Ordered Thai Noodle Beef Soup and it was an average. Good portions of meat and noodles, but the flavor was not so there. Server asked how spicy I wanted and I told her super spicy. I was sweating, but it was due to how the a/c was not up high enough for it being 80° out. Chopsticks and spoon was not handed out with my noodle soup. Servers did their best, but it just needs a little uplifting. read more

The food is good, but they lose points for less than stellar service and for the fees associated with delivery. When ordering delivery, either through their website or third party delivery services, there are anywhere from $9 - $12 just in delivery, service, and convenience fees. That's insane in a time where most restaurants offer free or nearly free delivery. Add in tax and tip, and your order jumps up $20 over what you thought you'd pay. Because of the crazy delivery fees, I've tried resorting to pick up a few times. On multiple occasions the person taking the order has gotten the order wrong and I've had to wait on them to remake it. They even made me pay more after they realized their mistake since it was technically a different item. I'm not against paying the right price, but to tell a customer that you messed up, their food won't be ready for an extra 15 minutes, then tell them they need to pay an extra $2 while they wait is a bad look. Like I said, the food is good, but it isn't always worth the hassle and fees. read more

Noodle Wave - Crazy fees - Thai Near Me - Garland, Texas

One of my favorite places to eat. They have amazing curry and noodle dishes. I highly recommend trying the Crispy Chicken Green Curry and Crab Rangoon. You are welcome in advance. Typically order for pickup but when eating in the interior is nicely decorated and the service has always been top notch. read more

Wow! I just found one the best meal deals in garland! On Thursday and Sunday only, they have a great plate of combo green curry and pad Thai, served with the soup of the day and a crispy egg roll, with a scoop of your choice of flavoured ice cream (I tried Green Tea!). It was delicious and so filling, absolutely worth the $10.95 I paid!! I've also tried their Panang Curry (L $8.95, D $11.95) which isn't as sweet as I expected but still good! My favorite curry that they serve. The Red Curry (L $8.95, D $11.95) was very smoky tasting. Very unlike other red curries I've tried. I wouldn't get it again, it was way too chalky of a consistency for my liking. The Crispy Chicken Green Curry ($11.95) is a fan favorite. The chicken is best eaten fresh, I wouldn't waste taking it home as the breading gets soggy. But the taste of the curry was good. I like the Pad Kee Mow (L $8.50, D $10.95). Not sure why they have a fire symbol by it because it wasn't spicy at all and you can choose your spice level (1 to 4). We tried 3 and it was very mild. Crispy Chicken Egg Rolls were good but not spectacular for $5.50 and you only get 4 thin ones they cut up in halves. I'll have to try the crab Rangoon next time. Overall great restaurant for Thai. Not the best seating for large parties but it's possible. Will be coming back! @crjetc read more

Noodle Wave is a Thai restaurant that offers patrons a comfortable sit-down style meal. Setting: The ambience of the restaurant gets a 5 star rating. The blue lit indoor area along with the decor were fantastic. It felt as if we were sitting in an upscale restaurant. Food: The food also gets a 5 star rating. For appetizers we ordered the chicken dumplings along with the tom yum soup. The chicken dumplings were great and unique (see pictures). The tom yum soup was awesome, but offered little shrimp in quantity. For my main entree I bought a fried noodle dish with beef (see pictures). This was a dish I had not tried previously but it was amazing. The portions for the entrees are very large and, even with a large appetite, I was unable to finish all of the food. Speaking to family who had been here previously, it seemed as if the chicken in general tastes better than the beef here. Customer Service: Excellent. Our waitress was very attentive to us and even helped pack up our extra food into boxes! Tl;dr: This is an excellent Thai restaurant with great, affordable food in large quantities. The customer service is also fantastic! read more

Food use to be great. It's going downhill. Waitstaff is nice enough but should get a proper cook.

Noodle Wave takes food presentation seriously. Every meal we ordered looked immaculate. Steamed dumplings and rangoons were beautiful and some of the best of had at a Thai place. Same for the Pad See Ew. Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles) tasted and looked great, but we very seedy for some reason. Spent most the time chewing seeds. Wonderfully modern and tasteful design when you walk in. Our server was very attentive and had our drinks full the entire meal. read more

Very rude management. We called for a party of 14 people to check if they have space and they said come over. When we got there the manager was very rude and disrespectful and unwilling to accommodate the family. I think the community has given noodle waves too much importance and with the result they are becoming rude as they know they can insult some and still have others. Time to teach them a lesson that in hospitality industry service is key. Maybe people should start taking their business somewhere else. read more

Good food and service. I love the noodle and curry dishes. Portion sizes are good and prices are reasonable .

