I'm glad I finally got to try Reckless Noodle! I don't find myself outside the main Seattle areas…read moreoften, but Reckless Noodle was definitely worth the venture. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, and even though their kitchen was backed up with orders, they did their best to serve us quickly and the food was still top notch. The marine-like atmosphere was also fun and made dinner really casual and enjoyable. We got some of the best sellers, the bo la lot, the ma la beef cheek noodles, and the Hokkien wok noodles, and they were all a hit. I enjoyed the different Asian-fusion dishes they had from different cultures as well as their wide selection of drinks. The dishes were all very rich and flavorful, and you get a good amount to share for the price. It was the perfect place to eat while chatting and catching up with a friend. I really enjoyed my meal here and will definitely make the trip out here again.

Well played! The…read morefour of us used the waitlist process to get a table and it worked flawlessly. We encountered very friendly staff upon arrival/seating. As mentioned in other reviews, we also experienced a unique and relaxed atmosphere. They had some good local draft options to get started - which is good. We ordered the Bo La Lot Grilled Beed in Betel Leaf for an appetizer and we loved the combination of ingredients and taste. Our brides ordered the Chaca La Vong Wok Seared Tumeric Rockfish and they both enjoyed it. My son ordered the Pad Kee Mao and I went with the Reckless Fried Rice and we both devoured them! Our waitress (her name wasn't on the receipt) was outstanding....super friendly and patient with all of our questions regarding the menu.

Since my last review the restaurant has closed and reopened, and expanded their menu, to now include more dumplings and varieties of noodles. They also now have a very handy duo of ordering kiosks, which you order at prior to sitting down. I found their kiosks easy to use, which isn't always a given. This being my first visit back in a while, I had to get the spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles. However I had to try some dumplings, so we shared the lamb dumplings, while my dinner buddy had the spicy cumin lamb rice noodle soup (the same kind of noodles you'd get at a ten second yunnan noodle type of place). They also now have a complimentary side dish bar that has seaweed salad, peanuts, and kimci, as well as some condiment type things like scallions and minced garlic. I helped myself to some seaweed salad to nibble on while waiting for our food, and it was good although food comes out quickly enough that you don't necessarily have to rely on it unless you're really chomping at the bit. The spicy cumin lamb biang biang noodles are just as good as I remember. The biang biang noodles here are perfectly chewy, and the rest of the dish has a lovely flavor aside from just spice. They're generous with lamb and cabbage which add a lot of textural variety to the plate. The lamb dumplings were the sleeper hit of the meal, filled with juicy, tender hunks of lamb surrounded by toothsome clearly hand-rolled wrappers. Absolutely do not skip the lamb dumplings. My dinner buddy really enjoyed her rice noodle soup with spicy cumin lamb, which I think would be a great option on a cold day. Everything is pretty much self serve here, so don't expect full service -- although they did stop by to refill our water once. The food here is so good, though, and prices are so reasonable, that I truly do not care that the experience is pretty bare bones otherwise.

Then you get to choose where you sit. They brought water and chopsticks if your table didn't have any. There was the self serve sauce bar which was clean and organized. The food was really quick but I did go a little after lunch time. I ordered the spicy and tangy beef biang noodles. I had ordered the regular spice, but for me, I would've chosen the spicer one as I like spice but wanted to be safe. There was lots of really good flavors. The overall space and bathroom was very clean and a great spot for lunch!

The fishball lettuce congee is my go to order along with the sui gai rice noodle soup with added brisket sauce. Portions are always generous. Cash only. Can get busy.

I finally decided to go. I got one of the last tables for lunch. I only ordered the wonton noodle soup, but the sweet lady taking the order suggested a Chinese donut to go with it. I had only had the donut once before so I said sure. The family next to me was so sweet. They showed me how to dip the donut in the soup. And explained a few other things to try next time. The soup was fantastic and the donut was a fun addition.

The udon were really good but if you let them sit for a long time they get a bit soggy and lose their texture, mainly a concern if you eat really slow though.

