    Steamed shumai
    Dennise K.

    I was at the nearby Boston University campus to act in a student film and on my way back to my car, I decided to pop in for dinner before braving Boston traffic on my way home to Rhode Island. So glad that I did because not only was the food absolutely delish, I had to double check that I was still in Boston because the prices were so reasonable! My server was a pure delight, too!

    drunken noodles
    Hugh Jass H.

    I liked this place! We got drunken noodles, a noodle soup (I don't remember which one) and shrimp pad Thai. It was all a satisfying meal after touring BU and Berklee. We enjoyed it. The shrimp tasted fresh and slightly crispy and the noodles were very flavorful. The food came very fast, which we were pleased with and prices aren't bad at all! Our waitress was very kind and willing to chat with us. The location of the restaurant is convenient and it has a comfortable feel inside.

    Vegan Drunken Noodle

    I was surprised to see this place only had three stars, I loved the dishes I ordered. I ordered pick up and was not disappointed. The portions were huge and not super expensive - I was able to enjoy my noodles over the course of three meals. I ordered the veggie drunken noodles with fried tofu and scallion pancakes with a peanut sauce. The drunken noodles were delicious, the fried tofu soaked with the sauce was an explosion of flavor. My only wish was it was a bit spicier. The scallion pancakes were crisp and I strongly recommend getting the peanut sauce on the side, the combination is great!

    The reviews on Yelp don't reflect this, but I actually prefer Noodle St to Nud Pob for their Pad See Ew, the one time I tried both (in the same week too lol). The noodles were not broken up or over cooked, the sauce was familiarly sweet and salty, there was a good amount of broccoli and tofu, and all in all was a good portion size. I did find a piece of chicken in my vegan noodle dish though, which was very sad to see but I am not allergic at least. It got very very busy right at 12:15, but we were still served pretty promptly and service was good. All of my friends also enjoyed their meals, though the fried rice was noted as very spicy. All in all will definitely be back, though hopefully there is no more food cross contamination.

    I got the spicy miso ramen and didn't like it. I felt that it was very bland. The pork was also over cooked and it didn't include an egg- I thought an egg was standard in ramen dishes? I tried my friends pad Thai. It was sooooo good. I will be returning here to have the pad Thai dish! The service was just ok, this was because they were very understaffed. It looked like 1 cook and 1 server for the entire restaurant rom what I could see. Seems like a cool spot for BU students.

    I've been visiting Noodle Street on and off for 13 years, I realized recently. I don't live in the area anymore, but it holds such a sweet spot in my memory that I always go back if I am nearby. I went recently, and am happy to report that nothing has changed over the years, and the noodles are still top notch. I've eaten so many different dishes here, which is easy to do given the variety of their menu. You can build your own bowls, or choose curry, or (my favorite) the duck noodles! Have I had better, yes? Do I still come to Noodle Street, you bet I do. What I'm saying is that this place is by no means the best Asian food you'll get. Their menu is completely overwhelming and the space is sparse. Service is efficient and otherwise unremarkable. But they're reliable, and solidly good at what they do.

    Kenny K.

    They charge you $5 for a bowl of extra noodles! If that is not a scam I don't know what is. Food is quite mediocre. I got boat noodles, but the broth had no taste. The vegetables that went in were uncooked, so I had to chew on hard carrot pieces with the noodles.

    Good food, but portion is a little small for the price. Overall taste is great. Here is a picture

    Noodle street is a BU classic, I go here when I'm craving Asian food and don't want to travel very far as I live a 5 minute walk from here. I have discovered that dine in the food quality to me feels better than when I order take out. I will typically get the Tom yum pad Thai with tofu or chicken, very satisfying

    Inside

    The noodle is not a noodle for ramen. It's udom. Too over cooked. Soap is lower average. Not bad. But I won't come back, ChaSyu: think slice type. Hard type. This is also not bad. Conclusion: if you want really Ramen ASAP. Maybe this one is good shot. But if you have 10min more, go get another one.

    Bea T.

    Yumo!!! Very affordable best placed to eat if you are Thai food fan! And for the cost! You cannot be this deal. This is ideal for anybody who is attending school at bu or if you're a resident around the area. You will not be disappointed. The portions are very generous great bang for your buck!

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.

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.

