It was a disappointing experience coming here for dinner. This is a scenario where I felt mislead by the positive reviews about Noodle Man on Yelp.
Stopped here on Friday about 7 pm with 3 friends and there were only 2 other patrons sitting in this small restaurant.
The two waiters (a tall heavyset guy and a slender guy) were standing and talking amongst each other. One of them came to us after a couple of minutes and handed 2 menus (there were 4 of us again) and we sat down.
Prices seemed reasonable, either $8 for soups or $5 for appetizers, so we ordered about 6 soups and about 6 or 7 appetizers. The heavy set waiter brought our water and the slender waiter brought couple of appetizers. My friend asked if he could have a fork and the skinny waiter seemed bothered by us asking for a fork. Anyways the soups arrived and we were very disappointed. The noodles were chewy and the meat wasn't soft either in the Beef Noodle Soups. The Mongolian Beef dumplings were on the salty side.
The cucumber salad and the beef wrap were decent.
Overall, I was debating between 2-3 stars for this location, but the poor service by the skinny waiter and the below average food made me give Noodle Man 2 stars.
My friends and I will not come back here and will stick with Liang's kitchen where the waiters know how to treat their clients.
By the way, I made their cucumber salad at home and it was pretty comparable to what I ate at this location. Simply cut Persian cucumbers, add sliced green onion, minced garlic and chili oil and you have their famous cucumber salad. Enjoy!!
