I've gotten the Red Braised Beef Short Rib Noodle twice now for take out. The meat is tasty and tender. I will say they used spinach instead of bok choy for the vegetable but I was ok with that. The service is super fast, too. They provide a spicy chili sauce and vinegary soy sauce if you need an extra kick of spice or flavor. read more

Noodle Alley - Red Braised Beef Short Rib Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

We've been here in the past and knew more or less what to expect. There was no line when we went on a Tuesday at 5pm. Ordering was easy and straightforward. It looked like they expanded their menu since the last time we ate here. We opted for a Shoyu Beef Ramen Soup and a Hot Pot Beef Noodle Soup. We grabbed our water cups and a carafe filled with iced water from their beverage fridge, and chose our table to sit at. We chose a location away from the front entrance, which faces west towards the sun. Our food was quickly brought out to us less than 5 minutes later, and our soups were very good. They have a very spicy broth for their Hot Pot Noodle Soup, which P2 really enjoyed. I was also happy with my shoyu ramen, which I thought was seasoned perfectly. The music here wasn't loud and it was easy to carry a conversation. The interior aesthetics of this place reminded me of a Japanese restaurant, despite this restaurant servicing Taiwanese fare. Unfortunately, they don't sell alcohol here. I would have loved to drink a beer here with its solid vibes. I took off a star because of the blinding sunlight that pours into the space. Each time we came, we had to be strategic on where we sat so that we or our friends didn't have to face the sun. But other than that, Noodly Alley continues to be a reliable choice for authentic Taiwanese food. read more

The first time I went, this was so good...but I've come back a twice in the last two months and the same ramen was watered down and bland. I figured one time was an off-day, but twice in a row of not being worth the cost leads me elsewhere. read more

This is the second time I visit this location and every time it's been very pleasant, the food was delicious I recommend the soyu soup & the brisket steamed buns. Last time I tried their milk tea with boba but this time I got the green tea w passion fruit flavor & coconut jelly boba and it was my favorite. Very nice staff and attentive service, the ambiance is relaxing, clean and very on theme read more

I often crave Taiwanese tea house food, but have not been successful in finding any great places in this area yet. Noodle Alley was recommended by several of my family members and friends and we finally were able to try it. My family of four and I ordered several dishes, none were astounding, most were overly salty for my taste. I love the popcorn chicken with just salt and pepper and basil, this fell short of that--small pieces of chicken that lacked flavor and came with a spicy mayo dipping sauce. My families dishes (Dan Dan noodles, hot pot soup...all seemed to be too salty. Price was reasonable and they offer self-serve orange slices and pickled cucumbers (cucumbers were our favorite...just the right amount of tartness and crunch!) Probably won't return as it is a bit out of the way for us. read more

Wooooow. The food here was phenomenal. The portions are so large we definitely over bought. It's more self serve/order but the service was still great if you need anything additional.

We had Red braised beef short rib noodle, Shrimp and pork wonton chilly sauce and Steamed pork soup dumpling. The beef short rib is so tender and juicy, and the meat falls right off the bone effortlessly. The broth is also very rich and savory. Definitely recommend. Shrimp and pork wonton chili sauce is pretty decent too, but I personally liked the soup dumpling better. The flavor of the soup and the filling was perfectly balanced. read more

For the last 10 years or so Ramen has seen a meteoric rise in popularity, thus there are many levels of quality to be found in all the popup restaurants. So, what are some characteristics that determine a good vs great experience? I submit that the quality of broth, the meat, and of course the noodles are the most common features with a number of options also deserving of consideration. One of my criteria are freshly made noodles so after diligently searching I finally decided on Noodle Alley. Located off of Highway 183 in a small shop by Walmart, Noodle Alley is in a safe part of town with plenty of parking. The restaurant is very clean while showing plenty of bamboo furniture and fixtures. The place is small in a quaint way but a little too sterile and new in my opinion. The staff is friendly and more than willing to help, although my visit showed that I had to order at the front then food would and drinks would be brought out. For my first appetizer I ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It was ok however my mind was expecting Karaage which is Japanese. It was fried perfectly however the sauce was a little... forgettable. The fried spring rolls were serviceable and crunchy but I felt it was the exact same rolls I'd get anywhere else; take that however you like. I'd like to point out I love Dim Sum and one of the most popular Dim Sum items are soup dumplings. Having just ate Dim Sum I was anxious to eat it again. I got the dumplings and it was a real let down. The flavors were off as the pork had no flavor, I couldn't tell if there was any ginger and no white pepper. Next there was almost no soup in the pastry. To those who don't know soup dumplings actually have a small amount of soup in them and this version had very little. I didn't care for them. For the main course my girlfriend got the stir-fry noodles and I'm here to tell you WOW! The flavors reminded me of Beef Chow Fun; smoky, perfectly cooked beef toothsome noodles with some veggies, although I wish they had been sprouts in it. If there's one dish to get here, this is it. I got the Shoyu Shrimp Ramen and it didn't exactly hit all notes. The broth was extremely bland, lacking depth as it should have 3 layers; soup, tare and fats while this just tasted like broth even though they claimed soy was infused. That said the house made noodles were perfectly cooked and carried the dish. After having the beef in the stir fry, I wish I would have ordered that protein instead of shrimp as it didn't pop right. However, that's my fault ordering shrimp in a beef broth dish. Overall, I found the experience subpar, a run of the mill ramen experience. While I was eating, I found my time lackluster and after having time to "digest" my experience weeks later, I stand by my claim it wasn't great. The highlights are definitely the home-made noodles, the beef and the stirfry. Stop by if you have a hankering and area a Ramen novice. read more

