    Would we ever eat here if it wasn't for the comp that comes with our stays?  Probably not.  Food tastes okay, but nothing tastes great for the prices they charge.  And this surely isn't Chinatown in LA.

    Garlic shrimp, chicken & beef was a little sweeter than I would've liked.  But nice serving portion for two.  The shrimp wonton noodle soup was more bland than I'd like, but plenty of noodles and something like 6-8 (big) wontons, so hey, that's a definitely plus.  The calamari we probably wouldn't get again.  Cooked for too long as they were very chewy/rubbery, and the garlic salt & pepper didn't really cling on like the way it does when you order it from a 'legit' restaurant.

    Service is okay.  Our drinks were refilled and nothing landed on the table cold, but then again we were wrapping up just as they started seating the ocean of people who were coming out of UFC 143, so I can't speak for how they are when they're busy.

    That food with two sodas cost us just a little over $55, including tax & tip, so not bad for 'hotel' food for two, but again, without the comp, we wouldn't be eating here.  I wouldn't recommend this place either.  I'll definitely take the Dragon Noodle Co (?) at Monte Carlo over this place (that one has combo dinners/specials for 2+ people with bigger portions, more choices & better food).

    This was just okay. Nothing we ordered was bad, but it was a bit overpriced. Okay, I know that should not be surprising in Vegas, but the environment was sparsley decorated, no real vibe of any sort at all. Bowls of soup were like $10. I guess I am used to the hard core authentic places that give you awesome food for giveaway prices.  

    Wonton soup was fine. Nothing here nor there. http://www.yelp.com/bi...

    Seaweed salad was again fine. Standard. http://www.yelp.com/bi...

    Pan Fried Dumplings were good. Nothing great, but good.  http://www.yelp.com/bi...

    It wasn't very Vegas festy inside. I think maybe if you have a hard core drunk craving for Chinese in your room and are willing to pay more than the usual price, this may be the answer, Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. Too many other cool places in Vegas to experience.

    What will you pay for Asian food when you don't want to leave mandalay bay and you have a hangover?  This is the place!!

    Not bad congee and onion pancakes. Vegetable dish was a little over cooked.

    SLOW SERVICE, and its expensive, which is fine if they could've at least made my food the way asked (extra spicy, extra garlic) instead it was the exact opposite. Did I mention how slow they were?
    It seriously took 10 minutes to see a waiter, we almost walked out. Then the drinks came after the food and the appetizer came with our entrees. Then while waiting on our change the woman decided to sit 2 couples then answer phones, maybe they are understaffed.  I finally had to get up and ask for my change before she continued to seat people!

    We went because our kids love Chinese food. We ordered the lettuce wraps which were the most edible thing we ordered. I didn't know Chinese used pine nuts in their dishes.  We immediately turned away the seafood tom yum kung soup which was absolutely horrendous....cold and they didn't have a ladle....the broth tasted like old seafood and they used ramen noodles that resembled top raman.....we replaced the soup with kung pao chicken.....the only good thing about the dish was the roasted peanuts....they used chili paste, not whole Chiles. They was no pao to this chicken.   I'd noodle past the noodle house and go to PF Changs down the street.

    My husband and I ate at the Noodle Shop twice while we stayed at Mandalay Bay.
    It was 4 pm on Sunday the first time we were there. We were seated immediately and ordered our drinks. We ordered Mongolian Beef ($17.5), Hong-Kong Style Pan-Fried Noodles with Seafood ($18.5), Thai Iced Tea ($5.5), and house sparkling wine ($8).  The food was delicious and the right amount. My Pan-Fried Noodles were flavorful and I enjoyed every bite. My husband enjoyed his Mongolian Beef tremendously too.

    We had a http://restaurant.com coupon for $25 off. Our bill came out to be $37.2. This is not a cheap place, but the food tastes good and it's convenient if you stay at Mandalay Bay.

    We went back for dinner at 8:30 pm on Monday night. Again we were seated immediately. We shared Yang-Chow Fried Rice (with BBQ Pork and Shrimp, $14), and my husband had a Coke ($4).  The food was good and the waitress was attentive. The price of the meal is much friendlier this time.

    Overall it's a solid Chinese restaurant. I took off one star because of the price. We will go back again if we stay at Mandalay Bay.

    Noodle House at the Mandalay Bay.

    Exactly what you'd expect from a Chinese Noodle House.

    Price: Cheap.
    Food: Will satisfy most.
    Servings: More than enough for one, unless you always eat supersized meals.
    Presentation: Nothing fancy, just straight out good food.
    Taste: We've ordered a few of their dishes and no bad words were spoken, well except that their China tea which cost like a mother... The beef tenderloin noodle i had was delicious.
    Wait: It was fast, our food was served in the nick of time after we ordered, like fast food, except the food tasted better than we expected.

