I rarely write reviews unless exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. I was excited to go into…read moreSimonholt today having looked at the menu online. I ordered a beer and some takeout. The beer was good, server charming. When I got home, the side of coleslaw was mixed in with the sticky ribs (!!not even a separate container) and the ribs were so black and charred and crunchy (ouch), they perforated my tongue! Also, they mixed up my order with another patron, so if it hadn't been that I used the loo before leaving, I would have gone home with the wrong order. This was a Tuesday evening (4:30 ish), so not busy - in fact I don't recall seeing any tables occupied. JEEEEZ guys, what a let down!

Skipthedishes took over 3 hours and never came with an order from this restaurant. I called the…read morerestaurant and picked it up myself because the restaurant was going to close and I was hangry by that point. The food was good, that's why they get 2 stars but they allowed me a paying customer to be treated that way by skipthedishes with no apology. They just kept saying it's not us it's skipthedishes. At this point after the horrendous treatment by skipthedishes any restaurant I review is going to lose a star if they associate with skipthedishes. In this case they got 2 stars because they saw how I was directly affected by this crap and chose not to try and build any type of customer relationship in favor of just blaming skipthedishes. Also this place is really expensive. It cost me about $32 for 2 sandwhiches and a pickle. They were good sandwhiches but not worth $15 a piece, especially after it sits on a counter for 3.5 hours while waiting for a skipthedishes guy...

All the toppings were piled up in the middle there was nothing near the edges. First and last time I'll ever order from there. So I forgot I had tried this place and ordered two small thin crust.

It's a smaller property but it's always packed so maybe that just makes it seem smaller. Easy access off island highway.

I had the most disgusting experience eating here. I ordered food at this establishment and was…read moreappalled by their hygiene practices. First of all, I've eaten at other Noodle Box places where the cooks wear hair nets while preparing food and use gloves. Here, they used hygiene practices more typical of an underdeveloped country. There were no hair nets, no gloves, and, worst of all, the cashier who handled money did not wash his hands before touching the vegetables for my meal. He answered the phone, took money from customers and turned around to cut the vegetables for my dish without sanitizing, wearing gloves or washing hands. He then carelessly tossed my noodles onto my plate and finger picked the noodles that had slide-off the plate and put them back onto my plate without disinfecting his dirty hands. It was disgusting, to say the least. Customer beware!!! It's a shame because I've eaten at other Noodle Box places, particularly the one at Morgan Crossing in South Surrey, and expected the same level of hygiene here. Instead, it was disgusting. How is it acceptable for the cashier, who handles cash and answers phones, to handle food without washing or sanitizing their hands?

Downsides: Both times we've been the table size is hilariously small. Like a polly pocket sized table. Not ideal for more than 1. I also had a mild allergic reaction after dining. So worth noting for the sake of safety. Despite ordering all veg. Fish definitely was on a knife or a cutting board somewhere. As a regular veg sushi orderer this is always a risk, but only the second time it's happened to me.
