So Hubby and I decided to try this pace called the Happy Noodle and it's now become our go to spot! This is the 3rd time we have been and it never disappoints at all, we both had the same meal it's #40 on the menu it the beef vermicelli bowl. y'all the textures, flavors and just the original sauce that's comes with it is absolutely perfect! We also had the fried dumplings with the garlic soy dipping sauce, it's so good but leave it to us to eat them before a photo was taken lol! The service is quick and amazing the inside of the restaurant is very clean and unique with all sorts of little items for purchase if you would like as well. So if you're in the area please go in and order something off the menu especially if you love Asian food!!! read more

The food is delicious. We've tried the Pho and Crispy rice. I am craving the Pho on these cold days. The gentleman who serves us each time is very friendly and happy to explain any dish. Will be back over and over. read more

We finally made it to this very simple and quaint little place! Our waiter was personable and friendly while he answered all my questions. I had traditional Pho with beef. Husband a shrimp and veggies with noodles. He also had egg rolls. We previously had these delicious egg rolls at a local art event. We also had dumplings for our appetizer. Everything was delicious. The restaurant has a cute little area to buy earrings and what not. This was a very enjoyable experience and I hope to visit again and try fried noodles! read more

Delicious Asian meals. Pho is excellent. Excellent service and quiet ambiance allows actual conversation.

Me and my boyfriend had came here to try it out due to the good reviews that were being posted online. It was disappointing to say the least. The pho was missing the aeromatics and missing tons of key flavors that should be in a traditional vietnamese pho. The bun bo hue was disappointing as well. It was only served with flank and traditionally it is served with an array if cut meat, pig feet, blood sausage, etc. The flavor was disappointing and felt like I was being served a bowl of water with chili oil in it. It was missing key flavors and aeromatics. We also ordered the calamari but once we got it it was very soggy. Glad we tried it but we wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

Got to go and food was ready in the time they announced. Got the beef curry-/SO GOOD and grilled beef noodles ( I'd say better, but that's not possible). read more

We love our happy noodle!!! It's my youngest daughter's favorite!!! They're so friendly, the food is delicious! They have the comfort food you didn't know you needed. read more

Great Pho. Moderately expensive but worth it. The owners own another Vietnamese restaurant in Ocean Springs. Skip that one and go to happy noodles in vancleave. read more

The waiter is always in an amazing mood and gives great service every time! The environment is calm and inviting, I recommend the beef stew, it was melt in your mouth AMAZING!!! read more

This or favorite place to eat pho. There are lots of other dishes here, and they serve breakfast too. But, we have stuck to the soups. Always excellent service and they know what we want by now, and we only have to acknowledge that we will have our usual when we sit down. I give it 4 stars because I hope one day they will offer báhn mì or bún bò huê. It's the only thing they lack. I am updating my review to include a 5th star. This is because we have come to love John our waiter and never have to ask for a thing with him. He's always happy to see us and serves every customer with a great attitude and a sense of making sure they are taken care of. Several times the owner has made special dishes for us that weren't on the regular menu. If you like traditional Vietnamese soups other than Pho, you only have to ask. We still love the Pho but also like the Shrimp Curry, a delicious thick green curry over rice. While the regular menu isn't huge, everything has a wonderful flavor. And, you'll never walk away hungry. Be sure to ask about spice levels as it can knock your sinuses out of your head if you aren't careful. This place is simply our favorite place to eat - and I'm a VERY picky diner. Try it. You won't regret it. read more

The beef curry noodles are fantastic. The decor is comfortable. The staff is friendly. Well worth going read more

I we are fans of Vietnamese pho noodle soups. We have tried this shop a couple of times and think it's among the best. The broth is clear and tasty. The Seafood pho includes both fish balls and shrimp balls as well as shrimp squid and imitation crab. We would go back. read more

Loved the noodle bowl with ribeye and we loved the summer rolls with peanut sauce. Service was great and food came out fast! Will definitely be picking up to-go orders on the way home. They do not serve alcohol but you can brown bag. read more

The waiter and the cook both were courteous and helpful to me on my first visit. I appreciated them and I enjoyed the pho. I will look for this restaurant the next time I am in South Mississippi. read more