This seems to be an ongoing theme of Japanese food places in the U.S. - the portion sizes of this place is insane. It felt like a basin of soup and the outside table we sat at could barely hold our two bowls plus the salad we ordered. At the counter I ordered the "Tomato Niku-Tama" and poured some water from the self-serve station. The soup base was good and the udon was ok. I wish the noodles had a bit more chew and bounce to it, it felt like my noodles were slightly well done. Appreciated that if you dine in, the udon was served with a complimentary chawan-mushi, pickled cabbage, ginger, & Azuki jelly. The udon bowl was enough food but the sides were a great addition. Staff seem to hear exclamation of the size often and pleasantly giggled at our reactions and of the other patrons. Udon depending on the bowl ranges from $21-$25 each. Eventually will come back to try the other dishes on the menu, very reminiscent of the childhood meals my Dad would make.

The 4 plates (2 pho, 2 grilled rice plates) took a little bit of time to come out, but nothing terrible. Service was good, I would expect that since we were the only ones there. The pho was OK, nothing really special. The proteins though in the pho was either minimal or just processed meat. Not real exciting. On the other hand, the grilled rice plates were very good and filling. The location itself if kind of sterile and cold, not that this is a bad thing. Just the way it is.

We arrived about 45 minutes before closing and still had plenty of time to order and finish our meal. BRAISED BEEF LAMEN SOUP 牛肉汤面 - 17.55 The beef was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were good, though a bit thicker than I'd prefer. The broth was surprisingly light and not overly salty compared to other restaurants, making it especially comforting after a long day of traveling. GARLIC STRING BEANS 蒜蓉四季豆 - 13.95 These were just okay. The string beans had a nice crunch, but they were quite oily and could have used a bit more seasoning. Overall, authentic food and experience -- especially the experience. We had to flag the server down a couple times, and both times he rolled his eyes before reluctantly coming over. Can't expect 5-star hospitality at a real Chinese restaurant!

We came here for dinner…read more Food: The dish we got with the chickpea and tofu curry was mind blowing. The flavor profile is a mix of Indian and Asian so if you like that type of food, you will definitely love the different taste of food at this restaurant. The quantity was appreciable, one dish is enough for two people to share, which I really appreciate in this market as a lot of other vendors are decreasing the quantity of food. It came with cucumbers and fried peanuts, both which added another taste element to the dish. We also had the coconut curry noodles, also delicious and would be even more amazing on a rainy day. We got both with tofu and vegetarian options. However, I am confident that with chicken or prawns it would be equally if not more delicious. Service: We were seated quickly, they came to get our orders very fast, and the food came promptly as well. Ambience: It is a Malaysian restaurant and the inside decor is really neat and a fun experience. It's a great day spot or also a great spot for families. If you've never tried Malaysian food, this is a great place to start, and if you're a connoisseur, still recommend giving this place a try!

However, prices have almost doubled since I last visited, exacerbated by the 18% mandatory service charge, and I am never a fan of mandatory anything so I hold these restaurants to a much much higher bar. We got the nasi lemak with beef rendang and the roti jala with chicken curry. They are both delicious and well spiced, but flavors are a little more mild to better cater to the western palate. The nasi lemak is a good portion size, just not enough sambal to mix but somewhat satisfactory to have every bite be flavorful. The beef rendang is good but a bit underseasoned; it is still a good choice for those that never tried beef rendang from Malaysia. The roti jala is a crowd pleaser - I love the net structure of the dish, but I wished they were a bit more generous with the curry as the curry can run out halfway into the dish. Service is good which is a bare minimum given the mandatory service charge - this encompasses checking up on us periodically, water refills, and taking away finished dishes promptly. Given the good overall experience, I can see why this place is way less busy, primarily the not as good of an affordability.

However, we arrived just before 10p on a Monday night and the line was down the street. We waited an hour and ended up not getting in due to seating ending at 10:45p. The hostess would check in periodically, and up to the last 15 mins said we had a 50/50 shot of getting seated. The alternative was to get take-out. There were a couple other groups also in the same boat. Overall, the wait time after submitting our take-out order was around 15 mins for 2 ramen. We ordered the classic ramen, extra spicy, and I added an egg to mine. On the card you use to select your order, you can choose the type of noodle, richness of broth, spice level, add-ins, and beverages. There is a separate vegan menu with lots of options to choose from. The ramen was delicious. The broth was rich and full of flavor and the noodles were cooked just right. The meat was tender and egg was perfectly jammy. I get the hype, but I wouldn't go after 9p again for my own sanity and time.
