So happy to find Singaporean food in NYC!! This is a small little store in Washington Heights which is best for take-out as there is limited indoor seating. The menu showcases a creative twist on Singaporean cuisine (e.g. instead of serving a whole chili crab, they have a chili crab dip with fried mantou). They have only a few vegan options currently, but hopefully more to come! I've had the bee hoon which tastes great, however it is more like the "Singapore mei fun" you find in Chinese restaurants, not the bee hoon in Singapore hawker centers that I remember. The sayur lodeh is absolutely delicious and is my favorite dish here! The flavors are well-balanced and love the lemongrass. It is less "saucy" than I remember but still very yummy. So happy to have Native Noodles in town. Definitely recommend! read more

Very good place. Shrimp fritters and dumplings reccomended. Also make good ramen. Great eating experience.

I am obsessed with this restaurant. I am so grateful they opened up as I have been ordering take out from here very regularly. I've tried almost everything from their menu and love everything I've tried. For appetizers the best ones are the shrimp fritters and the popcorn chicken. The fritters are so crispy and the prawns are huge! The popcorn chicken makes me nostalgic for Taiwanese boba shops from my childhood. It's also very crispy and not overly oily. The crab buns are fluffy but I like the other appetizers better. My favorite noodles in order are the satay peanut noodle, wonton noodles and laksa noodles. I regularly rotate through these three options when I'm ordering. The peanut noodle has the best flavor and I love the soft eggs that it comes with. The wonton noodles are great too as it comes with a generous portion of toppings including bok choy and meat. Finally you cant go wrong with laksa noodles. The sauce is exploding with flavor and I love the chewiness of the noodles. For desserts, both the waffle and mango pudding are delicious ways to end the meal. Not too sweet but I would still recommend sharing after your meal since their entrees are pretty big. read more

Native Noodles - Wonton Dumpling Noodles - Singaporean Near Me - New York, New York

Native indeed! As I stood by waiting for my food, you could definitely peek through the window behind the makeshift counter leading into their kitchen to see the care and attention to the food being prepared. Maybe I'm wrong to assume, but while they didn't seem to be professional trained chefs, they were incredibly focused on the dishes that were being prepared and moving very quickly with the preparations. I'm sure if I lived closer to Native Noodles I'd have their Singapore noodles and the Roti John on a daily basis! Initially came upon Native as a result of a Yelp event but ordered several items off their menu and they definitely did not disappoint. Wontons, Roti John, Singapore Mee Fun, Chili Crab Linguine, Laksa, all definitely items I'd grab again! I had no doubt that the Singapore Mee Fun would be one of my favorites, as I do order this dish whenever I see it, but the Roti John was a surprise. My initial thought upon seeing the sandwich was that it wouldn't be satisfying but upon first bite, but it definitely ranks up there as one of the best cheese / beef sandwiches I've ever had. I hesitate to call it something I'd get in Philly, but if I got this in Philly, I'd rank it pretty high. Definitely one of the best meals I've had in 2021 for sure! read more

My friend and I met for dinner here on a weeknight. It was hard to find. The signage makes it not look like a restaurant. I think you have to know where it is to really find it or else you might just walk past it. The service was okay. The food took a little longer than we would have liked to arrive. They may have been short staffed and the party of six that came may have influenced our wait time for food. They do not have much seating - there are some tables and like the lounge benches and then a small table with two chairs in the middle and then the two chairs near the window. The food itself was tasty and quite filling. I had the satay peanut noodles with chicken. It was more than enough for me. My friend also ordered a noodle dish and some wontons. Since I was unable to finish it, I asked for a lid which they have plenty of and they even offered me a bag. They also have a water station. I think this place is more of a fast casual takeout place but it does have seating. It isn't the most comfortable place to catch up with a friend but the food is good and better than freezing in the cold. read more

Native Noodles - Satay Peanut Noodles - Singaporean Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered takeout from this place and it did not disappoint. Ordered a few dishes since me and my friends were going to share. We got the Laksa noodles with shrimp and the Laksa noodles in soup version with shrimp. Both of these were good. The broth of the laksa noodle soup was so tasty. We also ordered the popcorn chicken and this was one of my favorite. So crunchy and it had like a slight sweet taste to it but in a good way. The Singapore noodles with tofu were also a favorite. Really good and the tofu was nice to add and lastly we ordered the crispy mashed potatoes patties. Overall food was really good and would definitely come back to try more. read more

