| - The Noodle Man gets a solid 4.5 stars from me.
I've been to the Noodle Man maybe five times now, not to mention three out of the five was within a week. When I first heard about The Noodle Man, I just had to try it. Hand pulled noodles?! That's like a lost art in Las Vegas!
The establishment is quite modern with decor that you would never expect. They have bar seating and table seating. The bar table revolves around the open kitchen where you can see the chef hand pull the noodles or use a knife to slice off a ball of dough to make the knife cut noodles. The bar is definitely a great place to sit if you want to watch it all!
Their menu is quite simple. It's only about three pages with about .. 7-8 items on each page. Are you a person who has trouble making decisions? Are you a person that takes FOREVER to decide? Well, it won't take you forever to decide here, I hope.
Let me tell you what I've had:
I've tried A1 - Mongolian Beef Pancake, A2 - Chicken And Mushroom Pancake, and A3 - Vegetable Pancake. I didn't care too much about the meat pancakes. They just didn't really tickle my taste buds. The vegetable pancake was my favorite but I just wish they put more leek in it. Other than that, I simply LOVE the exterior to the pancake. I think they make the dough in house so the wrappers were exceptionally yummy. Crispy with a little chewiness.
A4: Fried Dumpling (Pork w/ Leek): Not as good as the pancakes. I didn't like it.
A5: Spicy Pork Wantons: Pretty good. The wantons are smaller than what I'm accustomed to. The chili oil and the spices that they use have a little numbing affect to it. Don't get this if you can't handle the spice. It has a decent amount of heat. Great for sharing though!
I've tried all of B1 - Lan Zhou Beef Noodle Soup, B2 - Beef Brisket with tomato soup, B4 - Hot and Spicy Noodle, B5 - Chicken with Mushroom Noodle Soup, and B7 - Hot Pepper Shredded Chicken Chow Mein.
My favorite has got to be the beef brisket with tomato soup. It has amazing flavors to it and the beef is so tender! The lan zhou beef noodle soup is what we call "ching" in Chinese, which means it's clean. In American terms, it could be described as bland. It's quite light in flavor with a splash of chili oil on top. The hot and spicy noodles contain the same oil and same spice as the spicy pork wantons. So after a while, I got a little bit bored of the flavor, not to mention getting a little annoyed at the numbing spices. The chicken with mushroom noodle soup reminded me of something my mom would make at home and also quite light in flavor... and the hot pepper shredded chicken chow mein is not chow mein. It is more like lo mein. But it was DELICIOUS.
In all honestly, no matter WHICH noodles you go with, it won't matter. The star of the show is their noodles. Their noodles are always al dente and perfect. Almost always anyways. There has only been one time where the noodles were soggy. But definitely worth a try.
They have flavored teas as well, which are pretty good. They are not syrup heavy which earns ++++'s from me!
As for the service, I never really got bad service. Sometimes they are quite busy and can't get to you right away. Just wave! One of the servers there now recognizes me and she's always friendly with us when we go!
Worth a try!
