This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Murrieta. The food and service are excellent here. I highly recommend the garlic yakisoba noodles! The mango and sticky rice was also yummy! Great Ambiance! Delicious food! Keep up the great work! read more

We decided to try this place out for the first time tonight. Honestly, we'd been hesitating for a while -- turns out we were missing out. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. They do seem a bit understaffed, but once they get to your table, they take really good care of you. The food was delicious across the board. My wife had the Spicy Udon and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Chow Mein with added beef, and it was flavorful and satisfying. The oils and chilis on the table were a nice touch -- great flavor, not just heat. We also tried the chicken egg rolls, which were noticeably larger than your average egg roll and tasted fresh and well‑made. Only downside: no refillable fountain sodas. And I'm a refill person, so that stung a bit. But aside from that, we'll definitely be back. Especially because I need to try those fried gyoza next time. read more

1/26/26 Sadly I am removing my 5 star reviews. Tonight was just not the same. We sat in a booth because when we stood at the door, nobody offered us a place to sit down. A few minutes after we chose our spot, we were told to move because that part of the dining area was closed. Well, maybe you should've acknowledged us in the first place. Look at my previous reviews. I had nothing but love for Spicy Noodle. There were only a few people. One waitress. Our food took forever to come out and she brought it out one at a time. Pancit came first. My husbands Pho about 15 minutes later, and the pork belly was about 10 more minutes. My husband asked for extra green onions. She wanted to charge us for that. So we said, "never mind." Pancit was on point. Pork Belly was cold and had no taste. It appeared to have a mix of old and new pieces of meat. Clearly old meat was hard and dry, and appeared darker, like it was refried. Perhaps some leftovers? Not sure but it was off. I asked for sauce for the pork belly. I was told it doesn't come with any sauce. Give me something, anything to make up for this $22 plate of meat that was horrible. She brought me sweet n sour sauce and charged me $1.79 Damn! I was afraid to see what soy sauce would have cost me. So it appears that Spicy noodle wants to up charge for every little thing. $60 later and we couldn't even get a toothpick. I'm out. Never again here and I will not recommend them to anyone. Seems like the owner no longer runs the place. At least he's not cooking anymore. His wife kept peeking out the glass window. Perhaps wondering why she had no customers. It's 50° tonight and nobody eating Pho. That should have been my first clue. I won't be back. read more

Spicy noodle is always a good idea. They serve different types of Asian cuisines, which I normally don't go for fusion types of restaurants. The service is good and the restaurant is clean. No funny smells and good for accommodating large parties, I think. Pho or anything with noodles is the way to go here. read more

I was in the area and stopped by for work but let me tell you, the food here was AMAZING! I had the Pork Pancit Bihon noodles and ordered some Mango Sticky rice for dessert as well. The owner and server were both so sweet and kind as well! I stopped around lunch time and there were quite a few parties enjoying food there as well. It made the restaurant feel more cozy and inviting! If you're ever in the area, please consider stopping by! I know I'll be returning sometime soon, myself read more

Glad we gave this place several tries before we found dishes that made Spicy Noodle one of our favorite eateries to visit weekly. At first, I was really put off by Pad Thai and spicy basil fried rice, which kept us away for a long time before we forgot about this place. On a whim, my husband decided to meet up here after work not thinking we were visiting for the first time. We sat down anyway and try something new on the menu. To our surprise, the Spicy Basil Cat Fish and the Garlic Soba Noodles were excellent! The other fish entree (not on today's menu) is also delicious. We come back here regularly for these particular dishes. I think flowers on the tables and more wall art might make this place more appealing as the ambiance is a bit dull with too much beige and brown. A bit depressing. Service is friendly. read more

Spicy noodle is the restaurant to go to if you are having a hard time deciding if you want Thai food or Vietnamese food. They have both! In my humble opinion it's pretty damn good either way you go. With this being our first visit we decide to split the shrimp spring rolls, wife opts for chicken pho and I live on the edge and order the garlic soba noodles with chicken. Spring rolls arrive and we are impressed by the presentation as well as the size. The rolls are made with love, flavorful and very well constructed. The peanut sauce explodes with flavor, a party in your mouth. These just might be the best spring rolls in the area. Chicken pho comes next. It's a big bowl loaded with chicken, noodles and some herbs. Wife adds a shitload of other stuff and poof, a very tasty bowl of soup. Next comes my Garlic Soba Noodles with chicken. I order it with medium heat. Ok, this dish is good. The soba noodles are nutty and hold the garlic flavor well. The chicken is tender and flavorful and the entire dish just seems to work. The inside of the restaurant is somewhat industrial, no flash with standard tables and booths. Our server was very pleasant but service was spotty. My wife's lunch came out and my lunch trailed hers by at least 8-10 minutes. Always an awkward moment for the one who gets their food first. Spicy Noodle earns its 4 stars. Work on getting your timing down better and earn that 5th star. Because this place has me wanting to explore the menu more, we will be back for another visit. read more

