" A friend introduced me to First Meeting Noodle, and I must say I was quite impressed. The service was quick, and the environment was cozy, perfect for a casual night out. I got the lamb sandwich, and it was seasoned well. Though I thought the taste was good, I wished it had more depth of flavor. Overall, I'd recommend it for anyone who enjoys authentic Chinese flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

Overall a good experience, but I will definitely try different dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at First Meeting Noodle. I ordered the Garlic Chicken and found it to be incredibly tasty. The noodles were freshly made and had a perfect chewy texture. The service was smooth, and the waitstaff were nice, but I did feel like they could have been a bit more attentive. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, ideal for families or smaller groups. I’ll definitely be back, especially to try the spicy dumplings next time. " (*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*)
