Lo Mein
Wael D.

Came here for lunch while I was at work. I ordered the fresh spring rolls and lo mein. The server that took my order was super nice and sweet. The place inside looks cool and the patio looked chill. The food wasn't bad, I feel like I ordered the wrong things though. The spring rolls were good but you can get better at your favorite Vietnamese place, and the lo mein was good but you can get better at your favorite Chinese spot. I'll definitely be back to try some of their pad Thai though.

Garlic Dish and Brussels Sprouts
Sydney M.

The inside was very pretty and super decorative. We went pretty late so I appreciated that they're open late! I got the panang which had chicken and snow peas. I thought it was good, just a smaller portion than other places. My friends enjoyed their food too! Only complaint-we spilled a water because the table didn't have a smooth top. Overall everything was good and I'll be back.

Pad See Ew
Mila F.

Ordered the pad see ew with pork belly. They definitely give you a lot of food and I had enough to take home for the next day which I appreciate it. Great portion sizes! We sat at the bar so service was very fast and helpful with helping us choose drinks. It's surprised me that the restaurant is speakeasy style at least on the night we went, which was Friday night. There was karaoke in the front and we walked to the back to get to the restaurant. That was a cool touch. It's a pretty cozy space, but can definitely handle a group of friends. Very casual low-key and cute space for a bite

Date night tonight! I was craving noodles, so we headed to My Noodle & Bar. We were immediately seated and our very friendly waitress came right over. We started with a bottle of wine and an order of crispy rolls, both of which were great. My boyfriend ordered the lo mein and I got a dish with the silver bean noodles, veggies & chicken. He did not think his dish had much flavor, and regretted not getting some heat. I thought my dish was excellent! I love the fish shaped dishes that the meals are served in! Overall fun date night.

Drunken Noodles and Brussels Sprouts!
Mia G.

Went here this weekend with a friend for dinner and drinks and it was amazing. Walking in the staff are so friendly and accommodating, you can tell they want their customers happy. We got the Drunken noodles to share and the brussel sprouts, the portions are big so it was enough for the two of us. the noodles were a little spicy but delicious and the brussel sprouts were a 10/10, I will definitely be getting them again. inside the restaurant is super cute there is low lighting and decorations to match. I would like to try different dishes and for sure will be going back.

Stopped in for a bite of Thai and Vietnamese. This spot can fill up quickly, so they prefer reservations. But even if you don't have one, they'll try to accommodate you.

Pad Poy Sian
Annie Y.

This used to be my go to spot but it was so off when we went this time. The people who asked for spice got none. The people who wanted mild received extra spice. Paid $7 for duck with my pad poy sian and only received 3 pieces of meat that was mostly skin and fat. Waited forever for our server to help us and we had to flag her down each time. The restaurant was also extremely hot that day and the ceiling fan was broken. I don't think I will be back again

Entrance
Alauna A.

I'm giving this place a 3 out of 5 because of the server. If he hadn't been a jerk, I wouldn't have had an issue. The food was delicious. I'd rate the taste an 8 out of 10, and the flavor, color, and presentation a 10 out of 10. For appetizers, we had the Thai Sun-Dried Beef and the Duck Roll. For our entrées, we ordered the Bangkok Chicken and the Spicy Lemon. Now for the backstory. Parking is street parking and it's very hard to find. My friend and I found a spot after about 10 minutes. The entrance to the restaurant is downstairs, so you have to walk down a few steps. I have an injured knee, so I was already annoyed knowing it would irritate it. While I was telling my friend "oh no" about the stairs, the server, who I didn't realize worked there at the time, said, "It's fine, it's exercise for you." I was immediately upset and responded that it had nothing to do with exercise but everything to do with my knee. He didn't say anything else and opened the door. He sat us right in front of the entrance and brought water shortly after. Because it was evening and freezing cold with people constantly coming in and out, my friend asked if we could move. He did move us, which was fine. It took about 10 minutes for him to come back to take our order, and the food took a while to come out. The service here is slow. I don't think I'll be returning. Being disrespected before even walking into the restaurant doesn't sit right with me.

Cocktails were amazing. We got the Thai 75 and it was refreshing and sweet. I got the pad Thai which had a great sauce. However, it looks like they used pho noodles instead of pad thai noodles and it was a little tough.

Went Saturday before the holiday hoping to experience the holiday speakeasy unfortunately it's only open after 5pm. So we didn't get that experience however, we were still able to order the holiday drinks. The restaurant reminds you of an old shop with a bunch of antiques. But the antiques were Christmas-y. We sat near the back and in this little tree hunt kind of thing. The waiter was kind and we had the crispy rolls and the drunken fried rice! Both were tasty, we even ordered more rolls to go. For our drinks we had the Kappa, Kau, and Mai Hero. The kau was a fan favorite. Parking is street parking we lucked up and found some right in front!

Phuket Noodle
Britney B.

