Great quality for the money, quick service too. The food was very fresh and they have a good selection. I had the veggie stir fry with chicken. You can ask for varying levels of spice as well. I would definitely come here often if I was local for a quick, inexpensive, and good lunch. read more

Noodle Box - Garden stir fry bowl - Noodles Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I ordered from them on Grubhub in March. They are on the east side of King Street and I am on Franconia about a mile west of Telegraph. The meal got to my house in about 45 minutes. I got gyoza ($4.95), the drunken noodle box with beef ($14.50), jasmine rice ($2.00), a cup of tiramisu ($5.00), and a 20-oz. ginger ale ($2.50). The tiramisu was typical with the consistency of cheesecake and a chocolate/coffee flaver. Good stuff. The sauce for the drunken noodles had soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, sriracha, minced garlic, and Thai basil. The noodles had canola or peanut oil, minced garlic, eggs, serrano chiles, shrimp, white onions, rice noodles, Thai basil, and grape tomatoes (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/my-famous-drunken-noodles-3827989). The drunken noodles were excellent, but they have to be hot to get the full flavor. The gyoza is basically Chinese dumplings with meat and vegetables in a dough crust (pork, cabbage, chives, garlic or ginger, sake, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper, https://www.justonecookbook.com/gyoza/). They can be steamed or fried. The ones I had were fried. The ingredients were fresh and the meal was very well prepared. The delivery fee was $4.99, the sales tax was $3.18, the service fee was $1.52, and the tip for the driver was $7.73. I do not mind paying a tip to the driver, but I should not have to pay delivery and service fees to Grubhub. The expense of delivery is borne by the driver and not by Grubhub. This is on top of the 30% fee Grubhub charges to the restaurant. I also object to the 11% Alexandria sales tax on restaurant meals. This was extremely controversial when Alexandria enacted it a few years ago. There is no way this tax is not causing Alexandria restaurants to lose business. The sales tax in Fairfax County is only 5%. This is on top of Grubhub fees and driver tips. The problem with Grubhub orders in Alexandria is that four parties are trying to make money from the transaction: the restaurant, Grubhub via fees to the diner and the restaurant, Alexandria via the sales tax, and the driver via the tip. What happens with so many parties trying to make money from the same transaction is that the price to the consumer is very expensive, and yet none of the parties is making very much money--except for Grubhub. I have always said the more parties you add to a transaction, the more problems you are going to have. Many times all of the fees can add 50% to 100% to the cost of the meal. I only order from Grubhub half as often as I would like to because of all the fees. I cannot be the only one who is deterred from ordering. My issues are with Grubhub and not the restaurant. Keep up the good work. read more

Excellent Thai restaurant! The food was delicious, service was fast, and the portions were large. I highly recommend the spring rolls and broccoli lovers dish! The restaurant also offered a deal for free Thai iced tea with your meal which was very good! read more

Came here for a quick lunch wasn't to bad. The tea is really good and everyone enjoyed there food.

Very good. Participating with Uber Eats right now I presume because they are just new. The quality of the Red Curry and Kee Mao easily exceeds literally every Thai place across Doordash, Grubhub, and Uber Eats. I've tried them all smh. I like that they have a smaller menu - that way they do everything well. I'd rather have a limited menu of top tier items rather than a huge menu of average. Good find for sure and fresh ingredients, not as greasy as other Thai. read more

I've eaten here twice so far, and it's becoming a go-to spot for take-out and delivery. The dishes are pretty decent, and I give the place high ratings for originality. They have the standards like Pad Thai and Pad See Ew, but they also have dishes that are less common like Kung Pao noodles. I've had the Kung Pao noodles, Yakisboa, and Pad Cha. All yummy! I also really enjoyed the chive dumplings. I was hesitant to order them at first because they don't have any meat or filling -- they're just made of batter and chives. But they're really unique and very tasty! read more

