I wrote about the importance lace once but I feel the need to do an update. I continue to be impressed with the service and quality of food that I have experienced here. I went for lunch last week and Param Noodle. It was absolutely packed with flavor. The rich creamy peanut sauce made my mouth sing with joy. The flat noodles were cooked perfectly and the chopped peanuts on topped added just the right texture contrast needed for the dish. I added chicken for my protein and the white meat chicken was moist and tender. I was so pleased I went back the next day for lunch with a friend. She order the Pla Rad Prik (spice level 4 peppers), and I ordered the garlic fried rice. She had never been and thoroughly enjoyed the food. This is a place I will continue to visit on a regular basis and introduce to friends. Keep up the great work! read more

Last two visits sitting down have been amazing. Pleasant staff, delicious food. Having fun exploring different options.

So I typically get delivery for this restaurant, but I wanted to get soup and I prefer to eat at the restaurant for soup. It's very lovely inside and clean. They no longer have a separate vegetarian section on the menu however, I was able to ask the weight staff which soups could be vegetarian. I was told all of the soups except two of them can be made vegetarian. I asked for mild however this was extremely spicy for me. Next time I will say no spice and ask for the chilies on the side. I thought it was flavorful and very good. I will continue to order takeout or delivery and come again. read more

I had the chicken larb and pork ramen from Roodle recently and everything was wonderful including the packaging when it was delivered. Everything was fresh and you could tell the owners take very good care of their customers. I will definitely be back to order more items off the menu. Especially the drunken noodles, they look fantastic! read more

I first tried Roodle years ago when I ordered the Spicy Chicken Miso Ramen while sick - still one of my favorite choices! Recently I dined-in with my sister and niece. We each had boba drinks, and split Veggie Curry Puffs for an app - not sure what the dip was but it was good. My niece had the Chicken Pad Thai, my sister had the Spicy Basil Chicken Fried Rice, and I had the Pineapple Chicken Fried Rice. Our food was very flavorful, FRESH, and generously portioned! read more

We order take out from here often. There is new management for the past year or so. Online ordering is intense. Everything is customizable but overwhelmingly so. I added on avocado to a dish that probably doesn't usually have it so I received a call asking where I wanted it - on it or on the side. I was like on the side I guess? Ordered green curry fried rice Sunday night and it was so salty I was up all night thirsty. Monday I had the leftovers around 4pm and I had to drink water from 4pm until midnight. I had about 4 bottles of water. I was so thirsty! They must have put a pound of salt in it. Also the dumplings we used to love they don't put the carrots or cilantro on anymore. Last two times I ordered the green curry it wasn't very flavorful. Tasted more like hot milk it's like they forgot an ingredient. Used to love this place but haven't been impressed lately. read more

Great Thai spot! Not many food spots are open that late around here besides bars, fast food and diners. We were lucky to find this place. We showed up at 8:30, it closes at 9:30, they welcomed us kindly. Parking is easy, lots of spots right in front. We sat outside because I had my dog with me. We ordered the Drunken Noodle Beef, #1 spicy. It was still spicy! But delicious, both the meat and noodles cooked very well. The presentation was beautiful. We also ordered the Calamari which was good, not amazing, but the 2 sauces that it came with were very tasty. We will definitely be back again to try some other dishes. And they have Boba too!! read more

We have been to Roodle many times and have never been disappointed. I fully recommend checking out this spot.

