    14. Pickled Cabbage Fish Slices Rice Noodles/
    Felicia Y.

    Good rice noodles (not normal noodles!) All the toppings come out in the big bowl already mixed for you so you just add your noodles. The fish was tender and soup was flavorful, salty, sour, and the perfect amount of spice. The portions are also big so it is good for 2 meals.

    This was our first visit to Love Noodle. They opened in April of 2024. We arrived at 7pm on a Thursday and the place was completely empty, we were the first party to arrive. The server spoke great English for those that care, but also fluent Mandarin - and he provided great, friendly service. When we walked in, he immediately notified us that all of the soup broths have pork in them, even the mushroom/fish soups. As someone with dietary restrictions, I really appreciated this. Two of us ordered the Mala Spicy fish filet noodle soup, and one chose the thai spicy beef noodle soup. When we ordered, the server warned us that it is authentic and that the mala is "Chinese hot" - again, appreciated! We have very high spice tolerance - and this was absolutely authentically mala spicy. I would not order this unless you consider yourself to have a high spice tolerance. Our buddy that ordered the Thai spicy said that it was mostly manageable, but a few bites throughout the soup were super spicy and would catch him off guard. I was too hungry and didn't take a photo, but I really liked the bowls they serve their noodle soups in. Overall, I liked the noodle soup, and the type of noodles they use are similar to the ones at cross bridge noodle soups. However, in all honesty - the mala broth at Malatang I prefer much more. It's much more flavorful, umami - but less spicy , so it depends what you're looking for. Based on our experience, I would be happy to come back to try some of the other options. I hope their slow night is not a representation of how their business is going. I truly wish them success!

    We stopped here for a meal after visiting the Flower Show on March 2, 2025. It was worth choosing Love Noodle despite the overabundance of eateries close by. On such a cold and blustery day, the hot tea and hot soup warmed our bones quickly. Due to a large party in the back, we sat close to the door in what seemed like a very long hallway. It was not too narrow and nothing about that detracted from our meal. Service was SO FAST. Almost as soon as we sat down we had water and hot tea and a little snack-type-box of nuts and I don't know what... LOL! But it was quick! Same with our dinner food, which came out quickly and was close to magma-like temperatures. I had to wait quite a bit to safely eat my soup. Service was more than adequate. The host and waiter were friendly and eager to explain things on the menu or answer any questions we have. I would like to go back to Love Noodle again and again and would recommend the restaurant to anyone.

    Beef brisket/ vegetable over white rice
    Brooklyn T.

    Food was disgusting , the smell from the meat before even getting a noodle in my mouth was so overwhelming I gagged, smell so bad like if it was old. And the beef brisket over rice had no taste, the rice was old and the half of hard boiled egg that was presented on the dish was old as well. Food disgusting , never again.. couldn't even take a bite . Restaurant staff did not charge us for the order and we left.. just not for me..

    "Love Noodle," is a clever name that evokes double entendres for me. True, my Thai Spicy Noodle Soup with Beef Slices was very good, I equally enjoyed the friendliness of my servers who had the bowl and fixings at my table in about three minutes, as well as the funny image in my head of limp love noodles and the cure for E.D. Regardless, the soup was definitely Thai Spicy and scalding hot as well. Adjusted on the fly with chopsticks and large spoon to permit cooling before eating. There were plenty of thin sliced hot pot beef, bok choy, bits of pork lunch meat and even a miniature boiled egg. Enjoyed the whole three dimensional experience. I couldn't finish the soup and took the balance home for the fam. Glad I didn't order any apps, because I just would have been stuffed no matter how good they were. The space was long and deep like most Chinatown kitchens, but cleaner than most, with a few interesting wall art pieces. Love Noodle is definitely worth the noodling. Five Piping Hot Stars

    Classic rice noodle spot with generous portions for a good value! Unlike other rice noodle restaurants in the area, you can replace the noodle with rice or other noodle types. I appreciate the starter seaweed salad and salted peanuts they offered! The interior was clean and service was quick.

    Menu - Sauce mixed rice noodles
    Emma Z.

    A new rice noodle place in Philly, soft opening now. With both soup and sauce mixed selections, and the price seems reasonable. Unfortunately the quality was disappointing... Got take out of a sauce mixed rice noodles, the box was only 60% filled... is the portion also discounted during soft opening?! lol... It's super plain yet still very salty *_* there's half a marinated egg, a few pieces of the meat you selected, barely existence shreds of carrots and that's it! There's no other veggies or other items to add any texture or flavor. So plain so boring, no much flavor other than the salty soy based sauce, and the noodles were overcooked and lost their texture. Need so much improvements!

    Beef Tripe Sauce Mixed Rice Noodles $13
    Jo L.

    Just opened end of April. Currently running a soft opening special of 20% meal Staff was friendly and very helpful. I think she knew we were trying to figure out what everything was on our phones. She said since they just opened there aren't many pictures online yet so she could help recommend things. Mala spicy beef brisket rice noodles $12 three pepper symbol. We had two of this order. The spice level was inconsistent. One was maybe level 2/5 spicy. We added more chili oil to it. The other was 4/5 spicy. You can tell the difference by how red the broth was. The star of the show for us were the sauce mixed noodles. We got the beef shank $13 and beef tripe $13. The sauce is a garlic sauce that isn't too over powering or salty. We said we would definitely come back for this. Good price and portion sizes. Left full and satisfied. The size of the bowl compared to the food for the mixed noodles made it seem little but it was a good amount. Oh and they have a cat robot to bring some of the dishes!!

