    Second visit was disappointed. Radish cakes lacked shrimp and scallions. Deep fried dumplings had very little meat. Steamed pork buns had nasty meat quality. Beef balls too thick and flavorless.

    I love this place for specific dishes: pork intestines hot pot, salty fish fried rice! I don't think any place in Manchester has those two dishes that cooked as good as this place. When ordering pork intestine hot pot, you should order white Rice to eat with it. The service is nice too, never have any trouble while dining here This is like a family vibe restaurant, very cozy. I always come here for a quick meal

    Little bit of everything.

    Acceptable Chinese food for the area. Food arrived quickly and drinks were on point. We walked in with 14 people Sunday at 6 pm. No wait.

    Do you want dim sum but don't want to go all the way down to Boston and deal with the traffic and parking? Then this is the place to go! This is one of the only places in NH that has dim sum. We tried pretty much everything and everything was great. Everything was fresh and hot, unlike some of the more popular Boston dim sum places where things have been sitting out for a while so it's lukewarm. Out of everything we've tried, here are some things we recommend: Chicken claw in black bean sauce: this might be a bit more adventurous pick for most, but it is so good. Not too salty, but perfectly pairs with a side of white rice. Not the easiest to eat, but chewy and very good. Shrimp in rice rolls: This is a dim sum staple we get everywhere, and theirs is really chewy outside and has no fishy smell to shrimp. Sesame balls and egg tarts: These came out hot and delicious. Goes well as dessert. Aside from the food, the service was also really fast, and the servers were very accommodating and jovial. And to top it all off, the prices were much more reasonable than Boston places. So this place has it all: the good food, great service and very reasonable prices. Definitely check this place out.

    From top, left to right:  Traditional sticky rice,  char sui bao (BBQ pork steamed buns), beef chow fun

    I've been coming to North Garden with my family since I was young at their very first location which is now Pizza 911. The food is always fresh tasting, and the staff is always very welcoming and accommodating. Since their inclusion of dim sum on the menu I almost always come for it. My favorite is the sui Mai. The restaurant has an inviting dining area with a small bar with opposite side having a large lounge and bar. There is something for everyone.

    Stream pork & shrimp dumplings, Shumai, and spare ribs with black beans sauce.

It's not just good because every other Asian restaurant around (I could actually say all of NH and not be wrong I think) is mid and below, it's actually standalone great.

Steal my order for 2 and you'll go home happy Twice cooked pork - extra spicy Fish fillet in spicy Sichuan broth Mapo Tofu Plus, they got self serve Keno... Long live House of Noodles 面之家万岁!

    Nondescript building on Daniel Webster Highway that you have to enter from the rear, but easy…read moreparking makes up for it. Lots of nooks and crannies, including an L-shaped bar, before you get to the main dining room. VERY lengthy menu comprising at least four Asian cuisines. My wife and I tried 10 dishes over two visits. -- Scallion Pancake: My wife chose this. Not exactly blazing new ground, but light, crispy, more scallion flavor than most, and ginger dipping sauce darker, thicker, clingier, and tastier than most. Above average. -- Cold Noodles with Sesame Sauce: Gotta mix this all up to get all the flavors distributed. Thin noodles, softer than most, and mildly spicy sauce saucier than most-- meaning it somewhat overpowered the noodles textually. Taste wise, no problem. Average. -- Singapore Chow Mei Fun Noodles with Tofu: This is my wife's dish and her domain. She's pretty particular about how she wants her noodles, and she was pleased that this rendition was neither too wet nor too sweet. Thumbs up from her. I tried a small bite and agreed. Above average. -- Biang Biang Noodles with Spicy Cumin Lamb: My favorite dish of the day and a pleasure both taste wise and texture wise. Long, thick noodles that felt homemade, not too sticky, not impossible to break, and nice wiggle. Not particularly spicy in the hot pepper way, but very spicy in the flavor way, with the cumin, as well as complementary vegetables. I've had this dish in a bunch of places and I gotta say this was the freshest I've ever had the lamb. Just enough liquid to make it work while letting the noodles and lamb shine. Well above average. Some heat would bring it over the top. -- Fish Filets in Sichuan Hot Chili Broth: Standard dish, solid execution with no surprises. Very tender fish, perhaps a little fuller if cut than most and a bit less spicy than most. Average, but not a bad average-- this dish is usually good and so was this rendition. -- Honey Spareribs: The second visit started with a dud here, as the ribs looked and felt very old. Honey glaze with odd cinnamony notes couldn't hide the dryness. I sent them back and they took them off the bill. -- Cucumber and Fungus in Vinegar Sauce: A cool, refreshing dish with the cukes well marinated but still crisp to the bite. -- Mini Pork Buns: Small (grape-sized) balls of pork surrounded by bao dough, steamed and lightly fried, served with a sweetened soy sauce. Not bad, not remarkable. --Sautéed String Beans: Thin, moist, cooked through but still retaining snap, slightly blackened in a good way, and accented with salty fermented bits. Very nicely done, though not spicy as billed. -- Ma Po Tofu without Meat: Soft, silky tofu and a smooth, mildly spicy sauce without any bits and pieces to add interest. Good flavor but a little one-note. Good service. You don't often get full service, never mind good service, at a hand pulled noodle joint, so this was a pleasant surprise. The interpretations of classic dishes were different enough that I can see some naysayers, but I mostly liked mostly everything, with the first visit very strong and the second a bit of a drop off. Very good value, as the volume of servings was higher than most and the pricing was lower than most. HUGE menu. Some might say too huge, too ambitious, and I agree. But as long as the execution is there in a few key dishes-- like the biang biang noodles I'll mostly stick to--I'm happy. My wife likes it, so there'll be more visits.

My bride opted for a pork noodle bowl.......loved it, I got the Dan Dan peanut noodle bowl. This dish had such depth in the flavor, it was not a quick sauce off. I noticed the sesame oil roasting of the peanuts in my dish, it just added that level of complexity and flavor. Prices are exceptional, two of us ate, 1 drink each, app and two dishes $60. I love Anju a ton also, but these flavor profiles are completely different. YOU need to go her and check this place out.

    I'm glad Lowell has a place like this. This spot reminds me of Chau Chow city in Dorchester, Peach…read moreFarm/New Golden gate in Chinatown. Recently renovated, it definitely feels more welcoming to dine in. It's so live on the weekends during dim sum time. It's always a pack house. Parking situation might be tough but just be patient. There's always a party leaving every 5-10 minutes. Expect heavy traffic lol Fried calamari was really good. Make sure to go up and get it once they bring it out. Black bean clams were ok, a little bland for me. Shumai they had a couple options. I definitely like the XL size ones. Steamed shrimp noodles were ok, not bad. Chicken feet were pretty good.

Typically, you are quickly seated with the server checking in immediately and providing hot tea for the table. This is based on 3 recent visits, and weighted by the last visit which was a disappointment. The neon lights outside beckon you to come in. It's a brightly lit dining room with round tables typical a large Dim Sum restaurant in Boston. Perhaps a little too bright, but there is typically a table available. It offers late dining which is great. The food is certainly very good typically with good sized portions at a good value. The pan friend dumplings a large, tender and a great value. The Hunan and Sichuan dishes provide healthy portions. Definitely very good Chinese food for the area. It is typically served quickly and very hot. The service has been mixed. On a not so busy night, we felt ignored. It took a long time to get drinks (arriving with the food in one case) on one occasion.
