My friends like this place...they don't get out much...had better ambiance in train stations. Very meh lemongrass chicken potstickers, they were out of the drink i wanted, staff was distracted, floor was slippery. Won't go back. read more

I love the shrimp Osaka and would recommend it to everyone who wants a great dish at reasonable prices go get you some Food there and enjoy the best dinner in Missoula for the price yummy food for me and my read more

Order was wrong and missing things on delivery. Said we had to come get our items because they wouldn't re deliver and come for my refund. When I asked for a refund enough and somewhat argued, they said they had it covered through their point of sale but I never got it. Food was the equivalent of frozen asian food. read more

Love this place, specifically this location. We eat here at least 2x a week. Asian slaw with ginger dressing is the best anywhere and chicken teriyaki is fantastic! Nothing but good to say about employees and food! read more

Missoula Broadway location: Our family called in an order. I ordered chicken Osaka with extra sauce and slaw on the side. When my husband picked it up he reiterated that I wanted extra sauce. What I got was no Osaka sauce and no veggies (it even said veggies on side on the receipt). So I got dressed and drove the 20 minutes across town. I told the manager there was no oska sauce which made the meal extremely plain to which she answered, "but we cook the chicken in a ginger sauce, so it wasn't plain, besides I bagged this and I know there was sauce". Trust me, the last thing I'm going to do is crawl out of my comfy sweatpants and drive 20 minutes across town to try to scam an extra sauce. Won't be back. read more

A long time customer but unfortunately, the last four or five times they have always forgotten some thing. You have to open up your bag when you pick up or get a delivery before the person drives off because something will be missing or incorrect. read more

I don't even know what to say at this point, Called in an order from the Southgate location in Early January, Called ahead since the order was large and my partner came to pick it up.. she got there only to find out YOU CANT EVEN USE THE GIFT CARDS YOU SOLD US. Was told it would be 2 weeks and its been 3 MONTHS. Every employee I've talked to has no known timetable to be able to use them again. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE. The complete And utter disregard by 'corporate' not supplying the machines to be able to use THEIR OWN GIFTS CARDS is quite honestly, embarrassing. The fact that you are still selling them(at least when I searched online) is one of the shadiest business practices I've ever seen. Is there a way to return it?!? Has this happened to anyone else?! I'm at a loss. Have eaten here for years with no issue. What a disappointment. read more

Five times now my orders have been late, wrong,forgotten, cook staff wears no hair or beard coverings. its too bad because the food is ok. Last time I visit this place. read more

Never had a problem with this location. I order for pickup and it takes 20min tops. The people leaving 1 star reviews just have too high of standards for this place. read more

Brought a friend to the Broadway location because I wanted her to experience the Chicken Osaka which I love. We arrived at 12:30 and there were only a few other tables occupied. After we sat down an employee informed us that they were out of white rice and that it would be a twenty minute wait so we went with brown rice. It was okay but everything was room temperature. It seemed like the food had been scraped off the bottom of pans that had been sitting out . We needed more soy sauce and there was exactly one packet available. Employees seemed checked out and completely uninterested in helping customers. Not much slaw on the plate at all. The potstickers were great but they only had one of the two options available. I don't know how they could be so unprepared for what is likely their busiest time. I don't plan to return any time soon. read more

every time we go through the drive thru, my husband doesn't think to check the food and EVERY TIME we have dry, sauceless food. every time! and we live too far away to go back. the only reason to eat here is the sauce and unless you dine in and grab your own sauce, you won't get any. read more

I love Noodle Express. It's just a fast food Asian American place, but it's so good. The sauces are so delish and the rice is so good, seasoned perfectly. Teriyaki or Osaka Chicken, Green Beans, Miso Soup, and Potstickers are all fabulous. Most meals are served with a Cucumber Slaw in a lovely Asian Vinegarette. Ask for extra Osaka or Teriyaki Sauce! Beer and wine are served at this location. It has a Drive-up, Pick-up window. Sub brown rice if you prefer. Don't go to the mother restaurant called the Mustard Seed. Its a rip off with most of the same dishes at twice the price with little consistency. You'll get outta Noodle Express for $7-10. read more

Bloody awful. The fusion thing isn't working. Also the cashier apparently thinks masks don't need to cover the nose.

