Service was ridiculously slow. Two servers were wearing gloves but touching everything including the bowls. One gal kept adjusting her hair into a bun that kept falling out. Then would grab utensils, lids and bowls. There were two couples and a single person waiting for their food. It took over 45 minutes to get my meal. Two pork noodle bowls and a kids chicken noodle bowl. The vegetables were soggy and mushy and the pork was so over cooked. Took it Togo. We live an hour north from this restaurant. We were so disappointed in the whole experience. People kept coming in to pick up their orders and had to wait. The pinnacle of the evening was listening to a teenaged male (wearing gloves, handling money & food) answering the phone "Hi Noodle express there is a 45 minute wait do you still want to order?" The saddest part of this experience is that I was the AGM at this store for many years. I was so sad to see that it has gone so far downhill. I'll never come back. My bill was $40 for this incredibly lousy food and service. read more

What happened to this place? Ordered a beef teriyaki bowl, and the beef was very tough, rubbery and subpar. It literally turned my stomach when I started examining the pieces of meat I was about to eat. Employee at the window seemed dazed and confused about our call in order, also acted like she didn't care. Not many cars around the building....Has this place taken a turn downhill, because I have never experienced subpar beef and lifeless employees at the take out window before. read more

1 star is for the good customer service when ordering. Ordered small green beans sautéed in garlic, one of our favorites was excited to eat them. Ordered chicken Osaka with slaw and chicken yakisoba noodle bowl. Food came out quickly our green beans portion was maybe 1 cup @$6 in my opinion is ridiculously priced. Chicken Osaka has so much water in it I had to drain into a cup. Chicken Yakisoba bowl was good just a very small portion for the price. We wanted to give these guys another try used to come here regularly. Definitely gone down hill from 3 years ago and we will not be going back. Photo is the portion size of green beans, had to put them in noodle bowl so I could drain all the water from my Osaka into something. Not the employees fault, they were great. read more

Noodle Express - Asian Fusion Near Me - Spokane, Washington

The quality of the food at the north division location is poor and today I thought I would give them one more try. Found a long curly hair in my vegetable and the chicken was chewy. The teriyaki sauce in the small container did not look edible. This was such a great place for lunch, not anymore... read more

Ordered a teriyaki chicken noodle bowl and when my buzzer buzzed i went to go grab it from the chefs counter. All that was on the tray was teriyaki chicken. Shane, the chef working the grill, asked me if i needed anything else. I said that i had also ordered noodles and that it was a to go meal. He was SO nice and worked fast to get me what i had actually ordered. 10/10 deserves a raise read more

Our friends always rave about this place and we felt it was a good time to try out their food. We ordered 2 family meals (one beef and one shrimp) with extra meat because after reading the reviews, we didn't want to have too much rice/noodles leftover. They really piled on the meats so you have no complaints from me about skimpy portions! The shrimp with rice was fantastic!! Plenty of shrimp for every plate of rice!! The beef with noodles was good. The meat had flavor but was a little on the tough side and the noodles were good. Now everyone always talks about the coleslaw and if eaten alone, well.. I thought it was too tart, but when added to the main dishes, it actually helped compliment them. I think it was pretty perfect with both dishes. I wasn't crazy about the ginger sauce but everyone seemed to like it. Overall, the meals were above average when you compare it to other Asian type eateries, they definitely charge you for a premium price for just a tad bit better cuisine. So really for me this was a 3.5 star review because price was a huge determining factor. Clean environment with plenty of parking and a friendly staff makes this place worth a second try. Plus they also have a drive thru which is nice!! read more

See all

I ordered $61 worth of food from the airway Heights noodle express. The gal was very very nice. I ordered two shrimp bowls, one shrimp Osaka and 18 potstickers. The sad part was when I brought it home.. The shrimp was truly salad shrimp. I spent $10 per bowl for a pile of noodles and a pile of rice with two pieces of vegetables! I've been a loyal Mustardseed customer for years. This is pathetic and I hope I can get a refund because I'm calling the manager of mustard seed tomorrow at Northtown Mall. Beware and look at your food before you leave the pick up line read more

It seems like every time I go to this location something is wrong. This time they didn't give a fork or the correct change. I specifically gave them one penny to get quarters back but they couldn't figure that out. Nor did they listen to me as I was trying to speak with them about this. It seems that they are not customer service oriented. I always try to avoid this location and will make sure I do that more next time. Hopefully the food isn't messed up too, I have 0 confidence in this location! read more

Great customer service. Really kind and remade my order because I forgot to ask for no vegetables.

