One of the hidden local gems in Branson, staff is always friendly, atmosphere is calm and the food is always consistent and great.

My family had lunch at Noodle 21 while on vacation in Branson. The food was so good that we came back for dinner. Everything we tried was good. The service was amazing, and the price was fair. $$ out of 5 on the price. If you want to try Ramen that isn't cooked at home in a microwave this is a great place for that. The sushi was very good. read more

I had a craving for Thai food while passing thru the area. I was happy to see there were a few options close by. When I arrived the owner was talking with another customer who was waiting on a to go order. She was very friendly and they seemed well acquainted. The lady greeted me quickly, provided me with a menu and was quick to take my order. My one disappointment was they didn't serve Thai tea OR Thai Coffee, both of which are my weakness!! The inside was decorated well, very inviting and offered plenty of space for diners. I'm in a bit of a hurry atm but look forward to coming back. read more

recommended by friends of ours but underwhelming food. Branson just doesn't have a lot of decent Asian food

I ordered the Thai drunken chicken as you can see in the picture there was very little chicken very little vegetables I paid $9.76 and got a few slivers of Bellpepper's and the rest were mainly noodles and they were all grouped in clump together. Not a good first impression. Decided to give them a second try. I WONT GO BACK! I ordered the yskisoba this time. No veggies hardly AT ALL. Chicken was dry. At least this one came with the crab Rangoon. So disappointed read more

We were on the vacation this week with kids and family to Branson.We went to this restaurant after our hotel receptions recommended it. The waitress was really bad , she clearly did not want to serve people of color. She was rushing us to order food in 5 mins. it's was rude and food that came was horrible to say the least. she did not even got what we ordered and missed the desert I ordered for my son. She did not even inform about that. to sum it up , I will not recommend anyone specially if you are black or brown to this restaurant. read more

This place was great. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. I only finished half my bowl and still had an entire to go box. The interior had some really fun signs that I really liked. read more

Tried this for the first time today. It was AMAZING! My husband had the spicy drunken noodles with beef. He loved it! Mine was the spicy Korean noodle dish with shrimp. I not only loved the flavor and ample portion size, but the textures going on in it were spectacular. In with the ramen are crunchy spirolized veggies like carrot and onion. The broccoli had the best flavor. We both had a hard time stopping ourselves from eating the whole thing though we were VERY full. The service was great! Sweetest lady waited on us. I highly recommend. Oh and another of the best things, it's not right down town so no traffic! 5 STARS! read more

This is our favorite weekend take out spot. I always order the shrimp pad thai and my husband orders 3 different sushi rolls and we share. It is our GO TO!! The food is always on point! The prices are very reasonable and they always get our food ready in a very reasonable amount of time. We have never actually went in to dine so I have no clue about the dine in service but the service for take out is top notch!! read more

Love the food here but I've been in the area for 3 years and tonight, the service is just the worst. The server was rude to me, when I've been nice since the moment we walked in and I always say thank you whenever she handed the drinks and menu, but I asked for one thing in the most nicest way and I got interrupted in the middle of my sentence with her "give me one second I need to bring their drinks". I get it, they're understaffed that night or whatever, but just because I'm local doesn't mean I get treated poorly than the tourists. The three star is coz she apologized to me upon handing us our bill. As much as I love the food here I think I'll stick to going to Momo's for my sushi cravings. read more

Have never ate inside always order to go, but my daughter loves the ramen and the chicken pad ti is really good!

This is my new favorite restaurant in this neighborhood! I've tried the jin ramen, pho noodles, japanese ramen, and the pad thai and I can say they were the best noodles I've had out here! Plus, the prices are good! Definitely check it out if you've never been here before :) Also, service is always amazing! Very friendly employees! read more

Noodle 21 is tucked into a strip mall which gives it an unappealing presence. When we walked in (twice now) it took several minutes to be seated. In fact last time a guy at the bar, not sure if he was a cook or what told me "hey! Its going to be a minute" this was due to short staffing which again is something I have encountered both times eating there. It was like pulling teeth to get a water refill. Busy night and the place only has to two servers tops. Now you might be thinking this sounds more like a one or two star review not a three, well let me let you in on a little secret. Everything I have ordered has been FANTASTIC. The stone bowls, pho, ect. Great authentic taste. Very satisfying and LARGE portions. Finally though, I've gotten it down to a science. Either eat at a slower time so the minimal staff can care for you OR order to go. That seems the best way to skip the unpleasantness and enjoy the best part. THE FOOD read more

