Food was great I got the hottest noodles on the menu. They are great. Don't be afraid they are not too spicy. Great portions great staff great flavor read more

I only realised later that I was charged VAT to Eat-in. I was never even asked if I wanted to eat in, as I went to take away. The man just charged eat in without asking me. I also had to request a bag. But the more pressing concern is, one staff member who wore a hair net (the other staff who cooked did NOT wear a hair net), cleaned a Wok with the water from the bottom that was dirty and had food debris swimming in it. Despite there being a running water tap, she did NOT use fresh water but the dirty water below the Woks, next to the fire. Unfortunately I didn't observe the man who cooked my food (and no hair net), if he also cleaned the Wok with the dirty water. I understand that the pans are piping hot, but it's unacceptable to have Woks "cleaned" with used, dirty water where food debris is swimming in. If the staff do that in front of customers, how badly are they handling hygiene issues where customers cannot see. Also, the sauce bottles were sticky. They had enough staff to clean, wipe down bottles and tables / to do better with hygiene. 2 were standing outside handing out leaflets for the Noodle Bar, and 3 staff inside. Do they really need 2 people handing out leaflets in a non-busy area while items can be cleaned inside? It was my last time at Neds Noodle bar, Hygiene in a food place is the #1 importance, without it, they lose business. read more

Great gluten free options. Service was fast and efficient. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Will return on our next visit to London

Food took a while, but it didn't bother us that much. Service was good. We got it in boxes so we took it home which was nice. Good vibe at the restaurant but not a very clean vibe read more

Neds Noodle Bar - The box with the food - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

Came across this place as we were on our way to The London Eye. We were hungry and wanted something quick and easy to eat. This a build your own noodle bar...similar concepts exists where I'm from--build your own poke bowl, mediterranean bowl, pizza, etc. This is not a unique concept, but perhaps it is in London. So you pick your carb, noodles (egg, rice or udon) or rice, then pick your sauce--mild or spicy (the menu indicates whether it's mild or spicy) and finally then pick your protein (meat or tofu). Finally, you can pick your size--it defaults to "regular" size, so if you don't have a big appetite you can get a kid size (which is smaller, not to be confused with a kid's meal) or if you're extra hungry or the large size. We ordered a beef sweet and sour rice box, chicken noodles with Malaysian spice and chicken with Singaporean spice, the latter two indicates hot, but I thought the spice level was equal to mildly spicy. Both noodle dishes were heavy on the veg, but the chicken pieces were large. The noodles were supposedly egg noodles, but it didn't look like egg noodles. The overall taste was okay, but it's definitely something I wouldn't go out of my way for. If you work in the area and need something quick, this place will satisfy your hunger. read more

The best! Come here to London twice a week from USA head straight to Ned's best noodles around!!

Rocky is a pro, preparing multiple dishes at once with skill and flare. Always a tasty stop when we arrive in London, late night. Don't miss this stop' read more

Around the corner from our hotel. We wanted a simple no fuss meal our first night in town. This was the perfect stop. The concept is basic enough. You pick the type of noodle, the type of protein, the sauce and the size. They have beer and wine. Everything comes in a paper box and they have plenty of tables outside or you can take on the go. If looking for something fast and simple and in this area then I recommend. read more

Got the Laksa but it's no where near the taste nor came with the right ingredients. It was merely some curry broth with broad kuay teow rice noodles, two small shrimps and unclear on what vegetables were present. The portions were skimpy so definitely don't see the value for money. Staff were nice and place was clean so that was good. Owner should consider improving the food quality. read more

This stop win the spin the bottle contest when deciding on lunch. Food was plentiful, but could use a little zhushing when it comes to flavor. My mom and husband ordered the rice with Spicy thai sauce. The both thought it to be too salty and requested more rice to balance out the flavors. I ordered the Udon noodles with Chinese BBQ sauce with beef. The beef wasn't beefy enough for me...the texture seemed off. The udon noodles were spot on with chewiness and texture. I only ate half of the portion...there was a ton. Definitely could share. My toddler absolutely loved. read more

