Best noodles and dumplings I ever had. Traditional Chinese noodles and dumplings for sure. Love it

Their advertisement pictures on the store front's glass got me drooling so I wanted to check it out with my boyfriend, also I'm a huge fan of northern chinese food because it's my mom's hometown. The got nice wall art too, depicting the popular dishes from the north so I had my expectation and hopes up. Service is ordinary, she speaks little English but can get by ordering, we order first at the counter the sit anywhere. Braised egg is 2 for $3.50, salty but expected since it's marinated. Came out steaming hot, and yolk was not overly cooked and dry, not bad. Starting with the Chinese hamburger I felt sad and know not to expect too much from the other dishes we ordered. First the meat look different than what others have posted before, and it was kinda dry and too salty to eat. There was no other spice, only the meat juice flavor. The bun they use was stale to eat. Traditional way of making this should be the flaky oily pancake, or at least make the buns softer to eat. The mutton stew was clear and very heartwarming to drink on a cold day. But the portion is super small for the price. The glass noodles were gone in literally two bites. I had none to share with my boyfriend. This dish come with the burger bun too that you can soak them in the soup so I guess this is the extra carb make up for the less noodles. Oil splash noodle is their specialty? It was good but didn't wowed me. Noodles are chewy and well cooked, came with lots of bean sprouts. The sauce is flavorful and actually not too oily which I enjoyed more. You can add the beef for an extra charge, it's the regular braised beef, was just ok. I find it funny that their all food arts on the wall look nothing like the actual way they serve it. read more

Wow!!! The noodles here are some of the best I've ever had. They are hand pulled, thick, chewy. The oil splashed noodles are incredible--not only are the noodles excellent, the flavor is rich and addictive with umami and subtle spice. We also loved the pork and leek dumplings and Chinese breakfast items (sweet soy bean milk, deep fried dough). Don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu--homey, authentic Chinese food. Self order at cash register area, self seating. Awesome prices. Limited indoor seating. read more

We were told the dumplings and noodles are made fresh, so we had to try. Dropped in on Sunday around 6 PM and was directed to order at the counter. I noted that the servers are shy, speaks limited English so lots of pointing on the menu to order our food. We grabbed our own water and utensils, then sat down to wait for our food to be served. The pork and preserved egg congee came first, about 7 mins after ordering. It was a nice portion for $3.50. It was too watery for me, prefer my congee thicker but it was very flavorful! The stewed pig feet arrived next, not as tender as I would like but still good. Ate half and took the other half home to heat up in a soup to make it a little more tender. Beef noodle soup was yummy, traditional northern Chinese soup. Full of tender beef chunks, bok choy, and you can tastes the quality of the noodles. Soup was seasoned just right. $9.99 for this bowl was not a bad deal. The pork cabbage dumplings came last, about 20 mins after ordering, I'm sure due to the time it took to prepare them fresh. They were delicious, tasted almost like soup dumplings as the flavors burst in every bite. The dumpling wrap was the perfect consistency, not too thick or thin. This was my favorite dish ordered here. The restaurant is dated but very clean. I noted several take out orders while dining there. They have a nice selection of comfort food. I will be back to try some of the other menu items. read more

I absolutely love Northern Pasta. I'm a big fan of large, thick, and chewy noodles and they do it the best here. It took me a while to find good biang biang noodles in Houston, but I'm so glad I found this spot. When you walk in, go to the back counter to order. Just a heads up they speak mainly Chinese with limited English, so I got around it by pointing at the menu. Also, it's cash only for orders under $10. They will then give you a number tent and bring you your order at your table. They actually offer a lot on the menu, but I haven't gotten around to trying dishes other than the oil splashed noodles and dumplings. For the Oil Splashed Noodles, you have the option to add beef for an additional $3, so in total it comes out to $12 a bowl. They come in a generous portion - I always have extras to take home. The noodles are perfectly bouncy and chewy and makes you go nonverbal from how great it is. The bowl also includes sliced beef if you added it, baby bok choy, lots of bean sprouts, and a soy sauce/vinegar sauce that pools at the bottom. An absolute S Tier dish. For vibes - it's pretty quiet as there's no music, and all the patrons spoke Chinese. And interaction with staff is pretty minimal; they don't check up on you and it's mainly self serve. My only gripe is their large use of disposable plastic utensils and styrofoam dish ware at the self serve station. But besides that, this is a top tier restaurant you definitely have to try out. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant and visited on a Friday afternoon. It was not busy at all during this time, so service was quick. You order at the counter and then take your number back to your seat where the food is delivered to you. It's a quaint restaurant and has a fair amount of seating. Parking is also good because it's located in a large plaza with lots of parking. I tried the popular dishes - Chinese hamburger and oil splashed beef noodles. I see that they're popular for a reason! The Chinese hamburger was super flavorful, tender and filling. The oil splashed beef noodles were chewy, fresh, flavorful as well and not too oily. read more

