The food wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't worth a 30-minute drive. I'd give the food 2 stars at most. The restaurant also felt dirty and run-down, which made the experience even worse. Overall, I regret making the trip and won't be coming back.

Quiet inside, there wasn't a ton of people inside, other than the workers and a few people getting takeout , but the workers inside are very friendly, very chill. Service was excellent.

Service was fast as well! I've eaten at a few popular Thai places in Sacramento and have to say, this place is in my top 3! Their mango sticky rice is SUPER GOOD too. I think they mix coconut milk and pandan with the sticky rice so it's perfectly creamy. I forgot to take a photo of it because we devoured it immediately. We'll definitely be back to Baan Noodles and Rice!

When they came out to bring us water they asked us to move in case a "big party" came they would have no where else to sit, so we moved (they couldve seated us in the first place and no big party came..). Anyways, ordered the yum woonsen, pork drunken noodle and the khao soi. All were 15.95 each. First glance, portion differences was crazy. The drunken noodle plate was so BIG, then compared to the yum woonsen and khao soo those were soo small. I wanna say their stir fried dishes r big portions and everything else is small ig. Flavor of yum woonsen was pretty good, i usually like the sauce, two shrimps. Drunken noodle not bad, noodles r cut rly big lol and bit mushy decent flavor. Overall wouldnt come back, would rather go to saivaree (sister restaurant) which gives better portions and i believe their pricing is cheaper/same.

This had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was light and refreshing and balanced the rest of the flavors of the meal. I started with the seaweed salad. It was a solid seaweed salad. Good seasoning and texture. It was a good portion size as well. Melissa and Jonathan had the gyoza. They were stuffed full of meat, but I felt like the seasoning was a little less than and also they were unevenly cooked. I still tried one though because a gyoza is a gyoza. As my main, I had the karamiso ramen with a spicy miso based broth with seasoned ground chicken, veggies and chili threads for an extra kick. I enjoyed this bowl of ramen. It was the perfect level of spice. I am partial to ground meat in ramen, so I liked that this was an option. The veggies were cooked al dente which I appreciated, and the broth was filling and flavorful. The noodles were thin which is my favorite type. Attentive service here. OUr water cups were always filled no matter how hot the ramen was. Solid meal here.

I got the Karamiso ramen, the spice level was okay, but upon tasting the broth, you get a rich flavorful punch of pork flavor with sourness. I like the richness of the broth and sour flavors so I was drawn to it. My wife got the Aka Red Tonkotsu ramen, the broth was definitely lighter, and the spice level was abut the same as the one I got. The portions were generous, we were not able to finish our ramens unfortunately. But I must say, for the price, it's worth it. I would like to go back and try their tan tan men.

Close proximity to the the Bel Air grocery store, next to the UPS store…read more Small indoor dining seats about 6 people, out door dining is shared amongst other local businesses in the area . I really like the concept of selecting your own dry ramen / noodles packets , then choosing proteins, toppings to be added to our own bowl and cooking it ourselves over a timed induction burner. I appreciate the vast selection of noodles choices but the price tag is a bit steep for what it is ( instant noodles) . We also had some dumplings such as Hargow , it was not good , looks and tasted like the ones i buy from the freezer at an Asian grocery store. The edges were dry and hard it seems like it's put in the microwave. I did asked the young lady if the hargow were microwave , she stated it was steamed . She did offer to bring us something else to replace. We opted for the korean mondu , it's at least soft and comes out warm . I honestly wouldn't come back when I am in the area again. I can't see myself spending $ for low quality dumplings.

I was…read morebrowsing Yelp to find a place to find a place to eat and found this place and other reviews said it was a hidden gem. It is located in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking. The inside is modern. Me and my boyfriend ordered the dry braised green beans, salt and pepper pork chop, beef chow fun, and honey walnut prawns. The entrees do not come with rice. They did offer rice plates which included rice as part of the price but we did not order the rice plates. After we ordered, we received complimentary egg drop soup to start the meal off. The food came out fairly quickly although they weren't many diners when we got there. We had enough food to take over for left overs! The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes. Every dish we ordered was delicious and the food was not overly salty. When we asked for to go boxes they packed up our food for us instead of us doing it ourselves. The service was attentive. They did forget to bring water for us one time. Overall, I will definitely be coming back to this place again to try more of their dishes!

We told ourselves if they couldn't seat us, no worries, we actually had a backup restaurant to go to, but i'm so glad they did! We got seated right away and knew exactly what to order. We got the chili oil wontons, chicken dry chow fun, salt and pepper spare ribs, and the duck noodle soup. Everything was so good and the hitter of the night for us was the duck noodle soup. It was so flavorful and the meat was so tender! Everything paired so well together and it was very refreshing. Our server was so nice and very attentive. Since we did get seated 15 minutes before closing, we had to order quickly but we weren't rushed either. He was very helpful and made the experience better. Would definitely come back here to try other items on the menu!

The aroma alone--warm five-spice, toasted sesame, and slow-simmered broths are comforting. Every bite carries that unmistakable 家常味 (jiā cháng wèi), the soulful "home-style flavor" that can't be rushed or replicated. Taking one bite of the Taiwanese braised pork rice instantly made me think of my nànà's cooking, the similar flavors jolted me back to her kitchen as a kid. Wow, that alone blew my mind. I haven't tasted anything remotely close to her cooking since she passed away. Thank you . Everything I tried was delicious and I can't wait to come back and order everything else!!!
