    Ramen noodle soup
    Elizabeth W.

    Soup had fresh noodles and the taste was on point. Wontons delicious. The space was small but not cramped. Fast and friendly service. The menu had a good selection and I will go back to sample more items! In a nice strip mall that has other interesting shops to explore.

    The kitchen
    Laura B.

    We put in a large order of won ton soup, steamed dumplings, orange chicken, vegetable fried rice, and more. I added vegetable low mein. I was surprised to find a large knot of mushy noodles, coagulated together with 3 bok choi leaves, and some deep fried tofu on top. I had to add my own soy sauce on top when I got home. And I needed a butter knife to cut up the coagulated noodles into squares to eat. Such a bizarre low mein. The restaurant was conveniently located next door to the nail salon we were getting a pedicure, and we collected our to go order when done. We did not have to wait too long then for our to go order to be ready.

    The noodles themselves were very good. The sauce was lacking, both in flavor and spice, but looking back there was chili oil on the table that I could've added. That probably would've made it taste better.

    Bold and zesty flavors, loved how you can taste all the different ingredients in each bite. The service was excellent with well informed staff on the best meals to order based on your own preferences. Clean and relaxing environment, we will be back for sure!

    Pan Fried Pork Bao Buns
    Maria-Christina S.

    A hidden little gem in the heights with the best bao buns you'll find! We found Noodle Works looking for a place that served specifically bao bind. Noodle Works is a cute little restaurant tucked into a strip mall. It's unassuming but to my surprise, one of the best dining experiences we've had. The menu was varied so we tried several dishes. Service was super friendly and quick with all our food fresh and hot with regular checkins by all of the staff. The spicy edamame was a great start with a couple fried rice entrees and a few rounds of pan fried bao buns, all to share. Everyone loved it! So, even though it's basically on the other side of town from where I live, I get back there every so often because there's not a better place I've found.

    I know, I know. Can't expect much when searching for Asian food in high desert. Decided to try this place on 6.16.23 (sorry forgot to post) as it had a few dishes like XLB, Char siu bao & oodles of noodles. Unfortunately, not very good IMHO. Bao looked & tasted like the frozen ones from Asian stores. Was hoping that it was a actually made in house as they kitchen staff are Asian. Servers were great. Friendly and engaging. What we ordered: XLB, Char siu bao, pan fried dumplings and beef broccoli. If you know me, XLB is always on my radar and Din Tai Fung (and SF dim sum eateries) is my standard. Unfortunately, Noodle Works missed the mark. The wrappers were especially thick on top and and almost impossible to bite the top off. Yuckos, but I actually bit off the top & spitted it into my paper napkin. Dumplings also had a thick "skin" and were heavy & pasty. If noodles is part of your restaurant name, it should be at least better than noodle offerings at local Asian restaurants. Hope this visit was an off day, but un-bookmarking on Yelp. Will continue my search.

    They're all very kind there and the food comes out really fast! The atmosphere is really nice, it's a small space but it's cozy in there.

    This place was surprisingly dissatisfying since I was looking forward to trying the entrees based on the 4-5 reviews. The noodles were soggy and so was the rice. The fried rice stands i appearance but the flavor was missing. The sesame chicken and the orange chicken was also soggy. It might have been the case since it was towards the end of the day and their quality declines at the end of the day but for soggy food the price was not worth it. the place overall is quite cozy and inviting to the eye of the observer. The place is clean and they do have restrooms for the guests. Service was descent and took about 15-20 minutes to prepare the food.

    We were hungry for dim sum and noodles, and Noodle Works popped up on Yelp with very good reviews. I was interested to try the fresh noodles made in house, and there is a huge difference provided by freshly made noodles. We tried the Youpo noodles, char siu bao (bbq pork filled pockets of bao), xiao long bao (bao filled with broth and meat, pan fried pork dumplings and edamame. Everything was so good that we almost finished everything. They also offer several types of beer, wine and sake. The service was very friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is clean with a spare interior. It seems there are specials during the week, but we were there on a weekend. I loved this place, and I'll definitely return to try some other items from the extensive menu.

It is truly one of those rare neighborhood gems that feels both authentic and incredibly welcoming. The service was impeccable from the start, but the highlight was truly the charming interaction with the chef. He was kind enough to personally walk me through the evening's selections, and we had the most delightful chat! I decided on one of my absolute weaknesses: the Fresh Pork Dumplings. The chef was quite attentive and offered to add an onion paste, but after a brief explanation of my preferences, he was more than happy to prepare them exactly to my liking. It's that level of bespoke attention that I truly adore. The dumplings arrived steaming hot in just a matter of minutes absolutely bursting with authentic, clean flavors. It was a thoroughly wonderful experience, and I shall certainly be making this a regular stop on my Uptown rounds!

Even though its a small parking lot in a strip plaza. Fresh hand pulled noodles are good, which were a little soft for my personal preference, but still good. It may sound strange but things with pork will taste porky. My girlfriend doesn't like pork, but can eat it, but she ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings and it was too porky for her. For me, it tasted just right because this is the flavors I grew up with. The dumpling dough had a nice texture that I prefer. My Ramen had a big fatty pieces of pork which is what I like. They didnt skimp. It was a good bowl of noodle soup. Wouldn't say its the best ramen I ever had, but it was good. Beef roll was good, I would say its one of the better ones I've seen in ABQ where its really filled with beef. Would recommend this. We also got soup dumplings and I will say that we didnt get the proper spoons for them. At first I thought they just didnt offer them, but looking at photos, we never got them. It makes a difference for your eating experience and enjoyment. We will definitely be back as this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area and you really get some real Chinese variety and not your basic generic stereotypical menu.

The soup dumplings definitely had a precooked frozen packaged texture / flavor - similar the ones you can get from the grocery store. BUT! Overall: we had a fantastic experience. The family was very friendly. I think they were surprised how much I ordered. I was excited and happy. And yes, we finished it all lol If you've never had Dim Sum then you MUST come here for the experience alone. They bring out the carts and you pick what you'd like. This is a great way to spend BRUNCH with a large group. Forget the American brunch and try the Chinese one! It's a new experience and will be fun.
