Sometimes there are days when you need Chinese food and that day I just happened to come upon Frank's. I was there for the lunch special which came with a cup of soup as well as 2 korean side dishes which to be honest I know one of them was kim chi but the other one I wasn't sure about, but they were quite delicious. The Hot and Sour soup was great and a little spicy which I liked a lot! For the entree I chose the chicken with noodles and they were delicious you can really tell when the noodles are handmade and they truly were. The staff was amazing here as well and the lunch special only cost me 6.95, definitely makes me want to go back!

Walking distance from my hotel, at the conclusion of a 2,200 mile drive cross-country, we longed for something hearty without the fuss. Frank's was a delightful find. Jiaozi (dumplings) were fresh and tasty. Green beans with onions and mushrooms (subtle), a comfort food favorite. The noodles - yeah, baby! - substantial, chewy, nicely stir-fried with chile peppers, celery, shrimp, etc. There's a style of noodle found in the stalls in Beijing that demand a return visit. These reminded me of my dining experiences over 11 years living in Beijing.From 32 hours in a car to this converted family home, I can't say enough. Perfectly soft landing. Portion sizes left two fellas of a certain size with take-out boxes. Servers were pleasant and efficient. What's not to like?

It's a Chinese/Korean fusion type of place. The noodles aren't too bad, and the prices are not at all unreasonable. Definitely a more Westernized place, not anything wrong with that, but some dishes are better than others. My colleague and I had the beef noodles, the sizzling (BBQ) pork, and the Shanghai broccoli.Beef noodles were ok;Sizzling pork was also pretty decent;Broccoli was a bit too much sauce and oil;The place is pretty good for a small group, and the owner was friendly. A pretty decent place with average food.

This place is great. Located in an old house, on what I don't think of as a particularly resturant-y section of NE Broadway, it feels out of the way to me which is why I forget about it sometimes. I should make sure to remember it though because it is delicious! Chewy, nicely seasoned hand-pulled noodles, bowls of kimchi and pickled daikon, and the string beans are the best things ever. I am sure that the sauce they're cooked in is full of some sort of magical pixie dust because I just want to lick it off the plate. I dream about these string beans. Seriously.

Franks Noodle House makes me so very happy. Spicy hand pulled noodles and dumplings have become a fairly frequent craving. The owners are great- no matter how busy they get, they are always very friendly. Prices are totally fair- between my boyfriend and myself we will split an order of dumplings, fried rice and dumplings and have leftovers--- well not of the dumplings. Those little pockets of amazing never see the fridge. If you haven't been--- GO!

I love this place. I've been many times for both lunch and dinner and the food is consistently excellent whether I'm dining in or taking out. Frank and the rest of the staff are always very friendly.I usually get the vegetarian noodles and an order of Kimchee Fried Rice. This provides enough food for 2-3 meals.I easily give this place 5-stars and am kind of shocked to see anything lower than 3 stars. Given the price, I highly recommend you try it yourself.

We're Chinese from San Francisco Bay Area. We stayed in the Courtyard by Marriott. This area of town is filled with fast food places. After being disappointed by some canned food dumped on a plate at a diner nearby last night, we were quite happy to find via Yelp Frank's Noodle House within walking distance of our hotel.The handmade noodles with fresh vegetables in soup hit the spot! We also ordered a fried noodle dish and a string bean dish. The chicken in both noodle dishes was very skimpy. The flavors were very tasty. Though the green beans, mushrooms, and onions were fresh, the gravy on the beans was excessive.We think the huge photograph of New York City on the wall is out of place (so did the Caucasians sitting at the next table). We suggest that it be replaced with a large photo of the Chinese terra cotta warriors in Xi'an, as the hand-pulled noodles originate from that area of China, or a painting or photo of Chinese scenery.Each chair in the restaurant is shod with four old tennis balls. We recommend replacing these cheap and unsightly yellow balls for floor-protecting chair glides.It's evident that decor is not Frank's strong suit - we could easily have missed this unremarkable house with food inside without our iPhone GPS telling us we'd arrived - but the food is good, and the servers were pleasant. We will certainly recommend it over the MacDonald's, Wendy's, Village Inn, etc., in the neighborhood.The owners said there are three rooms upstairs (we guess converted bedrooms) suitable for meetings and private parties.

I could be obsessed with Frank's Noodles, but I'm not. The homemade noodles are AMAZING as everyone else says. But they are DRENCHED in chili oil and that's pretty much the dish. Good, not great. I also find that they are stingy on the protein: in my $12.95 shrimp noodle dish there were 3 pieces of shrimp and my boyfriend's pork version didn't fare much better. Wayyy overpriced for what you get. Frank, you have a good thing with those noodles; now just subtract a little stinginess and add a little more creativity and I will gladly eat your noodles as often as possible!

