Not Just Noodle: Authentic Asian Fusion, Handcrafted Noodles, and Flavorful Dumplings

We visited this place after a review on Instagram posted by others. So we would like to give it a try. And wow ... they are not wrong. The food is all delicious. We happened to be in the Detroit and Madison Heights area for a visit in late January 2025. We ordered: Mini Soupy Bun (with pork and shrimp filling), Pan Fried Scallion Pancakes, Beef Tripes, Egg Fried Rice, Signature Beef Handmade Pull Noodles, and Seafood Stir Fried Handmade Noodles. And all are delicious!!! We will surely be going back in the future to try other menu items.

The handpulled noodles were good and fun to watch. I had the house soup which was good. We ordered the pork bun too. The pork bun was big but also very fatty. Between two of us, we couldn't stomach finishing it because of the fat (and I love pork and crispy fat) There were three people and two robots working. Two cooks, one front of house person and two robots. Every table was seated or needed to be cleaned. Despite being shorthanded, the food came out fast and hot. For the price, it was a good fast meal.

The marinated chicken stir fry was OUTSTANDING!!! It really impressed us! I also enjoyed the shrimp fried rice (perfect flavor) and the turkey shrimp potstickers, which we got pan-fried. So good!! The scallion pancakes were decent too but I personally like the ones at TJ’s Dumplings better. Overall this was an excellent experience and I’d recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for this cuisine.

I cannot begin to express how much I loved the food here. I went there the other day and ohhhh my lordy. The pork and chive dumplings are absolutely amazing... like they ruined all other dumplings good lol. I can highly recommend any of the handmade noodle dishes. The only thing that stopped me was a full stomach. I will absolutely be going back. I'm sad it took me so long to find this place haha. Portions and prices are more than reasonable as well

The bite of these handmade noodles was perfect! We loved the shredded potato salad very similar to what we ate in Kunming. The mapo tofu, cumin beef stir fried noodle, signature beef soup noodle and the beef rolling pie were all favorites! Great portions and prices!

I had been craving soup dumplings for weeks, and finally decided to search for some while I was in the area. And this place came up, and I’m so glad we chose to go here. I got the crab soup dumpling and the pork soup dumplings. My cousin got the beef rolling pie, and we were not disappointed! Although I couldn’t tell which were the pork or crab dumplings, but I honestly didn’t even care because they were both sooo flavorful and fresh, each having their own taste. And the beef rolling pie was INSANELY delicious! The beef was very tender, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The veggies in the rolling pie were cut excellently, again fresh and I could taste each veggie individually and they complimented the saucy beef, would definitely recommend trying it with the chili oil and or sriracha for added spice! I will be returning next time I’m in the area. The atmosphere was very nice as well, there wasn’t anyone else in the entire restaurant, not sure if it was because of the time we went (Monday evening) but I definitely hope they’re getting the business they deserve!

Not Just Noodle delivers truly authentic Chinese food. The kitchen is run by cooks from southern China, and you can taste that regional influence in every dish. Flavors lean slightly to the sweeter side for me personally, but that’s true to their roots and may be exactly what others enjoy. Portions are generous, service is straightforward, and it’s refreshing to find a place that feels closer to home-style cooking rather than Americanized takes. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for real Chinese flavors in the area.

Fairly priced, authentic Chinese food and great service. We went on a Friday night around 6 and were seated immediately. We ordered mostly noodle dishes this time, but on a previous visit, the other dishes were good too. We were attended to quickly and the food came out within 5 minutes. The signature beef noodles were very good and flavorful, with a good amount of meat. The seafood noodle also came with a lot of shrimp, and the broth was flavorful. The pork & shrimp dumpling and wonton soups were delicious as well. The beef brisket noodles were also good. All of the noodle dishes had a rich but not too greasy broth and came with a good amount of hand pulled noodles. However, pork soup dumplings were a little lacking. The wrapping was quite thick and didn’t have a lot of soup inside. Overall, a good restaurant for quick, tasty, and well priced Chinese food.
