    Excellent meal at a reasonable price.  Would go there again.  The staff is very friendly.

    The food and service was excellent even on a Saturday. For the area the prices were reasonable.

    Tuna Salad Sandwich
    Sarah G.

    We were craving some classic sub sandwiches for lunch and decided to give this place a try. Parking is only available via metered street spots. They do not have their own lot. When you first walk in, you can see their menu clearly listed above the register where you place you're order. The menu selection and are quite large for a sandwich shop. They have cold, hot, and specialty sandwiches. They also offer some salads and a hot dog or two. They also 3-4 refrigerators filled with drink choices and sell chips (classic lays varieties and cape cod). Hidden amongst the drinks is a filtered water dispenser if you'd just like a cup of water. I ordered a classic tuna sub with lettuce, pickles, and yellow mustard. They also have the option of Dijon mustard. My husband ordered a cold cut Italian sandwich with all the toppings: lettuce, tomato, onions, hot peppers, oil and vinegar. We decide to eat at the place. Plenty of seating but our table was quite wobbly. Sandwiches were brought out pretty quickly (a pro since we were hungry). Another pro was the sandwiches were fully loaded with toppings and meats. Meats used here are deitz and Watson. Tuna was tasty and not overly drowned in mayo. Big con... the tasteless and stale sponge of a sub they were served on. Lunch cost $19 for the two subs and no drinks. Not bad, but pretty average sandwich in my opinion.

    Tuna Salad with lettuce, onions and pickles with a side of Red Bliss Potato Salad!
    Ben G.

    Was working in the area and was looking for a good sandwich from some great people. Absolutely delicious tuna sandwich with a side of red bliss potato salad. 11/10 would recommend! Ordered the sandwich on a sub roll but found out they had ran out when I went to pick it up. Business expressed their apologies and put it on a bulky roll with extra tuna . Thanks again! Will be back!

    3.5 stars. With voucher deal in hand, I popped into this sandwich shop to taste their wares. Two tables sat outside, but within was a goodly number of tables/chairs for what was presumably a primarily take-out place. With $14 to spend on food, I decided to get both sandwiches that sounded so good to me: Turkey Gobbler $7.99 Fresh turkey from the Outpost Farm in Holliston, MA, topped with stuffing, mayo, cranberry sauce, and lettuce Monte Cristo $7.59 turkey, ham, and Swiss cheese on lightly battered Texas Toast, grilled to a golden brown Bread options for the Gobbler mentioned to me were simple: White, Wheat, Multigrain, Sub, or Bulkie Roll. I opted for the bulkie roll, yes on the lettuce and mayo, and asked for some tomato. The Gobbler came cold but with irregularly carved slices of turkey, which were much lovelier to the eye than the cold cut thinly sliced turkey in the warm Monte Cristo. Both were tasty but could have been much improved with some slight changes, ie. warming the turkey and the stuffing in the Gobbler, and providing a side of maple syrup with the Monte Cristo for dipping. They offer smoothies for $3.79, made from either a mix or fruit juice.

    They make a nice egg sandwich, and the coffee is good

    This is a great spot in Newton center for a quick bite. The food is terrific, but what makes the place special is the staff. You will not find a more friendly helpful group. It's a hit n run kind of place, but they greet you warmly and get you on your way with a smile. Busy area, parking can be scarce. That's the only tricky part. I got lucky this morning right out front! A couple of egg sandwiches and a coffee fixed me right up! Thanks for that.

    Meat Eggwich!

First, the menu is extensive, like Cheesecake Factory extensive. If you like Mediterranean inspired food with ridiculously good bakery items that caters easily to those who are gluten free, vegetarian or vegan, do not miss this place. He got the Israeli breakfast sub vegan kofta kebabs for the tuna and I got the vegetable shakshuka. The Israeli plate is a cornucopia of items, the pics don't do it justice. The plate was bigger than his head. He was in heaven, mmmmm-ing and ohhhing as he ate. I had the shakshuka. Now, I make this at home and have eaten it at numerous restaurants. I know good shakshuka. It was divine. The perfect amount of heat, eggs were properly runny, and the veggies were a perfect balance of crunch and spring. An espresso vanilla bean hurricane, was a delightful addition to the rest of our lunch. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The cafe interior was utilitarian and well maintained. The staff delivering food were attentive to other guests needs as they walked by. All in all, excellent food and experience. I look forward to returning.

