Noodles & Dumplings — Restaurant in El Paso

Tried this place for the first time (last weekend). I must admit, I was a bit skeptical... but as soon as I walked in, a glass wall caught my attention. Behind that wall were a couple of chefs, that were preparing fresh noodles! This was a cool sight for my 6 year old. Walked to our table and noticed other costumer's orders and dishes. Some tables had those cute wooden bao steam pot things, which are worth ordering just for an awesome photo for your social media, let alone their deliciousness! I ordered mixed veggies and chicken (came with noodles) for my 6 year old. My little one ate until he was full! He also told me that the next time we go out to eat, we should go back to Noodles and Dumplings, which I agree. I ordered the General Tso's chicken and added shrimp. My wife ordered the spicy beef soup. I couldn't resist, so I placed an order for some panfried bao. Overall, I was really happy with our food. The bao was top notch too! Next time I know that the entrees are big enough to feed 2 to 3 people. We left with a few to-go boxes, but were glad to eat "leftovers" the next day. Note: If you order a soup and plan on taking some home, separate the noodles from the broth because they will get really soft. Same goes for other entrees, I wouldn't leave it in the fridge for longer than a day. Paid about $70 with tip for 2 entrees, 1 large soup, 3 drinks and an order of bao. Keep in mind that I was not aware of the portions, so we definitely got $70 worth of food for 3 people... but we could have fed 3...

What a nice spot for Chinese food!

We were looking for soup dumplings and were not disappointed. We ended up getting two portions. So good!!

The skins were a tad thicker than we are used to. So, it took some time figuring out the best way to pick them up without making holes. Use your big black spoon like a shovel and gently lift it. :)

The spice levels were not bad at all. All the food we had was delicious. We even ordered combination fried rice and shrimp fried noodles to go. It survived the 4 hour ride back home too.

Their pan fried bao was ridiculous! We had ordered from Kung Fu Noodle the night before and were sorely disappointed in their bao. What a relief we were able to have some amazing ones here!

The staff was so nice! They were very attentive and kept our dishes cleared and drinks filled. My Thai tea was so refreshing! No refills on boba tea tho obviously.

Kudos to the wait staff! They had a large table come in and they brought outside food to the table. Very rude. And then their large party ordered barely anything and shared. But they kept up their smiles and were so gracious.

I fully intended to order their egg tarts but was so full and forgot! So we definitely will come back if only to fill up on...

I really love this place and was disappointed yesterday. I waitresses for 10 years previously and would also get upset when customers would come in the hour before closing. Yesterday we went to 3 restaurants, one was only taking cash so we couldn't stay, the others were all wait times of over an hour. We finally got here at around 9:33 on a Friday, we just wanted to quickly eat and leave as we were really hungry and tired at this point. The guy greets me, looks at his phone, and says sorry only take out. There was no sign on the door that said take out only after 9pm, and the hours stated it closed at 10. I've been there and been in his shoes seating tables at 15 until close, but I never misled rhe guests regarding operating hours or told them it was takeout only. Policy was, if they got there before closing we had to seat them. I get it guy, I would've wanted to go home also but you are there within operating hours and agreed to work within those hours. Please update the hours on Google or put a sign in the lobby indicating that after a certain hour it's take out only. Otherwise someone shows up and assumes your establishment...
