Don't waste your time or money. They were set up at the season opening for the Sharks Game this past week. It was about an hour before the puck drop and I placed an order. The gentlemen who took the order said it would take 15 min. 45 minutes later my food came out and it wasn't anything special. They kept saying any minute it would be done and I continued to wait. Folks that ordered after me somehow received their orders before me. They only have one person cooking and it appears each order is prepared and then they start the next order. About every 5-10 minutes someone's order would come out the window. The tempura shrimp resembled the packaged ones you can get from Costco in the freezer section, but we're about half the size. The fried PBJ was a fried crustable with some powdered sugar. The chicken sliders had some rubbery chicken between two pieces of bread. The tater tots , were your basic fried tater tots. The only positive I would say you do get a decent amount of food, but for $30 you would think it would be more than quantity and include a high quality. Missed the start of the season opener and ended up tossing more than half the food away. But at least the Sharks won! read more

Stinky Noodle - Noodles Near Me - San Jose, California

I tried this place last night and was craving something other than tacos so it was pretty refreshing to see this truck. The service was great. The guys (Bryce & Rich) were very kind, welcoming and attentive. I got noodles with half chicken katzu and half tempura shrimp along with egg rolls. The noodles were super flavorful & tasty, I overall really enjoyed their food. I definitely recommend this food truck. 10/10 will go again. I also recommend trying their takis sauce. It didn't disappoint! read more

I ordered some french fries. They were freshly made, hot and tasty. I'm only giving three stars because they were $12. The food looks good, but based on the price, I'll probably go somewhere else. The guy running the truck was very nice and helpful in explaining some of the items on the menu. read more

Not sure garlic in garlic noodle and chicken seemed old. But nice crew. Not really worth the price but large portions at least.

I was excited to try this place and wasn't concerned about the cost. I was looking for a memorable meal and experience. Unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. My order included garlic noodles with chicken katsu, a fried egg, six shrimp tempura, and a coconut water. With tip, the meal came to around $60. To their credit, the portion size was enormous and could easily feed two people, so value in terms of quantity was not the issue. The biggest disappointment was the garlic noodles. I was expecting a rich garlic flavor, but they tasted very similar to standard yakisoba noodles and lacked the distinct taste I was hoping for. The chicken katsu was soggy and had little to no crunch, while the shrimp tempura was crispy but otherwise bland and underseasoned. Nothing tasted bad, but very little stood out. I don't mind paying premium prices when the quality and flavor match the cost. In this case, I left feeling that I paid for a large portion rather than a memorable meal. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning. read more

The truck art is immediately off putting. Ai slop lol. But figured, let's try the food at least. We asked how big the spam masubi is and bro was like omggg it's huge!! As soon as it reached my mans hands, the worker saw how small it actually looked and was like, "ehhh yea I guess it's not that big". And we were like ok- and leave to eat at a table Rice is mushy, and it's the thinnest meat slices you could imagine lol. Deli meat slices. One on top and one on the bottom. We tried to take a bite and it completely fell apart, and rice was mush. Needed a spoon to eat the rest but preferred to toss instead. Never again lol. read more

The Katsu chicken was seemed like it was frozen and deep fried . The chicken didn't have enough breading and didn't event taste nothing like katsu chicken. The noodles tasted like a microwaveable version of Panda Express chow mein. The price was too high for the quality of the food. read more

Stinky Noodle - Katsu Noodle - Noodles Near Me - San Jose, California

This place is a scam do not go, way over priced and they are using the cheapest ingredients possible. Their fried PB&J is a fried uncrustable...and that wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't 10 dollars. You can buy a 15 pack of uncrustables from target for 15 dollars and make yourself 15 at home for 5 dollars more then they charge you for one. Also 10 dollars for a single spam masubi which is insane, I thought I was getting 3 for that price not a single one. read more

Obvious poor reviews are from people who have never conceptualized what it cost to run a restaurant or dare I say, maybe have never worked a day in the service industry. I was looking for anything but tacos and burgers, and these guys were right around the corner. (Marketing is working, keep making noodles) When you're eating out, you should never have to worry about what things cost. You should just order what you want and pay the tab. That's what I did.(~$40) HONEST REVIEW; 7.5-it's hot. It's ready. It's right there in front of your face and it's not tacos and it's not burgers. Is it any sort of luxurious item that I expect to find in some fucking restaurant no but I will tell you this much the food went into my mouth, and I was pretty fucking happy about it. ALMOST AN 8! But it is what it is at the end of the day and that's why it received the score I did. This isn't Benihana's and this is not no top Ramen. I left a tip because that's what you do when you see people bust the ass for us. I'll be back read more

