with every order, and you can literally watch the man through the glass forming them by hand from the dough. The noodles were tender with a nice, bouncy texture. The sauce had a good balance of salty and sweet, and the beef was tender and flavorful. Jalapeño Chicken Noodles -- 5/5 The jalapeño peppers added a great crunch and paired really well with the texture of the noodles. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was light enough to let all the flavors come through. Definitely a favorite! Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings -- 5/5 The wings were cooked to perfection--crispy, crunchy, and well coated with seasoning. The crispiness paired really well with the overall dish, and every bite had great flavor. Beef Pancakes -- 2/5 This was basically like a hand-held burger stuffed inside crispy dough. The onions added a nice flavor to the beef, and the chili oil on the table paired really well with it. However, I think it would have been much better if the beef had been mixed with a sweet soy sauce for a little more flavor and balance. read more

Food is great and a pretty decent amount of options to choose in the menu. I typically either get the Lan Zhou Beef soup or Tomato Beef Brisket soup, sometimes with fried salt & spicy squid (basically calamari) or pork wontons. It's a great vibe to sit down and eat in almost any scenario, either in preparation for a long day of work or many hours of resting. The waiters/waitresses are always kind and easy to get your attention if need be. I am someone who personally prefers slightly firmer noodles, but would overall still find Noodle Man a comforting joy to always come back to. read more

Wow. This place was awesome. You have to try the salted spicy squid. We ordered one and finished it quickly and we ordered another for the four of us. We also had the pork wonton and chili oil, Mongolian beef noodle, Mooshu chicken, and Mapo tofu. Everything was very good. Our favorites were the salted spicy squid, mooshu chicken noodle, and Mongolian beef noodle. You have got to check this place out. You won't regret it. read more

I can't believe that this was my first dinner at Noodle Man. It's so close, well reviewed and did not disappoint. We were welcomed inside by friendly staff. Seating options included around the glass windows where one could watch the show, preparation of the hand pulled noodles. We chose a booth which had an excellent view of the noodle preparation. Having previous checked the menu, I ordered Mushu Beef with Stir-Fried Noodles. I love Stir Fried Noodles. The choice of a non spicy dish was made to test their level of spicy. After adding hot sauce I found it excellent. The noodles were wonderful and the beef tender. I've already decided that on my next visit I'll have what my grandson ordered, Mongolian Beef Stir Fry. He began with the Cucumber Salad, which was excellent. I swiped a few pieces to try. My son began with the Vegetable Spring Rolls. His entree was the Seafood Noodle Soup. The restaurant doesn't serve alcohol or sake. I had the hot green tea, my son the herbal canned ice tea & my grandson a soft drink, My family, who are accustomed to the excellent NYC food, proclaimed it solid. That's my son's highest level of praise. The location is in Haygood Shopping Center, which is on Independence Boulevard about midway between its intersection with Virginia Beach Boulevard and Shore Drive. Parking is plentiful. The restaurant itself was brightly lit & clean. Wall design appeared to be mural style reflective of the restaurant's offerings and their heritage. Seating was comfortable. This is a restaurant with menu offerings that should be enjoyed by all. I will return. read more

3 minutes from my house! This could be dangerous! I go crazy for mapo Tofu and this one had me going! Great flavor and texture! The dumplings never fail also. Always fresh and spicy. The only downfall I saw was definitely seeing the napkin holders , salt and pepper etc have probably never been wiped off. Definitely dirty and need some love. With all the germs running around. I'm a stickler for table areas being clean for the safety of customers. The food is absolutely amazing though! read more

While in the area, I stopped by Noodle Man since I'd been wanting to try it for a while. The place was smaller than I expected, with just a few booths and tables. Only one booth was available when we arrived around 7pm on a Wednesday, and it was in the middle of being cleaned, but luckily we were planning to get our order to-go anyway. The menu had a nice variety, including appetizers, noodle soups, cold and stir-fried noodles, and fried rice. I ordered the Fried Salt & Spicy Wings, Fried Crab Wontons, Kung Pao Chicken with Stir-Fried Noodles and Jalapeño Chicken with Stir-Fried Noodles. The food took about 20 minutes to be prepared so we waited around until it was finished. The wontons were pretty good, though I wish they had a little more flavor. The wings were crunchy, savory, and fried perfectly but weren't spicy at all like the name entailed. Both my daughter and I really enjoyed our stir-fried noodle dishes, they were absolutely delicious! Although the Jalapeño Chicken didn't have any noticeable jalapeños and wasn't spicy either, the flavor overall was still just as great. Overall, the staff were really nice and I love that they make their noodles right in the restaurant. I'd definitely return to try other stir-fried noodles dishes. If you're in the area, stop in. You will not be disappointed! read more

