Ever since this opened up during my undergrad days, I can't believe I never left a review for Toss Noodle Bar! Especially since I'm someone who loves noods! I really like their option to build your own bowl. Step 1: Choose your base You can choose noodles (they have a whole list of options! I'm partial to spinach and Hokkien noodles), or steamed or fried rice (white or brown, with brown costing more). Step 2: Add your flavor Choose between wok-toss, soup, or curry Step 3: Pick your protein Options include tofu, chicken, beef, pork, prawn, combo There's also options for chef's special, quick bites, or chicken satay or BBQ pork on skewers. Glad to see that of all the establishments that have come and gone in Berkeley over the years, Toss is still around.

Noodles, Thai sauce, chicken, side of sriracha.

When a friend first recommended Toss, I thought we were going to a salad restaurant. Toss is a casual, student-focused destination (very close to Cal). You stand in line, order, and take a number. Food is delivered to the table. This is my second time here. Each time we've had a group of four or more. The process is efficient, and service is efficient. The noodles are delicious! We had a mix of dishes and all were pleased. The ratings from our group of six ranged from 7 to 9.3 (really). And special kudos to them for having Hitachino White Ale, a Belgian-style beer from Japan. Overall, highly recommended when you are looking for a casual, quick and tasty meal.

Red curry with prawns, spinach noodles
Sharine d.

Love Toss for a simple, consistent meal in the UCB area. You decide the type odd noodles or rice. The type of protein, the type of sauce. On this evening they had a special added to their board...eggplant basil. The eggplant was yummy. (didn't care for frozen chicken slices (B), but loved the prawns. Had red curry with prawns (A)... and the coconut prawns.... Paid $45 for 2 meals.... very happy with my dinner. Thank you for simple, good value, decent food.. clean restaurant. Sharine

I've been coming to Toss Noodle Bar since 2021, and I'm glad the food quality has stayed consistent every time. My go to is the garlic noodle with hoikken noodles and shrimp, which also comes with bean sprouts, always flavorful and satisfying!! For drinks, the Thai tea is my favorite, their matcha looks like a newer addition and definitely worth trying. They use paper straws, which is eco friendly, but since I don't finish my drink right away, I grab an extra because the straw gets flimsy later on. The place has plenty of seating and a restroom. It can get busy since it's near a school I think. Staff are all accommodating & friendly. Parking is limited out front, but you'll find paid parking around the block. Still one of my favorite noodle spots!

Chicken fried rice

Came with the family and got way too much food. Kind of pricey for what you get but the servings were huge. We got 3 orders of the garlic noodles and a fried rice. The noodles were nice and chewy. Good garlic flavor but not too much. Fried rice was as expected but it was good. Food came out fast too which e appreciated. We'd definitely come back again, but would order less.

Yummy noodles! Cute place, very easy to order, & really nice people! Food came out fast and was so good, very flavorful! They have pictures of the noodles and descriptions of the sauces which is also very helpful.

I love coming here! I always get the combo sauce of Thai and maylai idk how to spell what I got but I added pineapple for extra $3 and I love getting the brown rice option

Wok-Tossed Malay Wheat Noodles with Pork
Jamee S.

When you come to Berkeley, there's always good cultural places to eat. Toss was a great find close to Berkeley HS after a tournament. Interior has a cool urban vibe as college towns have. The establishment was clean and inviting. I'd hang here if I were a student. Service was delightful. Food arrived quickly. I love the concept. - pick a noodle (or base) - pick a sauce (wok-toss, soup, or curry) - pick a protein You can probably come here and try hundreds of combinations and can't go wrong. We ordered: - flat rice, laksa with combination protein - wheat, Malay with pork - spicy Thai chicken basil with flat rice Everything we ordered was delicious and flavorful! If you're in the area, be sure to give Toss a try!

spicy tofu and chicken
Mar M.

SOOOO GOOD. absolutely loved this place! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, everything was delicious, and the interior is so cute. Will definitely be coming back.

Glass Noodles

No real complaints here. I could really see myself being a regular here if I was a UC Berkeley student and still had my college food palate. Nothing really stood out with the Thai noodles I ordered, pretty good overall but not wow'd at all. One of the workers was a little rude to my friend which I thought was unwarranted. I don't think I'd come back to be honest. Cool concept though!

I went to Toss a bunch as an undergrad at Cal and have amazing memories here. Now living in SF, I still crave the hokkien noodles here! My friend and I were driving to Concord and when they mentioned they wanted noodles, I knew we had to come to Toss. My order is always the hokkien noodles with Malay and Thai Sauce and Chicken. Food was ready in around 10 minutes. Super yummy as usual !! This spot is definitely a MUST for anyone living in the area!

Pretty good, food came out fast. Staff was nice as well and it was clean inside. My food came out wrong which I couldn't have due to restrictions but the server took it back and got me a new one quickly.

Love this concept! Build your own noodle bowl! Lots of great choices of noodles and toppings to choose from. Counter service- you put in your order at the counter and they bring you your order. The place fun and clean!

See all

After the long anticipation, I was able block off my calendar and finally try this place on a Friday night. We had a part of 7 and it was more challenging to find a table to fit all of us.

Usually when my anticipation is high, my expectations are higher and I'm usually disappointed but this did not disappoint!! The broth was so flavorful and the noodles had the perfect consistency of bounce and chew. The meats were tender and on top of that, the portions are huge and very reasonably priced!

