What People Are Saying About Noodle Bar

The Scene
Only two small tables augment the long row of bar seats at this simple Village noodle house. Funky Asian posters paper the bar, but all eyes are focused on the chefs who work behind the counter. They fill orders quickly, but their speed can result in confused, albeit friendly, service.

The Food
Give in to the tempting array of appetizers with an order of the hearty kimchee pancakes whose spicy hoisin sauce lifts them above the ordinary, or the moist Tsingtao beer-battered cod with a side of addictive fried cassava chips. A healthy portion of tender roast duck crowns an egg-noodle soup, and even without a cold, the gingery Indonesian chicken soup provides homey goodness. The lime-tinged Bangkok bouillabaisse, however, lacks the desired spice balance. Inventive desserts like the custardy creme brulee topped with candied ginger end the meal on a refreshing note.

The food is always good. The duck soup and fried rice are my fav. Noodle bar is a great place to have in any area. Good food at low price great for this economy.

This place has some AWESOME food. the singapore noodles are amazing. i would highly recommend it for that reason. HOWEVER, be advised when you go that there is so little seating that the servers don't seem to mind asking you to move 2 TIMES during one meal to accommodate others. especially at lunch-it is SLAMMED. dinner time might be a little better so i'd recommend maybe going then. prices aren't bad either so for a casual quick bite it's a good choice. just don't expect any ambiance or comfort in the seating. not a place you wanna hang out and chill-it's an eat and go kind of joint.

Oh boy - I went went two friends early on a Saturday evening - seating is sparse, but there was plenty of room at the bar. My friends and I treated the menu like a dim sum-type sharing menu, constantly ordering small plates for sharing. Lovely and frank server made great suggestions and we left extremely content after 90 mns of bullshitting and chomping away. Can't wait to go back! So many, many great looking items still yet to try...