Underwhelming. I went cus I heard it was sooooo good. I heard the laksa and chili crab pasta was good. I figured I'd get the laksa cus it seemed the most popular. Flavor was good. Noodles were alright. Service is okay. I heard the laksa and chili crab go well together but ordering both would have been too much food and carbs. I was thinking of getting the chili crab with the buns but opted out. Now regretting if I should have just tried the chili crab. I don't know what's authentic but to me it was okay. It wasn't something I would rave about read more

Singapore hawker stall fare comes to upper Manhattan Location: The wildly popular Native Noodles from the Queens night market has a location in Washington Heights. We almost missed the location because there is very limited signage which could be aesthetic choice or a cost effective choice. We entered the mostly take-out location with about six seats with three table and a bar seating near the window. It must be difficult to social distance in this space but we tried out best. Food/Drinks: We picked up the Yelp perk of the two appetizers. The shrimp fritters crispy shrimp (5 pieces) coated in their homemade batter with sweet chili dipping sauce and the boiled pork & shrimp wontons dumplings (6 pieces) served with homemade dipping sauce. The shrimp fritters were large and quite filling. The dumplings were also plump and very well packed with pork and shrimp. For the lunch, we ordered the classic Laksa, our signature dish with shrimp and soft-boiled egg (+$1), slow cooked coconut shrimp-based curry, thick rice noodles, bean sprouts, cucumbers, crispy onions for $12.50. The laksa had a brilliant yellow color from the firm turmeric flavoring. There was good umami with a solid lunch portion. We also order the satay peanut with creamy peanut sauce, thick egg noodles, soft-boiled egg, cucumbers, scallions, crispy onions for $12. The boiled egg included with the vegan satay item Service: With limited space in this location, the staff brought out the order and everything went pretty smoothly. I felt a bit of a cool vibe from the staff taking the orders. We observed some Singaporeans who stopped by the location with some sincere excitement about this new location but the staff was not particularly interested in them at all. Overall: Solid uptown location for unique Singaporean dishes with a variety of strong umami flavors. read more

I came here with my brother after doing a virtual yelp elite event that I greatly enjoyed. I loved making laksa noodles with Amy. This restaurant is extremely hard to find. There is no sign and my brother and I drove by 4 times until we realized it was a signless small place. The restaurant is very tiny and the bathroom is in the kitchen, which I found very unsanitary. The man at the counter was rude to me and I didn't get any warm vibes. Just very cold. The fried shrimp appetizer was bland and way too over cooked. I could barely eat it. My laksa noodles were so spicy that I couldn't eat them. They also looked like noodles you get from an Asians super market dried in a vip of noodles instead of being hand made. The shrimp on top was good so that's legit the reason why there is one star. Honestly, I was horribly disappointed. read more

So sad! I really wanted to support them in terms of as a future customer, but their food is lacking. The laksa soup ($14) here is very one dimensional and the portion size is very small. I had to cook another meal after getting takeout. I would definitely say this is a place you bring people who have never had Singaporean food before in their life. I am not Singaporean, but I grew up eating laksa and other foods so I know a good one when I see/taste one. The pro is that their service is super super friendly. The worker was able to make my Kopi coffee iced - milky + sweet ($3) and also helped to remedy a misunderstanding about the menu regarding the laksa. I would go back to only try the sayur lodeh, but I don't have high hopes for it. Noticed that their location is really close by 168th Street so targeting the hospital workers + possible students which I saw ordering. read more

What. A. Gem! Look, I think you should ask less questions and just go. I had a chance to try an appetizer (shrimp fritters) as part of a Yelp Elite experience, and also added some entrees as part of the to-go order. The Roti John Sandwich was BANGIN' and the satay peanut noodles were to die for (I added chicken). I now understand why this place gets so many raves. Next on my list is their laksa noodles, especially since I got to partake in the virtual cooking lesson for that dish. So savory and comforting and tasty. read more