My friends and I dropped by Noodle Man for a quick take out order after a yelp event. When we walked in it was packed. There isn't really a dedicated space to order. The waiter who took our order was nice. We ordered and then waited outside. When I got my order 20 minutes later it was incorrect. I asked for beef scallion pancakes and the waiter thought I meant vegetable pancakes because basically they're just called beef pancakes. It was a misunderstanding on both our parts, so he corrected the issue with no problems. When I went back it was so much going on, they were about to close and still very busy. The girl and guy waiters both looked so tired. I felt bad for them but they handled the situation the best they could. They were even apologetic. I appreciate both of their good customer service skills in resolving the issue. I think their names were Cheyenne and Jr. Hats off to them for keeping things moving smoothly, because I watched them take phone orders, bring food to tables, and clean up. There's a window where you can watch the homemade noodles made. It was cool to watch, but that poor guy was putting in work. They have a menu with a good amount of options. The homemade noodles are tasty. I enjoyed my beef pancakes. Check them out!! read more

Always a 5 star review for Noodle Man. Not only are the noodles made/pulled in house but the broth tastes that it has simmered for hours, most probably has been. I always get the brisket and tomato soup. First time to try the beef pancake (as I always order the spicy (served cold) beef, super good too!) Service is friendly. Ambiance gives you the feel of true Asian- no fuss but simply delicious! read more

Great food in cozy quarters in full view of an employee hand pulling noodles. Dinner and a show. They cruise without booze but the fresh made to order tasty food starts the party in your mouth! Mongolian beef noodles (c3) are excellent, my fave.

I figured it was time for an updated review of Noodle Man. I'd like to say that Noodle Man has been open at this location since late 2018. They were an immediate hit and have grown in popularity so much that they opened a second location in Chesapeake in February/March 2020. I hit up this VB Noodle Man location on occasion and am glad to report they are just as good now as they were when they first opened. The VB Noodle Man is small. There are about 9-10 tables and roughly 8 seats at the bar. They will fill up quickly during the lunch and dinner rushes. Regardless, their space is clean, organized and is the perfect size to view the kitchen staff as they prepare the food and make their famous noodles. The great thing about Noodle Man is they make their noodles in house. The technique they use is of the more traditional style of making noodles, which I've only seen in person here. If nothing else, any noodle dish you order will be fresh and delicious. It's obvious that their customers love that aspect, and they reward them by returning again and again. I've visited often enough to try nearly everything on their menu. And I haven't had a bad dish among them. Although they're good any time, I usually opt for the Chicken Mushroom Noodle Soup (B1.) during the winter months. I sometimes opt in for an appetizer, too - their Pork Shrimp with Leek Dumpling (A11.) is fantastic. Other highlights include: A3. Fried Salt & Spicy Shrimp A4. Fried Salt & Spicy Wings A5. Fried Salt & Spicy Pork Chop (this is a recurring theme) B2. Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup B6. Hong Kong Style Noodle Soup The broth for their soup is delicious and complements the noodles perfectly. In addition, their soups are plentiful - you will get filled up if you finish an entire bowl. Finally, Noodle Man's staff is fantastic. Many of the wait staff are veterans - they know the menu inside and out, know much of the clientele (NM has many regulars at this point), and know exactly how to handle any given situation and customer. I'd like to think I'm a regular because a couple of the servers have recognized me, but I recently met a man who stops in every Saturday, and apparently comes in as often as possible. That's a testament to how good Noodle Man's food and service are - those regulars are loyal and will sing its praises to anyone who will listen. I'm glad Noodle Man has remained a fantastic place. I can always count on their food to be fresh and delicious, while their service is just as impressive. Thank you, Noodle Man! JV read more

