No.1 Noodles — Restaurant in Plano

When you come in, the staff greets you and either directs you to a table or lets you pick your own seating. You scan a QR code at your table to order and everyone can scan it on their devices because any items that you add will be added for the table number rather than for the individual person. All this means is that when you look at the order total at the bottom of the screen while ordering, it displays everyone's orders at your table, so don't accidentally delete your friend's orders thinking you clicked on it by mistake 😅

They have a buy one get one half off drinks deal and the staff makes the drinks very quickly. They're always very well made and delicious!! I would highly recommend the grape yakult drink (tastes like jelly!) or the thai green tea (if you like refreshing citrus).

The food comes out on really cute plates and the presentation looks good. Every dish I've tried here has always been delicious, but some of my favourites include: Fried Tofu with Sour and Spicy Sauce (Appetizer - perfectly crispy but really soft inside and the flavor is really satisfying) Seafood Fried Rice (Pescetarian - hearty but you can still distinctly taste the fresh ingredients) Noodles with Stir-Fried Tomato & Egg (Vegetarian - flavour of noodles is lighter because the tomato & egg is very flavourful) Spicy Sesame Cold Noodles (Vegetarian - definitely on the nuttier side because of the sesame/peanuts but still really balanced overall because of the lightness in the texture and garnish; the noodles seem to be some type of bean curd but they're very bouncy and delicious) Chongqing Spicy Noodle in Soup (recommended with intestines - chewy and delicious with the full-bodied soup)

They are also accommodating of nut allergies and dietary restrictions (vegetarian, pescetarian, etc.) as long as you inform them and make a note while ordering (if given the option).

On a more silly note, I love the utensil options they have. They have chopsticks, forks, regular spoons, and these very big and round spoons that are so perfect for soup. Their dishware is really unique, and I love the pink and green water cups they have.

When you're done eating, you can signal to the staff and you'll pay at your table. You can also request a receipt or to-go boxes!

Service and food are always great and I really enjoy the eating experience here. The prices are pretty affordable given the amount of food ($14 per entree) and drinks are even more so given the buy one get one half off deal!

Highly recommend...

We ordered several dishes: Thin Sheets of Tofu with Secret Spicy Sauce, Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce, Yibin Spicy Noodle, Hot and Sour Noodle, and Wonton Noodle. Overall, the experience was average but acceptable. However, what really disappointed me was the Yibin Spicy Noodle.

When the noodles first arrived, they were undercooked, with the middle portion still raw, which was quite obvious. Despite the texture issue, the presentation was decent, and the flavor was acceptable. I politely asked the server to have the noodles either re-cooked or remade. After a while, a new serving arrived. To my surprise, the noodles were still undercooked. What made me even angrier was that this new serving had no flavor, no sauce, and only a few toppings scattered on top—completely different from the first bowl.

At this point, I was so upset that I left without finishing the dish. I didn't dare to eat anymore because I feared the chef might have taken revenge on me for sending the dish back. It really felt like the staff were offended by my request and deliberately served a worse dish in response. The attitude was terrible, and the remake seemed intentionally poor—no sauce, no flavor, no improvement whatsoever. As a noodle lover, I can clearly tell if the noodles are undercooked or if it's just their usual texture, and in this case, they were definitely not cooked properly.

I hope the owner takes this feedback seriously. I'm only commenting on the Yibin Spicy Noodle, but I believe addressing this kind of issue will prevent such small incidents from negatively affecting...

Edit: to respond to owner’s vicious attack and warn everyone to stay away!!

Owner is angry at my real review because I spilled the truth, mind you I am not the only one stating your noodles are not freshly made, there were others that cared to point it out in previous section. As a chef I can tell whether your ingredients are purchased from which supermarket, that’s not something you can fool a trained mouth.

Regarding your attack on my credibility using my other comment to your competitor(I commented hundreds of restaurants and many are 5 stars, unlike the many bot reviews you wrote for yourself with fake accounts) just shows how lowly you are as a person and anyone who sees this and still comes to your restaurant is your own kind. I don’t want my money back, fooled me once it’s on you, fool me twice it’s on YOU.

———————- Original review: Had very low expectation before coming as I saw the pics posted. Ordered two noodles, both came with not freshly made but supermarket noodle pack liked noodles and completely different type of noodles compared to the real deal Chinese noodle(I am from china so I can judge). All Noodles are thin and soggy and service is slow. Restaurants like this can post whatever TikTok ads they want but will go belly up within the first year coz the food sucks and is not authentic. Definitely not...
