    Crab Rangoon AAA+++
    Charlie L.

    Food was amazing really really love this place haven't been there in a while but decided to go back and wow it's incredible the beef soup was delicious would definitely recommend to everyone AAA+++

    Pad see ewd. I'd skip this one. But I'd skip this entire place too...
    Shemesh Y.

    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 :)

    Superb quality and fast service. Charming airy little spot in the middle of Jamaica Plain & has excellent Vietnamese & Thai offerings. The variety is impressive & price are very reasonable for Boston. A sure bet the get your Thai fix satiated.

    Crispy Wonton with Chicken Very tasty!!
    W J.

    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.

    Crab Rangoon
    Mark T.

    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!

    Saigon Salad
    Mason Y.

    Great lunch spot and prices. When I lived in JP this didn't exist so it was a great find. Had the Saigon salad which had a nice tangy taste - shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumbers with lemongrass beef. Wife has crispy chicken and portions were generous.

    Pad Gra Pow Barn
    Chirag P.

    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.

    Pad Thai Dinner
    Aya R.

    Always a great time at the Noodle Barn! Great vibes, delicious food. Cute place. I had pho and the veggie pad Thai, both incredible. Thank you for a yummy night!

One Thai (eggplant) and one from Shaanxi China region (Biang Biang). I ordered the Biang Biang extra spicy but I'm guessing they didn't believe me. It was tasty but regular spice level. It's clear that there were actual Szechuan peppers in it - characteristic tingle effect. Which is nice to see now that the US has decided they're not poison after all. The braised eggplant with Thai basil (hence known as basil eggplant in most Thai restaurants) was creamy in texture and rich in flavor. The meal started with hot and sour soup, which was surprising. The cup was quite large and the soup was absolutely packed with ingredients. Tofu, wood ear mushrooms, lily buds and more. Super satisfying, although I ordered a side of black vinegar to get it a bit more sour. The prices were super reasonable for normal portions but the portions weren't normal - they were HUGE. Half the noodles went home with me as well as half the braised eggplant. Hard to see how they support such huge portions without correspondingly huge prices.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, so there is limited seating. We were seated at the bar, so we got to see the udon being made, which was fun! The service was quick and attentive. I got the spicy hot niku udon and it was delicious. The udon was chewy and the perfect consistency. The beef was thin and tender. Lastly, the spicy broth really brought it all together. If you're a spice lover, I would recommend this item! 10/10 When we wrapped up, there was a long wait. I recommend coming for an early dinner, but the line also looks like it moves fast because they turn tables so quickly.

    Tl;dr Excellent, chewy udon and fantastic flavors, but service staff needs some better training…read more We came on a Wednesday night for two and had no wait, which was a great start. Having been here twice now, getting the spicy cold beef udon and their special tantan udon is definitely the way to go (made the mistake of getting the soup udon the first time). The udon itself goes without saying. It is thick, super chewy, and cooked just to the right softness. The cold beef udon was perfect--the sauce has a great blend of flavors and is portioned correctly. The tantan was an interesting take that is different from typical Chinese tantan flavors, making it unique to their style. The main issue was the service flexibility. I asked for no cilantro on the tantan, and the server said they couldn't accommodate that request because they wanted to serve it the way the chef intended. This was ridiculous considering the cilantro was simply piled right on top rather than blended into a sauce or salsa. In the end, it was just a waste of time having to pick it all out myself. The best part was the table next to us were able to customize their bowl. The noodles and cold beef udon are outstanding, but untrained staff really changed the mood of the night.

    Four words: spicy cold niku udon. The signature is also good!…read more I've been a fan of Yume ever since I found out about it when I went to Tufts for college. It was the Asian-American community's go-to spot for dine-in, take-out, or both! This was back when they had their location in the Lesley University food court too - people would be lining up for 30+ minutes to get a coveted seat at one of their humble seats. I look fondly on when they would yell "perfect" whenever I finished my bowl, praising how I slurped every freshly cut udon noodle and devoured every ounce of broth or crispy tempura bit they put in there. The new location is just a few stores down, still in/out of the Lesley University mall area. It has a nice ambiance and feels less cramped. While I miss the "perfect" yelling, the flavor still tastes just as good even if it's gotten an insane amount of hype since then. Would highly recommend ordering takeout if you're in a rush - they do it very efficiently, both at the original Cambridge location and the new Seaport location too. I'm so happy for all of their success!

    On Thursday around 2:30pm, we came and got greeted and seated quickly (no line!)…read more Just to preface, I know they're best known for their cold udon, but fall is starting and I really wanted to have broth! So, I ordered the spicy hot Niki udon and my bf ordered the hot Niki udon. The spicy one was good. I know the bowl looks red and scary but I promise it's not actually that spicy- just enough for a little kick. Broth was flavorful and has good balance of savory/spicey/just a bit of sweetness. However, my bf's non-spicy wasn't as good. The broth was weirdly a little too sweet? It also kinda reminds me of a curry broth which we weren't expecting. He wasn't happy with his broth and preferred my spicy broth. Besides the broth, the actual items in the soup were delicious. The noodles are very thick, slightly bouncy (but not as bouncy as I prefer) and taste fresh. They give you a good portion of beef which is tender. There are probably like 2 tbsp of green onions which was amazing bc I love green onion! And the green onions weren't spicy, just fresh. I think what really leveled the bowl up was the pieces of tempura which added a nice texture. I actually finished my whole bowl and didn't need a takeout container which rarely happens. So each bowl is enough for like one serving (do not share!). There is an open kitchen type situation so I could kind of peak over the counter and see the chefs. They played music on a volume louder than average, but there were good songs. Overall, I would not recommend the hot Niki udon but the spicy Niki udon is great. I do want to try their infamous cold udon which is broth-less. Service was quick and staff were very nice.

The noodles were springy and cooked perfectly, though I probably would like the thick noodles better next time (they have thin, regular, thick, wide, and extra wide sizes). I ordered the non-spicy version, but it can also be ordered as mild, regular, or extra hot. With the non-spicy version, the broth was still very flavorful and meaty. You're able to add cilantro and leeks if you'd like as well, and the soup comes with some sliced thin radish in it. When the bowl arrived, the radish was a little undercooked, but by the end of the meal they had cooked decently in the hot broth. Now while I don't think I could have handled the mild version, I was happy that the tables came equipped with chili oil and vinegar, which I added to a plate and dipped my noodles in for a slight kick. I think this was perfect - since ordering a spicier version would have been too much, but the ability to add my own helped me regulate the strength and added a lot of great flavor to the noodles. The price for a bowl was $16, and that's what makes this a 4 star instead of a 5. Altogether, I was still hungry after finishing the bowl - I would have liked if there were a little more noodles or maybe some veggies included for that price. The meat was also a bit scarce, and it was a little dry as well. Still, the broth and the side of chili oil made it very tasty!