The interior is is clean and decor is nice. Had a big window to the kitchen to see them hand pulling the noodles. The servers were attentive and kind. The salt and spicy fried squid and shrimp were amazing very garlicky and flavorful and tasted fresh. The chili wontons were not great. The wonton is more like shumai and the filling was very mushy. The sauce was wasn't spicy more vinegary. The seafood noodles were a shared portion where they offered to split! The noodles had a good chew, did lack flavor but the broth was yummy. The seafood in the noodles were chewy and didnt taste the freshest. read more

N oodle man will bring you back to the alleys of mainland China where every noodle is hand pulled, the broth is light yet deep, and the flavors keep wanting you to go back. Noodle Man is a delight that it's in the middle of a shopping mall and packed with these great flavors. It's a wonder that they don't have 2nd or 3rd locations nearby. As for food choice, I would definitely recommend having a noodles with broth. You simply can't go wrong and it is unparalleled to anything that you would find in the near vicinity! read more

Disappointing. Went with small family group. I ordered the Lanzhou beef noodle soup. Nice favor but not by any means great. Good portion. Plenty meat was fairly tender, but again not much favor. Noodles ok. We also ordered fried rice and spicy noodle soup. Again both average. Beverage selection poor for an Asian American restaurant. Service ok, no strong feelings. Place clean. It reminds you of a older local neighborhood Chinese American restaurant just knew. Much better noodles and broth (of many types) at other local area restaurants. People waiting for seats as we left. Don't see hype. Chances of coming back are slim. Weak weak three. read more

The restaurant itself was kind of sticky and not super clean, and the noodles lacked seasoning and flavor. Rather disappointed.

My husband and I's first time trying Noodle Man was on a Saturday night via delivery through DoorDash. The order came quickly and was accurate and hot! We ordered the Pork Wonton appetizer with Chili Oil and they were surprisingly not spicy at all. The prominent flavor was actually ginger believe it or not. I found them to be light and delicious, although not what I was initially expecting. For dinner, I tried the Chicken Fried Rice and the Mongolian Beef Stir Fry Noodle dishes. Both were delicious, but the Mongolian Beef Stir Fry Noodle was my number one favorite. The beef was perfectly cooked and not full of fat as you often find at most Chinese restaurants. The spice level was perfect and the szechuan peppers added the perfect amount of heat. I love how this dish was full of veggies between the two different peppers. Noodles and rice were both cooked perfectly. My husband had the Hot & Spicy Noodle and he enjoyed it thoroughly. He wasn't very hungry going into dinner, but managed to enjoyed the entire soup. We both really enjoyed the food we had from Noodle Man and I am pleased that we have found our go-to Chinese restaurant in the Virginia Beach area. We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Lord help me because if I have to drive seven hours to come back here from New York, I will. The first time I've ever seen somebody making the noodles by hand before them getting served out to a diner. This place is awesome. Oh, did I mention they were hand-pulled noodles? The guy was encased in glass and looked like everybody else was watching him make his stuff. Service was amazing. They were on the ball from the minute I walked in. I took a seat at the bar so I could watch the show. I think this is the kind of spot you need to bring a couple of friends with who enjoy good food so you can split the appetizers on top of a very filling entree. The space isn't huge but it has a bunch of booths and about eight spots at the bar for you to sit through. Good music and the wait staff genuinely seemed happy to work there and were really grooving. Some were even singing along with the tunes. Definitely going to be back before I head back upstate. read more

Why didn't anyone tell me this place was so good?!? (Actually people have been telling me for years) but I finally decided to go one afternoon for lunch. I got there right around the time they opened because I didnt know if it got packed. There were about 3 tables full. By the time I was leaving, people were starting to come in. I sat at the bar area against the glass window so I could watch the guy make the noodles from scratch. It was so cool. I ordered the shredded chicken with garlic sauce noodles. It was delicious. Everything tasted so fresh. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to try more items! read more

Love Mr. Noodle man! Their noodles for all of their dishes are made in house and fresh. You can even watch them behind a glass stretching the noodles and cooking it. I ordered the moo shoo beef and it's definitely the best I've ever had. The Mongolian beef is another favorite but it is more on the spicy side. If you don't want spicy then I recommend the moo shoo beef or chicken. I also enjoyed the Hong Kong style wonton soup. I'm glad they added a good amount of dumplings and the soup was flavorful. I highly recommend the Fried Salt & Spicy Squid, it's the best appetizer and my favorite! It's like a fried calamari with a super crispy light coating with a salty, spicy, garlicky flavor. Next time I'll have to try the wings! They have a good size menu with a variety to choose from. Perfect place for lunch or dinner, I highly recommend! read more

