Noodlebox

Spent about an hr looking for this place as i got lost coming off all the construction between anthony henday and yellowhead .
Finally reached home plate and bought some Tom Yum soup to stay and some spicy peanut and kung pao to go which i’ll eat later.
Staff is friendly and the layout of the store is very simple and informal.
There are utensils and sauces on the tables in case you need hot sauce.
They have a lot of water glasses on a side table with 2 types of water taps for plain and bubbly in case your face starts on fire i guess from the heat.
You pay up front and they bring it to you.
I doubt i’ll drive this far from the west end enough times to get their spice system down pat so i ordered everything mild/​medium as i read they understate everything.
You can always make stuff hotter later but you can’t un-​spice things.
The soup turned out to be much like a spicy phở broth with small thick beef pieces, vegetables and flat noodles .
It was pretty complex and very good.
It wasn’t very spicy at all though so i ladled in a bunch of sambal olek to crank it up.
I’ll have to add more to this review after i eat the other dishes.

We love Noodle Box!!! My friend and I go here for lunch all the time, and they never disappoint. Food is fresh, always tasty and great portions. Highly recommend!

The spice scale is hotter than usual. Tried numerous items on different occasions. Food is generally bland aside from being spicy. Everything is fresh and clean though

So delicious! Portion sizes are big and the food is absolutely amazing. They try to use local food which is also a big plus. Sooooo good!

I don’t know why it took me so long to try noodle box… possibly because there are so many restaurants in that part of sherwood park and the place is simply called noodle box, but once I did try it is was pleasantly surprised.
I like my food spicy, so I ordered my satay noodle box spicy… the guy behind the counter launched into a questioning period of ‘have you eaten here before’ and ‘are you sure you want it that hot ‘… he recommended I only get it as medium hot. He was right, medium hot was perfect… they chop Thai red chillies into your bowl, so the hotter you request, the more chillies they add. I wouldn’t have wanted more than I got.
The bowl I got was delicious and I can’t wait to go back and have it again.

I have dined here on many occasions now,.Nice place.
Trendy.
Fresh. Flavorfull. Filling.
I have sampled most of their noodle dishes, several sides, and some of the daily specials.
Food looked great.
Fresh. Flavourfull. Pretty damn good.
I am always surprised how full I get.
Doesn’t happen this fast often. I feel they should have half order sizes… but they don’t appear to.
Sadly, my biggest point of contention of late is their inconsistant application of their spice. I always stick with a mere 1 on their scale. Several time now I have gotten home woth my take-​out only to find that the dishes are hot enough to set my tastebuds ablaze. Given the range of spice they offer… the really so need to be carefull. It gets damn hot. Had I been dining in on these occassions… they certainly would have beem remaking my meals.
Regardless…I’ll be back.
It is indeed quite good.

Delicious! I was looking for the exact flavour I got here today. Spice was on point and the portions were huge. I can’t wait to come back and try the next item on the menu. I ordered the peanut bowl and my son ordered the Tom yum soup. He ordered his hot and was warned at that time about the heat. He still wanted it hot and wasn’t disappointed. My dish was a mild/​medium and it was perfect. Fresh. Flavorful. If that’s what you like. You should eat here.

Coconut noodle dish was awesome… Spiced perfect and the staff were super nice … I’ll be back for sure

Excellent! Ordered the Kung Pao Tofu at medium hot. My eyes are watering nicely. Really delicious. I’m looking forward to trying more selections in the future. Presentation was thoughtful and appealing. Nice atmosphere and décor. Owner is approachable and seems very proud of his establishment.
My partner ordered the Coconut Curry Noodles with chicken at medium. He enjoyed his meal very much.

GREAT fresh and exciting food with a fusion of flavors not readily available. Clean. Emphasis on recycling and frowns on waste. Efficient. GREAT options and very desirable tastes and entrees. Affordable. Would help of front counter service was always helpful and energetic and pleasant and warm. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Would help if could eat outside — tables, umbrellas, etc. Would also help if they advertised. Great place to eat. Sherwood Park is lucky to have it.

Awesome! Been here a dozen times and absolutely love it. My only complaint would be that the spice level isn’t consistent. Also don’t get the spring rolls because you only get 2 for $ 6.50. Everything else is Devine!

Absolutely amazing food!!! It’s a great change from traditional fast Asian food. Great service, they recommended what I should order and the level of spiciness. I will be back lots. Please do yourself a favor and try it.

Really enjoyed our first experience here. The staff came around the counter and went through menu options/​choices and spice/​heat ratings. Food is made fresh daily, sauce made from scratch daily and they were more than happy to accommodate menu switches for my daughter. Food was excellent and fresh. Will definitely return!

