The food here is worth parking lot nightmare, you'll probably have to park nearby and walk, which isn't so bad because the waddle back will help with the fullness! The menu is so long it's almost overwhelming in the best way. The Walnut Honey Shrimp was addictive and my favorite dish! The shrimp was huge, fried perfectly, and the sauce was sweet. The beef rib noodle soup had a broth that tasted like it could heal your soul. The orange chicken was the perfect sweet and spicy protein! The house seafood chow mien was not good because the basil was overpowering and the noodles needed more sauce. They were too chewy and bland. The soup dumplings were the second best thing we ordered and they were a close second. The dumpling filling was literally bursting with flavor and made me forget everything wrong with my life. The pan fried bao buns had too much sesame for my taste personally, so I wasn't a fan. I'm letting all the bad stuff slide because of how delicious the honey walnut shrimp was 5/5 fasho read more

Noodles were amazing... we got two different types of noodles. I forgot their names. One was a noodle with like a Shanghai style. The other noodle was black pepper. The noodles literally taste homemade. Their service was great at the beginning, but then the lady at the counter yell yelled at me for some reason... the vibe was really chilling there read more

I have not been back since they first opened many years ago. But this week, I have been back twice! If you want photos, go on line to their website. The paper menu is too overwhelming with no photos. They serve Shanghainese cuisine. It's great that they offer fresh made dumplings, original dishes and their specialty dishes. We ordered one from each section. Got fried rice, chow mein, ribs, egg plant, Shanghai grilled pork buns, XLB, and pork dumplings. Side of rice is $1. The egg plant would be my favorite dish. They offer three options, we got the one with mushrooms. First time no wait time. The second time we added our name to the tablet. They told us parties of 6 automatically taps on 18% but when I got the tab, that wasn't the case. Parking is hard to come by in this plaza. First two hours free. There's a paid lot across the street for $4 an hour. Or free street parking. read more

Incredibly flavorful dishes served in large family style portions. The service was quick and efficient, bringing out dishes fairly soon after ordering. The space is casual and comfortable. Every single dish was bursting with flavorful but the tasty dry pot with prawns was the standout winner - will definitely be back to get it again! Parking can be tough in the adjacent lot - it's a busy strip so be prepared to spend time securing a spot if you have reservations. read more

Tasty Noodle House always hits the spot when we're craving Chinese food! It was pretty busy when we came, but luckily we got seated after about a 10-minute wait. Chow Mein 100/10: We usually order 2 servings because it's THAT good. The portion sizes are huge, and it's always the dish we recommend to anyone we bring here. Garlic String Beans 10/10: Sometimes it can be lacking flavor, but this time it was perfectly garlicky and savory. Definitely a must-order. Pork Chops 10/10: Super flavorful and pairs so well with either rice or noodles. The staff is always kind, service is quick, and overall this place is definitely on my list for good Chinese food! read more

Firstly the parking is non existent and people are rude so be prepared to deal with that. But once you overcome that the rest is smooth sailing. Had lunch here even with all the other options in the small area and I'm glad I did. The inside was nice and clean, was approached by server very fast. My first time and server offering some suggestions. Had cucumber and fish. The cucumber was nice, crisp, crunchy with just the right amount of heat and the fish was soft and flavorful. Needless to say there was no left overs. The only drawback was the satay tasted old. read more

Tried this for the first time during a weekday lunch hour and it did not disappoint. Our group ordered a few items from the expansive menu and it was impressive how quickly everything came out! A couple of my favorites from our order list were the Xiao Long Bao & Beef + Scallion w/ Black Pepper Sauce - both were so flavorful. The serving sizes and prices were very reasonable. Parking is in a shared lot on Convoy that can be a bit crowded so I'd plan ahead for that. Otherwise, I enjoyed it here and would come back! read more

Stopped for dinner after running errands before heading home for the evening and saw this place had no line or wait. Usually Tasty Noodle house is always packed. We were warned that last call was about 45 min from when we were seated which was not an issue. The menu was extensive and had every option we could want to try. We ordered the wonton soup, beef noodles and long bao. All of the food came out very quick, very hot, and very delicious! It was the perfect meal for a cold night! The dumplings were filled with a delicious filling, and the wontons and soup complimented each other well. The noodles perfectly balanced in sauce and had a fresh bite of the cucumbers. The xiao long bao are a must get! Broth was flavorful and th fillings seasoned perfectly. read more

We came for dinner on Christmas Day around 5 pm and it was super packed but we only waited about 15 mins to be seated. Our party of 4 ordered the following: -Shanghai grilled pork buns (4/5): nicely crispy on the bottom and juicy on the inside, good amount of meat and big in size -Shanghai style chow mein w/ pork & veg (4.5/5): tasty and great flavor, thick and chewy noodles -Combination fried rice with beef, chicken and shrimp (3/5): too flavorless and bland, no wok hei flavor -Ginger scallion beef (5/5): super delicious and tender, good amount of sauce and flavor, onions were a nice addition Overall, the prices were decent and portions were big so we had leftovers. We were told the food would take about 30 mins to come out since they were busy but they all came out in 5-10 mins. However, 2 of the dishes came out kinda cold so that was kinda disappointing. It was kinda hard to flag down a waiter since they were so busy but they were efficient and friendly. I would come back again! read more