Authentic northern style noodle/dumpling spot in Chinatown! Very casual, walk up to the counter and order. There are a lot of people getting takeout and sometimes the person working the cash register is taking dine in orders at the same time that people are paying for their takeout which feels a little chaotic. But the food is great and price is very reasonable. Chinese hamburger or 肉夹馍 is very tasty, the "bun" isn't too tough and the pork has the option of being spicy. The meat is very filling and it's very flavorful. The noodles are great! Lamb noodle soup definitely reminded me of lamb that I ate in Xi An- slightly gamey but not in an overwhelming way, tender with a flavorful broth to at wasn't overly salty. The taste profile was actually quite light. The noodles were cooked nicely and there's a nice helping of bean sprouts. It is filling but not heavy. Other items like the dumplings are also very good, you can tell they're fresh! Nice spot for quick casual but well executed noodles and dumplings. read more

Do not expect good customer service here, just good Chinese food you order in the back counter and be sure to bring cash, you grab your own water and utensils, they will bring the food out to you at least. It is a but cramp in here so it is not handicap friendly here. At least it looks very clean in here. The food is authentic and delicious. The English here is not the best. But if you do not know Chinese, you will still be able to order your food. with no issue. read more

I came here since I was in the area and craving savory tofu. Unfortunately when I went they were out of tofu, but I made due with what they had. Their spicy noodles in oil were so freakin delicious. It's a lot of noodles so I definitely think it's shareable and a great value for the price. Their cucumber were okay. Very fresh, great amount, but I wanted more fresh garlic to add that garlicky kick to it. Maybe just a personal preference and it was still good. They have self-serve water, which I appreciate. The place reminds me of the old school Chinatown places from my childhood. read more

The oil noodles and veggie dumplings are delicious!! The owner (lady) is so sweet and the service is great. I love coming here.

A hole in the wall mom and pop style restaurant that has handmade oil splashed noodles, dumplings, buns and so much more. I liked the oil splash noodles, with some added chilli oil and vinegar. We got 2 different types of dumplings and our favorite was the potato and leek. We also got an order of the buns. The buns were steaming hot and so good, I think it liked it better than the dumplings. Our dark horse fave was the fried pancake though. There's very little scallion or filling, and the pancake was super crispy, but we couldn't stop munching on it. It was the perfect comfort food in the cold winter weather, can't wait to be back! read more

Everytime I'm back in town, I make sure that I don't leave without dropping by. This spot is my favorite for a great, classic Chinese breakfast (sometimes eaten at lunch cause your girl is catching up on sleep debt). The service is great, you're really taken care of, and they're super fast. You walk in and you order at the counter. They make everything from scratch. You can tell because of their frozen dumplings displayed and labeled in bags if you'd like to buy to make at home yourself, and then a case of their buns and other goods on the side. Self service water and grab whatever else you may need from the side. My go-to is always their savory tofu soup, fried donut stick, Chinese hamburger, and beef and onion dumplings. Chef's kiss- add some chili oil at your table and some black vinegar? Yep, that's the way to go. Super affordable price point, you won't leave disappointed. We order their other dishes as well, great for any time of day- especially their hand made noodles and lamb soup. It feels weird typing the names out in English- an ABC here (those who know, know). Maybe I'll update this eventually with their Chinese names as well, but it would be amiss if I didn't finally write a review for my go-to spots. Happy eating :) read more