The name is very fitting because this place stinks. Save your money and time. We paid $30 for the garlic noodles and 2 sides (wontons and egg rolls). The garlic noodles did not even have any garlic and tasted like frozen noodles from Safeway!! The eggrolls were ok but it's definitely not worth the money. The wontons were as bad as the noodles so don't even bother. Worst part is that we waited 30 MINUTES for our food. For that price point and wait, the food should at least be something to make a good review about!! Save your money/time and go to the Taquizas food truck (really good quality and reasonably priced Mexican food) right across the street from this food truck. Food: 1/5 Service: 1/5 Ambiance: 1/5 read more

Stopped by The Stinky Noodle food truck around lunchtime, looking for a little something sweet. I decided to try their deep-fried banana, something I'd never had before, and it did not disappoint. Crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness--it was pure fried perfection. Definitely worth the $8! There are lots of other tasty looking items on the menu too. Beyond the food, the truck itself is a total showstopper. It's vibrant, eye-catching, and bursting with personality--like a rolling work of art. The service was just as great as the food: friendly, fast, and welcoming. Whether you're craving a quick snack, a meal or just want to check out a super cool food truck, this place is worth a visit. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. read more

From first glance, I was already having a bad feeling. As the truck pulled up in front of the Ritz nightclub, knocking over bike line pylons like it was bowling, I instantly recoiled at the hideous art plastered all over the truck which resembled the absolute worst AI art you've ever seen. Then the music suddenly ignites and blares the most... well pretty good music. My girlfriend eyed the truck with curious and hungry eyes and went up to order the deep fried pbj. I sort of cringed as she enthusiastically shuffled toward the rejected post-modern art piece. My gfs name was called and she brought the order only to reveal a sad, pale smuckers uncrustable with a glossy sheen of oil on its surface. The disappointment on my face was obvious. The scene felt as if I was cradling an abandoned baby from a basket that was left out on my doorstep. I don't want it, this shouldn't be my burden to bear. Obnoxious blue glitter was sprinkled clumsily over the whole mess, with most of the glitter concentrated in a single glob. I thought this was supposed to be "deep-fried"? I look confusingly at the uncrustables pale complexion, a far cry from the orange crusty indulgence I was expecting, wondering to myself if it had been fried at all. My gf offered me a half, I reluctantly obliged and held the slop with my fork. I imagined eyes and a mouth superimposed on its pitiful uncrustables body. It begged me to put it out of its gooey misery. I gave it a reassuring nod as if to say: "Don't worry, you'll be going home soon --" I bit into its flesh and tore off a piece. It was okay... The flavor was just like those pre-frozen smuckers uncrustables you got at your middle school cafeteria. But this was a version where they dipped it in too much oil which made the bread have this awful soggy texture and your mouth is left with a lingering oily film. Anger started brewing inside me. I felt completely ripped off. For a tiny 4-inch mushy uncrustable we paid $10. 10 effing dollars... Please take your hard earned dollars anywhere else downtown. If you're hungry for a snack just get a cookie from insomnia, or just go to the hardworking Mexicans with their hot dog carts across the street from Stinky Noodle. Or HELL I would go to La Vic's before coming here again. At least you get your money's worth in food portions. Don't get food from here! I don't care if you are drunk or stupid or both. Way better options downtown. Clearly the owner's passion is in business and not FOOD. read more

Thanks man... the food was great and you were concerned about my ..drinking to much GF on Halloween and offered us whatever drink we wanted for free.... we didnt take that offer and made it home fine and enjoyed the delicious food.... but we appreciated the looking out!!!!!! read more

Instant 5 stars. Stinky Noodle caught my eye, so I took a chance--and I'm glad I did. The noodles and katsu were crazy good, but the real star? The deep-fried PB&J. Absolute game-changer. If you see this truck, stop. You won't regret it. read more

I was in downtown SJ and my friends had a craving. We had never been to this food truck. It shouldn't take 25 minutes for noodle. Epic fail. read more

This food truck is all style over substance, and even the "style" looks cheap. The walls are plastered with soulless AI art that feels more like a tech demo than actual design, and the food is just as uninspired--generic, and overpriced. It's basically a gimmick on wheels, and not a good one. read more

Awesome food truck! With aawesome graffics.... Food was on point definitely recommend to try it out.

I ordered the chicken katsu over stir-fry noodles. The picture posted by the "owner" on Yelp 6 days ago was deceiving. I received half the amount of chicken over a bed of greasy noodles for $22 + tax. The menu on Yelp dated November 2024 is outdated. Rice/noodles + 1 item is $22. read more

Staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I loved the tempura and udon noodles.