I'd first encountered Native Noodles at the Queens International Night Market when I tried their amazing laksa, and was pretty interested by the founder's journey from Singapore to business school in NYC to creating a Singaporean food startup. So, I was thrilled to hear that Native Noodles had set up shop in their own storefront in Morningside Heights. I made a trek to upper Manhattan on a sunny Saturday to try out a bunch of things, and I can easily say that this is a must-try, especially if you've never had Singaporean food! I'm a huge fan of the cuisines of that region (Malaysian and Indonesian -- try out Kopitiam and Awang Kitchen if you're interested in further exploration of those countries!), and there's something really magical about how Singapore's cultures are reflected in their delicious food. The Night Market was such a great first venue, because it approximated the experience of hopping between stalls in a Singaporean hawker center. You've GOT to try the chili crab buns ($8), and order the extra buns because the dip portion is generous. omg, what a delicious combo -- I'm not normally a bun/dumpling person, but these golden-crisp, pillowy mantou are perfect. I like to split the buns in half and pour some dip over, then fold the bun back together so that it makes a teensy, sloppy slider. This is a classic dish and the chili crab is super umami and delicious. The shrimp fritters ($7.50 for 5) are whole shrimp coated in a golden, airy batter and fried to perfection; while they are a big unwieldy to dip in the sweet chili sauce, I ended up just pouring some sauce over the length of the shrimp and found that a much easier way to eat them. Really nice, plump shrimp! I was very curious about the roti john sandwich and had already enjoyed the laksa (seriously, laksa is one of my top 10 best foods in the world), but we decided to get the Singapore noodles ($11), a childhood favorite of mine, and the Satay Peanut noodles ($12). The Singapore noodles had a pretty solid seasoning blend and the signature turmeric-yellow color (though I feel like I remember my favorite restaurant's rendition being a little spicier??), and went well with a shrimp addition. The Satay Peanut noodles were also well-sauced, and had excellent textural contrast with sliced cucumber, a soft-boiled egg with a perfect jammy center, and crispy fried shallots. Both of these can be had vegetarian, though I think it'd be hard for vegans to find a complete meal here since a lot of the noodles are egg noodles and most dishes contain eggs or meat. When I come back, I definitely want to get some of their kaya (coconut jam), which is, to me, one of the best sweet condiments! The space is cozy and takeout is packaged nicely for a block-long walk to the nearby park for al fresco dining. Portion sizes are generous and the prices are super reasonable; I'm looking forward to having their laksa again! read more

Clearly I'm not the only one who's realized this is one of the few places in the NYC area offering quality fare from Singapore/Malaysia (my only other recommendation being Kopitiam). While we waited for our peanut satay noodles, we saw at least 5 cars stop by for drive-by pickups, some with out of state license plates. There is barely even a sign to alert you to this restaurant's presence. Rather, look out for Luigi's Pizza next door to find this skinny restaurant with limited seating. And once your food has come, I recommend a jaunt to the benches on the nearby Highbridge for a rare meal on a former aqueduct. Anyway, the peanut satay noodles, in my case with tofu, were amazing. Wonderful soft boiled egg and crispy tofu. I'll be back to try the vegetarian Singapore mee fun as well, and secretly praying they expand their menu to toast / egg breakfast offerings from this part of the world. read more

Native Noodles - Satay noodles with tofu - Singaporean Near Me - New York, New York

A Singapore noodle shop? In Washington Heights? WHAT?! Yes, that is right. It is a hole in the wall, it might as well be, as there is no signage up front, just a sandwich board outside dictating who they are and what they sell. Walking in is no wonder either. A counter and a few tables, that is it. Taking a gander at the menu, which is also pretty limited, and me being fairly limited in knowledge of Singapore cuisine, I asked what was popular. I got three answers; the Chili Crab Buns, the Laksa noodles, and the Calamansi Lemonade. So I ordered all three. The lemonade arrived first. I saved that for my entrée knowing it was going to be spicy. It proved to be the right call. The right amount of sweet and sour, with just enough hint of a lime to take some of the pressure off. It works well if you utilize it properly. The Chili Crab Buns arrived next. At first I thought this would be special, but sadly, it is not. It is essentially fried dough balls with chili crab dipping sauce. I was rather disappointed in this, as I was hoping for a bit more. Maybe I did not do it right, but I felt cheated. Maybe you are supposed to pour the dip over the dough balls? Not sure. Either way, not worth getting again. Saving the entrée for last, the noodles naturally arrived last. This is where I pushed all the right buttons. The shrimp prawns are an excellent protein source complement the rice noodles and gripping the coconut curry sauce for exquisite taste. The soft boiled eggs are creamy and add an element to the sauce that makes more than just a spicy cream sauce. Of course, the noodles are the star of this dish, and they glisten beautifully against the beauty of the sauce, the bean sprouts, and cucumbers. The spice level is perfect and is 100% manageable without having you run for the water cooler every five seconds. It is also why this review is a four star review instead of a three star review. If it weren't for being such a hike, I would come back here soon. Otherwise, I will leave this as a favorite in my Asian Sensations collection for you to consider, that is if you want to be just as amazed as I was, and make the trek to Washington Heights. read more