We came on a Friday night and there was no wait to order at the counter. I got the drunken noodles with chicken ($8.95) subbing the wide rice noodles for clear glass noodles and it was delicious! It came out piping hot and there was a good amount of veggies in it. It was also pretty spicy which is typical for drunken noodles. My husband got the pad see yew with chicken ($8.95) and that was also so good! The flavors here are spot on. This place is great for a quick meal! read more

Noodle Box - Top: Chicken pad see yew ($8.95) and Bottom: drunken noodles with glass noodles - Noodles Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

DH and I decided to try this little noodle cafe one night and we were pleasantly surprised with great service and very tasty food. I don't eat meat or dairy, so they were happy to answer any questions I had about what was in the food. The owner/manager was very welcoming, answered questions, and asked us how everything was during our time there. I ordered the green curry with tofu and brown rice, and hubby ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp. He asked for extra spicy and they definitely delivered He was sweating the whole time he ate it and it was super entertaining for me. I don't know that he will ask for that next time, but he still seemed to enjoy it! They have a great selection here, and the price is great for the amount of food, so we will definitely be back to check out other dishes. read more

Order Bulgogi Rice Beef Box through Grubhub and it wasn't bulgogi. Nothing about it is bulgogi. Beef wasn't marinated and sauce was like schezuan. This basically just stir fried beef. Utterly disappointing. read more

I order from them at least once a week. Sometimes just sides and I make my own rice bowls, but most of the time it's takoyaki and boba. Very reasonably priced, always arrives early + hot and they've never messed up my order. I order from this place for my roommates + all my friends, love love love them read more

Small but busy mostly takeout Asian place. Food ordered for dining in is also served on disposable ware. I ordered 2 apps instead of a noodle bowl. I was not expecting the gyoza to be deep fried, but once I got past that shock it was good. The chive dumpling/pancake was interesting. Crispy outside, weirdly gelatinous inside. Very tasty. Add some sriracha and mmmmm. Sitting at the counter in the front window watching the world march by on a Saturday mid afternoon. I'll come back for noodles on another visit here. read more

See all

Wasn't impressed. First and last. Husband had honey shrimp. I had basil chicken. The meat was hard on both. I ended up throwing a good portion away. Flavor was good and rice was good. read more

Food is lovely, (can be spicy depending on the dish) the people are wonderful and very polite. Food comes out quick, if it's a group order, call ahead though so you don't have to wait too long especially on a work day. Overall love coming here for lunch and the Thai Ice tea is phenomenal, little sweet but I'm a fan. read more

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. I ordered through doordash and got the thai fried rice, mango and sticky rice, and a matcha green tea. The rice was a grotesque pile of mush. Looked good, but wasn't. The mango and sticky rice was more mango and a sticky rock. I had never seen anything like it. I could have threw it at a wall and probably made a dent. The mango itself was good though. The only thing I really enjoyed was the matcha green tea. (Hence, 2 stars) i won't be ordering again unless I am in the mood for the tea. I am not sure how this place has such great reviews or maybe I ordered on an off day. read more

Delicious Thai noodle dish! They give you just the right amount of heat you want. Fresh and filling. Fast too. Right in front of you.

I love places like this: Everything is made FRESH. They nail made-to-order Asian Fusion style food. Clean, healthy Food that is not over-salted or full of thickeners. Vegetables were crispy and fresh. I ordered the Matchi Bobo tea with almond milk instead of regular milk. They actually ask you how sweet you would like it. Was perfect. I also watched them hand batter their fried items...not pre-done. Great for athletes because it provides your protein, veggies, and carbs...and a "guilty pleasure" of Bobo Tea. I never leave reviews, but the people were so sweet and accommodating (loved the personal touch) that I wanted to. Always hope places like this do well. read more

Really great value and they offer a free Thai ice tea with an entree purchase. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. Simple menu, good size portions. Food came out quick and hot... both spicy and temp. Place seemed clean, I'd recommend it for a filling/quick lunch. Two adults made it out of there under $20 before tip. read more

We ordered the Broccoli Lover w/beef and Chicken Pad Thai. The interior was nice and clean with plenty of seating. The owners were very nice. However the menu did not offer a lot and seemed a little overpriced. The Broccoli Lover was just stir fry broccoli with your choice of meat and the Pad Thai was made a little too sweet for me. Really wanted to like this place but the food was just okay. Too many other options at a lower price, so I would not recommend this place to friends and family. read more

The spicy dishes I purchased were way too salty to a point where it was unbearable to eat.

