Hop Sheing Noodle House

Omg sooooooo good. Fresh made ramen so delicious… best crab ragoon ever… amazing prices u will not regret!!! I ordered medium spicy ramen OMG Its legit spicy lol not for weak tongued so if get spicy make sure u ready to go hard… oooo and bubble tea. Yupppppp

Came here tonight and dropped $ 20 plus $ 5 for a tip for a mediocre experience. I got pork ramen, crab rangoon and a taro bubble smoothie. The broth in the ramen was tasty and the roast pork was tasty if not a bit chewy. The veggies were boring and plain and. The crab rangoon was overcooked, or maybe the oil needs changed in the fryer. The bubble tea smoothie was super disappointing. It had almost no flavor. I even mentioned it to the guy who was at the register who I think was the owner or manager and he didn’t even offer to replace it or at least ask what was wrong with it. I took a few drinks and left it. I don’t expect my butt kissed or anything, but offering something to make it right, or even acting like you care is the right way to go.
Anyway, I’ll give them a 3, but it was a 2.5 experience.

Asian food is my favorite. I was really excited to try this place. It was very expensive and the food was fair. The crab Rangoon was not good. The noodles dishes we ordered treated like a typical stir fry I can make at home. Their Vietnamese phở was not authentic. We paid over $ 60 for lunch for 4 people and two of us shared. Definitely not worth the price. On a positive note the employees were very nice and helpful.

One of our family favorite restaurants. We go there every other week for the super large portions of great food they serve. The Pad Thai is incredible. The menu is different, they give u a pen and u check off everything u want as in noodles, sauce, meat, and a variety of veggies. Great staff and a nice size eating area, very clean. Have your kids try the bubble shake, its different from the norm and it really tastes like captain crunch. Lol.
Its a lil pricey but u will have lunch for a few days with their massive portions.

The best noodle house around the downriver area. Big portions a great selection of different types of noodles. The bubble tea is very good.

Food was amazing, bubble tea was something I have never experienced a drink like this before but my taste buds were pleasured and have found a new craving! Strawberry Mango was probably my favorite!
Fair pricing and huge portions. I am very pleased to have a place like this so close. This place will be around for along time! And their future is bright, keep up the good work! Please don’t bring down the quality or portions. 5 stars

I’ve waiting for a long time for a place like Hop Sheing, and I’m so happy that it’s less than 15 minutes away from home. I love the simplicity of the make-​your-​own noodle dish and make-​your-​own bubble tea menus, it’s something I haven’t seen since I last visited MSU and U of M. I’m happy to find out a young MSU grad owns Hop Sheing.
I have very high expectations for any place that boasts their skills in noodle dishes and bubble tea, I would say Hop Sheing has met those expectations and then some. The bubbles in the bubble tea are cooked through, but not overdone. The tea is flavorful, and the proprotions of tea to bubbles is well balanced.
We loved the crab rangoon. For the low cost, I wasn’t expecting 8 pieces, much less crab rangoon that are loaded with the crab/​cream cheese filling. I had the ramen with roast pork with some carrots, broccoli, and peapod and I loved it all. The broth was flavorful, the ramen noodles were al dente, the roast pork was tender, and the veggies were cooked through but not mushy. When the bowl first arrived, I honestly looked at it and thought there was no way this was enough, but I left with a small amount of leftovers for the next day. I’m looking forward to going back to Hop Sheing to try the phở next. I have my favorite phở restaurants that has set the gold standard, I’m interested to see how Hop Sheing will compare.
The service was great, the server came by often to check on us and was ready to answer any questions we have. It also appears they do a solid takeout business, which I’m happy to see. I can’t wait to go back.

