They're generous with the meat--every slice was tender and high quality--and the bowl came filled to the brim. The standout, though, was the noodles; perfectly blanched with a distinct, springy chew that held up the entire meal. At $16, the portion and quality make it an incredible value.

Walked in during lunch and was able to get a table right away. Service was quick and efficient. I was very impressed with the stone bowl that came out. It was piping hot throughout the meal, that kept your meat and your noodles soft and tender. The portion on the meat ratio was perfectly for a large size bowl. I was really impressed with the freshness of the rare thinly beef slices. The Summer spring roll (shredded pork with skin) was not one of my best I have had. The grilled chicken rice was wa basic but I must say the chicken portion was seasoned nicely and not dry like most places. not pictured was pandan leaf coffee and Matcha latte. Overall the restaurant did an amazing remodeling to open up the front window space for more natural lights. Definitely will return for items on the menu

We would bring our Hmong family here when they visit. I love the display of Hmong art, crafts and tools. Unfortunately, service has always been slow even on a weekday. I'm unsure why since workers do come around and check in. I've had their pho, laab, papaya salad, chicken wings etc. It's not memorable but it's Hmong food. Hoping they bring back waitressing for serving utensils, and dinnerware rather than having customers fetch their own water, foam plates or plastic ones. It's not appropriate to bring extended family here anymore when we have to tell them to get their own utensils and pho veggies from their service area. We prefer Pho 126 for large family dining or Boba & Tea Deli for Hmong food.

I used to love the the potatoes in the beef & potatoes, the meaty eggrolls w/ the fish sauce (I miss these so much as I don't eat beef/pork anymore), oyster wings, the best wontons as well as chicken friend rice. My mom loved the egg fu young. I love that over the years the menu has pretty much stayed the same. I've gotten to see a few generations run the place and things have stayed pretty true to what I always remembered growing up. My go to order now that my diet has shifted is wontons & chicken fried rice - add med. spice and no chicken. I know chicken fried rice with no chicken sounds crazy but I don't like the veggies in the veggie rice and I really love the flavor of the chicken fried rice without the chicken. Reheating the rice at times the chicken tends to get a bit rubbery after being reheated so many times and I just don't like it but the flavor is very solid without still. They have some of the best wontons I've ever had. Slight garlic flavor to balance the sweetness of the cream cheese. if I could I would eat an eggroll.. I miss them so much!

The Hot and Spicy Lemongrass chicken had no heat and no spice and I cook with lemongrass and I could detect only the more minimal taste of lemongrass in this dish and I learned to make this dish from the published recipe from the North East Que Viet on Johnson Street.

That says a lot considering that the spot that has been at the top of my list on Eat Street has been there for over two decades! I was here for my first visit yesterday and there are three big things about MT Noodles that really impressed me: 1) This place was spic and span clean! Walking in, it looked more like a bright, fresh, corporate lunchroom or college cafeteria space than someone's living room from the old country like so many of the small Vietnamese eateries I have been to in various cities around the US. 2) The staff were very helpful, friendly, and concerned about their guests. There is clearly a high amount of pride in what they are doing in operating this business. They checked on my table several times, and they were clearly concerned about my party enjoying our meals. So much so that they seemed alarmed when I got up to pay the check and there was still food left on the table. They were worried that we did not enjoy it. We had to reassure them that everything was outstanding, but we simply had poor self control and ordered too much. 3) The food was simply awesome! In portion size, cost, variety, and taste. It is easy to find a good bowl of Pho just about anywhere but rare to find authentic Bo La Lat, Bánh xèo, Nem Nuong, or Bun Cha Hanoi as they have here. There are many places that attempt to imitate but really don't succeed. This place nails it. A more authentic Bo La Lat I have not had even in Ho Chi Minh City! 5 stars for that menu rendition alone! There are only a few versions of Pho on the menu, but I can tell you that the soup here was extremely deep, Rich, beefy, and satisfying. It was full of aromatics and good to the last drop! I am really looking forward to a second visit here to surf my way around all the other great sounding menu items!