    Not a fan of noodle houses though. This place ain't that bad if you're craving for hot soup after getting buzzed.

    Just ate at the Noodle Shop a few hours ago and everything was great! Being Chinese myself, I know what authentic Chinese food is, and this isn't it.  It's comparable to a PF Changs, maybe.  

    I would probably never pay full price to eat here, I had a http://restaurant.com coupon that I used to get $25 off.  We had the sweet and sour chicken and the mongolian beef.  Both plates were solid and tasty.  Portions are just right and respective sauces were good.  

    At the end of the meal, what was supposed to be a $40 meal after taxes and tip, came out to $15.  I felt a little bad since service was great, so I just tipped a bit more.  

    I will probably be back next time I'm in Vegas, but i will be coming armed with a coupon.

    Had dim sum sampler for 2, seaweed salad, BBQ pork noodle soup.
    It was just a sponteneous lunch at Mandaley.
    Price was not cheap either (we paid about $60).  Will go Chinatown next time.

    **Take out Review**
    I hate to go against the grain, but I really enjoyed The Noodle Shop. My husband and I were in need for some comfort food, and for us, that's noodles. We ordered pad thai and Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles and Seafood to go. The staff was helpful and kind, they kept it short and sweet so that we could be on our way. We had to go take care of some business with the concierge and when we got back, our order was waiting for us.
    We took it up to the room and enjoyed our noodles and TV (as God intended). The pad Thai was fantastic, and I am fully aware that it could be because I was starving, but either way, I enjoyed it very much. Mr. R. finished his dish and even had some of mine. I appreciate the Noodle Shop for being different from the other casual fare offered at Mandalay Bay, sometimes you have to take less than desirable noodles in order to get noodles at all.

    We came here one afternoon, after a morning of heavy drinking by the pool. We ordered a fried rice dish and something with duck. The service was very quick, the atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious. It helped sober me up enough for the evening and was definitely the best food quality and portion size to price ratio we found in Vegas.

    The place was almost completely empty while we were there, maybe that's why things were better than other reviewers are reporting, but for whatever reason, I had a very nice experience there and would go back if I were staying at Mandalay Bay again.

    Way too over-priced for a not-so-great bowl of pho. The pho was bland and not worth $16. The duck noodle soup wasn't great either. The duck was on the dry side. I will never coming back!!!

    My husband and I really enjoyed this place.  The soups are a must for a good hangover!  I'm giving it 4 Stars because of the Roasted Duck soup, and the service was friendly. 5 Stars are for the "OH MY GOSH!" places. While good, this wasn't one of those.

     I think the reason people aren't giving this place better reviews is because they are used to their hometown Chinese joint, which I get, and because it's Vegas and it's pricier than their hometown too! LOL.  We loved it!  It tastes like Sam Wo's in SF, CA! Which I LOVE!  My sister ate here as well with us, and we've literally been craving the place, and my sister is SUPER picky with food!  So, there is my opinion!  I love it.

    I should start out by saying that I live in NYC so I have several Chinatowns near me and have high expectations of chinese food.  That being said, the food was good but not great.  The main issue is the food was never hot.  I did go twice but only because I really wanted to try the Seafood Pan fried Noodles. I wasnt thrilled with it.  

    The first day, I had the lunch special of chicken, shrimp and beef with garlic sauce and 2 mini spring rolls (the app should have been served earlier than the main and it was not, so tell them if you want it that way).  That dish was excellent and had it been hot, it would have been stellar.  It came with white rice.  The lunch special is 18.99 and they have about 8 choices of specials; my dish was enough for 2.  Service was slow the first day and quick the second day. My water was refilled constantly and the waiters were very nice as was the Maitre D.  It is a casual restaurant located right off the casino so there is some people watching to be done if you get a table closer to the front.  

    I would recommend the restaurant for the chicken, beef, and shrimp dish but not for the pan fried noodles. I also would be specific and ask for very hot food and apps served first. None of these requests should be needed but if done, this review would have been markedly higher.

    We ordered 3 dishes.
    Crispy Calamari for an appetizer.
    Then, Orange Chicken & Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles w/ Sea Food.
    Crispy Calamari was oily rather than crispy in texture. I did not like the dipping sauce at all, too sweet for me.
    It could have been sweet & sour sauce...try adding the hot sauce.
    Orange Chicken was missing orange flavor. It was strong garlic and soy sauce flavors. Rice was on dry side...
    Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles w/ Sea Food was tasty. It was over $50 just for food...