I came here to try some hand pulled noodles and dumplings, but I've had better experiences at Loves Dumpling House and Xiaolong Dumpling for noodles and service, not to mention cleanliness. The noodles were great--very chewy. The seasoning was flavorful, but we added beef and the meat itself was just okay. I would have preferred it meatless in the end. We also had the dumplings with fennel, as that sounded different from what I've tried elsewhere. I didn't realize until afterwards that "fennel" meant dill fronds and not actually fennel, so it appears to be a misnomer. The dill flavor was very overpowering and didn't pair with the rest of the filling as well as an oniony flavor, such as chives. So I wouldn't recommend those. Lastly, we tried a beef and onion bun and a pork bun, which were both good. One of the biggest turnoffs was the cleanliness. The tables were grimy and had old food glued to the sides of them. It looks like the whole place could use a deep cleaning. One last note--the lady working there wasn't the friendliest. I feel like she tolerated my questions and she also ignored me at one point to help other people who showed up in line after me. A bit disappointing. I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Northern pasta is a small, cute restaurant with a1990's mom and pop shop in Chinatown type essence. I really enjoyed the one dish I didn't take a picture of - the chili oil noodles. 10/10 - the noodles tasted homemade and the chili oil was was addicting. Even if you hate spicy things, order this. The oil had this unique, vinegary, sweet, tangy, spice to it. The meat in the buns had this hearty stew soup taste. You can tell they made the buns by hand - made with love though I personally wished the meat was more spread out on the inside instead of being in a ball. The sesame paste noodles were aight'. The paste was the star on the show but lost all its umph when mixed in with the liquid below the noodles. Skip the green onion pancake. Although fried to a perfect crispiness, it had 0 flavor. read more

Their noodles were amazing! The portion sizes were great for the price and the noodles had amazing texture(best I've had in Houston so far!) The only thing was that the interior wasn't very welcoming but it's not really a place I'd judge for their ambience. It's just not a place I'd really sit and chat with friends. Just make sure to stir it really well from the bottom. The sauce is all underneath. read more

The restaurant has a streamlined setup--order at the counter, then grab your food and help yourself to anything else you need. The staff was friendly and happy to assist when needed. As for the food, it was decent. Our favorites were the chili oil noodles and the green onion pancake, followed by the leek pork dumplings. The beef noodle soup was our least favorite. What really stood out was the freshness of the noodles and the delicious, savory chili oil available at the table--definitely the highlight. While it was a solid experience overall, the flavors just didn't stand out enough for me compared to other options in the area, so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. The restaurant is located in a strip mall among other small Asian-owned businesses. The mini pork buns were a standout for my husband & I, with a soft, pillowy exterior and a dense, flavorful pork filling--highly enjoyable. We also tried the oil-splashed noodles with beef. The noodles had a fantastic texture with a satisfying bite, and the dish smelled divine. The toppings, including bok choy, sprouts, and sweet chili sprinkles, were fresh and added a nice variety of textures. The sauce was flavorful but leaned a bit too vinegary for my taste, though balancing it with the sweet honey tea helped. My husband enjoyed the beef, but I found it too fatty. On the downside, the crunchy chili oil jar on the table was dried up and unappealing, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a decent experience, with some elements like the noodle texture and bok choy being my favorites. While the food was enjoyable, it may not be worth a special trip from the suburbs to visit again. read more

The scallion pancake is good but the one at Golding Dumpling House is way better bc its flaky. The oil splashed noods were really gos but the beef is a miss. It's dry and unflavorful beef. This was my first time trying aged egg congee and I really dosn't like it. The congee was bland and I also didn't like the taste od the egg pieces. The hamburger was good and juicy but also kind of dry probably bc of the bun. I want to try more of the menu. The menu does has English on it. read more

My mom has always been a big fan of this place and insisted that I tag along this time. As much as I trust her judgement in Chinese cuisine, I hesitated a bit since she tends to prefer carb-loaded, mild-flavored dishes over my preference for protein-packed, savory dishes. She ordered her favorite for us to share, the liangpi (凉皮 or "cold noodles"), and it was indeed carb loaded but tasted more flavorful than I expected. It looks plain at first, but the bottom of the bowl contains peanut butter sauce that is waiting to be mixed. Additionally, I added chili oil which added a nice kick. If you're like me and can't stomach the thought (no pun intended... I think?) of eating a dish of only carbs, share it with a friend so you can feel less guilty while still experiencing some Northern Chinese staples. Also, my mom loves to chat away with Chinese restaurant owners and I appreciated the lady at the counter (presumably the owner) continuing a conversation with her. read more

