I ordered the Fried noodles with shrimpand it had an amazing flavor. The atmosphere was comfortable almost like having lunch at a friend's house. My friends ordered other meals that were just as good.
I haven't been here in a long time, been to the Westside location but it was a nice date night to come here and have the delicious noodles. Our food was delicious, our service was great and I'm so glad we made it to the original Franks before our blazer game! The 1 for spice was definitely a good choice for me since I don't do spice but next time will ask for a 2 spice and we had egg rolls before our food and they were delicious.
Great service, vibe and delicious noodles! The older gentleman was welcoming and the portions were huge!
Can't wait to come back. You walk in and one elderly Chinese man is watching a Chinese show. No waitstaff to be seen. You know it's going to be good. You get the pulled noodles over cabbage with spices and beef and of course it's even better than expected. Rich flavors, chewy noodles, and well seasoned, tender beef. All complimented with hot tea for a perfect winter afternoon. Frank's is a no-frills, yet comfortable space. You're paying for excellent food at an affordable price. Can't wait to try the Hand Pulled Noodles w/ Black Bean Sauce next time. Also heard the kimchi is delicious.
Was near Lloyd Center in Portland during lunch. Decided to give this a try. It was really good!!
First time getting food from Franks and we had it delivered. We ordered the Fresh Salad Rolls, Mongolian beef, Stir fried noodles with chicken, Shanghai Baby Bok Choy and Handmade Dumplings. The food was ready and delivered on time. The salad rolls were pretty simplistic and plain, I'd order something else in the future. The handmade dumplings were really good especially with the dipping sauce. The bok choy was excellent! Cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. The Mongolian beef was also really good. The beef was tender and the vegetables were sweet and flavorful. The stir fried noodles was the dish I had been craving. The fresh hand pulled noodles were great. The chicken was tender. The portions on the main dishes were good sized and I was not disappointed.
You get solid, dependable hand pulled noodles here. And other stuff, too. I usually go with the basics-veggies, chicken, medium hot. I once went with black beans and chicken on noodles and it was just too rich for my taste. So....back to the basics. They will add veggies and mix it up for you if you just ask and not too crowded. It is sadly not an accessible location for folks with mobility limitations.
So it's a house. Like somebody's actual home. Remember living in one of thise before renting for the rest of your life? Now you too can recreate the idyllic wonder that comes with eating in a living room with a startling but charming atmosphere. Foodwise it's hard to go wrong with the noodles. Good spice level, mindful use of celery, and the springy and chewable texture you can expect from well made hand pulled noodles. I've also had the fried rice which was absolutely fair but nothing insane. I personally cannot get enough of the ambience. It's cool, confusing, clean, and comfy. The accolades mounted on the wall are hung with pride; my favorite being from Mayor Fieri himself. This place gets a big recommendation from me and is best experienced in person. If you're lucky you'll see Frank himself