Came for a Christmas dinner around 5PM and it was really packed, but our party of 4 only ended up waiting about 15 minutes to be seated after joining the waitlist on site. This was my second time here after the first time a few years ago! Food: Shanghai Chow Mein w/ Veg & Pork- Thick noodles (4.5/5): good flavor and chewy noodles, but pretty oily like most Chinese food Combination Fried Rice (3/5): tasted flavorless and too plain. I think I enjoyed the beef fried rice more from my first visit Ginger Scallion Beef (4.5/5): very tender, saucy and flavorful! The onions were a nice addition Shanghai Grilled Pork Bun (4/5): I liked the crispy bottom and there was plenty of meat and filling inside, but I expected them to be more juicy We were told the food would take 30 minutes since they were so busy, but it was only actually about a 5-10 min wait. However, 2 of the dishes came out kinda cold which was disappointing. Prices are decent and the portions are big so we had leftovers. Service was kinda slow as they were busy, but friendly. Interior is clean but pretty cramped. I wouldn't mind coming back when I'm craving Shanghainese food! read more

We came back again for another go! Had the eggplant and shredded pork, ginger beef and green onion, pork and chive dumplings and seafood chow mein with black pepper sauce. All was soo good, we especially devoured the eggplant and chow mein. Actually most of our dishes our amazing server recommended as we couldn't decide what to order. Super fantastic, we literally got one dish right after we ordered and everything came out hot and fresh. Love this place! read more

First time trying out this place and it was overall great! We went during lunch time so parking wasn't an issue in the plaza. Although as others have mentioned, this plaza is packed during peak hours. We ordered a few items and it all came out rather quickly. The food didn't come out piping out for our entrees but the baos and dumplings were fresh from the steamer. We tried the chicken fried rice, house sweet and sour pork, house noodles with pork, grill pork buns, Shanghai soup dumplings, and beef scallions. Rice was $1 per bowl. For the amount of food we got, we thought it was reasonable and had plenty to take home. Great place for family style meals. Overall, I would come back. read more

I visited this location on a weekend for an early dinner. I can see why this is such a commonly mentioned spot among people who went to school here - it screams affordable chinese comfort food that's also very take out friendly. The menu is pretty simple and everything you can expect a place named tasty noodle house to have. For a group of 3, we got spicy cucumber salad, pan fried dumplings/bao, ginger scallion beef with noodle, and salt and pepper pork chop. Cucumber salad tastes as it should and was fresh, crunchy as it should. I did appreciate the numbing spice the cucumbers were marinated in. Pan fried bao was good, juicy inside but would prefer a crunchier exterior, or at least the base. Scallion beef with noodle was ok, more similar to jajangmian. Salt and pepper pork chop was not what I expected it to be, but was indeed fried pork chop strips with salt and pepper. I was expected the larger slabs of pork chop, fried golden brown iykyk. Parking was a little challenging, and I can definitely see possibility of NO parking spots available if we had come a bit later. Overall, wouldn't go out of my way to try this, or wait around for parking. I think this is like a craving chinese food but do't have time and will get order ahead to pick up take out situation. read more

This is my number 1 spot for honey walnut chicken and chow mein. Only thing is they need to update their menu because they don't serve a lot of the drinks/slushies on there anymore. Ambience depends on the time of the day as this restaurant gets super busy! read more

Great place to go and try something out of your comfort zone. I came here with a group of gals during the workday. I really enjoyed the many dishes we all had. It is family style so if you're coming solo, 1-2 dishes will fill you up. We ordered fried rice, a variety of dumplings, and copious amounts of pork items. I recommend coming during off peak hours as parking can get scarce during rush hours. Service was great, very nice and pretty fast for the amount of food we ordered. read more

Skip the salt & pepper pork chops, but the beef with black bean sauce is top tier as well as the Taiwanese chicken, xiao long bao and pork & chive dumplings. The beef rib with garlic was also on point. Service was a little slow because they were packed but they were nice enough. Space was clean. A good amount of tables for eating inside but take out is my route for this. read more

Been a while since we've been to Tasty Noodle House but the flavors are still on point. Super friendly and quick service also. Can't come in without ordering their Xiao Long Bao and the grilled Pork Buns. The sautéed spinach was also a great veggie dish and the fried rice was piping hot with big succulent pieces of shrimp and that uber flavor-packed Chinese sausage. Def a staple in the area for a reason. Always busy in this lot so parking can be difficult. A walk is always welcome after a big meal here and way too easy to over order since our eyes are always bigger than our stomachs. Regardless, always enjoy our meals here. read more

