I made the mistake of assuming that Yummy Noodle House was Vietnamese restaurant. Turns out it was Chinese, more or less. Still I was here and hungry anyway.
I checked the app and saw some Vietnamese restaurants in the area so I decide to pick the one that was top rated and this one popped up. I was like OK top rated. Let's see what it is like. On arrival, this restaurant was very small. They had only about three tables For a customers to sit in dining in. The person who created me I assumed it was the owner. The good thing about this place is that they had an outlet next to the table I was sitting in, so I ended up asking the owner if I could use the outlet while I was dining. It was nice because my phone was dying, and I needed juice for my phone. With that said, I ended up having Ramen as the meal. He said it was like Pho, since they use a version of the beef noodle soup broth. Vietnamese cuisine is popularized for. I'm like OK whatever. My experience here was about an hour or so. During that time, I saw five people come in and picking up their taking out orders. The price is here that expensive, but it is up there. The menu is limited, buthas a wide breath of offerings. For myself, though, I thought the Ramen was pretty decent and satisfied. Definitely typical and above average, to say the least. It was Delicious and definitely was a good investment to come to this restaurant, even though it wasn't Vietnamese cuisine per se. I would have ample opportunities in Albuquerque to do so to fill up on Vietnamese, but for this night, though, I had Chinese food. In hindsight, though, it probably was the best thing I could have since I was preparing for a lot of fun on Sunday in Southern Illinois (5 days after this experience).
The over experience here at Yummy Noodle House in Albuquerque, New Mexico was good and casual while being covertly awesome at the same time. Noodles have a fine way of enriching your soul and enriching your bodies at the same time. That's what it did for me while providing an excellent carbohydrate base for my running endeavors. I was essentially carb loading for a 50 mile race in Southern Illinois that was upcoming. Best to say, carbs are a runner's best friend and was thankful that I was here to have some of that in a form of Ramen. The service here was friendly and definitely professional. The owner answered all my questions that I had about the comparison of Vietnamese food with his options at his restaurant. The Restaurant itself is clean but very small as noted before. The ambience was generally quiet since I was only one dining here on a Monday night after 7:30 PM. I don't think there is any air condition to speak of, but it was comfortable because the weather outside was cold enough to wear it didn't really make a difference. For the most part, though, the experience was enjoyable and definitely well needed. In hindsight, it was an essential part of my buildup for the 50 mile race. I had not known that before, but I'm just thankful that I chose this place. I believe in superstition so that's how it's going to be. I enjoyed the noodles and never usually have noodles and soup on a daily basis so it was a actual treat for me. So, if you're in the area and craving some Chinese soul food, best bet is to get yourself here to Yummy Noodle House to sample the best in Chinese cuisine. If you never had noodles and soup, you may wanna try that first because it's pretty awesome. Definitely recommended if you're in the area. Also, you may want to ask the owner if he has any recommendations for first time in this restaurant.
Yummy Noodle House restaurant is located in big time center shopping complex. Physically, it is centralized at 6001 Winter Haven Road NW in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico. Like most restaurants nowadays they accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, this restaurant is a part of a large shopping center so parking is plenty people and there is a lot. Best bet is to come here before the lunch or dinner rush to secure the best parking possible. If you're like me, Uber and Lyft is your best friend, especially when you're a tourist and don't want to rent a car. Although rent a car is great for ease and convenience, it can be safe too. Not sure if Albuquerque, New Mexico public transportation system comes to the area, but best thing to do is to look online and see if they do. If they are a major stopping point in the area, best bet is to check anyway. Not saying that this place is a hidden gem, but it could be, very well be! Best thing to do is check it out for yourself and you'll be surprised. Noodles seem to be just as simple thing. A simple pleasure. At times a Guilty pleasure. A happy pleasure.
