Ambiance: There are plenty of tables. Service: Friendly service, but not the quickest! Food: The dumplings are delicious here!! We enjoyed the Dan Dan noodles as well. read more

Tried a few things here. Egg rolls I liked. They gave 4 for the order and they had a nice crunch. The bbq boa was also good, soft. The biang biang noodles were thinner than I'm used to. I'd say they were ok. Sort of like a vinegar taste. The general tso was similar to what I've had elsewhere called red pepper chicken but with a sauce on it. A little salty. The red bean buns there good, with little pig faces. read more

I was craving Chinese food and possibly dumplings and the reviews here are good, so I stopped in for a solo lunch. I wasn't really greeted but more told from the back of the place "sit wherever". I chose a window seat and was quickly given a couple of menus. The service was good, efficient and to the point, no pleasantries. I ordered the Spicy Edamame and Szechuan Dan Dan Noodle Soup. Both were very good and the portion was generous. I ordered pretty spicy broth for the Dan Dan Noodle soup and they delivered. It was spot on. There were only three more groups of two or three in the place on a Sunday afternoon so I had no problem getting a seat. The place was clean, but menus were sticky - I think they are wiped down with a washcloth that is maybe used for the tables, but I'm not sure. I would recommend Noodles and Dumplings Time if you are looking for authentic Chinese Food. read more

This place is great. It's small... But clean and very good service. We had the General Tso's chicken... with noodles and it was very good. We also had the combo of dumplings. They were steamed... Very fresh... But kind of an acquired taste. But we ordered a plate of the garlic chicken with eggplant... It was so good. Like... Made you literally take a bite and say, " wow... That is so freaking good... It rocks, my face off"... it was that good. He was like a mix between Fergie and Jesus. read more

This is my 3rd visit to this place. I had one of their noodles soup with beef. Not much vegetable, few pieces of broccoli and green onion, 5 pieces of beef ( not much to say about it) and quite bit noodles + broth(a lot). Overall it wasn't bad, I would stick with one of their lunch item or regular items unless you like noodle soup. Service is fine. Next time I will try their dumplings to see. read more

We stopped here after a day of exploring the area. I was craving good Orange chicken! This place is DELICIOUS! We were immediately greeted by the super friendly staff. Service was great. They were helpful and so attentive! We both ordered the orange chicken. It was so authentic and you could tell it was made with love. We also ordered crab rangoons (under a different name I have sadly forgotten on the menu -- maybe cream cheese dumplings?) and they were to DIE for with generous portions! Ambience is laid back and clean with a cozy authentic vibe. I ordered some HAND MADE bao buns to go and I cannot wait to try them later! Portions are very generous here. We could have split a meal! We will have some yummy leftovers for later. What a great find for delicious Chinese food! read more

My family and I have been here a handful of times. The service is always quick and nice, and for soup dumplings and Chinese food without having to drive to Plano; this place gets our fix. I really love their soup dumplings. My husband likes the lunch specials they have. My kids love the custard buns and the cheese buns. The cucumber salad and edamame here is really nice, as well as the pork belly with rice runs. Love that this place is close to home. read more

I stopped by with family to check out a new dumpling spot. We tried the chicken noodle soup, pork xia long bao, and chicken xia long bao. The chicken noodle soup came out quickly, before the soup dumplings which required more time. It was piping hot. The noodles were especially delicious. The broth had a pleasant savory flavor. There was plenty of chicken in the soup. The cheese bao appetizer was delicious. It was fried but not greasy. The bao were generously sized. The chicken xai long bao was delicious. The dumpling was thick in certain parts and thin in others. The chicken has a delicate and juicy flavor. I didn't love the dipping sauce it came with. I can't place the flavor that was overpowering; perhaps it was being a vinegar taste. The pork dumplings tasted similar to the chicken and were equally delicious. The main difference I could place was the flavor of the broth. Interior decorations were minimalistic and added an authentic Asian feel to our experience. Our server was attentive and checked in on us several times during our dining experience. Pricing was very fair for the portion sizes. Highly recommend! read more

The soup dumplings were HUGE, I've never had soup dumplings this big before haha but they were good! So many options to choose from on the menu. We got the soup dumplings, spicy wontons, noodles and scallion pancakes. The prices were good and food portions were large. I think they just opened a few months ago. Good to know there's a dumpling place nearby :) Will definitely come back and try the ramen next time. read more