Today I felt inspired to make a trip out again and this was through a recommendation of the Houston Chinatown food group on Facebook. I thought why not give another new opportunity a try? This lead me to visiting Northern Pasta. I would say I came in with an open mind to what the restaurant offer. But I something I appreciated is the feel of being in a noodle and dumpling house. Just a straightforward vibe and the menu for me had solid staples. I went on a curiosity take and went with something I seen on the mural on the wall. I picked the mutton noodle and had to try the Chinese burger and a pork cabbage bun. The Chinese burger was filled nicely with just the right amount of meat, scallions and onions. I would say it would be a nice quick on the go. Two would be good for a meal. The pork cabbage bun first bite, steaming and retained the juice from the pork. What was a surprise for me was the mutton noodle. I think it is good etiquette before indulging into any soup you have to try the broth. I took a sip and thought to myself, "this is going to be good." It is aromatic, light in flavor and the noodles were a great compliment to the mutton. There is a nice balance just like a similarity how Vietnamese Phõ is constructed. Overall I enjoyed it. I visited during a time where there were a few people dining in but got a bit busier when I left. I am pleasantly impressed and I could eat the mutton noodle every time without any complaints. Now one thing that could maybe dissuade people for ordering it is the taste if somebody is not used to that flavor. It doesn't bother me and would say lamb would be more a potent profile. I would like to come back to Northern Pasta for sure. Very casual but solid staples. I would not ask for anything else but that. read more

Hole in the wall restaurant that's got super homey Chinese food. Noodles are always comfort food to the max, so cold weather day made it a perfect chance to grab some. Food comes out quick but the restaurant is pretty tight on spacing. Speaking mandarin is definitely beneficial too. We tried a handful of items and all were decent. Oil splashed noodles had a good mix of hand pulled flat noodles, some sliced beef for protein, bok choy and bean sprouts with chili oil sauce. Not as spicy as I would have expected, but there's vinegar, soy sauce and chili crisp on the table to adjust the flavor yourself. Liangpi noodles are quite slurpable but the cold noodle dish might be a bit strange to some. Chinese hamburger was chopped pork and some cilantro on a bing that was a little dry but grab some chili oil to cut through the hefty pork. Pork and cabbage dumplings are boiled, plump and juicy - make your own dipping sauce and go to town. All in all, if you want a homestyle noodle experience, this is the place to go. read more

The interior's a little outdated - but we're here for the food right? Service is about what you would expect in Chinatown - but we're here for the food right? This place is self-service. You pick up the menu at the counter, order and pay up front. The menu is in Chinese but has English subtitles. We ordered the Oil Splashed Noodle with the optional beef, and the Beef Noodle. Prices were very reasonable and portions were big. The Oil Splashed Noodle were very flavorful (5/5) and not too spicy - I would definitely get them again. However, I would pass on the beef - it appears to be cold cuts of beef shank with tendon. Some folks might like it but it's not my thing. The Beef Noodle had hearty-tasting soup, but the noodle had an alkaline taste - we probably won't get it again (2/5). We saw someone else had the pan-fried bun. Looks interesting - would probably give that a try next time. read more

After hearing many amazing things about this place, I had to come try it myself. Located in the heart of Chinatown, if you are too full afterwards it's quite convenient to take a stroll in the grocery store that's in the same plaza and run errands. I ordered the popular oil-splashed noodles, which were very tasty. My only critique would be that there was a bit too much oil for my stomach to handle, and it left a bit of a stomachache afterward when it all settled down. After all the dish is titled oil-splashed noodles, not oil-soaked noodles. All in all the flavor including the chili oil was excellent, and it was well portioned and at a very reasonable price. I'm sure there are many other dishes that are worth a try so I shall return some other time while I am in H-town! read more

3.4. Liangpi (Cold Noodle) ($10) - 4/5 Large flat noodles that were a fun shape and chewy texture. Flavor was a mix of peanut buttery/sesame sauce flavors. Highly recommend adding chili oil and vinegar to the dish to elevate the flavors. Refreshing on a hot day. Mutton Noodle ($13) - 3/5 Soft chunks of meat in a noodle soup similar to a beef noodle soup. The broth was a bit light and unidimensional and the meat didn't really taste like mutton (tasted very similar to beef), but the meat was very soft and the noodles quite chewy, in a good way. Sesame Paste Cold Noodle ($8.50) - 3/5 Similar sauce to the liangpi but with a standard noodle shape and texture. Not bad but nothing special. Stewed Pig Ears ($8) - 3/5 Chewy and nice to have on a cold day. Would have preferred them to boil it a little longer to have it a little bit softer as well as cut a little thinner. Leek Pork Dumpling ($11) - 4/5: I think they meant Chive here instead of leek. ~15 Northern style squeezed dumplings. Filling was full and great flavor. Wrapper and filling tasted like they were freshly made that day and in store. read more

