This Thai gen is hidden off Coit in strip malls. Looks can definitely be deceiving when describing this pot of gold. The restaurant closes at 10. We arrived at 8:50 and the place was slammed. The decor and ambience was welcoming, and the portions (from afar looked filling.) Anytime I eat Thai, shrimp in a blanket is a must. I appreciated the twist Noodle Wave brought. They were accompanied with the typical sweet and sour but also brought spicy mayo. My date ordered the chicken satay. Nothing to rave about. However, bring out the glow sticks! The Siracha beef bowl was incredible, and incredibly spicy because he ordered the hottest. If you like that heat- go for it! Both the need and the Siracha almond chicken I ordered come on a bed of jasmine rice. I smelled the aroma of the species when they brought my chicken: fried cutlets of chicken, minced almond a top jasmine rice with the Siracha and what tastes a bit like a blend of peanut sauce poured over. Service was perfectly timely, especially when it came to refilling our waters. I enjoy a good kick with my food but enough to be able to taste my meal. Noodle wave did that enjoyment justice! Look forward to my next visit. Two people are for $40 (4 dishes) that's a bargain, and we had left overs. They are not stingy with their portions. Note, it's not one of these places that loads up on rice and little protein. It was evenly distributed. For the curry and noodle lovers, the red curry and pad Thai look delectable and are served in enormous portions. read more

Met a friend here for dinner. Verdict? Very nice Thai place, better than most in Dallas, but nothing that completely wowed me enough to make the drive up. I had the green curry with chicken. This was a very meaty dish, 3 pieces of asian eggplant in the whole dish, and maybe a dozen green beans - would have preferred a better balance of meat and veggies. Despite that, the flavor was nice and balanced. I ordered heat level 2 (of 4) and it was just about right... hot enough to enjoy without being so hot that you can't taste the food... did clear the sinuses a bit though ; ) The outside looks like it would be a dive shopping strip restaurant, but inside the decor is fairly nice. The service was fast and friendly. If I lived close by, I would likely frequent it a lot. One nice thing - BYOB! read more

Not the same food as you will find in Thailand, but as far as Thai food fusion in Dallas is concerned, there isn't one better than noodle wave. The specials here are good, and he spiciness level here is pretty conservative. However a 6 will get you burning, even if you like some heat. The roti basil wrap here is amazing, it's just a special they run from time to time, but if you ask for it by the syllables I niicely spelled out for you, they will make it for you even if you can't find it on the menu. Finish everything off with the banana and icecream! read more

I came for lunch as though the hours indicate Noodle Wave is open until 2:30 the kitchen closes at 2:15 which was very unfortunate since we wanted to order additional dishes and dessert. Frustratingly, we told the waitress we wanted to put in additional orders, but she didnt come back before the kitchen closed. Anyway, we wanted to order more because the food was sooo good. We tried the shrimp blankets (you get $5 for around $5-$6), and it was good but I wouldn't necessarily order again; it came with 2 sauces, one a little tangier and the other creamy. As for entrees, we chose the fried chicken in green curry, and let me tell you the curry is pretty phenomenal, but the fried chicken is dry and slightly overcooked. This dish is also somewhat spicy; ask the waitress to tone down the spice if you can't take the heat. Order a side (or probably multiple a sides of roti because it is extremely delicious with the curry - $1.25 each) Also ordered the pad kee mow w/beef which is a bit on the sour side, which I enjoyed. Also very good is the free soup that comes with lunch -- in our case a flavorful congee with spring onions. Lunch specials for $10.95 that come with soup, spring roll, choice of 2 main dishes (curry or pad thai) and a dessert. Food comes out super hot so be careful if you're temperature sensitive. Bottom line: recommended. read more

She said: Delicious food, fun decor and quick service. Also generous portions, I took home leftovers and it's rare that I can't take down a platter of Pad Kee Mao. BYOB is a plus! He said: The fried chicken green curry was delicious; traditional Thai spices with a healthy dose of American southern goodness. Food-4, Service-4, Decor-4 read more

BLUF: Suburban Thai. Nothing to exciting but good. Located in a strip mall. Menu was standard thai. I got green curry chicken and it was definitely good but nothing too special. I dont remember what the others got but no one was blown away. Def good food and I would go again but probably wouldnt make a special trip, read more

Still one of my faves. Today I went in to get lunch to go. We got Spicy Soba with Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai. (If there is a website with a menu I could not find/it's difficult to find, so that is what keeps me from a 5) I walked in and was sat at the bar to order lunch. I ordered and was asked by 3 different people if I wanted water while I waited. I declined but nice to know they were covering their bases. After a few minutes a gentleman came over and laid down a cup of soup and a water. I said I had a to-go order and he said "yes it will be a few minutes so here." The soup was really tasty. It was a chicken broth with lots or rice, cilantro and something I could not put my finger on. I was happy to have tried it and eat it again. Still the same amazing service and great fresh food. We have never been disappointed here. read more

The McKinney and Frisco location have much tastier and better quality food than this location...