Neds Noodle Bar - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

A must try while by the London eye. Simple menu, great tasting Thai Sauce but not to hot. Chicken Gzoya starter is very tasty. Walked in to a very long line that took no time to get through and order. Food came out as quick as the line moved. Perfectly cooked. I did rice, Thai sauce and chicken, hit the spot. Next time I am going for the egg noodles. read more

Neds Noodle Bar - Neds Noodle Bar - best Chinese take-away I have had in awhile. - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

When I need big food, I head to Neds. They serve scrummy freshly made stir fries in those wonderful American style boxes. Choose a stir fry and have it with either udon, egg or rice (gluten free) noodles. I usually go for the Malaysian beef which has bean sprouts, red and green chillies, lime and coriander amongst other ingredients. It's saucy and quite rich. When I'm feeling a bit "vegeterianish", I go for the Thai vegetable green curry with tofu. It has chilli but is not too hot. The prices are good for the quantity of food. There is also a selection of soup noodle dishes, salads and starters. Service is quick and friendly. Neds also donates some of their profits to a charity called Mencare, which I think is really nice. read more

Neds Noodle Bar - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

Under impressed. The food was not as flavorful as expected. I had the Level 3 spice and it was a nice flavor but anything below Level 3 didn't have matching flavor. The service was super fast and the employees extremely nice hence the 3rd star. read more

Ned's Noodles is amazing. It's one of those slightly off the beaten track places that makes you look really cool as you stride past Wagamama's and all the other chains on South Bank, duck down a side street and come back minutes later with a steaming carton of delicious noodles that looks straight out of an episode of Friends. I'm not sure what about that is cool, maybe you had to be there when I did that, to see how cool it really was. Anyway, my favourites are the chicken and prawns, the veggie green curry and the duck and oyster. You get a massive portion for around £5/£6 depending on what you order and you select the type of noodle you prefer. They also do other stuff like salads for people who don't quite get it. The staff are friendly but always seem really harassed even if it's dead. This is a great place to grab a bite and you can eat in or take your noodles for a romantic stroll along the stinky river Thames. read more

Neds Noodle Bar - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

I love the idea of Ned's Noodle bar - nice big portions of noodles packaged neatly in a box. I've been in here quite a few times now but I've never really thought much of Ned's Noodle Bar. The noodles are OK but nothing great. There are lots of options for meat eaters and veggies but this place is really like a mini-Wagamama to go. Ned's Noodle Bar is fine for a quick bit but don't go out of your way to eat here - there are lots more interesting places on the Southbank. read more

It was one of those days where, after a busy and slightly depressing morning, I thought to myself 'time to have a treat for lunch.' And I was just in that mood for noodles, you know that mood that overcomes you (presumably it is dictated by your stomach), so after a quick wander I found this independent chain and went for it. Nice interior, little bit like a diner but they hadn't taken the theme all the way. Friendly staff, they didn't give you that bored look when you're staring at the menu - normally I hate those people that get to the front of a queue and then try and decide what to have. Fortunately today there was not queue so I didn't care as much! I had chinese bbq (if that exists, it tasted like teriyaki) chicken egg noodles - you can choose your protein, noodle type and sauce which is always nice. Possible to accompany it with some spring rolls etc but I though that would make me look too fat on my own - this is the point in the review where the readers should exclaim, 'You, fat, never!' Thanks in advance for that guys! £7.25 was expensive food the look of the place (fast food-esque) so I was expecting good noodles and was a bit disappointed. They were quite greasy and swimming in sauce. If it cost £5 I would be fine with that, but there were no better than Wasabi and 1.5x the price. Portion was less too. All in all, not worth it. If I'm fancying noodles again I will go a few metres further in the other direction and stick with Wasabi. read more

Neds Noodle Bar - Like the sign, feels retro - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

See all

LOVE the concept of this noodle bar. You pick your type of noodles, sauce, and meat (if any) and they give it to you in a cute to-go container. I think the concept is great and unique, but the food was only okay. I felt like my noodles were drowning in sauce. I like to taste the sauce obviously, but by the time I got to the bottom I couldn't really eat it anymore. They have free wi-fi though, which is nice when you're traveling! read more

