The best pho weve had in town. Not as good as in Viet Nam but still very tasty. Whenever I get a craving for pho, we head here.Ask about the art, he has great stories.Oh and hands down the pineapple boba is my favorite but the iced coffee rocks too.

My husband and I have been coming to this place for a year now and it beats all the rest of the Pho places in the area. It’s always so fresh and the price for the portions is great. I highly recommend their spring rolls with their delicious peanut sauce and add some of the most AMAZING chili oil I’ve had at a restaurant here in Salinas. My favorite would have to be their salt and pepper fish, or pecan shrimp. I recommend trying their crispy spicy beef or their shrimp chow fung! Their broth is homemade and you can taste the love.Out of all the Pho places here in Salinas this one checks off all on the board for food quality, quantity and consistency.

Excellent restaurant. I had the crispy chicken with rice, and the beef pho. Both delicious. Owner is friendly, easy to talk to. Restaurant has a clean, cozy atmosphere. Family friendly.

Small place but huge on flavor and great food! I went here with a friend and was sceptical on the presentation since it looks like a mom & pop type place. I ordered the sea food pho. They have small and large sized bowls - order the small. Its a huge bowl and the large size is technically a kiddy pool. Flavor was like the Ratatouille scene of the food critic when he gets taken back to his childhood. Amazingly good and flavorful. New favorite place in Salinas.

We’ve been coming to noodle house for years. And we’ve never been disappointed. It’s very family friendly, and the customer service is always amazing. Most of the servers have been there for years. And greet you like an old friend rather than a customer.The food is good too! I recommend the pho. Which is what I usually order. However, the fried rice, and duck are a must as well!It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in salinas. Their food is a lot better than other places I’ve tried in the area.

I love this place! The workers are very welcoming and treat you as if you were family. Everyone is so friendly! The food is amazing! There are vegetarian friendly options. The lunch specials are great and all of the food is wonderful. Everything is prepared quickly but still tastes fresh. The workers check on you pretty often. The prices are good. The dining area is clean and everyone is like a big family so everyone treats you nicely whether this is your first visit or 20th visit. Everything tastes flavorful and fresh. I love this place and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in vietnamese food!

Our hostess was very sweet. Also attentive. Both me and my husband have had many different noodle experiences. But the food we ordered was bland and had to pay extra to fix the flavoring in one of the chicken dishes. The pho came somewhat lukewarm. Not hot what so ever. So it took the soup a long time to draw the flavor out of the basil and jalapenos. This was just our honest experience. I really hoped for better.

Review №17

2017-12-15 05:11:04

We were treated really well by the staff. The lunch portions were plenty big enough, the prices were fair. The food was fine. It didnt wow me, but it was worth the visit. For my taste profile, there are better Vietnamese food options in town.

2022-02-18 20:17:58

Excellent pho. You can really taste the star anise in the broth. I highly recommend this place for the Vietnamese food. I havent tried the Chinese food yet but will update when I do. Update: still havent tried the Chinese food but that is because the Vietnamese food is so good!

Delicious!! I have 6.pho with shrimp, chicken and wontons(no meatballs) and it was everything Id hope for. My bf has been coming here for years! Rice plates and also super good and salt and pepper pork!

Review №22

2019-02-12 15:33:51

Only place I know I can definitely trust to eat at! Wonderful business owners with absolutely welcoming smiles and fantastic sense of humor nothing beats this Noodle House!, the atmosphere is like you never left your house with how at home you feel from the moment you open the door to enter til the very second you leave! I always mainly suggest the Large vegetable pho its a staple everytime I go out with my significant other,-their sweet and sour sauce for the springroll/eggrolls is as addicting as crack- must tryIts too good to pass, as well as the shrimp fried rice very rarely. I highly recommend trying this place!

I love the roasted turkey/avocado eggs benedict. It is always busy and sometimes a bit of a wait but they have coffee and water there for you. The staff is friendly, Though the food is delicious but it very often is not hot when it comes to the table. They do seasonal items based on local harvest/holidays.

Fast service, good food, fair price. Ordered chow mein, fried rice and two platters. Split between myself and another hungry person. We both left with full tummies and 2 to go boxes of leftovers for my dogs.

Friendly, Fast, and TASTY!Im a local and have tried just about every noodle type of restaurant in Salinas, CA.Noodle House is my #1 go to. I really appreciate the owner and the staff!About me:Im a vegetarian, my go to is the Tofu Pho, comes with fresh veggies.

2019-04-02 00:51:10

I am very mad at their service right now. I attempted to pick up my order which they gave my order to the wrong customer. Realizing their mistake they called and asked the customer to come back in attempt to make a switch to the correct order. I should of just left the restaurant. Its going to be hard to trust you guys again. I WILL NOT RETURN TO THAT PLACE EVER AGAIN! You guys have lost a regular customer.My order for the family was 2x Shrimp Fried Rice, 1x Mongolian Beef and 1x Wonton Soup.

I got horrible horrible food poisoning from this place. I went here with my boyfriend and had pho. About 2 hours later at 9pm I started throwing up and was violently ill till around 6 am the next day and was unwell for another day. I will never go back here again. The thought of this place makes me sick to my stomach.

We go to this place all the time, its got some of the best food in town! Im a big fan of the Kung Pow Seafood although my Wife is partial to the curry chicken. The staff here is super friendly, combined with great food makes this place definitely worth the stop

2019-03-06 03:59:30

This is a small chinese, vietnamese restaurant in a strip mall. Very attentive service. There is a lot of selection, very surprising considering the size of the restaurant. I enjoyed my meal very much oh, I did choose Vietnamese food as that is my favorite. The prices are extremely reasonable. I would recommend this place if you are alone or with a group.

I was having a craving for Pho and this was one of the only places around that had it. Lots of things on the menu and the service is fast and friendly. The Pho was good. I went back again to get a Lunch Special which was also a good amount of food and tasty.

Noodle house is a very good restaurant and serves the best Pho. Their waiters are fast and friendly! (although they seem to argue with each other at points) The food is good and satisfying..especially their special drinks like Thai tea

This is the only place I will get my Pho. I have been coming here for years and I love to bring people who have never been here. Its a family business and I will always give them my business. Its nothing fancy and thats ok with me! Need to make sure you stop by and say hi to Elvis he is a talker and so friendly...

Best Pho in town.

Review №38

2015-01-23 02:31:43

I eat there at least once a week. I wish the Vietnamese side of the menu was more expansive, but the limited variety they have is some of the best Ive ever had, and is single handedly the best in this area.The chinese food is your typical American ¿schewzchan? dishes that are overly sweet and salty that kill your gut later. But they do taste pretty good for what they are.In short, add authentic hunnan and more Vietnamese dishes if you want 5 stars guys. Otherwise your food and friendly service is only going to be a four star.

Had noodle dinner there, two days ago.Good food, well presented too.Good service, courteous, friendly.--The dinner aftermath was not so good : they put obviously lots of MSG (monosodium glutamate) in the food and that got me quite sick (chineese syndrom).--I will stop there sometime, and report the issue to the owner: this is quite unfortunate.Hopefully the owner will stop using MSG, and put a sign (like other chineese restaurants) NO MSG here.A.G mid-june 2014

Their Pho Ga is how I remember it from DaNang, Viet Nam. Great portions. Reasonably priced. Soup is wonderfully authentic. No 5th start because I dont get the Cafe Sau Da served in the traditional way.
