This is one of the fastest quick service restaurants around town! The downside is it will take forever to find parking. :( Food here has a decent selection and completely up to you to mix and match your order. Get creative! The saucy stuff is also very salty, so stay away from that if you're more sensitive. read more

Affordable, good place by campus for food. Choose your own noodles, sauce, veggies, meat, etc and they'll make it for you. Portion sizes are good, but nothing's amazing since you have the risk of putting not so great things together. Protip: get what you think you'll like. read more

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

Noodles for everyone! Toss is a great place to go when you can't decide what type of asian flavor, you particularly want. It's great for a group of people who just can't decide on one type of asian food. Hidden next to UA Berkeley Theaters, Toss is a casual asian fusion restaurant where you are able to combine different noodles, sauces, and meats. I've been to this place throughout my years at Berkeley and it never fails to satisfy my hunger for asian noodles. I usually get the hokkien noodles, which is a thick yellow egg noodles that absorbs the sauce you choose. I've tried most of the sauces but the best one would have to be the Malay peanut sauce. It adds a hearty peanut flavor to the noodles that I haven't seen anywhere else. If you aren't in the mood for any of the sauces the Laska, which is a curry coconut soup is perfect for a cold day. Make sure to ask for spicy or add your own spices, since it usually comes out bland without it. There is also rice dishes, but they never seem to be worth getting. The only complaint I have is that the sauces lack a depth of flavors like restaurants that focus on only one or two noodle dishes. However, for only $10 dollars, Toss has good portions sizes that is good for lunch and dinner! read more

I know that you can get different combos at Toss, but this review will be for my experience and the dish that I got. When you order, they give you a number and you put the number on your table. They come and deliver your food when it's ready. There's also self serve water with straws. I came here at around 7pm on a Tuesday night. It was pretty busy! I got the hokkien noodles stir fried Chinese style with chicken. The noodles were bouncy, chewy, and thick. Just how I like them! The flavor was sooooo good. It was like a soy sauce base with just a little sweetness to it. I loved the portion of vegetables and greens, and the carrots tasted extremely fresh. They were also very generous with the chicken (and there was a lot of it!) The portion size is quite big, so I ate half and took the other half home. It's pretty loud in there, so it might be a little difficult to hear if you're having a conversation. However, the food is so good-- definitely come here if you have the chance! read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Hokkien noodles Chinese stir fry with chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

I'm a first timer at Toss. I ordered the Hokkien noodles as my base with Chinese sauce and chicken as my protein. At first, the smell and flavor was strange to me. The taste was pretty fishy at first which I'm not a fan of. After eating more, I got used to it. For me, Toss Noodle Bar is just okay. read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Hokkien Noodles with Chinese Sauce and Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

Toss Noddle Bar is probably my favorite noodle place in all of Berkeley, and I don't know why I didn't go here since freshman year. TO be honest, I don't even remember what I ordered since I came a while back ago, but all I can tell you is that there isn't anything that can go wrong. Think of it as a subway, for noodles. haha, it's so customizable, and they even let you combine spaces which was pretty neat! This place isn't really great for large groups, which can be a downfall, but groups of 4 are perfect. read more

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

I've been coming here consistently during my time in Berkeley and it always satisfies. The menu is pretty simple in that you can build a noodle bowl from their choices of noodles, sauce, and protein. They also have rice as well as soup bases. There are also a couple of appetizer options, but I have yet to try them since I'm always super full from the noodles. My go-to combo is the Hokkien noodle with Chinese sauce and Chicken. I kind of wish they had more veggies and chicken inside the bowl, but the noodles are very nice and chewy and the sauce is really flavorful. It can be a little oily, but that's a minor detail. The portion sizes are actually enormous, and it's hard to tell from the giant bowl they serve it in. Very well worth your money. They also have vegetarian and vegan options as well! (I asked them to vegan-ize my noodle bowl once and they just took out the egg and fish sauce. Very nice of them!) Only con I can really think of is that sometimes there're a lot of flies that hang out inside the restaurant near the door. But otherwise the service is pretty fast and the food is really good. read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Hokkien noodles with Chinese sauce and chicken. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

