When reminiscing upon my experience at Beijing Noodle No. 9, one of my standard catchphrases comes to mind - UGH. My friends had chosen it based on convenience, since we were staying in the hotel and were already in need of a nap. My foodie alarm definitely sounded at this appalling selection.
The service here was very straightforward and certainly not accompanied by a smile. The food was pretty terrible as well, with most items doused in salt. The Sweet Red Bean Buns were perfectly moist and stuffed with the dessert-like paste. This was the sole highlight of the meal. The Hand-Pulled Noodles were mediocre at best and rather mushy, in actuality. The Diced Eggplant Sauce that covered the noodles was so salty that no amount of water managed to rehydrate us. The Seafood and Egg White Fried Rice was unmemorable and similarly salty. The main feature that this dining establishment has going for it is the futuristic, white decor that makes you feel as if you are in a spaceship. The beautiful fish tank also enhances the atmosphere. However, with so many great restaurants in town, Beijing Noodle No. 9 is not worth your time...or even this rhyme!
