    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!

    Nondescript building on Daniel Webster Highway that you have to enter from the rear, but easy…read moreparking makes up for it. Lots of nooks and crannies, including an L-shaped bar, before you get to the main dining room. VERY lengthy menu comprising at least four Asian cuisines. My wife and I tried 10 dishes over two visits. -- Scallion Pancake: My wife chose this. Not exactly blazing new ground, but light, crispy, more scallion flavor than most, and ginger dipping sauce darker, thicker, clingier, and tastier than most. Above average. -- Cold Noodles with Sesame Sauce: Gotta mix this all up to get all the flavors distributed. Thin noodles, softer than most, and mildly spicy sauce saucier than most-- meaning it somewhat overpowered the noodles textually. Taste wise, no problem. Average. -- Singapore Chow Mei Fun Noodles with Tofu: This is my wife's dish and her domain. She's pretty particular about how she wants her noodles, and she was pleased that this rendition was neither too wet nor too sweet. Thumbs up from her. I tried a small bite and agreed. Above average. -- Biang Biang Noodles with Spicy Cumin Lamb: My favorite dish of the day and a pleasure both taste wise and texture wise. Long, thick noodles that felt homemade, not too sticky, not impossible to break, and nice wiggle. Not particularly spicy in the hot pepper way, but very spicy in the flavor way, with the cumin, as well as complementary vegetables. I've had this dish in a bunch of places and I gotta say this was the freshest I've ever had the lamb. Just enough liquid to make it work while letting the noodles and lamb shine. Well above average. Some heat would bring it over the top. -- Fish Filets in Sichuan Hot Chili Broth: Standard dish, solid execution with no surprises. Very tender fish, perhaps a little fuller if cut than most and a bit less spicy than most. Average, but not a bad average-- this dish is usually good and so was this rendition. -- Honey Spareribs: The second visit started with a dud here, as the ribs looked and felt very old. Honey glaze with odd cinnamony notes couldn't hide the dryness. I sent them back and they took them off the bill. -- Cucumber and Fungus in Vinegar Sauce: A cool, refreshing dish with the cukes well marinated but still crisp to the bite. -- Mini Pork Buns: Small (grape-sized) balls of pork surrounded by bao dough, steamed and lightly fried, served with a sweetened soy sauce. Not bad, not remarkable. --Sautéed String Beans: Thin, moist, cooked through but still retaining snap, slightly blackened in a good way, and accented with salty fermented bits. Very nicely done, though not spicy as billed. -- Ma Po Tofu without Meat: Soft, silky tofu and a smooth, mildly spicy sauce without any bits and pieces to add interest. Good flavor but a little one-note. Good service. You don't often get full service, never mind good service, at a hand pulled noodle joint, so this was a pleasant surprise. The interpretations of classic dishes were different enough that I can see some naysayers, but I mostly liked mostly everything, with the first visit very strong and the second a bit of a drop off. Very good value, as the volume of servings was higher than most and the pricing was lower than most. HUGE menu. Some might say too huge, too ambitious, and I agree. But as long as the execution is there in a few key dishes-- like the biang biang noodles I'll mostly stick to--I'm happy. My wife likes it, so there'll be more visits.

    Really exciting place focused on Northwest Chinese cuisine…read more The signature dish, the hand-pulled beef noodle soup, had a fairly light, but subtle, flavor. The noodles themselves I wish were chewier (got the 'flat' but probably should have gone for 'extra wide'), and perhaps it'd been nice to have some different textures inside the soup (e.g. something crunchy). The scallions in the soup were also too wide, and needed to be sliced more thinly. The beef pancake was quite decent, though the edges didn't have enough beef and the middles had too much beef. The beef was tender, though I might have liked it more flaky. The sauce inside the pancake was somewhat unevenly applied, and a bit too sweet. I wonder if a dipping sauce (maybe a vinegar?) would have helped. The blueberry with mashed yams was fascinating. It was listed under appetizers, and wondered why the dish came out last. But the dish was a bit sweet (naturally!) and so it actually worked as a light modest dessert! The wait staff was spot on after all in putting out the dish last. The stir-fried cabbage dish was beautiful! It was appropriately crunch, yet using good wok hey. The salt level was a bit high, but the spice level was good. Their spice ratings were a bit timid to what I encounter in Szechuan restaurants (the 'regular' level seemed to be more 'mild-regular'). The stir-fried cumin potato was delicious; nicely flavored, nicely charred. Some bits were a bit oily but the cook on the potato was really neat. Will revisit!!!

I added on the tea egg and they brought it on the side for you to add into the broth. We tried the lamb skewers and those were flavorful to whet the appetite for share in group of 5. We capped off the meal with their jelly vanilla ice cream dessert too which was the perfect way to wash the delicious spices from the noodle soup earlier. I would definitely come again as each time the noodles, soup and the beef were equally tasty.

My first impression? Bright, modern, and incredibly welcoming. The space has an inviting energy, but what really stood out was the hostess. Since it was my first visit, she took the time to patiently explain the menu and made me feel completely at ease. Her recommendation of the Tan Tan turned out to be absolutely spot on. Loaded with spicy minced pork, minced garlic, onions, chives, sesame sauce, dried chili pepper, and a perfectly poached egg, this bowl was a beautiful marriage of flavor and texture. The savory minced pork stole the show, while the chewy hand-pulled noodles held onto every bit of that rich, nutty, spicy sauce. Just when I thought the experience was over, I learned the best part was still to come. After finishing the noodles, you're encouraged to ask for a bowl of rice and mix it into the remaining sauce. It transforms the leftovers into an entirely new dish, making sure not a single drop of flavor goes to waste. The entire meal felt like an adventure--one I genuinely didn't want to end. I've always considered myself a ramen guy, but this experience reminded me that it's worth stepping outside your comfort zone every now and then. Japanese cuisine really is the gift that keeps on giving, and I'm here for it!
