ABOUT US
All monkeys are welcome!
Monkey King Noodle Co. brings the taste of legitimate Northern Chinese street food, as treasured by our own experiences eating in the night markets of China and Taiwan.
Hand-Pulled Noodles
Back when in the old days in Taiwan, noodle makers were considered blue-collar workers. It was a family tradition to pass down the trade from father to son, son to grandson. But this back-breaking work wasn’t an enviable job.
Now, in today’s age of fancy technology, noodle makers are hard to find, especially when a machine can easily churn out chewy strands faster than humanly possible. That’s why we have decided to do everything old school.
The Monkey King, himself
Andrew Chen, one of the owners and chief noodle maker, makes everything from scratch. He’s become a semi-superstar for his craft.
Chen’s restaurants focus on street food — the dishes he lusted for after a night of drinking in Taipei...and so, the "hipster Chinese food" cult begin in a small stand in Deep Ellum to the now 3 locations and counting.

"The best bowls of noodles come with a superpower: Once you dive in, slurping up good sauces and springy and tender noodles..."
"I could eat that spicy beef noodle soup every day for the rest of my life. As long as Monkey King Noodle Co. is open, I’m happy."
"It's hard to go wrong with Monkey King Noodle Company. The noodles here are hand-pulled and everything from the cold beef..."

This place is amazing. I've been to many Restaurants that have had noodles but this place has all of them beat. The flavors were delicious and came together in a savory mouth explosion of complex flavors. Personally I would recommend the Peanut Garlic Noodles and the soup dumplings.
