We ventured out to the Magic Kingdom yesterday to have lunch at Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station. We arrived at the Noodle Station just as it was opening. DH and DD were with me. DH had an egg roll and the Chicken Stir Fry with Lo Mein Noodles. I had pot stickers and the Shrimp Pad Thai. DD had the kids noodle soup. We all shared a Ginger Crème Brulee for dessert. Not that we needed it! The portions were HUGE. We definitely did not need the appetizers either, but in the interest of writing a thorough review, I felt we must try them ;-).
In addition to the overhead menu, there was a sandwich board which offered two additional selections (one was teriyaki chicken and vegetables served over rice) and a hot dog (for your picky eater). There was a condiment area loaded with standard Asian accoutrements, soy sauce, and duck sauce, as well as hot dog fixins.
The egg roll seemed to be the same as the cart in Adventureland. Very large with thick egg roll skin. The filling was standard cabbage, carrots, and I think pork. Cooked well and not too mushy inside. DH gave it a thumbs up. The Potstickers were okay. Pork and green onion filled, they were deep fried and very crispy. They came with a hoisin dipping sauce. The dipping sauce went well with the egg roll as well. In fact dipping the egg roll in the hoisin made it taste a lot like MuShu. (The Chinese Dish, not the Dragon, I dont do that Dragon thing)
DHs Chicken Stir Fry with LoMein was delicious. All three of us loved this one. The chicken was very tender. The vegetables very crisp, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The sauce was a on the sticky sweet side.
My Shrimp Pad Thai was decent. The shrimp were very tender, but the noodles were a bit overdone. It was not as spicy as I would have liked, and cashews are used whole in place of the crushed peanuts normally associated with Pad Thai. There was lots of fresh cilantro, and it was served with a juicy lime wedge.
DDs noodle soup was chock full of noodles, but also chock full of onions. DH loved the soup, but it was too pungent for DD. All the onions floating on top probably didnt help matters! She absolutely loved DHs Chicken Stir Fry, which was the clear winner of the day. In fact, we all dug in to his bowl, and he still had plenty left when our tummies were full!
We shared a blackberry jasmine iced tea, which was incredible refreshing. Although the same price as a large soda, it was served in a smaller, reusable plastic cup. For dessert, the crème Brulee was a generous portion. The texture of the custard was a little curdled, but still very creamy, and the Brule part was the perfect consistency. Light enough to crack, and dense enough to crunch just a little bit in your mouth. The folks sitting next to us had chocolate cakes on their tray, and while I didnt get one this time, I may have to save room next time. It was an individual round piece of chocolate cake with a large dollop of frosting or chocolate mousse. Perched on top was a fortune cookie. It was a lovely presentation, that really made me want one.
We would definitely go back, and being locals, we can. Im thrilled to have this choice now for counter service dining. Three of us dined for $30 and change, we had a spectacular view of the Castle, and we were more than full.
