“ I've been out of town for work for a month now and as my first night in my own neighborhood I couldn't resist the urge to visit Grandma noodle! Last time I was here she said I HAD to try something new because I kept ordering my bibimbap, honestly because if it ain't broke don't fix it! Tonight I was on my own for dinner and when she asked what I wanted I simply said surprise me! Boy was I surprised! She made me chicken and rice, sounds simple enough but let me tell you this was not your ordinary chicken it was fried in a special sauce that was quite literally finger licking good! The proof is in the pictures! I was trying to hard not to eat it with my hands, but honestly it was so good I caved in and just enjoyed every bit of it! Then the rice on the plate was almost crunchy rice which is my favorite! But the real surprise was the pickled cabbage?! I LOVE cabbage but this was a whole new experience! I'm in love! I am grateful for the adventurous spirit I have with food because I would have never just ordered this on my own! Apparently it's number 28 on the menu but fried! She also gave me homemade chicken broth which actually input my rice in the chicken broth lol and it was amazing! Next time I hear I'm supposed to try the goat, lol we shall see cause I might order this a couple times before I'm done with it! Yall should come check this place out, yes ownership has changed but she's still amazing and worth the time of day! Come try it for yourselves before you write them off! Also IF you have any issues with the food tell her she WILL make it right! ”
“ My mentor and I checked out Grandma Noodle in Houston. It's a mom and pop Korean restaurant that's actually run by grandmas. They also have a viet lady who works there too and have a few Vietnamese items that you can order. My mentor got the jjajangmyun (noodle with bean sauce) and I got the haemool son kalgooksoo(hand cut noodle with seafood) we also got the gyeranmali (rolled fried egg) haemoolpajeon (seafood pancake). The kalgooksoo had a really hearty broth and is loaded with noodles and seafood. It had shrimp, mussels, squid, and scallop in it. I love the stewed soft cucumbers that are in it too. This is a really good soup for whenever you're sick and need a pick me up. The jjajangmyun has a thick bean sauce that is savory with a little sweetness. It has a unique taste and texture. These go really well with the yellow radish banchan that they give you. The egg had some ingredients mixed in. It's basically like a big somewhat stuffed omelet. The seafood pancake was pretty big for the price. It's somewhat crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside and comes with a soy sauce dip. Both of them were pretty solid. It's not Dallas Korean food but the food here is pretty solid ”
“ A GOLDEN hole in the wall! Felt like your at your grandmas house & the staff here are so sweet and attentive! Everything from the banchan to the entrees are soooooo delicious. I will most definitely be back to try the rest of the menu ”
“ Definitely Grandma's cooking! We were greeted by a young man who is the owner's grandson. He set up our table with a paper placemat and eating utensils. After customers leave, he would help clean the tables. (He didn't serve any food or alcohol for the Yelp Karens out there, lol.) Lunch: Hot Chicken w/ Cheese- Tastes like chicken topped with cheese. Definitely not spicy, and I'm not mad at it because I can't eat super spicy foods. Grilled Mackerel- For the price and portion, worth it. Mackerel is naturally salty and it needed some sort of sauce to help curb the saltiness. I enjoyed the balance of the banchan dishes. There was spinach, sprouts, radishes and kimchi. To end the meal, they gave complimentary Yakult drinks. This is a no frills type of place. The interior is kept clean and simply adorned with vibrant green plants. I can't wait to return and try other dishes! ”
“ Solid spot for Korean food!! Loved their seafood pancake and cheesy tteokbokki! So good! Everything came to the table at the same time and was piping hot. Had a good time here! Only wished we got some sort of noodles because the place is called grandma noodle. Next time foshoooo ”
“ One of the best hole in the wall (literally) places I've tried in Houston's "Koreatown". Grandma Noodle is quite hard to spot and it sits inside a somewhat run down building next to a gas station. The open light sign in the window will guide you to the right door. Once inside, prepare to experience some wonderful home cooked authentic Korean food that will leave your hearts and bellies full! On a Monday night, the place was pretty empty with only one other elderly couple dining in. We ordered spicy rice cakes, hand cut noodles with seafood, and dough flake soup with potato, which was recommended over the one with kimchi. Whatever season it may be, despite Houston's hot a muggy weather at this time of year, this is the ultimate comfort food. The seafood noodle soup was delicious and there was a generous assortment of seafood inside including shrimp, mussels, imitation crab, and mini octopus. The potato dough flake soup was amazing as well. As for the spicy rice cakes, we requested for less spicy to be kinder to our aging stomachs, which they accommodated well. The side dishes were excellent and they were very generous with them. Finally, they gave us each a complementary yakult yogurt drink to conclude a truly wonderful dining experience! Tldr; don't sleep on Grandma Noodle - it's spectacular! ”
“ This restaurant is literally run by Korean grandma's and it was honestly such an adorable experience. My partner and I came in on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but thankfully, they cleaned a table right as we walked in and we were seated pretty quickly. The Banchan (vegetable side dishes) has pickled radish, cucumbers, fishcakes, and kimchi. Out of all the side dishes, we enjoyed the kimchi the most! As for the order, we got the Haemul Sundubu Jigae (Seafood Kimchi Stew), JiaJang Myun (Noodle with Bean Sauce), Osam BulGoGi (Spicy Pork and Squid). - The Haemul Sundubu Jigae was okay. The tofu was good and there were plenty of veggies and generic seafood mixes but the soup itself was a little bland compared to what I usually get from other Korean restaurants. I personally wouldn't order this again if I were to visit - The JiaJang Myun was also just okay. This dish typically has bits and pieces of pork but this one only had mushrooms, zucchini, and onions. I personally would also skip this one too. - The Osam BulGoGi was our favorite. The flavor was great, the dish had lots of squid, pork, celery, cabbage, and other veggies. The seasoning was great and made the dish savory and delicious. It is more on the expensive side (25.99) but the portion is big and sharable. - At the end of every meal (when they give us the check), it comes with a Yakult (a classic probiotic drink) which I absolutely loved Warning: it does take a while when it gets busy so if you're in a hurry, this might not be the spot for you (our dining experience was ~1.5 hours). Overall, the dishes were okay but I appreciate the staff members for working so hard on a busy night and providing the best service they possibly can. ”
