Food first, thoughts after... Wow. Authentic and delicious. Greeted in chinese at the door. Overall the service was good. They were very friendly. Everything was made fresh and the chef hand pulling the noodles in front of you. Seating is bring but not many. The restaurant was popular!

First things first, expect a long wait here! This place is so popular and very busy. The chicken chilli dumplings were honestly the best chicken dumpling I've ever had. The hand pulled noodles were the most amazing hand pulled noodles I've ever had. Because everything is so good, they are busy and service is slow.

I've not had hand pulled noodles before so I was excited to eat here. The place was packed with customers with only one small table which was waiting for us to arrive. The smell of food had my mouth watering. My favorite type of noodle was the Hor noodles which are the flat ribbon shaped ones. I found the hand pulled noodles to be a bit too sturdy and chewy for my liking but the clear broth was tasty and the beef meat was tender. Next time I will definitely get the flat ribbon noodles so I can stay out of my daughter in laws bowl lol The Peach Tea drink is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! It's made from real peaches they cook down and add the peach syrup to the tea. Omgoodness that is the best drink ever!!! You gotta get you one. The staff seemed rushed and a little bothered by us at times but I do understand it was only 2 servers working the entire restaurant. It was hot as if the air conditioner wasn't working properly but I had a small portable fan in my bag so I made it thru the heat. I do think the menu would benefit from a few more sauce and meat options, however, it was a good meal overall.

Walala is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're a noodle person. We went around 1:00pm on a Saturday and it was busy but still able to grab a table, but by 2:00 every spot was filled, so timing definitely matters. They were out of the beef pancake roll when we tried to order it, which was a little disappointing, but everything else made up for it. I got a soup with a clear soup base and it was so good, super flavorful without being too heavy. They even have a note that it's simmered for 8 hours, and you can absolutely taste the time put into it. We also tried the hand-pulled noodles and they were delicious with that perfect chewy texture. One of the coolest parts is you can literally watch them hand-pulling the noodles through a window into the kitchen, which makes the whole experience feel even more authentic. Plus, you can get a free refill of the hand-pulled noodles while you're dining in, which is such a great bonus. My husband ordered a beef-based soup that wasn't super flavorful on its own, but after adding some of the condiments from the table, it improved a lot. Overall, really solid spot with great noodles, a fun experience, and good value. I'd definitely come back.

This was my first time at this location it's situated in the shopping center where there's an abundance of Asian restaurants. And to be honest with you if you have your choice of so many great selections. Walala is a Michelin star restaurant that features hand-pulled noodles. There are four types of noodles that you can get. The hand pulled noodles were incredible. they are more of a soup-based type of meal and there are 10 different choices of selections where you could have the noodles in and I had the spicy shank and I loved it. As for vegetarian options there were a few but this didn't seem like I could take wifey too. Highly recommend and we'll come back to try more variations and more types of noodles. Service was a bit slow I showed up and the guest that it was meeting me showed up 15 minutes later I sat there the waitress never came by and asked me if I wanted to get anything ahead of time. Nice quaint little restaurant where you can view the people pulling the noodles and it was quite quiet I got there around a quarter to 12:00 and it was packed by 12:30

Love this noodle shop. We came with my fiancé's brother in law, who grew up in Gansu province in China, where LanZhou hand pulled noodles originated. He spoke so highly of Walala that we had to grab dinner with him there. Of course everything was very authentic. I got the knife cut beef tendon noodle combo that came with two beef skewers. It was delicious! I love that they have chili oil and black vinegar at the table so you can add more flavor and customize the taste. The beef skewers were good, but the size of the beef chunks were too big to absorb all of the seasoning, and it was very chewy, so maybe it had a lot of tendon. We also ordered the cucumber salad and the edamame. The edamame needed more chili oil. I also got to taste the dandan noodle my fiancé ordered. Sooo good. The hand pulled noodle was so QQ and chewy.

This place is absolutely amazing! The staff and owner are all so nice and everything is delicious. Their noodles are made fresh right in front of you and I love how you get unlimited refills. It's no wonder they are Michelin guide recommended

Do you ever go somewhere and know you're getting a home cooked meal? Cause that's every time I go here it feels like that! Food is always served hot and fresh. It doesn't take long to get the food or drinks, unless you order the hand dumplings. Those do take a bit longer than the soup to come out. The service is always friendly and they don't check in on you too much. The interior is very simple with a few tables to sit at. My favorite dish to order is the Hor Fun with beef. The beef is tender but sometimes does have a bit of fat on it. The hor fun noodles are large but soak up the broth perfectly. They also travel well and hold their shape/texture. The boba and fruit teas are absolutely delicious! I love coming here and love bringing others here to try the delicious food!

All about dem noodles. Loved the chewy and bouncy hand-pulled noodles. I went with the spicy Sliced beef not too spicy. I added some chili oil to kick it up. I loved how the broth infused in the noodles for added flavor. We also enjoyed the wonton in chile sauce which had toasted peanuts and chives as well hint of peanut in the sauce. The wrapper was so light and delicate it melted in your mouth. Yum

KUDOS to the staff for providing supreme quality customer service! I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and Boiled Dumpling Sampler and it was delicious! They play Christian music and the ambiance was quiet! I highly recommend all to come and visit to support this local business! This is a Michelin star restaurant!

Very pleasantly surprised by Walala! Located in the Enson Market plaza, the restaurant is clean, well organized and the staff speaks both English and Chinese. The noodles are made fresh and cooked immediately, you can watch the masters at work in the glass open kitchen in the back. You definitely taste the difference between fresh and dry or frozen noodles, they're so much more bouncy. The portion sizes are pretty hefty. I had the beef shank preserved veggies with hand pulled noodles. Lots of tender slices of beef and the veggies were not super salty which was perfect. There was so much noodle! If you're a slow eater, you may want to portion some out so it doesn't soak up all the soup. The soup was very flavorful. They have a lot of side dishes and appetizers to choose from as well.

Huge fan of Orlando's Chinatown, so I had to check out this hand-pulled noodle spot. Small, bright, and always busy. Watching the chef stretch the noodles in the front window is honestly mesmerizing. Portions are massive, and after you finish your noodles, they'll fill you up with a second portion for free! You'll definitely not go home hungry. I got the spicy short rib beef noodles and sliced beef noodle soup, the noodles were perfectly cooked, al dente, and you can really tell the difference between homemade and store bought. The broth from both dishes are flavorful, but needed to be dressed up a little, as I think it's missing some salt. I also tried the steamed dumpling combo with chicken, pork, and beef. They were big and juicy, but definitely need a lot of chili oil and soy sauce to make them better. Chicken wings were nice and crispy, comes with thai chili sauce, but nothing to brag about. Would come back to try more items!

We finally made it in. We've been wanting to try this place for so long. We each ordered something different and it was all amazing. My one son is a vegetarian so they made him a vegetarian noodle soup. My other son wanted the combination dumplings. They are both 10. The vegetarian ate more than half his and took the rest home. My other son ate every last dumpling. My mom got the beef rice noodle soup. My sister the Dan Dan noodles. I had the spicy beef hand pulled noodle soup. Everything was incredible. Packed with flavor. We can't wait to go back and try some more things. The five us are for under $100. To us that's amazing. Service was phenomenal. I didn't realize how tiny the place was but the set up works well. Fun little added bonus to get to watch the noodles being pulled and everything being cooked in the open kitchen.