Got yellow curry on Wednesday night. The chicken was raw and I got severely ill. I tried calling the location on Thursday no answer, called today multiple times they told me to call after 5pm for the manager. They did not refund me. They gave me a credit for just the yellow curry when I got severely ill and kept asking for a refund since I wouldn't be returning. I knew this location was bad but not this bad. Pictures of the raw chicken attached. I ate about half for lunch and dinner was when I noticed it was raw and immediately got sick. Do not eat at this location. read more

The service: seating Saturday night at 7:45pm we arrived with party of 6. They told us it would be 30 minute wait. They had table open but it was for 8 people... they said they cant let us sit there. 30 Minutes later... still no table available except of course the table they had open for potential party of 8 people to show up. The host tried to seat us on table of 4 with 6 chairs (not possible for adults). So then I asked again if we can please have the table for 8. Then they said okay fine take the table that seats 8. Lesson of probability and common sense: there is bigger chance for party of 4 to show up than party of 8. So it makes more sense to give the bigger table to bigger party even if its not 8 people because giving a 4 seater table you are making your customer unhappy. Also party of 6 tip is added to bill automatically. The food: sugar and lots of it We ordered: spice level 4 on all Green curry tofu... it was below average Roti curry... i dont recommend this Pad thai... its good for dessert super sweet Almond sricha chicken (this was good) Soup kha and tom yum (both decent) Salad (portion smaller than expected but very fresh) Basil chicken fry (good) All their sauces are pre-made and they are super sweet! No changes can be made. The pad thai is sweeter than pumpkin pie! I had to send it back and of course they gave me a really hard time with that but they did eventually just take it off the bill which was nice of them since they took it away. The place: small but cute! read more

Outstanding food and fair prices. Haven't had a bad dish and love the 1-5 spice leveling to get it just right for me.

This is my fiancé's and I's Togo spit for Thai. I live in Dallas and the Noodle wave on spring Valley is closer to me but the Garland location is my favorite. The food is very yummy and we have tried so many Thai restaurants and still prefer Noodle Wave. The Thai noodle soup is one of our favorite. My fiancé gets with chicken and I get vegetable. I've had many dIfferent plates and they've all been delicious. For appetizers we alternate between the vegetable spring rolls or the summer rolls. Both very good! The only desert we've had here is the mango sticky rice since we are always stuffed afterwards but that is good too! Staff have been nice and check in us regularly. No complaints so far! Love it! read more

Crab Rangoon, vegetable puffs, soup spiced to right level I brought home to finish following day and packed with flavor intensity. Singapore noodle with beef includes eggs- delish. Tea unfolds flavor smashing also! read more

So I'll first say that I was expecting Cantonese pan fried noodles. That was my mistake. I was expecting thin egg noodles and it was thick egg noodles. It came with a sweet gravy sauce. I was expecting salty. Those two items are my mistake and that shouldn't be blamed on Thai Noodle Wave. The part that I am particularly unhappy about is the beef was particularly overcooked. If you cooked it for an hour longer, it wouldn't have gotten any harder. A second issue is the sauce was just liquid. No thickening agent was used so the sauce didnt stick to the noodles. The food was ready when they said it was. That's a plus. The place was super busy. Maybe the other food is good, but mine was not; some of it on me, other stuff on the restaurant. read more

