I will say they used spinach instead of bok choy for the vegetable but I was ok with that. The service is super fast, too.

We've been here in the past and knew more or less what to expect. There was no line when we went on…read morea Tuesday at 5pm. Ordering was easy and straightforward. It looked like they expanded their menu since the last time we ate here. We opted for a Shoyu Beef Ramen Soup and a Hot Pot Beef Noodle Soup. We grabbed our water cups and a carafe filled with iced water from their beverage fridge, and chose our table to sit at. We chose a location away from the front entrance, which faces west towards the sun. Our food was quickly brought out to us less than 5 minutes later, and our soups were very good. They have a very spicy broth for their Hot Pot Noodle Soup, which P2 really enjoyed. I was also happy with my shoyu ramen, which I thought was seasoned perfectly. The music here wasn't loud and it was easy to carry a conversation. The interior aesthetics of this place reminded me of a Japanese restaurant, despite this restaurant servicing Taiwanese fare. Unfortunately, they don't sell alcohol here. I would have loved to drink a beer here with its solid vibes. I took off a star because of the blinding sunlight that pours into the space. Each time we came, we had to be strategic on where we sat so that we or our friends didn't have to face the sun. But other than that, Noodly Alley continues to be a reliable choice for authentic Taiwanese food.

This is a rare Taiwanese food truck, so I was excited to give it a try…read more The food was fine overall, and they had a nice variety of choices. As for authenticity, I would say it's close enough. The flavors reminded me of Taiwanese food I grew up with, but I did find everything to be a bit on the bland and mild side. The price also felt a little high for what I got, but I still appreciate having a Taiwanese food option like this around. Overall, it was a decent experience, and I'm glad I tried it.

Why only three stars? I averaged down as follows:…read more This place gets five stars for the taste of its food, which was truly outstanding. Obviously, that's very important. I had a pork banh mi sandwich along with a vermicelli pork, bowl and an extra eggroll. Without question, the best Vietnamese food I have had in Waco and this place would situate itself very well in a bigger city, such as Austin, based on the taste of the food. Simply delicious! But, portion size in terms of the meat was inadequate. Incredibly small portion of meat on the vermicelli pork although the overall dish was filling, I did not buy noodles and some veggies, I bought a pork dish. Same was true of the bahn mi sandwich. Not enough meat. Unfortunately, I would have to say that I do not believe this place offers good value for the money I n Waco, particularly for the pork vermicelli bowl.

We had the #36 Pad Thai with beef (ordered medium heat) and the #64 Q Special (ordered mild heat). Portion sizes were huge, and both dishes were delicious. A quick heads-up on the spice: even as someone who likes spicy food, the Medium was actually pretty spicy! Next time I might scale back, whereas the Mild was absolutely perfect. The Crab Rangoons were a huge highlight--they stayed perfectly crispy even through delivery, which is rare. Everything tasted amazing and fresh. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the cost felt a little high, but given the quality and the leftovers we'll have, we will definitely be ordering again! Edit: we used DoorDash the first time and the price is must better when you call in your own order and pick it up! Great food and great service.

Love the convenience of this place…read more Easy location with plenty of parking. Inside is not large. There are some seats but definitely designed primarily for to-go orders.

Drink: I ordered a large peach green tea with boba, no ice,…read moreand it was fantastic. The tea was brewed beautifully , fresh, balanced, and not syrupy sweet like some other boba spots. The boba itself was perfectly chewy and just sweet enough to complement the drink, not overpower it. I also really appreciated that, even with no ice, they filled my cup completely to the top. Simple, thoughtful detail and it makes all the difference. Service: The staff here was genuinely kind and patient. I asked a few questions about sweetness levels and tea bases (I'm mindful about sugar intake), and they answered every one with care, no judgment, no pressure, no upselling. They made the drink exactly how I ordered it and didn't try to push other menu options on me. That respect and attentiveness go such a long way. Ambiance: Cha Community has such a warm, creative vibe, red brick walls, cozy coffeehouse energy, indie music, local art, and stickers that make the space feel personal and loved. The whole café smelled amazing, and you can tell they've put heart into the details. It's the kind of place that feels like a little pocket of calm and connection in the middle of the day. Overall: Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Waco. The experience was night and day, proof that quality, care, and consistency matter more than anything else. Refer to my Poppa Bear review if you want the comparison, but honestly, just come to Cha Community first.

