Their delicious food and exceptional service really made our day after a long film production. The patio was exactly what we were looking for and the BYOB was a major plus. Looking forward to coming back and trying something new!

We lived in Wrigleyville almost 30 years ago and would go to Noodles at least every other week. Anytime we are near Chicago we will take the time to drive through town to get Noodles. It has yet to disappoint us.

I’m a fan of their chicken pad Thai and Crab Rangoon. Take out -always hot and good portion sizes.

I ordered Pad won sen for the first time. Tasty but a lil too salty for me. Will come back and taste the Tom yam soup and updates my review accordingly.

The service was kind and faster, and the food was ok, the egg rolls are good. The drunken noddles and the golden noodles it tastes a lot like egg.

Ordered from this establishment before and unfortunately we had a major disappointment the 2nd time when we saw chicken in our fried rice!!! We’re a vegetarian family and understand mix-up’s can occur, but the way the manager/owner responded to our call was quite disappointing. Per his response “mistakes happen in the kitchen, sorry” with no regards to how devastating this was for our family. He basically downplayed what happened to us and simply said “mistakes happen” with no empathy. To offer me a credit of the dish when we come in next time was insulting as now we have to go 30 mins out of our way, our time, for an egregious flub on their part. Makes sense why they’re 4.4 on Google vs being higher. Food is so expensive these days, that we’ll spend our money elsewhere! Good luck ordering delivery, you never know what might just pop up in your dish!
