They have very consistent food, and it's all good. I don't normally like noisy restaurants, but considering the employees, the food, and the prices -- you cannot go wrong. read more

The fried rice I ordered wasn't " authentic " and contained white spots of rice versus being completely darker, the vegetables and meats weren't grown on the rice versus mixed in overall Noodle Bar is okay but not to die for. Restaurants in metropolitan area(s) like Los Angeles and San Francisco do offer better options that make Noodle Bar look mediocre in terms of Quality, Order Accuracy and Customization. read more

Walked in with no expectations. Food was piping hot and delicious. Quick unpretentious hearty food. Will def be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Spring rolls with grilled shrimp......yum yum. Pho is wonderful...fried rice is fabulous. The service was pretty good and they only accept cash, but hey... I am having fantasies about those spring rolls.. read more

Thought I had been to every noodle bar in the area...This place is awesome...After my won-ton soup loaded with vegetables my bill was $5.95...I asked the waitress if it was a mistake?...$8.95?...No...Words don't say enough...Give it a try...GG read more

I love the 5 Spice Chicken with rice or noodle. I also like there combination Egg Rolls. You can't beat the freshness and price. We get there at 5:15 before the dinner rush and watch it fill up ten minutes later as we are eating our food. read more

Very good pho and the broth is not just water with seasoning its actual broth it's probably one of the tastiest pho dishes u have ever had and I have had a lot my 4 stars to most people are 5 would def come back here again read more

I absolutely love the chow fun with their fresh jalapeños put in it. YUM! I can call in my order at lunch and it will be ready to go on ten minutes. Good size portion, too. read more

WON'T GO BACK AGAIN. We went there for the first time. Saw it was busy. Gave our name and asked to see a menu to decide. Honestly, we weren't the easiest customers because we weren't sure we wanted to go in. The hostess did nothing to persuade us and got snotty when I asked for a few more minutes to decide. At the table, I asked for a side of wanton soup and was told I couldn't have that. Had to order a full dinner to get it. For the ten seconds I considered that, the waitress glared at me and copped an attitude for the rest of our meal. Food was okay. WON'T GO BACK AGAIN. read more

This place is awesome my coworker told me about this restaurant and I'm a local this is a kinda of local hangout I love the #13 if you want to take someone for the first date the food is wonderful and it certainly won't make you wonder where the money went its nothing but five stars for me. read more

This place is the shit, try the fried bananas and Thai yea Boba smoothie! And the 5 spice chicken dry noodle bowl but don't blame me for your addiction to this place read more

This is one of my favorite places to get Pho! It's always fast, delicious, and there are big portions. I've also gotten takeout here and it's well packaged and gets home hot. The last time I went it was really packed so we had to wait a bit for our order, but they have seating for that so it all worked out. I always get the chicken pho and my husband gets the brisket pho. He also likes the cold noodles and BBQ pork. read more

I've always herad talk of how good the food was. But never made it over. When I had the flu last month my roommate brought me some chicken pho. It was perfect! I finally went back today. I tried the won ton soup this time. Amazing!! Best ever! The shrimp and pork spring rolls are delicious as well. Can't wait to go back and try another dish. read more

It would have been nice to even get a seat...put my name in told it's a 40 minute wait. Gave my name. Watched her write my name. Sat in the cold outside waiting for almost 60 minutes amongst the others waiting for a seat, until I saw three people that came in AFTER me get seated. When I went in and asked I got the DUMBEST look of STUPIDITY from the very hostess that wrote my name down, then she stated she did not write my name down. I could see my name on the pad she was holding and everyone BUT me crossed off and her STILL state she did not write my name down. When I asked did you think that I was sitting out in the cold in front of your restaurant for fun?! She responded with a look on her face of shear disregard for any customer service. Then gave a raised eyebrow and asked "I'm sorry?" Extremely disappointing. I truly hope this girl finds a different profession that does not involve anything having to do with customer service nor anything that requires being able to read a list in order... read more

The food here was incredible. We gobbled everything up. From start to finish, this place is great. They seated our party of 6 within 10 minutes. The food came out hot and quick, we had a number of dishes and they got the food asap. All of their dishes were so tasty and flavorful. I would strongly suggest this place if your are in town. read more

Best Pho in the Monterey Area!!!! Clean resturant and Great Service! Springs rolls are very fresh, and the Pho was really tasty! read more

Up visiting Marina from LA and it was cold out! Stopped into the noodle bar around 6pm with our kids (7 and 2). Workers were very pleasant and polite and the food was very good. We got two large noodle bowls, which was big enough to share with the kiddos. Being from LA, our noodle taste is set at a high bar. This place, to our surprise, was pretty decent! I'd go back! read more

The food is cheap, which is a good deal if you're starving and looking for something fast. The quality...meh, you get what you pay for. The meat we ordered was burnt and our veggies for the pho were old and discolored. If those things don't bother your taste buds then this is the spot. Chopsticks is not only better it's fresher. read more