We stopped by here because it was open late and it was cheap. Even though I chose a sauce base that was supposed to be spicy--it wasn't. And my food didn't taste like much at all. I had to use a lot of English sriracha (not nearly as spicy as the stuff in America) and soy sauce to make my food taste like anything at all. Service was nice and prompt but food was mediocre. Don't do it. read more

There are not many (if any) other Fresh made to order Noodles in a box places in London (except for the other branch of Neds in Westbourne grove). This is why I give it 4 stars! You order the type of noodles you want with whatever sauce/meat/seafood/veg combo off the menu, and your order is made up fresh in front of you. I am a fan because it's a much better healthier take away meal option than alot of the other junk that they sell around Southbank. My only gripe is the fact that they charge for every little extra (I think around £1 for extra chilli!). They should have free condiments for people to spice up their own, like in most good Asian eateries. Still recommend though! read more

Is this what London calls Chinese food? Horrible. I got the green curry rice noodles with vegetables. Nasty nasty nasty tasting. I was starving and could barely force myself to eat half. My husband got the Korean BBQ with beef which was edible but still not good. We are looking for a dessert place nearby to get the taste out of our mouths. It's such a cute place though and awesome idea, they just need a cook who knows Asian food and new recipes. read more

This place is just a pile of shit !!!!!! We went and got some food. It seemed like they used some old noodles. The preparation was Malaysian beef with udon. We realized mistakes do happen, so we went up to the counter to tell them about it and ask them to change it. The girl @ the counter decided she needed to give me cooking lessons in malaysian food. She went onto explain how malaysian food taste like that. She did not change it, inspite of repeated requests since the stuff was bad food. I realize in UK the concept of customer service is mute, but this is just unacceptable !!! read more

I've been here several times in the evening on the way from A to B in the vicinity of Waterloo / Southbank and found it by accident a while back and I'm a fan for several reasons: - I love Asian style noodles. - When I am hungry yet don't want to hang around too long, I want to eat quickly. - Good sized portions (can't stand measly portion sizes for fast food). - They serve the noodles in those 'chinese takeaway' boxes with the little wire carry handle and chopsticks (I like the kitsch factor yet completely practical so you can eat in or take away). - Made to order and steaming hot. - Choice of different types of noodle and different style combos (chicken, veg, fish, spicy, non spicy etc) - Soft drinks or beer, if you want. - You order and your food comes. Friendly staff,no BS or attitude. - The place won't rock your world in terms of your foodie experience here but it's perfectly good and it is what it is. Good value too. Check all of the above. All round a successful formula. read more

Perfect for a quick bite to eat. Great menu that made picking out what you want to eat easy. Solid portion size too. I wasn't quite able to finish mine and took plenty home. read more

I feel like noodle bars have been popping up all over the place in Europe. With that being said, I'd say this place is definitely average/below avrg compared to other places. The inside is not the cleanest, looks kinda old. It's also more expensive (but I guess it is London...). I ordered the noodles with yellow curry sauce, chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms. The quality is decent but I found that the sauce was not that flavorful. The presentation is also really messy. If there were other restaurants that were more appealing nearby, I probably wouldnt eat here again. Places like Wok to Walk have way nicer decor, cheaper price point, and better tasting food. read more

It's like Subway but with noodles. You choose the type of noodles, then the sauces, then the filling, and you get your perfect noodle meal in a little cute box (just a standard noodle pailor box - the take aways have a little handle too). The dishes are prepared quickly (10mins tops), served hot and perfect to go - so if you're having a business meeting around Westminster and you need to catch a quick lunch, this is a place to go. The quantity is good - perfect to fill one very hungry stomach, can be also a shared snack for two. Good for everyone - all ages should be happy. They are also halaal making it a bit easier for muslim londoners. read more