Came here for the first time tonight. Kinda reminds me of a chipotle for noodles. You choose your noodles or rice, your sauce and the protein you would like on it. The restaurant has a super laid back atmosphere. You choose your own seats and order the food at the counter they give you a number and bring the food to you. I got the Hokkien noodles with Malay sauce and shrimp. The serving size was perfect and for a great price. I liked the noodles they were nice and thick and the Malay peanut sauce was super flavorful and good. I look forward to coming back here again and trying out different items on their menu. The special they had listed by the registers was a pork fried rice... definitely going to try that next time! read more

Addicting ! If you are in Berkeley it's a must. I can't find find wheat or Hokkien noodles anywhere near me. It's hard to selection because everything is good. I'm too far for delivery which is probably a good thing . read more

The noodles were such a great chewiness! Flavors mixed really well together and it was a good balance of noodle, meat, and vegetable. Recommend pairing your meal with the Thai iced tea. read more

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

Toss has honestly been one of my favorite go to restaurants whenever I'm craving some noddles! I usually order from their stir fry options and today I had a Thai wheat noodle with pork! Ordering was fast and easy and the service was relatively fast. The noodles were well flavored and had good proportions of vegetables, eggs, and your choice of protein. The only thing that I think could elevate their menu is having a spice option. The Thai flavor is supposed to be spicy sauce, but it wasn't spicy at all! I actually had to drench my bowl with saracha multiple times, which was fine, but I think having spice levels option would give customers more autonomy on how spicy they want their noodles! The pork was pretty soft and it was a good meal over all! read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Thai Wheat Noodle with Pork drenched in Saracha! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

I was excited to try this place out. I opt for thin rice noodles with Thai sauce and beef. It's about $11 and boy it filled me up a little too much. The veggies that come with the food are peppers of all colors, bean sprouts, broccoli, and I think that's it. Just a heads up in case u wanted to ask for veggies out A lower rating because I found two egg shells in my food, or one egg shell and one hair lol 50/50 I'll be back read more

Easy place to go for a dinner + movie date! Toss is located literally next door to one of the nicer movie theaters in Downtown Berkeley. It's super convenient to go check out the schedule and buy your movie tickets before going to eat at Toss. Give yourself at least 30 min to order/eat. Toss is a really cute but small location so it's often hard to get a table inside because they are really popular. They do a great job of getting the food out quickly. We went on a Sunday evening during peak hours and we got our food within 15 min of ordering. For a sort of fast food-ish place, the service is also great because they clear the tables for you as well! The menu in Toss is a 3-step build it yourself style. You choose either a type of noodles, rice, or fried rice then the flavor or curry, and lastly the protein. Vegetarian as always, we ordered red curry tofu over brown rice and the chef's special eggplant tofu over brown rice. Both were excellent and super filling! Great food and good prices!! read more

One of my favorite fusion Thai food. I would order toss every single day is it was up to me. The quite little restaurant is located on Shattuck Avenue. You have to stand in line to order the food and then find a spot to sit. The service varies depending on how busy the restaurant it. It is usually busy. You don't need to make a reservation for this place. But the food is so so so good.! I usually get the Hokkien noodles with a mixture of Thai and Malay sauce with chicken and I ask for it to be made extra extra spicy! but they can do varying spices. This place is great for dinner with friends, dinner on your own and take out! Everything is good here! read more

I love toss! I love noodles! You can't go wrong here! Fast food noodle style and I'm SO HERE FOR IT! Get the hokkien noodle with Thai/Malay sauce or with Japanese sauce! Their green curry with flat rice noodle is also a bomb choice. Enjoy and stay noodley my friends! read more

I came here a bunch while i was in college and had it again for the first time in a while today for lunch with my coworkers. I ordered the Hokien noodles x Thai sauce x Beef and Thai Iced Tea all for about $13. The hokien noodles are my favorite- the texture is chewy yet firm and thicker than udon (similar to the handmade noodles at Shandong). I also like how they didn't overdress with the Thai sauce (also delicious). Throw in some hot sauce and you've got the perfect concoction. Service is quick and friendly. Overall its a great grab and go type of restaurant. IG factor: B. they have cute new paintings on the wall and a interesting seating arrangement. def check it out. read more

Quality noodle options. Great to have some vegan selections too. Very informal- perfect for a group of friends.

