Lil Dumplings Noodle Bar

The taste was decent but the noodles did not feel very ramen-y. I need to come back and try again, I ate it bc I was starving but my friend decided not to finish hers. Definitely more fast service than authentic

My husband and I visited Lil Dumplings Noodle Bar last month! I can’t remember the name of the noodles specifically, but they were like a chili oil kind. The dumplings were amazing! I thought the team member working was professional and courteous. The location is perfect in The Garage Food Hall! I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you, Lil Dumplings Noodle Bar!

This is the second time I’ve had to deal with this one ☝🏾 specific person I’m guessing is the chef . But his or her attitude sucks customer service is completely horrible. I asked for my meal to be prepared to go. I leave to to to the juice bar to get my smoothie, I come back my meal is completely uncovered . There wasn’t a top on it I then asked for a top he or she pointed at the top and top me they were right infront of me . I noticed that the broth wasn’t in my meal last time for me to add To my meal once I got to destination. Well the broth was added to my meal so the food would be soggy or make mess in my car luckily I tied the bag correctly which I had to bag my self . All the broth ended up in my bag do to someone actually driving on the wrong side of the road and I had to come to a complete stop . So think if they had better employees preparing the meals with better customer I would recommend , but front this experience would not recommend this place I have been to better places in the city and I would suggest paying more for better service this was my second experience I’ve had I will not be returning until I notice a different person at the front desk . The person serving is not a good idea for that particular business I wonder why I don’t see people crowded like the other places I eat there in the garage .

They have absolutely the best dumplings in whole of Indy. Every time I go to the garage it’s specifically to get the dumplings and I don’t think that’ll change anytime soon. The chilli crunch noodles are my second favorite. Can’t wait to go back. The seating is sometimes hard to find since the garage food hall is almost always packed. But definitely a place to try!

I regret I didn't order more. I got the buns and they were a must try, so upset I never had any of the noodles they are known for! The staff was very friendly!

I feel like I ate a Ib sodium after this. The dish is way to too salty than it need to be. Please don’t give out the wrong perception of Chinese food. Chinese food is a balance of taste and colors. I strongly recommend the chief to experience authentic Shanghai dish before coming up with this “Dam Dam” noodle.

Like other reviews have mentioned (if only we had checked before coming here!), the food is *extremely* salty. We got the Chili Crunch Noodles and the Cold Udon Noodles, and could barely finish them because of the overwhelming saltiness. I also agree that the portion sizes are relatively small - I actually appreciate when portions are reasonable, but then I also expect to pay less. $16 for a small bowl of noodles is a lot, especially when the quality isn't great. Pretty disappointed overall, I wanted to like this place. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like they are listening to the years of feedback about the saltiness, so we can't justify ever giving it a second chance.