The service was okay, but needs improving on how tentative the waiters are. Had to ask for multiple different things. The noodles I ordered were extremely salty and the beef was cut in gigantic slices. The spring rolls were sub-par and still unsure as to why they were cut in half upon serving. It all wasn't horrible, but I can't imagine myself coming here again. read more

Never disappoints! Always fresh, cooked to order, and the service is great. I love how Spicy Noodles consistently turns out succulent dishes with fresh, bold flavors. If you're looking for quality Thai food at a reasonable price, they've got it. My favorites are the basil fried rice, eugun soup, and the salt-and-pepper shrimp. read more

Food was amazing! Been going here for years and it's still just as good as the first time! Service was 10/10. Austin was quick and very attentive. Water was never left empty and they brought out everything I needed so fast. Probably the best Thai food in the area! read more

I used to love the food here but wont be going back after tonights order. Food was tasteless and pricey.

I came here with a brother and grand nephew to celebrate my oldest sister's birthday. We came in at the perfect time because it wasn't busy. Only one table was occupied. We were seated right away and ordered our food. As always, the food was delicious! I love coming here! You should give this place a try and see for yourselves! You'll thank me later! And when you do, bon appétit! read more

Did someone say Pho? Best in town! The food here is fresh and authentic! The Pho is to die for! So fresh! The food comes out hot and fresh. Service is quick and the staff is knowledgeable. It's usually pretty quiet in the space. They know their niche in food and do it well. If you're nearby, make this a stop and enjoy! read more

I started going to this restaurant, when it first opened. & since they expanded it just doesn't taste the same. The spring rolls have way too much lettuce in them to be tasty. & when i asked for spring roll sauce, i got some weird concoction of oil, oyster sauce & fish sauce. Normally, Pho has a cinnamon taste but their broth is kinda bland. I recommend going to Pho Mai in Temecula, as it has been opened longer & is worth the money for the portions you get! read more

Spicy Noodle what happened!? This place used to hit every time. I moved away but since I was in the area last night I decided on ordering. I got the Eggrolls and Rare steak Pho. The Eggrolls are completely different and are the store bought Chungs Eggrolls. It's the exact look and taste it's definitely the Chungs brand. Before they were made in-house and came with a sweet an sour/fish sauce with lettuce . And the pho broth was not good at all... so disappointed read more

Came in for our first time to order some appetizers to go. Waited at the front as the sign says, but no one was in the front so we waited a few minutes. Ordered 4 different apps to eat on a long drive, shrimp and pork (odd there is a $1 up charge for pork) and spring rolls (2 pieces each), both fresh and tasty with the peanut sauce. Also ordered the tofu bites and gyoza which had a fragrant ginger flavor, both were not oily and also good. $48 for 4 apps before tax and tip ending up $55 for lunch for 2. We would come back when we have time to dine in because even though there were only two tables occupied during our time of order and another two tables filled while we waited, it still took 25 minutes for us when I can't foresee waiting that long if we were dining in instead. Deducted stars for cost and the wait, hopefully a 5 star visit next time round. read more

We just wanted some appetizers mid afternoon. We ordered three items. Fried Calamari ($18.00) Vegetarian Egg Rolls ($10) Fried Tofu Nuggets ($12) Egg rolls and Tofu came out quickly hot from the frier. Tofu had way too much breading. Tofu had curious texture. Both dishes came out with "house sweet sauce". How about changing up sauces for each item? jus' askin'.... We were almost done with both apps. Asked the server if she forgot our calamari. She said "No, it takes longer for calamari. With in seconds the calamari came out. Guess what sauce? The SAME ho hum "house sweet sauce". Suggestion: Put some creativity into your menu: Find other sauces to embrace your food. read more

Had the pho at Spicy Noodle with my family and it was great! Broth was rich and clean, noodles cooked right, and the portions were generous. Everything tasted fresh and balanced, not over-salted or heavy. Service was fast, friendly, and genuinely attentive without being overbearing. Staff made sure we were good the whole time and handled everything smoothly. Comfortable vibe, good energy, and overall just a quality spot for pho. Definitely coming back. read more

We came here on a Wednesday evening! 3 other tables were already seated. First... the food was DELICIOUS!!! Big portions and the flavor was great! We ordered pad kee mai, pad ka pauw and tom kah. All of them were generous portions and again SO FLAVORFUL! Once we got our food and finished it.... I think the server forgot we were there! We had to wait 20 + minutes to get the bill... ambiance is quiet, plenty of space and clean. We will be back just because the food was SO GOOD! read more

Absolutely my favorite thing on the menu! read more

I was extremely disappointed in the Lao food served at this restaurant. I'm Lao and have been eating it all my life and this had to be the worst lao food I had ever tasted. I asked for the papaya salad lao style (which is more pungent and flavorful than the thai version), and it was so bland and tasted like they forgot the padek sauce. Same thing with the larb gai, it was so bland and was missing half of what traditionally usually goes in this dish (no shallots, tasted like no padek). The sticky rice was also very mushy and overcooked. Maybe don't come here for the lao food, especially if you have had authentic lao food before. My husband had the pho, and that was good though. read more

Definitely not as good as it once was. Once they got rid of the Lao Pho broth it hasn't been the same. I come here time and time again in case I end up loving it but it's forced me to try new places. It's not horrible and is worth trying. Employees are friendly when we've gone. read more

My server Isaac was very nice and made sure I had everything I needed. Made the whole experience very welcoming, will definitely be back!