Atmosphere = 2Service = 3Food = 2Having driven by Frank's many times in our recent trips to Portland, Yelp's four star rating sealed the deal as a lunch spot for our group of seven.We arrived a few minutes before they opened at 11AM. All of us found parking right in front. Yes, it was the first week in January, but boy, was the place COLD! No, we didn't quite see our breath as we exhaled, but it was close. We were seated quickly and offered water. We had to ask for hot tea. Our waitress appeared right away to answer questions and to take our soup orders. She was very informative, but eventually recommended over half the menu.The tea warmed us up, along with the kimchee. Meals came with a bowl of either egg flower soup or hot and sour soup. Both were unremarkable, but also helped us warm up.Our order for seven:Stir fried noodles with beefStir fried noodles with squid x2Noodle soup with chicken x2Korean BBQ chickenNoodles with black bean sauce and porkSteamed dumplings x2The dumplings were decent, but when it comes down to it, they really weren't much different from dumplings all across the greater Portland area and its environs. Better ones are to be had in Chinatown and all along SE 82nd.Regarding the hand pulled noodles, they were disappointing. After all the hype, we were expecting, well, the greatest thing since hand pulled noodles. The problem is that they appear to make ONE kind of noodle for all their dishes, whether you order the stir fried noodles, the soup noodles, or the boiled noodles. IMO, they are not significantly better than the fresh, machine made noodles you can get at the Asian grocery store (or those used at competing Chinese noodle houses). Just because noodles are hand pulled doesn't automatically mean they're better than machine made noodles.One note: we felt rushed to leave our table. Staff cleared our dishes rather quickly. The owner came by several times to see if we had paid our bill. I looked at the entrance and there were no parties waiting. Yet we were given the distinct impression we had overstayed. We were there for an hour and 15 minutes. All in all, an experience as disappointing as the noodles. There are many better places to spend your dining dollars.Lunch for seven, out the door, with tip, $92.

Delicious homemade food that is prepared fresh and with love. The wait staff are all genuinely friendly, and that says a lot about why I would give any place five starts.I've had their dumpling, salad rolls and noodle dishes (with shrimp, chicken and beef). The dumplings are delicious and tasty made with fresh ingredients. Everything has great flavor and the noodles are very satisfying made with a delicious sauce. A plate of their noodles is a huge serving, so I always get to take some leftovers home.Tip: If you want your noodles REALLY spicy make sure you let them know you want them "really hot", otherwise they are pretty mild in comparison to other noodles you might have at a Thai restaurant. Their scale for heat is on a lower spectrum.If you looking for great noodles, this is your spot.

Chewy, delicious, thick round noodles, made in house, with your choice of meat, seafood, or veggies. The 'spicy hot' was as hot I as I had hoped, and the noodles were better than I expected. Plus the fact that they had my to-go order ready in 15 minutes on Christmas day, evening, impressed me. In addition to the noodles, I got the kung pao chicken. It was pretty solid, but I agree with others that the noodles are their specialty. Only thing disappointing was the salad roll, it just had nothing flavorful about it. Iceberg lettuce, some bland tofu, vermicelli rice noodles, and some average peanut sauce. Anyways, I really enjoyed the rest of my meal, the owners are really friendly, and the portions are great.

This place was OK. Came here because the pho restaurant across the street was closed and I was HUNGRY!Noodles are, well, phenomenal as the reviews saw and as one would expect out of a noodle house but everything else is just so-so. The soups that come with your meal at lunch are your traditional hot-n-sour or egg flower options and neither were amazing. The dishes feature their star, the handmade/hand-pulled noodles but the supporting cast of sauces and seasonings are not well-varied. My mother and I ate two different dishes and they tasted so similar that the only difference I could tell was the meat we chose.The place is cheap, decent and fast but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for a meal.

