I really wanted to try the Black Garlic Tonkotsu... but they had a combination pho on the menu! I had to ask, though, is it good? Do you recommend the pho? I'm picky about it! Sure enough, she said, you won't be disappointed. AND I WAS NOT! How do you describe good pho at this point? I'm not sure, but after hundreds of bowls, I have opinions, and my opinion is that their offering kicks ass. I'll get the BGT next time. Maybe. We tried the pork soup dumplings, too, and they were soooo yummy! Highly recommend stopping in if, like me, you also love noods. read more

While visiting the area on vacation, we decided to dine here based on the restaurant's unique concept and name. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We ordered the bao and immediately noticed a sour taste after only one bite. We informed our server that we did not enjoy the dish, but it was not removed from our bill. Additionally, the chicken pho broth lacked flavor and tasted more like dirty water than a properly prepared pho broth. Service was also lacking. Throughout much of our visit, several staff members appeared to be sitting at the bar on their phones rather than actively attending to guests. The overall hospitality did not meet our expectations. To make matters worse, when paying with tap-to-pay, the gratuity screen only presented tip options of 20%, 22%, and 25%. The server held the payment tablet while we completed the transaction, creating an uncomfortable situation where customers may feel pressured to leave a substantial tip regardless of the quality of service received. Given the level of service we experienced, this left a particularly poor impression. Based on our experience with both the food quality and customer service, I would not recommend this restaurant to others looking for a place to eat while visiting the area. read more

I Love Noods - receipt - Dim Sum Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We came here a few months ago. We were greeted with giant smiles and seated us right away. The place is brightly lit - maybe too brightly lit - and lots of space for large groups. They have a big menu so plenty to choose from if you have a larger group. They also have a full bar of course, this is the French Quarter, downtown. Everything was uber clean and service and food came out fairly quickly. I wanted to try their ramen so we ordered the garlic Tonkotsu. The broth was really welcoming and warm. I loved the noodles, hence their name I suppose. They were nice and thick. And the flavors of the pork really melted in my mouth. Everything was cooked really well and it was perfect for a cold night. I ate everything, didn't leave a drop. I think this ramen is up there with Union Ramen, which is my personal favorite. read more

Was craving some asian food in New Orleans and found I Love Noods on google maps. I originally came here to get some pho but the ramen pictures looked enticing. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu and it exceeded my expectations for New Orleans ramen. It tasted authentic and wasn't overly salty. The pieces of pork were tender and melts in your mouth. read more

This will always be my favorite spot in New Orleans for ramen or pho. I love that it's in the French quarter. The prices are reasonable. The place is really vibey and I love how they decorated the restaurant. The boba here is also really good. They have multiple options you can choose from when eating here. I always get the spicy garlic tonkotsu ramen. And the flavor is immaculate. Pork is grilled and charred and the eggs are cooked really well and not overcooked. It's has a great spice level and the garlic flavor really brings it all together. The service is really nice and fast. read more

Yall this food was AHHHHHHHH MAZ ING. THE PHO broth & the Ramen Broth. "YES LORD" MJ was our waitress and she was good. The young lady working the bar can stand to be a little nicer or polite. My manager and I both said thank you when she brought our drinks over. After she just sat them on the table, she walked away without acknowledging us. I'll still be back, one monkey don't stop no show. This train gon' keep on rolling. The manager/owner was very friendly as well and I enjoyed her walking around and offering help. The inside I this place is nice. We will be back soon. read more

I was pretty impressed by I Love Noods! Found another solid ramen spot in Nola. Due to eating restrictions, I had the Tokyo Shoyu which was a chicken broth based ramen and it was pretty great! They also have a vegetarian option too. I know a ramen spot is solid if their broth is good - especially if they are able to make a solid non-pork based broth and this place was great! I also loved the noodles and the egg taht they cooked in this ramen dish. read more

I Love Noods - Tokyo Chicken Shoyu Ramen - Dim Sum Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The name of the place and unusually having pho, ramen, and dim sum all on one menu sets it up to not be taken seriously. We weren't expecting anything truly authentic or amazing but we were mistaken. The pho was just as good as I hoped for. Everyone else got the ramen and the bowls were nearly empty after. The dim sum was fresh and juicy but did not look like how they typically are. I didn't try the milk tea but was told it was better than most. If you're craving Asian food, this is the spot to hit. read more

I Love Noods has become my go-to ramen and dimsum spot when I'm in the quarter. I've been here too many times to count and I will definitely keep coming back. My favorites on the menu include the curry bomb ramen, black garlic tonkatsu ramen, cucumber salad, spicy edamame and the shrimp & crabmeat shumai. So good! The service is always friendly and quick. I never have to wait too long for my food. The decor is cute too- definitely love the neon signs and the kiosks for to-go orders gives it a Tokyo inspired feel. read more

My friends and I stopped at I Love Noods in New Orleans during the Halloween parade, and it was such a great experience! We got to enjoy delicious ramen while watching the parade -- it doesn't get much better than that. The food came out super fast, which was perfect because we were starving, and everything tasted amazing. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a great vibe -- casual, fun, and perfectly named (love the humor!). I'd definitely come back next time I'm in New Orleans! read more