If you're looking for AWESOME belt noodles, come here. Their oil splashed noodles are pretty identical to the "biang biang" mian we had in Beijing. The texture of the noodle was just perfect, the seasoning with chili pepper and oil (it's got a kick but not overly spicy) and vinegar...man, that took me back to that same hole in the wall joint down a dark alley in the parts of Beijing tourist don't normally venture...and it was sublime. Speaking of hole in the wall, that's this place in all the best ways. Unpretentious, order at the counter, get served up reasonably priced but excellent quality food whenever it is ready. Their waitress was super nice to us too when we were chatting with her, and made sure we enjoyed our meal. This place is in the regular rotation, so good! read more

Time for an update at Northern Pasta 北方麺食. We are no longer in the CoVid era but still inflation. So, I don't want to judge on the speed and efficiency on the services. SERVICE (0 of 0) Again, as usual, everyone's experience is the same. I don't need to repeat how bad the service was because they have staff shortage. FOOD (2 of 5) Mediocre at best. My scallion pancake 葱油饼 was tough and tasteless. I can see green onion pieces. But there was no flavor, not even salt. I had hard time chewing it. I think they missed an ingredient. It was really thin. I like it when it has thickness of a thin pizza. For the effort of delivery to my table, I gave them 2 stars. NOODLES (3 of 5) Considering it's a Chinese pasta restaurant 麺食, the noodles were fresh. I believe they made with a pasta machine in the restaurant. But the flavor of the mutton soup 羊杂汤 was weak. Noodles didn't get the flavor from the soup. I normally don't eat heavily salty food. So, this is below my standard. CLEANLINESS (4 of 5) For a restaurant with only one employee handling the front of the house, I gave them 4 stars. I wish they had a self-serve cleaning station for customers to return the trays. Overall, I am not coming back. I can't take the abuse of my wallet and body to endure another dish from Northern Pasta Restaurant. Even when my friends repeatedly asking to give them another chance. Uh no. I've gotta move on. read more

Quick and delicious! If you like thick hand-pulled and spicy Chinese noodles, this is the place for you. Get the hand pulled noodles with hot oil and you won't regret it. Add beef to make it more filling, but the portions are already large. They also have delish beef noodle soups and shrimp dumplings, as well as scallion pancakes, if thick moods aren't your thing. The food is out super quickly and it's very reasonably priced. It's a very low key place to bring a few friends for a delicious meal. Parking situation: on-site read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem in the Jusgo Supermarket Center off Bellaire. I've been here a handful of times and the food has been delightful every time. Let's start with the food. My go-to is the Liangpi (Cold Noodle). I know cold noodles sounds a bit weird, but believe me, it's delicious. Their dumplings are also really good (not as good as San Dong, but close). Try the Leek Pork Dumplings, and make sure to use the chili oil sauce provided at the table. I've tried the Chinese Hamburger, and it wasn't my favorite. (I'll just stick with a normal American cheeseburger, thank you. The Chinese hamburger is nothing like a normal hamburger.) Overall, the food quality is great. The service is fine. Nothing special. Most of the staff only speak Chinese (and I'm not Chinese) so at least you know it's authentic Chinese food. You can simply order by pointing at the menu, but if you have any special requests or want the food your way (like Burger King), good luck. Lastly, the ambiance is OK. It feels relatively clean, has never been crowded when I went (at least during lunch time), and there are actually some nice large Chinese paintings on the walls. I hope you'll give this place a try! I'd give it 4.3 stars if I could go with a non-whole number rating. read more

I went here around 9am on a Tuesday and the place was bustling with my fellow Chinese folks! That by itself told me the food was good. And in fact, it mostly was, and I will detail below: Oil splashed noodles 5/5- long handmade noodles and very flavorful. For me easily the best tasting thing I ate. Just be okay with garlic breath the rest of the day. Lamb noodles 4/5- was good and broth was rich. Though it seemed to be lacking something. Maybe some acidity? Was also very bean sprout heavy so be aware if you hate bean sprouts. Chinese hamburger 2/5- I wasn't a fan. Meat was dry and the hamburger itself didn't look like the pictures on the wall or menu. Also, it's not too obvious, but to order food, you go up to the counter and the menus are available on the table. You don't have to wait for someone to seat you at a table. read more

My favorite dishes here are the oil splashed noodles and the cold noodles. the prices are great and the portions are large. The wait staff only speaks Chinese, but you can get by with pointing if you're unable to communicate with them verbally. Their soybean milk quality fluctuates--sometimes it's good and creamy, other times it can be on the watery side. But the portion is large and comes in a bowl. The you tiao is made to order and super fluffy. Green onion pancakes, buns, and dumplings are alright. Definitely go in for the noodles! read more