    TLDR: Potentially…read moreone of my favorite Chinese restaurants in all of Massachusetts! Beautiful interior, centrally located, and delicious, high-quality food. Will definitely find a reason to come back here soon. ------ FOOD: 1. [MUST TRY] STIR-FRIED CABBAGE W/ PORK BELLY (5/5) Presentation was phenomenal (in a clay pot with its own burner underneath to keep it hot). The portion was much larger than expected, and most importantly, it tasted incredible. Generous amounts of pork in this, and the sauce was authentic and addicting. 2. SCALLION CHICKEN (5/5) Another great choice. This was a huge portion with lots of tender chicken, and the scallion was present without being overpowering. 3. CRISPY BEEF WITH FRIED DOUGH STICKS (5/5) I was expecting Chinese you tiao but these were actually the small, ultra crispy manhua twists! Paired with the beef, this was a large and unique dish that I loved. The crispiness of the mahua made this a textural delight to eat. 4. MANGO SAGO DESSERT (5/5) Big portion, wonderful assortment of toppings including grapefruit, mango, sago, and popping balls over a creamy dessert soup base. 5. PEKING DUCK (4/5) I think I'm a tough critic since I just came back from Beijing and had so much Peking duck there. We ordered the half portion here and it had a generous amount of meat for not being the full portion. There were an assortment of accompaniments, including pineapple (new to me) and sugar (like the Beijing style) which were welcome additions. The wrappers were steamed well and didn't curl up on the edges. Overall this was a solid Peking duck, but the meat wasn't as standout as I was hoping. 6. STEAMED PORK SOUP DUMPLING (4/5) Solid soup dumplings. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely hit the spot. 7. SAUTEED PEA SPROUTS (4/5) Another solid classic. 8. PORK MEATBALL IN CRAB MEAT SAUCE (4/5) This was the most unique thing we ordered. I've never had a shi zi tou meatball with crab meat sauce before. The meatball itself was large (maybe size of a tennis ball), tender, and fatty, as it should be. It was then drowned in a generous lake of traditional crab meat sauce. If you're not a fan of crab meat then this might be a bit too fishy for you, but honestly it all combined surprisingly well and I grew to like this dish more and more with each bite. I wasn't the biggest fan to start, but by the end I wouldn't have minded getting another one! ------ AMBIANCE / ENVIRONMENT: * The interior has the classic Asian style of decor, but you can tell it was recently built / renovated because everything felt new and fresh. * The ambiance also felt more new-school luxurious vs. the typical Asian establishments that are more no-frills with as many tables packed in as possible * You're still somewhat close to the tables around you, but it's not overwhelming during lunch time and we still felt like we had enough space regardless * There's a bar area at the front of the restaurant and then a large, spacious dining room in the back * This is a great place for a date or a meaningful family gathering * Right outside is Boston Common, making this restaurant very well-located for lunch before or after a nice day in the park. While there's lots of parking around the park, a spot itself can be hard to come by, so your best bet might be to use the nearby parking garage instead ------ SERVICE: * Overall the service was great and quick. They did forget our tea, but when we asked for it later they apologized profusely and were quick to bring it out for us * This place fills up quickly so be sure to come early if you don't have a reservation or if you're a big enough group, make a reservation for your desired dining time

The restaurant focuses mostly on soba or udon noodle dishes with a good selection between hot and cold options. It's not going to be the best udon or soba you've ever had. HOWEVER, I tried the cold ikura & uni cold soba and LOVED it. It's seasonal, so I tried that one out and was extremely surprised about how much I enjoyed the bowl. Not too much soup and the uni didn't completely obliterate when I stirred it up. They do use American wasabi though, and I found it superfluous to the dish and wished it was served on the side. But regardless, despite not having some extremely high quality noodles, the flavor and experience of the bowl itself was super pleasant. I ended up coming back the very next day because I wanted to try their clam soba. The clam soba only comes hot, which is a bit unfortunately because I actually think a cold clam soba with some lemon or yuzu would be phenomenol. I've been seeing recipes for it online so I've been wanting to try it, but their clam soba is a lot more standard and hot. They had a very good amount of clams in it, but I generally like their cold soba better. Still good, but didn't give me that feeling of needing to come back the very next day like I did with the ikura-uni combo. Overall, I'd still come back when I'm in downtown!
