Noodle Bar

omg omg omg!!! i rediscovered this place after 10 years!!! literally 10 years!!! its amazing… do not buy the haters comments. its cheap and its amazing for food on the way home from a night out. the portions are massive and really tasty!

In here with my friend being tortured, as I’m not eating here as I’m trying to lose weight.
The food has always been great in here. Because I’m trying g to lose weight my smell senses are stronger. The food smells amazing compared to what I remember eating as.
The food portions are always a good size.
The staff are always lovely and friendly.
It is situated in a very busy place on Sauchiehall street near a concert venues, theatre, pubs and clubs.
This place I think is open until 3 or 4 in the morning. You need to at least visit here to give your own review. I’ll add few pics
For the record. The category is wrong on this page. It’s Chinese food, not Japanese
I had to edit my review based on the last 5 minutes of being in here. Food still lovely and so on, but when I went to use the toilets, I lightly twisted my left ankle on broken tiles that need fixed.
And the toilets look like toilets from a prison. I’ll post the pics. Please fix the tile before someone has an accident. And the toilets only need TLC. Great place but these need fixed.

The Noodle Bar is a place I highly recommend.
Being named «The Noodle Bar» does really give you the impression of what their strength is, Noodles.
They loose a star off me because their rice is atrocious — to be blunt but it isn’t called «The Rice Bar» is it?
I am a real lover of their Chicken Noodle Soup as the broth (or stock if you’re a toff) is simply unique and flavorsome, The chicken is immense and the noodles are never Too soft or too hard they are just the way Goldie locks likes it, Just right.
If you are up Sauchiehall Street and fancy some fast, cheap, tasty grub definitely give this place a try.

It’s amazing how you see things different when you are sober. Dirty smelly public toilets in here that the staff also use. The chicken chow mein that I’ve seen more meat on a sparrows kneecap. The smell in the restaurant section reminds me of an old folks home but worse the smell of urine and that’s just the restaurant part. Avoid at all costs

Noodle Bar seems to be a Sauchiehall Street icon for those who enjoy a good club night out, and that is all it portrays. You queue up, you order what you want, and you’re given a number on a ticket. You then wait, the time depending on your meal and the size of the queue, and you get your food.
I was here the other night after a roller disco at SWG3 and it was surprisingly my first time. Shows you how often I’m clubbing in Glasgow!
I ordered the duck with Thai curry sauce and rice, and was a bit disappointed with it all. The place is quite dirty, the atmosphere is horrible as it’s filled with drunken idiots mostly, and the staff weren’t particularly pleasant. The duck meat was lovely but the rice was chewy and the sauce was lukewarm. All in all quite a disappointing visit, so I probably won’t return.

Hot, delicious food, quickly made and served in-​house or as take-​away. One of the best Chinese eating experiences in Glasgow outside of the Amber Regent retaurant! A must!

Their Black Bean sauce is out of this world. I dunno how they do it. Well, I’m under no illusions really, no doubt there is a tonne of MSG in there, not to mention a bucket of salt, but it really is soo good. That combined with the delicious Char Siu and crispy fresh veggies, it’s a winner every time.
Noodle bar seems to be open 24 – 7, so caters for everyone, business types at lunch and the Sauchiehall drunks at night.
The portions are huge so you can easily split it with a mate… but remember, if taken as a late night treat, do take a pint of water to bed with you… you’ll need it when you wake up.
Also, the toilets are reminiscent of that scene in Trainspotting. Love every bit of this joint though, so much character.

Food isn’t bad but the place is always an absolute riot when the clubs come out.

I love this place, granted I often get the same thing over and over again but they do it so well and so quickly and I can’t ask for anything more than that. Check it out

CHIPS, CHEEEEESE AND CURRY SAUCE

(Dont go upstairs to the toilets you’ll freeze)

Noodle Bar was my haunt until I discovered Steak and Cherry just across the road, and we had a pretty good relationship. After the Garage, we would sometimes literally stumble and fall in the door of the Noodly-​ist place I know, and order some of the Chinese loveliness that all Glaswegians should try at least once in their lives.
You queue up, you order something (my usual is kung po chicken with rice) and take a raffle ticket. Then ensues a rabble of people shouting numbers, drunk people getting numbers wrong and shouting at the people who work there and people falling asleep at the table before their number is called.
If/​when you do get a meal, it’s snaffled down in record time. I don’t even know if it’s good. What I do know is that I won’t be ordering the prawns again, unfortunately. Enough said.
If you want to visit the toilets, be prepared to climb steep, metal steps to loos which look as though they are in someone’s hallway. I was scared, put it that way.
Not a bad post pub establishment, but the feeling of being in a cattle market and standing scoffing a tray of curry sauce soaked rice doesn’t fill me with joy at 3am.