Thanks to a friend's recommendation, we stopped here for a late-night dinner on our way home from a mini road trip. We found street parking without much trouble. The atmosphere: This place is an underground gem! It's adorable and was decorated beautifully for the holidays. There's both bar and table seating, and my friends and I were seated at an elevated, cubby-style table that was super cute. The food: We started with the fried calamari, which was light, crispy, and delicious. It paired perfectly with the sweet-and-sour sauce. The kao soi was the standout for me. It was super flavorful, with a generous portion of noodles. The chicken was tender, and the curry was rich and perfectly balanced with a nice kick of spice. The service: Great service overall. Our server was still in training, but she was genuinely kind and attentive the entire time.

Great food, kind staff, decent prices. We will be back! Everything tasted so authentic!

Steamed Dumplings (chicken) and Asian Taco
Lena M.

My Noodle & Bar has such a lovely outdoor space and cozy interior. I really love the vibe. While the service can be slow, the people who work here are super kind and that makes up for it. I think I've tended to order the wrong dishes and would be curious to try different things other than what I have ordered or tried from other people. I went for a date night with my fiancé this weekend and we were seated immediately. Do know to get to the host table you have to go down stairs. Normally I'd go for the noodle dish, but I decided to do appetizers as my main. I got the chicken steamed dumplings and Asian tacos. My fiancé got the wild mushroom tofu dish. This is not the restaurant's fault and doesn't affect my review, but do be warned that when we ate outside, a swarm of flies kept coming towards our food. In the past, I ordered the Khao soi, the noodles were different than what I was used to. I found the spicy to be nice and there, but a bit one dimensional. I felt the same about the Asian tacos. The tofu dish was a bit bland. As for the dumplings, they weren't for me. I think if I return I need to try more noodle dishes!

My date and I had never been here before and had the most amazing experience. The drinks? 10/10…read more.. the service 10/10... the ambiance? 20/10!! The patio outside was really cute and cozy, the various seating areas is really great because you get a different feel from different angles. Our server recommended a Mexican lager.. it was SO GOOD! Try the lager!! My only gripe, the downtempo music changed to club music around 12am and got much louder. My date and I had to raise our voices to continue our conversation, we wanted to take our drinks outside but were told the patio closes at 11 :( We got lucky as the crowd was really thin but most weekends our server said it gets packed.. it's such a small place, I can't imagine what it would be like with 100 people inside!!

Not sure what this place thinks they are but it's not a 2026 customer service award contestant…read more Open the door for an elderly couple to leave and was literally yelled at to close the door, like the hostess almost physically accosted me to close the door. Yes, it's hot outside but c'mon, will the entire clientale die within 30 seconds of heatstroke? Fine, no worries, let it pass, walk in just wanting to grab a quick drink at the bar, AGAIN, accosted by the hostess that DEMANDS that I go back to her command center to talk to her, whereupon she really happily informs me that I can't even stand at the bar to have a drink and she would reluctantly put me on the bar waiting list which would be a minimum of one and a half hours... to grab a drink at the bar. tldr; AVOID unless of course, you love being judged at a low rent tiki bar...

if you are going to read any of these dumb yelp review in full, this is the one…read more i once read an article describing the talent of the head chef's ability here to "cram so much bold flavor into a tiny dish". in general, i usually dread small plate restaurants expecting to pay a large bill and leave hungry. this was the exception. these were the most unique, creative, high end, flavorful, dishes i have ever had. seriously. the absolute best BITES of my ENTIRE life. i swear to god dormant tastebuds and flavors i didn't even know existed were provided here. the chef here draws spanish inspiration into each dish, and i was in there feeling like the food critic from ratatouille the way familiar flavors blended in effortlessly with extravagant flairs. and don't get me started on the presentation !!! everything was gorgeous. this restaurant was named #3 out of 100 in the city, and i honestly think it should be #1. i may be biased since my boyfriend works at a sister restaurant owned by the same guy, but this is definitely the favorite sibling for me. unreal how fresh, flavorful, and carefully crafted everything was. so so so so good. if you come to richmond, make this the top priority to visit. that being said, if you can't handle intense, innovative flavors, this isn't the place for you. also, go during happy hour

Hats off to the staff at Lillian who continue to be wonderful, but now that they have scrapped…read moretheir dollar oyster lunch specials, the food has absolutely nothing to offer. Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.

What a cool spot! We always seek out speakeasy venues and this one does not disappoint! My steak…read morewas prepared perfectly, the drinks were generous and timely, and the service was prompt!

The parking is a sh*t show around here. We walked here, so I can't fault them for that…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by an enthusiastic young man dedicated to his role. He asked for the password and we, unprepared, had to tell him a joke or an interesting fact. Luckily, my partner had one on hand. The atmosphere was lovely, very reminiscent of a 1920s speakeasy, or at least what you'd imagine it to be like. Our server came by within a few minutes of us being seated. She lacked enthusiasm, unlike the host, unfortunately. Her service turned out to be lackluster as well. We ordered the chicken pot pie and the filet mignon with asparagus. For drinks, the Grape Gatsby and Maine root beer. The food, like our server, lacked appeal. The saving grace was the host and the atmosphere. The view was lovely and the intimacy of the setting was a welcome experience. For dessert we ordered the bread pudding, and it was tasty, though nothing special. The burned odor that we smelled prior to its arrival turned out to be the bread. I can recommend Grandstaff and Stein as an experience, but you should not expect much in the way of culinary delights or exemplary service. We probably won't be back, but if you've never been, it's worth trying at least once.
