"Mid-Summer Lounge is a Chinese restaurant that showcases various types of dry noodles, soup noodles, and dumplings.\n\nMy whole table ordered noodles with soup. My soup came with pork and pickled vegetables. The taste of the broth was complex and I everything I tried. It's always really satisfying being able to find a soup that has a nice depth of flavor and a perfect amount of oil. The noodles were cooked really well and the pork was super tender. The beef noodle soup was pretty good as well. It's not as good as the homemade beef noodle soup my grandma makes and it's not as good as the beef noodle soups I get overseas but it passes the flavor test of a beef noodle soup in a restaurant in America. It was really filling but not too heavy. The noodles were also cooked well and the meat was tender with the perfect amount of salt.\n\nThe service here is a little bit subpar. It can get difficult to grab a table during lunch / dinner times because you have to seat yourself. A lot of single diners come here and sit at four person tables because of the lack of smaller tables or booths. Dirty plates are also not immediately taken away and so a lot of tables are empty but occupied by trays full of used bowls. We sat at a table with dirty plates and it took about 25min for the items to be removed. I think this problem can be attributed to understaffing. The whole time we were there, there was just one girl taking orders at the counter and clearing the plates. \n\nLike other yelpers have mentioned, the language barrier here can be an issue if you're looking to customize specific menu items or special orders. However, like in most foreign places, I find it easy to simply point at pictures and pay when asked."^^ . .
