I went to the Gatherall for a Yelp event and saw Nice Nice as soon as I walked in the door. Immediately, I remembered reading articles by local food writers saying that "You have to try the garlic noodles!" So after my event, I ordered some from the lovely young man to take home. I don't eat noodle dishes on a regular basis, but OMG, these are pure comfort! I agree with others that the addition of shrimp would be lovely. I am looking forward to going back to try more of the menu. read more

Nice Nice Noodles and Rice - Yum! - Filipino Near Me - Norwood, Ohio

I didn't think I like this type of cuisine, but Nice Nice changed my mind for the better! Chef Mapi was super welcoming and happy to give recommendations and descriptions of any dishes. I got the famous Garlic Noodles, and they're famous for a reason. Lightly dressed in soy sauce and tossed with loads of butter and parmesan. It tastes like an Asian carbonara in a way. And they pack the containers full. You'll definitely have leftovers! The Bam-i noodles were just as good, filled with various sautéed Asian vegetables. Lastly, the popcorn chicken is very well seasoned and perfectly poppable. It's not really spicy like the description may imply, so it's great for kids! read more

I'm trying to remember what brought me here. Maybe they were at the Asian street food festival? I'm not sure. But their garlic noodles are some of the best I've ever had in my life. They are very heavy but so so smooth and delicious! It must be the butter with the garlic together. But they are amazing! Definitely a couple of meals in one if you like to eat a bit lighter. They are located at the Factory 52 food haul so it's very much of a food court ambiance but there is a bar nearby to make up for that. Highly recommend! read more

Nice Nice Noodles and Rice - Garlic noodles were superb! - Filipino Near Me - Norwood, Ohio

Came to factory 52 and decided to try something different that I haven't had before. OK to nice noodle and got the teriyaki chicken with rice. I also asked for chili sauce on the side. It was just all right nothing special. Just like your typical Chinese food at food court. There wasn't that much teriyaki sauce on the chicken to make it crispy or drenched in a sticky glaze with lots of flavor and a few pieces of broccoli, just wasn't enough to make this dish special. I'm glad I got the chili sauce on the side to add a little bit more flavor. I like my Chinese food to have enough sauce and flavor to seep into the rice and without the chili sauce and extra soy sauce they put on the side it would have been too dry. I might come back to Tri of the other dishes like the noodles or eggroll, but I definitely won't be getting the teriyaki chicken again. read more

Located in the Gatherall Food Hall, Nice Nice sits in the middle of a lively, bustling environment. We got the most popular item, the garlic noodles and added shrimp for +$4. The food was ready in about 15 minutes. The first issue is that for a steep upcharge, they only gave 4 shrimp. The noodles were cooked well, but lacked any real asian flavor to them. It was predominantly buttery with a bit of a garlic taste but nothing more than that. The flavor was decadent and ok overall but it was not bursting with flavor as you would expect from Asian cuisine. This and the lack of shrimp led to a mediocre experience. read more

Truly no better comfort food that a big container of steaming hot garlic noodles from Nice Nice Noodles and Rice. I have a hard time not ordering them every time I am at the Gatherall. I also love the lumpia-- especially because it comes with Filipino vinegar that is just so tangy and delicious. I wish I could buy it by the bottle. I have loved every dish I've tried at Nice Nice and am always excited when Chef Mapi adds new items to the menu. read more

I came for the garlic noodles and will be back for the garlic noodles. The rich umami flavor is addicting. The noodles are cooked perfectly. We also got the popcorn chicken and it was crispy and delicious. Can't wait to see what is in store for this chef's future. read more

5 for the pork lumpia alone! I don't really care for the sauce that comes with it, but that's more just my preference than any fault of the sauce. The garlic noodles did not disappoint. They were served hot and fresh. I might add chicken or shrimp next time. My husband had the garlic shrimp. The shrimp were beautifully cooked and the sauce was great. My only wish is that there was more of it for the rice. That part kind of ended up being plain. read more

