I'm a fan of Noodlefan.
It's affordable-ish (though nothing beats Spice), it's actually really tasty (I hope there's no MSG), and it's a fancier alternative to the "Let's just get takeout Chinese" conversation I tend to have on Sundays.
The chicken wings are pretty legit though I can't really justify paying more than $1 for 1/2 wing. But the noodle dishes are bomb, as suggested by the name Noodlefan.
Now is it Drunken Noodle or Drunk man Noodle?
I called it DRUNK MAN noodle and the lady laughed at me.
Girl, bye.
Go laugh at the white couple who arrived with their adopted Asian children and took over most of the seating creating a makeshift "Children's corner" in the restaurant. HA.
Very comfy ambience, very friendly staff… Had the Thai ice tea which I die for. It was good, for appetizer we had Thai wings they were nice and sweet but not overly sweet. For the main course my fiancé had pad see ew with shrimp. He liked the dish, only thing he wish he had more of was the soy sauce. But that's just his personal taste.
I had a spicy beef combo soup. I needed to ask for hot sauce Bc I did not find the spice in it at all. But once they gave me some of there hot sauce it was amazing! I would go back just for that hot sauce lol! The beef was also very good it had different assortment of different cuts of meat. Very filling and I could not finish it in one sitting the portion was pretty big.
We had fried banana with coconut ice cream for desert and boy oh boy that coconut ice cream was just grand! I just generally love the fried banana but the ice cream was so delicate and sweet very good way to end our meal. We had a 3 course meal and the bill wasn't more then 40 and it was great food. Highly recommend if you want to try something different in the heights area.
There are an abundance of Spanish places on central ave so this little gem is great to switch it up!
I am a fan! I had their pad thai with shrimp and it was good. Not GREAT… but good
Tonight, I went for the shrimp rolls (YUMMMYYYY) the the Spaghetti Thai Basil with Tofu and YUMMMEEERRRS! So spicy, so full of spice and SO GOOD! AND when I arrived (on a snow day), I was unable to tie my dog in the front, so the woman came outside, got my card, came back with my food and waited outside (in the cold) for me to sign off.
SPOT ON
So – spot on service, spot on spicy, spot on apps..
it was just disappointing that their pad thai was average… I know that is picky, but that is how I judge all Thai places.
Other than that – I would recommend this place… very highly
I came here on a Tuesday night for dinner. There are about 7 different tables, and 3 of them were full. Service was really quick, which was great because I was hungry!
We ordered a Thai Tea and hot jasmine tea, both of which were perfect. I ordered Pad Se Ew with beef, which lovely and traditional. It was a nice amount and included a hefty portion of meat. My boyfriend got the noodle soup with beef. It was great, really interested – it tasted a bit like pho, actually.
We would definitely come back here!
This is my go-to Thai place as its one of the best in the Heights. It's nice & quiet & modern inside too.
They don't yet deliver but they offer pick-up which works for me.
The best I've tried has got to be the Crispy Salmon chefs special. I get it every time and I hear others ordering it too when I go. It's perfect crispy salmon nuggets in a Peking style duck sauce. It's heavenly. You can also get it with sticky rice which makes it so much more fun to eat. Otherwise, the pad Thai is a safe bet – nothing spectacular but pretty good. And the pineapple fried rice is also pretty good. I have yet to try their curries but I look forward to it next time!
3.888 stars.
I actually walked 3 miles round trip to get to this establishment. _This food better be worth it,_ I thought to myself after the 23-minute journey back home. (Curse, you, Fitbit, for goading me into obtaining my 10,000 steps per day. But that's another story…)
Thank goodness the drunken noodles with chicken I had ordered lived up to the very positive reviews previous Yelpers have posted. I was able to discern the basil and chili from the many ingredients in their concoction, a task that many similar Thai-inspired eateries in the NJ/NY/CT tri-state area have difficulty accomplishing with success. With respect to flavors, I would consider the dish to be more on the light tangy side as opposed to spicy, but that is certainly not necessarily a negative critique. Most importantly, the noodles were neither bathed in grease nor bombarded with a large amount of monosodium glutamate or any other salt.
I have one particular gripe, which is why I did not bestow this establishment a full four stars. I did not have any cash on me that night, and this place enforces a $10 minimum on credit cards a little too strictly. My order came out to $9.63 including tax, and instead of just allowing me to charge that amount, the cute, friendly girl at the counter hesitated, then conned me into buying a can of ginger ale for $1.50. I rarely ever drink soda, but at least she apologized for not having water.
Oh well, I don't hate them for it by any means. 888 is a very lucky number in Chinese circles, anyway, haha. If you happen to be flying solo for your meal, just make sure you have sufficient cash on you.
Good Thai food, a bit on the salty side (not their fault, as I for some reason generally find most Thai places salty).
Ordered Tom Yum Soup, delicious and good serving of shrimp! Chicken Pad Thai and beef pad see ew and they were both delicious, well cooked, and just right serving size for price.
Did not eat in, but when I went to go pick up the inside decor was cute, clean and modern. Very excited to see this part of JC developing and opening up with awesome food and drink places! JC #MakeItYours!!!
So awesome, place is a small restaurant, and is on the side of the avenue that is usually difficult to find parking, but I came for a late dinner around 8ish and found parking down the block. I was seated by the lady at the register and I told her what I wanted which was the beef noodle soup and Thai ice tea, food came out under 10 min and let me tell you the beef cubes in the noodle soup were so good! It was also my first time having Thai ice tea and I wasn't expecting a milky type drink but it was that! Not bad actually! …the beef noodle soup was so good I even ordered another one to go, everything came up to $24.96, including tip..a must try if you want noodle soup other than ramen or pho