So yummy and flavorful and spiced well!! The people here are so nice and the space is very cute and clean for dine in. I really like the coconut vegetable stew, so good i would marry it read more

Finally got to visit yesterday and claim my Yelp Elite Perk which was Boiled Wonton Dumplings complete with a soy garlic sesame dipping sauce. Delicious, thanks Native Noodles! Of course we also wanted to try some of their best dishes so we also got the Laksa Noodles, Chili Crab Pasta and the Honey Roasted Pork over Rice. The Chili Crab Pasta was good, it was more sweet versus savory and there's obviously a hint of spice given it's Chili Crab but it's tolerable and good. The Honey Roasted Pork was our favorite among everything we ordered. It reminded me of a cross between Filipino Adobo and Asado dish so if you like that savory sweet combo, you'll enjoy this. As for the Laksa, I've never been a Laksa person as I feel it's an acquired taste but it was good, just not our favorite. I'm sure those who love Laksa will appreciate this dish. :) Overall, a small charming newcomer who is already making a name for itself and drawing crowds with its good reviews. Looking forward to continue to support and see what else they will add to the menu. Perhaps Singaporean coffee and coffee buns? And hopefully add some Asian drinks and desserts too! :) read more

I've seen Native Noodles on social media and featured on Yelp. I've been really eager to try it and finally had the chance to get uptown! Native Noodles is in an unassuming spot and hard to miss if you don't look at the signage close up or know the structure of the building. I got the fried dumplings with a Yelp perk, and I was surprised how much you could really taste the shrimp. They were really crispy and delicious. We ordered the chili crab noodles and laksa lunch special with shrimp, as recommended. The chili crab noodles were great! Other reviews mention umami flavor I agree with that. The rose milk was a great compliment to the dishes and tasted a little like lychee too! The drink is was sweeter than I expected. I was a little disappointed with the laksa. Maybe it was because I ordered the lunch portion but after mixing the curry and noodles, the curry tasted a little diluted. I had high expectations after seeing all the great reviews and pictures and they were overall met. It's great to see a Singaporean restaurant in this area! Check them out if you can! read more

Native Noodles is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. For appetizers, I ordered popcorn chicken and the chili crab dip. The popcorn chicken is perfectly fried in that it remained tender. The subtle sweetness of the butter cereal crunch with each fried chicken bite is really delicious. The buns that come with the chili crab dip have a hint of sweetness and once you enjoy it with the dip, wow. Sweet and spicy come together and make one yummy combo. For my main dish, I got the laksa with chicken which was extremely flavorful. For the flavor, price, and value, I highly recommend Native Noodles. read more

Probably my all time fav restaurant for Laksa! I love the laksa at Urban Hawkers but I can never remember the name of the spot I get laksa, whereas, the laksa was so good at this restaurant that I will never forget how memorable and flavorful the laksa was. Unfortunately, I'm now based in Brooklyn but I would gladly trek to this restaurant for their laksa!! read more

Chili crab buns that could just be the review alone but let me elaborate... this place is in now way lavish in any form it has more of ah aunty or moms kitchen feel. If you're not careful you'll miss is so you have to really pay attention, I love all Asian food honestly so when I found this place and saw they had chili crab in any form I wanted in. I ordered from here on two separate occasions both to go orders although there is spaces to sit and eat. I got the chili crab bun and the shrimp appetizer I forgot the name both soo good I loved the shrimp dipping sauce had ah nice spice. The buns were so pillowy and soft I couldn't contain my self lol and the crab dip was yummy. The chili crab pasta is good as well but must eat immediately or your sauce will dry up. read more