Had time to stop by to have a quick dinner. Ordered the spicy eggplant but it was sold out. Instead I ordered pumpkin curry dish. Never had one before. I was pleasantly surprised about the taste and heat. The veggies were cut a bit too large for my liking. I would try this spot again read more

Loved this place! I'm visiting from California and found Roodle on Yelp. The restaurant was so cute and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We ordered the calamari, drunken noodles with beef, and the spicy basil beef fried rice. Everything was so good. I loved the creamy sauce that came with the calamari and the batter was really good. The drunken noodles and fried rice was delicious. The portions were perfect enough to share between 2 people. read more

One of our favorite spots! The prices here are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Service is friendly and quick, and the restaurant is clean. The coconut shrimp appetizer is great, not too sweet and the sauces it comes with complement the shrimp. I like that they have a separate vegetarian section on their menu. I had the sukiyaki tofu ramen which was really good and super filling. My husband had the pad Thai with shrimp and he said it was one of the best pad Thai dishes he's had. We definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food in a casual setting. read more

Stopped on the way to Boston, the food was good, unique varieties of fried rice. Which we haven't seen in other Asian restaurants. Very quick service read more

The food is incredible. However, I recently placed a takeout order and entered zero on the tip line because it was a pick up order. If it were delivery or dine in, I'd certainly leave a tip. I was initially charged accurately. A couple days later the charge was updated to include a $5 tip! Someone at the restaurant changed it. This is robbery. read more

I ordered beef pho. It tasted fishy and the beef was all fatty. I didn't end up eating it because it was not very good. The lavender smoothie was good but very milky. The food did come out quick however. It is small inside and has kind of hidden seating in the back. It's kind of dark as well. read more

The food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and kind. Beautiful inside and lots of tables. Highly recommend!

First time here and the food, service and experience was amazing! Definitely will be back to try more dishes. read more

A really good selection on the menu. Got coconut shrimp, a noodle soup, and the duck roti roll. It was a lot of food and SO GOOD! The service was fast, the restaurant was clean and comfy. We got a honeydew smoothie and Thai iced tea. Everything was wonderful. Can't wait to go back read more

I had high expectations given other reviews. The place was clean and the tables were spaced well so you weren't sitting with others. The staff was attentive and helpful. The food was just ok, the flavors weren't as good as other noodle houses and one of our dinners wasn't quite as warm as it should have been. It is a one and done for us. read more

We were on a drive from NJ to MA and I had such a craving for a noodle spot and this one hit the spot! We arrive at 8:30 and I knew they were closing at 9:30, so we were grateful to make it there after reading their great reviews. We started with steamed dumplings-very tasty. I had the Duck noodle soup and it hit the spot! Very flavorful and piping hot with a good portion of duck and substantial noodles and veggies in the bowl. My husband had the Duck Roti and he said it was well made with the right amount of crunchy veggies and duck. Our son had the Pad Kar Pao Gai and Egg and he was expecting a bowl but wound up loving this plated presentation. This will likely be a new go-to stop for our many trips to/from NJ-MA! There were also some cute straw bags for sale which I will have to take more time to look at next time as well. read more

Was visiting CT & came by here. They were doing indoor dining and were able to seat a party of 6. Really nice/diverse menu. Ended up getting the Spicy Miso Ramen w/ Chicken. Spice flavor was good, and broth was nice. Noodle was also really well done. The chicken was probably my favorite part of the ramen dish though! Apps were dumplings & calamari fries which both tasted really good. Also for the Thai tea which tasted nice! Would recommend overall if you're looking for a good Thai spot! read more

This place is amazing!!!! It was the second time going and I was once again very pleased with what I ordered. We had the Coconut Shrimp as a starter. Amazing sauces and the shrimp tasted very fresh. Also love how I could taste the coconut in it! The House Fried Rice Chicken platter was great! Very big serving, I got to take leftovers (that also tasted great after reheating). Spicy Miso Ramen was great too. My husband loved how spicy it was and said the ramen tasted fresh. Service was great as well, our waitress was very attentive and patient with us. There is also plenty of seating! read more

Food is absolutely fantastic and addictive!!! Delicious appetizers, especially the corn fritters yum! Curry puffs too. Fried rice was delicious. When you order it "extra spicy" they actually give it to you extra spicy! read more