Walking into noodles and dumpling time, the workers are friendly and attentive. Their menu has many options and we ordered 4 things total. I will say I was not too impressed with the food, but 2/4 things we got were good. For our apps, we got the garlic pork belly and the spicy wontons. The garlic pork belly was good. The flavor was enjoyable and the meat was soft. The wontons were a bit bland and not spicy. For our entrees we ordered the Mongolian beef with chicken and the braised beef noodle soup. The Mongolian dish was not the best and the side of fried rice also lacked in flavor. The braised beef noodle soup was great though. The noodles were soft and chewy and the broth was very homey. Overall the customer service was great and so was the environment, but the food, not so much. The noodles were definitely tasty which is the specialty, but anything else I probably would not order. read more

Noodles & Dumplings Time - Spicy wonton soup, soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Allen, Texas

When they first opened, we were regulars, but after our last four visits in a row, we've officially called it quits. Each visit has somehow gotten worse, and while we kept hoping things would turn around, they just... haven't. Our last meal was: colorful combo dumplings, sweet and sour chicken, and fried shrimp noodles. Sounds delicious, right? Too bad we didn't enjoy it -- we threw most of it in the trash. The colorful dumplings should have been beef, chicken and vegetable. They all had the same mushy appearance and no flavor (no obvious differences). As for the chicken, while you can't always tell if a restaurant is serving frozen meat just by looking at it, the texture and batter (and sauce) were definitely not what it used to be--something is off. We thought if we tried something completely different than our usual order.. maybe we could remain loyal customers. We ordered the fried noodles with shrimp... and let's just say it was our last. The ginger was so overpowering! It was awful. They need to go back to the quality of food when they first opened. Eating out is too expensive and there's too much competition in this area to settle for eating at Noodles & Dumpling Time. read more

This seems to be a Chinese restaurant that just opened several months ago. Originally I wanted to order the Colorful Combo dumplings, but on the menu at the restaurant it said "1 color at a time"? I'm not sure what that meant, so I ended up not ordering. I ordered eggplant & green beans as planned, and Kung Fu braised pork in replacement of Colorful Combo dumplings because the picture on the menu looked good. I enjoyed the eggplant & green beans. It's nicely seasoned and pretty authentic. It came with rice (not pictured). The Kung Fu braised pork was quite a different story. The pork felt plain and a little dry. They were not supposed to go with broccoli. Usually they go with bak choy. The buns were fine though - soft and fresh. Both were reasonable portions for the price. If I come here again, I'd reorder eggplant & green beans or try other vegetarian dishes, but only if they maintain the same good quality. read more

Always need to get dumplings when I get chinese food, this place is no exception. The dumplings were very good and weren't chicken like some other places, it has beef or pork which is nice. Sesame chicken won me over for sure though! I don't have this kind of food often, but when I do, I must leave a review if it's good or bad, and this spot is one of the good ones! read more

The service was fast but what you expect from a fast casual restaurant. The biang biang noodles were spicy and vinegary in the best way possible. The dumplings were juicy and seasoned with what I think is Chinese five spice. read more

Atmosphere: Noodle and Dumpling Time is more about the food than the vibe. The interior design could use some love--the mix of warm yellow bulbs and harsh white fluorescent lights clash and hurt the eyes. On the bright side, it's very clean--much cleaner than you'd expect from a casual dumpling spot. Food: The food was a great surprise despite the dull atmosphere. The soup dumplings were FAT--Texas-sized--and a great value for how big they are. Flavor could be stronger, but their size and freshness made up for it. The pork belly with garlic was healthy, flavorful, and not greasy. And the cheese bread balls? Awesome. The cheese pull could stretch forever. Tips for diners: * Eat fast--food cools down quicker than expected. * Portions are generous (come hungry). * Dumplings are made fresh and fat--totally worth it. Service & allergy safety: This is where they really earned my respect. I have a severe peanut allergy, and at Kitchen Master in Frisco I was hospitalized and almost died because they "forgot" if peanuts were in the dish. Ever since, I'm cautious. Here, the staff went above and beyond to confirm my food was safe. That level of care and attention means everything to me, and it's the kind of service that makes me want to come back. Suggestions for improvement: * Replace the fluorescent bulbs with warm yellow ones for a more comfortable vibe. * Add more Chinese-inspired décor--more red for vibrance and good fortune. * Boost the flavor of the soup dumplings to match their impressive size. Final thoughts: Don't come here expecting a fancy vibe--come for the food and the people. Fresh, fat dumplings, generous portions, and staff who actually care about your safety. For me, that makes this spot stand out. read more

Finally! Authentic Chinese food in this area! We started with cucumber salad app and boy it was so refreshing. I love their take on this small dish. The cilantro and lightly sprinkled red onions were a nice touch! We ordered a the popcorn chicken (Szechuan) and it was a mountain of delicious crispy morsels with a little heat! Comes with a little bowl of rice which was perfect to pair with this dish. Of course we needed to get pork and cabbage pan fried dumplings... the crackly crisp that comes from the bottom of the pan.. we were squealing with delight! The filling was savory and very flavorful. If you dip it in the chili oil, brings the flavor to yet another level. Plus the dumplings are beautifully wrapped and cute little bundles. (Look like little bok choy!) Overall we left with full bellies and will be back for sure to try the noodle dishes. read more

Was in the area & ordered lunch to-go around the holidays, before this place started trending downward.