    This place is honestly not all that bad. The rating for the Noodle Shop is probably low just because A) not everything here is tremendous and B) the prices. I get it. The prices are lofty, but the food is homey and comforting.

    We decided to get the dim sum sampler, the duck noodle soup, the shrimp dumpling noodle soup, and the sichuan.

    The sampler? Probably not worth the $20. You get four different types of dim sum, with 2-3 pieces of each type. Tasty, but it might've been better if it were $10 or so.

    Everything else was very good. The duck in the noodle soup was perfectly cooked, the shrimp dumplings were tasty and plump, and both noodle soups had great broths and noodles. The eggplants were especially delicious.

    Why a three? Though the food was tasty, I JUST found out that http://restaurant.com offered a coupon for the Noodle Shop... SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. Don't make the mistake I made -- retrieve a gift card from http://restaurant.com before you go here!!!

    I liked this place! What better way to nurse your hangover than a big bowl of pho or veggie chow mein? Service was quick  and friendly too.

    Prices were a little steep, but this is on par for all other pricing at any of the restaurants in/near the Mandalay Bay.

    I recommend it if you don't mind spending $20 on noodles.

    Biggest mistake that I made on my recent visit to Vegas was not checking Yelp on this restaurant.

    As most reviewers have noted the food is not good and it is way overpriced.

    Lowlight of our meal.... My daughter order the BBQ pork noodle soup.  It was horrendous; it smelt and tasted like a bad fish market.

    Find any other restaurant.  Don't waste your time or your taste buds.

    Walk away while you can.

    Went to Vegas for a bachelor party and statyed at The Hotel at the Mandalay. After checking in my boy's and I needed a quick fix and wanted something quick and cheap, which we could not find at the hotel. So we ended up at the noodle shop.

    Long story short, the food was okay and we paid  around $11 for effing soup that was just blah. We were still hungry and ordered the combination fried rice which was $12 blah, but for $12 I was expecting a mountain full of rice. Instead we got a speed bump of rice.

    Overall this place was an overall bust, that placed $25 in my pocket. If you can't find anything to eat at the Mandalay that's quick and cheap I recommend walking a little further to the Luxor or go to the Cafe.

    This was a frustrating and not so tasty dining experience.

    We are at Mandalay, and I was overcome with a craving for noodles. The obvious choice (without doing the smart thing and jumping on the 15 and heading to Spring Mountain) was The Noodle Shop.

    We were seated quickly, but it took quite some time for our waiter to take our order. When he arrived, we wanted his suggestions for the best noodles. He recommended a XO Vietnamese noodle with shrimp, the most expensive noodle. My husband warned me that the waiter was just trying to up sell the pricey dish. Regardless, it didn't sound too appealing to me, when our waiter returned, I went with the Singapore curry noodle. I wanted to get tofu instead of shrimp, but our waiter said it would be $2 extra! Sorry, but that is unacceptable. If I am not getting shrimp, there should not be an upcharge for tofu. So, I went with shrimp even though I wasn't planning on eating them.

    My husband ordered the $26 Vietnamese noodle with shrimp. That's right. He ordered the thing he had warned me against. Crazy husband.

    My curry noodles were edible, but over curried (this coming from a die hard curry addict) and they were lacking that seasoned wok flavor.

    My husband's dish was sad. The portion was teeny, and the jumbo shrimp were no larger than the standard shrimp at Red Lobster. The flavor was just eh. He was so disappointed that he called over the manager and told her they should take the dish off the menu (true, but I was still embarrassed!). When he asked why in the world this dish was $26, she said it was the XO. For $26, my husband should have at least gotten tipsy off the noodles. He didn't. I am generally okay with a Strip premium, but this was unacceptable for a pretty casual dining experience with mediocre flavor and sub par service.  

    My visions of a happy, noodle filled belly were squashed. Sorry, Noodle Shop, but there were just too many issues.

    Best Har Gow and Chow Fun!!!

    My boyfriend and I went for dinner while we were in Vegas for a week for a convention and loved it so much that we convinced  our group (6ppl) to go for lunch 2 days later!  It is a perfect casual noodle/Asian cuisine restaurant.  Which is great for a casual experience when you tend to eat such heavy, large meals in Vegas.

    Amazing Har Gow with a bit of expected wait. The chow fun was delicious... Even when I ordered it without onions or bean sprouts. The pad thai was a tad oily so we asked for light oil the 2 time and enjoyed it. Great hot tea.

    The service was a little sub pair ESP for Vegas. The food out-weighed my opinion of this place.

