Noodle Nest 和悦 (formally Dun Huang)

I preface this review by saying I am in no way in tune with Chinese cuisine and the different regional offerings. That said, noodles were delicious. Cold noodles is a new concept for me and wouldn’t order again. Exotic protein options including intestines, my wife had a hard time eating with me because the menu didn’t have English descriptors and what she did understand was for acquired tastes. Try it out and be your own judge, nothing wrong with this place.

A must-visit for noodle lovers！ The Lamb Skewers perfectly spiced, and Suo Yi Cucumber crisp and refreshing. Chicken Wonton Soup is comforting, and Sweet Rice Wine Balls make a perfect sweet finish.

Had Dun Huang once in Flushing, NYC. This is my second time, but in a totally different city! The food taste is good and service is fine too. We ordered beef noodles, big plate chicken and lamb skewers. They are delicious and flavorful. But for noodles, my advice is that do not go for anything above level 3 wrt the thickness. Level 4 韭叶 will not be like round shaped and it is much less to the tooth (having strength) compared to a regular thickness one (level 2 )or level 3 (二细）. Originally, I would like to give 4 stars review at least. But!!! The food here has so much MSG! You can tell that by taking a little sip of the soup. My whole family was aware of this, and did not drink the noodle soup, but all of us still got up at midnight to seek for water! OMG! This is crazy. Can you please put less MSG into your food?????? At least you can put more salt instead , so customer can know they are taking how much sodium.

This place is SO GOOD! My friend and I settled on this place after a 20-minute long debate of not knowing what to get (we were both insanely hungry) and once we showed up, we were seated pretty quickly for a Sunday night and actually received our food within 5 minutes of placing our order. We got the spicy original lanzhou noodles, stir-fried green beans, lamb rou jia mo, and the sticky rice siu mai. The noodles were sooo deliciously chewy and the broth was really flavorful. You can tell the noodles are made fresh in-house because of their phenomenal texture and EXTREME length (my friend and I were struggling to portion the noodles because the noodles were SO long- great problem to have imo). I lived in China for 7 years, and these noodles actually tasted so authentic I felt like I was back in China getting lunch with my mom. The green beans were also really good and had a soft bite and satisfying texture. Near the end of our meal, though, I think my hunger wore off and I realized the beans were quite salty. I like my food quite flavorful/salty so I didn't mind it too much, but it is something to note. The braised lamb in the rou jia mo was pretty juicy, and the bread was toasted to a strong crunch. It was seasoned slightly different to the ones I get in China (in particular the chili oil used had a slightly different flavor profile) but it was still pretty good. Not sure if I would order it again, but it would definitely satiate an average rou jia mo craving. The sticky rice siu mai was also really good. I grew up eating these in China and the flavor profile was really authentic. The wrapper used had a nice bite/chew to it, and the sticky rice had a well-rounded, balanced flavor. I'm still thinking about this meal, and I'll definitely be back! Especially for the noodles. Don't discredit this place just because they're at DJ!

When you see this place from the outside and inside, it looks clean and nice, but.... eat before you go to the restroom. In fact, no need to go wash your hands (: After seeing what the female restroom looked (and smelled) like, I almost gave up on our order, but I pushed through. Unfortunately, we won't be back. We walked around the mall to decide where and what we wanted to have for lunch and came back to Dun Huang for the photos on their menu. We ordered the fried noodles with eggs and veggies and lamb skewer. The food was tasty and service was good.
