This place has amazing thai iced tea. I ordered two back to back. Couldn't finish the Pho cause I was so full off of Iced tea. Will come back for the tea. Great service. read more

Super convenient spot to pop into. Loved the variety of sauces, and the menu has more than enough to choose from. Easy Peasy read more

I love this place for takeout or casual dine-in. Service is always wonderful and food is delicious. I haven't had anything I didn't love. I definitely recommend the salt and paper calamari, it's some of the best I've ever had. In addition, the pho and banh mi is so good. The banh mi meat is so juicy and flavorful, and a great portion. I always leave so full and satisfied! Definitely try speaking limeade for a drink too read more

Ordered takeout. Summer rolls were mostly lettuce, and accompanying dipping sauce was too thick and gooey. Pho was decent but Bun Pork was very disappointing. I won't be a repeat customer. read more

The food was very fresh and tasty and the space was comfortable, with very attentive staff.

Nice service. Clean, casual place. Really bad food. Fresh rolls: if you like them having lettuce only inside (no basil/carrot/..., very few noodles), then this might be the place for you! Pad see ewd: strong egg flavor. No spices were felt. No Broccoli nor any other vegetable. Pho: no flavor. Had tomato and cucumber in it.. strange :) read more

Noodle Barn - Kao Soi noodles, Bahn Mi, Thai Iced Tea - Noodles Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Whenever my friends and I go here, we each order the same thing every time, because the food is consistently good! It doesn't really matter what you order - we've never had a bad meal. They're pretty quick with service as well. If you're looking for a sit down place in JP, this is a great option! read more

Went here with some friends and food was just okay. Only a few other patrons were here early Sunday night. I always am skeptical of a menu that covers a lot of different cuisines and this unfortunately proved me right. Some of us ordered thai dishes and I got to Bo Kho. I was honestly confused when my Bo Kho came out as it's typically a hearty beef stew with a tomato base. What came to me was a mild (bland) bowl of pho with some pieces of beef that honestly tasted a little sour? Maybe I should have stuck to thai as my friends enjoyed their dishes. I don't think I'd go back here but the service was fine and quick. There are so many other restaurants in the area. read more

Really liked the food. The service is wonderful. The one thing that I could recommend for improvement, in my opinion, is to totally change the music from rap/hip-hop/loud to soothing, soft, and graceful. That would make my eating experience so much more pleasant. Thank you very much. read more

Noodle Barn - Crispy Wonton with Chicken Very tasty!! - Noodles Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

This is our local spot for Thai - reasonably fresh and authentic, not overly fancy and reasonably priced.

I'm visiting from San Jose, CA, so my standards for Vietnamese food is extra high. After 3 days without Viet food, I'm dying for some fish sauce in my life. So far, Noodle Barn has been the most decent that I've Door Dashed in Boston. Bun Thit Nuong - meat was well seasoned and had a little char on it, and the veggies were cut super thin. The noodles were too thin, but at least they weren't dry, which makes it not edible. Also the eggroll the put in there gets soggy by the time it gets to the customer. If they cared about food quality, they would put the eggroll in a separate bag so it stays crispy, especially since you're paying $2. for it. The fish sauce was also super watered down and didn't have any chili garlic or anything in it. In California, this would be 2 stars, but for Boston, it's 4 stars. read more

When I'm walking around a restaurant dense area looking for a place to get food, I seek out 'what looks at me," and in this case, it was Noodle Barn. I didn't check Yelp before, which by some definitions, is as adventurous as I get. I ordered the Crab Rangoons, and the Red Curry dinner (with chicken). + Crab Rangoons: these were a mixed bag. On the positive side, they were crabby! Which is always a great find, as they are 'crab' rangoons and not 'cream cheese' rangoons! On the negative side, the dough was on the chewy and greasy side. I can understand and forgive a little greasiness for something that just came out of the fryer. However, I highly prefer the wonton wrappers to be crisp, especially when they just came out of the fryer. + Red Curry: On the positive side, the broth was delightful! Just a tiny bit sweet, a tiny bit spicy, and wicked savory! As for the remainder, it missed the mark for me. The chicken was nothing to write home about, however, it was the veggies that really made this dish subpar. Now, you ever watch 'Worst Cooks in America'? with Anne Burrell grilling one of the recruits for how they cut something: putting the smallest item in the largest item side-by-side? Well I think we need to get Anne Burrell into this kitchen for a little bit. Some of the veggies were in absolutely massive chunks, and other smaller. Mind you all you get is a spoon! Then we need to get Gordon Ramsay into this kitchen to yell at them about the veggies being, in Ramsay fashion "[expletive deleted] Raw!" But really, the veggies, especially the carrots, were very tough. They needed to spend a lot more time boiling. So pretty much, the curry was a pleasant broth, with okay chicken, combined with haphazardly chopped and severely undercooked vegetables. On the bright side I will say this: the location is clean, bright, and inviting, and the service was spectacular! Very nice, very quick, and very attentive! read more

