Perth Noodle Wok

One man. One Wok.
Endless possibilities.
Tucked away behind the cinema this little noodle shop has been in ecistence for quite some time now.
I utilise it as a cheap way to get lunch for work.
Its super affordable with little on the menu over Ten dollars.
The food is good (not great but good) simple fair.
However its the tiny waiting time of about three minutes from when I walk in that keeps me coming back. As I only get a limited amiunt of time for a lunch break and its nice to find somewhere quick and cheap.
Fantastic for the price. One could find better quality noodles, however it would be hard to find a place both as cheap and quick as this one.

Fairly average Noodle dishes. Decent but if you’re looking for something better I’d suggest nearby King’s Noodle Box in Woodvale or Express Wok in Beldon.
The dishes are cheap and semi flavoursome but nothing to write home about. Every time I have been here the place seems to be deserted, which I guess should’ve been an indicator not to eat here. The staff seem bored and unhappy.
Not a complete failure, but pretty average none the less.

This place has been around for ages and coincidentally the first place I ever experienced fast food noodles in the little boxes you see on TV. They do great combination noodles and don’t go all cheap on you with the meat to noodle ratio. I like that you can eat a whole serve of these noodles without becoming a thirsty and sick victim to an MSG overload. A good treat if you are going to empty your wallet to the overpriced (all cinemas are a complete rip off) movie land, noodle wok is a cheap and fast option with big servings around $ 11.

Dinner proceeded with a conversation about Wok in a Box and about how much better this was than that. For a moment, I was slightly confused, because we were eating food cooked in woks as well, and out of boxes to boot, and if the question was one of form then better and worse didn’t really come into it.
The question turned out to be one of content, and in that respect the difference was well pronounced. Where Wok in a Box’s dishes tend towards the gluggy or the sickly, this unassuming little shopfront turns out clean, light, tasty fare and does so in a matter of minutes. It’s not perfect. Where the menu mentions combinations – chicken and beef, pork and prawn, or even all four mixed in together – one shouldn’t be surprised to find that only one such meat actually makes it into the box. Similarly, one can ask that one’s dish be hot, only to find that one’s dining companion, who asked theirs to be mild, can’t handle what they’ve ordered for all the misplaced chilli.
But the flavours are such that one can overlook these oversights, which pale beside those of the store’s competitors, and which in no way render the contents of the box inedible.
