A Taste of China: Yu’s Noodle Shop in Lone Tree
Tucked back in Lone Tree Commons, you might walk right past the sign for Yu’s Noodle Shop. But this is one Douglas County restaurant you definitely don’t want to miss.
Yu’s Noodle Shop is a Chinese noodle house specializing in hand-pulled, pan-fried, and braised noodles, along with hearty soups and bold Sichuan-style dishes. The menu brings the vibrant flavors of Chinese street food to Lone Tree using fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes.
And one of the best parts of the experience starts as soon as you walk through the door. You can watch the noodles being made right in the shop, with three seats offering a front-row view of the action while you eat. It’s a fun glimpse into the craftsmanship that goes into your meal.
The noodle soups are a must-try, with the pork belly noodle soup being a particular favorite. Rich, hearty, and packed with flavor, it’s the kind of dish that makes you understand why this little restaurant has developed such a following.
But don’t overlook the appetizers. There are so many tempting choices that deciding what to order might be the hardest part of your meal. The lotus bun sampler is especially delicious, while the pot stickers and xiao long bao are also worth adding to your order. View the menu.
Yu’s Noodle Shop has become a popular spot, so be prepared to wait during busy times. If you don’t have time to wait, you can order online and carry out. It’s tucked away, but once you know about it, you’ll understand why people seek it out.
