    We have ended this restaurant several times and we are loyal customers. It's been a year since our last review and still they are going strong. Their curries are amazing and their tofu is extra delicious. We always get the Inari rolls and the fried tofu special roll. We are vegetarian, so Thai food is a win for us. If you try this place, you will not be disappointed. The inside decor is awesome on the way to the bathroom. Enjoy!

    So we usually love this place however our carry out yesterday not so much. We ordered a Tom Yum soup with extra shrimp ($3) and all that was added was the very small salad type shrimp and only 4 in each order of soup. Also the shrimp was very hard. Our sushi that we ordered salmon roll the rice was actually crunchy. Not like it should be. And last we ordered 2 veg rolls. The reason for veg rolls was because they were out of shrimp rolls. This all was over $33. It certainly was a disappointment. Maybe it was just a different chef? This makes me skeptical to go there again. I hope they can get back to being great again.

    What a cute mom and pop shop. When you go into the bathroom, you open the door to the hallway, and it is very floral and whimsical. The food itself was very comfort food. My husband got food coma after eating . I love their pad thai, best one I ate so far especially in Michigan. We got a fish curry and that was well excuted . Everything else was good but those 2 dishes sticked out me . We will be back for sure.

    There are a few Thai places around the chesterfield/new Baltimore area; I wanna try them all so I have my go to for carry out. I'm glad I tried this place. I got some fresh sashimi rolls; eel, yellowtail and salmon. They were really good! The eel in particular is something I'll be trying again. I love Tom yum soup, and this one was really good. I wish there was just a tiny bit less sweetness. Other than that, it's something worth trying for sure. The main course was drunken noodles with chicken. It was cooked perfectly. I usually always go with pad Thai but decided against it. I'm glad I did. I hope to dine in next time so I can try some more sushi here!

    It really is just a carry out place. But it has nice decor. Where you can.take pictures while.waiting for your order :) We ordered some sushi and spicy udon noodles. Sushi was good despite being a thai restaurant. Will try to order thai food next time.

    Yum! Love their noodles and sushi. Pictured is the Las Vegas roll, one of my favorites.

    Doordash delivery took quite a while. About an hour to get to me. The wait time is the only issue but other than that, the beef salad was superb. I didn't really try the other food because I ordered it for someone else but I would definitely recommend their beef salad. I'll continue to keep trying this place.

    Pad Thai

    Ordered for delivery. It was fast and hot. Pad Thai with chicken is good and a big portion. The potstickers had good flavor. The end were a little crunchy--I prefer them steamed a bit softer. Overall would recommend.

    Service was great, the restaurant only has a couple tables, so be aware limited seating. I ordered a pineapple fried rice with pork that our waitress recommended. It was excellent and medium heat was perfect. Also had sushi combination platters B & C. Both were excellent with great flavor and lots of variety. Would definitely recommend this place.

Their sign is easy to see as you drive by, but my friend did give me a heads up that their door was not obvious. You need to walk through a fence and then open a non deacript door. The artwork outside is awesome! When we walked in we received a friendly greeting and were quickly shown to our seats. We had made a reservation ahead of time and there was no delay to seat us upon our arrival. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders right away. I appreciated that they had multiple non alcoholic drinks and at a fair price. I started with the Thai Iced tea which was delicious, but I would have loved a glass 2x the size! We ordered multiple dishes to share amongst us. I did ask the server how many dishes they recommended that we order as I wasn't sure of the size. The items are brought out as they are made, so we had food being dropped off to is at random intervals. The only slight issue we experienced was when someone else tried to bring a plate of squid to our table. We let them know that we had not ordered it. They then went and talked to our server, who brought the squid back to our table. We also let them know that we had not ordered that dish. Our server did bring back our order slip and looked it over, and I believe at that point they realized that we really had not ordered that dish and just weren't rejecting it. I am not sure if it had been written wrong, communicated to the kitchen wrong, or what but we did have to state multiple times that we had not ordered it. The rest of our dishes arrived correctly. The crispy chive cakes were great, and the sticky spare ribs were AMAZING. The caramel glaze on the outside of the ribs was so good, and they were tender as well. The outside was super crispy. I would absolutely ordered these again. I would say that both of those dishes were only for 2 people. The sticky rice and jasmine rice were as to be expected, and I personally felt that the papaya salad was not as good as others I have had. The chilli noodles had an amazing broth and I would also recommend. Overall, I did enjoy our dinner but I am not sure that I would go out of my way to return. I am rounding up to 4 stars based on the sticly ribs alone, otherwise a 3.5 would be more fair. I have been hearing about Takoi for years, so maybe my epxections were too high but I was expecting a bit more.