Pleasantly surprised with their bhan mi sandwiches!! My girlfriend was craving bhan mi and this was one of the few restaurants have options for vegetarian bhan mi! We were so hungry and ordered crab rangoon, pho dac biet and veggie pho as well. My pork bhan mi was delicious, I think it's one of the best ones I've had in Boston. Crab rangoon and my gf's tofu bhan mi were good as well. Phos were alright, I wish broth was bit thicker but still decent. Takeout only took 20 minutes or so, pretty quick for decent amount of foods we've ordered. read more

Ordered the Pad Gra Pow Barn and the Crab Rangoon for delivery. This is the first crab rangoon ive had in a while that has more crab than cream cheese...you know like how it should be! The flavor of Pad Fra Pow was great, just the right amount of basil, only slightly sweet, good amount of red pepper and onion, and most importantly spicy. read more

Noodle Barn - Pad Thai Dinner - Noodles Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Food is delicious, staff is very friendly, we like the ambiance and my kid loves it there too.

We were hesitant based on the reviews, but because of the recommendation of our siblings, we went and were not disappointed. Noodle barn is fairly small, but we didn't wait to get to our table. We were immediately greeted, seated, and got our drink order in right away. The servers were very attentive and they refilled my water about 4 or 5 times--I felt very valued! Between us we ordered the rice paper rolls (Bahn Hoi) with grilled chicken, crispy chicken pad Thai, and the chicken pad see ew. We loved all of them because of their incredible depth of flavor and the portion sizes were great for the ~$12! The crispy chicken pad Thai was great because it was very unique. I've never seen anything like it. It's got more of a sweet and heavy flavor, since the chicken is deep-fried, so if you're looking for something healthy and light, this would not be for you ;-) The pad see ew was incredibly good. If you've never had it before, try it here, it's one of the best we've ever had. Wide rice noodles with chicken, green onion, broccoli, and a very delicate sweet soy sauce. It's what dreams are made of. My surprise favorite of the night was the Bahn Hoi! Not everyone will love this meal, but I'd describe it like a light, Asian-style fajita. You get a lot of fillings--mint leaves, cucumber, carrots, lettuce, chicken (or choice of meat, but the grilled chicken was delicious), rice noodles, and a very nice sweet sauce. You then get rice paper rolls that come in this cool container (pic attached) that doubles as a water container to soak them and get them moldable. Then you fold all your toppings into it like a burrito, and voilà! You've got yourself a delicious and healthy roll. We had a great experience here and would love to come back soon! read more

I had the beef Pho. My wife had the Tom Kha. All the dishes were wonderful. We opened with Summer Rolls. A generous serving of peanut dipping sauce complemented the minty rolls. The beef in the Pho was tender, the stock rich, lots of fresh vegetables - satisfying. The Tom Kha was vibrantly sour. My wife didn't want it too spicy and the kitchen accommodated. Highly recommended. read more

My family and I frequent this establishment. The staff is friendly. The service is quick and the food is delicious. Ambience is relaxed. The prices are quite affordable without sacrificing the quality. I highly recommend the Noodle Barn. read more

Love the tom kah soup so much. Would be perfect if tofu was offered as a protein option instead of needing to request it.

Another time I'm here, all these years this place been in JP. My pho was lukewarm, the Vietnamese crepe was $14 for fillings mostly bean sprouts... if not for convenience don't come here for pho at all cost. read more

Ordered from here a few times and absolutely ADORE their Tom Kah Gai noodle soup--it's creamy with a strong umami base and an acidic tang with a nice freshness from the bean sprouts and Thai basil. Just perfect. However the last time we ordered from them, my husband found a piece of metal in his mango curry! He had chewed some and swallowed it because it was rather thin/stringy like noodles (looked like scrap from a take out box) and investigated it when he found more. I've attached pics but I'm sorely disappointed because I don't think we'll order from here again. Places make mistakes but it just leaves a bad taste, like when you find a hair in your food. read more

I stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. I was the first through the door. There was just one other couple there that came in after me. The place filled up while I was. There some Asian people so I knew I was in the right place. The portion size was average. I had the pad Thai. The service was prompt. So it should be. There is a parking lot in back as well as parking along the street. read more