I've ordered from here multiple times on DoorDash before pulling up at the actual location. DoorDash had my meal choices coming hot and fresh every time. I've ordered the Hot Pot ramen noodles with gluten free noodles on 2 separate occasions and it has been consistently decent. But y'all the veggie stir-fry noodles whether paired with the gluten free or ramen noodles are hands down the best meal on the menu . I will say that the ramen noodles seem to hold the flavors more but overall both options are flavorful enough for all bodies but not overseasoned. The service was good, everyone in there was doing something whether that was stocking or cleaning. The ambiance...honestly there's not much to the place though. It could be invested in a bit more but it's cool as a TOGO spot. I will definitely keep investing in this establishment. I enjoy my meal every time. read more

My friends and I were starving after our basketball game, and Noodle Alley was the perfect spot! It was super close, which was a major win. We started with the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, and it was crispy and seasoned perfectly - a great way to kick things off. For our mains, we tried both the chicken and the beef dan dan noodles. Both were really good, and the free pickled veggies were a nice touch! Solid noodle spot, and we'll definitely be back after our next game. PS The service was also quick and excellent. read more

Kind of disappointed. It's been 4 years since I've been here. The last visit was ok I guess. Today I walked in and it reaked of sewage. Yes, sewage. I quickly ordered and waited only to hear "ding!!" A microwave oven going off. Did they just microwave my food? The noodles were alright. Kinda salty. But I could not get past the sewage smell. Every bit I took was accompanied by water to help with the saltiness. Did I mention the whole place smells like sewage? read more

Being born and raised in SGV in LA, my standards for noodle soups are pretty high. This place is decent. It's definitely not to the level of SGV noodles, but I have yet to find a better place to satisfy my noodles cravings within the area. I noticed they had converted the restaurant to be partially a poke bar, which kind of seemed like an odd choice to me. Thematically, it didn't really fit the vibe inside the restaurant and felt a bit out of place. When I ate here recently, I actually stopped in my tracks after I walked through the doors because I thought I went into the wrong restaurant. Where they previously had the noodle menu on the digital screen and the cashier, it's now a poke station which had thrown me off. They did add some new items to the "noodle" side of the restaurant which I was excited about. We usually ordered the Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings which I enjoy but this time we got their Steam Buns. It comes in 2 and you can choose two different fillings as well. I tried the juicy pork and the spicy brisket ones. Both were yummy! As for the noodle soups, my go to is the Hot Pot Beef Noodle Soup. It is spicy which I enjoy. I only wish it came with more toppings. I think another favorite here is the Red Braised Beef Noodle Soup. I stopped ordering this mainly because I don't like how it comes with bone in short ribs. I'm used to this soup being boneless. The flavor isn't bad though for anyone who doesn't mind the bone. The latest change here which I was absolutely thrilled about is that you can now get free refill noodles if you dine in and order noodle soup. Each order does come with a decent helping of noodles but noodle is life for me so of course I would never say no to free extra noodles. If you opt in for the extra noodles, I would highly recommend portioning your soup and toppings out appropriately so that you have enough for the additional noodles. I was stuffed and packaged up the steam buns for to-go. So well worth it in my opinion. read more

Our first time at Noodle Alley went well. The food is tasty and well portioned. We had dumplings that were precisely and freshly made. Add the stir fry and shoyu ramen entrees and it was a complete meal for a good price and with lots of flavor. There are no fountain drinks here, but they have both Coke and Pepsi plastic bottles for sale and a very good options for milk tea and fruit tea. The staff were helpful and friendly, which is important for a first visit. The seating section is small, but ordering instructions are clear. The decor was a little old and everything can use a good wipe down and brightening, but I'm still going to return next time we are in the mood for noodle. I'd recommend this spot read more

Food is good but you're greeted by the strong smell sewer water as soon as you walk in. Last time I went a few months ago I thought something was broken but went again today and immediately walked back out--it still smells! If a restaurant can't keep their space clean, how can I trust their food prep? I can't and won't be going back again. Shame, as I used to go often. read more