I want here after hearing alot of praise from few colleagues from Office, Claiming that " It's the BEST Thai ever in DFW area ". Reaching there and looking at the people standing outside the restaurant and waiting to be seated gave the little more boost that Food has to be nice. After we entered the place seems little congested and too crowded but taste is really good and worth every penny. I liked and service was okay [Slow to be precise] , may be the rush hour is the reason for it. Must try there Thai Tea [Really liked it alot] Great taste and lots of variety for both Veg / Non - Veg people. OVERALL: Definitely a YES for 2nd Time and will go back to try new stuff. I am taking 1 star off due to Less Space + Slow Service read more

This place is fantastic! First off, I came here during Ramadan with a friend to break fast together over thai food. When we sat down, the waitress asked us if we were fasting. We said yes, and a minute later she brought us two dates and water so we could break our fast on-time and not have to wait on the rest of the food to get here. We thought that was super kind and thoughtful of her! As for the food, we ordered the shrimp summer rolls, the sriracha beef and the pad see eew with chicken. Everything tasted delicious! The portions are generous too -- had leftovers for the next day. I will definitely be coming back to try out all of the other tasty options on the menu! read more

This is my go-to thai restaurant. Whenever the boyfriend and I are feeling thai, this is the only place we will go to now. The decor is nice, the staff is attentive, and the food is good. I think their prices are the best as compared to other thai restaurants around dallas. I find it ridiculous to pay $16 for a noodle dish at a (asian) restaurant. I can't remember how much their noodle dishes are but I think it ranges between $9 - $13, depending on your protein. My favorite is the spicy tung tac (spice level 3) and the boyfriend's is the pineapple fried rice. We always get the papaya salad (thai spicy) and we are dying from the spice. But it just burns so good! read more

Best pad thai in town!!! And I Love the Soft shell crab peanut dish!!!!! Really- I wish we lived closer because I love their food!

This is thai cuisine with Pakistani influence The decor is nice and modern The wait staff was polite and friendly The food shows quality cooking and attention to detail. Vegis are finely cut I had their papaya peanut salad. It was spicy even for me but delicious. And believe me I hardly ever say that about the salad We had ordered veg spring rolls those were good 3.5/5 Mongolian beef. Good. 4/5 Pepper steak very good - 4.5/5 Pad thai noodles - good 3/5 Fried ice cream cinnamon 4.5/5 Next time i am in Dallas i will definitely visit them read more

Noodle Wave is my addiction. I'll drive from all the way across town to go there! In fact, I live downtown, and I love it so much, I'll drive to Richardson just for take out. Pad Woon Sen - deelish. Panang Curry - I crave it Red Curry - OMG. They do curry better than anything I've ever tasted. I have shared this restaurant with at least 30 people in the past year or so. (in fact, Rick C. - another reviewer - is a good friend and I introduced him to it!) It's definitely a diamond in the rough - as the stores around it are kind of crazy. The atmosphere is amazing... they play amazing house music - not in your face, but soft. Would HIGHLY recommend :) read more

Very good compared to other Thai around the area. Packed with flavor, freshness, and people. My favorites here are the crispy herbal chicken and the tempura spinach, Both appetizers, but add on one other dish (like pad kee mow) all to share, and you have a perfect meal for 2. Atmosphere surprisingly sophisticated considering location. clean. Banana Leaf another good one. read more

All of the food I've had at Noodle Wave has varied between good and exceptional. I would recommend Noodle Wave, Oceanic Thai and Royal Thai as the three best Thai restaurants in Dallas. read more

This is a decent Thai food place. Make reservations, because this place gets very busy. Also the parking lot packed with a few unsavory characters as it is located in a strip mall. But then again the food is good. A bit pricey on the appetizers for the portions, the chicken satay was small pieces compared to other Thai restaurants. The wrapped shrimp was good, but the crab Rangoon with cream cheese was the best. The fried whole snapper fish was not flavorful enough as the fried garlic bits overpowered the fish and the side sauce to top the snapper was too fishy. The pad Thai noodles and fried rice with beef were very good, although the rice could have used a bit of sweet basil. But the evening was saved by the chicken Penang curry, which was really the topper. I say this because you could eat it on it's own or do as I did: I took the Penang curry and topped it on a slice of the fried fish, which brought out the flavor I was looking for. For dessert the fried ice cream, sticky rice with mangos and coconut ice cream were all very good. Not to sweet to send you into a diabetic coma, but your sweet tooth will thank you for it! read more