I'm glad to know there is a spot around to get fast delivery and a handful of comfort food items. There isn't enough consistency or things I'm wowed by throughout the various orders I've placed to warrant more than 3-stars. But that's A-OK because this is a decent option when you're in that "I am so hangry the next person I come in contact with my back away from my energy alone" space. For me, that's usually being in hour 10+ of an insane work day and I need to eat something before I cry. So I need a place I know won't take an hour+ to get to me and the order comes correct. I've never had Native Noodle take more than 30-ish mins to get to my door (and I'm not far...but certainly not close, which speaks to their delivery zone). I've ordered multiple times and only once did they miss an add-in (but everything else was correct). And you can always pop stuff right out the bag and into your face. I've made it through and have feels about: Laksa Noodles - solid. Satay Peanut Noodles - I know everyone is about that Chili Crab Pasta (I haven't tried that yet)...but from what I've tried this dish should be the star of the menu. Amazing peanut sauce. Nice heat. Perfect noodle texture. Goes GREAT with the honey pork. Huge portion. Even reheats perfectly the next day. I've never excluded this from my orders. I'm drooling as I type. Pork and Shrimp Dumplings - I've had these fried and steamed. "Prefer" steamed, though I'm not really about either since they are rather bland on their own. The sauce they give you has nice flavor and kick. But I like dumplings that can stand alone and are amplified by sauce, not reliant on it. Singapore Noodles - I mean...this could be a great version of this dish for you if you're someone who likes things on the less seasoned / more mild side...or think that American Chinese restaurants go way too heavy on the curry, spices and mix ins...? Roti John - pass for me. Not like what I had while traveling. Picture on their site is way more stuffed than what you get. Light on flavor. Mostly bread. Side of stir fried bok choy - solid. Calamansi Lemonade - Exceptional. Coffee (Kopi C style) - bomb (in the good interpretation of the word). All that shared, I think this is a "figure out what works for you and keep gettin' your grub on" kinda place. You might just have to make your way through a thing or two to figure out that groove. read more

I was excited to go here to try what I though would be great food. The location wasn't much to look at and it had the basic hole in the wall ambiance, so for the price I paid I was expecting some really good food or at least a decent portion. I got neither, the food was subpare and for the price we got really small portions(think fine dinning portions). Laska plus shrimp is $13+$1.50 The paste had a great lemongrass and coconut curry flavor, but the noodles could not hold up to it and were super soft and over cooked. Shrimps were ok. Chili crab bun $8 This was just weird we got 4 fried bun the size of half a clementine and a cold sweet tomato sauce with a small lump of crab thrown in it. Wonton dumpling noodle $12.50 This dish was the most disappointing. The noodles were very bland and the dumplings were fried wontons which seemed like they were frozen for a long time. Crispy potato patties(Begedil) $7.50 This was the only saving grace. The patties although looken a bit dark and over cooked, tasted good and had decent value. If I only ordered this item I would have goven this place 4 stars The service was good and the staff was friendly. read more

Carbs carbs carbs carbs carbs. Looks like I'm starting this year on a Body Positivity note. I found myself in the neighborhood during an assignment for work and it's truly a neighborhood restaurant, as it was an itch to get to by local transportation. After a worth-while trek, I had a hard time deciding between the John Roti sandwich or the Satay Peanut Noodles. So, naturally I bought both. *oink* The decorum brings to wonder if the restaurant is still in the process of opening or transitioning to the covid trends of takeout or closing. I found myself awkwardly trying to find a place to sit, so I instead decided to read a news article (also awkwardly positioned) on the wall behind a plant. It's a cute origin story of the restaurant that's worth a read as you wait for your order. Normally on the off-occasion that I find myself in a Singaporean restaurant, I opt for some rectum scorching Laksa noodles, but as of late I've been hankering for some peanut noodles and according to previous reviews this seems to be the wiser choice. I also normally wouldn't pay any mind to the Roti sandwich but was recommended through a listicle from a well-known food publication that rhymes with Peter. This has taught me the valuable life lesson that I should not be getting life advice from a magazine. I should know better after trying that sex position I read from Cosmopolitan; *spoiler alert* my penis hurts. The Roti sandwich was all around alright. I really couldn't distinguish what the flavor the meat was marinated in, as it was very mild. My opinion of the dish can be summed up to the "I don't know emoji". The Peanut Satay is where I sink into the comfort of Singaporean cuisine. The spicy and sweet richness was a fine momentary replacement for the lack of actual richness in my own life, accompanied by an abundance of beef cuts tenderly tearable by a mere touch of my scissor teeth. It's a win. read more

