Got the spicy peanut noodle, scorching. Boy does it have a punch, hiccups from the first bite. Nice peanut taste nice and think mixed it before I did a photo read more

Noodlebox - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This location is too busy after paying they told me it would be 20-25 minutes if i had known i wouldn't have ordered as i had a meeting to go to the order had barely any veggies in it and all the rice on the bottom was chunks of white rice that didn't get tossed or fried just plain white lumps too many people inside waiting read more

worst tasting food everytime!! At least they're consistent! I order in a lazy weak moment when they offer a deal. Always a mistake! Never tastes like Asian street food and the characteristic Noodlebox flavour profile! Actually disgusting flavour. read more

tried the new restaurant at Royal Oak. Ordered the spicy peanut noodles with crispy chicken. Chicken not crispy. Paid extra for additional onions and peppers and there were none to start with, never mind additional. Paid extra for mango and got 3 pieces. I will think hard about ordering anything from this franchise again. $18.50 for $5 worth of ingredients. read more

It is sad to see how far Noodlebox has gone downhill. I understand pandemic and all, but this particular branch is just poorly cared for. it is June and there are still Christmas decorations up, the floors, tables and counters are dirty, and the washrooms are just awful. The food is still the same formula, but the care to the restaurant is seriously lacking. read more

I should have read the reviews first. I wanted some hot noodles on a cold night. This was literally inedible. Theres just no coherent flavor of Asian noodles at all. Tastes like something a frat boy made when he was drunk using every sauce and spice in the cupboard. An abomination. Threw it all out. God that was brutal. Do not eat here. read more

Conveniently located at Uptown Mall making it accessible by personal & public transportation; this makes for an excellent dine-in or take-out for noodle lovers. Everytime I come to Victoria (although there are Noodlebox is Vancouver that I rarely go to) I make a stop here. Why? Like I mentioned it convenient to get to; the food is fresh and only cooked over a fire once ordered (no heat lamps). They will also allow you to swap noodles if you'd prefer a different noodle than what is in the description of the specific dish. The restaurant is always clean with music that is not too loud or too quiet. They even serve some adult drinks (beer). The only reason they are losing a star is because I believe they've toned it down on the level of "hot" and the amount of protein in each serving. Makes me wonder why I'm still paying about $15/dish read more

Noodlebox - Cambodian Jungle Curry w/ Hokkien noodles replacement + combo protein (chicken & shrimp) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

See all

I had the Cambodian Jungle Curry and it was good. My problem is that I had the same bowl a few years ago and let's just say... 'shrinkflation' has taken hold of Noodle Box. There was BARELY any chicken in my bowl and when I complained, I was told 3 ounces is standard. I'm not sure if folks know how much chicken 3 ounces is... but it's minimal. The bowl overall was much smaller than it was and the price was still north of 15 dollars. Disappointing at best. read more

I'm surprised by all if the negative reviews. I can me here with my family snd everyone enjoyed their food. It certainly isn't cheap fast food, but that's not what we wanted. Service was good, food was good, if we had one at home we would go often. I was tired of "bistros" and "cafes" and this was perfect. read more

Very slow service for a fast food joint, very mediocre bland food - way too expensive for value - one of those place you have to pay for "protein" because the $10 base bowl is just rice noodles and slim on veggies Not impressed - will not be back read more

Hubby introduced me to Noodlebox when I first moved to Victoria in 2009. It was love at first bite - complete with blood and tears. I may have tasted their hottest spice and it may have made me cry. However, dang was it ever delicious! My favorite dish was always the Cambodian jungle curry, but it has since given way to the Bombay Mac & cheese. read more

Rude service. Was told 30 minutes for the food to be ready for takeout. When I came back 30 minutes later I was told another 10 minutes which I was ok with. When I came in 10 minutes later the woman ridiculed me saying "you were just here" and "we just did this." Not worth the hassle to order food here. read more

It's not worth the money... I waited 20 minutes for thai style chow mein box and for the protein I got chicken so I finally got my food and they forgot the chicken so I had to wait again and when they gave it to me it was barely any chicken in it. I don't think I'm ever going to come back here read more

Small portions and staff was rude and totally dismissive when I asked about them changing takeout to plastic container. uptown mall in Victoria last time I'm taking my business there read more

It's almost as if they have given up in there? Soooooo Inconsistent everytime ive been in there, sometimes the box is full, sometimes 3/4 full, sometimes the sauce is runny, sometimes not, sometimes it tastes good, sometimes not... Honestly a bit of a joke, needs better management? read more

Very slow, my order took 30 minutes to come out. But the food is good, although the serving portion is small.

