Wow, can't believe this is not rated more highly. Had dinner here ordered dumplings and noodle soup. Delicious! Noodles hand made on site. All our group were satisfied. Big servings! Good simple restaurant and affordable.
Well, the food is alright.. my bf and I quite like the taste and the fact that it is not expensive relative to the amount that we get.. so I give 3.5 :) but the service could have been improved:
1) the waiters do not greet the guests properly nor offering drinks or any kinds of services normally found in restaurants esp this is not a fast food restaurant
2) the drinks are self-served.. which is a bit weird since this is supposed to be a full-service restaurant, not fastfood type
3) one of the male waiters play with phone while serving.. well this is a small thing but it shows that they are not trained well
It's a busy Chinese fast food restaurant, alway crowds. The noodle is firm and dumpling skin is firm as well. They are all very nice. I like to order the seaweed and dry bean curd, they are only 1 or 2 dollars per dish. The beef stir fry noodle is a bit oily , but tasty. It's a good place for quick meals.
There are two Noodle Kingdoms in the city, but did you know that there is now one at Box Hill? There is and we talk about our visit there. Noodle Kingdom is on Station st , right around the corner from the station. Here it was busy on a Saturday night until around 7:30pm and then it became quiet. It is known for their handmade noodles and dumplings. They are also known for their big serves. I still remember reading in the paper about the problems that the Russell store had with mice and all. But here there is no such thing, except for the longish wait and staff who don't understand English all too well.
Amazing value for money! Specialty is definitely their noodles (beef brisket and lanzhou beef mmm) which are hand made! Their pumpkin cake is deliciously chewy! Their dumplings are average (skin is a bit thick but still good!!) I come here religiously, so not sure why they get such a bad rap
Cheap food. Massive serving. Quick service. We had dumplings and noodles and both didn't disappoint. Extensive menu, lots to choose from. Not bad for a quick winter dinner.
Good Value for money. We went there recently, and made the mistake of ordering 2 main courses and 2 entrees, as the sheer volume was way too much, but we managed to finish it
You get the typical Asian budget priced service, sometimes a pout, sometimes a smile, sometimes a "what are you doing here?" look.
We ordered 2 dumplings and 2 noodle dishes. The dumplings were good, the first noodle dish was good, the second one being the more expensive seafood fried noodles wasnt all that great. No real taste, quite oily. Overall it was great bang for buck and would recommend it
Big serves, cheap, tasty food, fast service, just great
I have been here many times after finishing work, and always have had the dumplings and noodle
Soups!! I love noodle kingdom!!

It's a noodle shop, not gourmet. I had a job interview in the Box Hill environs that went well, so I reckoned I'd treat myself to lunch there. When in Box Hill, one should eat Chinese, eh? The first time I lived in Melbourne, I heard so much talk of how Chinese Box Hill has become. But after living in British Columbia, Canada, and experiencing the city of Richmond there (a satellite town to Vancouver) I have to say Box Hill is not nearly as Asian-dominated as other places in the English ex-Empire.
Noodle Kingdom had a descriptive menu in the window, prices were cheap, and it appeared clean inside. I like it when I'm the only gweilo dining in a place, as I was here. It's true that the waitstaff were not gushy-friendly and asking how my mum's arthritis is doing, but I go for the food, not to be a guest on "Oprah." My food was served quickly. I've always gotten fast service in Chinese restos. Maybe they want to get my pasty face out of there in a hurry.
I ordered "Beef and Veg on top of Hand Made Broad Noodle with Spicy Oil." That's a mouthful of a name. It was also a mouthful of a dish for $9.80. There was an adequate amount of fried beef strips, properly cooked (i.e. not over-boiled) green beans and onions, shredded zucchini, cucumber and carrot -- healthy stuff. The Shanghai-style noodles were OK, a bit of chewiness to them, but I had better in Vancouver, where the noodle culture is fanatical. The menu showed one red chile pepper by this dish, and it had enough heat that I only had to add a little oil from the Szechuan pepper container. The only clinker was the pile of diced tinned garlic bits that was dumped in the middle of the dish. They had an chemical-ly taste that overwhelmed a lot of the other flavours until I stirred them around to dilute the effect. And the four vegetarian spring rolls I had as an appy must have come from a frozen food service pack. They were deep-fried perfectly, but had little flavour. Not worth the $4 that item cost.
