Szechuan Noodle Bowl

Hidden gem in International District. This was recommended by one of my friends. After hearing about how awesome the noodle soup bowls and dumplings were, I had high expectations. They were definitely surpassed! The menu is rather small, however, it was enough. I was surprised to see each of the dumpling orders came in 10 counts and it only cost $6.50 for all 10! These dumplings were also very big!! We ordered an order of pork dumplings and an order of vegetable/tofu dumplings.... I liked the pork better. My friend and I also shared a bowl of won ton noodle soup. Delicious! Big noodles, good won tons... wished it had a bit more flavor. Great value and generous portions!…

Citysearch Editorial Review. Szechuan Noodle Bowl is one of those holy grails of the foodie community: a tiny restaurant in which you can get amazing and authentic dishes at dirt-cheap prices without any of the frills. The low sign above the door succinctly states the restaurant’s name, and nothing more. The menu is small and mostly consists of the title dish: Szechuan Noodle Bowl. Entering this eight-table establishment, you realize what a tiny operation this is, but it makes the food no less good. The service is not exactly speedy—it’s easy to keep yourself entertained watching the elderly ladies in the back painstakingly shaping each and every dumpling by hand. The dumpling skins, as well as the noodles, really show off the restaurant's skill with dough. Slightly thick, but with the perfect amount of chew, these are a treasure worth going out of your way for.…

Great Value and Food. I think it would be hard to find a better value in the International Distircit. I think they have the best dumplings and green onion pancake in the International District. The green onion pancake is crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. Its fun to watch them make the handmade dumplings at the table by the fridge. It is the type of place that if you run into a friend here you know they must have good tastse in food.…