Came in around 6:30pm on a Sunday night and had a moderate sized line and a moderate wait. Pretty good food overall. I got the Thai flat rice noodle with chicken, and it was flavorful and not too spicy (even though the menu said the Thai flavor is spicy, but depends on every person's spiciness tolerance I guess). The only thing I would say is that it's really loud inside since most of the customers are college students and it was hard for me to converse with the people next to me without talking quite loudly. read more

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

Simple, but so sweet. The prices aren't too expensive (less than $11), but the best thing is that the food comes out within 5 minutes, which is really quick! You come in and you select a type of noodle, soup base/sauce base, and meat. You get a variety of choices for each category. Pretty easy to navigate through the menu. You order at the counter, get a number, and find a free table to sit down at. They'll come out within 5 minutes and give you your food. The food itself is pretty solid. Nothing spectacular, but it's pretty decent and I'd come again for a nice quick meal. read more

I got the Hokkein noodles with the Thai sauce, it was very good. I added extra fried tofu and I think it made it so much better

A great place to go to after four hours of lecture and the morning coffee is wearing off. Healthy and fresh ingredients along with a nice, simple menu makes this a good idea for lunch. I had the glass noodles with a thai shrimp combination. The presentation is not the best, and the portion could be a bit larger for the price, but overall very enjoyable. read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Glass noodles with thai combination. Granted not the best presentation, but the flavors are definitely there. Great lunch! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

i had stalked the menu for this place a bit before going so i knew exactly what i was going to order although i feigned contemplation when we arrived. i ordered the hokkien noodles with japanese sweet and sour sauce and tofu. the portions were generous, i was able to get two meals out of my order (half was eaten there and the other half was taken back to my dorm). the vegetables they added had a nice variety and complimented the sauce very well. i'll have to go back and order a different combination to see if they all go together that well (i'm sure they do based on what my friends said about their orders)! i got exactly what i paid for and am looking forward to going again! read more

Toss Noodle Bar - hokkien noodles with japanese sauce and tofu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

Alongside the busy strip of Shattuck Avenue lies a somewhat hidden Toss Noodle Bar where one can customize their noodles to their liking. I've tried this place a couple times now and I find the concept to be quite interesting. All in all, it's similar to Pieology and Chipotle, but for noodles. Choose your meats, sauce, type of noodles, and etc. based on your own preferences and they'll make it for you. I've tried various combinations and for the price, I did enjoy what I got though I found that no matter what I chose the enjoyment per bite depreciated very quickly. I feel that Toss is special in it's wide variety of possible combinations, but in that variety, there is a lack of specialization and passion for the food it serves due to it's concept of personal customization. Overall, I would say it's a fun experience to try, but for a good noodle dish, I would prefer a location where the chef understands the flavors and combinations that work to make a fulfilling mix of flavors with personality. read more

I like the concept of build your own bowl....but the ingredients and sauce get a thumbs down from me. The shrimp was undercooked and the 'spicy Thai' sauce was barely there, barely any flavor. So basically I was given a bowl of noodles and a few broccoli florets... pass. I took the shrimp home to finish cooking it read more

Overall, the noodles are mediocre, no better than what you can make at your own kitchen. The $4 soups are especially not worth it at all. There is only broth and floating cilantro, no meat or any other vegetibles at all. Certainly won't come again. read more

I dont know if its a complete coincidence but.... the recent times that my friends and i have been here, we've all experiences stomach issues after eating here.

At first i thought it was a one time thing but now im not sure, just beware read more

With generous servings at an affordable price, Toss is the place to go if you're craving noodles. Toss offers great options for you to customize your dish. You get to choose your base, flavor, and meat/tofu topping. I ordered Thai flavored Hokkien noodles with beef - all for $9.95 (not including tax). The dish can easily be split into two servings. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of veggies and beef in my dish. You definitely get your money's worth here, if not more. The restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. It doesn't get too loud here so it's a great place to eat and chat. read more

Perfect quick casual dinning lunch. Everything was fresh and the flavors are all there. Will definitely go back when go to Berkely again. :)

I've only been once but this place is so yummy. I love places that let you customize your meals. You pick the type of noodle, protein, and sauce. I got the hokkien noodles (the type usually used in chow mein) shrimp, and Chinese sauce which has a soy sauce base. I was so happy with the flavor. I can't eat Chinese food a lot because of the MSG, so I'm happy to find this spot. They stir fry it with vegetables and voila! My husband who is not a noodle guy for the most part ordered the white rice with green curry sauce and beef and said it was really flavorful and exceeded his expectations. I will definitely be back. read more