The food is always good here. I usually get the BBQ chicken. I usually come and sit down and the service is always friendly. But I telephoned in and the customer service was very bad. I didn't get to even order everything I wanted to before the guy hung up on me. And when I called back to add something to my order the service wasn't very different. I love noodle bar food but the service has gotten bad. I might have to try the Fremont blvd one. read more

This place bad Vietnamese (if you even want to call it that) food. I don't understand why it's usually always busy. I went during dinner with a group of six our waitress was far from enthusiastic. My thai tea order was screwed up, how can u mess up a drink order. I ordered "Thai tea light milk with boba" what I got was light orange milk with a hint of Thai tea and NO boba. I also ordered chow fun and what I got was literally top ramen noodles with a medley of veggies splashed in salt...my "traditional" pho number 5 I think had half of a meatball, jerky hard overlooked steak pieces and oily broth. The only think good was the tendons. The. Spring rolls was a disaster!!!! When I bit into it it all fell apart the vermicelli noodles were drenched in the sauce...the peanut dipping sauce looked like peanut butter blended in a cup of water and yes tasted like it too. This place sucks!!! It's like a previous reviewer described as "white washed" Americanized pho. End of story. read more

why people like their boba so much? all taste artificial powder mix very un natural color i dont think that is good for my body. read more

Amazing food at an amazing price. Great quick service. Best place for lunch. I'm always surprised how low my bill is after I enjoy a great plate of lunch. read more

I ordered the shrimp egg rolls and the rare beef pho. Sadly disappointed at this place. I have been looking for a decent pho place near Salinas and found this on yelp. The shrimp egg rolls were super oily and burnt. The pho was just okay. Probably won't be back here again. The place is crowded by locals and many appeared satisfied by the food. I grew-up in the South Bay and the Asian food there just doesn't compare to the ones in the Monterey area. read more

Marina totally needed a place like this . Very fresh and absolutely affordable! I notice a lot of College kids eat here . Totally recommend this place ! read more

I guess people give this place stars because of how cheap the meals are...? Anyways the food is repulsive and tasted so old I was afraid to eat it..yuck. read more

Love the restaurant, food, and price. Only complain is I have tried on 3 separate occasions to call to place and order and no one answered. Out of principle I didn't call their competitor chopstixs the first 2 times but this time I did. Shape up before chopstixs runs you out of business read more

Whenever we are in town, this is a must! There is always a wait, but worth it. Would give them five stars if there wasn't the wait, but that has never prevented us from dining here. Just plan accordingly. read more

Ok, after going back to this place 2, 3, 4, 5 times. I am now a HUGE fan. For the price you can't go wrong and I just adore the Chicken Chow Fun. The dishes always come out hot and plentiful. Everyone I have gone with adores this place too. Seating is limited, but the folks are always plesant and nice. Can't go wrong with BoBa Smoothies either! Though not being able to pay with CC is a bit of a drag. So just remember to bring your moolah! read more

The food here seems great and all but, sometimes the takeout I get seems really wet. Like it was just shoved altogether in a bag as quickly as possible as if someone was trying to just make me leave the restaurant. One of the managers seemed like he was very awry and kept getting into an argument with a girl who seriously looked like she was trying her best but seriously looked like she needed a break! read more

Decided to grab a quick dinner...and I would have to say the food was decent. The seafood Pho tasted fairly authentic. The only downfall was all the young servers....they were not responsive, and rude. I had to ask for things....the only time they came to our table was when our food was gone....wouldn't eat there again... read more

I got hungry on the drive down to Monterey, so I decided to get off the freeway in the city of Marina and look for a quick lunch. I ended up at the Noodle Bar on Reservation Road, a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese place that seemed like a good bet for a fast lunch. Vietnamese restaurants are usually quite efficient, so I figured that I wouldn't have to wait too long for my order to be fulfilled. Once i had sat down and looked over the menu, a waiter promptly took my order, which consisted of a "Spring Roll" (the non-fried variety that most Vietnamese restaurants call a "Fresh Roll"), the Chili and Lemongrass Chicken with Steamed Rice, and a Pina Colada Smoothie (without the boba). As I had hoped, my food began to land on my table within a few minutes of me placing my order. Unfortunately, the food itself left something to be desired. This was especially true of the Fresh Roll, which came out first. This roll was stuffed mainly with rice noodles, bean sprouts, and lettuce, so it was fairly bland; it did not include any basil or mint leaves, which are often added to Fresh Rolls to provide a punch of flavor. The roll did contain tiny bits of dried-out pork and a couple of very thin slices of boiled shrimp, but their amounts were so meager that neither of them contributed much to the roll's overall flavor. As for the chili and ground peanut dipping sauce that they served on the side, it was so watered down that it hardly had any flavor of its own. I don't know if their Fresh Rolls are always this poorly executed, but I do know that this one was definitely skippable. The Chili and Lemongrass Chicken with Steamed Rice came out next. The appearance of this dish was a bit sloppy, as both the stir-fried chicken and the rice seemed to have been slung onto the plate in a hurry. However, the flavor of the chicken was perfect, with minced ginger, chili, and lemongrass giving it a very authentic taste. Unfortunately, the chicken was also slightly overcooked, making it a bit chewy. The dish was still fairly good, as there was enough sauce in the chicken to keep it moist, but the texture could have been better. The Pina Colada Smoothie came out with the chicken and was delicious, but it is something that is hard to mess up. I do appreciate how hard it is to keep a family-run restaurant like this going, and it's the type of establishment that I am loathe to give a low rating to. However, on the basis of the food that the restaurant delivered on this visit, I would reluctantly have to give it a rating of 2/5 stars. Perhaps they were having a bad day, read more

