The best noodle shops in Houston, according to the experts: Houstonia and The Infatuation have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. San Dong Noodle House comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. San Dong Noodle House
Taiwanese Noodle Shop
San Dong is a Taiwanese noodle house on Bellaire Blvd where the forks, spoons, and bowls are all the to-go kind, and you grab your own containers off a shelf like it's a very small hardware store. The menu is beef noodle soup and pan-fried or steamed dumplings, and a full meal for two comes in under $20. Bring cash, tip the cashier, and don't expect much elbow room.

Rank 2. Mensho
Japanese Noodle Shop
Tori paitan, a creamy Japanese white chicken broth, is the anchor at this intimate ramen shop tucked inside Dun Huang Plaza. Mensho runs just thirty seats, so the line forms fast and the room stays loud. The noodles are springy, the duck is smoky, and the soft-boiled egg arrives at exactly the right wobble. A ramen shop where every topping feels deliberate rather than decorative.
