Q noodles - Chinese Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This place is a great find and authentic Chinese. We walked over but it looked like there was parking and the space is bigger than we expected. It's got a kiosk to order take out if you wanted but we sat down to enjoy our food. Service was quick and friendly. The food came out well paced and coming from NoVA where there are great authentic places, we were so pleasantly satisfied after a cold day. The space is was clean, bathrooms well stocked, and we will be back when we're looking for a Chinese food fix! read more

Eh. The food is just ok. TBH if I'm looking for good takeout Chinese in cville my go to is Hong Kong on Avon. I've tried everything else and knew Q Noodles is well reviewed but HK is undefeated. We ordered takeout and decided to try a few different things on their menu. I will say the food came correct and the packaging was clean and tidy. The prices are expensive but the portions are huge. We ordered 2 apps and 2 entrees and couldn't finish all of it. 1 of each is enough for 2 people. The pork steamed buns were our favorite. Not the best I've had ever, but possibly the best in cville. The bun was super light and fluffy and the filling was savory. I prefer mine to be a bit sweeter with a BBQ flavor, so not my all time fav but very good. 8/10 The egg rolls were just fine. Well prepared and cooked. Tasted slightly too oily. The inside was cabbage and either ground pork or chicken. No carrot. The inside was so finely minced it kinda turned into a mush. So the texture was not the best. Hard to distinguish the flavor as well. 5/10 The sesame paste noodles with ground pork was presented beautifully with red cabbage, cucumber, edamame, corn, shredded carrot and cilantro. I think the sesame paste sauce was just too one dimensional, but maybe that's the point. The noodles were overdone so underneath the beautiful rainbow of toppings was just kind of a pile of mushy noodles in a plain sesame paste. After a few bites the earthiness/mushiness of the dish starts to be overwhelming ... not my favorite. 4/10 The general tsos was packaged well and came with white rice a few pieces of steamed brocolli and a ramen egg. The ramen egg was good. The general tsos the chicken was good quality and very fresh. It reminded me of an orange chicken in terms of how their GT tastes. My favorite GT in cville is from Hong Kong and unfortunately this one wasn't as good. The chicken was good quality but the texture was quite soft and not crispy the way I prefer. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for my preference. Overall, a good dish it is enjoyable just not my fav. 6/10 With how much hype they get I was expecting a bit more - perhaps at some point I will try their soup dumplings since they may be the only place in cville that does them. But for $13 for 6 pieces I may just continue to wait awhile considering the rest of their food was fairly average. Overall, a solid spot for average Chinese food. Nothing amazing but will satisfy a craving for well made Chinese food if you are looking in the uva area. read more

General tsos c chx dumpling, shrimps shumai, and beef noodle soup were all excellent. Service was great too. Only drawback was ko AC. Not sure if that is temporary but in summer it's tough. Fans everywhere. read more

The Q noodles is the best place to meet with your family, friends and for the business class as well. High quality of service, rich menu and welcoming staff. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, and I am sure everyone will love and appreciate it. read more

The food is ok. This is part of a chain. The XLB were ok. Not too juicy. The golden soup was ok. Not too much meat. Cucumber salad was good. They have Americanized dishes like general Tso's. Average at best. Too sweet. Kinda gross. Place is mid. read more

Cute little restaurant! The dumplings were nice and reasonably priced. The waitstaff were kind.

Food was pretty good! Love the dry noodles (I ordered the Yibin noodles). The marinated duck was very tender and tasty, but also a bit dry. Everything overall was very good, but also quite oily. The staff was very friendly, and it was beautiful on the inside. Nothing to blow your mind away, but there were really pretty decorations and places to take photos! I definitely recommend if you have not tried it! read more

Came here on a Monday night and it wasn't super busy. There is a small parking lot in the front with limited parking. The restaurant itself is very well decorated and has plenty of seating for small and large groups. We were seated right away but the waitress did not come to take our order for at least 15-20 mins on top of waiting 20 more minutes for the food. We tried to get someone's attention but they were nowhere to be found even though the restaurant wasn't too busy. We ordered 4 noodles dishes. 1 rice dish, 1 pork xiaolong bao and 1 scallion pancake. The scallion pancake came out last and it was the worse of all - it was overcooked that it was hard to chew on. The noodles dishes were meh... definitely had better. The xiaolong bao was the only thing that we all liked. Overall, the food was okay, it's not something that I would be craving for. They also added 18% tip to our bill for 4 adults and 1 kid. read more

Pro: clean interior, online ordering, Con: limited/ cramp parking space, no air conditioning, price, food. My hope for finding a good ramen restaurant here in Charlottesville continues since this place was not it. The establishment is located near the college & hospital so foot traffic is heavy as you try to navigate to the restaurant. The parking lot is very small and cramp which makes it hard to maneuver. The inside is very modern and clean. The price here is very expensive but I guess that part of the high cost of living here in Charlottesville. For appetizer, we had the pork dumpling and for the entree I had the Sichuan beef noodle. For the drink I ordered the mango smoothie. My companion order the cheese potato tower. The pork soup dumpling was good while the potato tower was a bit stale and lacking in flavor. The sichuan beef noodle broth had some spicy but not much flavor. The mango juice was kind of bland and artificial. The waiter was nice and just on us from time to time but brought us the check while we were still eating. All in all, my experience here was subpar and I don't recommend people come here. read more

Top find at UVA! The pork dumplings and dimsum could hold their own to Chinatown dimsum shops. The noodles had great mara spice (like maratang) and it's easy to switch out ingredients (e.g. swapping beef intestines for beef). Quick service and hot on Fridays read more

