Noodle World

Every time I come here, I order the same thing. I always get the combo phở. This dish is like an all beef dish, and of course they bring the little plate of vegetables. And I don’t know if this is new, but they brought a little cup of Hoisen sauce. I though that was cute. For some reason, the beef balls taste different from before… but over all this place is great.

I do not understand why this place was so crowded when I went. I’ve tried this place only twice — one time my friend ordered to go for a small gathering at her place and the second time was last week. The first time I tried it, it was decent.
The second time, I ate at the restaurant. We ordered the deep fried chicken wings, the spicy spaghetti (seafood) and their chicken tom kah. Gross, gross and gross.
I have never tried chicken tom kah but it looked good from the Unilocal pictures. Looks are deceiving.
The seafood spaghetti was dry and needed more sauce and flavor.
The deep fried chicken wings were dry and tasted «old» — prob used dirty old oil.

Noodle world has been a staple in my life for the past 12 years. Actually probably more. Super solid noodle place. Lots of variety. Huge portions. Fast service.
We always get the Rad Nah — Thai style w/​chicken. This used to be Thai style a couple years ago and then they changed the ingredients. Never fear — just ask for it Thai style, and the staff knows what that means. It’s a flat rice noodle stir fried dish (and we love it because it has AWESOME wok flavor, something hard for some restaurants to achieve), topped with some brown sauce, bell peppers, basil, meat of your choice, and mushrooms. It comes a little spicy, but you can ask for the spiciness level to be adjusted. The Thai style has different veggies than the version in the menu, and it comes with basil for that fresh aromatic taste — mm!
We also always get the spicy spaghetti w/​beef — mainly because I’m just a big kid and spaghetti is always tasty to me.
The pineapple fried rice is another go-​to. It comes with pork, a few pieces of shrimp, pineapples (for the natural sweetness tho be warned they use a mixture of canned and fresh pineapples), raisins, and cashews (for that nutty yumminess)!
We also like the chicken satay and the hainan chicken (not your typical hainan chicken — it’s fried!).
Do yourself a favor and don’t get shaved ice here. It’s mediocre and there are way better shaved ice places in the area. Come for the noodles and the big portions. Definitely worth your $$$

I recommend to only come here when you’re in the «cheap and don’t really care» mood. I personally would never choose to come here, I end up here when someone else in my party wants to eat here. If I want something cheap and easy, I can think of many other options I’d prefer.
Whatever food and bad service, even by Asian standards. But it’ll save you some money. Portions are pretty big for what you pay.

Had this horrible wonton noodle soup, never have I had such a bland wonton and flavorless noodle. Only good thing is that they open late. I only come here as last resort. Their non soup dishes are better but in general its not a place you would go to for quality food. Just easy, cheap, and fast.

Noodles! Noodles! Get ya Noodles here!
This places lives up to it’s name. There are a TON of different noodle dishes to choose from. The main thing that sticks out to me about Noodle World is that they have different ethnic noodle dishes (Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc.). Great when you are going with friends/​family and you can’t decide on what type of food you want, but you are all okay with noodles!
Con: The service is disappointing. Be proactive in seeking your server to order, get a drink refill, or the check to leave. In some cases, it’ll be faster to walk up to the front and pay.
Tip: If you are going with friends, consider ‘Family Style’ ordering. There is such a variety of options to choose from why only stick to one dish?
If the customer service was better would of easily scored a 4/5…but until then…

I’ll usually come by here once a year… To remind myself WHY I come by here once a year.
The food is alright. Large portions are served and the prices are cheap. It feels like a place to go and fill your hungry belly at 1 in the morning rather than a place to go to for a quality tasting meal. All in all, nothing to write home about. It gets the job done if you’re hungry.
It gets pretty crowded, even late into the evening. The place is pretty big and can accommodate large groups– which is nice. Their service, however, is pretty horrible.
Service is pretty typical for one of these big, Asian, quick, late night eating places. I’ve seen customers wait. Try and give a server «the look» …wait some more. And finally grab whatever worker is walking by just to say they never got their plate of food.
The servers seem to be working with BLINDERS (those things they put on horses to block their field of vision) on the side of their heads. It’s pretty funny to watch these guys make a beeline from point A to point B while actively ignoring every single customer trying to get their attention for some sort of assistance. I’ve learned to just ask for the check immediately after the server delivers the last plate of food because I already know I’ll never get help from another person again.
They’re pretty SLOPPY when it comes to customer service and work ethic. This one young busboy dropped a dish, picked it up and on his way up knocked over a full glass of water which splashed everywhere, wetting people at a couple of tables, and never even batted an eye or apologized or turned around to even acknowledge that it occurred.
I would give this place a 3, but that would mean that this place broke even in my book. Food is just okay and the service is SUBPAR. Maybe they can hire a couple people and improve their service someday.