There…read moreis something magical about being handed a steaming hot clay pot instead of a plastic takeout container (microplastics, no thanks). It reminds me a little of the old Shine's Fresh Asian in Belmont, except somehow cozier and a little more elevated. If you're looking for a place for a big group, this probably won't work. Most of the seating is bar-style facing a beautiful Chinese-inspired wallpaper. However, if you're eating solo, or with one other person, I think it's one of the best places around. There's something incredibly peaceful about settling in with a hot bowl of noodle soup while the clay pot keeps everything piping hot on a cold, snowy winter's day. The menu has so many different soups and hand-pulled noodles that I keep telling myself I'm going to branch out. In fact, I *thought* I had branched out...until my food arrived and I realized I had accidentally ordered the exact same dish I'd gotten the last time. Apparently my subconscious knows what it's likes. The culprit? The clay pot rice noodle soup with pork, Spam, chives, carrots, napa cabbage, baby bok choy, wood ear mushrooms, quail egg, tomato, green onions, and soy sauce. That is an absurd amount of yummy goodness packed into one bowl, and honestly, I can't even be mad at myself for ordering it twice. Could you get it to go? Sure. I've certainly done it before, but I think this is one of those meals that's meant to be eaten there. The clay pot keeps everything hot, the noodles stay just right, and the whole experience feels comforting in a way that doesn't quite survive a car ride home. I sincerely hope House of Noodles stays in Newton for a very long time. It's the kind of neighborhood restaurant that quietly becomes part of your routine, and I'm really glad it's here.

The hot and sour noodles were decent but not as sour as i expected. Still comforting and filling and I'd order it again as the price is quite fair. They have an extensive menu and I'm curious to try more of their food.

    I call my Mom Grandma Ding because she's a little ditzy. And she likes to tag along on family…read moreoutings like a dinghy attached to a bigger boat, sometimes in front, sometimes in the wake, so when we found this place on Yelp it was fate. We came for a family dinner and of course Grandma Ding was with us in her wheelchair. We only smashed into a few chairs in the big, crowded dining room. And fortunately other customers were understanding while the staff was helpful and accommodating. The small, curious child running around the dining room without parental supervision didn't get hurt when I ran him over. The menu was huge so it took a long time to order with Grandma asking questions about every item. I could see that the waitstaff was used to quick orders and rapid food delivery to the table, but the waiter remained kind and patient. He also repeated his answers loudly when she couldn't understand his English and because she didn't have her hearing aides turned up. We finally ordered a giant wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce, a shrimp dish, and orange chicken; all to share. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and delicious. Grandma Ding did have to ask for the soup to be heated up because she likes it to be scalding. The dining room is worn and dishes were flying in and out as items were served and cleared. It's definitely a place for family meals, not one for an engagement proposal or romance. Perfect for our evening. Portions are generous and prices competitive with other restaurants in the area. Parking on the street is the only difficulty, particularly when you have a nonagenarian to get into the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

The scallion pancakes were excellent - the winner of the evening. The potstickers weren't what is typically referred to as potstickers, but the small gyodza that one buys by the bag in Chinese and Korean markets. These were poor and flavorless (we've bought MUCH tastier ones in H-Mart and the 88). The eggplant was very tasty, not too garlicky, and was an enormous portion. It was a bit greasy, but not too bad. The chicken with cashews was bland and boring. We dined there with a good friend and commented about the great service - fast and efficient. As I mentioned, the portion size was significantly larger that most restaurants these days. The prices were a bit high, especially considering the barebones atmosphere - but this is Newton Center, and we expected this. In short, I won't return to Ding's - there are lots of better choices.

    Service was friendly. Unfortunately, I really didn't like what I ordered…read more I got the Pla (fish) with vegetables, and it was too salty for me and didn't have another clear flavor in its favor. There wasn't a strong ginger or garlic essence like I'm used to in a Thai brown gravy. My friends seemed happy with their curries though...so maybe I just ordered wrong. On Sunday, they have a very strong takeout business, which also impacted the ambience. At one point there were like six people waiting in line at the entrance. In such a small establishment, it changes the vibe to have people hovering and getting impatient and clarifying orders, with the frequent entrance/exit of new patrons. Our table was closest to the entrance so we probably "felt" it more than other tables would have. Still, for the "mom's night out" space that we were cultivating, I would've preferred to pay more to go someplace that had less of a takeout vibe.