We stopped by this spot during our visit to New Orleans, and it was a great choice for a quick, casual ramen experience. The vibe is very much like a fast-casual place but with plenty of seating and a friendly crew. We ordered the cucumber salad, pork egg rolls, spicy ramen, and garlic ramen. Everything came out hot, fresh, and flavorful -- no complaints at all. The ramen bowls had the perfect balance of broth, noodles, and toppings, and the sides were just as tasty. The only small hiccup was that my server forgot my drink, but honestly, it didn't ruin the experience. The food and overall service made up for it, and I left happy and satisfied. Definitely 100% recommended if you're craving ramen in NOLA! read more

have not had service this blatantly racist in...well, ever. Apparently we didn't fit thier 'customer profile'. sat at a table, (myself, bf and our daughter) ordered bubble tea and two appetizers. A few minutes later our server came out with a second person (manager?) and told us that we would need to pay UP FRONT for our food before they would make it. this is a sit down restaurant, i had witnessed them take another tables order without demanding payment before making it, so this is not standard policy by any means. It was directed at us and us only, one can only guess why. Will never return and strongly suggest you don't either. read more

Came here for dinner last night. We were seated right away. Great customer service. Ordered the spicy Miso. It was definitely spicy. I did add a little more oil chili. The broth was good. I also ordered the lychee milk tea which was really good definitely help with the spiciness, my stomach was burning. read more

Love everything about this place. Asian/Chinese fusion gives a much needed break from all the seafood places around the quarter. I don't usually like boba but their brown sugar milk tea with the boba is unmatched. I have gone back twice specifically when I crave the curry ramen. The dumplings are also amazing. Service is friendly and fast, and the ambience gives funky and bright. Super clean as well, especially for the location it's in. read more

Big surprise to find a place with Boba tea in the French Quarter. They had countless varieties that can all be customized that helped cool us down and refresh us after a day of walking around. Also glancing at their menu this place also sells PHO ! Not only do they have the standard Pho like Pho meatball or brisket they have Pho w/ Gulf Shrimp which is very difficult to find at most places that have Pho. So I will be back for Boba Tea & Pho and maybe try their Ramen! read more

I was tired from too much travel, feeling a tad exhausted, and honestly needed noodle soup to revive me... so where did we end up but I Love Noods. I appreciate this spot for having a vegetarian noodle soup option because let me tell you, the craving was STRONG. We swung by around 8 pm on a Friday night and thankfully were able to grab a table pretty swiftly. They do have other bites like dumplings, karaage, pho, but I was on a mission for ramen (also the pho was all non-veg broth so LOL). I grabbed the vegetarian ramen which came with a jammy egg, tofu, and some delicious nori whereas my husband had the spicy curry ramen. We literally inhaled our bowls in record time and were able to pay pretty quickly to go hunting for dessert thereafter. Service was kind and helpful; checked in the appropriate amount and gave some recs. I will say the drink menu here looked fun aka I love boba and didn't have a chance to try the teas, but go forth and bubble tea away if interested! Solid noodle soup option in the area so check it out if you have the same hankering as me. read more

Arrived in town and needed some dinner -- no interest in partying tonight. Enter I Love Noods, right around the corner from my hotel and ready to serve me some takeout! My order was ready fast, before the stated time and I just walked right in and claimed it. I ordered: - brown sugar milk swirl bubble tea - fried chicken gyoza - shu mai - black garlic ramen The best thing was probably the gyoza -- perfectly fried (would be amazing dine-in/fresh) and the dipping sauce is addictive. The shu mai tasted a bit porkier(?) than I like, I must be accustomed to shrimp siu mai. The bubble tea was fine, the boba were a bit mushy. The black garlic ramen was decent! Good broth, I liked how they grilled/torched the pork for extra flavor. The ramen egg was fine but I wish it included another half of egg. Otherwise the toppings were pretty typical. All in all a good option for the area if you're looking for a quick meal of soup and dim sum! read more

Went on a Friday night and was very empty, even though it was on a very busy street! We ordered the soup dumplings as an appetizer, but was honestly the last item to come out (The server did warn us about this). For entree, we ordered Combination Pho which was pretty good! The broth was quite flavorful and different meats were delicious. The tonkatsu ramen was my favorite item- Quite spicy, meaty, hot fresh ramen is the best thing to get. read more

I definitely recommend this place! The food, the service, and the whole vibe make it worth a stop if you are anywhere near Decatur Street. The ramen bowls are the star of the show. The broth is rich, the toppings are fresh, and the noodles somehow manage to be both hearty and light at the same time. The flavors hit the perfect balance between comfort food and something a little special. Service was quick, friendly, and you can tell the staff really enjoys being there. Now for the funny part: I was so excited when my ramen came out that I leaned in for that first whiff of steam and managed to fog up my glasses so badly I could not see a thing. The server walked by just in time to see me blindly poking at the bowl with chopsticks like I was playing noodle roulette. They laughed, gave me an extra napkin to wipe down my glasses, and said, "That's how you know it's good." They were absolutely right. The ambiance is relaxed, with just enough energy from the music and people watching to make it fun without feeling overwhelming. It is the kind of place you could stop by solo, bring friends, or even make it a casual date night. Overall, great food, even better service, and a good laugh thrown in. Five stars from me. read more