Wish I recall who recommended this place. Lived in a country that borders with Thailand.... absolutely love authentic Thai food. Was told this is the place to get it. Unfortunately as Bono sang- I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Decor is fine, majority of customers were surprisingly lovely beautiful Indian people. First waitress (skinny tall) wasn't delightful, didn't explain much, left. After we ordered realized there's a lil printout for kids meals. (our party has kids) that included ice-cream! aww...waitress/server lady.... should have pointed that out... The other server's were more pleasant. Food OK, special dish - Red Snapper with sauce .... not very fresh, loads of garlic to cover perhaps. Noodle dish.... hmmm.... probably cater's to local taste and spice level. Chicken satay was NICE! tender and juicy...delish peanut sauce, many other places...I've had it served tough n dry. MY lucky day! Ah......Noodle Wave.... shall I return for a second chance/try? read more

Went to Noodle Wave on a Sunday night with a guest. It was very packed! Noodle Wave offers dinner and lunch portions Monday through Friday which is a plus! Wish they offered that on the weekends as well! They offer halal food and from what I hear they are BYOB. They had the best pad thai I've ever had. My guest's green curry was delicious as well. They had polite and prompt service. The food tasted fresh and had a nice kick (got spice level 3 out of 4). This is officially our go-to Thai place!! read more

The food itself deserves 5 stars, but the service is a hit or a miss so I knocked 1 star out. I have been to this restaurant two times and always had a wonderful experience. Very busy on Friday night, so be prepared for the wait. I have tried their shrimp eggrolls,Pad see eew and the green curry with fried chicken. They were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Prices are reasonable. Best Thai restaurant that I have been to so far. Strongly recommend this place for excellent Thai food. read more

Food was full of sodium and the veggies were not fresh! The " glass noodles" were all clumpy :(

Hell yeah for this place hangover food from the gods! From bland to spicy as hades ass. The service if unbelievably great, everyone in the restaurant will assist you from server to host to manager just make sure you are happy. Been here a few times now and everytime I go in there some jerk is trying to make waves at the noodle wave. Uncool you ungrateful bastards if you bitch And complain just leave! All the nontippers or 10 percenters out there can eat it too! Those guys work hard and deserve better than your uncouth criticisms! I love the wave! read more

Noodle Wave is by far one of the greatest restaurants I've been to let alone the best Thai restaurant. I recommend either the Sriracha Beef Bowl or Almond Sriracha Chicken, both are unbelievably delicious and (depending on the level) spicy. It's also an excellent spot for Muslims as it's a completely halal restaurants i.e., there's no pork or alcohol available. One thing that I noticed is that they include peanuts in the majority of their noodles so in case you're allergic though I'm sure they're willing to accommodate to those types of situations. read more

Don't use for take out. 35 minute wait. It's great for a sit down spot. Great pad Thai terrible service.

We have booked a table for a group of 15 ppm in advance with Noodle Wave Richardson , staff there confirmed booking ,and we arranged our party. Later on- i called 1 hr before the reservation to remind them - and then their manager refused to honor their earlier commitment- saying Sorry, causing us lot of Frustration/discomfort at the last moment. We ended up changing the venue at the last moment on an emergency basis, causing lot of embarrassment. ppl/management at Noodle Wave are un professional and cannot honor their commitments, will never make any booking or visit them. read more

Food was very flavorful,spicy, and delicious! And healthy! Service was great. You must try.

Thai doesnt get any better than noodle wave. Dallas has some good thai, but based on the food alone, nothing else has come close. It's not just spicy, it's complex! And not to sound like a reverse racist, but I was the only white person in there, so at least a handful of non-white people think it's authentic and tasty, I like to think that helps validate my opinion. If you like curry, their panang is fantastic! Service was good, and it felt family owned or at least family oriented- some of the servers and managers were eating together at another table. The atmosphere is a peaceful reflection of Asian decor meets modern America- sleek metal chairs and tile backdrops with bamboo screens and soft but colorful, quirky lighting. The prices are reasonable at lunch but certainly more than expected for dinner. Parking is a little tough. There's a large lot in front but it does fill up. Lastly, call in orders are super quick and convenient! read more

Tried this place for dinner and was a happy diner indeed. I went with the curry with roti, as that dish has so many fans here on Yelp. Our server mentioned it was happy hour, and offered us an app or dessert on the house. We had the egg rolls and they were great. The curry was a sweet red curry with potatoes and chicken (my choice of protein). The roti was exceptional, flaky and buttery, and a great complement to the rich curry. The potatoes were not quite cooked through; that alone is the reason for 4 starts and not 5. I also tried hubby's drunken noodles and thought it an excellent dish. The food here is very rich, so I would probably choose something lighter next time. read more

