Yu Noodles

★ 4.3 · 37 reviews Washington, D.C. Opened June 2026

Chongqing noodles cross the district line

Yu Noodles built its following in Rockville and finally opened inside the district in June 2026, on 5th Street NW.

Scallion oil noodles, soup dumplings, beef brisket, ordered at a counter. Bad news for anyone downtown who spent Sunday meal-prepping office lunches.

    Highly recommend! The noodles are perfectly chewy and tossed in a rich, spicy chili oil that just explodes with flavor. The broth is incredibly savory and not too greasy. If you love authentic noodles, this is an absolute must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Food is bangin. Lots of delicious, unique options. I’ve been here several times and am glad they are in the neighborhood. The AC situation is not a big deal if you aren’t a huge baby about it. They just opened and are obviously going to figure that out.

    We ordered the rainbow soup dumplings, spicy oil wontons, sour and spicy cold noodles with beef, and the fire spicy noodles with fish egg. I LOVED the wontons and the spicy cold noodles with beef. Will definitely order it again. It’s a new favorite. The spice level was perfect! The fire spicy noodles were a bit too spicy for our palate. Also, the other noodles were just so good and these were just meh. The rainbow soup dumplings were great. My favorite was the beef (black) dumpling. My partner’s favorite was the pink one. Like other reviews mention, the AC doesn’t seem to work but we went on a nice day and the fans were fine! The employees were kind and helpful. Overall, nice addition to the neighborhood. Definitely a new regular spot.

    I loved the food. The pork soup dumplings were amazing (must have), as was the Sichuan ramen. Extra points for being able to adapt spicy dishes to milder options, this was especially important to me since I’m not a big fan of spicy food.

    Friendly service & fantastic options! Super cool new 2d interior. I got the chili wontons and pan fried chive/pork dumplings to go. Very solid and will order again. - new regular!
