I visited Le Shrimp Noodle Bar on a friend's recommendation and it was pretty good. I went with the Crispy Cod Noodles and gotta say the broth (apparently simmered for over 8 hours) was definitely very shrimp forward, as well as being thick and rich. The cod did come crispy, but make sure you eat it fast because this batter soaks up the broth and becomes soggy in no time. I also tried the Chilled Tofu, which I liked, and got myself an iced tea. I also ordered a side of Lava Eggs, although I did not like the sour soy sauce it was in. I didn't try any of the chicken stuff here, but my guess is the braised soy sauce chicken will be in a similar sauce. Very decent dinner overall.
Le Shrimp Noodle bar is a wonderful noodle shop in Chinatown! I believe it replaced the old SDG Korean restaurant. We visited after a Sox game and it was a delicious, cozy meal after a few having a few beers. We ordered the Crispy chicken noodle soup and it came out very quickly. Not to mention the staff was kind and the overall restaurant was very clean. This is one of those places that just hits the spot and noodles were so fresh! I would 1000% come back to try their other broths. If you're looking for a soup place don't skip out on Le Shrimp!
Such an underrated spot in Chinatown. Tucked around the corner in the less busy area, but really really solid soup. I love a shrimp bake soup and now I don't think I could go back!! not overly salty, and they also have traditional Laska, which is Singaporean dish! Nicer casual spot as well
Got the shrimp trio - the combo brings together a discount on a drink and appetizer - relatively simple ones but not bad. (braised bean curd and iced green tea). The shrimp broth is the thing to have here...stands out in comparison to the chicken one (still solid though). Got the dumplings to add to the table since there was only one in the trio to share. It was a group of four of us...we wouldn't have complained with two trios at the table. Wide noodles give it a bit more chew - our pref after trying both. Service is team based and attentive - small restaurant with a lot of wood and tile - so it gets loud and strangely in waves as tables roll in and out.
4.5 stars. This is very authentic Singaporean hawker street cuisine. The soup base is from shrimp. It has good shrimp taste. We got braise chicken bun. This dish can skip. We also got spinach with vegan oysters sauce. This is a good dish. I like the light sauce boil spinach. We also got the signature shrimp trio noodles. This a signature noodle in hawker street. We also got Hainanese chicken. I highly recommend this dish. Service is good. Food is good.
Had a short trip in Chicago and wanted to eat at least once in Chinatown. Glad we choose this restaurant. Love the shrimp broth soup dish (A1). Broth was delicious. If you love shrimp, then must try this. The hainanese chicken is delicious- it's on of few dishes off the menu. The chicken is moist and the sauces were delicious. My son demolished the braised scallion soy chicken dry noodle. Service is great and helpful. Food came out pretty quickly. Restaurant is clean. Bathroom is clean as well. Can't wait to come back.
We had a great experience at Le Shrimp Noodle Bar! They've been open since December 2025 and are in a fantastic location. Service was quick, and the staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming. We also loved the playful shrimp-on-waves artwork throughout the space, which added a fun touch to the atmosphere. I ordered the A6 combo, and my husband chose the limited edition special combo. Both soups were packed with flavor. I especially enjoyed my rich, savory broth paired with the wide noodles, and my husband really enjoyed his broth as well. The overall flavor had a clean, pure umami depth that stood out. We'd definitely come back again!
This noodle soup spot is worth checking out if you are a true shrimp lover. However, if shrimp isn't your thing, I would think twice because the broth is very shrimp-y! The broth has a rich and pronounced shrimp flavor. I ordered the Spicy Prawn and Braised Scallion Soy Chicken Noodle Soup. The chicken was excellent! It was tender, well-cooked, and a great addition to the noodle soup. The noodles were al dente and the perfect width. However, I wish the broth was spicy but it was not. I was expecting more heat to complement the richness of the soup. The service was good. I was able to order right away. The food came quickly which I was thankful for because I hadn't eaten all day and it was already approaching evening. The menu prices are a bit on the pricier side but overall, I'm glad I tried it!
The photo doesn't really do them justice because I ordered to go through Doordash BUT it was some goooood noodles! I ordered the one with wontons cause I love them and they were scrumptious. This was my first time trying them and I'd love to order again.
OMG this "First 'Wok-Hei' Shrimp Broth Noodle In The U.S." place simply named "Le Shrimp Noodle Bar" is open, although the server told me the first was technically in LA (and this is the first in Chicago). They have amazing shrimp broth cooked from baking tiger prawns at 250 degrees, and you can choose noodles with cod, shrimp, chicken or beef. Also high quality sides like dumplings, veggies, chilled tofu/cucumber/braised bean curd, crispy vegetable spring rolls and more. Very cool internal atmosphere with plenty of tables & seats. This chain is also from Singapore, so they also have Hainanese Chicken Rice. Highly recommended if you are in Chicago's Chinatown!
I ordered the Signature Trio Shrimp Noodle - Prawn, ebiko prawn ball, prawn and chicken wonton. 8-hour shrimp broth, cabbage, green onion. Very happy with this new alternative to the ramen shops in Chinatown. The 8 hour shrimp broth broth was satisfying and packed with shrimp flavor. Noodles had good chew and prawns were perfectly cooked. No complaints. Service was good and plenty of seating for small to large groups.
Ambiance - modern, offers seating but not a lot of tables Service - there was only 1 host/server for the whole restaurant, noodles came out fairly quickly Food - broth was thick & salty (you can definitely taste the shrimp, more of a shrimp shell flavor), not a fan of the chicken wonton (was overall bland), would recommend wide noodle
We were seated with minimal wait on a Saturday at 12pm! Service was prompt and attentive. This restaurant is known for their shrimp broth, but they also have a select number of chicken and veggie based broths. I got the combo noodle which had two giant prawns, two shrimp meatballs, and a wonton. For noodles you can pick between thin and wide, but both of them are thin imo. Since it was a wintry day, I thought the noodle soup was perfect to warm me up. It was filling, and the chili oil on the side was delicious. The only negative is that it's a bit salty. Also, my friend asked for an ingredient on the side, and it came in the broth. They only have a select number of beverages (teas, sodas), but I was going to get boba afterwards anyway. Overall, I'm pleased that we have this new restaurant in Chinatown, and I would recommend it to people who enjoy shrimp.
Hella delicious. Pro-tip, ask for the soup to be extra hot if you like piping hot noodle soups. Flavor was amazing for both the shrimp broth noodle and laksa. FYI, the laksa is with rice noodles, which I felt were superior to the thin wheat noodles. I love the chewiness of it. The next I'm here, I'm going to ask if I can substitute the rice noodles to put in the shrimp broth noodles. read more