Another tip-of-the-hat to Yelper reviews as their 4 and 5-star reviews led us to Noodle Alley for some spicey hot soup/ramen on a cold TX evening. Their noodles are the stars here as they are soft and thin and absorb the broth quickly. We started with spring rolls, fried perfectly and accompanied by a sweet but slightly spicy sauce. Oh, after you order at the counter turn around and take advantage of their gratis spicy pickled cucumbers. Icy cold, a tad spicy, and crunchy perfect! I opted for their Shoyu Ramen noodle bowl. I was expecting a spicier dish but I was able to bring up the heat. The broth is a soy sauce beef-based broth that is chock full of thinly sliced tender beef, fresh veggies, and a marinated egg. There is an ample amount of noodles that just got better and better in the broth. There are other protein options. Plus one ordered the braised beef short ribs soup. Like my dish, their soy-based broth is a perfect accompaniment for the ribs and noodles. The meat was beyond tender and like my entree, there was a healthy amount of noodles. Be aware their portions are huge and we have enough leftovers for a hearty lunch. I can't wait for our next visit as their dumplings look amazing! So now we have two righteous noodle restaurants in the CP with King Noodle being right across Bell Blvd from Noodle Alley. read more

Ok, full disclosure, this is a third party review of this restaurant as I only purchased and delivered the food. Had some local out of town friends visit and their child ran a fever when we were planning to meet for dinner. So we decided to bring them dinner so they could cars for this kid. They enjoyed everything they ordered. Sorry no photos, as it was kind of a "Hi, Here, Enjoy" type of a visit in the lobby of their hotel. When we saw them the next day, they mentioned with great enthusiasm, how wonderful the food was. Everything!!! Now I've got to try it out for myself. Michael C. - Georgetown read more

Great food and amazing service! The place was spotless. I highly reccomend if you want pasta you com here !

I went to this restaurant on a whim to try their pho. I was able to get seated for a party of 4 pretty quickly around dinner time. I would describe the ambiance as fast casual. They have some indoor and outdoor dining spots, but takeout seems to be a popular option as well. In terms of food, we were quite impressed with everything we tried. The chili wontons were a good size portion and were very tasty. The braised beef noodles were a large portion and featured tender portions of beef. definitely recommend if you're looking for a hearty and quick meal with authentic flavors. read more

The food here does not miss. Absolutely loved the minced pork noodle bowl and soup dumplings. The service was quick and super kind, and consistently ensured we were content/didn't need anything else! Large portions and very fresh tasting. 4/5 because I got the Matcha boba, and it was not great. It tasted bitter and the actual boba tasted a bit off. It was also fairly cold in the building. Otherwise wonderful! read more

Went here for a family dinner. Easy to order with the QR code but the server was very nice and came out and gave us a carafe of water. Quiet for a Friday night, but the food was great and came out very fast. Homemade noodles and dumplings, the star of the show for us was the soup dumplings! Best dumpling texture to flavor that we have found in Cedar Park for sure. My son got the fried rice which was a generous portion and kept him busy (they have premade kids chopsticks) and my wife got the Dan Dan noodles, which while very tasty, definitely didn't have that good mouth numbing sichuan pepper that we love, tasted more like a garlic noodle, still very good! Will definitely be back to try their ramen and some other noodle dishes and get more soup dumplings. read more

Came here on a whim and I'm glad I did. There was plenty of seating (inside and out), lots of parking, staff was nice, and the wait for food wasn't bad at all. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table along with a jug of water. They have plenty of condiments and pickled cucumbers you can help yourself to in the back. We started off with the soup dumplings. There was hardly any soup inside, but the pork flavor was prominent and the seasoning was good. It paired perfectly with the black vinegar. We ordered two different noodle soups and they were plentiful in noodles! The hotpot beef noodle soup had delicious flavor with a kick, but my favorite was the tom yum noodle soup. The tom yum broth was thick and not too salty with plenty of shrimp. I know where I'll be going when the tom yum noodle craving hits again! read more

This place is such a rock star, for my money the best noodles in Cedar Park. I almost always get the braised beef, but today was the Shoyu Ramen and the especially wonderful Tom Yum. The latter will probably be my new regular order, it's so outstanding. I think my only disappointment were the soup dumplings. Having never had them in my life, I finally decided today was the day to pull the trigger, and I was very underwhelmed. Videos and pictures I have seen of them show them to be full of soup, these had perhaps five or six drops of liquid in them. It was just some meat and stuff. I mean I guess if they aren't soup dumplings, they are just dumplings? Just not what was advertised I suppose. (I would still very much like to try some actual soup dumplings somewhere.) read more

The spicy beef noodles were spicy and it packed a small punch. The noodles had a slight al dente chew and it went really well with the broth.

Chile, you better run back to your car. This place looks decent but the food is far from. The stir fry beef noodles were wack, the beef was tasteless and the texture was off too rubbery for my liking. The pork wontons was the best thing I ordered. Don't get it twisted definitely won't knock your socks off but at least they had flavor. Nothing tasted authentic is my real issue. And I was shocked at the raving reviews of this place.

This place is just a solid restaurant. They have a smaller menu but I assume everything on it would be good. They also have spicy pickled cucumbers as a banchan option for no additional cost. The restaurant itself is cute and has nice outdoor seating too. I got the spicy minced pork noodle entree and it was great. It was about a 2 or 3 out of 10 for spice level, but they do have chili oil for you to increase the spice level yourself. The veggies in it are really fresh and crisp, which is great when so many places nowadays have bland veggies. One of the best parts of this meal was the popcorn chicken! It's exactly what you want from Vietnamese popcorn chicken and it was $6.50 for a huge pile of meat. I'd gladly come back when I'm in the area. read more