    OK I get what the other Yelpers are talking about.. Yes, this place is over priced, but that's why you do your research and get a coupon on http://restaurant.com! I got my $25 certificate only for $2.. What a steal!

    Went to this place with my bf for lunch and  about 4-5 tables were occupied with convention guests. We promptly got seated at a very private booth, which was nice.

    Pork dumplings- it was actually pork AND shrimp (FYI for those of who are allergic to shrimp) and it was Sooo good! The sauce that came out with the dish went perfect with the dumplings. Mmm
    Shrimp pad thai- it was alright. Not very authentic enough. You can get better pad Thai at local Thai restaurants for sure.
    Grandfather chicken- I didn't know what it was and the server explained that it's just like sweet and sour chicken. It was decent.

    Overall the food was alright. I was going to give 3 stars, but the service upped the par to 4 stars! Our water glasses were never empty, the server checked on the table quite frequently, and they were very quick on their feet.

    I don't know if I'll pay for full price here, but if I can get the coupon again?! Heck yeah.

    Astoundingly bad. We had some sort of chicken dish - it had an overly sweet sauce with way too much soy sauce and only after I was half way through did I realize what was really wrong. The chicken pieces appeared to be the preformed chicken  nuggets you get from any fast food joint smothered in a disgusting sauce. You can get better from the freezer cabinet at Safeway.
    Beef chow mein was tough, greasy and bland.

    EW.....was walking through Mandalay Bay with my BF on our last day in Vegas and saw this place and got really excited. We were both a little hungover and some chow mein and fried rice sounded perfect.

    I SO wish I had checked YELP before dining here. Service was horrible...we were seated right after a couple who looked wasted but were given a great booth and we were given a table in the middle of the dining area...um no

    Me: "Can we PLEASE be moved to a booth?"

    Hostess: "Oh, hmmm..okaayyy...is this better for you" gave us a nice big booth with some big attitude to boot.

    Me: "Yes actually this is PERFECT"

    Server was quick, too quick for not being crowded at all. As if she didn't care and just didnt want to talk to us at all. They also forgot my drink, which just irked me in my hungover state.

    To the food: the Spring Rolls came out about 10 mins after we ordered them and they were mildly warm. To me this equals: They are premade and left out and then poorly reheated...ew.

    I got chicken chow mein...greasy, slimy, gross.
    My BF got pork fried rice...I dont like pork and this pork looked totally uncooked and the rice was not "fried" and barely had any veggies.

    Our server never came back to ask us if we wanted water and since there was so much sodium in the food we were dying for water. Had to practically yell at her across the room because she was darting about and talking with the other servers.

    Bill was about $60 which is fine since we were in Vegas, but NOT for
    the quality of the food or the service.

    With all the good food around in Mandalay Bay, our expectations for Noodle Shop where high. Unfortunately, for the second time, we were disappointed. We tried it last year, and again this year. Their menu is varied and looks good. But the food we ordered was bland.  This time, we had Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup).  We eat lots of Pho in various cities, and this one just wasn't close.

    The only saving grace is they offer a shaved ice, with red beans and coconut milk. Yummy!! For this, we went back a couple times for dessert.  But other than this, we do not recommend this place to our friends.

    Dreadful service. Boring food. Stupid prices.

    On a relatively slow night, I was seated immediately, but it was fifteen minutes before a waiter came to my table and asked "What do you want?"

    "Well, a menu would probably be a good start." I replied.

    He disappeared for another five minutes before dropping off a menu without a word.

    Ten minutes later, same thing; "What do you want?"

    I asked some questions about the food that were answered with only the barest minimum of information.

    Service with a snarl seemed the order of the night.

    I finally settled on the curried noodles and a cold sake. I should note here, that while I believe that there are several sake options, none other than cold/hot were offered to me, and there was no drink menu.

    The dish was like a package of store-bought ramen noodles with just a hint  of curry flavor, but TONS of salt. It also had a few shrimp and some duck bits in it, which was fine for me - but was not mentioned on the menu. Vegetarians beware.

    Sadly, with such a salty dish, I never got a refill on my water, nor on my sake - as a matter of fact, the waiter never visited my table again until he brought the check. He never asked if I wanted anything else - desert, maybe - and I had to beg for another glass of water.

    He then hovered over me while I figured out the bill (almost $40 for ramen and a glass of cheap sake).

    Horrible, horrible, horrible.
    ...AND, I might add, Horrible.

    Don't do it.

    Hmmm The Noodle Shop. Me and the girls wanted something cheap and easy, and we didn't feel like going off the strip. So we went to old relible which is The Noodle Shop. We each order the same thing which was Kung Pao Chicken. (I know lame but hey) I ordered my extra spicy and they did not let me down. I swear we each had so much food but as hungry as we were, it was well worth it. Service was a little off but considering we were not in a hurry and had no where to be, it was quite ok.

