    N10. Drunken Noodles with Chicken
    Nicole S.

    Really good Thai food! The service was great and this is such a great spot for a quick lunch! I think this is the best Thai food I've tried around Sterling Heights, the flavor was great for the price point and the seating inside is quite spacious.

    Authentic Thai food at its best! I had the tom yum soup and spring rolls to start, followed by the pad ka prow for the main. This is the ONLY place that makes pad ka prow the right way, authentic. Honestly, it's the best I've had outside of Bangkok!

    10/10 food every time I go. Their thai tea is great and the food always comes out amazing. I love their Hmong options as well!

    Great food and service was outstanding The environment is refreshing and amazing place for a lunch or dinner. Update: lucky to work nearby so I can have quick lunch at the best Thai restaurant!! Today I tried the pad Thai curry noddles dinner portion as I like more chicken. You can ask for extra chicken with lunch portion as well. Love the flavor and portion size. Service is too notch and they cares their customer. Every time wonderful experience. This is true hidden gem. Highly recommended to my fiends and family already. A must try if you haven't !

    I ordered by calling the restaurant. They said it would be a 40min wait. Decided to go early and wait until pick up and what felt like enough time, went inside, was told to wait for another 4mins or so. It took a lot longer than expected. As someone who used to work in restaurant, this can happen due to being understaffed most of the time. I could tell that this restaurant was understaffed, I saw the lady and her child working only, during the time which I came in. The lady was making the food, taking care of dine in customers that were there, handling the phone line to take orders, it was hectic and very busy for them and I understand that things can take time but no customer should wait 1hr for their food. I was patient and understanding so I did not become one of those customers who got aggressive and upset about the wait time. However, had it been someone else, I highly doubt they would be as patient and understanding as me. So if they could hire staffs to make things go more smoothly and efficiently, it would be a lot better for this business. After all the wait and finally getting my food, the lady gave me 2 free nab va, which is kind and generous of her because I know that the wait time was too long and you'd try your best to accommodate to your customers by making sure they're satisfied at the end for the service. The food was great and actually very enjoyable. I enjoyed the faum kauv very much and I would love to return and keep supporting this business. It's rare to see Hmong ran restaurants that actually makes a variety of Hmong food. They usually stick to what's popular but this place gives you more options than that. My only recommendation/tip for those who wants to order for pick up, I'd say give it 40min-1hr wait. They seem to be understaffed and lots of people order from here (from what I can see when I was there). Your food will be worth the wait.

    Great handmade noodle place with various soups, dim sum, and more. The pork soup dumplings were so…read morebrothy and warm, and the beef soup had a lighter flavor than expected, but was still SO good nonetheless (would recommend adding a bit of chili oil and soy sauce though)! I also LOVED the noodles; they had the best texture and length in the Metro-Detroit area. When it comes to service, there's definitely a "hands-off" approach, as you order via a QR code and a machine brings your dishes to you. However, I was personally a fan of that, and we were still checked on by workers from time to time. Food came fast and I absolutely loved the vibes and interior of the restaurant. Great place and experience overall!

    Don't judge a noodle by its storefront…read more We stopped by Noodle Topia for dinner while we were in the area, fully expecting a tiny hole-in-the-wall spot...only to walk inside and find a surprisingly spacious restaurant with cozy decor and a warm atmosphere. Total plot twist. The place was pretty quiet with only a few diners, so service was steady, though a little slow at times. We ordered the veggie noodles, cucumber salad, lamb skewers, xianbing pancake, and juicy pork dumplings. Overall, the food was decent and comfortably average, but honestly, we were just excited to finally find a Szechuan-style Chinese restaurant nearby. The veggie noodles were the clear winner of the night: chewy, flavorful, and coated in a sauce that had us going back for bite after bite. I could've done without the bok choy, though, and I wish the noodles had been a little less oily. The cucumber salad leaned much sweeter than we expected and was swimming in a bit too much soy sauce for our taste. The pork dumplings were nice and juicy inside, but the wrappers were slightly too doughy. Now the lamb skewers? Absolutely delicious. Great flavor, good portion size, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The biggest disappointment, unfortunately, was the xianbing pancake. It didn't feel authentic at all. The crepe was way too thick, and the crispy crackers inside had lost all crunch and turned soggy instead. Still, the cozy vibe, solid noodles, and tasty skewers made it a worthwhile visit, especially if you're craving Szechuan flavors around Madison Heights.

And whoever mops the floors must have an irrational childhood fear of cleaning corners. Although the floors themselves are clean, each corner has a disgusting black buildup of filth. Likewise, the sinks in the bathroom. They have not been cleaned well in a very long time. Food: the beef roll pie is delicious. The marinated beef is OK but should be served cold, not room temperature. The steamed dumplings were OK too. However, the noodle dishes were oily, bland, flavorless, and just seasoned with a sweet brown sauce. Further, there is almost no meat to be found in the noodle dishes. What I had looked to be scraps. I paid three dollars extra to have the wide hand cut noodle. It was basically served raw to me. Service: this place has no concept of service. Food comes out haphazardly. First I got my entrée, then my daughter got her entree, then we got two appetizers. Sometime later, my son got his entrée, and the steamed dumplings came. Never once was an empty dish taken away, and never once was a water glass refilled. Service here is absolutely awful. Other than the beef roll pie, there isn't a single redeeming quality about this place. The food is awful, the service is terrible, all surfaces are sticky and dirty. Avoid this place at all cost.

It was a Saturday night and there were only two other families dining in, so it felt very quiet. Not a bad thing if you want low-key, just don't go in expecting a buzzy or lively atmosphere. I'd come back for the food, but mostly knowing what to expect next time helps.

This consists of pancit bihon (traditional noodle dish), chicken inasal (yes!! boneless thigh), pork bbq on a stick, rice, cucumber slices, dipping sauce and choice of drink. Fresh, hot and generous enough for me to make two meals out of it. Very clean restaurant with a nice vibe. Gentleman working the counter is personable and so welcoming. Other than fresh hot entrees you will see packaged baked goods , condiments and a few assorted gift items for sale. The food? Ahhhmaaazing. Tastes like it should and looks like it should. I know why. Lola came out with the home cooked entrees, placing the pancit and other select choices in the heated serving pans. Who is Lola you ask? Well, that is the term for Grandma in the Filipino dialect of Tagalog. Someone's Lola was back there doing what she knows from memory, traditions and simply cooking with love and joy to please whoever she is sharing her food with. Yes there were other talented hands working alongside Lola but she is the key to making the food as it should be. I have already raved to my family and friends about trying Yma Ymas. Definitely give them a try, you will NOT be disappointed. You're missing out if you don't. I am going to return and continue supporting this deserving small business. I feel my Filipino pride well represented in this establishments cuisine. This is the REAL. Maraming salamat Ymas Ymas for doing it RIGHT! I hope you are able to do more special themed late afternoon/evening events that hilite Metro Detroit Filipinos talent of ALL ages and not just vocal performers (though I would love to see and hear teen and younger vocalists). Think about those local Pinoys who are crafters, artists, poets, writers, apparel designers , stylists, hairdressers, makeup/hair artists, jewelers, etc. I would support seeing them at the same time supporting Yma Ymas and more importantly supporting our local Pinoy people.