Most recently i placed an order for a 12:00pm pick up and when i came at 12:05pm not only was it not ready but they never even started it! The employee said it will be a few minutes. Several other customers were waiting and no one was bringing out their orders as well. Food from the kitchen was only brought out to customers who were dinning in. I never received my order until 12:45pm. I would come here more often but due to the long waits I probably won't be coming back unless I choose to dine in and i'm not pressed for time. The food however is delicious with lots of gluten free options. You can choose from 3 sizes of bowls: Junior, regular, and large. The base can be white or brown rice and for an up-charge noodles or all veggies. Protein options are chicken, steak, salmon or tofu. The Spicy tofu which indeed was VERY spicy!! The tofu was perfected fried and coated with just the right amount of sauce. I loved how fluffy and sticky the rice was but i wish there were more veggies. I only received one slice of zucchini, no carrots...only broccoli and cabbage. Food gets 4,5 stars but service gets 2/2.5 because of the extremely long waits. Defeats the purpose of doing an online order for a fast and easy pickup.

We had reservations and when we walked in it was quite empty but it is a very inviting environment, the music was soft and smooth and the people were nice. The menu is small but it does have some interesting menu items. It was very quiet inside, kind of awkwardly quiet and we sat next to people but the tables are quite close together, we could literally hear everything they were saying and they could hear us and we were talking in whispers. For a cocktail, I ordered the Enamorah Old Fashioned, if you are a bourbon lover then you will love this, it is a Woodford Reserve with the cherry cask taste, it was amazing! Definitely worth it. Then I ordered the Short Rib Bao Buns and Teriyaki Bourbon Chicken (got to keep the bourbon flowing). Now before I mention the food I have to say first that it isn't too often, maybe literally once every couple years that food shocks me because I have eaten every food type you can think of so there isn't too much that can intrigue me to want to try it, ok so now let's carry on with the review. So the Short Rib Bao Buns were nothing short of perfection. The pineapples gave it a phenomenal tropical taste and the bun itself was soft, chewy and buttery, the rib meat was tender, flavorful and easy to chew. I can't describe the taste you just have to try it yourself. Now let's get to this Teriyaki Bourbon Chicken. Mannnnnn, let me tell ya, there isn't foods that give me goosebumps much but this did it. It came with Collard Greens, the chicken and Mashed Potatoes and then had a an extra dribble of teriyaki sauce to mix with it. The Chicken & the Collard Greens went well together, the mashed potatoes & the Chicken went well together, the mashed potatoes & the collard greens went well together, I mean everything was top tier as you could want it. Now they do have gratuity already added but it is definitely worth the meal. This is a place you have to come and try and then wonder what you're gonna have next time when you come because it is THAT good. If I could give this 7 stars I would.

Both apps were enjoyable, but the steam buns could've used more pork. For our entrees, we ordered the almond boneless dunkers and the pork katsu. Both entrees came with rice, which had above average flavor and texture. The katsu was delicious, and is hands down the best dish I've had here. The dunkers were pretty sizable compared to other restaurants' ABC, but the gravy it came with had an unpleasant, metallic taste. Overall, New Age Noodles is a good restaurant. I will say, I would like to see some of the specials become permanent menu items.

Our friends got the Shoyu ramen with pork belly, and the Corned Beef ramen. The Shoyu dish seemed to be more enjoyable. Though we stuck with water, cans of Faygo pop seemed to be the drink offerings - other than alcoholic beverages. Areas for improvement include the waiting. Johnny Noodle King is a small place, with a main dining area and then what seems to be a bar area attached. We initially waited by the door for our table along with another small group (we were a party of four). We were then asked to go to the bar area to wait so that it would clear the door, but found it interesting how we were asked to move but not the other group. Also, we were standing away from the doormat we were not obstructing anyone's movements. The wait was long, and we asked if we could order food to the bar area (as opposed to waiting for a table). We were told 'no', yet there was a table full of patrons who were eating. There was no notification system, so our friend had to keep going to the front to see if our table was ready. Don't get me wrong; 'hooray' to Johnny Noodle King for having such great business volume. However, they need a way to manage it so that people will not be put off. Once we were seated, we did have good service from our waitstaff, and the food was very good. My husband and I plan to return to explore more of the menu. Hopefully, we can pick a time of day when waiting won't be such a big issue.
