Reviews
I figured it was time for an updated review of Noodle Man. I'd like to say that Noodle Man has been open at this location since late 2018. They were an immediate hit and have grown in popularity so much that they opened a second location in Chesapeake in February/March 2020. I hit up this VB Noodle Man location on occasion and am glad to report they are just as good now as they were when they first opened. The VB Noodle Man is small. There are about 9-10 tables and roughly 8 seats at the bar. They will fill up quickly during the lunch and dinner rushes. Regardless, their space is clean, organized and is the perfect size to view the kitchen staff as they prepare the food and make their famous noodles. The great thing about Noodle Man is they make their noodles in house. The technique they use is of the more traditional style of making noodles, which I've only seen in person here. If nothing else, any noodle dish you order will be fresh and delicious. It's obvious that their customers love that aspect, and they reward them by returning again and again. I've visited often enough to try nearly everything on their menu. And I haven't had a bad dish among them. Although they're good any time, I usually opt for the Chicken Mushroom Noodle Soup (B1.) during the winter months. I sometimes opt in for an appetizer, too - their Pork Shrimp with Leek Dumpling (A11.) is fantastic. Other highlights include: A3. Fried Salt & Spicy Shrimp A4. Fried Salt & Spicy Wings A5. Fried Salt & Spicy Pork Chop (this is a recurring theme) B2. Tomato Beef Brisket Noodle Soup B6. Hong Kong Style Noodle Soup The broth for their soup is delicious and complements the noodles perfectly. In addition, their soups are plentiful - you will get filled up if you finish an entire bowl. Finally, Noodle Man's staff is fantastic. Many of the wait staff are veterans - they know the menu inside and out, know much of the clientele (NM has many regulars at this point), and know exactly how to handle any given situation and customer. I'd like to think I'm a regular because a couple of the servers have recognized me, but I recently met a man who stops in every Saturday, and apparently comes in as often as possible. That's a testament to how good Noodle Man's food and service are - those regulars are loyal and will sing its praises to anyone who will listen. I'm glad Noodle Man has remained a fantastic place. I can always count on their food to be fresh and delicious, while their service is just as impressive. Thank you, Noodle Man! JV
Always a great spot for some yummy appetizers and wonton noodle soups! Service was great, they were fast and super sweet! The place was clean and had a huge glass where you can see the chef making hand pulled noodles, very cool!
Awesome noodle spot with amazing stir fry noodles and chicken wings. Inside has great art on the walls. The server was very helpful with the menu.
Food was good! The chili oil wontons were flavorful! Little Dude #2 loved his chicken wings! Big Bro ate his beef fried rice without complaint. Daughter & Littlest Dude shared the Lan Zhou soup. Hubby liked his seafood soup and I liked my chili oil soup. Noodles were all amazing, just don't let them sit too long in the soup. Service was AWESOME! Super friendly and attentive!
Our go-to spot! We love everything from the hot & spicy soup, to the mongolian beef! The spicy pork dumplings are always a 5/5! Always cool to see the workers making the noodles! Just such a cute and cozy spot to dine. My personal favorite is the hot & spicy soup, but the brisket tomato soup was wonderful too. You definitely must stop by while you're in VB.