Noodle 21 - Beef Pho - Japanese Near Me - Branson, Missouri

We had a good takeout experience. The ramen and the udon dishes were great! It was very tasty and not "just another Chinese" spot. Some of the heat from one container made another container collapse in the bag on the way home. Perhaps a warning of the very hot contents would be good. read more

The egg rolls and crab Rangoons were pretty good. My husband liked the pad Thai. The ramen was a disappointment. Another person in our group got the chicken teriyaki and it was very under seasoned. read more

Got the tonkatsu ramen and miso ramen and both were very enjoyable! Portion size was good, but if you want any extra toppings for the ramen they don't provide much more. Overall, would eat there again! read more

Since we can't find a Chinese restaurant we like here decided to try here, we both had the teriyaki bowls. They were hot, never have I seen teriyaki sauce served cold, and light colored but thankfully it was on the side and I did not use much. The dish was filling because it was mostly all rice. The chicken was very dry but if you mixed it in the rice, it was better. Don't know if we will return, just not that special. But maybe one day try something else that will make us like this place more. read more

The food was very good BUT you need to deep clean your restaurant. Filthy..wash tables, windows, lights, floor...dirty!

I just recently left the Branson Missouri location. I have been there two times before this and it was really good. The menu was different this time and I asked the server what to order based on what I had last time. What she suggested was completely different and the noodles were horrible tasting. Then my mom ordered a shrimp rice bowl and got chicken, which wasn't fully cooked. We tried telling the waitress and all she did was say the menu was different now. She didn't offer to make us something else or possibly fix our meals. We are a few bites and then asked for the check. It was 19.81 and we have to still go find another place to eat. Maybe other locations are still good, but this was very disappointing. read more

I loved this experience here and the food was amazingly done. The Pho dishes were delicious! They come in big proportions, but at a good price and good quality food. read more

My husband, I and 3 year old went during the evening. We had do wait about 5 minutes but didn't mind because the social distancing was very nice when we were seated. We ordered the phad thai, red curry, a couple sushi rolls and plain fried rice kids meal. Everything was delicious and fresh - sushi is in good sized pieces and was well prepared. Will definitely be back! read more

Awesome food nice location off 248 easy in and out great sushi and the Get the yum yum sauce on everything ! read more

Pho soups. Noodles were great,service was not. I will not eat here again unless I crave a soup while in Branson. Food experience was neutral. read more

I went with my mother and we both ordered an entree. our waitress only gave us one plate of food, and Two drinks. The food was great but the service not so much. not only did she not give us the correct order she also came to refill out drinks and only refilled mine after we both asked politely. The place is clean and food is good but just keep in mind that you may have to ask for things MULTIPLE times. read more

Wonderful, fresh food. They appeared to be unstaffed or it was just a busy night for them but the ladies working handled it was ease. We had A++ service. read more

This is our regular spot for sundays after church. The staff knows us and are always so helpful and nice. They make my younger kiddos "kid chopsticks" which is so above and beyond. They are just awesome. The food never disappoints. My husband gets ramen and pork dumplings most of the time, although we've had the sushi too. I get different things, but my favorite is their bi bim bap. It's really good. Also, their crab rangoon and fried rice read more

Ok soooo I'm a local and I was not impressed by my recent experience. The sushi was falling apart, noodles were literally just like ramen noodles without flavor, soy sauce was beyond salty, crab Rangoons were not cooked all the way threw. And the fried rice was literally the only thing that was made to perfection. I'm not all about bashing a business especially threw this time with covid but the lady that took my order, Teresa was so sweet over the phone. The lady that actually got my order, older and acted like I was an annoyance was clearly not. I definitely made sure that I found Teresa to make sure she got a tip, other than that once I got back home across town to actually eat the food, myself and my family were beyond dissatisfied, and disappointed. I will not be going back and stick with MoMo's. The only reason I really didn't even go to MoMo's was because they couldn't even answer the phone because they were so busy. Really dissatisfied with the food on every level. They have dropped their game from the past when they actually did provide good food. Now it's just plain nasty. read more

Best ramen that I've had! Would definitely come back for the food and friendly service.

This was a really good meal and the staff was extremely friendly with fast and great service

Came across this place on the way to pie five since the pizza places on the strip were a joke, the reviews were good on Google so we came back the next day for lunch. Prices are reasonable and food was good with good portion sizes, the staff was also attentive and nice. read more

Nothing to write home about. Apps are good. Ramen was all heat. Broth needed more depth. Not bad, just not a go out of your way place.

Used to be our favorite place to eat, no longer. Horrible rude service, food was different and noodles were cold . New cooks and managers... So sad because they had the best food in town. read more
