    Cold noodles

    Cute small business The prices here are not bad and the waitstaff were absolutely lovely when I came. The food came out fast and was exactly as pictured. But as someone whose favorite noodles are cold noodles, I'll say I was very disappointed in the taste. The broth had very little to no flavor, and though it wasn't bad - it was one of the worst cold noodles I had in my life. Adding vinegar and to mustard to this couldn't save it from it's mediocrity. The cucumber slice was frozen as well, ruining the texture of the lovely crunchy vegetable. I would only consider coming back due to the amazing service was amazing (shout out to the short, black haired, cashier girl). But I would definitely would not recommend the Naengmyeon to anyone.

    Excellent Korean noodle shop - their chilled noodles are great on a hot summer day! Amazing service and seats/tables available within in a cozy space. Check it out!

    Customer service from 1 staff member is ATROCIOUS! Food isn't worth it to be accused of trying to scam them for half filling a container to go, then asking her to make it right, and then her refusing. No bueno

    Really affordable Korean noodle soup spot! Everything is reasonably priced and the portion sizes are pretty large. They used to be in the food hall in k-town but now have a small store a few blocks away. I tried the Kalguksu which had a really tasty broth along with some brisket and noodles. Definitely hit the spot for a cold day!

    I was looking for a bite to eat in k-town after a day wandering around the city, and I was intrigued by Noona Noodles. They had a vast selection of noodles displayed right outside their shop, and honestly, a nice hot bowl of noodles sounded like the perfect meal for a chillier day. The prices do seem a bit high, but once I received my bowl and saw the generous portion, I didn't mind the price! I ordered the bulgogi ramen. The beef itself was crispy and tasty. The dish also came with an assortment of veggies (carrots, scallions, radish, and kale). I asked for an egg to add as an extra. I expected to be poached, but I received it as hard-boiled - which is okay, just not what I expected. This place is great for a solo, sit-down meal. Service is also very kind and attentive - no matter how busy it got! I sat down, and my bowl was brought to my table. I was offered water once I sat down. Just note that it is a small space, so seating can be limited.

    4/5 Naengmyeon 4/5 Jjampong This is a fast casual Korean spot, we really enjoyed a quick dinner here. The large portions at a very fair price, along with satisfactory flavor -- we'd definitely come back!

    Returning to Noona, I decided to retry their jjampong, now priced at $18. The noodle soup remained relatively unchanged. The portion size was quite generous, and so too was the amount of seafood. Ample mussels, both head-on shell-on shrimp and peeled shrimp, as well as octopus, adorned the bowl. The soup was rich with stock and garlic aromatics. Notably, the smokiness of wok-sautéed vegetables (wok-hei / 鍋氣) was present as well. One glaring difference was the spice level. Despite ordering it spicy, it seemed mild to medium at best. I broke a sweat from the hot August day rather than from the spiciness.

    Kalguksu 칼국수 & Dumplings
    Simone O.

    Solid noodles, and really fast service, the staff was also super friendly. We got the Sticky Crispy Dumplings and Kalguksu, which both were fast and fantastic. The dumplings had a little bit of a kick to it, but still delicious. The broth was very hearty and it was steaming hot. I got the beef brisket, but I didn't really end up liking the texture inside the soup I thought it didn't really complement the noodles well. The noodles had great texture. Good spot for a quick lunch!

    Bulgogi ramen

    Quick no fuss place with delicious ramen noodles, those are not from a packet, those are frozen fresh noodles that are delicious, actually amazingly delicious. Staff was super friendly and mean was amazing, pricing is great.

    Kimchi udon with crispy pork belly
    Catherine C.

    Food was okay, not bad, not great. It hit the spot since it was wet out and it was right next to my hotel. Service was fast, there's a lot of young people behind the counter running the place. Ambiance was fluorescent light bright with steel bowls, a little sterile in some ways, but got the job done. Good for something fast and easy, but not the kind of place you wanna go and hang out for a while. Not a heavy Korean vibe, feels more fusiony.

    Kimchi Fried Rice
    Semaj B.

    came here by recommendation of my friend with my friend! the menu was simple! the space cozy and the service amazing! I ordered at the counter sat down and my food was served to me. I got the kimchi fried rice no egg and added kale mushrooms bok choy and shrimp with a hot tea and the canned grape soda, the fried rice was so savory! the veggies fresh the mushrooms tender the kale and bok expertly cooked and still crisp! the side of kimchi and pickled raddish was a great reprieve from the hot rice and mild spice from the dish! and the canned grape soda? 5/5 ! the cherry on top and then to find out there were pieces of grape in the can? next level! dinner and dessert all right there! So good, from start to finish! will be back!

    Cozy, heart warming meal. Nothing too crazy or mind blowing, but pretty good. Decent portion and pricing for ktown. Would go back in a pinch.

    Icy Spicy with spice on the side.  Chilled noodles, cucumber, pickled radish, egg & brisket in an incredible slush textured soup
    Alex H.

    Swung by for a quick bite and thought this was a great midtown find. This was my first time trying naengmyun or 'icy spicy soup'. The noodles stuck together a bit but the flavors were wonderful and I loved the cold broth. A very brown dish, it tastes much more flavorful than it looks. It hit a craving I didn't even know I had. Noona is fast casual counter service so you bus your own table. Bathroom was clean. Tight space during crowded times most likely but I loved the fresh flowers on the tables.

    Any vegan options?

    Yes, this place is great for vegans! The garden goddess salad is my favorite. You can also get the sweet heat noodle salad with no egg. These are just the ones that I've tried so far.

The bartender/server was friendly, attentive, and provided great service. Unfortunately, the ramen wasn't for me.

The tonkotsu...I couldn't finish it, and it didn't sit well with my stomach. I didn't say anything at the time because I thought maybe it was just me, but after reading more reviews, I realized others had a similar experience. I do want to come back and try a different dish, like the cold noodles or a bun I saw another customer enjoying. For now, it's 2 stars. I'll come back one more time and give a new update.

Every meal I had from the chicken baos to my ramen was jaw dropping. I wish I could just snap my fingers and have their ramen right in front of me. You know a soul is delicious when you don't have to add extra sauces or spices. It's a tight place so not the best for large parties. However the decorations and overall feel of the place is welcoming. I will say, the drinks too a bit long to come out and they were super expensive. One drink was $20 I believe. Which is more than the ramen itself haha I wouldn't go here for drinks cause you'll end up spending a ton of money.

We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.

This spot delivers the kind of authentic paitan that reminds you why people used to line up on cold sidewalks just for a bowl. I ordered the Paitan Ramen Deluxe, and it genuinely lives up to the name. The broth is silky, rich, and comforting without being overly salty which is exactly what a proper paitan should be. The bowl comes loaded: tender shredded chicken, seared chashu, marinated soft-boiled eggs, fresh scallions, bamboo shoots, and a sheet of nori that ties everything together. Every topping tastes intentional, not just filler. The texture balance is what really stands out fatty chashu that melts, shredded chicken with real flavor, and noodles that hold up beautifully in the broth. You can taste the care in the soup base; it has depth, not just heat or salt. If you loved Totto Ramen back in the day, this feels like its modern successor same spirit, new precision. Toribro isn't trying to reinvent ramen which they're just doing it right. And in NYC, that alone makes it worth a visit.