Portions are perfect, spices are on point. Our go-to place in Old Town!

I finally had the opportunity to stop by here. It's good for what it is. They were fast and efficient. I ordered, and received my food within 10-15minutes. I wouldn't say it was the best pad Thai I have ever had, but it's pretty good. There's decent seating, but keep in mind that it is a small space. The bathroom was very clean, and the service was good. I will likely come back sometime in the future read more

I ordered the Lomein, Gyoza, and the Tofu and out of the three, only the Lomein was alright. It was a little on the saltier side, the gyoza was too crisp, and the tofu tasted like wet cardboard. They say it's crispy but it's just moist and bland. read more

Such a great spot when time is short and you're looking for a bite that's made to order. The staff is very friendly and the move so quickly. The place is never very packed, which is good since it's pretty small. But there's always a steady stream of food traffic in and out. Highly recommended for your staple Thai dishes. read more

Noodle box has really good food but their portions are small. I'm someone who always brings home leftovers but that doesn't happen here. Food is made to order quickly and fresh tasing. The restaurant is clean and although it is on the smaller side, there is always enough seating when I go. I really enjoy their thai iced tea but it is expensive. $5 for a regular size. Employees are friendly. read more

I enjoyed my meal from Noodle Box. Good food, but it didn't stand out as being memorable over any other Asian street food style vendor, thus the "A-OK" rating. It was on par with the usual Thai-American dishes. Fast casual, counter service, made to order. Food is served in paper cartons. The food was a great value - Entrees around $10, give or take depending on the protein choice. The exact same food with table service on flatware could easily cost 50% more. As others have reported, the chive dumplings were unique - they weren't traditional dumplings wrapped in dough. The outside was slightly crisp with a gummy, almost mochi-like center. I found the texture to be more interesting than the flavor. Overall, kind of meh for me. Yaki Soba Noodle - good flavor, not too salty, fresh ingredients - but a bit too oily. I guess that's standard for wok-fried food, but there was a noticeable layer of oil on the bottom of the bowl. No complaints about the taste - it just sat a bit heavy. All of the fried food felt too indulgent for it to be on my regular meal list. I'll certainly go back for the value if I'm in the mood for that kind of food, though. read more

One of the worst meals I've ever had. I ordered the pad see yew and the Kung pow noodles. They were inedible. Flavorless but at the same time one of the spiciest things I've ever eaten (and I like spicy). Now that I think about it, I'm wondering if this was a joke on me. I mean, were they back in the kitchen trying to figure out how spicey they can make the food before they kill someone? I have no idea how this place has stayed in business. read more

I recently visited the store for a take-out. They said It will take 15 minutes but I ended up waiting for 30 minutes. They looked so busy, so I didn't complain about that. And I waited for the food to come out. When receiving food, the staff asked me "Do you need Utensil?" But I couldn't catch what she was saying at once because of the temporarily set up acrylic walls for Covid prevention, the music from the store, and the sound from the kitchen. So i was like "sorry? what?" and then the workers started speaking in Thai and they laughed rudely in front of me. In addition to this rude behavior, the taste of the food was really the worst Thai food I've ever had. 1. Tom Yum Soup tasted very watered down. 2. Sriracha Wing was fine but be careful of the sticky sauce! The sauce sticks to all your teeth. 3. Pad Thai was just noodles. No mung bean sprouts, or veggies. There was also not a lot of sauce. 4. Massaman Curry also lacked the sauce so much that it was basically just a large bowl of rice. I will never visit that restaurant again. read more

