Check out this small spot, really good got the chicken egg noodle soup lots of flavor. Also the shrimp spring rolls, chicken chow mein, pretty authentic.

Had the beef chow mean. Was little bland and greasy.Waiter has no personality, more focused on the football game.

The food was pretty good. I ordered takeout. Was very impressed with how well packaged the food was. Thai tea and shrimp spring rolls were excellent. The pad thai noodles were average, but still good. My sister loved the vegan options.

Staff is attentive although not friendly. Prices are good for portions. Good flavor of soup bases and enjoyed the fried noodles, soup and bun. They made accommodations requested like leaving out specific ingredients. Quick service. Clean, but very small dining room. Better than the north Main noodle shop with flavors.

Great food and great service! The owners were nice and welcoming. I had the seafood egg noodle soup and that was delicious! Their pho are famous for being delicious. Will definitely be back as a regular.

Veggie Pho is the only plate I enjoy. Flavor is on point and the veggies are perfect! Always satisfied.Customer Service … we would all like a different approach but nevertheless my food is on point!

2019-12-16 04:35:40

Good food and very fast. The only problem is the seating inside. When sitting at most parts, people line up around you to pay and pickup. They really just need to move table or make line more spacious so people arent crowded around people eating.

Horrible customer service had to ask them to take our order and it was empty waiter was rude no hello no how are u just gave us the menu and left. Lots of arguing staff as well. Not coming backkkk # not a Karen it was really bad

I have only had friendly service. The place can get busy, but our orders arrive reasonably quick. Love the #40 Lemongrass chicken. So good! My son always gets the pho and loves it. This place has me addicted to boba tea. Such a delicious tea.

Review №16

2023-02-07 20:21:28

Haven’t been in a while. I remember why. Mediocre offerings and horrific service (if you can call it that!) choose wisely, don’t bother

Review №17

2021-03-17 05:15:23

Possibly the best combo fried rice Ive ever had. 10/10 would recommend. Support this local business! My wife loves the meatball pho as well. Fast takeout during COVID lockdown.

Review №18

2018-07-16 21:05:38

Good eats: Fantastic fresh spring rolls and pho.One regular waiter that is rather quiet comes across as a bit aloof...would like it if he were a bit more friendly.Like the other reviewer, hours up on Goggle would be nice but maybe they arent that computer savvy. Note: closed Sundays at this writing.

Food and boba drinks are pretty good but the owner and most of the waiters are kinda rude. Id stick to ordering take out only to avoid having to tip.😃

Reat prices, quick service, easy transaction.Came here to pick up lunch one day for work and so I called in early to order takeout. It was a pretty quick, easy phone call. An hour later, I drive in to pick up my order. it was ready to go, nicely packaged with utensils. They do take credit cards which is very nice unlike some other Asian places.The food is ok, pretty standard, medium portions. Nothing fancy.

Review №22

2019-03-07 06:13:50

My 4th time here. The waiter has been consistently rude. All 4 times Ive seen him, he always looks like a grumpy kid who just dropped his lollipop on the ground. Ive never seen him smile. When he brings the food, he almost throws the food on the table, making loud noises. Owner/cashier guy not that friendly and never said thank you.Food is progressively getting worse. My first visit, food was pretty decent. But now, pho broth is very greasy, bean sprouts are not cleaned well (dead/brown sprouts), and spring roll peanut sauce doesnt even has peanuts on them!Probably not going back, unless other pho places all close down.TLDR:Service = 1 starFood = 2 starsDisappointment = 5 stars

Review №23

2021-12-29 04:59:18

I called to order a soup, the person that answered was rude, he quickly hung up and didnt bother to tell me when it would be ready, nor did he ask for my name. I pick up the soup and ask for hot sauce and Im denied hot sauce. Never again!

So pleased with the quality of the food, service, and setting. Delicious food arrived quickly, generous portions, service was attentive, clean and inviting place, and great prices.