I was very hesitant to come back, but I’m glad I did. The uncleanliness was not appealing & definitely not appetizing. However, they recently remodeled! Food is the same comfort Thai food. You can’t go wrong with the pad see ew! The Tom Yum soup & spicy spaghetti are good too if you like some spice. Unfortunately, service hasn’t changed though; mediocre, but they’re open late & great for a late night bite. You can always get it to-​go!

Prices are reasonable and good size portions.
Their combo phở and noodle world phở tastes alright and nothing extraordinary but is packed with lots of noodles and meat.
The fried pork egg rolls wrapped with lettuce dipped in sweet sauce is so yummy I have to order everytime I stop by here.
Today I tried the Thai BBQ chicken with tomato rice and it wasn’t bad just wasn’t as good as from a Thai restaurant.

OVERRATED
Came here thinking it was going to be delicious. No wait since it was a huge restaurant. Ordered their Wonton house special rice noodle soup, and their Tom Young Chicken Soup.
The good:
Big portions for the $ value
Parking lot
Takes plastic
The bad:
Broth was so bland for both noodle dishes. I pretty much ate everything drenched in hoison.
Never coming back for a noodle fix, ill stick to my cup of noodle microwaved at home. sadly it has more flavor than this place.

Definitely not a fan. This place is so big which therefore means they should have more waiters. It looks like they do, but this place gets so busy that the waiters are non-​existent. Servers here are extremely slow and it’s so hard to get their attention.
I don’t think the noodles here are authentic. It’s Americanized which is why I feel like this place is never filled with Asians, it’s filled with other ethnicities.
I got the vegetable phở. It was filled with tofu, carrots and greens. They give you really big portions of noodles. I’m a really slow eater, so by the time I was in the middle of finishing up my phở, the noodles got all soggy. It was gross. Plus there’s no point to give such big portion of noodles when there’s not enough broth. The broth was pretty much all soaked up when I was halfway done with my bowl. The taste wasn’t good, I could have made better phở at home and I don’t cook at all.
Mom got the Thai boat noodles. We didn’t know what Thai boat noodles were, but we were confused when it came out as phở noodles. I thought Thai noodles were different than phở noodles? She might as well have ordered beef phở or something. It was gross and again, there were too many noodles!
Wouldn’t come back here. Ever. Bad & slow service. Food is Americanized, I’d rather go to a legit place that specializes in Vietnamese noodles, and a legit place for Thai food, Chinese food, etc…

4 Stars, satisfies the late night cravings!
Service: Nothing special in particular, not bad. There is a little language barrier sometimes if you’re calling to order on the phone but that’s not really a problem for me.
Food:
I really enjoy the beef spaghetti! My boyfriend usually kills it so fast because he loves it. The satay hand rolls are also pretty good. I recently for the lettuce chicken wrap and it was yummy! Nothing to complain about the food. I know they have boba drinks here. I’ll be back to try the Thai Tea Float.
This place is pretty poppin’ even at midnight. There’s a security guard that walks around the place. I know they have a parking lot but sometimes it gets filled up, so you have to park on the street sometimes.

I love noodles –all types of noodles, thus why this place is great when you can’t choose just one. They have every kind of Asian noodle from Chinese chow meins, Japanese ramens, Vietnamese phở, Italian spaghetti, and more! Their portions are also hefty, so you’re definitely getting the most of it here. The flavors are great and they have so many spicies to choose from on the table. The problem with this place is that there’s always a wait. In addition, the service isn’t the greatest and it took forever to get the attention of a waiter for anything.
On the most recent visit, my family of four ordered the Chicken Wrap ($ 8.25), which is a favorite of my mom’s. It’s a great appetizer (although they seem to always bring out your appetizers AFTER you’ve finished your main course). You get half a wedge of iceberg lettuce, and wrap each leaf with the ground chicken, cucumber sauce, pickled carrots and oyster sauce –delicious! We also ordered the Pork Miso Ramen ($ 7.75), which was pretty basic with your typical pork, seaweed, beansprouts. Another order was the Pad See Ew ($ 7.95), which is a personal favorite of mine but that’s my go-​to Thai dish anywhere. Our fourth order was the Garlic Spare Ribs ($ 8.50), which was flavorful and paired well with the steamed rice for the non-​noodle option. We were left with plenty of leftovers, but decided to also try the Mango Sticky Rice ($ 7.50). I loved the coconut milk over the sticky rice and the fresh mangoes to pair, but the pricetag is a bit high.
Overall, nothing is spectacular, but this is a great option for a good variety and decent food.