Ordered the kids noodle box with additional meat (beef). There was barely any meat exactly 4 pieces that were around the size of a quarter. I ordered to go and the box was only 3/4 full. The noodles were drenched in sauce, and it was overly salty. I would advise any customer to eat these noodles with a glass of water; I had to take a sip of water with each bite due to the excessive salt. The downtown location is much better and I would advise eating there instead. read more

Noodlebox - Noodles drenched in very salty sauce. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Ordered online at 4:10 for pick up at 5:30. Arrived at 5:25 and got to the counter at 5:28. Told our order would be 5 minutes. Still nothing by 5:55 although the Skip the Dishes people were in and out without a wait. Back in the line and got to ask about our order and was told they were working on it right now. More Skip the Dishes people. Finally got our order at 6:10. Would have been quicker to order from Skip the Dishes and have it delivered to us in the parking lot. read more

Hit and miss, they're a busy spot so that probably factors in. When they get it right it's great

Came here a few times, thought it was OK. Quickly realized it wasn't as OK as I thought. Each time the food seemed a little worse. Went with the lady, she ordered some pretty hot stuff as she loves spicy and I ordered mild. Mine was stupid hot and inedible, hers wasn't spicy at all. Waste of $15+ per dish. White dudes cooking our noodles pooped the bed. read more

I've been here 5 times and can confidently give it a mediocre 2 stars. Consistent in my experience every time: - At least a 20 minute wait and sometimes 30 for takeout. Even for non peak hours, the wait is brutal. - Request for non-spicy always results in very spicy. I wonder if they even clean their woks after every dish or if it's just permanently lined with pepper? - Severe lack of taste in every dish I've tried. Especially the fried rice which simply tastes like rice and a lot of pepper. The "Asian inspired" dishes they have on the menu should be bold in flavour but fall very flat. Maybe they should revisit their recipes but I guess authentic is not what they are going for anyways. I will not be returning to this place. read more

I used to really love eating at the noodle box but the last few times at this location in particular, I have been let down. Dishes lack sauce and flavour for the $$$ you pay. First off, it took almost 40 minutes. The girl taking my order let me know that it might take that long so I was ok waiting as I was anticipating that I would have a really yummy dish to chow down on. Unfortunately, I was VERY disappointed. I ordered 'pad thai' to go with extra add ons (i was wanting a combo of prawns, chicken, tofu) that I paid extra for turning a $13.00 dish into over a $20.00 dish. When I went to pick it up, my food was on a plate under the heat warmer and they forgot it was to go. No big deal, they packed it to go. but when I got to my hotel, The noodles were dry, not one prawn to be found, and flavour wise, it was not pad thai in the least. :( When I called to let them know I was disappointed, she wanted to argue with me saying i ordered extra chicken instead of prawns. I didn't have time to wait another 40 minutes for the right order so I told them that I would eat the cost and that I wouldn't return there again. So sorry!! read more

This place was recommended for their excellent and innovative noodle dishes.. but sadly, it was neither. Our family got 4 different noodle dishes and all of them lacked flavor and consistency. Probably the worst meal we had in Victoria... Definitely will not return to any of their locations. read more

Went in at a low-traffic time of day and waited 20+mins for my take away order. Went to the counter to inquire after 20 mins. A few mins earlier, I'd seen the cashier take 2 items off the line and put them to the side without calling anyone's names. Turns out one of those was mine and it had been sitting for 5 mins cooling off for no apparent reason. Terrible service. read more

Our last day in Victoria and so glad we stopped for lunch before Getting on the ferry. Really great food, superb staff. The portions were huge. read more

Good tasting stir fry, huge portions, friendly staff, our meal started off so well. Our shared bowl of pork spicy peanut noodles unfortunately brought on a serious bought of food poisoning. I will spare you the details. Needless to say, I am horribly disappointed and we cannot return to that location. Somebody isn't washing properly in there. read more

Noodlebox - Spicy pork peanut noodle stir fry with extra veg ;) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

The first time I went to Noodle box in Langford I was pleased with the atmosphere, the concept, the food and the service. I now have been 3 times in a month at Uptown location and every time I was disappointed.  My friend's dish (Singapore cashew curry) was spicy but tasteless, she had to add a lot of lime juice and soy sauce to jazz it up. I ordered the veggie gyoza and got the meat ones. The tom yom soup used to be HUGE and tasty. Forget it.  Finally, the stupid LOUD reggae music is always blasting amidst the CONSTANT, overly exaggerated and useless clanking of the woks and pans. It makes you wonder if they don't do it on purpose to annoy people.  The good news is that I won't be missing noodle box when I leave Victoria! read more

