I drive by here every day and finally called in a takeout order. Got sausage dumplings, duck ramen and vegetable ramen. When I went to pick it up, the restaurant was much bigger than I expected. Full bar, lots of tables and chairs and the aroma was making my stomach grumble with anticipation. Staff were lovely, prices reasonable. Got home and it was like being back in Japan. The soup was separate and pouring it onto the ramen was delightful. The dumplings were perfect and yummy. I had the duck ramen and not only did I eat the whole thing, I drank what was left of the soup.. large portions and very delicious. I could go on and on!!! Go there! read more

Wow!!! We live nearby and I was like "let's try", I am so glad I did. First off when we got there parking is a bit funky, we parked in the upper lot an walked down. OK so we are in. The moment you walk in you can smell authenticity! We started with the pan fry dumplings which were delicious and served with a sauce unlike anything I had before. My bride opted for a pork noodle bowl.......loved it, I got the Dan Dan peanut noodle bowl. This dish had such depth in the flavor, it was not a quick sauce off. I noticed the sesame oil roasting of the peanuts in my dish, it just added that level of complexity and flavor. Prices are exceptional, two of us ate, 1 drink each, app and two dishes $60. I love Anju a ton also, but these flavor profiles are completely different. YOU need to go her and check this place out. read more

518 Noodle Bar - Noodlemania - Bars Near Me - Kittery, Maine

Been here a few times and I really enjoy the food. Super reasonably priced, especially considering the touristy prices at surrounding places. Service was very friendly. Will be back! read more

Was looking at Yelp for a place to eat and came across 518 Noodle. Reviews were good and we were in the mood for a light dinner so we decided to check it out. Reviews were right about it being a little hard to see unless you are actively looking for it. Pulled into the area, saw there were 2 parking spots in front so we grabbed one. Seated right away and served quickly. We all kind of knew what we wanted as we had checked the menu prior to getting there. Appetizers were wuick and good. Ramen was tasty. If zi had one criticism it would be there was a lot of vegetables in the ramen. But it all paired well. read more

we were heading home from Ogonquit on our way to MA and needed a dinner place. It did not disappoint! I had the lettuce wraps and the scallion pancakes. Scallion pancakes are one of my favs, and these may be in the top 5 ever! Lettuce wraps were very tasty too. My husband had ramen which he said was very good. It's a huge portion - enough for two. the place is extremely clean. Also, a huge floor to ceiling window, so lots of natural light. We went around 430 so it wasn't crowded. It's a small place, so I would guess they fill up fast. I wish I was closer, so I could go back! read more

Authentic dishes beautifully prepared! I tried three appetizers for my first visit and they were delicious. Two dumpling plates with their amazing dipping sauce and the scallion pancakes, which also got dipped. The restaurant is very tasteful and attractive. The staff is friendly, helpful and prompt. This is definitely not Americanized Chinese -- no egg foo young on the menu. 518 Noodle Bar doesn't overreach. A complete, but compact menu. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. read more

The food was amazing, soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, duck ramen and pork ramen . The dipping sauce was so good I literally drank it Super clean establishment very close to your beach.. why haven't you come yet? Honestly it's probably the best ramen joint. But try the dumplings they were amazing , and the price was also good. Can't wait to try the other dishes read more

This was great. A little out of our way but the menu is a nice fusion and the hot soups are quite good. I got ramen my wife got some beef dish she didn't like very much but I liked it. The lobster Rangoon were very good read more

The coconut Mojito had a fruit fly in it, the bloody Mary is not bloody Mary mix, it's just tomato juice. The ramen was good, dumplings were good. Fortune cookies were so stale that they had a rubber consistency. We won't be returning. read more

I'm very confused my our meal. I arrived as it was being bagged...the seaweed salad is frozen. The dumplings were kind of warm. And the beef ramen flavor was okay but the "fresh greens" were spinach?? And the bell peppers were 100% not cooked, raw. I've never had ramen like that ever. Very disappointed in all of this. read more

