Tuesday and Sunday special
Jordan R.

Good deal, it's only for chicken and rice. Considering prices everywhere else's I'd say it's a good deal

It's hard to tell where to start with this place. It's absolutely filthy to begin with, inside and outside. They are terribly short staffed with only one person on the grill and she mixes up orders, they forgot my ribs and a children's bowl and I had to drive back and ask for it but the cook was mad and said she gave it to the wrong customer so now I have to wait "a long time" and proceeds to start sweeping, instead of making my order while passively aggressively giving me dirty looks then made me wait 45 minutes (i kid you not) on top of the 30 minutes we waited before for our original order. The whole time I was sitting waiting the cook would continue to sweep and mop to get ready to close and casually go back to making food, no gloves, no washing hands or anything. This isn't the staffs fault this has poor management written all over it, they are short staffed, over worked and need help but there's no manager on site.

White Meat Chicken Rice Bowl with Avocado

I always have the best experience here service and food wise. Bella is the nicest and my food always comes out amazing. This is definitely my go to WABA!!

Come here quite often and it's always ok. You can see your food being prepared. Good tasting and a generous serving. The staff is always friendly and accurate.

Watch out for those chicken bones. It's like a needle in a haystack.

Foods fine but they tend to leave out avocado if you order it. Check your food before you leave!

My favorite restaurant is when visiting the Soboba Casino…read more The Noodle Bar offers some of the most delicious food anywhere. In my opinion, it is truly a hidden gem. The food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS, fresh, and flavorful. Portion sizes will leave you feeling happy and full every time. Employees are friendly, welcoming, and always appear happy. The vibe here is relaxing and fun. Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes, and the menu is rather large, so guests have many food options. I always leave here knowing I just had a great and delicious meal.

The service was good ,our waitress Serrena was attentative and refilled your drink without having to ask her. The food wasn't bad. The wonton soup kinda lacked the flavorful broth, but adding chili and soy sauce made it better. The garlic chicken wings were juicy inside and crispy outside. They definately didn't skimp on the fried garlic bits, which were delicious. The spicy dumplings had a good chili flavor to it, but you have to watch out for those peppercorns if you're not a fan. The ube butter cake was our favorite. The Ube ice cream with the butter cake together was a fantastic bite. I was disappointed that the edge of the cake was hard like a cookie; however, the middle part of the cake, underneath the ice cream, was still soft. The restaurant wasn't crowded and we didn't have to wait for a table. The restaurant had a nice Asian decor with good lighting and very clean.

I wouldn't say it's the most traditional (granted, it doesn't claim to be), but overall, it was decent. The Combo Fried Rice and Sticky Ribs took center stage, followed by the Poke Nachos. The Shrimp Wonton Soup fell a bit short, with some of the noodles bundled together, causing parts of it to be undercooked. As for the Salt & Pepper Fish, I personally thought it could have used a bit more salt... Service: Amazing! We sat at the bar and were waited on by an attentive person, with a great demeanor. Ambiance: Casual, modern. Parking: Ample parking. Located inside Morongo casino, which has an adjacent parking garage.

Sticky BBQ pork rib - it's really a Thai dish but excellently executed, grilled over charcoal and brushed with tangy honey bbq sauce, it's fall-off-the-bone tender and a must-get appetizer/bar bite. Shrimp fried rice - one of the best versions I've had, and that includes Din Tai Fung. It's packed with jumbo prawns and the fried rice was wokked to perfection, so full of umami and flavor. Service was also exceptionally courteous, made me feel like a VIP, even though I was sitting at the bar.

My colleagues and I were in town for a conference and staying about a mile and a half from here. I…read moreran it and raved about the beef and crispy noodles and the calamari. On our journey to Palm Springs my team left the food choices to me since I'm picky. Lol. We showed up on a Wednesday night (note that they do not open Monday and Tuesday), around 4:40 PM. There was already a long line of individuals waiting to get in. There were about 15 people ahead of us. At opening, we were immediately sat down into the second dining room to the right of the restaurant. It gives a different vibe than the main room with its red bench seating and lantern ceiling. Although the benches were high, and the tables were a little low, we managed. Of course, we tried the complementary congee. Which I love, but my colleagues were not a big fan of. We ordered the calamari and the crispy beef noodle. We also ordered the shrimp and mango spring roll, the softshell crab and green papaya salad, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The shining stars, for my colleagues were the calamari and crispy beef noodle. Followed by the shrimp and mango spring rolls and the softshell crab. The three of us did not enjoy the pork belly at all even though it came recommended. We actually only ate 2 pieces. The food overall was good although we wish we didn't get the pork or at least stuck to our goal of four main dishes. The waitress recommended we get one more and that's when we added the pork. Next time we will go with our gut instinct. One thing that was disappointing on this visit was that when we ordered drinks, one of them came out in a can. We were under the assumption it was a draft pour. For $14 it should have been noted that it is canned. The way that it is written into the menu no one would assume otherwise.

Got in line 15 min before opening, and made it into the first wave of seating, albeit with the…read morerestaurant housing two spacious dining rooms, this isn't necessarily the flex one might think. Complimentary congee made for a comforting, home-y start to our Vietnamese fusion dinner, and our party of 2 followed with fresh rolls - we took our server's recommendation of LEMONGRASS PORK & DATE, CRISPY SHALLOT, RICE NOODLE, MIZUNA but weren't particularly impressed - and mains of PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN STUFFED CURRY BALL, RED BELL PEPPER, BASIL (gluten free) and SHAKING BEEF, PICKLED RED ONION, GARLIC, CUCUMBER TOMATO SALAD, both of which we enjoyed much more. Wish there were dessert options!

There were several people waiting, and we all stood there for about six minutes without any acknowledgment. Being busy is not an excuse--guests should be greeted right away, even if it's just to let them know someone will be with them shortly. When we were finally acknowledged, our server was nice, but unfortunately that was the highlight of the experience. The food was extremely overpriced for the quality. I ordered one pound of head-on shrimp, and they were overcooked, dry, and completely lacking flavor. The seasoning was so minimal that the Cajun fries had more flavor than the shrimp themselves. Overall, the experience was disappointing and did not justify the prices at all. Based on both the service and the food quality, I would not return and would not recommend it.
