What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Frank's Noodle House during the 'Aces of Authenticity' episode (aired 2013-10-21), spotlighting the Northeast Portland restaurant's Chinese noodle dishes. The restaurant sits at 822 NE Broadway. According to Wikipedia (revised 2026-07-15), Frank's Noodle House later expanded to a second location in Beaverton, and a third location opened in Portland's Pearl District in 2025. A page identifying itself as an unofficial Frank's Noodle House website, checked 2026-09-08, listed the same 822 NE Broadway address and phone number and posted Saturday hours of 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, noting the restaurant does not offer delivery. The 2025 Pearl District opening described by Wikipedia points to an actively expanding small chain built around the original Broadway location.
In the 'Comfort Food Mash-Up' episode, which aired 2016-02-03, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives revisited Frank's Noodle House in Portland for its hand-pulled Lanzhou-style noodles and biangbiang noodles, made fresh in house. The Chinese restaurant operates from a converted house near the Lloyd Center on Northeast Broadway, serving noodle dishes, curry noodles, and appetizers alongside kimchi. According to a KFFM recap of the segment, Guy Fieri learned to hand-pull noodles from scratch during the original visit that led to this comfort-food-themed return.