Have had take-out from here several times. The Hunan spare ribs are so good they are a must have for me. Often combine that with Vegetable Ramen which are good but I wish the broth had more 'depth' to it. read more

We were in Kittery, Maine to do some shopping and decided to stop by here for lunch. This place is still doing takeout only. I am not sure if they offer delivery. You need to call ahead of time to order. The waiter will bring the food to the parking lot when you arrive. We ordered the Xiaolongbao and Shrimp dumpling. There are four in each. They taste like something you can get from an Asian grocery store. We will try the noodles when they are fully open for business again. read more

I will be finding my way back to 518 Noodle Bar soon. The restaurant was noticeably clean from the moment walking in to using the facilities. The service was wonderful, our waitress was very pleasant and our food came out hot and in a timely manner. We started with panfried dumplings and the only thing we complained about was we only ordered one to share. We also ordered two different noodle dishes and both were delicious. read more

Amazing beef ramen, super flavorful. Wicked cute place, right off route 1. Perfect for any comfort food needs. Place was clean, quiet and comfortable. Totally worth a visit! read more

Extremely underrated place to get ramen. The broth itself was extremely flavorful yet not heavy or oily. The appetizers and dim sum were also amazing especially the peanut sauce wontons, shumai, and lobster Rangoon. Would highly recommend this location! read more

Quality Ramen. Clean, courteous, and delicious. Worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

Ive driven past this spot a million times. Route 1 is full of restaurants and shops, but this feels like one that is often overlooked. They greeted us and sat us at a booth, and promptly gave us ice waters. After reviewing the menu, we decided on the following: -Seafood Salad: not my normal go to, but my wife likes it and compared to previous tastings at other restaurants/supermarkets this was by far the best I've had. -Crab Rangoon: I'm a huge Rangoon fan and I can say after trying every place in the area, these are the standard for crab rangoons in at least a 30 mile radius. Phenomenal. -pork ramen: big flavor, and it gets tastier as you go. The half an egg is a beautiful touch. Very filling. The Scorpion Bowl is a rare outlier for this type of cocktail. Typically these types of beverage will be very acidic, but this was perfect. I'm as much a scorpion bowl enthusiast as I am a Rangoon enthusiast. Don't miss out on this bowl of flavourful drunken glory. Highly recommend this spot. The two women working there were most kind and service was excellent, read more

First time at thisWe went on a Sunday night and were seated right away. The location was a bit hard to find especially at night and because they didn't have a sign on the plaza sign yet. Overall the restaurant itself was cute and clean. The bathroom was clean too but no babychanging station. For appetizers had the soup dumplings (so good) and the pork bao buns ( they were ok, amount of meat was small for the price). Tried both of the ramen and it was very bland. Had to add a lot of soy sauce to it so that was disappointing. Overall service was good. read more

Great food- good service and good parking. The pho is probably the best in the area. Good ambiance

Wow, Wow, Wow! Total and complete disappointment, Bad. Oredring was very easy and staff was very helpful. Hunan Ribs are more Mexican than Asian, yuck. MIght try again, not 50% on that. read more

We went back and ate in for my birthday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The service was outstanding. The lobster spring rolls were amazing, of course the soup dumpling was still amazing. Everything we have tried was amazing. And of course you can't go wrong with their scorpion bowl! read more

I came across 518 Noodle Bar randomly while looking for take away lunch options. I ordered the soup dumplings and cha-shu ramen. Both were amazing! Some of the better soup dumplings I have ever had. The only criticism I would have is that I prefer the dough to be a little bit thinner bit it was so very flavorful that it didn't matter. The ramen noodles had great texture and the broth was so delicious. I am absolutely adding this to my must visit list on our next trip. read more

Went for an early dinner, no one else was eating there at the time. Staff was very nice and attentive. We ordered scallion pancakes, spicy peanut wontons, cashu pork ramen and spicy beef ramen -- all were delicious! Very fair prices for the quality and amount of food you get! read more

