    Island Noodles with Teriyaki Chicken
    Lauren F.

    So. Good. I tried these at the Columbus Food Truck Festival and they were great! The line was crazy long, but moved fast so don't be deceived by the long lines. They were only offering the Island Noodles with ($10) or without chicken($9), so I got the Island Noodles with Teriyaki Chicken and the chicken was very flavorful. The noodles had a great garlic and soy sauce flavor and there was also broccoli, snap peas, squash, spinach, carrots, and sliced mushrooms mixed in with the noodles. I have never heard of or seen this food truck before, but I hope I run into them again in the future. 100% worth the wait!

    Great noods! This place has been on my bucket list for years. I just haven't been able to catch them. They aren't at any particular location despite the address being listed on here. You can find them set up at many of the festivals during summer. It truly sucks because COVID-19 has canceled them all. Luckily they are still popping up at some of the local breweries. Best way to find them is through their Facebook page. It's so fun to watch them make the noodles. They throw everything in a huge wok and then flame it up. Pro tip: all they serve is noodles. You can get them with or without chicken. It's great either way. Definitely check it out if you haven't already.

    I like yet another food truck since finding out about Island Noodles. It has a limited menu focusing on noodles of course. The influences seem to be Asian, Caribbean, and whatever. It has a lot for a portion so be hungry. The service is much faster than at many other food trucks in Columbus probably because of the limited menu. I had something from the truck when it was at Comfest. It had a choice of noodles with meat or as vegetables only. The container was filled with large Soba noodles and lots of fresh looking vegetables. It was $8 for the big container. This was a pretty good value. It wasn't so bad like some of the other vendors there waiting in line. They were in part of the less crowded area so it was pretty fast to get something there for once. It's also popular at the Columbus Food Truck Festival. The lines there are ridiculous. It was one of the most popular trucks there so it was always busy. They still managed to keep the line moving. It made it one of the more enjoyable trucks at the festival. They were our favorites there. I would say to visit Island Noodles if they're around. It's much better food and service for not too much. The staff was very fast and friendly.

    Island Noodles was a vendor set up at Bunbury. I was so excited to see noodles! They only had one variation, chicken teriyaki. I would have given 5 stars but there were whole uncooked baby carrots and some extra large veggie pieces in my noodle batch. Completely messed up the vibe. Otherwise these noodles are on point. They are a bit thin like angel hair pasta but good nonetheless. The bok choy, zucchini, and broccoli were cooked perfectly. I'd like to have seen smaller pieces of red pepper, it was still uncooked and would have been nice to have it smaller so it would have been cooked and the flavors mesh with the other ingredients better. The chicken was moist and just fell apart. The dish wasn't overly sauced either. Really a great combination minus the large chunk carrots. Those need to be cut in thirds at the very least. My husband grabbed one and filled his with sriracha. I wish I'd seen it on the table, definitely jelly. I loooooove spicy food!

    Veggie noodles. This is like a box of holding. A LOT of good food packed in there.

    I heard rave reviews about this stand during Gen Con, that the lines were long but moved fast, and the food was delicious and cheap. This was totally accurate. The take-out container looks small but packs in a lot of food. I bought the veggie noodles for $8 (the other option, teriyaki chicken, was just a buck more). The description says they include 21 vegetables, and wow, it is a great variety. I didn't expect things like sweet potato in there, and it worked so well! The veggies were huge, too.

    Enjoyed this at the NC State Fair. Delicious.

It wasn't bad but I think I've had better ramen at other places in Columbus. My husband ordered the "spicy beef ramen" and that wasn't spicy either.

I opted for delivery and was looking for a quick soup. Another helpers picture caught my attention and they offered free delivery on dash. Food arrived really fast, piping hot, and was absolutely delicious. I had the Dapanji stirred noodles which was silky and smooth and packed with flavor. The chicken was chunks of thigh meat on the bone and had bell peppers and potatoes. Sounds simple but MAN! Delish! It also had fresh noodles in a separate container. I also ordered hot n sour just in case I didn't like it, and I tasted it but couldn't put the Dapanji down. Hot n sour was also fantastic (leftovers for lunch tomorrow!). The eggroll was so so fresh and crispy. Not oily at all and the texture of the meat (white meat chicken) and veggies was PERFECT! This was probably the best door dash meal I have ever had. I must try eating in the restaurant soon! Side note, they also packed everything in the cutest containers and included utensils (spoon, chopsticks, toothpick)

The dining room is comfortable and medium sized and I've never had trouble finding a seat, though I do hear that sometimes business is bumping.

The stone pot does cool down pretty quickly so you should definitely add the meats first but I like the variety of the toppings and how it is very customizable. You can also get the broth spicy, like I did, and add chili oil for more of a kick. The noodles are slightly thin and chewy, and the portion is big. What makes this dish even more special is after a friend told me about the Chinese folktale that explains the origins of the Yunnan crossing noodle soup. It was supposedly created by a wife of a scholar who began to prepare the soup and ingredients separately and crossed a bridge every day to bring it to her husband (who was so engrossed in his studies that his food would get cold) so he could eat his noodles fresh and hot. This tale made me appreciate the noodle soup even more They have lots of appetizers too and I especially liked the fried salt and pepper chicken!

The restaurant is warm, inviting, and cozy. We got the Classic broth and the Mala broth, as well as a Scallion Pancake. The broths were yummy, made well and flavorful but the Mala wasn't spicy. There is chili oil and vinegar on each table to help season your food. The toppings came out in little dishes and they were good and it's a good idea for customizing what you want or don't want. The broth comes out boiling hot and then you add your toppings and noodles. Each noodle dish comes with an abundance of noodles and a good amount of each toppings. I thought the beef and shrimp were both good proteins for our broths. The scallion pancake was okay. I felt like it wasn't as crispy as it should have been and it is one piece cut into 4. The scallion pancake was not very flavorful but it was good to try. Each bowl was around $15 dollars but they have some that are a bit more expensive. They also offer rice bowls and ramen! You can also purchase additional toppings Staff was very nice and accommodating but we didn't have much interaction. I recommend this place for some yummy noodles, a date, family outing, a good meal, or small groups!

Seriously those wontons are one of the best things in the whole city. They're SO good I could eat a few orders of those alone and be happy. Egg rolls are nice, but just a simple egg roll. Nicely crispy and tasty with the spicy mustard. The Sichuan sliced beef was the perfect thing for a chilly rainy dinner. We love spicy so I'm a bad judge of heat level, but this is spicy but a numbing spicy. Lovely spooned over steamed rice. The cabbage and bean sprouts were my favorite bits in this dish because they added a crunch. Might ask for extra next time!