This was my first time at Roodle Rice & Noodle Bar. It was a quick lunch with a friend of mine on a Friday afternoon. We were the only patrons in the restaurant so as soon as we ordered, our food was quickly prepared. I got the pineapple fried rice with shrimp, which was pretty good and spicy. We didn't spend much time here besides eating and heading out shortly after. It's worth checking out for a lunch experience. read more

The food here is always delicious. Today I tried a new dish and was NOT upset. The Tiger Tear Beef is now undoubtedly my favorite. The service was a little slow this time but not too bad. This is a very nice place for a first date or even a date night out with your special loved one. read more

I'm really impressed with the quality of the food here at Roodle, which does a very good take on Thai/southeast Asian fusion cuisine. The standout dish for me was the Pad See Ew, which was wonderfully balanced, not oily, although I always want more veggies in this dish. The Shrimp Curry has wonderful aroma but the curry could be thicker and more flavorful, and the various fried rice dishes are delicious, and not dry. read more

My friend/coworker took me here for lunch for something different from the usual pizza, sushi or Mexican. It's a very unassuming spot in a strip mall. The inside was nicely decorated and most importantly in this hot summer day, had nice cold AC. Everything on the menu looked great, separated by rice dishes, noodles, soup, salad and other entrees. Lots of vegetarian options. It leans towards Thai dishes, but offers other Asian options as well - dumplings, ramen, and Chinese entrees. The service was quick and friendly. We started with the dumpling appetizer which was delicious. My friend ordered the curry duck and I ordered the tiger tear beef. We were both incredibly happy with our dishes and though the portions were generous, we both finished our dishes. My friend gets take out here once a week or so and says they are consistently very good but that dining in was even better. Highly recommend this hidden gem! read more

I'd give 0 stars if I could~ Ordered meals to pickup (drunken noodle beef and coconut sticky rice) food overall tasted fine and was all in all standard Thai food Fair. Woke up the next morning with the worst case of food poisoning I've ever experienced. I had to call out of work as I was so ill and to the point of running a 102 fever. Finally felt I was on tail end 14 hours later - called restaurant to complain and see if they'd reimburse my purchase or at very least look into it what cause it. Staff was very defensive, saying no one else had called them with complaints, and maybe the "spicy sauce" caused it. Even asked me what my symptoms were (they got the very detailed TMI version‍) too be clear I love spice- and spicy food does not give you the symptoms I had let alone a fever. Overall did not seem to care that the food made me so incredibly sick. They took my number and promised the boss would call me back. Been no word on it for over a day - so I will be reporting to the public health department. Rice based food poisoning is dangerous. Im glad no one with a worse immune system ate what I had as they could have been hospitalized from it. I'll still recovering over 48 hours later. I will never eat here again- and I suggest others don't either. Roll the dice and eat here but if you get sick from the food they don't care. read more

Nice small place. We were really interested several menu items so it was hard to pick. I did see that several reviews said the liked the dumplings so we got that and liked it! I got the garlic chicken with salad. I liked my dish. It wasn't a blown away amazing dish but solid good meal. My DH got the pad kar pao gai & egg. He loves spicy food and thought this wasn't spicy. He said again solid good meal just not amazing. I know we would go back to try other items and would get a good meal. The staff was really nice and it was kinda cool that you could watch them cook from the window looking in. No pics this time, maybe next time read more

My friends and I came and we each got ramen. I got the spicy miso ramen (has chicken but I added tofu) and it was really good! My friend got the traditional pork and the other got the same thing as me. It was the perfect amount of spice despite have the larger number of chili peppers next to It lol! They have a large menu, it was tough to choose. We plan on coming back and trying something different! And there are always 15% off coupons in the local mailer. The jasmine tea gives you enough for 4 cups in the pot. Portions overall were very large and the prices were good. The only bad thing is that he soft boiled egg was very cold. They were kind regarding service and food came out quickly. read more

Roodle Rice & Noodle Bar - Spicy miso ramen and pork ramen in the background - Noodles Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