    Good price with a good selection of broth and noodles, the mala spicy soup is kinda bland but I would recommend the Thai style spicy soup, the basic noodles type is the rice noodles but they got ramen as well.

    Mala Spicy Chicken Rice Noodles
    Raman D.

    I ordered the Mala Spicy Chicken Noodles and the Brown Sugar Rice Cakes. The server warned me that the broth was very spicy so I opted for the milder version. Despite requesting a milder version, the broth was still too spicy for me. Our server was very accommodating and brought a side of plain bone broth to help. Also note that the noodles were quite soft, making them difficult to eat with the chopsticks.

    Pickled Cabbage Slices Beef Rice Noodles
    Mete E.

    It was a great experience! My husband ordered Thai and I did Cabbage base. It was very tasty and we will definitely be back!

    The rice noodles are so delicious, especially the sides of choice. I have to mention the complimentary fried buns, which are a very thoughtful gesture.

    This is your classic rice noodle soup restaurant, located inside Chinatown. The menu can be a bit confusing, but the basis of this place is that they offer several soup bases with different meat options. There is also the option for add ons such as marinated eggs, mushrooms or more meat. I ended up choosing the marinated egg with pickled cabbage soup base, and was very impressed with the soup, although slightly disappointed that the marinated egg was overcooked. I think if the egg had been soft serve, it would have been the perfect rice noodle dish! Service was great and we got our food in record time. There is also the option of karaoke here, and would be a great spot to host a large gathering!

    Nan Zhou features the absolute best hand drawn noodles in Philadelphia, hands down. Great menu,…read morefriendly service, and casual dining atmosphere. Even during the last weekend of the Chinese Lantern Festival we were able to get a table after a few minutes of waiting. The cold peanut noodles, milk tea, stir fry, and soup are divine.

I got dinner here recently after not coming for a while and was reminded just how good it is. Really delicious, authentic, and affordable Northern Chinese food - my mom is from that region and always asks to come here whenever she visits. The noodle portions are huge and expertly hand-crafted and cooked for the perfect bouncy chewy texture. The dumplings are also lowkey the best in Chinatown, with a thicker chewy skin characteristic of Northern-style dumplings, a juicy filling bursting with flavor, and a perfect sweet soy sauce dip on the side. Service is quick and friendly, with the servers able to accommodate both Chinese and English speakers and happy to give recommendations. And you can tell from the clientele that this place is a hit with both Chinese and non-Chinese diners alike. It was packed on a Friday night! It's BYO too so you can even imbibe in some drinks with dinner without breaking the bank. FYI that they only accept cash and Venmo for payment.

    This University City location is fine! I still think the OG Chinatown location is the best, but…read morethis one definitely has its own perks. The menu is mostly the same, so you know what you're getting. I actually came here for the University City Dine With Us deal, and honestly, 3 courses for $20 is a great deal, especially because they still give you those VERY generous Sang Kee portions. You definitely won't leave hungry. The University City location is newer and has a lot more seating, unless you're comparing it to the second floor of the Chinatown location. It's also nicely decorated and feels a little more polished and modern while still keeping that casual noodle house feel. The staff here were fine, and the food came out really quickly. Everything was good, but I couldn't help feeling like the flavors were a little more toned down and "white person friendly" compared to the Chinatown location. It just didn't have quite the same depth or punch that I remember from the OG. That said, it could totally be because I was ordering from the deal menu or maybe I just caught them on an off day, so I'm not going to hold that too strongly against them. One thing I really appreciated was the staff being so kind when my friend got stuck in the thunderstorm. I was waiting for her while it was absolutely POURING outside, and one of the ladies let me stay inside without making me feel like I needed to leave or hurry up. That was genuinely appreciated. Overall, a very solid location. If Chinatown feels too far, I'd absolutely come here instead. The food is still good, the portions are generous, the space is nicer and newer, and the prices are reasonable. I just think the OG still has that extra something.

    Solid casual Japanese spot in University City. We ordered the karaage chicken curry rice platter…read moreand the signature Terakawa tonkotsu ramen. The Japanese curry was rich and thick. The karaage fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy inside. It came with a small side ginger‑dressed salad, which helped balance the heavy curry sauce. Portion was plenty big, very filling. Their signature tonkotsu ramen had a nice pork‑bone depth. The chashu pork was tender, paired with bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms and a soft‑boiled seasoned egg. Noodles had good firm texture. Just be aware the overall seasoning runs a little on the salty side, which is pretty common for local ramen shops. Service was quick. The atmosphere is plain and functional‑‑don't expect fancy decor, this is comfort food. If you are in the area and craving ramen or Japanese curry, this place is definitely worth a visit.

The service was excellent, with all of the staff, being friendly, prompt, and helpful. I ordered the gyoza and Terakawa ramen - both were delicious. The pork bone broth is quite satisfying, and I will say that the pork and egg were just perfect. The noodles are slightly smaller than ramen I've had elsewhere, but they had a nice texture to them and were definitely not over or undercooked. (That's the -1 star for me - I really love alkaline noodles and wish they used them here...) The decor is very utilitarian, but representative of the type of establishment they are going for (small neighborhood ramen shop). Overall, a pleasing experience and reasonable value. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! Oishii desu!!