So the food is consistently amazing. It comes out hot and fresh. The portions are reasonable. Everything we order is always delicious. There is this one waitress that is passive aggressive, has to be right and has to have the final say. She doesn't realize that she's insulting the customers. She throws management "under the bus." I may try the Chesapeake location to avoid her. She's downright awful and needs a lesson in customer service. Sorry but she ruins the experience for me. read more

It's been a while since I've been here. But the food is always consistently good. I don't think I have ever seen this location NOT busy. Wait staff are always friendly and always efficient. Prices are reasonable, and good portions. Drinks are always cans. Military discounts are offered, just ask. If waiting to be seated, you can either wait or have them call you in your cell, when the table js ready. My go- to apps and entrees are the cucumber salad, but It's on the spicy side and the pork chili oil wontons which are significantly spicy. read more

Noodle Man - Cucumber Cold Noodle Salad - Noodles Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Been here three times already and quickly understood why this place is a local favorite! I am a huge fan of the Mongolian Stir Fried Noodles and B1 & B2 noodle soups. Every friend and family member I've introduced to this place has loved it too. Very cool to watch the kitchen staff handle the noodle dough. For our most recent service I am deducting one star. Service the first two times was perfect, but our third visit was when something occurred between us and our server that surprised me and my bf's family. There was a small miscommunication between ordering the A13 and A14 apps- we wanted the cucumber salad but our server thought we wanted the cold sliced beef. Our server took back the cold sliced beef and as she was bringing it back, we over heard her say "They definitely ordered the A14, not A13" to another server, who then said "Yea I was there, I totally heard that too." This was said loud enough for our table, seated in the far back corner of the restaurant, to over hear and probably every customer dining in as well. That particular server never came back to serve us and instead we had 2 other servers going back and forth between our table and the kitchen, who were both great. This experience was incredibly unfortunate, as I work in the food industry and have handled similar situations like this from the serving end. I was unimpressed by how those two servers were speaking about our party and it affected our ability to enjoy our meal without feeling like we were being watched by the staff. No one in our party was rude to our server, and speaking loudly about your customers basically in front of them is impolite and rude. The dining room is already small so we know those around us heard those comments. We are hesitant to come back. read more

I ordered the mushu chicken noodle and the Mongolian beef! And both are delicious. I ordered the mushu for my partner because she doesn't like spicy and oh my gosh, I wish I would've gotten two of them instead. But we will be back! I tried both of them, and the mushu was just so good I couldn't stop eating them. After I ate part of the Mongolian it got a little better! It's not bad by any means, but the other just tasted so much better. After I mixed the Mongolian beef up a little bit I think maybe some of the flavors just weren't mixed in. Anyway, the staff were all VERY friendly, I had 3 different people help me with a to go order. It was very fast maybe 10-15 minutes. And SO WORTH IT. You can see the cooks the entire time which is really cool. They make the noodles themselves and that was very cool to watch. read more

We ordered the cucumber salad, pork wonton with chili oil (i think we ended up with the siu mai with chili oil) mongolian beef stir fried noodle, and tomato beef brisket noodle soup. All the dishes were delicious. They had just the right amount of heat/spicy but not too much to make you sweat. The service was quick, helpful and courteous. The ambience was nice. It was great that you were able to see them making the hand pulled noodles. That is always very entertaining. And then to eat it in your dish it was just heavenly. Fresh noodles are always the best! And it's a treat to be able to experience that here in this establishment. We will definitely always come back here when we are in town. read more

We had last dined here four years ago so we were due back but so many restaurants and so little time. We perused the menu and realized it had not changed. Hubby got the exact same meal: jalapeño chicken noodles while I changed mine to Hong Kong with wontons. Each of us was so very pleased after "doctoring " our dishes up with the condiments on the table labeled "soup" or "stir fry". Simple but useful. Then sriracha of course. Perfect. Each wonton had three shrimps, omg so amazing. read more