I came here today for a late lunch after reading such positive reviews. Needless to say, I was disappointed with both service and food.
When I walked in, there was just one other customer eating at a table. Being this was my first time eating here, I had to take a minute to stand at the front to review the menu board overhead. There was a gentleman (possibly the owner?) standing at the cashier waiting for my order. I told him it was going to be a minute or two as i had to review the menu. In the meantime, a couple walked in and strolled right up to the till to order. Fine. By the time they were done ordering, I was ready. I decided to try the Cambodian spring rolls & Thai green curry. The gentleman asked me what kind of protein I wanted and what spice level? So I asked for beef and mild. He immediately responded that I could expect the curry to be very spicy at least a 5 on the scale of heat. Alarmed, I second guessed myself. I told him I’d had green curry plenty of times before from authentic Thai restaurants throughout the city, to which he replied if it wasn’t spicy then they didn’t make it right — «Thai green curry uses green chilies so it’s supposed to be spicy and if it isn’t then it wasn’t made right». He seemed very annoyed he had to explain and educate these things to me. So after he scared me how spicy the curry was I decided to change my mind and instead ordered the Pad Thai noodles. But before I finalized the order, I inquired about the Thai style Chow Mein and asked what exactly it was. He then proceeds to «educate» me that it’s just like Chinese style so «If I’ve ever had Chinese style chow mein it’s pretty much the same except with basil» (Um excuse me? What’s with the attitude? And you can clearly see that I’m of Asian descent — Chinese actually –so yes I have had Chow Mein many times since I was young, heck i’ve even made it so please don’t speak to me like i’m an idiot). Anyways, I decided to stick with the Pad Thai with Chicken after that explanation. The gentleman felt he needed to warn me once again that the spice level of this dish was a 4 because of the red chili. Fine. I paid and sat down and waited. When the food finally arrived, I was surprised to see must how anemic my Pad Thai looked. The rice noodles were barely coated with sauce — they were sticky and needed a lot more sauce to make these taste good. The ratio of noodles to toppings was large — I basically ate biteful after biteful of noodles and every so often was lucky to get a piece of veggie, egg, or even chicken (I think I counted 8 small bite-​size pieces of chicken throughout the whole bowl). Also, the spiciness level was surprisingly so little — what heat?! — that his forewarning made me laugh — I should’ve ordered the Green Curry after all.
It was disappointing. Also, the Cambodian spring rolls never arrived because the same gentleman thought I wavered on those and so didn’t order them for me even though he apologized and said he should’ve asked — he didn’t.
I didn’t have enough time to finish eating my Pad Thai so I got a take out box to put the leftovers in.
I’m disappointed in the whole experience. I was wanting someone to welcome me warmly to this new & exciting establishment, to take the time to tell me what the values were for this business — it looks like they believe in sustainable products? But then again i’m not sure. I wanted to know the story behind this place and I got none of that. I feel like the owners think they have a great knowledge of Southeast Asian cuisine — probably because they’ve travelled there before, and I suspect many a time.
The place itself was too cold with air conditioning and the music being played overhead was Oldies diner music. How strange and mis-​matched to the food and surroundings.
The set-​up of the establishment is nice with an open-​style kitchen, a long wood communal table, some high top tables, and window seats and floor to ceiling windows on 2 sides of the place which brings in lots of natural light.
Overall, I would be very hesitant to return after this very disappointing experience in both service & food.

Guys this place is amazing!!! Right in Baseline Village in Sherwood Park, Noodlebox serves just that… noodle boxes. There are stir fry and curry options (so yes, some have rice) but the coolest thing is that everything is made fresh in the store daily. This means their sauces don’t come in big plastic bags that are trucked in from around the world. All of the meat and produce is locally sourced! How amazing is that for a fast food place?! It’s like an Asian version of what Tres Carnales does for Mexican food. Their spice levels have more kick that normal, so if you like mega heat you will definitely feel it with their Scorching Hot level. The staff is super friendly and we were given a full breakdown of the menu and how everything works upon entering.
Such a great little spot with a great vibe inside. They have some high top tables and then one super long one that seats 16!
Stop here next time you’re in Sherwood Park! Do it!

I was counting down the days for this location to open and I was not disappointed!
I’ve been eating at Victoria Noodle Box (s) since 2008 it’s always been one of my favorites. The staff is welcoming and knowledgable and the food is incredible. I can finally have my noodle box more than semi-​annually!

The staff were very friendly and informed us how the menu worked and that some of the ingredients are locally sourced!
The teriyaki bowl was flavourful with lots of noodles. Never had pad Thai before so not sure if that is what it is supposed to taste like. Skip the root beer, it has no «bite».
The bowls were really big and provided lunch the next day!