Probably could have done better buying a frozen stir fry entree from the Walmart frozen aisle.

I was excited to eat here because I have in the past, but one of the waitresses gave us soy sauce instead of teriyaki so now it is so salty we don't want to eat it. read more

Never again! Placed online order 4 rice bowls: Osaka chicken, 2 dynamite chicken and a beef teriyaki no slaw, all with rice. What I got Osaka chicken with noodles , 1 dynamite chicken with rice, 1 orange chicken, 1 teriyaki beef with slaw and about 1/4 cup of rice. The "slaw" is just vinegar drenched cabbage and cucumbers, the chicken is rubbery and of poor quality- the Osaka chicken and orange/dynamite chicken went straight in the trash. Never again with Noodle Express on N. Division. read more

First time eating at this location. My husband and I ordered teriyaki tofu rice bowls. He got a large, I got a small. Asked for light slaw. Cashier rang it up as 10/90 for 10% slaw, 90% rice. Had the tofu cooked well done. Ordered two 4 piece potstickers and a drink. Cashier rang it up as a meal. Got home with the food and saw that the bowls were 90% slaw and very soggy rice. Everything tasted like the slaw despite adding extra teriyaki sauce and soy sauce on it. Only received one order of the pot stickers because the cashier only rang up one. Didn't bother to call them and complain since we didn't get a receipt just the ticket for the order. We ended up not eating the food and went out to taco bell instead. read more

This was my first time eating here. Ordered the teriyaki chicken broccoli bowl. Chicken was on the dry side. Asian rice should be sticky. This rice was like Uncle Ben's. Broccoli was cooked nicely but there wasn't enough of it. The bowl was edible but I would not order it again. Gyoza (dumplings) were DELICIOUS. Wish I'd ordered (8) and made that my meal. Sauces were all good. The staff I interacted with were very friendly. read more

For some reason I ended up on GRUBHUB to place an order for Noodle Express. Their system didn't work right and the price was over $33. When I gave up and called the order was less than $20. Plus GRUBHUB said that Noodle Express in Spokane delivered only. This was all incorrect. Lesson: Don't order from GRUBHUB for Noodle Express in Spokane on Division. read more

Gosh sometimes I love this place but I will never get over the portion sizes. I love the rice bowls but the ratio of protein to rice and veggies is not correct. Like, at all. However their sauces are really yummy. It is definitely tasty, but not out of this world delicious. We do order the rice bowls for everyone while they are working as it is an inexpensive, filling meal. read more

First time here. We were here for a business convention and walked in with a group of 15 people during dinner hour. They handled our group quite well. This restaurant has awesome customer service, and based off of the reviews that seems like a super common thing. Food was decent, nothing to rave about. Inexpensive, fast, in and out. Exactly what we were needing. Honestly, despite the food, when service is actually really on point, it makes the second experience worth it. People can bring back repeat customers if it's good enough, and I'd definitely say this place has that. read more

Order ahead and went to the drive through, everything was done right on time, even got a quick potsticker order in and only waited like 3 minutes. Food was delicious. The person over the phone was very helpful and also suggested a few things to make my experience better. Will be back read more

We have tried it twice and have been very unimpressed, it is an $$ expensive $$ bowl of rice or noodles, veges and meat and a canned sauce. Think about the noodle shacks at the fair or the mall and you have noodle express. It won't kill you but nothing special and certainly not worth the price.

