text: China Magic Noodle House is a tough one to rate. I would like to give it a 3.5, but couldn't really give it 4 stars. Please read below to understand why because truly their food is awesome!\n\nLet's start with the BAD. Service here is not only bad but tricky. If you walk in and more people walk in after you, you need to keep track of where you were in line to get seated properly and you can't be afraid to let them know you're next to be seated. Also don't try and seat yourself even if you see an available clean table. I watched another couple get scolded for that. They only have roughly 15 tables so if you go during a busy time expect to wait. Otherwise go at an off time like 2pm or 8pm and you'll be seated faster. Once you have a table, regardless if you were sat before another customer, you may not get to order your food before them as you would at another restaurant. To help get your order placed quickly once you've figured out what you want close your menus and start making eye contact with the people running the show. Next, if you order an appetizer do not expect to get it prior to your main dish. The first time we came here we ordered egg rolls, steamed dumplings, and two noodle dishes. The first item to make it to our table was my noodle dish, next came the dumplings, after that came my hubby's dish and lastly we received our egg rolls. So keep that in mind! Also they don't ever seem to ask if you want anything to drink so we always accept the water they bring and have yet to have any other type of drink. It always seems to be the same two guys that take care of all the tables so if you need something you really have to grab their attention. I'm not an overly assertive person and usually at restaurants I'll wait for a server to ask how I'm doing before asking for something but here they don't check on anyone so you literally need to make eye contact and maybe even give a little wave in order to have them come by. Once you're done with your food, again, you need to get their attention to get your check and some to-go boxes for your left overs. All of this is why I am giving the lower rating.\n\nThe GOOD: Truly the food is fantastic! Every table gets a small plate with vinegar Chinese radish root shavings and boiled vinegar peanuts. If you've never had them give them a try! We are completely in LOVE with the egg rolls. They're extremely flavorful, very large, and come out piping hot. The steamed dumplings are also big and quite tasty. I would like to try their fried ones at some point. The first time we came here I had the noodles with beef and lemon and my hubby had their stir fried chicken noodle dish, both were tasty. Since then we have tried their noodle soup dishes and love them so much it's probably what we'll continue to get. The noodle soup dishes come out steaming hot with a heaping helping of flavorful broth, the seasoned meat of your choice, and veggies. It's excellent!\n\nThe atmosphere is okay. They have about 15 tables as I stated earlier, this includes a handful of booths along the side wall, two large tables for big parties and some tables with chairs in the center of the dining area. On the walls they have pictures of their dishes, and towards the back there is a window where you can watch the handmade noodles being made from scratch.\n\nDespite the service issues we will continue to come here on a regular basis as we really love their food but until the service improves I have to keep the mediocre rating. Part of a dining EXPERIENCE is not just the food but the service and atmosphere and while the food is wonderful; their service is just very poor and lacking.
