| - Arguably the best noodle soup in Vegas. I randomly browsed through yelp and found Noodle Man. After reading In Ian C. and Brenda T.'s glowing reviews, I was sure to stop by this place.
Bright and clean with ample seating. Nothing to complain about the service.
Menu is simple and straight forward. I should've looked at the menu more but after looking through all the pictures on yelp, I had my eye on B2 which is their Beef Brisket w/ Tomato Noodle Soup.
"I had my eye on you, you are everything that I see"
Took a sip and it was noodle soup on a whole new level. They are on their A game. Soup was rich with prominent tomato flavor that's not over-the-top. Beef brisket was ridiculously and mouth-wareringly (is that a word?) tender. Cilantro was also in the soup, which added a nice kick and a refreshing note to balance the rich soup. It sort of reminded me of Oxtail Soup from California Hotel, but not as oily and heavy.
Sadly, noodles fell short. Maybe because I am not used to the noodles they serve. I eat a lot of ramen and familiar with Japanese noodles like udon and soba, but this was nothing like it. It had a chew, and made me feel like I was eating strings of rubber. Not a fan of their noodles. Quickly want to mention that hand-pulled noodle is only served with B3 which is their Shanxi Knife Sliced Noodle Soup. Noodles were a lot thicker and I personally prefer their hand-pulled noodle over the rubber noodles.
They also sell boba drinks on the side. I have not tried their boba, but did get to try their Lychee Green Tea. Price is comparable to Chinatown boba shops and drink was alright, nothing mind-blowing. I asked them to put less of lychee syrup/sugar and I definitely tasted green tea with a hint of lychee which is exactly how I liked. They are pretty accommodating with any request which I appreciate.
I can't get over you, you left a mark on me....tomato noodle soup. I will come back for you.