I came here for the first time since my last review - I was hungry, it was close. I figured I'd try something other than the rice bowls since I remembered they weren't that great. I ordered a pork soup and ice water, & my husband took charge of the buzzer and filled my cup while I chose a table (the same one we sat in last time, actually). The buzzer went off as soon as my husband brought the water back to the table, very quick. Now I didn't see this part 'cause I was facing away, but the whole restaurant heard my husband's scream of pain. He came back to the booth with his arm just covered in scalding soup. Apparently he bumped the collection area for the buzzers. He went to grab some napkins & eventually got all the hot broth and onions out of his arm hair. About 5 minutes later, someone finally came by and offered him the usage of the store's first aid kit. Sorry, too little too late. The soup was tasty, but my husband now has a blister from the burn he received. If I ever come back (not likely) I'll take it to go so I can eat in the safety of my own home. read more

We ordered on line and paid for it, also added tip. Time to pick up was 6:58. We were at the window on time and were informed that online orders aren't Informed when their behind and it would be a 20 to 30 min wait for our food. I was not happy and wanted a refund, but was told since I had prepaid I would have to call corporate to get a refund. We decided to just wait it out and were told to park right out front and they would bring it out to us. We parked by the front windows and waited, and waited. Watched the girl from the window take her break and scroll thru her phone, watched another worker stroll out to your patio to smoke, and waited some more. Finally at 30 min I pulled around to your window to see if it was ready since no one came out with our food...there was another employee by the window smoking too. I get to the window and ask if our foods ready yet as it's been 30 min...there it was sitting next to the window...she said, "oh I was just getting ready to bring it out to you." Yeah, maybe she was, but for some reason I doubt it. She handed us the food and proceeded to close the window, when I said hey we also had drinks...she had no idea...did she even look at our order??? She finally got us our drinks and we finally got the hell out of there. The food was ok. My noodles were dry and clumped together, but it tasted ok. Will I go there again...Hell no!!!! Panda express is just as good and I'm in and out in less than 10 min...PS...I would have never tipped for the service we received tonight read more

I eat here every other week. Mostly because there's not many food options in north Spokane. On that note, I've never been disappointed. I always get the chicken teriyaki bowl and add shrimp. I wish they would offer avocado as an additional topping. read more

Two stars because the customer service was nice however I was not able to enjoy my food due to several pieces of hair found in my rice bowl. Never had the opportunity to taste the food. Very disappointed and hungry. It sucks when you pay money and find hairs in your food. read more

I have lived in Spokane for 1 year now and have seen the commercial for this Noodle Express that looked good from the commercial so I decided to finally visit this establishment. From the very beginning with the order the front counter lady was rude. My order came to $24.62, I handed her a $100 bill and she handed me the change not counting it back to me as $40 of it was all in $5 bills. I had to count it back to myself. We were given a number for our order as we were originally going to get it to go, the same counter lady who gave me the change tried to give my order to a different customer. I said that is my order so I could get our food. We ordered the teriyaki chicken rice bowl and noodle bowl. The chicken was very dry and I smothered it in the teriyaki sauce and it still was dry. So from the beginning to the end it was the worst experience I have ever had at an establishment. I will never go back and will warn people not to go there. read more

WE use to go to the noodle express on N Division at least monthly before Covid. WE decided to go in today 12/9/22 and quite frankly was shocked by the run-down appearance and it was dirty. Should have left at that point. But we remembered how good the food had been so still ordered. There was one other person in the restaurant so we were surprised we had to wait over 25 minutes to receive our food. When we went up to ask if there was a problem with our order the cook said, "I will buzz you when it is ready." we waited another 7 minutes. Totally bad. The pork spring rolls did not taste fresh and when we opened one of them it was slimy and smelled. We ordered an asian salad and it was not fresh. In fact the cucumbers on top had been frozen. We brought this to the attention of the cook (tongue in cheek) and he argued with us and said there was nothing wrong with the food, he had just eaten the same thing we ordered and it was fine, We told him it smelled bad and he said no, I just ate it and it was fine. When we showed him the cucumbers that were frozen he said no they were not frozen. Needless to say we will not be going back there and only hope our next stop to the Mustard Seed will make up for this terrible meal. read more

Came to grab food before an event, I waited in line for 45 mins with 2 cars ahead of me and 20 minutes past when it should've be ready. Left with no food, -$40, and 12 minutes late for my event. Horrible service . read more