Decided to try this place on a rainy day, it's located in a shopping area and there's lots of parking around. It wasn't so busy. We got seated right away, and brought waters quickly. They had lots of food options and liquor selection as well as bobas in the menu. I can't remember the name of the soup. I was expecting more flavor on the tomatoes and spicy level it was like a Thai soup. But didn't have good flavor. My partner order the pho. And that was good. The eggs rolls. I also liked they had a good crunch and the veggies were seasoned great. The restaurant was pretty big and had lots of seating spaces , the tables were nice and wide also. The service was great. read more

I was here today same as simon c and can honestly say that, THAT guy was being disrespectful to the staff and HE ruined my dining experience. Made the waitress cry and was disrespecting the owners. He ordered 2 plates, if that, beer and soju. It was a good vibe until he opened his mouth. I was about to get up myself and tell him something for the way he was speaking to the staff!!! Needless to say, the food here is great! Pho combo is amazing! Spring rolls, chef's kiss. Vietnamese iced coffee, to die for! The service staff is friendly!! read more

Came to this location based off of the other reviews regarding the Pho. It was good, I wouldn't say the best in town but it had good flavor. The service was reallllllly slow though. It took about 30 minutes to get our Pho served. I can't imagine how much slower it can be on a very busy day. Inside was ok, a bit dark and not very lively. It felt a little depressing inside in comparison to other Pho locations I've been to. read more

The pho was good, however I have to mark down a couple stars because (1) the wait time was way too long from being seated, to getting our order taken, to finally getting our getting food, and (2) we were just a party of two and on the receipt they already included an 18% tip to the total, and added an "Additional Tip" line. So check your receipt that you don't end up double tipping. read more

Updated review: 10/25/2025 Man.. I come here often enough, today's service was pretty bad. Like really bad. Just no attentiveness today. Our server Nathan was kind at the start and said he would bring us waters, but after going to the bathroom w my toddler I came back out to find no water, and a newly sat table had their waters before us. Some time went by before I was able to flag him down and ASK for the waters. We ordered, I asked for extra limes and didn't get them so had to ask again. They were out of tofu so the waiter let me know and I told him to just cancel the spring rolls I ordered all together bc I didn't want the shrimp ones, only tofu. At the end I got my receipt and the spring rolls were not taken off, Nathan was on his lunch break and he made eye contact with me so he knew I was wanting some service but did not ask anyone to help me. so I waited for a long time before a different waiter noticed my irritation and corrected the bill for me and took my payment. I left Nathan 5$ tip for the principal because I have worked in the restaurant business, but this service today was truly lacking and I left not very satisfied with my overall visit. Food is great as always but that was about it. --------- Really upset with this place. They normally have semi-decent service but today was just bad. My boyfriend and I come here often to get out fix of pho, and we come in to a very NOT busy shop. We sit down and tell the person we are ready to order. 10 minutes go by and we still hadn't been seen so we left and went to cold stone. Overall unhappy with today's visit. read more

I came in on a Sunday evening. The place was not busy at all. I waited at the front to be seated. Several mins go by and finally someone comes out from the kitchen. They acknowledge me and go back in the kitchen. I wait several more mins. The same guy comes back out and yells from across the room, "Dine in?" I said yes. He yells and points, "Over there". Like, why didn't he do that the first time we made contact? I sat down and waited several more mins. I see two other workers come out from the kitchen. One ended up dealing with a customer that just walked in. The other went back in the kitchen. The first guy never came back out. I got tired of waiting. The place was run by a bunch of amateurs. I could tell the service was going to be below par, so I ended up walking out. read more

Loved the food and loved our server! We got the vegetarian pho and pad kee mao - HUGE portions and very flavorful! Nathan was very welcoming and helpful when we were trying to figure out which options were vegan friendly. One star was removed because I'm a super taster and I tasted mold in the water. Clean your water filter! It gets nasty in there. read more

PLLLLEEEEASEEEE bring back the pork egg rolls thank you for your delish food i love it!

This is a really solid restaurant and worth the stop. We came by the area after a weekend of partying by the pool and needed something hearty despite the hot weather and noodle soups always fill the soul. We were the first customers of the day and it was obvious the staff was still setting up for the day so we came with patience. It was nice, clean, and cool inside. The staff was friendly and attentive. We didn't go crazy with the order because we really just wanted to try the pho. The small was just enough to feel full without being heavy and the meat selection was generous. read more