Quite Fresh. Noodles are fresh and hand made, I've been here a few times quite like the noodle and soup dishes, dumplings in soup also quite nice.
Decor's a bit nicer than most other nearby too... would definitely recommend.
Our family came here after a long night. The food was comforting and service was polite and quick :)
We loved the cold appetisers that were quite cheap in price; meaning we could order a lot more variety.
Were we at a different restaurant? Our experience was fine. I had the Schezuan Pork Noodle Soup. Initially i thought the stock was a little mild, but when the intensely flavoured toppings were mixed it it was just right. The fresh noodles were very nice indeed. My son had sweet and sour fish on rice. He liked that too.
The service was fine and the serving sizes generous. We were in and out very satisfied in 40 mins.
Good service, massive meals (one serve would feed three), very limited vegetarian options.
Great experience - surprised at the other reviews!. My husband and I went there on a Fri night, food was great, we shared a noodle dish and some dumplings. The Szechan noodle dish we had was especially good and kinda cool seeing the noodles being hand made in the window. We'll definitely be going back. Cheap, good and cheerful!
Friendly service! fresh food, big serve!!!
Handmade noodles were nice but forget the dumplings. Had the authentic Lanzhou hand made noodles, which tasted quite nice and noodles were fresh and tough like what I would expect from hand made noodles. Forget the snacks though. I had the chicken pan fried dumplings and it was sooo salty, and not crispy. I think they are recooked. The chicken filling looked a bit red like it was not properly cooked. The vegetarian spring rolls were large but again very very salty. I also had the vegetarian and mushroom steamed buns which were tasteless. Seems like the snacks are either extremely salty or tasteless. Noodles were nice though and waitresses were very friendly and polite for an Asian joint.
Friendly staff. We went here for an all-you-can-eat deal, and was more than satisfied! The dumplings were larger than normal but they tasted great. The only downside was the time the dishes took to come out.
I loved it. The dumplings were so tasty and the sizzling plate are highly recommended. Very fresh and the staff were very friendly
Soooo big!! Great taste!!! Fresh noodle and dumpling!! U can see the chef is making the Nnooddllee
Got a 'scoopon' for all you can eat from their snack menu. Dumplings super filling. Only managed to have 6 dishes, one of which was donuts for my daughter. Service was ok: had to remind the waiters for everything! Several times. They were just young men in a busy resturant. Would like to try the other food not on the scoopon menu...
Recommend for casual dinning. The dumpling in spicy soup is great
I ve tried many lanzhou ramen, including the big franchise that has stores in some shopping centres. But this, is something else! Could smell the soup fragrance infused the place when I was waiting for my dish. And it is the BEST Lanzhou ramen I have ever had! The soup was soooo tasty and fragranced. The handmade noodles were soooo soft! And the size is big enough for two. My partner had a stir fried noodle dish, and it was really nice, too! Thank you, noodle kingdom! Please keep up the quality because we will definitely come back!
Super tasty fresh hand made noodles. Noodles had a lovely firm and chewy texture. Above average service (for a Chinese restaurant in Box Hill). Recommended.
Amazing! Me and my family go there almost every week and it is superb. The dumplings are delicious and the noodles are top notch. This is a great cheap eat and it is worth your while as it is great value and really cheap. I would definitely recommend Noodle kingdom to EVERYONE as I believe it is the BEST Chinese restaurant in all of Melbourne. Make sure to order the Fried Pork dumplings (a personal favourite) as they will knock your socks off. So Noodle kingdom is a must go for all Chinese cuisine in Melbourne.
Cheap and quick eat. They hand pull the noodles in front of you and lots of food for your dollar. Highly recommend to anyone in the area who wants a nice delicious bowl of noodles or stir fry.
Authentic Chinese food. All made fresh on site. Noodles are made out front of restaurant by skilled workers. Recommend the beef dumplings. So good.
