Review of Noodle Loft
4

I really like this place. The decor is dark and modern, the service is prompt and the noodles are really good. They make all their noodles right in front of you and the best one is the knife cut variant. I always get them with beef, but you can also order the egg/tomato, vinegar, fried pork sauce or fried pork pieces to go with your noodles. Any of the simple preparations (knife cut, longevity, cat ear) are just 12 kuai a piece--its such a great deal! A couple of my friends have ordered the beef noodle soup (20-something kuai) and they were pretty impressed. The rest of the food is not bad, but alittle oily. I've have the sweet and sour meat balls (savory-yummy), sauteed cabbage with vermicelli (oily) and the lamb and greem onions (standard). One thing I would recommend against, what everyone else says to get, is the shotgun shell shaped noodles. They are pretty in the steamer, but bland...and they are served with tomato/egg sauce, vinegar and beef stock on the side. Its really not that impressive. Besides that slight hiccup, plus the oil factor in the fried dishes, I give this place 4 stars, but I think its one of the best noodle joints in Beijing.