Fantastic!! One of the most interesting and diverse Asian menus in town. Great service, atmosphere and the menu keeps you wanting more. It quickly moved into my top 2-3 Asian spots in Charlottesville. I've been twice now and very pleased with both trips. You can get adventurous and go outside your comfort zone with dishes or stay safely within the traditional Chinese and Dim Sum menu. Both offer excellent handmade quality and care. Highly Recommend. read more

It's ok. Read a lot of hype about this place. Went in once we got into town, but wasn't blown away or anything. Glad we tried it though. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food was alright but nothing special. read more

I have been here a handful of times now. The staff has always been helpful, friendly, and efficient. They have the BEST vegetable noodle soup in town! Loaded with all the veggies, chickpeas, and soybeans, the broth is so good and not too salty. If you love veggies, like I do, I recommend this soup. I like the soup so much I haven't tried much else. The cucumber/garlic appetizer is just spicy enough and refreshing. The only reason for 4 stars is the cost. It is not a cheap eat. Also, the parking is terrible, especially at peak hours read more

I can only comment on the dim sum. I'm a San Francisco Bay Area transplant. So growing up with Chinatown dim sum, my expectations for dim sum are quite high. I would say the pork rice dumplings were as described. Tasty but in no way like Siu Mai. The only similarity was the wrapper and it being steamed. The steamed pork bun was ok but not like the BBQ pork I'm used to. The sesame balls were yummy but maybe 1/4 the size I expected. And for the prices they charged, I would expect the dim sum to have been much bigger. The service was not very friendly which I found to be typical of some Chinese restaurants. Staff were short, to the point, and no smiles. The ambiance was definitely college modern asian style to go along with the neighborhood. Parking is not fun. The spots in front of the restaurant are few and difficult to get out of. I liked the steam table carts but the cost per plate would keep me from coming back. Suggestions--to-go packaging could be less bulky and costly. How about packing dim sum in parchment paper, paper sacks or pink boxes? I would forego the plastic containers. I'd guess with less cost so you could charge less. Good luck Q Noodles. read more

The ambiance was absolutely gorgeous. The food especially was delicious! I got the pork intestine noodles and they were amazing. My friend got the sichuan beef soup and that was good too. Highly recommend the pork dumplings. Thai tea tasted a little sour but other than that it was great! 10/10 read more

Needed to drop a fat deuce it was an emergency, went in there and they said that I needed to be a customer, really bummed me out but the place looked nice and smelled like some really good Chinese food. read more

Hot, quickly prepared food, with good attention to detail and nice level of spice. Restaurant was clean and the staff was a tentative.

I usually don't write reviews, but I really don't want this place to go out of business. It's literally the first Asian restaurant that I've been to in Charlottesville that hits the spot. Get the Pork Soup Dumplings, S5 Spicy Oil Wonton, and the Beef Noodle Soup. Buddies got the N5 Yibin Spicy Noodle, which was also good. Only thing is that the parking in this location is awful, but what can you do. read more

Food was solid. Two adults and two picky kids. All of the noodle dishes have a GF option. Service was great. Ambiance was fun and not typical Cville. read more

I usually do not give negative reviews however, this might been a been one of the worst services and quality I've experienced in sometime. The decor is very nice, and the staff was mildly friendly, but very inattentive. The service for the food was in total disarray with each entrée, arriving five minutes apart, and the appetizers some 10 minutes after all the food had arrived. They were out of several items, and unable to explain most of the menu. There is absolutely no way I will return Newark and I recommend this in any good faith to anyone whatsoever read more

Excellent food and service! Very welcoming and helpful. We got pork and chicken soup dumplings and the Sichuan beef noodles and it was all delicious! read more

Great place to meet friends, lots of vegetarian options, really good Boba tea options -- and the prices are reasonable. Portions are pretty huge to take some home, makes for a great lunch the next day! read more

Wow, what a great find. Visiting Charlottesville for the first time, and who knew we'd come across a place that could satisfy our noodle and dumpling craving! Only complaint was the soup dumpling wrappers were smidge too thick for our liking, nevertheless flavors were on point, noodles were delicious and the service was attentive. Thanks for a great lunch! read more

Pretty good food, but I would've appreciated a little better of costumer service. My mother and I had to wait for almost 30 minutes for our food. Other than that the atmosphere was great but a little disappointing about the service. read more

We ordered take out for a group of 5. The food was good and packaged well. Everything tasted fresh and was well prepared. Limited menu for people who don't eat meat but otherwise a great option! read more

Food is ok but service is awful. Seems like the waitress has no patience to do her job.

Went for lunch with some friends, service was good and food was delicious!! I haven't had soup dumplings since I moved from an area with lots of good Asian food, and these lived up to my expectations!! Definitely order the pork soup dumplings to share I also got the Q village cold noodles with sesame paste and shrimp and it was delicious, would highly recommend. Good options to choose from and everything seemed to be made with care. Lots of seating, especially for a restaurant in that part of town, it didn't feel claustrophobic like some of the more hole in the wall places. read more

"Nice ambiance and the service was top-notch. The food was flavorful and portions were just right. A solid choice for any meal!"

Delicious, authentic dim sum and dumplings. Premises are clean and spacious. Service is prompt and efficient.

This food is so great! I loved the lighting too. The waitress was so nice too! I ordered the n1 noodles, the spiced garlic cucumber, spicy potato spiral, which was so cool.
