After I was introduced to this restaurant, there was no going back. This place has such amazing and delicious dishes. I was here all the time in college, and I try to go back whenever I can. I genuinely dream about this place. My go to meal is the hokkien noodles with the Thai flavor and chicken. It's also a very good bang for your buck. If I get this meal, I'm eating for the rest of the day. The service is always super quick! Sometimes, there might be a line, but they do a very good job at getting the food out quickly. It is a smaller restaurant ao seating can be limited ơn busier days, but that's bc it's so good, everyone's trying to go. I don't blame them. read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Hokkien Hokkien Bundle - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

Overdue review as I've been here several times now. Ambiance isn't much to write home about. It's very simple and casual with few tables and seating areas. Service here is overall friendly and welcoming. Although, I've mostly gotten take out and dining in means you clear your own table? Food*: - Tom Yum Soup 8/10, bold and tasty - Laksa Soup 7/10, tasty but oily - Clear Soup 10/10, clean and flavorful which is what keeps me coming back almost every time (especially good when feeling under the weather) * I've only had the soups and always with the big flat noodles Overall: - 8/10, great place for quick and casual dining or maybe best as take out order to enjoy at home read more

I love this place , and what's better than noodles. I got the garlic noodle combo and vegetables potstickers. The bowl of noodles were so large, I'm glad that I only ordered one and shared it with my daughter. We also had the Thai tea in a pouch It was OK. The restaurant is super cute clean and the staff was nice patient and helpful. My teenage daughter also loved this place aesthetics and food. She said that she will be back with her and her friends. read more

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. read more

Toss Noodle was recommended to me by a friend. I personally had the beef pad see ew and my friend had the tong yum vermicelli. The pad see ew was too watery, and noodles weren't very good. You order at the front. Interesting seating options inside. Street parking only. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Still very good after all these years, but they now have an air freshener machine in the dining area that pumps out a nasty strong smelling scent that's like a cheap body spray. They need to cut that out because the main smell in a restaurant should be the food, not an air freshener. One thing to put that in a bathroom, but it's pretty disgusting and did ruin our experience as we were eating. The staff is friendly, the food comes out quick, and it's clean. A big bowl of noodles is the ultimate comfort IMO, they also have curry, soup, fried rice, sides, etc. Glad this place is still in business. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Really liked their vegetarian options. Not very oily or spicy if you want some feel good Thai food.

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

The broth tasted really flavorful, delicious, and had a blend of being salty, sweet, and sour. The broccoli was surprisingly good in the broth, and the pork was not too fatty and not too dry. The service was also quick. However, I did notice that the restaurant was really loud due to the acoustics of the facility trapping in sound. read more

Went to Toss for lunch on a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed! I made my own order with glass noodles, Malay sauce and beef, and got this massive bowl for less than $20. I believe the Malay sauce comes with a little bit of peanut, so people with a peanut allergy beware! Everything, even the vegetables, tasted great - I guess the only thing is that it was a bit too dry for my liking and would've appreciated maybe a little more moisture in the noodle. Not a big deal, I'm sure it was made this way to best bring out the flavors of each ingredient! In the end, I did take what I couldn't finish home because it's too good to waste. If you wanna do the same, note that they do charge 0.25 for takeout boxes. Other than that, I really enjoyed my visit! The waitresses were really kind and as a last thing: kudos to whoever was behind the music that day, because they have banger music taste! read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Flat Rice Noodles, Glass Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

I am a Communities manager with a large company and we had an event and decided to go with a noodle bar as one of the food options. We worked with Toss Noodle Bar catering and the owner was so responsive. He walked me through the options, and pricing was very reasonable. The staff was also incredibly kind and resourceful when we initially went inside the restaurant to come up with an initial game plan on what to serve. Food was ready on time, and we even received a personal follow-up text from the owner after the event to ask how everything went. This is how you show you care. Every touchpoint we had with everyone was pleasant. If you are looking for either business or personal catering, don't rule out Toss Noodle Bar for an elevated experience. We transferred the noodles into individual charcuterie plates, and put the prawn chips and edamame into small charcuterie cups as a food accent. It's also great for providing options for guests with Gluten-free dietary restrictions, and we got a ton of compliments on the food. Hopefully, we will have future catering opportunities but in the meantime, we were already fans of the restaurant, so we'll keep individually patronizing. Nicely done! read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Hokkien, Chinese sauce - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

We come here about once a year and it's always a pretty solid experience. They have a build-your-own style menu where you can pick your noodle, sauce style, and protein. I always prefer the hokkien noodles which are on the thicker side, and they go well with the thai/malay sauce combo. It was my first time getting some items off the side menu, the highlight of which was the vegetarian dumplings. The pineapple fried rice was just okay, and the eggplant was a little disappointing given the quantity. The food came out quickly, although they do start to clean up right at the closing time. read more