I was off to the ABC2 to hear some good choons, and it got suggested we go to the Noodle Bar for eats beforehand. Ooh, haven’t been there in donkeys years, says I; because I work in Edinburgh these days, I don’t get a chance to nip into my old fave Glesga munchy eaty places, so this idea was pretty sweet.
Since the last time I was here (aaaages!), the décor on the walls hasn’t changed one iota, but the seating has improved, with a couple of big round tables in the middle: great for groups. The food is just as cheap and just as good as it always was. The portions are more than ample, and served fairly promptly by the friendly staff.
Considering how many Chinese food places there are in the city centre, it’s great to find one that is still cheap *and* good! Ideally placed near the Charing X end of the main shoppy bit of Sauchiehall Street, it’s brilliant for grabbing lunch while at work or doing some weekend shopping, or nipping in for a quick meal before or after a sesh or gig nearby.
(Keep going) TO THE NOODLE BAR!

Ah The Noodle Bar is a firm favourite of mine, for a good munch after an evening at Sleazy’s. Situated in the middle of Sauchiehall Street, near the busies pubs and clubs, the owners of this place must do very well for themselves.
Although it’s a post booze and boogie eatery, the food is of a much higher standard than most places of this nature. The huge menu offers a variety of dishes that can be customised to your preference.
Customers are given a raffle ticket style order number, and much to my amusement, order numbers are called through a microphone in an MC stylee. Despite the massive queues, service is speedy and smiley, and the food is always good. I love Noodle Bar.

The Noodle Bar is a Glasgow institution — at least for clubbers. It’s fine dining for the intoxicated cast from the clubs and onto the streets at 2−3am after a long night’s dancing.
It’s not the greatest rice and noodles you’ll ever eat, but usually, under the circumstances, it hits the spot. Quite greasy but the prices are reasonable and it’s basically a sit-​in version of every other take-​away in the Charing Cross area. It’s within stumbling distance of Garage, ABC, and more, which makes it absolutely perfect!
One thing, though: I wouldn’t use the loos if I were you, even if you are absolutely desperate.

Noodle Bar is a decent place to sit and eat after a hard night of dancing (somewhere to get food AND give your feet a rest… amazing). The food is kinda greasy (much like the clientele… ewww), but it certainly does the trick. And the ticketing system means no one can push in front of you, which is always a plus, especially as some of the people inside look like they would kill you if they pushed you out the way…
Angry staff though. Maybe it was just a bad day?

It’s nearly impossible to find anything open past midnight, so this place is a godsend for its 5am closing. Perfect for when you come out of a club starving or find yourself with late night cravings, a nice massive bowl of soup noodles, oodon, pork or beef will get you warmed up and re-​energised quick. And the service is quite quick, if not always cheerful. The food is pretty cheap too, and if you make it there during daylight hours they have lunch special. Lamentably, their beverages are limited to bottled water, Irn Bru and Coke.
It might not be anything special, but there are times when you just don’t feel like anything fried, and this is a welcome alternative to the chippy.

I used to mostly go to the Noodle Bar after coming out from a club and being absolutely starving, as you always are after a few drinks. Everytime I went I thought it was great so I decided to try it during the day and yet again I loved it. It’s cheap, cheerful food so don’t expect some fine dining because you will certainly be disappointed. For around £4 you get a huge portion of chicken fried rice, enough to feed two and it’s really tasty. They do a good selection of food ribs, rice, noodles etc and they will make something for you specially, if you don’t want a certain ingredient in your meal. Great if your looking for a cheap, quick bite to eat.

I’ve only ever eaten here in a drunken state after sampling Sauchiehall Street’s nightlife so maybe that has coloured my judgement of the place, but I hate it! The thing I hate the most is that when you’ve ordered they give you a raffle ticket and you have to sit there (or more likely stand, as if you’re not fast you’re last when it comes to bagging yourself a table) waiting with your fingers crossed for the moment they’ll call out your lucky number and you can wrestle your way to the counter. It’s not very civilised, to say the least! Although what do I expect when I go out to eat at 3am? I have to admit the food is pretty good and they serve a wide variety of noodles, chips etc. So if you can justify to yourself spending £6 on food you have to eat out of a polystyrene tub while sitting on the pavement waiting for your taxi home then by all means it’s a good option for late night grub.

I know some people think this place is just somewhere a bit skanky that you go for food afte a drunken night out, but I love it! I’ve went back during the day a number of times and the food has always been lovely. The curry sauce is great and their noodles are amazing.
It doesn’t look very pretty and they serve the food on paper plates, but if you’re not bothered about your surroundings and just want something lovely and cheap to eat when your on Sauchiehall Street, then I’d definitely recomend it.