Whats up with this place always being out of Basil? Every single time. I want basil with my Pho!!And why is the beef in the rare beef pho always cooked through before i get it?Both of these take away from the experience.Plus side is that the broth is really good and probably the second best broth Ive had in the Monterey area.Perfect for cold, cloudy or rainy nights ...with a perfect amount of anise.

Fresh and delicious food! I just went for the first time, seems to be a popular place with locals. I had vermicelli noodles with shrimp. It was very tasty with fresh lettuce and cilantro on top and a nice light sauce. Ill be back!

Review №27

2022-01-09 08:40:37

Love their food but most importantly the way they treat me and my daughter. They already know what we want before we even order which means that they care for their customers.

Review №28

2016-07-11 03:38:25

Its another family owned fast food noodle house. That doesnt make it bad, but theyre lacking their hours of operation on the web page, and no answering message after 20 or so rings, to tell you whether their closed or just busy. The point of sale is intrusive with no options for self-determination of tip amount: 10%, 15%, or 20% check boxes on the computer screen. In a family-owned business, my particular service person will only get a portion of the tip I think they deserve.

Review №29

2017-09-30 20:01:10

My favorite dishes are the pork vermicelli (#24) and the pork spring rolls -- these really hit home for me. 9/30/17 Phở seems better than before: broth isnt as good as the top restaurants in Little Saigon, but theyre generous with the portion and meats (#14 Mr Noodles special). Gets very busy during lunch and dinner, so I recommend ordering to-go over the phone if youre in a hurry. Because theyre busy, its hard for them to be attentive, so I give them 4 stars.

Has improved a lot since it first opened.Service is quick, and it has the best pho in the Monterey County. Tastes great, lots of bean sprouts, and the prices are very fair.

Review №31

2017-12-10 22:40:57

Really impressive food.My wife had chicken pho, which was tasty with plenty of broth and all the fixings.I had the lemongrass chicken on rice noodles. The chicken was cooked just right and the sauce added to the noodles is just the right about it spice.My son had vegetable fried rice. Hes a little picky at three, so he picked out the bok choy, but I liked it. The rice had a little crisp to it and tasted like comfort food. Ill have it for lunch tomorrow.We also had the pork spring rolls. The meat was BBQ pork and still hot. Ive been to places before that give you cold lunch meat inside. This was definitely not that.We have been to a lot of Vietnamese restaurants across the central valley and into the bay area, and in Orange County. This was among our favorite.The place was busy and they were short staffed, but everyone was humming right along. We will definitely be back.

This place sucks. The food is great but the waiter we had was bad!!!! It was probably that time of month for him. We couldnt enjoy our food because this guy was setting a bad environment. It was like eating with your parents after a feud.

Great food and service. Worth my drive and money. Owner is always ready to greet you and make sure food quality is great.

Review №34

2018-05-29 02:23:45

Service was bad. As we were going in the girls at the front counter started complaing about how they were gunna close soon(there was an hour left before they were going to closewhich was 5), they then proceeded to change the closing time to 4. Guys in the back were also complainging that they should have closed earlier. So we got our pho to go. Got home and the broth was disgusting. Worst pho Ive ever had.

Review №35

2020-06-07 17:40:25

I usually go here once a week, but I have been ordering to-go once a week. They have even accommodated my request for my noodles to be al dente. Nice portions for a good price.

2018-03-11 21:42:25

Recommend their chicken or pork udon. Its a nice big bowl with plenty of meat and veggies and of course the noodles. Their boba teas are also very good. Seating is limited so you may have to wait. Bummer its closed Sundays.

I love Mr. Noodle!! I get takeout alot, and they are usually very fast and always friendly. For takeout its usually only a 15 min wait. The food is YUMMY! Try the lemongrass beef, its my familys all time favorite thing on the menu. Of course, their classic pho is delicious too, all for a very good price. They have soo many flavors of boba too, my favorite is mocha. Im so glad we have this place in the area.

It was my first time trying Mr. Noodles, it wasn’t a good experience. I had high hopes based on the other reviews but was sorely dissatisfied. I ordered the chicken noodle, barely any veggies and the chicken was hard. Will not be going back. I should have gone back to Saigon Noodles.