I'm not sure why I gave this place another chance. It's always so hit and miss. I have had multiple bad experiences here and I keep hoping they will improve bcuz I really want to like them. Alas, they suck. Today, it took an hour to get our food. The excuse? They were overrun by to-go orders. This place has gotten too busy and now its just dirty, with poor service. And I found a piece of plastic wrap in my food today. At least it wasn't hair, like last time. No more noodle bar. I've had enough. read more

Recently went last week even of how busy they tend to be food is ALWAYS finger licking good!! My favorite plate is the chicken chow mein with a mocha boba xtra boba I love how they put chocolate syrup in aroundthe cup not even chopstix do that for me.. but I give this place 5+ more! read more

Always a favorite. Super busy but if you call ahead for takeout it is always ready. Has yet to disappoint! Fair prices for hot, fast, generous portions. read more

It was my first time here and I was satisfied! I tried the chow fun plate and it was delicious! The chicken was well flavored but the fried rice not so much. The service was great! Super friendly. The place was clean and the environment was super chill. Good portion sizes and it was cheap! I would recommend and would go again. read more

OMG! So I had eaten here once before. It seemed ok. MAYBE NOT! This was my second time here, ordered the same thing as before. I made it to the Wal Mart parking lot... and lost it! NEVER AGAIN. Also made my newborn son (who was breastfeeding) ill. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! My daughter chipped her tooth because there were foreign objects in our order of eggrolls. I looked through the rest of them and fond more. I spoke to Dennis the "manager" but he was very nonchalant about the situation and told me to have my dentist call him. He still had me pay the bill and even suggested that I take the rest of our contaminated food to go. The customer service was horrible and the place not clean. I am visiting from Houston and expected a lot more from this town. I will have my attorney contact them when I get back home. Very disappointing, if he would have made a better gesture to make the situation not as horrific, like not charging me the $60 bill and apologized to us I would not even be worried about resorting to legal action. Her dental bill is going to be much higher than the food bill and she is a child so she is going to miss school so I can take her to the dentist. I still have the chunks of black plastic that was in our food. read more

I used to love going to this place but I no longer come here. The chicken was way better before. It seems like now they use lower quality meat. Now there are nasty pieces of fat in the chicken. read more

The food was excellent! No complaints what so ever about it! But I had to drop 2 stars for service...Having managed a few restaurants and currently a cook I was disappointed. About 4 different staff members served us and half of our food came out before the other half without silverware and the floor was filthy. If four different staff members have time to serve me maybe one could break off and sweep? Also the To-Go stuff was brought to us with no napkins or utensils...it seemed that busser had more pep in her step and was more attentive than the server (sick jurassic park shirt btw you the real mvp)...I would have understood if it was slammed but the kitchen is open and I could see the servers standing around...as a manager I always say if you have time to lean you have time to clean or prep to go bags with napkins and utensils...anyway I'd definitely recommend the food and will be back! Maybe today was a fluke Wednesday read more

I used to really like their Boba but the last couple times I've gone here, my boba drink was very tasteless. I ordered orange cream boba with extra orange flavor. They charged me an extra dollar for the extra flavor. When I went to taste it, I couldn't taste any orange flavor at all. And keep in mind, I did remind them to put extra orange flavor in TWO times, because Last time I ordered this, it didn't have any flavor. Last time I didn't complain or say anything. But this time I decided I would ask for more flavor. So I went up to the register and said "is there any way I could please get extra orange flavor because I can't taste it at all". She grabbed my drink from me, didn't say anything, dumped it back into the blender and I don't know what happened after that but she handed it back to me with a scowl and said nothing. I said "thank you". Still said nothing. Whatever. So I left and I took a sip of it and it STILL tasted like nothing. Simple solution: won't be going back!!!! And I am a very regular customer. I had been going 5 days out of the week since I work in this shopping plaza. Not any more. I will he taking my business elsewhere. read more