My daughter and I tried this place today. We are Chinese and Japanese combined. As you can see from the photo, the two of us ordered enough food for 6-8 people. We wanted to try several menu items to determine if this is a legit Chinese restaurant. The verdict? 100% legit! Food was EXCELLENT!!! Their version of the Tonkotsu ramen was more Chinese than Japanese and it was very, VERY good with homemade noodles. Everything on our table was spot on explosion of Flavors! Restaurant was very clean and service was top notched! read more

Ordered the pork xiao baos, and pork Beijing noodles. Definitely does not lack flavor! The pork in the xiao baos were huge and packed with juice. The noodles also had a very nice flavor. Portions were good. Casual dining and plenty of seating. Plenty of parking in this plaza. Even though there was a message on the menu that the xiao baos may take a moment to come out, they still came out pretty quick. read more

This place is the best. I stumbled upon it by accident. It's so hard to find GOOD Chinese food in dfw. My favorite Chinese food is from NJ. This place and one other are the only comparable places in all of dfw. My faves are the chicken soup dumplings, steamed and fried dumplings. read more

My original plan was to come here with my family and I would pickup something else for me later as I am trying to stay low carb. That changed very quickly after I walked in. The first thing that stands out is the authenticity of this place it has the same kind of vibe that you might find in Hong Kong except that there is more space between the tables and it is quieter. The Mongolian Beef was very low carb (probably keto) if you request no rice (it comes on the side anyway). I asked for it very spicy and it was fantastic - it made my nose run a bit. Very, very tasty. My wife was hesitant to try the Orange Chicken as she has tried it in 3 different places that let her down. She decided to give it one more try and found what she had been looking for - very orangey with orange peels in the dish. Very well executed. The dumplings- both steamed and fried were met with applause- my wife expressed how happy she was that this place was here. She and my granddaughter daughter tried the Sam Sun dumplings (fried) and the Colorful Combo dumplings (steamed). At a table next to me a Mom was trying to convince her son to order some dumplings, but he was skeptical. I showed him our Colorful Combo and his eyes got wide and he decisively proclaimed "I want that!". The other thing I wanted to comment on was the outstanding staff. Very friendly and attentive. When my granddaughter got fidgety- she was supplied with some dumplings dough so she could practice making dumplings. We finished with some Jasmine tea - an excellent meal and a good time. This place is a hidden gem and one of the best Chinese restaurants around - and it is very affordable. Highly recommended. read more

i got food from this place a while back, we did a pickup order and i believe we got dumplings and a few other things. i got the dumplings, but they were probably some of the worst i've ever had. it was literally only meat and corn. no green onions, nothing, it was really weird and the flavor was super off, just tasted like straight up minced pork. i had to eat something later just to not be hungry since i couldn't stand eating more of it. i'm sure the people there are nice, but the dumplings were inedible (i came here in december 2025) read more

Food was ok. Don't think their noodles are served correctly. Their ramen noodles & regular noodles are the same, no distinction. I love ramen so I know ramen. When questioned about it, the lady just said those are their ramen, I hate fat noodles...not impress esp with the lady server who didn't care....last time I'll eat there. read more

We recently ordered pickup from Noodles and Dumpling Time in Allen and overall had a positive experience. We got the chicken noodles (similar to lo mein), steamed dumplings, and the curry chicken noodles (lo mein with curry sauce). The food was good and met our expectations, though the noodles were a bit greasy for our taste. Next time will just order the dumplings. the steam dumplings were very fresh and delicious would order a plethora of those. One highlight was their smooth online ordering system, which made placing and paying for our order quick and convenient. Pickup was efficient, and they got our order correct the first time--always a plus! If you're looking for quick and tasty noodles and dumplings, this spot is worth checking out. read more

They were rude for no reason AT ALL! They were nice to all the white people dinning-in. However, I ordered take out, they repeated my order back to me and STILL messed up my food. If you're black I WOULD NOT waste my money going here. It's overpriced and you can get this same food for less with way better service. It's clear they don't want black people at their establishment. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. Nothing special about this place. I requested my money back and they refused to refund my money. I'll be filing a police report against them since they want to be childish and unprofessional (to say the least...you sneaky POS) read more