Come here if you literally have no options. I had a feeling I should've turned around! Food is bland. I had to add soy sauce and salt to everything. The egg rolls had no flavor and that says a lot. How could you mess up egg rolls? The worst part is I'd rather go to Panda Express, and that place sucks. The tables staid dirty for longer than 5 minutes. On the bright side, the staff is friendly and patient. Restaurant was pleasing. read more

Noodle Express - a plate of noodles with chopsticks - Asian Fusion Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Everything that we ordered was just awful. No flavor, and no substance. We ordered the Chicken Yakisoba, Teryaki rice bowl, and miso noodle soup. The noodles are without flavor, and the texture is worse than a package of $1 ramen. read more

Hard not to love this inexpensive little hole in the wall. I had their potstickers, which were steamed perfectly. The dipping sauces were great too. The noodles and beef packed plenty of heat, even at 2 out of 5 on their spiciness scale, so order accordingly. Also it's a good idea to double to meat on your order, the meat ratio can be a little light otherwise. If you're in the mood for noodles, this is a great little spot to stop. read more

These guys are great and I love coming here so much some of the staff know me by name. I've had a few things go wrong like chili oil added to my chicken when I didn't ask or under cooked rice but they ALWAYS make it right. The staff is awesome and the food is great! read more

After a terrible experience at Buffalo Wild Wings that left us with no food, our office decided to order party pans from Noodles Express. Dustin was very kind and helpful on the phone and took our payment over the phone. My co-worker picked up the food about 15 minutes later and everything was perfectly packaged . Dustin greeted her with a smile and had great customer service. The food was delicious! Would definitely recommend for big groups. read more

I really like Noodle Express for quick Asian food. Their chicken, shrimp and tofu are good quality (haven't tried the beef). Their teriyaki sauce is amazeballs and you can buy bottles of it in local grocery stores. I'm giving them 4 stars because I really wish the mall location served wraps like the Broadway location does. read more

I didn't actually get any food because I'm poor but my friends really seemed to like my friends liked it, I'm just kidding a just walked in had some fortune cookies. But let me say those fortunes were very nice and the cookies were exquisite, all in all I had a great time. read more

I'm still a fan, but our Chicken Osaka orders over the past 3 years have been hit and miss. The way the chicken is cut and cooked seems to have changed, and not for the better. Several times now, the chicken has been bland and didn't have that light touch of ginger sauce browning on it. The brown rice has been unremarkable (maybe a change in supplier?) The coleslaw remained refreshing. So here's the deal Noodle Express... it is taking longer and longer to get to Broadway after we leave the freeway and this past August we had a dismal drive to the restaurant only to experience a meh meal. read more

Regardless of the semi tasty food, over 40 minutes waiting for food. Ridiculous! And as a life long customer, my family and I will NEVER return. read more

This place will hire someone only give them 2 days to work but then just stop putting them on the schedule with no notice or anything but yet they say the desperately need people they can't open the dining room because short staff. But yet you disrespect a good worker by just blowing them off manager heather completely rude no manager skills read more

I love the Chinese cucumber slaw they make. Wonderful ginger dressing. At the one in Southgate Mall, I figure it is pretty much the same sauces that you would ge in the Mustard Seed for about 1/3 of the price. One time I saw the cook grillup a bunch of chicken breast for an order and when I questioned if all the dishes got such a generous helping, he was honest enough to say No. Turns out that guy was his roomate and getting food enough for a couple of meals. As a business owner, I was torn about turning him in to the manager, but figured wages are so stinking low in Missoula it is hard to make it. Live and let live. However, my helping of chicken may have been smaller but it was well done and delicious. Judy Helm Wright read more

Unsafe. Workers are not socially distancing (all standing together without masks). Not a mask in sight including the window server who spoke forcefully in my direction. read more

Unlike the mall Chinese food this is always fresh- made to order and hasn't been sitting under heat lamps or warmers. Can't beat it for a quick meal in a casual atmosphere read more

My favorite thing about this location versus the mall, is that the food seems fresher and more well-prepared. On this visit we ordered the chicken Osaka with some tofu added and we also ordered the teriyaki beef.so delicious. They also have delicious spinach and artichoke rangoons. read more

Super friendly on my visit today! Still kinda sticky everywhere, but Top 3 fast food place in Missoula (w/ #1 Gyros, and Five on Black).