BACKGROUND - I'm very fond of different types of noodles, mainly yakasoba, udon, ramen and vermicelli. I like experiencing the different textures. I have known Frank's establishment since he first situated next to Nak Won in Beaverton.PROS - Super consistent! I have been here numerous times, almost once every month. Service is always quick and the place is clean. I try to go for their lunch special since it's a few bucks cheaper than dinner (you get the same amount of noodles). I always get it medium spicy (I love spicy but I find that if you get it super spicy, you won't be able to appreciate the noodle texture very much), and the flavors with the fatty pork makes it the perfect noodle dish. I have also tried it with squid, beef and tofu. I still like the pairing with the fatty pork best.CONS - So recently they came out with a broth based noodle soup made from the same handmade noodles...not really digging it. The broth lacks flavor and it just feels like I'm eating a huge bowl of udon with bland broth. I strongly prefer the non-broth versions of this wonderfully crafted noodle.POINTERS - Their house dumplings are also a treat! I also enjoy the complimentary pickled radishes, although complimentary refills depend on who your server is. If it's a young female server, she will say that it's a dollar to refill but the male servers usually just give it to you (I know, strange). It's street parking, but there's always plenty of parking a couple blocks before you hit the establishment by Safeway (free parking).

Came here on a friend's recommendation and was surprised how tiny of a place it was off NE Broadway. The service was super good with my water constantly being filled as well as an attentive waitress that wasn't overbearing. One of the dishes was awesome--a Korean-style pork dish that my girlfriend and I really dug. The fresh salad rolls were tasty too, but overpriced for the size and quality.The claim to fame of house-made noodles was sort of a letdown as we had their noodles with black bean sauce, which had very little flavor, a chewy texture that reminded my of an amateur trying to make Udon noodles) and felt a little off. Other than that, the experience was pretty good, but I wish they had more seating or a larger place. Definitely a worthwhile take-out place if you're itching for some Asian cuisine in NE.

Came here with two friends this Saturday and the three of us split an order of dumplings, the noodles with pork belly and an order of bulgogi beef bbq.The dumplings, in those handmade wrappers, were plump and flavorful and the perfect start to the meal. My friend who was nursing a wicked hangover requested that we just get about 4 more orders of them instead of trying anything more complicated to eat. Luckily, we ignored him.Of course, the noodles were amazing. Thick and chewy coated in sauce, but not swimming in it, they were pretty near to heaven. Not super greasy, good spice level (though I would have opted for a higher level if I wasn't concerned about Mr. Hungover) and tons of flavor. The pork belly was fine, but I'm used to pork belly more in the form of giant slabs of melt-in-your-mouth fat, so the (still moist and tender) meat that came with was a bit of a let down. When I go back I'll opt for the squid based on all these other reviews.Lastly was the bulgogi beef in the Korean BBQ section of the menu. Meh. Tasted great, but if I'm doing Korean BBQ I'd rather go to a cook it yourself place. That being said, we cleaned up the plate and I definitely dumped some rice on the plate to get every last drop of flavor. So, it was delicious and fine, but the noodles were the definite stand out (no surprise there.)Conclusion: GO EAT THOSE NOODLES. Don't even look at the rest of the menu.

I tried so many new things here, wow.Had jellyfish for the 1st time, (if you've ever had pig's ears, jellyfish has that crunch/consistency to me).The black bean noodles was good, but trying to share among friends can be tricky, as the thick sauce makes it a funny task trying to pull out a spoon full. The noodle dishes were good, seasoned well (if you like hot, might have to ask them to put some more heat in your dish).Visually, it does look like someone gutted a house and made it into a restaurant, but it's done nicely. Clean, staff was friendly. If you in an adventurous food mode, would say stop in. Yep, I'd go back for the noodles :)

The service is terrific, efficient, friendly, helpful. Showed up at dinner time and immediately seated. My pork belly meat noodles ($11) tasted great: toothsome, slightly chewy with a nice texture. Meat was a little dry. It had fat on it but tasted like it had been frozen for awhile then thinly cut and stir fried. Shrimp or tofu could have been a better choice.One huge problem I had was that I ordered the noodles spicy. Waiter asked from 1 to 4? I said 4 please, I am not fucking around. I am a spice freak. I eat bird chilies raw with rice. I want bleeding eyeballs, pain in stomach, sweating and tearing up spicy. If you threaten spicy, then GIVE IT TO ME. Thai restaurants usually throw down. This place will not. More generally, Portland will not. Pussies.Anyhoo, the entree was reddish in color with chiii pepper powder on it. I tasted my food and it wasn't spicy at all. I went back into the kitchen and said my food was not spicy and I needed more. The waiter was so nice and jokingly said, next time you need a 7.They gave me the sour chili paste in the condiment jar and sent me back to my seat. The paste was gross and I gave up. Other than that, good place to have a meal!