Haven't eaten here in a while,but love the Mustard Seed so on my lunch today I called in an order. Picked up my food and made went on my way. The guy in the drive thru was awesome, friendly and efficient! My food,however,was awful. My rice seemed like it was a day or two old,with a lot of clumps of rice in it. I got an Osaka bowl and it was super bland,my chicken was barely brown and even with extra sauce and chili paste I couldn't even finish my meal. Super disappointing when I love the food at Mustard Seed and thought it'd be the same quality. read more

Great fast food place. Excellent quality food reasonably priced. I eat here a couple of times a week and never get tired of their food. I just wish they had some kind of loyalty program for people like me who frequent their establishment. read more

I am from Missoula where this restaurant is from and the one here in Spokane doesn't even compare to the one there. First, they are skimpy on the meat. I have to order a double order of meat to get the same amount as I would back home. Then, the rice and noodles are also a smaller portion. The prices are outrageous for what it is, too. The only reason they got 3 stars from me is the service is always good and they are quick. read more

Love noodle express! My favorite is the chicken Osaka with extra slaw and noodles! This is the cheaper version of mustard seed, but I actually prefer their food over their more expensive sibling. It's a great place to grab a quick bite or get something to go! Call in your order totaele advantage of their drive through! read more

This review is for the Spokane Valley (Sullivan Rd) location, but Yelp doesn't have a listing for it yet and I'm too lazy to add it myself. Get on the Yelp train, Spokane!! I have been craving a chicken osaka bowl since leaving Spokane 16 months ago. Well, it was pretty much how I remembered it. Wonderful brown rice, plenty of Asian slaw veggies, heavy on the chicken portion, and THAT sauce, oh that sauce! I wish the Mustard Seed/Noodle Express folks would bottle that sauce. I would have it shipped to Phoenix regularly. I wanted to go back for another visit to Noodle Express, but there just wasn't enough time to squeeze it in. My next visit to Spokane will include a stop to Noodle, no doubt about it! read more

Not a fan of the slaw surprisingly (most everyone I talk to LOVES it), but the Sweet and Sour Chicken bowl is to die for. I get it with brown AND white rice and it makes the world go round. Service is great, staff is friendly, and the place is clean. read more

Noodle express is one of my favorite places to eat. Especially their chicken Osaka. They changed the type of chicken they serve in Spokane a few years ago and raised the prices. I think he noodle express in Missoula uses the older style of chicken still. Haven't been there in a while. Still is very tasty. read more

Fast food that tastes healthy! Consistantly good each time I've grabbed take-out. The osaka is a unique taste of mustard with ginger. Give it a try. The service is quick. The pot stickers are great...not rubbery or stiff around the edges. Prices are reasonable. Appetizer and 2 entrees was about $20. read more

This place is great. I ordered a pork noodle bowl and pot stickers. Both are tasty. Quick service. Friendly staff. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

We live in Seattle, but come here atleast twice each visit. Each time it is consistantly good, and well priced for the portion that is recieved. I get the pork teriyaki bowl, and it's always cooked great and just how I like it! I recommend Noodle Express to anyone! The location is clean, and the staff are super friendly! read more

This reminded me of an Asian food chipotle. Lots of different options. The food was well made and service was good. Fast, as well! It wasn't mind blowing, but at a good cost, it was worth it. read more

We used to love eating their Tilapia dish with Osaka Ginger Sauce. They no longer have it so we haven't come back for about a year, but they usually have good, speedy service. Their prices are affordable and you actually get full. Their sauces are wonderful and the restaurants all seem pretty clean. read more

A great place to eat tasty American-Asian food. Ordered the Singaporean dish. Having traveled extensively through Asia and essentially Singapore, it was tasty but not very authentic. Don't expect authentic Asian Food, but what they do have is really good!! The price was great, the food was great, the customer service was great. Definitely recommend. read more

I've been dining at Noodle Express for many years and personally find that the food is better at the Valley location. Like so many people, I always order the Chicken Osaka with that tangy lemon sauce. Tonight I tried the Singapore Chicken recommended by the cashier. WOW-it's like Osaka on steroids! With the flavors of lemon, garlic and pepper this dish will wake up your taste buds. Try it over brown rice! read more