Seriously what a pleasant surprise this place is. It's a fast-casual joint with pretty awesome selection of noodle and/or rice bowl delicacies. The menu is pretty extensive for what it is so you might spend a few minutes thinking about what you want (still worth it). They are not close to the freeway but it's well worth the extra few k hates drive. Somehow this place manages to entice you with the most basic of culinary rules. "Make sure it tastes great". And boy do they follow this rule to the tee! And while the don't overdo the portions, they are healthy enough to fill ya up, but also leave room for their huckleberry cheesecake which is amazing. Don't miss this place. If you're driving through Missoula this is a must go. read more

Twice in a row!!! First time I picked up through the window and an entire order was missing. They sent a gift card. I used the gift card last night and I ordered two double beef bowls and one regular. i received one double beef and one ref and one with two pieces of beef. living out of town I couldn't return to the store...so i basically paid 7 dollars extra for the double meat that i didn't get AND A TIP! word to all check all your food before leaving the window! no quality control whatsoever read more

This restaurant has been a family favorite for a long time - but after tonight's visit I think we'll choose elsewhere. Made the mistake of ordering within 45 minutes of closing. Kayla (a manager) went through great pains to avoid the possibility of us still sitting at the table a few minutes past closing. Bad day? maybe; Angry elf? definitely; Food? ok. Dining experience? horrible . read more

It always amazes me that people can enjoy a place several times and the first time a place doesn't live up to expectations is when they write a crummy review on them. Never mind writing a review when you like them, let's forget how much we liked the place until they had a bad day. Restaurants suffer the most from this. Today was the third time I've ate at Noodle Express and as usual the food was quality and the portions are more than fair. Service is always friendly even when very busy. I like I can get a beer with my food. There are a lot of fresh choices here and the prices are fair. I love their ginger teriyaki sauce and cucumber slaw. read more

Each time I've eaten here, I've had pretty good experiences; but never a great one. The food I've had has been delicious. (Ex. Beef noodle bowl w/extra sauce ) The poor customer service was disappointing. Hopefully that will turn around because they do have awesome food! read more

Great place to stop and grab a tasty noodle bowl quick! Customer service has always been excellent here and food quality seems to be consistent! They have several chicken and beef teriyaki rice/noodle bowl combinations to choose from. I suggest the beef teriyaki bowl with brown rice and ginger dressing salad. I absolutely believe their ginger salad dressing is fantastic! Great choice for a quick bite to eat! read more

Been a fan of Mustard Seed since they were on Broadway back in the 80's, have been going to Noodle Express on Broadway since they opened. Moved out of state several years ago, but am in town 3-4 times a year and have looked forward to enjoying their offerings. After last night I probably won't go back. A bowl of very dry rice is not what I expected. My wife's was the same or worse. Maybe two bites of slaw, and two to three bites of dry protein. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was soggy, and all breading, and three very small pieces. The Thai pork rice bowl had less. If I could give "0" , that would be appropriate. There are MANY BETTER CHOICES, GO ELASWHERE! read more

I have been a fan of Noodle Express up until this last year. The portions that they are serving are ridiculously small. You order a rice bowl and that's exactly what you get a bowl full of rice with a couple of pieces of chicken and very little vegetables. Not sure what has changed but the ratio of meat and vegetables to Rice certainly is not worth $8. read more

Great food, they actually customize your food here. My doctor told me to come here, good, or much healthier than most places. I you ever have a problem, no matter how small, ask for the manager Matt, he'll make it right!!! Make it even better by having it with brown rice and extra veggies/less rice! read more

Noodle Express - It was pretty till I ate half of it! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Missoula, Montana

I gotta be honest, for just getting a bowl of noodles slathered in soy sauce. . . I expect a lower price or higher quality. Really the only vegetables in the food are squash. I was dissapointed. I would suggest going somewhere else. read more

I've eaten here alot while on mall shopping trips and with friends. I always get shrimp noodle bowl or Teriyaki rice bowl. both taste great, super salty though. Can't eat this more than once a month honestly or I would get sick or have high blood pressure. Great for a quick and easy lunch, staff is always friendly. Prices are pretty high that's the only down fall but people always come back for more. read more