I ordered 3 different items all under seasoned dry and cheap quality . On top of that the parking is insane to get into we had to walk a few blocks and wait for Togo because they didn't let us eat inside with my service animal. Waste of time and money. 2 stars given for friendly service read more

Ordered on DoorDash and picked up. I got the eggplant with mushroom dish, and the cilantro with shredded tofu. Both are extremely delicious! Giving four stars just because ordering was a little confusing. There are some vegetarian dishes listed on their menu on their website which I could not find to order. And there were slightly different things on DoorDash and on the yelp app. Also I didn't see it indicated that entrées don't come with rice, or see where to order it, though apparently it is two dollars a bowl. And parking is a little crazy in this shopping center. Otherwise my food is very delicious and I will order from here again! read more

If there is one thing to order it's the soup dumplings! It takes 15 min from ordering for them to prepare it FYI. They are so flavorful and packed with filling and so much soup broth. Favorite thing we ordered and would go back just for this. We made the mistake of ordering both the beef noodle soup and beef chow mein which are basically the same thing but one has broth. I should've listened to the waitress and ordered the wonton soup (she said it's her fave) instead of the beef noodle soup. Not pictured but also something I like to order from here is the green onion pancake. They're so crispy and fluffy! We got here 1.5hrs before closing so right before last call. The ambiance was clean and only 4 tables were filled. Most people that came in after us ordered take out rather than dining in. read more

We got spicy wontons, soup dumplings, and a a Thai tea. All were delicious. Important to note, the spicy wontons had a peanut sauce so it was a different taste than I was used to but still good. If you have a peanut allergy, I would recommend skipping this dish. Our food came out relatively quickly and the servers were kind. Decorations are nothing crazy but simple and nice. Parking can be hard to find for this restaurant but if you search for a little bit, you can usually find something within 10 minutes. read more

Dishes were fresh and quick to the table. Service is also swift and a bit rushed. Being that it was our first time the menu was a bit overwhelming and we could have been given some suggestions. With that said, the food was absolutely spot on. Ony disappointment was the smoothie selection as almost every flavor i wanted was not available. Otherwise this is a no Brainerd add to our preferred dinner places. read more

We came on a late Sunday afternoon, and luckily got seated right away. Food served extremely fast. My favorite dish was the dry hot pot with beef , if you love the numb and spicy kick, it's the one.

Quick authentic Chinese spot for good comfort food. We split 3 plates between two people and had leftovers for the next day. The green beans were sautéed perfectly with onions and pork.

My first time here. My friend loves this place, and we went here for a weekday lunch. It got crowded and noisy, and it was difficult to have conversations. We finished up eating quickly and left for a quieter place so that we could continue to chat. The tables are placed so close to each other, and that was a bit smothering. I felt like the next table guys were eating together with us! Food was overall pretty greasy. We ordered green beans and chow main. They were both flavored nicely but greasy. Chow main noodles were very undercooked, and did not taste good. We liked the xiao long bao the best. They were delicious. Overall, it was a mediocre first visit for me, but my friend told me that we didn't order the best tasting items. She recommended fried rice. I should have taken her recommendation?? Maybe next time...??? read more

WARNING to anyone looking for genuine Shanghai cuisine: the pan-fried and steamed baos here are now machine-made, not handmade, which is unacceptable for a Chinese restaurant that presents itself as authentic. We have been ordering the pan-fried baos at Tasty Noodle House regularly since 2018, and they were always handmade in the past. Today, however, we were shocked when clearly machine-made baos were brought to our table. The difference was obvious: the wrinkles were perfectly and evenly distributed, a telltale sign of machine production, and the baos appeared to be squeezed into shape rather than wrapped by hand using a flat dough skin. As a result, the wrappers were fragile and broke apart easily (as shown in my photo), and the texture and taste were completely different from handmade baos (as their front wall advertisement picture). This was honestly insulting, especially given the restaurant's long-standing reputation. What makes it worse is that the restaurant still displays photos of handmade baos on the glass wall at the entrance, which is misleading compared to what is actually being served. In addition, the wonton soup was overwhelmed by excessive soy sauce, masking any other flavor. This further reflects a noticeable deterioration in food quality. I hope this review helps others who are seeking authentic Chinese dishes. For those who still believe this restaurant offers genuine Shanghai cuisine, it unfortunately no longer comes close. read more

Tasty Noodle House is either a hit or a mediocre miss. But when it hits, it's really good. The menu is huge, which makes it hard to discover their hidden gems. I would recommend their beef noodle soup, and honestly any of the veggie dishes too. One downside is that they recently changed their salt and pepper fried pork chops. They still taste good, but now they barely have any meat on them, which is disappointing because they used to be one of the best items on the menu. The staff is always super nice and friendly, which makes the experience better overall. It can get pretty crowded though, and they like to pack seats. There are probably better Chinese food options on Convoy, but Tasty Noodle House is still a solid, reliable choice! read more
