Staff was enthusiastic and eager to answer any questions. The noodles were delicious as was the broth. I wish this place would have showed up quicker on Google. We just happen to find it and we would definitely go back if we lived in the area

This restaurant is seated right off the corner of the road. When I walked in, I was the only customer there in the early afternoon hours (11:30). I was greeted and seat immediately.
The server provided a menu, a glass of cold water, chopsticks as soon as I was seated. I took in the views of the beautiful restaurant prior to ordering.
The attentive server provided an awesome background of the restaurant. He advised that they are a Chinese ramen noodle restaurant and that the noddles are made in house.
I opted for the scallion pancakes as an app and the pork ramen. My food was piping hot which was great. The pancakes were soooo flaky and packed a lot of flavor. Paired with the dipping sauce and it's sure to be a table favorite. The pork ramen was nothing short of delicious. The pork was tender, the noodles were soft yet had a nice buoyancy in the light broth. I did wish that the egg wasn't cooked all the way through however it was still good.
To my surprise, when I asked for a to-go box, it comes with the cutest to go bag that I now use while shopping for groceries and they give you to-go chopsticks.
I love this place and I'm sure you would too!

Finally had a chance to visit the Wheat. Enjoyed the elegant and chill atmosphere here. Don't forget to try Egg tarts and Mango Pomelo Sago. They are so delicious.🥰🥰🥰

I tried to give other chance to Chinese food but it’s not for me so in my opinion the place and the service is good but the food is horrible. The chicken come with bones and fat and same with the meat. The only thing that I liked was the scallion pancake

I was pretty sad to see the last restaurant that was here go, but man, was this delicious and a great new option. Most of their menu items seemed to be noodle soups, but that’s kind of what I was looking for. They did have non-soup options as well, but far fewer. It also seemed very authentic and not too dumbed down or Americanized.
I ordered the salt and pepper shrimp as an appetizer, which was straight forward but very good. I liked the hot pepper seasoning that came with it. Wish it came with a sauce, but I dipped it in my soup from my entree. For my entree I ordered the beef noodle soup, which was braised beef. The portion was solid, with lots of noodles, and the beef was faaaaantastic, delicious and perfectly cooked to wear it just melts in your mouth. The broth was so good I couldn’t stop eating it when I felt full. I asked to make it extra spicy and the accommodated. I thought the prices were reasonable and the staff were kind and efficient. Service was quick, super cute and clean atmosphere. I’m excited to come back and try some more!!!

Service was pretty good. Food overall was very ok. The thing that bugged me the most was the soup base. It felt like it was water with some sort of powder/ flavoring.

Just discovered this little gem recently. Wheat has very traditionally Chinese Noodle dishes + sides that are very much on par with what you would get in a Chinatown in a bigger city. Highly recommend the braised beef noodle soup. The service here is excellent - the waiters always make sure you have enough napkins and water, while being super friendly and polite (ours even held the door open as we exited). This is a great place for a casual/affordable lunch or dinner.

Service was great, and they even you a reusable takeout bag. Ordered beef with bamboo shoots - portion size was decent, beef was tender, bamboo shoots and overall taste profile was just sort of salty. Mango pomelo sago was good though. I wouldn’t mind coming back and trying the drinks and desserts.
I was initially concerned about food poisoning given the other reviews, but I didn’t have any GI issues after eating here ….