The food is consistently decent, but I can't handle the wait anymore. Tonight was kind of a last straw. It was a 30 minute wait, so I walked out and ran an hour of errands, then tried again. It was a 40 minute wait. Walked out. I seem to walk out more than I actually get food. Instead, I went to a far better authentic Thai place, ordered, got home and was eating before I would have even had a Noodle Box order in my hands. They can't handle the demand. Sorry to say. read more

I'm not too sure exactly what happened to this location. when they first opened it was good! the food was good, the atmosphere was good and staff was friendly. two of those three are still true but one of the most important things are missing since about after 3 months of its coming to uptown. the quality of the food has gone down juristically which is sad because I used to frequent. fortunately, every other noodle box on the island it good so it makes up for the Uptown Locations Shortcomings. that being said if you are at uptown and want a bite and don't mind the above issues I've had. I would recommend the Spicy Peanut it is my fave and as far as I know it has become the most popular choice at almost all the locations. read more

Ordered a spicy pad Thai box WITH chicken, order took 20 minutes to make. When I took it home and opened it, there wasn't any chicken in the whole box. This is a the second time it's happened. I paid around $5 more for chicken, it's just a waste of money. The pad Thai noodles are good themselves, but just check your to go boxes if you order take out. read more

We eat here often because it's one of very few places around that are Celiac safe and gluten free for my daughter which we very much appreciate! We love the food, however like others say, they add very little chicken to our meals which is too bad. But it's always delicious and friendly service. read more

Got my order in a good time but both times ordering I have been finding they are pretty light on the toppings and protein.

The new cooks are doing OK. Service was fast and friendly. As for wheelchair access, the washrooms were OK and there are smaller table at the back past the booths that are easy enough to reach. I liked this place and see it as a healthier alternative to the regular fast-food fare. read more

Really good. I came in solo for a quick sit down early dinner and got my food within 10 min. I ordered the spicy peanut noodle box with beef, and it was delicious and filling. I ordered it medium hot spicy and it definitely could have been hotter. Now I know for next time. read more

WARNING: Don't read this if you have a weak stomach. Ok. So my family took me to this place on the second day of our British Columbia vacation. The restaurant Red Fish Blue Fish had an outrageous line and we were hungry. My dad suggested this place because of a co-worker's recommendation. We walked in and was greeted with a friendly asian guy behind a counter and ordered. Food arrived quickly. I loved my food. I ordered the chow mein noodles. It was delicious- or so I THOUGHT. Fast forward to about 4:30 pm back in our hotel room... I'm feeling VERY nauseous and I don't have a weak stomach so my parents were very concerned. I'll spare you all the details. Long story short, I got severe food poisoning from this place and the evidence was right in front of me. NEVER AGAIN. IF YOU DON'T WANT FOOD POISONING, DONT EAT HERE. YOU'RE WELCOME. read more

This place is really the only "fast food" I ever get. It's generally tasty, you can get extra veggies, and they have a decent variety. Asian inspired fusion type - starch (rice, noodles), meat and veg with a sauce formula. I really wish they would stop pulling my favourites off the menu with each update though! Red curry anyone?? And bring back the coconut curry noodles... My main complaint is that the quality and spice levels are extremely variable. I usually get medium spice because I like a bit of kick and I've had it everywhere from nothing at all to knock-the-roof-off-my-mouth-off hot depending on the day. If I try to compensate by upping or downgrading the spice next time, it always backfires. I got the ginger beef today, which I've had before, and usually it's tasty and the beef is crunchy and crisp, but today the beef was stodgy and slimey and flavourless, no ginger, no spice at all, (ordered medium) just a sickly sweet sauce with no flavour. Won't be getting that again. Anyways, usually it's alright and pretty tasty. Just bad luck today I guess. read more

I used to eat here for 5 years before I moved away. The gaping hole in my chest is where my heart used to be but I must have accidentally left it at noodle box read more

Used to be that Noodlebox was a great place. No longer, for $13.50 I had a Phad Thai with 5 pieces of pre-cooked chicken, bagged coleslaw and rice noodles and sauce - oh and let's not forget the peanuts and bean sprouts. It was awful and they will never see my custom again. My niece, her birthday had the ginger beef, 5 pieces on 2 cups of jasmine rice and oh yes, bean sprouts! Skimping on ingredients not a good plan Noodlebox :( read more

Very tasty ! I've never been there before and will definitely be back. A lot more food then I thought came out of that little box. I loved the vibe in there as well. read more
