Yu Noodles

Enjoyed our visit to Yu Noodles in Herndon. We couldn't decide on which soup dumpling to get so we ordered the rainbow to try each one. Our favorite was the green one (shrimp & pork). I ordered the chicken cooked in scallion oil with sesame oil - very light and delicious. Served with a side of cold shredded carrots, edamame, and squash. It had a very light scallion flavor and it was very refreshing and not too heavy. I thought it would be like a steamed chicken with ginger/scallion sauce I get at dim sum, but it's not, it's MUCH lighter and not as strong. We enjoyed our meal and wish we lived closer. I hope we will be back again!

I used to come here pretty often, but as of our last visit, the quality has significantly tanked and it's pretty evident that they've started cutting corners. For example, the Panfried Pork Bun used to be my favorite item here but they've changed the recipe significantly. The pork filling used to be a lot larger and juicier...but now when you break open the bun, the filling is so small that half of the bun doesn't even have any meat. 80% of the bun is just dough and it's not fried well and quite greasy. Everything overall was way too greasy, including the crueller and the dry noodles were swimming in oil. I did like the texture of the noodles, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the oiliness of the broth it was sitting in. It's really sad to see this place fall short since it opened

Got the pork soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, and the chive and pork pan fried dumplings. All of it was delicious and I'll definitely be back. Great prices too.

It was hopping when we got here on a Tuesday evening. We ordered their top dishes - soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, red hot dumplings and the dry fried noodles. They were all tasted good. The best of all, it did not break the bank. The servers were busy but they were responsive to all my requests. I was happy with their services. I would recommend this place if you want to have good Taiwanese style cuisine.

I had an excellent dining experience at Yu Noodles! The food was prepared perfectly. My pork chop noodle soup was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this location. They are extremely clean, courteous and everything is prepared to perfection. Don’t miss a chance to have a wonderful bowl of noodles. Well done Yu Noodles!!!