The noodles here were delicious and a reasonable price. If you like shrimp, the trio shrimp noodle is definitely for you. The shrimp flavor is definitely there. I enjoyed all the toppings. The chicken was great too, though the tea was whatever. I like that they explain how they do their food on the papers, and the inside feels kinda like a food stall. Lots of decoration. Service was good, not too much to mention. I would come again if I were in the area. read more

Absolutely delish and one of the best noodle bowls I've had in a while highly recommend if you want to try a unique noodle experience with a truly umami bomb broth! read more
Been here a few times now and very happy with this addition to Chinatown! Tl;dr fried items are really good here (e.g. chicken karaage, crispy cod items), and I found the shrimp broth to be more flavorful than the chicken one. Sometimes they're a bit understaffed so service may be a tad slow. ===== Food items I've tried: * crispy cod dry noodles - really good! Not a huge portion, especially since it's lacking soup, but very tasty and would get again * signature shrimp trio noodles - I found the shrimp broth to be a bit salty, but it had a strong shrimp flavor. This portion felt quite big. Out of all the toppings, I liked the wonton the most. The shrimp was fine, and the shrimp ball was ok. * crispy cod + chicken soup noodles - chicken broth felt like the shrimp broth but with half the flavor taken away. It was still ok, but with a direct comparison I definitely preferred the shrimp broth. They also put the crispy cod directly in the soup which made it soggy - next time I'd probably (be that person) and ask for it on the side. A few nits nits: the drink menu here is a little sad, but there's a literal army of boba shops all around; and the extra noodle portion size is small. The 'wide' noodles aren't that wide, though I haven't found anything wrong with the texture or size. A great thing in case you drive: they offer parking validation! Overall the food here is very solid and I'd happily try more of the menu and the intriguing rice bowls. The space is pretty big and can fit both large and small groups. Service can be slow due to only one server working during all the times I've been. More time to savor your noodles, I guess! read more
Best noodle bar in Chinatown. This place has recently opened and I can tell you this is gonna be a new hotspot. I love that they have shrimp broth. Finally, I can go to a place where there is not only pork broth for everything. They offer shrimp broth , chicken broth, and vegetable broth . The food is delicious. We tried different kinds of shrimp noodles and also try the dry noodle and each of them tasted really good. You can have it spicy or regular. I prefer the spicy version more. The food is freshly prepared and taste amazing the broth is super tasty. It's a nice and clean spot and the service is quick. I will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend . read more
Found out about this place through a valentines day promotion and decided to give it a try as it was a new place in chinatown Although the promotional period was for the whole week, I walked in on the day of expecting to need to wait but they surprisingly had seats for us (might need to share a table with others if seated in the middle). Its a schmedium sized place that was relatively clean with simplistic interior I got the classic signature trio shrimp, and it was pretty good! The shrimp flavor really comes through in the broth - it was on the lighter end, little savory with a seafood kick, pairs well with chili oil (what doesn't tho tbh). The custom made shrimp balls and dumplings were my fave parts of the dish, really adding a nice shrimpy cherry on top when eaten with the noods The promotion came with a free serving of chicken karaage which was done really well. Super juicy and crispy, no complaints. Overall, would def try this place again read more
This is a new Singapore-based restaurant. We were here on a Friday afternoon during their soft opening. It wasn't too busy, we got seated right away. When the staff brought us to the table, she forgot to grab the menu for us. It took a while for us to flag them down to hand us the menu. She came back and apologized. We ordered the Signature Trio Shrimp noodles and the Prawn and Chicken Wonton in Chili Oil. You can choose thin noodles or wide noodles. I picked the wide noodles. The broth was very rich and the noodles were chewy. The shrimp ball was very good and bouncy. The tiger shrimps were big. The wonton was good with a numbing kick to it since they used Szechuan peppercorn. The only thing is I think it was a little expensive. For four wontons, it was almost like $10. They also have rice bowls. People who don't like shrimp can order their chicken broth or vegetable broth. There are many choices to choose from. The place itself was clean with a big glass window to see the whole kitchen. It has plenty of tables. I would be back to try other items on their menu. read more