I was with my two sons, age 12 and 16, in London for summer vacation. None of us are picky eaters and we enjoy many types of food, especially Asian cuisines. Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian...we like them all. My boys are at that age where they like to eat large portions of most anything in sight. We had just come from a morning tour of the Tower of London to ride the London Eye and we had not had breakfast. We were starving! Arriving about an hour early, we decided to grab a bite at Ned's Noodle Bar before taking the ride up for a fantastic view of London. Ned's offers three type of noodles and an assortment of meats. Each of us ordered a different noodle and a different meat item so that we could try a nice variety of things. Unfortunately, all three dishes were a BIG disappointment. The noodles did not taste fresh, the meat portions were tiny, and the flavor was just not good. Despite being very hungry, neither of my sons ate half of a very average size portion of food. We all agreed, Ned's Noodle Bar deserves a 1 star rating...at best! I would not waste your time or money at this place. read more

Stopped at Ned's late in the evening last week and was pleasantly surprised. I picked my noodle, meat, and sauce and what I got was great. A take away box filled with hot tender noodles and beef with big flavor. The place is open late and next to County Hall so if you're in the area this place is defiantly worth stopping at. read more

Honestly, I almost didn't eat here due to the low stars. But I was traveling in London with my wife and four kids under 12 years old and my 4 year old wanted Noddles! Anyway, the meal was great. I had Tofu Singapore sauce. A ways through I said to my wife, This is actually really good. She agreed. It was great. Thank you, please visit this place. I recommend it. read more

If I could give a zero, it'd be a zero. $7.95 for a regular udon noodle with beef and I only get 1 piece of beef after I dug through the whole thing asking "I did prder beef right?" Unacceptable!!! Don't waste your time with this place, just walk a block down and get Subways, at least you see what they put in your food read more

Walking from Lambeth Walk over to the London Eye, the Neds Noodle Box logo immediately drew us in. Our last experience with Asian food during our vacation wasn't so successful; sushi in Ibiza Town in Ibiza, not good! They just took the vinegar part of sushi rice TOO FAR. So we decided to go to Neds since we were fiending for anything remotely Asian, something just like at home. While it wasn't that familiar taste we were looking for, Neds hit the spot. Though, a little too much sauce! It was decent tasting, portions were generous, it was convenient, quick and there were lots of menu options. In fact, Ned was at the register when we were there. Felt like a little cool take-out lunch joint you'd find in SOMA in San Francisco. Neat spot. read more

To get out of the bloody rain and to warm up our souls, we ordered 2 seafood laskas. Pretty good seafood soup in cocunut currry broth simillar to thom ga thai dish. My moms was cooked with different noodles as to mine, didnt care. I get the whole to go order box but soup being served in that was kinda annoying. Put it in a bowl please. Service was meh. Egg rolls sucked and lacked in flavor. Cost us about 17 pounds. read more

Neds Noodle Bar is cute little noodle shop in a super touristy part of London. And with all things touristy, the price is quite a bit higher than it really should be. For two waters and two noodle boxes, we paid about $35 USD. Everything was good, but $35 for some noodles? But if you're in this area and need a quick bite to eat, Neds won't let you down. read more

Neds Noodle Bar - Chinese Near Me - London, XGL

Long story short the food is gross. They use way too much starch in their sauces, makes me gag just thinking about it. We are so not eating fast Chinese ever again, no thanks. So, we ended up with the pretty menu handed to us on the street and after daily 70£ dinners we decided to go there for a less costly family of five meal one night. Somehow though we still ended up paying close to 60£ for the whole meal. I would say no matter what the sauce was, all the dishes tasted pretty much the same, some more fishy, but I've never seen such a gross chicken on rice that my 4 year old got - the chicken was literally in a glue like sauce, sticky and slimy. Yuk, he totally passed on that. Green curry was more like a starchy sauce with some curry taste. Vegetables - mostly carrots, canned corn, some overbooked cabbage. read more

We came here hungry, and the portions were well sized and there were clear gluten free options. I got the rice noodles with beef and yakisoba sauce. I felt that the sauce was off, and the vegetables had a strange after taste. Couldn't get through half the box. My husband enjoyed his green curry sauce much more. read more

Not accommodating, not willing to substitute, will not sale a side of sauce on the side. I can't tell you how the food taste because the service was so bad and I lost my appetite. I'm very bummed because how often does one really make it to London. I love trying new foods. read more
