This Asian family-owned restaurant business opened not so long ago in the place where Ike's Kitchen used to be on Electric Road in Cave Spring, Virginia, and it's already beginning to capture the attention of many people around the area. I first heard about it through word of mouth from a Korean friend who knows a lot about Ramen. She talked so highly of it that I definitely wanted to go try it out soon. Today when I was going to dine out with a friend to a new little restaurant that had just opened, we weren't able to eat there because they were only accepting cash. So my friend did a search for other restaurants around the area and surprisingly he came up with Noodle Factory. And it didn't take long for both of us to decide to go eat there. When we arrived it was sprinkling rain, so I took the photograph of the front of the restaurant with its simple but cute sign from inside of the car my friend was driving, through the passenger window so as not to get my cellphone wet. A small colorful sidewalk sign was in front of the restaurant's building that read: "come on in! WE'RE OPEN." Once inside, we discovered a very clean and organized, contemporary looking restaurant, with light color hardwood floors, beautifully designed wooden tables and chairs. At the end of the restaurant there was a counter above an L shape brick wall painted white, with an open kitchenbehind it. And on the white wall next to the counter was a large size poster size copy of the menu. A young Asian lady warmly greeted and welcomed us behind the ordering counter and when we were ready, took our order. We both ordered the Spicy Shoyu Ramen with the non-spicy option as our main course. For appetizer we ordered a couple of Char Siu Pork Buns, and an order of Bamboo Shoots (Menma). To drink we both had a Strawberry Milk drink. What I loved most about the menu is that it contained a variety of items from the different Asian cuisines: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese cuisines. Although the Chef and Owner with his family were of Chinese origin. What an appropriate restaurant to review at the end of the month of May. Oftentimes we write about the taste of the food, but since this restaurant had an open kitchen and the Chef was there cooking in real time. The first thing we were able to enjoy from our table was the amazing smell of our food as it was being cooked. Especially the slices of the quality char siu pork belly. When our food was ready they called us to the counter to pick it up and we took it to our table. It was all amazingly delicious and filling. As we finished and were about to leave both the young lady and the Owner / Chef warmly check to see how we liked the food and we highly complimented it and their wonderful restaurant and customer service and we thank them for such an extraordinary dining experience. read more

Hi! I travel to Asia often. Moved here from the San Francisco Bay Area. Roanoke has been a desert of American style Asian food until we found Noodle Factory. EVERYTHING here. It's not just the best I've had in Roanoke. It's the best since being in Xian or Taipei. This place saved our lives! Finally quality Pho, Sumai, Bolgogi, I mean everything. Favorite spot in the ROA. read more

Noodle Factory - Chicken Katsu Curry - Ramen Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

We split the Spicy Shoyu Ramen and the Muchim Beansprouts. Both were excellent and both of us were stuffed to the gills. Owner was very nice and talked with us for several minutes about what a joke the Strokeanoke health and building departments were. No surprise there! We will definitely be back soon to try some different items on the menu...... read more

Food was just genuinely not good at all. They got our order wrong and refused to redo or reimburse. When we went the second time and got the correct food the noodles were hard and chewy. The ambiance was dull and boring. Will not be giving a 3rd try read more

I walked in and the smell was pure Heaven. The pork tonkatsu was melt in your mouth comfort food perfection. I am in no way Japanese but when I put that first spoonful of soup in my mouth even I felt like I was briefly blessed with a loving BaaChan cooking for me. The Unagi was sweet, savory and (pardon my southern-ness) Slap-yo-mama good. And I will definitely be back to try some of that yummy looking Pho!!!! read more

A bowl of noodles, a canned drink, and a tip was almost $20. But the noodles were very well worth it! The flavor was unmatched. Service was also excellent. 9/10 read more

Big portions and very tasty food! I had ramen and the Korean BBQ bun that were both 10/10. Great service too. Will definitely be coming back! read more

What a cool restaurant! The buns are amazing (try the Crispy Chicken Bun) and the huge entree portions are perfect for sharing. We liked the Spicy Beef Ban Mian the best! Can't go wrong with anything here. read more

Unfortunately This has to be some of the worst food I've ever had. I'm convinced anyone who thinks otherwise, has never actually had pho or ramen, or decent Asian food. If you like to wait a really long time For flavorless food I guess this is the place for you read more

The food is OK. But the pavement at the entrance is uneven. Please watch out if you're bringing elderly people or children -- two of us nearly tripped. When I brought it up, the owner mentioned that insurance would cover accidents, but ideally the problem should be fixed before anyone gets hurt. I also noticed staff handling food with bare hands, which raises some hygiene concerns. read more

This place is such a great place for affordable ramen and food. It was so good and I want to go back and try everything on the menu. You want to try this place. It's a small shop, expect a little wait but don't be in a rush and it will be worth it. read more

My new go to place :) Compare to where I from, ramen are usually 15 dollars, where here they serve the same for less money. read more

We tried The Noodle Factory for dinner tonight (Saturday), and while it was busy and we waited about 20 minutes for our food, it was MORE than well worth the wait. I can't pick a favorite item, even if I wanted to. We tried the Korean bbq bun, the crispy chicken bun, red braised beef noodles, beef pho, and crispy mandu. The owner was so kind, hard working, and welcoming. He was honest with customers as they came in about the wait time and apologized profusely. This is a wonderful new addition to the area! I'll be back again soon! read more

They have an updated the restaurant from when it was opened before. Good remodel. Enjoyed eating at the bar near the kitchen. I had the Spicy Beef Ban Mian. It was delicious!

Will definitely be back. read more
