What People Are Saying About Noodle Bar

Featured Review

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…

The Extras:
The restaurant currently has no liquor license--so it's BYOB. Check out nearby Astor Wine for the largest selection of sake in the city.

great food if you don't mind being squashed

by eatinpants

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.

  • Pros: cool location, AWESOME food, usually pretty fast
  • Cons: teeny crowded restaraunt, always slammed at lunch time

Excellent spot for casual eats

by angelinadarling

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...

  • Pros: Cheap, delish eats made to order, friendly service
  • Cons: Smallish dining area - not that much of a con!

Cute place - great food!

by radieb

Amazing little place for noodle dishes. The shrimp wonton broth noodles were absolutely to die for. Went with a small group , 4 people, and ate at the end of the counter... it was absolutely perfect for our small group. Can't wait for the next time I'm downtown so I can visit again! And don't go without trying the crab rangoon appetizer- they are amazing with every bite!

  • Pros: Fresh, delicious food - cozy atmosphere
  • Cons: not good for large groups