We ordered the beef noodle soup with the 8‑hour broth, the pickled cabbage and fish fillet noodle soup, and a cucumber appetizer. Everything was really tasty, both noodle soups hit the spot with generous portion. The cucumber was refreshing with balanced sesame seasoning. Definitely a place we'd come back to just to try more things on the menu. Highlights for me: The daikon in the beef noodle soup is so soft and flavorful and the portion of noodles they give you. We got the non‑spicy broth with thin noodles, which ended up being super similar to the noodles in the pickled cabbage and fish fillet soup. The pickled cabbage in other bowl gives this extra kick that makes it stand out.

It's one of those spots that keeps us nourished during busy clinic and class days. They have a great lunch special and honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I was stuck on the Dan Dan noodles and the Beef Tendon Stew for a while, but the Chen Pi Beef and the scallion pancakes are also standouts. The tea selection is wonderful too. I even brought my parents here when they were visiting from New York, and they still talk about it. That's saying something considering how many Chinese takeout spots there are in NY--this place is another level: fresh, thoughtful, and truly feels gourmet. What also makes this place special is the community feeling. When we hosted our Lunar New Year celebration at the school, they hung our flyer in their window and even came by with a tray of egg rolls for the event.

This location gets an 8/10 from me--still solid, still satisfying--but overall, the brand is easily a 9/10 because it's just sooooo good. If you're going for the first time (or even if you're not), do yourself a favor and get the beef or nikutama. The broth is rich, savory, and comforting, and the noodles have that perfect chewy texture that makes every bite worth it. It's simple food done really well. And don't skimp on the tempura. That's where people mess up. Load up your tray--shrimp, sweet potato, whatever catches your eye. It's crispy, fresh, and honestly half the experience. Quick, casual, and consistently delicious. Hard to miss here.

Today I ordered the $5.99 Kake Udon + $1.99 Tamagoyaki as part of the "Eat Under $10 Tempura…read morePromo." The broth temperature was just right, perfect for slurping the soup. However, the tamagoyaki was lukewarm, like it had been sitting on the counter for a while. I wish it had been hot and a little crispy. Yesterday I was at Marugame Udon in San Francisco, so I could compare the Berkeley location versus the San Francisco location. The Berkeley broth tasted much better, and the temperature was just right. The bill came to $8.80 total, which really matches what Marugame advertises with the Eat Under $10 Tempura Promo. I will definitely come back for the Eat Under $10 deal, but next time I'll try a different tempura.

We are the only customer when we arrived. Very pleasant not overpowering jazz mood music plays. Our server has a very pleasant demeanor. We have Taiwan beef noodle soup. Nice and hot the way it should be. Perfect to my tongue textures of the beef cubes and egg noodles. The beef broth was amazing. At the end of our meal I was full. Too full to the point that I almost cried that I couldn't drink the last gulps but it was too small a portion to warrant taking home. Our Kung Pao chicken? Delicious. Chock full of chicken bites and delicious vegetables. Somehow the plentiful peanuts set my taste buds acraving. Wow wow Pao tasty. The only miss with this was that it was brought to us on a coldish serving plate. A common mistake. We didn't get to try this dish hot. We are now wanting our bill. Seems like long time wanting. To our dismay, our friendly server got herself enmeshed in an on again off again conversation with someone at another table shortly after we arrived. Then she disappeared for a while. We are tempted to guess the bill amount (turns out we guessed wrong by $1), leave cash on the table and walk out. Instead I get up and she appears at the register. Magic. We pay proper like and walk out respectfully. I wouldn't mind coming back.

The fried whole fish (Pun Pa) was a standout: perfectly crispy on the outside, tender inside, and paired with fresh herbs, lettuce, noodles, and a rich dipping sauce that tied it all together. It's one of those dishes you build bite-by-bite, and every combo just works. The soup (Thom Seafood) brought serious comfort. Deep, bold broth with fresh herbs, mushrooms, and veggies--warm, slightly spicy, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. You can tell it's made with care, not rushed. And the beef jerky (Seen Savanh)? Easily one of the highlights. Super flavorful, slightly sweet and savory with a nice chew, paired with a dipping sauce (Jeow Mak len) that takes it to another level. It's the kind of dish you keep reaching for even when you're already full. The Lao pickle cabbage ( Som Pak) was a super hit. It's simple, but done right--and this one was. Crisp, slightly tangy, and refreshing. It cuts through the richness of the other dishes perfectly and balances out heavier bites like the fried fish and beef jerky. You can tell it's house-made and fresh, not overly sour or mushy. If you know, you know--this is a must-order to round out the table. What I appreciated most is how fresh everything tasted. The herbs were vibrant, the textures were on point, and nothing felt heavy or greasy. This is the kind of place you go when you want real, authentic Lao flavors--not watered down versions. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially with friends so you can try a little bit of everything. Come try it for yourself!

An embarrassment of riches: pickled cucumbers, pickled radish, seasoned bean sprouts, braised greens, spicy kimchi -- every single one house-made and bursting with flavor. But the real scene-stealer? The Rose Tteokbokki in a cast iron skillet -- a fiery, deeply savory broth blanketed in melted cheese, topped with a perfectly halved soft-boiled egg, scallions, and black sesame. It's the kind of dish that makes you go quiet mid-bite because words simply aren't enough.