My daughter and I are in Wallingford, CT visiting colleges when we stumbled upon Roodle on Yelp. At first, we were skeptical of a Thai restaurant in rural Connecticut that also had ramen noodles, along with an extensive list of other items. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food, service, and overall experience eating. We ordered the freshly made dumplings, vegetarian pad Thai, and the steak (with coconut sticky rice). One word..."WOW!!!", amazing food and service!! The dumplings were delicious, the pad Thai was chewy (not mushy) with the appropriate flavor profile that reminded me of Thailand. The steak with the traditional tamarind sauce and coconut sticky rice was fantastic. There are an abundance of Thai restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Roodle will give the best places a run for their money!! This place is a must visit if you're in the east coast, definitely worth the drive! read more

Asian fusion restaurants are popping up everywhere and this is one I've actually been interested in trying out for a short while now. When I visited, the interior was decorated for the month of October, Halloween type stuff. Nice touch but in my opinion it added to the visible clutter (there's an open kitchen). It kinda deleted the clean and modern kind of vibe this restaurant originally provided. My wobbly table didn't help the situation. I do like the festivity but maybe a little more subtle would be preferred, completely opinion. As for the appetizers, they fit the cluttered ambiance. We had the Gyoza (steamed pork dumplings) and the Dumplings (pork and shrimp shumai). Gyoza was like every other Gyoza I've ever had and the Dumplings reminded me of low-quality dim sum. But they were still good. My issue was there was too much garnish. I'm the type to actually eat most of the garnishes because it tastes great with the dumplings but there was so much left over garnish. The entire presentation was super cluttered! Never seen so much garnish before. If they're gonna put a lot, they gotta do it right. MY entree was where EVERYTHING lit back up. But not my girl's, that one had an off taste that ruined it. I had the Beef Noodle Soup and it was excellent. Broth was light, noodles were perfect, and the beef was extremely tender. It was a little pricey for $13.95 but at least this was quality. I enjoyed it, I'd get it again. But my girlfriend ordered the Roodle Pork w/Brown Sauce & Egg. It looked alright, pork was shredded, egg was cooked beautifully, and the vegetables were good. But there was a strange aftertaste. Textures were good, everything seemed alright but that aftertaste just made it seem off. Made it seem like something was wrong. I had a lackluster experience, I've been eyeing this place for months. Cluttered appearance, cluttered apps, only half the entrees were good, wobbly table, service was meh, it was just lacking everywhere. 3-Stars because I can imagine this place being at least a little more visually appealing w/o the added decorations. I bet that strange aftertaste was just a one time thing, and I really liked my entree but it was pricey for the amount I got. Only half the servers were nice, the one we had seemed like a you know what. But it is what it is. read more

Roodle Rice & Noodle Bar - Drunken noodle - Noodles Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

"Crystal wasn't Drunk" My friend Crystal wasn't drunk, but she was all a buzz as she described how much she loves the Drunken Noodles and Ramen at Roodle. She expressed her love so much for Roodle that I had to go there and taste one of their dishes for myself. I had the Beef Drunken Noodles and the dish was very good. Flat wide noodles similar to papardella with beef, basil leaves, bell peppers, carrot, egg, and onions in a spicy chili garlic sauce. The only thing that wasn't appetizing was the solid clump of noodles in the middle. I should be able to pull each individual noodle separately. I couldn't pull one ribbon of pasta at a time and that bothered me. Other than that, everything was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to try the Ramen. read more

It not great, but still good when I hava taste for it. read more

Another place we loved so much, we went back again in the same week! We loved the freshness and flavor of this authentic Japanese eatery. My favorite aspect of the menu however was the spice level indicators; last time I went I ordered a curry that was a little more spicy than my usual, but I was glad the menu indicated it so at least I could expect the kick. This time around, we got the Thai iced teas to cool things off (Boba-Enthusiasts: The boba are of the smaller, harder persuasion as opposed to the larger, softer) and went with safe new options that were amazing! Highly recommend! read more