i've been meaning to write this review for a while. this is legitimately the best ramen i've ever…read morehad in my life, and at a reasonable price. i generally get the hot spicy beef w/ ramen noodles, but have tried nearly every combination of meat, noodle, and even some of the non-noodle options such as the general tso's chicken. quick praise for the service, they're quite attentive and kind, always a pleasant experience dining here and love to see the family helping out within the restaurant. ramen: upon first impression, i was genuinely taken aback by how refreshing the broth was. i've tried ramen from many different cities and countries at this point and my general impression of ramen at sit-down establishments is that the broth tends to either skew towards being more umami, fatty, salty, or watery. typically, i wouldn't describe a standard broth as necessarily refreshing, rather satisfying, in a way that itches your typical ramen craving, but not one that leaves you feeling like you could drink this and feel rejuvenated on a hot day. this ramen's broth is refreshing. it's fresh, flavorful, not overly salty nor fatty, yet compliments the flavor of both the noodles, chili oil (optional), and toppings. when i'm away from college station, i genuinely crave this ramen, and from the texture of the noodle to the portion size, this is a 6 star ramen, a gem of college station, in my opinion. personally, i prefer the ramen noodle option over the rice noodle, but i have thoroughly enjoyed the variation of rice noodles with their seafood option. general tso's chicken: this once again is my favorite general tso's variation i've had from the many that i have tried as of yet. the chicken is crisp, flavorful, and the seasoning is very satisfying. as a pair with the fried rice, i would deduct a half point on account of wishing the chicken to rice ratio was more in favor of the chicken as the fried rice, while still excellent, is ever so slightly more peppery and soft than i prefer without the chicken to balance it out. this is a must-try in cstat. get the hot & spicy beef ramen or the chicken, put some chili oil on top of it. you won't regret it! quick note: the traditional crepe is quite expensive but i have heard a lot of praise for it from my chinese friends. eager to try that one day soon.

Came here for the first time with my family. We ordered what was recommended by the waitress and…read morethey were all delicious. We ordered the Spicy Beef Ramen Soup, Pork Chop Ramen Soup, Chicken Rice Noodle Stir-Fry, and the Beef Ramen Stir-Fry. We ordered Gyoza for appetizer and they were also crunchy and flavorful. We ordered Thai Tea, but it didn't taste good, like it was watered down. We originally got sent milk tea instead and we thought this was the grossest Thai Tea, but we found out later on that we were given milk tea instead lol. Either way, they both didn't taste good. Portions were all pretty decent for the price. The staff are friendly and fast. Small one way parking lot. Lots of tables to dine on.

This is definitely one of my favorite places in Austin for Asian food and soup dumplings…read more Definitely need to make a reservation because this place is small and always packed. When you arrive, everybody is so nice you give them your name and they get you seated right away. I ordered a drink called a signature tingling Daisy and it was so good. I definitely could've had so many but I was driving so you gotta pace yourself. We started off with the soup dumplings, which are just phenomenal. It's a must when you go. Also, for appetizers, we got the spicy cucumbers which were divine and a hot and sour soup, which was perfectly balanced and not watery. We also got a beef fried rice and let me tell you that rice is so soft and delicious. You literally dream about it the next day. I also got the pecking duck which is delicious there the skin is nice and crispy and the meat on it taste so good. We also got the Kung pow shrimp with cashews, which was delicious and the pieces of shrimp were gigantic. We also got the green beans which is were delicious. I love ordering green beans when they're cooked just like the ones I posted in the photo. Then for dessert, we got the chocolate mousse which is that little dog cake. I know it's so cute and they made it a little hard to eat because you feel bad in a weird sense. It was delicious now I will say when cutting it and realizing the inside had a raspberry filling, made it a little more crazy cause it looked like blood, but it was still so good. This place is definitely an awesome staple and a must visit when you're in town or just always go and have food there whether it's date night or friends catching up or anything in general even on your own.
