Service was good but with the exception of the boiled dumplings in chilli oil, everything else was bland. The pan fried dumplings tasted simply like wet pork: no cabbage, no green onions, no garlic, no dipping sauce... No flavour. The pork in the BBQ pork noodle soup was flavourless and the noodles were overcooked.I'm not outright ruling this place out as some of the other dishes that were brought out to other tables looked quite appetizing. However, it's hard for me to recommend them for their claim-to-fame: their noodle soup dishes.
Bad Food and Dirty RestaurantStopped for lunch Friday June 10th 2022We chose this restaurant because of Google's rating 4.3Very disappointing.Table was sticky, ...as was the (unmarked) condiment containers that were dropped on the table.Washroom was filthy, ...as well as the back hallway that had boxes of food containers sitting on the dirty floor.My friend first ordered the Beef hand pulled noodle bowl but waitress said it is spicy (doesn't say on menu) She left us for a long time then came back to take the order again. He asked for the "fried Chicken" noodles. She said that could be spicy too but she would get the spices on the side.I ordered the pork noodles and we were to share an order of dumplings for an appetizer.The chicken soup came with a bowl of flavorful broth and overcooked spaghetti type noodles, with a side of a piece of fried chicken fillet? ($14.99)Mine was a bowl of broth with overcooked noodles and bland slices of (boiled??) pork on top. ($14.99)The appetizer of dumplings came when we were 1/2 done the soup. They were 6 pcs of cigar shaped doughy messes that had very little taste and no dipping sauce. ($7.99)Absolutely nothing we had was good, ... or fresh tasting.The restaurant had a few tables when we got there but they had all been served.Seems they cater to take out and do not care at all about the people in the restaurant.There was only one server and I know she was busy, ...but not helpful at all.
my go-to comfort food in kingston - their noodles are amazing and the portions are super generous! can't recommend enough :)
Overly salty mapa tofu dish and not spicy even though I ordered the spicy. Friends enjoyed the noodles though.
I ordered the Lanzhou beef tendon noodles, and the first few bites were delicious. However buyer be warned, the tendon must have been soaked in brine or heavily salted because each tendon chunk was very very salty. I couldn't stomach the salt and I ended up leaving quite a bit over; unfortunetly even the soup, which was delicious, became too salty for my taste. The noodles were of high quality and had good chew, being assumedly hand-pulled. The dumplings in chili oil were alright, but I definitely could have forgone them had I known how salty the meal was going to be. Will have to try maybe other types of meat instead of the tendon, if I come back.
Absolutely delicious. The noodles tasted so fresh and the soup was amazing. My new go to spot!!
Tried Sophie’s Noodles for the first time on New Year’s Eve. Loved the fried calamari and look forward to enjoying the leftover noodles for lunch tomorrow! Thank you for such a quick preparation and delivery, especially on such a busy night when other restaurants were booked solid! Will be back!
Food was good with large portion sizes for the soup noodle bowls. The broth was too salty and the side was overdone but could have just been the day. Overall a nice place to go.
The noodles here are so good, so good. We also loved the deep fried tofu. The waitress was clearly busy with takeout/delivery orders, but she still came around several times to check on us. The restaurant also followed COVID protocols very stringently and seriously, which I deeply appreciated.
I ordered a noodle soup from the menu. It came in 20 minutes. My wife ordered a lunch item from the menu. After 3/4 of an hour it still hadn’t arrived. Others who were seated long after us were served their meals quickly. No explanations, and no apologies! Unforgivable! We paid for my meal and left.