I've been going to Noodle Barn for 3+ years and the customer service is phenomenal every single time! Last night we ordered pot stickers, spicy wings, salt and pepper calamari and the Gung Entree w/ Chicken. Total was $41 with a 25 minute wait. The food was well seasoned and cooked to perfection, the dipping sauce paired with pot stickers are to die for! No complaints food portions. I definitely suggesting ordering the homemade Limeade - it's refreshing and addicting. There is a parking lot located in the back of the store. read more

Noodle Barn - Massaman Curry Dinner with Shrimp - Noodles Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Very good food at good prices. Great for vegetarians although I don't know if their sauces have fish or oyster sauce so be careful if you want to avoid that. The only gripe I have is the temperature here is always truly awful. In summer when I would do take out, I would go in and it would be hot and sweltering almost like the outside. I guess that's how the owners like it? And I went on a cold night this winter with my family. We sat at the back most table and even though they have that plastic guarding the front door to keep the cold out, a kitchen keeps their door open the entire time and a freezing cold breeze kept all of us cold. I even asked the waitress if they had the door open back there because I was freezing. She said yeah they have to keep it open because they are going in and out so much. I don't believe that I think they just want to keep the kitchen cool and don't care about their customers. My question was more like a heavy hint that the door needed to be shut. We won't dine in the restaurant again. We will just do takeout. read more

I drive 30-40 minutes to go to Noodle Barn because it really checks off all the boxes! There is a huge variety of noodle dishes; I always have a hard time picking just one! My favorite so far is Barn's Noodle Soup. The broth is soothing and the grilled pork is amazing. Pho in general is always good. I've also enjoyed the Pad See-Ew and Pad Woon Sen. The flavoring is just right -- not too sweet, salty, or oily. For appetizer, I love the crab rangoon. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very comfortable. I've been here a couple times when it's raining and the view out the window is actually beautiful when it's raining due to the reflection of street lights on the wet streets. The restaurant was playing rainy jazz music at this time, which really amplified the mood in a positive way. Service is great; we get our waters refilled regularly and the check quickly. I've never needed to wait to be seated the numerous times I come on weekdays for dinner. The price is also reasonable for a good portion size. As a final bonus, there's a parking lot with free parking for 2 hours! read more

Don't order on a third party app. They don't take seriously or care if you ever get your food. And send blacked out pictures that the food was delivered. And then tell you that it never was, but it now, and then don't. read more

This place is a decent find Pros: + Large variety + Mango chicken is absolutely stunning + Giant servings Cons: - Awkward seating. They will not seat you until the full party is there. And even if the last person shows up while they bump you back a full table. Which makes you wait a while. Moral of the story: just make sure you tell your tardy friends 15-20 min early (joking). - They rush you out the restaurant even before you're finished with your meal - Lacking service read more

I have NEVER been disappointed here at all the only thing I can say is this place is small. That's the only Downside. The Rad Pra Prik which I ordered a couple years ago was spectacular but this isn't that review. This time I ordered the Fisherman's Fury which was absolutely fulfilling, mussels, shrimp, calamari, and mixed vegetables (all of which includes onions, broccoli, mushrooms, string beans, carrots, and a couple cucumbecooked in Sriracha sauce. The order of course was served with a side of white rice. As an appetizer I ordered the spicy wings which were basically fried chicken with a tasty sauce that wasn't too spicy but nonetheless appeasing. read more

Recently placed an order for 1. pad Thai noodle and a Thai fried rice, The lady that took my order did not hear me say Thai fried rice and gave me two orders of pad Thai noodles, Not only was the pad Thai noodle dry and disgusting with no taste. The lady that took my order did not want to remake my food and was very rude. When I asked for a full refund, she only gave me a refund for one dinner and kept my money for the other dinner even though I gave it back to her and told her I refused to eat it. read more

The name of the game at Noodle Barn is FLAVOR. And boy does it pack a huge flavor punch. I ordered the lemongrass chicken lunch special and a pork bahn mi. The chicken made my whole apartment smell like lemongrass and tasted very good. The lemongrass and other aromatics are very strong, and it is just spicy enough to have a kick but not burn your mouth. The veggies were thick-cut and still crunchy, which is how I like them. Very fresh. The Bahn mi was also fantastic. The pork itself was very tender and full of flavor.. I could eat it on its own. But add in the spicy jalapenos, crunchy veggies and cilantro and it was the perfect sandwich. And at only $7, was a steal! The place is very nice, all wood floors and tables. Felt more like a bistro than a typical Thai or Vietnamese place. They serve beer and wine. The host at the front was extremely friendly when he took my to-go order and it was all ready in about 15 minutes. Pretty good for all being prepared fresh. I can't wait to go back and actually try the noodle dishes! read more