Delicious, fast, some seating, lots of variety, but also a simple menu where you can't go wrong with what you get

I honestly think Toss has the best Thai food in Berkeley. I've had both the pad thai and pad see ew and Toss is always consistent and never disappoints! The takeout is also just as delicious as dining in. We came late at night on a Sunday and I had the pad thai. The sauce was savory and plentiful, complimenting the noodles well. I like their interior and there is always ample seating and no wait time when I'm here. Will be coming back! read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Pad See Ew and Pad Thai - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

If I could give zero stars I would . I ordered a plate recommended l to me by an employee and when I tasted it burned my mouth and left my tongue burning and mouth hurting . I asked if I could exchange it and they got upset and started telling it was my fault I ordered it . I was clear I was not satisfied with the flavor and the manager and employees did not care and said they would wash the noodles and add a different sauce . Acted not professional at all and horrible customer service . They did not understand that if a customer is not happy with the food , they need to exchange it like it should be , they told me that if you order and don't like it it's not their fault . Manager is horrible read more

This is a great noodle spot in Berkeley. The service is always extremely fast, and the workers are very kind. They have a diverse menu with a lot of options, and are able to do many substitutions. There are a lot of students that come here, it is a nice atmosphere to sit down and have a meal. There is also a decent amount of indoor seating available. My favorite is the Pad Se Ew noodles. Super good! I also got the Thai tea, which is not super sweet so I think a lot of people would like it. Just keep in mind, they do charge a fee for to go bags and boxes. Definitely will be back! read more

It was about 11:30am and stepped in for an early lunch with some noodles. Selected the Hokkien noodles, with Tom Yum soup and chicken and a Thai Iced Tea!!! It literally took like 15-20 minutes to get my food. I noticed that several uber eats/or other deliver were prepared prior to mine which made sense. I wish I can say it was worth the wait... but it was not. The broth was bland...it was warm but not hot...I added some Saracha to help. Little slivers of shaved chicken were provided with no seasoning. Don't understand how this restaurant has such a high rating...which why I wanted to try it. Would definitely not go back. Unfortunately, the Thai Iced tea was the highlight. Perhaps I didn't order the "right" thing??? But was certainly hopping for better. A disappointment. read more

Oh man, saw this place after I visited the library. I had green curry w chicken and jasmine rice and dumplings. Don't judge me! The green curry was life! I wanted to swim in it. The dumplings kinds got set aside cuz I had to eat every drop of green curry. I was able to finish the curry, dear reader, I also ate two dumplings. They were kinda meh but that's to be expected. I was only eating out of duty. This is a great lil spot, order at counter, clean up after yourself. Lots of great noodle options and toppings.

I really don't look back at my Berkeley undergrad years with much nostalgic longing, especially when it comes to the indiscriminate way I used to eat. I was under the misconception that calories bounced off of me. Now they stick to me like dandruff on a UNIQLO sweater. This is my roundabout way of saying this is the kind of place I probably would've frequented as a budget conscious student. After all, who could argue with noodles tossed in a wok for lunch? That would explain the abundance of wrinkle-free faces among the diners in here. Everyone goes through a three-step order process. I chose my base of Hokkein noodles, the spicy Thai sauce as my flavor component, and pork for my protein. With the veggies added as a bonus, the $14 result wasn't half-bad (photo: https://bit.ly/3rik3A0). For some irrational reason, I didn't think that would be enough, so I ordered the $7 Veggie Steamed Dumplings which were decent enough in a defrosted Costco kind of way (photo: https://bit.ly/3rqJjEq). Six of them was probably overkill, but hey, I can relive my college years. That doesn't make me delusional, does it? Anyway, if they offered a salad option as a base, I'd probably consider returning. Otherwise the young ones can have it. FOOD - 3 stars...no-frills, wok-fried carbs with flavors AMBIANCE - 3 stars...pretty standard spot dining-wise SERVICE - 3 stars...all through the window TOTAL - 3 stars...part of the student diet, I guess RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

LOVE this DIY noodle "bar". You order/pay at the register. Choose your noodle type, protein, and type of sauce or soup you'd like. Nothing fancy here. They bring your order to your table. Water is self service. There are a handful of tables you can dine in and eat your food, including some cool stadium seating with high top tables so you can look over everyone else eating. I had the clear glass noodles, with laksa soup broth and all the protein, it was excellent! There are many options for gluten free eaters here. This is quick comfort food for when you are seeking noodles, and great with a group since everyone can get what they want. The flavors are good but not as good as if you went to a place that specializes in whatever that dish is (ie for Thai noodles, go to a Thai food place, if you want Singapore laksa, go to a Singapore restaurant). As long as you check your expectations, this place is perfect. read more