Omg another hole in the wall spot with INCREDIBLE food. There's nothing I love better than a tiny unassuming bare-bones restaurant with killer food. Native Noodles is exactly that. Be warned this place is semi hard to spot because the sign outside is so small! I feel like you have to be brought here by someone or told about it, because if I was just walking down the street looking for a place to grab food I'd walk right past it. The inside is clean and semi small but there was plenty of seating when I arrived with my friend. It's definitely nothing fancy so don't expect crazy ambiance. Native Noodles has Singaporean inspired dishes with unique twists. My friend and I ordered the pork and shrimp steamed dumplings, chili crab buns, Singapore noodles with pork, and satay peanut noodles with pork. Oh my god everything was DELICIOUS. I've had chili crab from hawker centers in Singapore and I was sooo impressed with the chili crab buns. A super unique take while preserving the flavors and feel of THE national Singapore dish. The roast pork in the both the noodle dishes was tender and flavorful, and the sauce on the peanut noodles was sweet and spicy and so yummy. We also got kalamansi lemonades which were perfectly complementing to our meal. Native Noodles is a must-try spot. Im already craving those peanut noodles and can't wait till I'm back in the Heights so I can try their laksa and dessert. read more

I have ordered takeout from here a few times and also went for sit down dining. They require proof of vaccination if you want to dine in. The food is good and prices are fair. I have tried most of the noodles on the menu and they are all good in their own way and I would recommend trying them all out. The popcorn chicken appetizer is good as well, with coconut shavings (?) to add a touch of sweetness. I got it for takeout so it wasn't as crunchy, so I would recommend only getting it if you are dining in. The restaurant itself is small, with a few tables. There wasn't much of a wait for a table on a weekday night. The staff also disinfect after every customer. Overall definitely recommended. read more

What an incredible little place churning out really big flavors. I got the laska noodles with tofu and that curry is packed with dried shrimp flavor and some nice heat. It's super satisfying. My husband ordered the wonton dumpling noodles - also incredible and a reminder that the the pork and shrimp wontons are a MUST-get item the next time we order. (They're so, so good!) his addition of roasted pork was also a smart move- the pork is sweet and tender and tastes amazing. The menu is filled with items we want to come back and try.

Came here a month ago after just moving to NY so I was very excited to see that there was Singaporean food option! The prices were very affordable and the food was very yummy. However this is not a good sit down restaurant! The restaurant had a foul smell to it that made it hard to enjoy the meal since it would overpower the food and there was no service at all despite sitting down. But that should have been a given because their bowls and utensils were all take out. If you want to come here, highly recommend taking it home to eat! read more

This chili crab noodle is pretty good, so shiok! All kidding aside I thought the food tasted like the genuine article. I've visited Singapore several times in the past 5 years and I always get chili crab when I'm the neighborhood. This version is a bit sweeter and tangy than I'm used to. There is a healthy amount of crab in this. Everything on the menu looks quite nice and is true to the flavors of Singapore. I really must try the buns with the chili crab sauce because that is by far my most favorite part, the BREAD and SAUCE . So far I've only seen this place make it. Will be back again.