Located in Chicago's Chinese marketplace, Le Shrimp Noodle Bar, offers some amazing noodle dishes at affordable prices. We tried their lunch specials, the first dish had dry noodles and fish balls for $12.99, the second dish had rice noodles, served in a fish broth with shrimp for $13.99. We also ordered the vegetable spring rolls. The food was filling, tasty and not heavy on the stomach. It was a pleasant and satisfying lunch that didn't pinch the wallet. This area is worth checking out if you are visiting the Chicago area. Overall, we rate this place a 5 out 5 stars . read more
What a nice surprise when I found out they had a weekday special. The flavors of the soup were so rich and delicious! (Soo good that I forgot to take a picture until it was almost done) That chili oil was to die for! Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable. Although the area is small they are still able to accommodate larger parties. Definitely would go back to try to Laksa noodle! read more
Such a bizarre experience. A1 signature trio shrimp noodle - 4/5 stars Delicious, hearty broth. Noodles had a nice chew. Chicken kaarage - 5/5 stars Marinated and seasoned so so well. Probably one of the best chicken karaages I've had in a long time. The problem was the service and the timing of how everything came out. Our group of four ordered three orders of A1 and one order of A2. Two of the A1 bowls came out first. We're waiting... after 5 minutes, we followed up with the server and mentioned we're still waiting for two other bowls. She literally said "yeah?"..... another five minutes pass. It's been ten minutes now so we ask again. She says our bowl is next. After TWELVE minutes, the third A1 bowl comes out. The table next to us ordered after us, and yet their A2 bowl came out before our fourth person's A2 bowl came out. Please make it make sense. And the last bowl came SIXTEEN!!!! minutes after we got the first two bowls. In the Asian culture, it's polite/manners to wait for everyone to get their food to eat... we tried our best but you bet it ruined the meal. Server was super unapologetic, no simple acknowledgement or apologize. They offered 10% off but we literally would have rather her just been sympathetic. 0/5 for service. read more
Went here on Christmas Day since it was one of the few places in Chinatown without a line out the door (which should've been my first warning ). This is a new spot in the plaza area, so was excited to try it. I love seafood, and seafood based noodle broths ( and the advertising stated that they created the first shrimp based broth in the U.S......supposedly). Anyways, the inside is clean and the service is prompt and friendly. However the food is tragic; literally no flavor in the shrimp broth and has a weird chemical taste as well. I got the bowl with shrimp and soy chicken and it was quite possibly the worst chicken i've ever had in a restaurant ( very ODD taste). The best thing was the spring rolls (though they were defintely frozen and not handmade). Much better noodle/ ramen spots in the city and in Chinatown. Don't see this spot lasting long. read more
My family and I really enjoyed our visit to Le Noodle Bar. We each ordered something different, which made it fun to try a variety of dishes. My husband and son both had the broth bowl, and I ordered the dry noodles with spicy crispy chicken--everything was flavorful and absolutely delicious. The spring rolls and cucumber salad were fantastic standouts. Service was great, and even though this was a soft opening, everything came out in a timely manner and felt well-executed. We're excited to have this new addition to Chinatown and will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. The only small things I'd note are that I'm not sure if Wi-Fi is offered, and I forgot to check whether there's a restroom available--something I usually look for at restaurants like this. Overall, a great experience and a promising new spot. Looking forward to returning! read more