I finally went to Nice Nice Noodles and Rice to try the normal (not Chefs counter) menu, and it did not disappoint. First, I have to talk about the garlic noodles. They are al dente noodles with a garlic umami sauce topped with green onions and parmesan. They were absolutely delicious, and I can see why it's one of their most popular dishes. You can also add meat to it! I'm hoping to add shrimp next time. You MUST get these! So next, were the lumpia. During the Chef's counter, Chef Mapi and I were discussing his lumpia, and I will say that he did not disappoint. Is it my grandma's lumpia? No. But is the lumpia delicious and maintains authentic flavors with a crispy wrapping? Of course. It was good to try it, but I probably wouldn't go for it again. I can't wait to come back and try all the other noodles and rice dishes as well! read more

Stopped by the Gatherall today and finally tried Nice Nice which was quite yummy. I had the Loco Moco which is a bit like Salisbury steak piled on rice and topped with an egg. Angela had the Garlic noodles that were so good I had to keep stealing bites. We also shared some Lumpia and Broccolini. The POG juice is so good that it's worth coming here just for that. It's super easy to order here and the service is pretty quick. It's basically a big food court so there's plenty of seating. read more

Ordered sinigang fries and was not sure what I was expecting, maybe some sort of loaded fries situation. Got these plain fries that taste nothing like sinigang. Just over priced fries with salt and some sugar. Don't recommend ordering. read more

I came here for a Yelp event a week before and loved it so much that I came back to share it with my dad! The garlic noodles and lumpia are ELITE! The noodles are super rich in flavor but are heavy. They definitely make me a little sleepy after! The lumpia is phenomenal! Service is great! I love being able to find a seat and get messaged when the order is ready! Staff is always kind! Ambiance is great in the Great Hall! It's always lively and popular! 10/10 would recommend Nice Nice Noodles and Rice! read more

I had the sesame noodles with pork belly and wow the pork belly was amazing! Full of flavor and am cooked really well (pork belly can hard to cook well). Although it's called sesame noodles it's more of a peanut sauce but was great with the crunchy peanuts and thin cucumber strips. I'm looking forward to trying the lumpia in the future. read more

This is one of my favorite food stalls at Factory 52! I love their sushi, it is so fresh and just the right combination of ingredients. Unfortunately, the past few times that I've been at the Gatherall they didn't have sushi available. Hopefully it will be back on their menu soon. I have also tried the garlic noodles and teriyaki chicken. Both dishes were so flavorful. I would highly recommend trying any of their food! read more

I ordered the kids chicken teriyaki it was plain chicken and rice nothing teriyaki about it. I'm hoping they just forgot to include the sauce because if not that's the worst teriyaki chicken I've ever had but the portion was nice for the price . read more

The garlic noodles at Nice Nice are yum yum. I added shrimp to mine for some protein, but they would be good just by themselves. Fair warning, you will be tasting garlic for days after eating these, but it was totally worth it to me. read more

Nice nice noodle always come steaming, hot and delicious. I get the garlic noodles and add chicken and it's worth every dollar. This is located inside of gather all in Norwood kid friendly but mother approved. The service is always great and everything is freshly made, you should for sure pay them a visit. I know I do ; about once a week! read more

I positively adore Nice Nice Noodles and Rice! On this particular visit I got the garlic noodles topped with shrimp and is was amazing! The smell of cooked garlic and onions paired with shrimp was intoxicating and the taste had me enamored. The portion size was just right for me but if you're a human garbage disposal, mileage may vary. They got my order done quickly and it's nice to see the kitchen from the counter since you can have an idea on how Chef Mapi keeps a clean and organized kitchen. Definitely worth a try for some Filipino food! read more

Situated in the middle of a shitty part of town. This noisy ass food court is highly overrated. Food is way over priced. Servings are super small. Parking next to the building is a complete disaster. Won't be back! Not worth the drive. Too many other places in the area to eat at. read more

Amazing food across the entire menu! The Garlic Noodles are my favorite. Some of the best sushi I've had as well! Chef Mapi and his crew are the best! read more

My review is for the food alone as I ordered via a delivery app service (ie Grubhub, Doordash, etc.) . My food arrived hot. I ordered the vegetable garlic noodles upon a recommendation from a friend and added chicken and they were AMAZING. My only "complaint" is all of the chicken was tossed on top of the noodles in the takeout box. Like I could tell they scooped the noodles in and packed them down, and the. just added chicken to the top and closed the box. I would have preferred that it was mixed in. I am not sure if they are served the same way at the facility, I hope not. But the portion size was perfect and both the noodles and the chicken tasted great!!! read more