Native Noodles - Chili Crab Pasta - Singaporean Near Me - New York, New York

De-li-cious. Love having a Singaporean noodle shop here in Harlem. Our favorite dishes in order*: 1. Boiled wonton appetizer - savory, chewy filling wrapped in a tender, delicate QQ wrapper dipped in a tasty sauce. 2. Singaporean noodles - thin and chewy noodles with just the right amount of curry flavor. 3. Charshiu rice (honey pork.over rice) - delicious sauce 4. Satay peanut noodles - great texture to the noodles and wonderful sauce that brought it all together. Chicken was a bit dry but fine when mixed with the sauce. 5. Mantou with chili crab sauce. I usually prefer these with condensed milk, but I appreciated the exploration of the savory-sweet-spicy-umami flavors here. Good but not my favorite: 1. Popcorn chicken - too sweet for my tastes, but I can see why people like it. 2. Laksa noodles - good sauce, but not my favorite style of noodles (medium round, like extra thick spaghetti noodles but made of rice) *The soft-boiled eggs that came with many of the dishes was perfect. Well worth the $1 it costs to add it. read more

What a cute little spot! Didn't realize it was right around the corner from my work. It has a Hamptons-esque type feel. Though because of social distancing there are only two tables and another table against the window. I got the shrimp laksa noodles, a delicious lemonade and the wonton dumplings. The laksa noodles aren't a soup so be prepared if you're craving that. The laksa does have a kick which is expected, food is fresh and complimented well with my lemonade. Wontons are always a good choice! Can't go wrong here! read more

This is my first time every trying Singaporean food. I have to say that these are some of the best textured noodles I have every had!!! The flavor of my dish was incredible. I had the chili crab noodles that acutally have flaky bits of crab in it. The chili sauce has a great sweet but not overly sweet flavor and the very nice heat was also amazing. My friend had the Laksa noodles with shrimp and that dish was also great (for those that don't like curry, don't order this). The only reason for the 4 and not 5 stars is that I was not a fan of the chili dip but the buns were amazing. Oh, and the dumplings were also good with a sesame dipping sauce. YUM!!!!! read more

Loooooove looooove Native Noodles. I could probably have them everyday...such a treat! I have tasted a few dishes over the last few months- Singapore noodles, peanut noodles, laksa noodles, the huge shrimp, popcorn chicken and waffles (divine!!). My absolute favorite noodle dish is the peanut noodles. Hands down must get. I equally love the shrimp and chicken for apps. Likely would skip Singapore noodles in the future. I've dined in, but also get delivery often. It's super fast and quality is the same as dine in. The spice levels seem to vary though, so if you don't like spicy, I would let them know. Get the entire menu, you won't be disappointed!! I look forward to continuing to try new dishes. Thank you Native Noodles! read more

It has a very discreet store front, walked right past it. I was recommended to try it when I was in the area. I ordered the Laksa and the Popcorn Chicken. Both were very delicious! The only thing I would say was kinda disappointing was that everything was packaged in to-go containers even tho I was dining-in. Otherwise it would've been a slightly better experience.

Edit: After seeing the other reviews, it seems that they do not do Dine-in plating, but my experience still stands. read more

I ordered the beef bowl w/ garlic + ginger rice, roti John sandwich, and shrimp + pork dumplings. The ginger + garlic rice was pretty tasty. I really liked how it complimented the marinated beef. The beef wasn't as tender for being thinly sliced and the marinade had a bit of a bitter after taste. The Roti John sandwich was spicy! I'm not a spicy fan but I thought I'd try it anyway b/c it had raving reviews. Honestly, it was OK. I think if the bread was toasted, it could have worked since there would be a crunchy texture in each bite. Instead it was mushy all the way through. The pork and shrimp dumplings were fab! I really liked these and would order a dozen next visit. There is a chunky piece of shrimp in each bite and the pork filling will keep you full and satisfied too. read more

I went here and got take out since its impossible to park in this neighborhood so I stayed in the car with my hazards on while my sister ordered the food. I got the crab noodles. The aroma was amazing. The food was delicious it was real crab, fresh noodles and just the right amount of spice. I would come back again without my car if I was already in the area to try other food on the menu. read more

This restaurant is a bit small and has a bit of a plain exterior, though my friend and I were really intrigued by the menu and decided to order dinner here for take-out. I got the Singapore Fried Noodles while my friend got the Laksa Noodles, one of the recommended items. The portions were pretty large and flavorful, though my noodles were a bit oily and rather clumped together. I highly recommend asking for a side of hot sauce that you can mix in to taste. Something that was really off-putting was watching through the kitchen window at the people preparing our food...without masks or gloves...definitely not something you want to see during Covid :/ read more