The broth had a heavy brine and shrimp flavor while having a thick creamy mouth feel. Im pretty sure they dont add cream but it can feel like they do. The protein items in the soup are flavorful and cooked well. Nothing felt over cooked or rubbery and had a good snap when you bit into them. read more

Kiki and Zoey had fantastic service and explained everything since the beginning of the meal. Zoey walked us through the entire menu. Kiki made sure to check up on us frequently. The tables were cleared quickly too. The food/shrimp soup base was delicious and served in a timely manner. The green tea had good flavor and perfect balance. read more
Great food and great energy. Came here Friday for lunch and we had the braised scallion soy chicken garlic rice and big prawn shrimp broth noodle. Both were excellent and were rich and flavorful, but the shrimp one was much more intense in a good way. Our servers, Kiki and Zoey, were very fun and engaging. The three weekday deals are awesome, too. read more

I stopped by for lunch this past week and ordered the signature trio shrimp noodle. The broth was flavorful, and the noodles tasted fairly fresh, but it's a bit pricey at $20 per bowl and I didn't think that the quality of the other ingredients justified the price. They also have a special lunch menu with a few different mains + beverage, so maybe I'll try one of those the next time. read more

Definitely recommend this place!! This spot is such a gem! My friend and I were craving noodles, and this place not only hit the spot but exceeded our expectations. We got the shrimp and chicken wonton noodle soup, and it was FANTASTIC!!! The broth was SOOOO flavorful, you can tell it was made with love. The noodles tasted fresh and the wontons were so full of meat and great flavor. We also added lava eggs to our bowl, which were delicious, but not necessary for the delightfulness of the dish. The bok choy was good, could've had a bit more sauce but it was a nice veggie to have on the side. The service was fast, although they messed up our order, the fixed it so quick that it didn't even matter. We were in and out in maybe an hour, the service was so fast! The ambiance is very casual and feels like a great neighborhood spot. Cozy and clean, probably not great for groups larger than 6. read more

Overall food was a 2.1/5. Server was kind and fast. But flavor was lacking. Soup lacked the "wok hey" and was a bit bland, and overall too rich for us. The chili oil was very good though and definitely helped to cut through the richness. Shrimp was plain boiled and lacked flavor, again the chilli oil helped. The shrimp balls and wonton reminded us of shumai. Chicken was flavorful but a bit dry. read more

First visit to this new Chinatown spot. Very bright and clean dining room. Greeted immediately upon arrival by friendly host. Waitress was knowledgeable and helpful. I got the A5 spicy. Noodles and broth with prawn - chicken wontons. Spice was medium and approachable and the broth overall was amazing. I had the thick cut noodles that held up well. Came with an order of karaage chicken and mustard sauce that was tasty and well cooked. Quick easy check out. The beverage selection was very limited. I'll be back. read more
