Delicious Hand Pulled Noodles and Beef!
My experience at the restaurant was excellent. I was well fed! I chose the hand pulled noodles and braised beef, which were delicious.

Enjoyable Beef Noodle Combo
My experience at Noodle Panda was great. I particularly enjoyed the beef noodle combo, and the most enjoyable part was the flat noodles! 🐼🐼

Delicious Beef Noodles & Attentive Service!
I absolutely loved this place! I stopped by for lunch and was so happy that I did. I got the beef noodles and they were so incredibly delicious.
The service was also really great. I had Diana, who was really attentive and made sure I was taken care of. It's definitely a local favorite now, and I will be coming back :)

Delicious Noodles and Mixed Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of delightful food and inconsistent service. The food was exceptional; I thoroughly enjoyed the al dente hand-pull noodles, the tender beef, and the tasty broth. The XLB were perfectly juicy and filled with soup, and the beef pancake roll was incredibly yummy.
The dining room was very clean and tidy, with cute panda decorations adding a charming touch. The price was reasonable, especially considering the good portion sizes. However, the service was a bit of a letdown.
One of the female servers, the tall lady, was outstanding – very efficient, attentive, and provided excellent customer service with a great smile. She deserves 5 stars. Unfortunately, the other server was the opposite; she was not helpful, ignored my attempts to get her attention, and spoke very loudly with other customers, earning her a 1-star rating.
This inconsistency in service definitely impacted the overall experience.

Mixed Feelings on Beef Noodles
My experience at the restaurant was a mix of pleasant and slightly disappointing. I started with the cucumber salad, which was yummy and had a nice garlic kick. For my main, I tried the beef noodles.
While the dish was OK and went well with the chili, the beef slices could be more tender. I also wished they provided more spring onions and daikon. I might come back to try other dishes like the shengjianbao and mapo toufu.

Family Favorite for Noodles & Dumplings!
I’m so happy this place opened up! My family loves this place. The noodles always hit the spot on a cold night and my kids love the dumplings.
The service is also super friendly and accommodating. 5/5 stars!

Noodles were okay, but not what I expected
My experience at the restaurant involved trying their noodles, which seemed to be hand pulled. However, the hardness was not what I expected for Lanzhou Lamian. The flavor itself was fine.

Delicious Noodles and Great Service!
My friend treated me to lunch at Noodle Panda today. We enjoyed the Special Rice Noodles w/ Beef Bone, Beef Pancake Roll, and XLB, all of which were recommended by our server. The noodles were perfectly al dente, and the beef bone was incredibly juicy.
The beef pancake roll and XLB were also yummy. We really appreciated the server's recommendations. We also ordered the HK milk tea and orange green tea, which were good too.
It was a pleasant surprise to be greeted by the chefs hand-pulling noodles behind the window. We noticed they gave out panda stickers to kids, which was a nice touch (A+ plus service). The servers were friendly and attentive, and we loved their smiles.
The dining room is huge and comfy, and the restroom was clean. We will definitely come back again with friends and family.

Good Food, Poor Service
I've visited this restaurant multiple times because of the big portion of good noodles and soup offered at a decent price. However, the wait staff is where this place falls short. With QR code ordering already minimizing their direct involvement, it's still a gamble whether you'll encounter a nice or a rude server.
After your food is delivered, they tend to ignore you, making it a challenge to get their attention. They often congregate at the front and don't check on diners, even when the restaurant is nearly empty. The older lady with dyed hair is particularly rude, acting as if assisting customers is an inconvenience.
More training in customer service is definitely needed.