This is a very small place that I have been to several times. It's always been OK but today was not up to par. They have an extensive menu. One of the sections is the "Broken Rice" dishes. There have to be at least 20 different types. I ordered the Sugarcase Shrimp which was $13.95. Boy was I disappointed. To begin with, there was no broken rice, just plain steamed rice. When I asked about it I was told "oh, we don't have broken rice, it comes with steamed rice". Then why do you have a whole section of your menu with broken rice dishes? Uh. Then the sugarcane shrimp. Not sure what they served, but it bore no resemblance to real sugarcane shrimp. Instead I got a spongy, artificially colored mass that had no shrimp flavor at all. Add a small bit of picked vegetables and a few slices of cucumber, that's a $14 dish. We won't be back anytime soon. read more

We stopped here on our way home from Florida. Happy Noodle is such a pleasant surprise right off the highway. I ordered the summer rolls for an appetizer and they were so fresh! I didn't get a pic because we quickly gobbled them down with the yummy peanut dipping sauce. I had the rice plate with lemongrass chicken. It had more sauce then I'm used to from other Vietnamese restaurants but it tasted great. The dish was unique. Everything was fresh and tasty. I would go back if I was in the area. read more

My family loves this place. The service is good and staff is very friendly. They offer 10% discount to service personnel daily.

It's always super sad when Asian restaurants serve bland food-- it almost seems impossible, right? My guess is that the positive reviews reflect a limited sample pool. There are no Asian restaurants of note in Gautier. There is one mediocre shopping center place that serves stuff-- that one by Jerry Lee's. So, one of the best things about spring rolls is the sauce, right? Yes, you don't need it but it takes it to the next level, and I asked twice if I could get some (once on the phone and another when I got there, and the answers were a bit vague, but I just assumed it was understood that the sauce would be in there). I think you know where this going... Sauce aside, the noodle dish was a bit dry, and they left the tails on the shrimp, which I get, but it sucks. I could also be more forgiving if the price for two spring rolls and the noodle dish (shrimp lo mein) wasn't $16. So, in sum, I'd watch it. The positive reviews are a bit misleading. Also, the lady on the phone was rude and not helpful (to a newcomer to the establishment). I had a few questions, and she was short, and grumpy. The guy inside was great, but I interrupted his dinner, and I think he was in a rush to get back to it (don't you love that-- when the one of the two staff members are eating and chilling. I get it. We all get hungry, but go in the back or take a moment). Yeah, so I won't ever return. Check out Thai Diner in Mobile, AL for comparable dishes at a much better price. If you want anything similar around here, get over it. I think Long Beach is the only place with a decent spot, so if you're traveling keep going about 15 miles read more

We are on our way back to Houston from Destin. Glad we found this restaurant at lunch time. Food are very light, not greasy. Pho broth has great flavor. Pad Thai is OK. Curry noodle soup has so much flavor we have to order a French bread to soak up the curry sauce. read more

My family needs I eat here about once a week. Great food, prepared fresh and very very yummy. If you like pho, theirs is great, their curries are excellent and their pad thai is one of my favorites. read more

Happened on this place on my way back from Florida...West bound. Love the food and service was great as well. Will return!

Definitely will be trying this place out again! I ordered take out one night and got a couple orders of the pork rolls and the BN3 (grilled beef with rice noodles). The sauce along with the egg rolls was absolutely one of the greatest! Perfect amount of spicy. I am glad I am just down the street! read more

Impressed been passing this place up since they opened. My loss. Very good food great service and fast. Food beat appetizer to the table.

They opened a restaurant right next to my house...!! It's been hard not to stop by but i have to hold back from going there everyday...lol! Food has really good flavor, so much to choose from or you can pick the option to make your own bowl! They catered to my liking and taste which is really awesome! The customer service is great and fast! I'd put up a picture if i had one but every time i always forget i end up eating my food right when it comes to the table read more

Definitely one of my favorite noodle houses absolutely love this little restaurant waitstaff is awesome the food is awesome on cannot say enough good things about things of course my favorite is the PHO read more

Always a fast, tasty meal with quick service. Hard working lady in the back cranking it out! Tough location (across from the Shed) but real good place. read more

Good food a little on a he pricey side of the counter but it is worth stopping in for a meal

I never ever leave reviews for anything but for this restaurant I will! I am Vietnamese and this place is truly amazing! The Pho and the fried prawns were really good. Before I would have to go to Houston to get the fried prawns but this place is local and all reasonably priced? Definitely would drive 20 minutes just to get the food. Totally worth it! read more

We had the following, all outstanding: summer rolls, pork egg rolls, shrimp egg rolls. House pad Thai, and House rice noodle bowl (which was bursting with veggies as well as meats). Excellent service too. We'll be back. Highly recommend!!! read more

Well worth the drive from Ocean Springs. I have had the Rare Beef Pho and the Shrimp Crunchy Noodle. Both were delicious.