I’ll admit that I don’t think of Lincoln Park as a culinary destination city very often, but the buzz on social media was that this place was legit — and they were right!
I love bubble tea, and the only bubble tea I’ve had in Michigan thus far has been overcooked and somewhat nasty, with limited flavors. Not so at Hop Sheing! Not only do they have tons of flavors, but they let you mix and match them to your heart’s delight. Any place that lets me blend lychee and coconut is alright by me.
We started with the crab rangoon, expecting something bland with a bit of cream cheese and scallions inside. These came out piping hot, with tasty crab and a delicious savory-​sweet blend inside. The sweet/​sour sauce mixed with hot sauce made the perfect dual flavor dipping sauce. But if you’re a baby about hot food like I am, give them a few minutes to cool first!
My companion loves soupy noodles like ramen and phở, and I love fried noodles like lo mein, pad thai, and rice noodles. This menu had plenty of options for both of us. We took another Unilocaler’s advice and got the roast pork, which was a wonderful decision. I tried the Hong Kong Noodles (spicy) with all the veggies and it was excellent. My companion’s ramen was a likewise delicious dish. Definitely the best noodles overall that I’ve had since I was in Hong Kong earlier this year — and maybe even better than some of my dishes there :)
The warnings that the portions are huge are valid — I ate to my heart’s content and still have enough leftovers for two lunch portions, all for a VERY reasonable $ 10.
The servers were pleasant and welcoming, seeming to understand that much of the clientele (like me) might be a bit confused and/​or intimidated by the unique way the menu works. Choose a form of noodles or soup, then choose your meats, then choose your vegetables — it’s not like ordering a plate of General Tsao.
I will be going back here to try a few more dishes, and some of my favorite Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai restaurants are all simultaneously put on notice that they have competition coming from the same location.

Just tried this place and was pleasantly surprised. A different take on Chinese food. Well prepared and large portions. If you want something different try this place.

I’ve wanted authentic ramen for years but the closest place I could find was a few hours away so I never thought I would have a chance to try it until I found this place practically in my back yard. I ordered pork ramen and a bubble tea and the ramen was so much better than that 25 cent stuff you find at the grocery stores. The waitress I got was incredibly nice too, I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone who cares to listen and I’m definitely coming back here again.

Gave this place another chance and was not disappointed. Food was great and you get more then you could possible eat. Will visit again.

I’m a regular customer here now, as each time I come I’m never disappointed. My favorite is the ramen, my boyfriend usually gets the Shanghai or the Hong Kong. First of all, I need to talk about this broth. The ramen broth is rich and full of that delicious umami flavor, the first time I tried it I was amazed. I get either chicken or shrimp ramen because I prefer their ramen over the udon. My boyfriend is in love with their roast pork meat option.
It’s a ‘build your meal’ type noodle house, so it’s priced according to the meat you choose. Any vegetable add-​ons are free with the dish. No matter what, the portions are enormous if you’re getting the noodle dish.
I’m also addicted to bubble tea, so this being the first place downriver to get decent bubble tea makes me a very happy camper. They’re since added multiple new flavors of teas since their opening, which have all been quite good.
The staff are always friendly and polite. If you haven’t been there before, I’ve always seen them be very patient in explaining their dishes, even to the old and unfamiliar. I watched the owner explain the dishes to an elderly couple for about twenty minutes and she never sounded impatient.
The interior is calm and quite pretty. They always have some sort of classical music playing, which I find quite amusing. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait for longer then 15 minutes for food to come out.
If you’re getting carry-​out, know that you’re getting all your mix-​ins served on the side, which I feel like makes it lack that proper melding of flavors, so I do prefer to dine-​in if I’m going.
All in all, I love this place and I will return as often as possible. :)

Came in here on a freezing cold Sunday night with my girlfriend who has been here before. Upon first impression its a typical Asian restaurant. Typical décor, typical tables and chairs. We were created by the proprietor who seated us immediately. There were 6 – 7 other tables when we arrived which was surprising because from the road it looked empty! The menu is simple and easily laid out, my girlfriend had the pad Thai and I had the Yaki udon. We also ordered egg drop soup and crab ran goons. The soup came out piping hot, perfect! The rangoons came out just as we finished our soups and they were also very good. Not overly crispy, just right. Next came our main dishes. The Yaki udon I had was amazing. Hands down one of the best noodle dishes I’ve ever had. Not to mention the amount you get for the price is an amazing bargain. You gotta try this place, once, at least. You can thank me later.

Against my better judgment I tried this noodle dive again. I tried the Phở soup. It was a bland salty broth. That’s all I will say. I’m trying to be nice. I don’t wish for any business to go under; this place will do so all on their own. The only way they can succeed is by cutting their prices in half. Nice size portions of sub standard food. Go elsewhere.

