" My visit to First Meeting Noodle was delightful, to say the least. I was immediately drawn in by the lovely ambiance and the sight of chefs preparing noodles right before my eyes. The menu is straightforward but packed with traditional food choices. I tried the authentic Lanzhou noodles and was impressed with both the texture and flavor. The service was prompt despite the busy dining area. I will surely return to explore more of their special dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited First Meeting Noodle with a group of friends, and we were all delighted by our meals! The place was quite busy, which is usually a good sign. Each dish we ordered was accompanied by fresh handmade noodles which were the highlight for all of us. I personally thought the wontons in chili oil were outstanding. My friends loved the Dan Dan noodles. Although we had to wait a bit for a table, the food was worth it. I plan to recommend it to anyone visiting Rochester! " (*Curated Review*)

" First Meeting Noodle is one of the most delightful places I have dined recently! I had the pleasure of trying their sweet potato fries as an appetizer; they were perfectly crisp and not overly sweet. For my main, I had the stir-fried beef noodles which were flavorful and filling. The overall experience was relaxing with attentive service. I felt pampered during my visit, and I will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with some friends last weekend for the first time, and it certainly exceeded my expectations! The restaurant was lively and inviting. We couldn’t decide what to order with so many tantalizing options, but everything we chose was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the beef noodle soup, bursting with rich flavor. The portions were generous too, very satisfying meal. I’m looking forward to my next visit to try the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" On our recent trip to Rochester, we stumbled upon First Meeting Noodle and decided to stop for dinner. The service was great, and our server was attentive. I ordered the spicy Chongqing noodles hoping for a kick, and it certainly delivered—it was beautifully balanced and flavorful. The hand-pulled noodles were cooked just right. However, I found the room a bit crowded on a Friday evening. That said, I look forward to visiting again to explore more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to try First Meeting Noodle while visiting Rochester, and it surpassed all my expectations. The warm atmosphere added to my experience, and I loved that you could see the chefs in action. The Chili Oil wontons were a must-try appetizer and tasted divine. I ordered the braised egg and pork belly noodles that were served steaming hot. My only regret is that I don’t live closer to this gem, as I’d definitely make it a weekly visit! The flavors reminded me of authentic meals I had in Asia. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, and I am delighted to say those expectations were met! First Meeting Noodle is remarkable, offering genuine flavors and authentic Asian dishes. The pulled noodles are hand-made, which was fun to witness, and the staff was very friendly. I especially enjoyed the Dan Dan noodles. Definitely on my list for my next visit to Rochester, can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
