This place is a solid five stars for the really delicious noodles and wontons in chili oil. You get nice touches as well, like lemon in the water. Order online and pay online with a QR code and the food appears pretty fast. I'm definitely coming back if I want spicy Chongqing style noodles

Ordered the house special Mala Beef Soup. It comes mildly spicy, which was perfect. Generous amount of tasty beef. Broth had a deep, rich flavor. I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

The food was good, if the beef bone was more tender would’ve been better.We seated as a group of four and apparently they missed out on two of my friends order and they ended up waiting for 40 mins for food to come.Service is limited, you order through the website but this site is glitchy. Order doesn’t reflect in really time on my phone when others in the same party added orders.This is a small place, seating is tight. Carry light when you dine at this place.

Wonton with chicken broth:Wonton didn’t really taste fresh. The soup tasted kinda like water. Not a lot of flavor.Noodles with rib (forgot name):Not a lot of meat. They put a lot of noodles to make up for it. Soup was very oily.Beef stew with noodles:Also not a lot of meat. Soup very oily.On the bottom is all noodles. They put all the garnish and meat on top.Their lemon water wasn’t also the best. Tasted like it was sitting out for a while and the water tasted like bad tap water.The place wasn’t very clean. There were stains on the wall next to the table. Atmosphere was just meh. Place looks pretty run down.Service was okay. The lady was nice.Overall not bad, just wouldn’t come here again. Total was $57.

Tl;dr - their signature beef stew is pretty solid. If you have a relatively high spice tolerance, don't shy away from getting a higher spice level. Those with nut allergies should be aware that some soups have peanuts in them. On my way down from mission peak, I was thinking of what to eat as a reward. TBNS sounded so amazing in that moment and I'm glad I found this spot at the top of my Yelp search. Service was friendly and prompt. I'm not sure if she was the owner, but someone came up to me and explained their spice levels. What I got: - Signature beef stew: this came with thin spaghetti-like noodles, bok choy, and beef chunks. I got this as medium spicy. The flavor was all around decent but I think I could have gotten this spicier by one or two more levels. - Smashed cucumber salad (small size): for the portion this was well worth the $4.50. I'm glad I got this to cut into the richness of the soup. I could have done without the bell peppers but this was delicious. Overall would like to come back to try their other noodle dishes!

It's a great little noodle shop. The decoration is more American-style, but you can still taste the essence of the noodles. The best thing is that the boss is so considerate. When he saw the white clothes we were wearing, he gave us two bellybands! Fortunately, I was wearing a bellyband and my clothes were not dirty!

Julie's Noodle opened where Little by Little once was. Decor basically the same, i.e. nada. Didn't see any movies either. Offerings: Special Noodle Soup, Cold dishes, add ons, drinks. Greeted quickly upon entry. Assigned a table. Ordering by QR was simple though prolonged by many questions. Leading me unintentionally to not placing my order. Waitress kindly ordered for me on the tablet. Music: Chinese folk vocals. Seating: 12ish tables Eats: Hot & Sour Rice Noodle with Ground Pork (14.50) Slightly spicy: didn't know it was mala not szechwan spicy. -broth flava a nuanced mix of sour (vinegar) & chilies. not black pepper). Slightly spicy actually mild, a characteristic of mala, not szechwan chilis..fab taste. -noodles were transparent (glassy) made of mung beans. Nice slurpiness. Got soggy later in transit. -also in broth-bok choy, chilis, ground pork.. 4.5 unique taste. Superbly executed. Worthy.... Greeting upon departure: man man jow (walk slowly/be careful) Xian nian kuai le (New Year Happiness!) -
Great service and food!