Overall I truly enjoy this restaurant, and the food is the ONLY reason I continue coming back. Food is 5/5 stars no doubt... but the service and ADA negligence of the staff is absolutely uncalled for. ADA compliance is lacking when it comes to service provided. This has happened on 4 occurrences now and it is with the same little girl afraid of dogs every time. I am legally disabled, and handicapped due to my connective tissue disease, and heart condition. I take a service dog everywhere I go. I am not allowed to be unaccompanied without my service dog, due to my heart condition I can faint at the drop of a hat. My dog gets me to safety before I get to that point. If you are afraid of dogs. Simply remove yourself from the situation instead of arguing with a paying customer. Multiple times I have been argued with by this little girl that "pets aren't allowed in the restaurant." When a dog walks into an establishment and they are wearing a vest that reads "service dog." It is immediately illegal for her to have opened her mouth the way she did, and attempt to deny us service due to the Americans with Disabilities Act. If our waiter did not step in when he did, my business would have been lost, as well as my entire company's business. We order from here multiple times a week, and I truly do not appreciate the discrimination I faced as a woman with a disability in this establishment. I would have left with my coworkers and never looked back, but definitely would have reported to the ADA and the better business bureau. Please teach your staff that they need to educate themselves before they harm your business. I appreciate the gentleman who stepped in when he did, and took us to our table. He was immensely kind, and helpful. Even got my Service Dog Kiana a cup of ice water. Overall I truly enjoy the food. It is always a wonderful experience, and always so fresh and tasty. No complaints. Please fix the negligence of your staff at this establishment. Ableism is not flattering, and it makes your business look bad when I come in with other people. Sincerely, A woman with invisible disabilities read more

One of my favorite restaurants. Service is definitely lacking though, slow and unprofessional, and after having half the menu it begins to all feel like the same food. It's pretty crowded and small on weekends but still a cool interior. read more

Tried pad thai, green curry and couple other items. I liked green curry and it was good.

Reading some of the other reviews, I am really surprised. We are regulars at this location (to go and dine in) and I've always been greeted and treated nicely. If the manager sees me with my son, she comes by to give him a hug and makes sure he gets his complimentary ice cream (it comes with the kids meals). When this location first opened, service was slow but that has also improved with time. Food is consistent with their other locations (I have been to all of them) and out of town guests request to go here. The only minus is sometimes the spice level is higher than requested so I play it safe and ask for level 2. All in all, would recommend. read more

Used to be great but I think I'm done. Guy asked our phone number on pickup and handed us the wrong order which we didn't figure out until we got home. I called, and they said they'd remake my order. Drove 25 minutes to get it again. Guy comes in with no mask and management does nothing so I have to go outside. Finally bring me my order and apologize. I get home... they gave me the wrong food AGAIN!!!!!! I call, and the lady tells me to hold on...I can hear her talking to someone: "he got wrong food...he so mad"... and then a chuckle. Offered me free item if I come back. Don't think I'm coming back to a place that stole 90 minutes from me tonight and then laughed at me when I was annoyed with their screw up. read more

Been going to Richardson location for past 10 years and Frisco one since it opened, so I decided to try this new location during lunch. I ordered the usual Thai coffee, chicken egg rolls, and almond Siracha chicken. Everything was delicious as usual and service was was super fast and friendly. It was less crowded than the Richardson one with maybe 2/3 full during lunch time. I would def come back again! read more

Worst pad Thai I've ever eaten. How can you mess up pad Thai. Waste of money and I hope this places declares bankruptcy

The restaurant was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and polite. The manager, Bonny, helped us out with understanding what was on the menu. The Thai Spicy Basil was fantastic. We had the fried ice cream for dessert. A Great Evening out! Bonny was very friendly and always smiling. Will definitely return soon! read more

2nd visit was a disaster. Went for a 2:30 lunch and the waiter noticeably didn't want me to eat. He was cleaning the dining area and said they were getting ready to close. I ordered spring rolls and spicy beef, both brought to the table at the same time. No condiments, no water refill but he brought the check 3 minutes after he dropped my food and stopped me from eating saying he had to close the register and I had to pay right now. Never checked back to see if the meal was ok or if I wanted anything else. The whole time I was eating, the phone rang off the wall. 2 people came in to place orders, asking why they didn't answer the phone. My waiter told them the owner told them not to take to go orders because there are only 2 people waiting tables today. Well I was the only person in the restaurant, while you let the phone ring off the wall. I'm not sure that's what your owner meant. I wont be eating here again. Inexcusable service and average food. Hard pass. read more

We waited 10 minutes before any acknowledged we were there and then the lady was rude. She said they were only taking orders to go. As we sat and waited for our to go order, the next 3 groups of people that walked in were sat at a tables with no mention of to go orders only! This was my first time here and it will be my last!