Noodle Wave is a great family-run joint in North Dallas. Delicious Thai food for a reasonable price. The location is set in a strip mall on the North East corner of Coit and Campbell. The mall seems a bit sketchy from the outside, but the dinning room at Noodle Wave is nicely appointed and cozy. The service is efficient and friendly. Pad Kee Mow with Chicken was delicious. I also tried a Panang Curry with Tofu. They did a wonderful job with the tofu. It was lightly fried, but silky and delicious on the inside. The curry was sweet and spicy. Well done all around. Great for carry out. BYOB. A great value. read more

This place is amazing. Moved here from CA 4 years ago and have not found authentic Thai since moving here. Have to drive 45 minutes to get to this place but it is well worth it! Open a location in Keller, TX please!!!! The spice crab rice noodle dish is to die for. Sweet crab, light savory sauce, fresh but easy on veggies! Also don't forget to order the green papaya salad. Perfect blend of sour, salty, savory and sweet and is great both before or as a meal! Recommend this place absolutely! Flavored and ambience are spot on! read more

I have a few Muslim friends who only eat Halal, so we went to Noodle Wave to satisfy our appetites. Noodle Wave is relatively small, and during lunch time it is PACKED. We had to wait outside for a table, and after 15 minutes, decided that we should just get it 'to go.' Even after ordering our take-out food, it still was a 30 minute wait, which gave us just enough time to make it back to work and eat at our desks. With that said, the food was INCREDIBLE. I really really liked my Pad Thai, and I'm happy to finally have a place that lets you decide your spice level, instead of keeping it at a nice cool temperature for the American palate. I went with a level 3 and it was just right for me. I highly recommend it for a quick lunch (if you can get a table) and a nice change-up from the usual routine. read more

I'm now spoiled because no other Thai food measures up. I came here for my birthday with some friends and family. We orderer two apps- tempura water spinach and herbal chicken. Delicious! Entrees were green curry chicken, roti curry beef, and spicy pepper steak. Everything was as amazing as it was the first time I had it. I'll definitely be back soon. I can never stay away too long. read more

Hands down my favorite Thai restaurant in Dallas. Every time I've been, the food's been consistent. I've tried ordering different dishes too sometimes and I haven't been disappointed. My favorite dish here though is the roti curry. That's what got me initially hooked. Their presentation on the food is nice. The decor is pretty. The service has been generally good with nice staff. It's definitely somewhere I bring all my out of town guests and local friends to try and they've all really liked it. It's BYOB as well so that's always a plus. Love this place! read more

We devoured everything as soon as they served it. Gina gave wonderful attentive service . Best food and value in Dallas . BYOB Also with no corkage fee. read more

Noodle wave at its best is phenomenal. A place I rave to friends, coworkers, and everyone in between. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have placed it in the below average category. I just don't know what I will be getting when I enter- out of this world, fresh, aromatic, well seasoned food of days past or day-old-tasting, rubbery, pungent food as recent experience indicates. I don't think I've ever been to a restaurant where the food quality has oscillated so severely. And don't get me started on the service. To sum it up: absolutely dismal. Sadly it may be time for me to move on and get my weekly drunken noodle fix elsewhere. read more

My food taste like they have someone who is not an authentic Thai cook. Pad Thai was overcooked dry and bland I'm not sure why I told him medium spicy so he should've had some sort of flavor even a sprinkle of salt it was awful and I eat Thai in other states as well what a disappointment the worst meal of my entire trip to Texas this week. Shrimp was over cooked as well. There are a ton of other Thai restaurants in the area, wish I didn't go here. read more

Doing a review, came here back in 2015. Been a while since I came back but from what I remember it was good. Wait wasn't long. Food came out fresh and pretty quick. The curry was smooth and not too watery. Not salty, I would say just right, well the coconut fatty taste kinda of too much. Overall I liked it, will come back and try different items. read more

We went back here many times after my first review and took atleast 10 of our friends here. Their roti curry is still the go to item on the menu. Their curry fried rice is great as well. The water spinach appetizer is amazing and a must try. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend and I was glad they did. Best Thai in the Dallas area, hands down. I ordered the chicken satay appetizer with red curry dipping sauce that was so good I wanted to eat it by itself. There were some chopped red and green peppers with red onions in a sweet honey like sauce that were really good as well. For lunch I had the Basil Chicken, thai hot (level 4). It was excellent t with a hint of sweet. If you haven't been I highlight recommend you go. One piece of advice, if you're going for lunch get there before Noon or you'll be waiting for a table. This place gets packed, daily. read more