Yum! The soup dumplings and crab Rangoon, shu mai were delicious. Everything was homemade, service was quick and we ate all that we could fit. Would come back again if it were closer to me! read more

Now me living in a small town I'm always a bit suspicious of the new restaurant in town. I have to say there is absolutely no need to worry here. They have nailed the art of ramen. It's as if there's a little bit of Asia here in Maine. I can honestly say I will be returning here many more times. Also the cocktails are decent too. I had a rum and diet Coke and they actually put enough rum in it. Definitely a place worth visiting. read more

Was looking for lunch in Wells and York in a Sunday but lots of restaurants are not open for lunch. Happy to stumble upon this brand new restaurant that opened just last week. The menu offers appetizers, dim sum and noodle dishes. It's more of a fusion modern style than a traditional noodle place. Service and food were good. Glad to see a noodle place in York! read more

Outstanding vegetarian ramen and pan-friend dumplings. Everything made from scratch and with skillful craft. I could eat here every day. The take out dishes come piping hot, and are separated by broth and veggies, so you can enjoy the fresh dine-in experience from home. Absolutely grateful for this healthy option in Kittery. read more

Delicious food , excellent service and lovely people ...easy to park ... easy to enter in casual ware ... a very nice addition to seacoast dining read more

When we moved in close to 518, we figured we would give it a try considering it was so close. We LOVE this spot. The noodles are delicious. Vegetables ramen is my favorite. The tomato broth has the perfect amount of spice and the veggies are plentiful! My partner has tried many of the other including the pork, beef and shrimp. The service is fantastic and they are incredibly diligent with COVID precautions. Also, incredible value. Definitely recommend giving this a try! read more

We were driving by and noticed that this noodle bar was brand new. Decided to take a chance on stopping in. The server and chef I believe were co owners and provided fantastic service as well as an incredibly taster meal for a good price. Will definitely go back and soon. read more

We went here to check out the new spot and could not have been happier with what we had!!! We did dumplings and some buns. Oh so good!!! The cocktails were delicious too!! I promise to try to take photos next time, but it was sooo good, the food just disappeared as soon as it hit the table! Great service too, the ladies were very patient and answered all of our questions about the menu. I can't wait to go back!! Their noodles looked and smelled amazing!! Wonderful addition to the area read more

So glad I gave this place a try! It was exactly what I was needing. Yummy broth, decent size portion for price. I only gave 4 stars because the beef/duck was pretty tough to eat and the vegetables (bok choy for example) is just in huge chunks which was touch to eat. I'd have it again though and will post pictures. I'll probably cut my veggies. More variety and options would be nice too. read more

Drove to the address and place was not there. Was really excited to go here and I tried calling but no one ever picks up! This is quite a mystery. Where is this place? Could someone let me know how to find it? Went to the address and the place was under renovations. Looking at other reviews from recent I thought it was open. Help please really want to try the ramen and dim sum. read more

Ok, first start with two engaged owners committed to cooking like home, then add the best fall off the bone spare ribs I have ever had. Next add on well prepared cocktails, and Dan Dan and bejing noodle dishes that were awesome, So get your dog sleds and put on your snowshoes and come and support this new local business read more

We stopped tonight to try this new establishment and it was truly fantastic. We tried a variety of different items on the menu, but the star of the dinner was the pan fried dumplings and lobster rangoon. The owners are really striving for an authentic Chinese noodle bar experience, and I would say they have nailed it. Give it a shot if you love Asian cuisine and want to try something a little different. It also helps that the staff was very friendly and the prices are very reasonable! read more

Went for dinner last night. Delicious. Really enjoyed the dim sum, tried several different dishes, all very good but especially enjoyed the seafood Shu Mai. Next time will try the ramen. Open less than 2 weeks so still figuring out some service issues. But staff was super pleasant and food was authentic. Great restaurant addition to the area. read more

This place is legit. My wife and I have been saying how well a place like this would do in Kittery, so glad one opened. Xiaolong Bao dish something special. read more