We walk in to this house-staurant, and my boyfriend yells "I LOVE TENNIS". All of the chairs have tennis balls affixed to the legs. It's sorta ridiculous, but charming. We were excited to try the herbal beef appetizer, but the waitress raised an eyebrow and I could almost hear her thinking "what the hell are you lily white people thinking? that shit is rank". Instead we got the potstickers, which sport a handmade wrapper and yum-alicious dipping sauce. They were steamed, and the handmade wrapper had the consistency of overcooked pasta. Still, pretty good.We got the stir fried noodles with shrimp, because hand pulled noodles are a must. OMG, The texture of the noodles! So awesome! We kept talking about how it would be better with some lime juice and cilantro and chopped peanuts... Sound familiar? It tasted like sorta bland pad thai with better noodles. It needed crunch and some top end tang. We also had the green beans which were addictive. I could eat those beans all day, every day.

Frank's noodle house is a great little gem, that is tucked away in the Lloyd district (Next to a company that sells urns, I might add)Anyway, the noodles here are delicious. I wasn't quite sure what to expect after one of my friends finally dragged me out of my apartment long enough to go to lunch, bribing me with promises of amazing, handmade noodles.I was skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a dish of the chicken variety... I normally order tofu at pretty much every other restaurant; but I'm glad I broke out of my comfort zone, because the chicken here is FANTASTIC! I'm not sure how they cook it... But it's pretty much the best chicken I've ever had.I can't say much about their tofu, though. I'll just have to go back soon, I suppose...

Frank's is the successor to Eagle Thai in this converted house near Lloyd Center.We came here at noon on a weekday. The cozy restaurant was filled, but we still were able to get seated immediately. When we sat down, I pondered a huge black and white photo on canvas hanging on the wall across from me. This 1940s era photo was of New York City, with the triangular-shaped Flatiron building in the foreground. I was wondering where I had seen it before. Oh, that's right! I saw it in my living room this morning. :-)Lunch automatically comes with either egg flower or hot and sour soup. The soups were delicious! We also received two complimentary banchan dishes: kimchee and a cubed crunchy white vegetable in vinegar. The kimchee was particularly good. For appetizers we ordered steamed dumplings and spring rolls. The steamed dumplings were okay, but made much better with their accompanying dipping sauce. The peanut dipping sauce for the spring rolls was very good, but the spring rolls were a little heavy on the lettuce.For entrees, JP asked for the octopus stir fry and I ordered the squid handmade noodles (with a request to hold the red and green bell pepper from the dish). The entrees were a mixed bag. The delicious seasonings in JP's dish and mine were identical. And the handmade noodles in my dish were wonderful!However, the octopus and the squid were a disaster. They were way overcooked, rendering them extremely tough and chewy. What happened?We wondered how much real variety there was between dishes in the restaurant. As we exited the restaurant, we peeked at the dishes on the other tables, and it appeared that all the other diners' dishes had the same red chili-based seasoning/sauce that our dishes possessed. But we did take note that a sizzling plate that was taken to a table in back of us smelled sooo good!While service was friendly and fast, it was too fast. Food arrived our table within seconds after being ordered (pre-made?). Also, I wished our server hadn't cleared all our dishes and silverware away from the table while I was still eating. I had wanted to keep my fork to get every last morsel that I couldn't pick up with my chopsticks.

I think this place has finally got it together. I went a few times when they first opened, and apparently were experiencing new-business pains. The food seemed greasy, and mediocre. The service was awful, and took forever.Everything I just mentioned is now the antithesis of the current state of things.Even during the lunch rush, food comes out very quickly, and seems to have risen dramatically in quality. I personally like the Pork and Napa Cabbage, with a side of kimchi, then I mix the 2 together. For lunch, it's $7.95.Frank and the rest of the staff are very friendly, however, usually very busy.

I've driven by Frank's Noodle House at least a zillion times and every time I've thought, "Dang, I need to try that place someday soon." Funny, I've been thinking that for about a year and a half, but never made it happen. I actually stopped by a while back, but found out that they're not open on Sunday. Curses, foiled again. Well, I finally made it in recently and I'm really glad I did.The dining room looked very clean in this mom and pop shop. I was amused by the bright green tennis balls affixed to the legs of every table and chair. I guess they want to avoid scratches on the hardwood floors. Tacky as hell, but whatever works.Lots of tasty items on the menu--not just noodles. I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought perhaps it was a ramen type restaurant. I was glad to see they serve mostly Korean items. We ordered the handmade noodles with shrimp and the bulgugi. I liked the noodles a lot more than the beef, but both were very tasty. Portions were generous and there was plenty to share family style. Good stuff.Service was friendly and attentive. Our food came out of the kitchen pronto. I liked the kimchi and radish appetizers. You can never go wrong with kimchi. I like Frank's Noodle House and intend to make it FRANK'S Frank's Noodle House. We'll definitely be back.