I've been going here about once a month on average as I work in the area. The food has steadily become greasier. I got the noodles on Friday and I could only taste the oil, and none of the other flavor. I also got uneasy after eating it. I barely had half of it, and the uneasiness after-effects stayed well past dinner-time. Not sure I'm going to attempt this place again. read more

I ordered today for the first time from Door Dash. Got the Spring Rolls and Tofu Drunken Noodles. Both were delicious! The Spring Rolls were hot, crispy and light and the sauce was yummy. I asked for no onions and mild for the Drunken Noodles and they were perfect, just a hint of spice and plenty of tofu, carrots, tomatoes and red peppers. Not greasy either, almost seemed somewhat healthy. Food came super fast too in under 30 minutes. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Really good food and friendly service. After we asked whether the spring rolls were vegetarian (they are vegetarian, and delicious!), the staff behind the counter realized we wouldn't want meat with any of our dishes. All three noodle dishes were great, and they gladly substituted broccoli for meat in the kids noodle box. Food came out very quickly (even my impatient and hungry 12 year old thought so!) and it was fresh and tasty. Bubble teas were also great, if a little on the sweet side. read more

We've been going here for the past couple years and the portions have gotten smaller and the price has gone up significantly. We were also met with a price surprise at checkout, because the prices on the sign do not match what you will actually pay at checkout. Good food, but you can get equally good food elsewhere, with larger portions AND for a cheaper price. read more

GREAT FOOD. Came across this tiny joint after my group disappointingly left a nearby restaurant because of their lack of service, and boy, we are glad we did! They had a limited menu (which is good for an indecisive person like me), offering both noodle and rice dishes. They had pictures for all of their dishes so that was great! I ordered the chicken drunken noodles and thai tea - they were both delicious!!! Everyone in my group thoroughly enjoyed what they got. I tried a bit of everyone's dish and they were all good! A nice lady came by in the beginning with water and our drinks. Food came out in a decent time. The dishes conveniently are in a to-go dish, so if you can't finish what you ordered, you can simply just put a lid on top and bring it home. While the portions were filling, I think for the price, they could have offered more. I also found the meat portion lacking in the dishes we had. Overall, it was a cute little store and I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Noodle Box - Chicken Drunken Noodles - Delicious! Comes as spicy, but not too bad. A little greasy, lots of veggies, not enough meat. Thai Tea is AMAZING - Noodles Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I have not even tried the food yet. I ordered delivery about an hour ago. When I checked the status my food was picked up and the driver was identified on the other side of town. I called customer service and all they did was call the driver to tell me "he was 20 minutes away". I can't wait to try my cold food... read more

It was my first try and I ordered through the app. I asked them not to spicy but the food was to spicy to eat. Also when I got my dinner it was cold. Not sure I can hold the restaurant accountable for that it may have been the delivery. So I will give them another chance to be fair. read more

I've ordered twice from this place for our office. The first time food was ok, today it was awful. Tasted like cardboard, dry, no sauce. Will never order from them again. Everything tasted stale and old. read more

I am never ordering food at this restaurant again, I paid $7 for this portion of food. I am extremely disappointed. I then call the restaurant to ask about the portion size and the basically said this is the correct portion size. This is ridiculous and I am highly upset. On top of that the rice and mangos don't even taste good. read more

Average food. It's was fast and tasted decent. The cashier was nice. I'm a foodie and wasn't wowed by the taste of the crispy honey chicken. Too much fried skin. read more

I love the food from here. I order regularly- at least once a week. Usually fast delivery.

You may wonder about the odd exterior of Noodle Box among the pretty storefronts on King Street in Old Town. You NEED to go in! It is right by Anthropologie and H&M, across the street from Chipotle. We get dinner from them at least once a week. The food is so consistently good!!! It is freshly prepared. All dishes have character and you can ask them to tone down any spicy dish they offer. The prices are so reasonable. read more

Delicious Thai food! We ordered the spicy chicken basil and beef drunken noodles. Everything was awesome. HIGHLY recommended. We will definitely be back! read more