    If you are ever in Vegas and staying at the Mandalay Bay, stop over to The Noodle Shop. Yes the reviews are all over the place but you just may be pleasantly surprised.

    Saw that there were some mixed reviews for the place on Yelp but I was staying at the Mandalay and needed some food.  I was a bit disappointed in the Noodle shop.  The staff was a bit brusque and slow at times.  I felt that the service was extremely slow for an afternoon late lunch with a near empty restaurant while several staff members present.  Figured that the authentic service would be a good sign, but alas I was in for a disappointment.

    The food was average chinese food that I could get in Delaware, which if you have read my posts before that is a very low bar.  I ended up getting the chicken lettuce cups as an appetizer and the Hong Kong style noodles with seafood.

    The chicken filling was well made with a nice mild sweetness it.  The water chestnuts were chopped and crisp.  As a difference there was some pine nuts mixed in which was a nice crunch and flavor.  Chicken was moderate, but nothing special.  Disappointingly the dish came with only 3 leaves of lettuce for the dish, much too few.  The other problem was that they served it with ROMAINE lettuce, not much of a cup or able to wrap it up.  Poor choice of lettuce type.

    Hong Kong style noodles were not freshly made, they were standard type thick noodles.  Not exactly pasty but pretty close.  The fish in the seafood was cold and flat tasting with a bit of gristle.  The shrimp was well seasoned and prepared but that was the only highlight of the dish.  Overall the dish was a bit oily and disappointing.

    While I understand that the food would be a bit more expensive because of the location in the casino it was way overpriced considering the quality of the food.  The dishes were of low quality compared to what I would expect at Vegas in a casino.  I avoided this place during the remainder of my trip and would not return.

    The noodle soup I ordered was salty and only had 3 shrimps and a few squids in a so-called seafood Tom yum soup. It was bad and way overpriced. Would never come back

    This was a lovely little place!

    The service was wonderful - very, very friendly waiter.

    Food was really good too. I had sweet and sour chicken which was better than your average American-Chinese stuff.

    The pricing was exactly what I would expect from a similar hotel casual dining restaurant in Vegas - definitely no surprise there.

    I'd definitely stop by again!

    Vegas is expensive, but it doesn't justify the price that the 'Noodle shop' is asking!  I can't quite remember, but I think the pho was like $15...  It's just highway robbery!

    The place has small portion, and below average taste.    One of the dishes we ordered was the House special fried rice.  The waitress told us it has dry scallop, when the fried rice came we didn't see any.  Toward the end of the plate, then someone found like 3 small strings.

    If this place was in Bay area, it would never survived this long  If you must order, the Hong Kong style noodle was decent taste.

    Oddly, for all the negative hype of this place, and the ridiculous price tag (and I'm talking ridiculous - I think we paid the same amount here as we did the Border Grill, and that's a signature restaurant while this one is labeled "casual" by Mandalay Bay), the food was actually pretty tasty.  I think the expense has to do solely with the fact that this is Vegas we're talking about - anywhere people can be bilked to fork over change, whether it be for fois gras or a plate of fried rice, it's going to happen.

    That all being said, my potstickers and chow fun were tasty and came out of the kitchen hot.  I was satisfied and pleasantly surprised.  If you're stuck in Mandalay Bay and are craving asian, this is fine by mid-level standards.

    There aren't that many places open for lunch at Mandalay, so I was surprised that this place wasn't more crowded.  There is nothing special about this place, but just a quick place to drop in and get something to eat.  The orange chicken was decent, but nothing worth coming back for.

    The food is way overpriced for the quality. We had spring rolls-more greasy than most and soggy in the middle. My pad thai tasted nothing like pad thai-just grease and a cheap sauce, no flavor. My husband had the house fried rice and it was steamed rice with a few veggies and cold shrimp. He had a coffee and I had green tea. Our bill was $60. Nothing was good. We will never eat there again.

    Not as bad as 2 stars, but not great either.  I'd say it is passable.  Everything is just ok, not great, but not bad either.

    Wow really?

    I was way too hungover to check yelp before coming here.  That's the last time I make that mistake.  It was way overpriced and flavorless.  Our group had the wonton soup with noodles.  The broth was like boiled water.  I had the lunch special with mongolian beef and hot and sour soup.  Some special at almost 20 bucks.  Not much beef.  Also there were flies in the restaurant.  I could accept that at a hole in the wall joint not a place inside mandalay.

    PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!

    Ok spot. Way too pricey considering many many many many other asian hybrid places do it better.