I like the Noodle World locations in general and they have similar dishes here to the others. This one needs a little work though to update the interior. Getting seated was fast but service needs work. They get busy but once your order is in the servers had to be virtually tackled as they rushed through the different tables, you next chance is when they drop the food off and your requests get missed. For example we asked for water about 5 times before we gave up and some extra napkins never made it. The food is consistent with the other locations. I like their Chicken Satay Rolls are pretty awesome. Their Pad See Ew and Spicy Spaghetti is also really good. Their boba drinks are also tasty.
Overall though I prefer the San Marino location even though its smaller, the customer service is better and their food might be a bit better too.

Gotta show some love to this Noodle World.
Revisited last night while home for the weekend and was really surprised I never left a review for this place. This was the place to go at night and with big groups back in my high school days. Food is always consistent and nicely portioned– not to mention very reasonably priced. Furthermore, I remember doing many food runs here when I would stay up too late studying and miss dinner. It’s one of the better places open past 12 am.
My go to dishes are definitely fried hainam chicken, spicy spaghetti, and pad see ew. The hainam chicken has amazing flavor and comes with a bed of delicious garlic rice and a wonderfully complimenting sauce. It also comes with a light soup and is probably the dish I order most often. The spicy spaghetti is popular with many of my friends as well as myself. It’s not too spicy and has a nice balance of flavors– topped with mushroom, basil, and your choice of meat. Really delicious and one portion is enough for two meals. Lastly, the pad see ew is excellent for its price and very worth ordering.
Give this place a try and definitely come here for your late night eats!

Noodle world is the perfect place to go to when you don’t know what you want to eat. Is it going to be egg noodles or phở? Hainan chicken or curry? Noodle world has it all.
Going in to write this review, I wasn’t sure if I was going to rate them 3 or 4 stars. Decided to stick to 3 stars because of the service when dining in and how their food isn’t always consistent.
Go to dishes are wonton noodle soup (with egg noodles), Hainan chicken, beef stew noodles. The garlic rice served with the Hainan Chicken is BOMB DOT COM. Egg rolls are also good to get as an appetizer too.
Parking space shouldn’t be a problem unless they get mad busy!

Your average Asian American restaurant that has all the different ethnic food like Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Chinese, and more. Come here if you cannot make up your mind on what to eat.
Noodle world is known for their spicy spaghetti with your choice of meat. They offer meat substitutions. They take card or cash and open late. It’s not my favorite Asian food but once in a blue moon I come here to have that spicy spaghetti or Thai food. The Vietnamese food here is not so authentic in my opinion just go eat at a Vietnamese restaurant if you are craving it.

Restaurant Ambience:
Casual and loud. Every time I come here it’s always packed. They have booth seating and they can pull together tables for big groups.
Food:
The food is alright. They definitely specialize in variety. I try something different every time I come here and it’s pretty mediocre. This past visit I had the charbroiled pork with vermicelli and it was actually pretty good. It’s similar to the Bún tht nng. Their thai beef salad is not bad either. I didn’t like the stir fried udon or the pad thai I had last time. This place may be a hit or miss.
Service:
Fast moving restaurant so they take your order fast and your food comes out fast. I like that but you better come prepared with your order!
Noodle World is not a first choice restaurant for me when I’m craving Asian food. However, they do open late so its a good late night option!

It was 11pm Christmas day, And this was one Of the few places open. The prices were good. The food was mediocre. The service was blah; the normal asian «I can care less if you come back» attitude.
This place is like a Thai noodle house, but it has a large menu with different options. It has soups, noodle and rice dishes.
I don’t see myself coming back any time soon, but it’s helpful that it’s open until 2am.

When you encounter a restaurant that serves Vietnamese AND Thai AND Chinese AND Japanese cuisine and is open until late at night, that should seriously raise some eyebrows regarding the quality and authenticity of the food. I don’t care what you people say; I am sticking to my opinion on this one. I came here with a few friends at night. We waited around 20 minutes for us to get seated, and we waited another 15 minutes or so after being seated to place our orders. We ordered two orders of Spicy Pan Fried Noodles and one order of the garlic spare ribs.
I know this is a restaurant that «specializes» (and I use that term VERY LOOSELY…) in noodle dishes, but the garlic spare ribs was seriously inedible. It was more gristle than anything; I ate about a third of my dish before disgust finally set in and I gave up eating it. The Spicy Pan Fried Noodles was mediocre at best, your choice of chicken or pork with a variety of vegetables such as tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and peppers with a copious serving of oil. The only upside to this place is that the portion sizes are quite generous. But who wants to eat a large quantity of unsavory food?
Not keen on returning here unless someone REALLY wants to eat here, and I’d still try to talk them into eating elsewhere.