A solid fulfilling meal, but falls a few steps short.
I’ve eaten the Udon and the Phở because I love broth based soups. The udon was good but maybe a little too salty, there isn’t a lot of nuance for a dish that really relies on the nuance and depth of flavor of the broth. The veggies and noodles and meat are served on the side of the broth so you can take it with and add as necessary. This is great for transporting the meal, but I would like if maybe even just the noodles are added to the broth– so they can soak up the flavor before you eat it.
I’m disappointed in the Phở. As others have said, it is not really Phở. It is salty and a little sweet, but there are none of the comforting clove and spice flavors I would expect from a traditional Phở. The meat portion that comes on the side is also disappointing — especially considering the prices they add to the meal. Fortunately, the meat is good quality (but again, not in the broth, so the flavor from cooking it is lost).
I have tried the Hong Kong noodles from a friend, which were fantastic. I think the spicy noodles here are the way to go, and there are several types.
The staff is always very friendly and attentive — I saw them explaining the menu patiently to some customers inside and helping them understand the menu. The customers were clueless, I wouldn’t have had the patience to deal with it, but that’s why I am no longer in food service.
I would love to give this a better rating, because the service and staff are awesome, and the portions are huge and filling. But I think serving a traditional dish in a way that is unsatisfying is a bad move. I’ll update after I try a few of their other options– its worth another go.

This is our second time eating at the Noodle house and this time we carried out. I ordered two dinners and they must have weighed 5 lbs each. We have enough food for tomorrow and the next day, the most per order I have ever seen, The food is not traditional Chinese, it is a noodle house and that is what you should expect.
These noodles dishes are some of the best I have ever had. I really enjoy Thai food and while this is not as spicy, the noodle dishes do compare. If you like noodle dishes and want something outside of regular Chinese restaurant food, then this is the place for you.

Bland «phở», which resembled no phở I have ever seen. I get the impression that authenticity is not the goal of the management. Seems they are catering to the downriver palate. Portions were large, prices were low. Service was decent. I won’t be back.

UPDATE: We have returned a few times and tried a few more things on the menu. The good news is broccoli has been added to the veggie list. Unfortunately every dish has been bland. No spices or seasoning at all, except for the spicy rice noodles which had chili flakes and that’s it. My wife had to dump pepper into her ramen to eat it and it still didn’t really help. These noodles are good comfort food but the chef needs to start bringing the flavor.
I used to be a take out regular at the original Hop Sheing Chinese restaurant back when I still ate meat. So I was sad when they closed and extremely excited to see Hop Sheing Noodle House under construction. I liked the simple menu concept and the availability of tofu. It was great to see many full tables at 6:30 on a Wednesday night. Based on food quality alone this place should only get three stars. But where else Downriver are you going to find Phở, bubble tea and Mochi ice cream? Bonus star! Hop Sheing needs just a few tweaks to really deserve four or five stars. The menu on their Facebook page has descriptions of the 7 different noodle entrée options, but they are missing from the in-​house menus. Pictures might help too. The veggie choices are a good start but staples like mushrooms, broccoli and bok choy are conspicuously absent. Also it’s great they offer Mochi but our waitress couldn’t explain what it was.
Our meal started with a complementary bowl of fried wide noodles that were dusted with cinnamon and sugar. A little different but very tasty, they just needed to be served with soup or some dipping sauce. I ordered the spicy Hong Kong noodles with tofu and my wife tried the udon with shrimp. We both asked for all the veggies which are onion, carrot, green onion, pea pods and bean sprouts. Mine was nicely spiced Cantonese lo mein with a generous amount of nicely fried tofu, but the dish was dry and the sprouts were missing! The portion was easily enough to split for two people. The udon was fine but could have used a tempura option. Our adventurous kiddo loved the egg drop soup which was thick and creamy while our picky eater stuck to edamame. We finished with strawberry and red bean Mochi ice cream, mango and green tea flavours are also available.

I was really hoping to have a better experience but, none of the staff had ever worked in customer service, or none of them cared about getting a tip. Resteraunt had a plain décor, no music on except the blender going on and off in the kitchen.
I sent my meal back and chose not to get anything else, something was just not right about the beef. I don’t think I’d go back. They have a lot to work on.

The menu is a «build-​your-​own» model. You choose from 7 types of noodles (some are soup, some are stir-​fried noodles), then choose your meat, seafood or tofu and the veggies. They also have a couple of house entrees, quite a few appetizers, mochi and bubble tea.
I had the spicy rice noodles (which came with egg, though the menu made no mention of them). They weren’t actually very spicy, but the portion was huge and the meal was filling. The tofu was nicely fried and the veggies were good. My husband had the udon soup with beef and found it a little sweet, but enjoyable once he added some siracha and salt.
I think it will probably take a few visits to create the perfect dish, but we’ll definitely be back. The pricing is reasonable and the food was good.
