Monkey King Noodle Co. brings the taste of legitimate Northern Chinese street food, as treasured by our own experiences eating in the night markets of China and Taiwan.
Back when in the old days in Taiwan, noodle makers were considered blue-collar workers. It was a family tradition to pass down the trade from father to son, son to grandson. But this back-breaking work wasn’t an enviable job.
Now, in today’s age of fancy technology, noodle makers are hard to find, especially when a machine can easily churn out chewy strands faster than humanly possible. That’s why we have decided to do everything old school.
Andrew Chen, one of the owners and chief noodle maker, makes everything from scratch. He’s become a semi-superstar for his craft.
Chen’s restaurants focus on street food — the dishes he lusted for after a night of drinking in Taipei...and so, the "hipster Chinese food" cult begin in a small stand in Deep Ellum to the now 3 locations and counting.
"The best bowls of noodles come with a superpower: Once you dive in, slurping up good sauces and springy and tender noodles..."
"I could eat that spicy beef noodle soup every day for the rest of my life. As long as Monkey King Noodle Co. is open, I’m happy."
"It's hard to go wrong with Monkey King Noodle Company. The noodles here are hand-pulled and everything from the cold beef..."
In these difficult times, it's good to know that one can get all the experience of an upscale airport food court without having to travel.
Amazing food and drinks. Great place to bring the family and everyone gets to choose what they can eat. From pulpo tacos at revólver taco to brisket fried rice at Monkey king noodle co.
Perfect late night date! The atmosphere was beautiful, nice patio views. The service was exceptional, our server was polite and attentive! Not to mention the food was amazing, excellent presentation...
This spot is still new but definitely worth checking out. They offer plenty to pick from with new spots joining throughout the rest of the year. The inside is nice and cool with a modern feel...