Had an early event in the FQ and just needed something to eat before heading over. It was happy hour so I snacked on some tempura shrimp and then ordered the regular edamame over their non-HH menu. I love that they have an old fashioned on their hh drink menu so I enjoyed one of those too. Sitting at the bar was great and the staff was lovely as always. Love that this quick and delicious option exists on Decatur. read more

did not see this lil place in the quarterrr all in all it cured my hunger but it wasn't as yommy the black garlic ramen was probably the best for sure, with good flavor profile despite the meat being lackluster. the xiao long baos were better than i expected (crab and pork inside, soy sauce even more yom) and the spicy pork wontons were kinda a let down for me. it wasn't terrible but i've had better thas all ! all 14 of us were seated on a monday afternoon lol read more

I love noods, therefore I thought this would be the perfect place to satisfy that craving! Just a walk away from Jackson Square, I Love Noods is a nice, modernish Ramen joint. Our server was attentive and the food came out promptly, probably the fastest I've been served at a ramen place (though there weren't many people there midday). We had the Black Garlic Miso and Sapporo Miso Ramen for entrees. Both Ramens were pretty flavorful, loved that the chashu pork was seared, though the ramen was just a bit too salty and I thought a couple more toppings could have enhanced it! Overall, a good place to drop by and have ramen if you're non Decatur! read more

We were looking for a place to eat before heading back to our hotel. Our first choice was a Thai restaurant, but they couldn't accommodate our large group. Then we called Noods, and they told us, "Give us 20 minutes and we'll be ready for you." That was already a good sign! When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly busy, but the staff quickly rearranged tables -- even kindly asking one customer to move so they could seat us together. We really appreciated that (and the other customer's understanding!). The restaurant isn't fancy, but it's cozy and welcoming. To our surprise, the servers spoke our language, which made the experience even better. I ordered the Spicy Black Garlic Tonkotsu, and my husband got the Tenderloin and Brisket Pho -- both were excellent. The spicy broth had a nice kick without overpowering the flavor, and the portions were generous. Prices are reasonable, about the same as other ramen or pho spots. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive. The place wasn't too noisy, so we could actually talk and enjoy our food. Overall, great food, great service, and a great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

The service was great. Very friendly staff. The restaurant was a little busy at 1:30 in the afternoon. Very casual atmosphere. The food was amazing! Came out hot and delicious! The only reason I didn't give a 5 star review was because I don't care for cilantro and asked if they could go light and they didn't. It was still good. Just go! read more

So so good that we went back for a second time during our stay here in New Orleans. First day we stopped in for a light appetizer of the crystal shrimp, edamame & mango strawberry green tea-all so good.

Would 10/10 recommend read more

Newer spot in the French Quarters. Service was great! Soon as we walked in, we were greeted immediately and its open seating. The TOKYO SHOYU, which is the chicken ramen, was really good. Seasoned just right, hot, made fresh...would get it again every time! Tried the Egg Custard Bao, paired well with the ramen but by itself it was pretty dry. The pineapple and lime bubble tea was pretty tart with a bitter after taste, the lime was overpowering. Overall, will return! read more

If you need a break from Cajun food, this is the place to satisfy your Asian food craving. We had the cucumbers, beef pho, and mango mojito. All delish.

This is literally the best ramen out there ever. The broth, protein, the noodles mesh together deliciously. It blends well with all the ingredients- noodles just cooked roght, beoth is very tasty, and the prom is very juicy!! The broth is done right matched perfectly with the black garlic and all you need to add is chili oil if you love spicy. The only thing thats missing is the seaweed. Both ramen were so good, it quench my craving. And oh my gosh, All dimsum were all tasty and savory. Don't forget their bobbas- brownaugar with black tea less than 50% sugar and taro were both good as well. The only thing I would say is that the portion is little and price is high for the ramens at $17 and dimsum are $9 for 4 piece, and the bobbas sitting at $9 a piece- Too pricey for little food. Overall, food was Great! read more

Everything was good and We will definitely come again. I knocked a star off for charging a *3% fee for using a Credit card . This is on the receipt in small print. I don't like when establishments do this. Knock that off you will get a 5. read more

Walked in 15-ish minutes after ordering to-go. It's cute. Not too much. Not to plain. Just a nice little duck off Asian spot. There were two waitresses but both were on their phone so I did have to say excuse me but when she looked up she hopped up from the table immediately. Got the beef pho and dumplings for take out. Fried dumplings were so good! Fresh and hot. Pho was awesome too. I had all the clothes and accessories you needed to dress it up however you wanted to, including the plastic bowl WITH a nice lid. Broth wasn't spectacular on its own but it was definitely tasty! They were a little heavy on the onion for my personal taste but that's not something to deter me from returning. Just for less next time! read more