I have been customer in this restaurant since I moved to Texas. The food is really good and waitresses are so nice. I really like Bon, Skyler. They are my favorite waitresses. However, I had an issue with one lady here like a month ago. I assume she is a manger. Her name is Gina, I believe. I was waiting for food and she came to my table and rudely took my silverware. I was surprised. She said she thought I just ordered dessert. Even though she could think that, she should have asked before taking my silverware away. When my food was ready, she brought it to my table and RUDELY put it down and left. She didn't even bother just FAKING A SMILE or nicely put it down. Am I a DOG to her so she can just put the food like that? I have dogs and I even feed them nicer than she did. I paid for my food and I was nice to everyone in the restaurant. I deserve something better than horrible customer service from her. I will still come back but definitely don't want her to serve me. She is just rude and I don't understand why she has a job here. I would love to give 4 or 5 stars if that RUDE and ALWAYS-LOOKING- EVIL manager didn't work here! read more

Since I try to eat halal, my choices are quite limited when it comes to restaurants. Noodle wave's food was pretty good. Their Tom Kha was full of flavor, herb chicken and shrimp blankets were great as appetizers. The Thai iced tea was amazing!

This place has gone way down hill. Green curry had pieces of something it was cooked with which should have been strained out before serving. The herb was totally inedible and I kept having to remove it from my mouth...disgusting. Spent close to $60 and they refused to give me the hot oil sauce with my entrees unless I paid 50 cents for each. Not even one would come with meal. Absolutely outrageous!!! I will NEVER be back. read more

We ordered: Orange Chicken Mongolian Beef Chicken Pad Thai Thai Tea My sister-in-law wanted Thai tea and liked it. My brother-in-law thought it tasted like coffee. Orange chicken was flavorful, just not crispy. Perhaps because we did a carry-out order and ate it half hour later. The sauce had good flavor, though. My favorite was the Mongolian Beef. It was really tender, flavorful and juicy. We ordered Chicken Pad Thai without peanuts because my nephew is severely allergic to peanuts. But they didn't make it without peanuts. Luckily, we saw the peanuts in pad Thai and kept it away from my nephew. The facility was clean and the staff was really courteous and prompt with service. I plan to dine in next time. read more

I have been to almost all of the Noodle Wave locations , but there is something different about this one. My usual order is the almond sriracha chicken, and i've noticed that when I get it from here there is always this red chili and serrano(?) paste on it that overpowers and ruins the whole dish for me. Until today, it was only on that dish but everything else was okay. Today I noticed it on the pad kee mow, and again it ruined the entire dish for me. The people here are very nice and everything, I just wish they would get rid of the weird chili paste. read more

So had order this pad Thai. I'm used to spicy and limey. Not sweet and no spice. Level 3 spice? Ha. This taste as sweet as the Tom Kha soup. They need a level chart because this wasn't what I was expecting. I'm so disappointed, Like there is no umami, no tang. Anyways sub-par for my palate read more

I was a frequent patron of Noodle Wave, but today will be my last visit. I ordered gluten free pad tai and immediately got sick. When I asked to see the ingredients of the sauce used I was told that the owners make the sauces and send it to them labeled gluten free, so seeing a bottle with a hand written "gluten free" label wouldn't do me any good. The wait staff was very apologetic, but that doesn't take away the fact that I'm ill and should not have been if the restaurant had taken the necessary precautions. read more

Thanksgiving week break allowed us to experience new places to eat as a family. After running around, this place called our attention. Arriving you see it's located at the edge of a strip mall and next to a national franchise that can be problematic for parking. As you enter, it seemed fuzzy whether or not we could eat at the establishment. We asked the young man at the door, and well, his short response was an omen for what was to come. The inside of the establishment was attractive yet small due to its location. Our drink order was taken and menus were brought to us. While selecting our dishes my sons and I went to the restroom to wash our hands and they were also very eye pleasing. The young man at the door came to take our order and we weren't ready so he suggested some items. Now this might seem good customer service yet his approach was in a scolding way. We finally placed our order. The kids ordered off the kids menu orange and sesame chicken which comes in a tray set up with rice and egg roll. As appetizers we had the rolls, while I ordered the fried rice and wife the Pad see chicken. The food arrived in average time yet service was not improving. I felt like we were an inconvenience to the server. I thought of comedy skit, "You're here not 4 hours but 4 minutes." As seen on the picture the kids plates were a good size. The rice had authentic fresh taste along with the Pad chicken. They automatically charge 15% gratuity for parties of 5, counting my 2 year old who only had rice. I expect better for $62 dollars especially more friendly demeanor from the server. Is it good? Yes, but automatically charging me 15% not cool especially with his negative attitude. read more