The hokkein noodles tossed with Thai & Malay sauces with combination protein really hit the spot. The shrimp is juicy, pork, beef, chicken well dispersed in the noodles. The veggies are plenty and perfectly sauteed with a nice crunch. Great flavor and quick service as well as quite a good portion for the price point. Great value for college students. read more

Came here on a Friday night and it was not very packed, but parking was difficult as usual. I ordered the tomyum flat rice noodle with pork and my bf ordered the Thai style hokkien noodles tossed with chicken. Both were very flavorful and good. My bf likes his more but I would say the tomyum noodle soup tastes better. The portion was good with tons of veggies and pork. Another plus was that mine came out piping hot. We also ordered the steamed veggie dumplings. It didn't wow me or anything. It was bland and disappointing in my opinion. It came out last and it was a bit cold when i took the first bite. Overall, I would go back to try the other noodle dishes, specifically the laksa noodle soup since I saw a lot of people ordering that when I was there. read more

Omg, I just finished eating here for the first time, this is the best noodles dish I have ever had! I love spicy so I highly recommend the Thai thick ramen noodles. The dish was delicious and fresh and service was excellent. Will come back here again for sure!!!! The Thai iced tea are also to die for! read more

I've been here about three times and I got to say the noodles are delicious, so delicious the portions disappear before I realize, so I always end up leaving a little hungry :(.

Toss Noodle Bar is interesting in that you get to choose your own base (noodles or rice), sauce, and toppings (meat or vegetarian). The menu is this quite simple, and you can probably explore every menu option, haha. The food here is very tasty! The portions are huge as well. I definitely recommend this place. I like getting the Japanese style sauce and flat noodles. read more

I have two friends who are major foodies that live in Berkeley. For them to say that Toss is their fave place to eat is a huge deal. So of course, I had to check it out and see how extraordinary this place was. Everything is completely customizable. After staring at the menu, I ended up letting my boyfriend choose for me since he's had it a couple of times. To my surprise, he got me an off menu item. Garlic noodles!! Garlic anything is a hit with me and garlic noodles from toss my oh my was that good. The dish's main components was a Hokkien noodle base topped with chicken, parmesan cheese, and bean sprouts. To give it a little kick I'd add a heaping scoop of the sriracha looking sauce and you're set. I'd definitely recommend it to my fellow garlic lovers. I'm not sure if this will be a permanent item, but I'm happy I was able to try it. We ordered it to go cause we were bound to have leftovers, but I thought I honestly thought I'd finish it by the looks of it. Nope, I was proven wrong. There are noodles for days (literally). Service is quick and ordering is pretty simple. It seems to be a crowd favorite to many students and I can see why. read more

Toss Noodle Bar - Garlic Noodles!! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Berkeley, California

Gotta love Toss. This is the best quick, easy place to get your noodle fix! I would highly recommend the Tom Yum noodle soup if you want a lighter broth, or the Laksa noodle soup if you're looking for something a little heartier with more flavor and spices. I love coming here on a cold day to get that perfect, soul-warming bowl of soup. Also try their stir-fry with the spinach noodles! Honestly just a really solid meal for the price, just wish the environment was a little nicer, but for being right on Shattuck you can't really complain. They can get pretty packed around noon and around 6-7 while the Cal college is in session, so keep that in mind if you're looking for something quieter! read more

Good reliable tasty food. I've not had a bad meal here. The staff is friendly and if I'm in the area and need a quick and easy meal, Toss is my go to. read more

my experience: my friends recommended me this place and i came to try it for dinner. there was a line but it wasnt too bad and we found a spot within a few minutes. food/price: i tried the hokkien noodles with chicken and chinese sauce for under $12 you get a really filling meal and it's definitely closer to comfort food for me than anything. since it is a really casual place it makes it feel more like home since the food is so warm and delicious !! anyways, i know you are able to mix flavors but i have never tried it. it's definitely a popular spot for college kids to come and eat at. service: the food is brought out to you with your number sign and you order at the counter, mostly self served and you clean your own dishes but definitely a hectic and busy place to work at. notes: i would come back again! read more
