The Noodle Shop San Mateo

At the end of September 2008, the place changed owners and has a new menu and slightly different Chinese Food. Name of the place is still the same.  Need to give them a couple months to get settled. Updated review forthcoming. In the meantime visit nearby Little Shanghai.

The Noodle Shop is a Chinese noodle shop in the San Mateo 25th Ave retail district. It is the sister restaurant to Shanghai Dumpling House in Millbrae.
They specialize in dumplings and noodle dishes. Lunch specials are available, as are special items on weekends.

Decor, Vibe – Clean modern look. Nice looking menu with pictures. A family place with couples and small parties.

Picks:

Pork Chop & Vegetable Rice ($4) looked almost as good as the menu picture. Crunchy, low in quantity, but only $4. The Rice with veggies was fine.

OK:

Sesame Sauce Cold Noodle ($6.75) had lots of quantity and ok tasting noodles. Lots of veggy filler too.

Pans:
None

Service was ok, the place is small so how bad could it be. This is a low cost cheap place for a quick meal. Food is not great, but passable.
