Noodle ChaCha

LOL! Just logged in and realized this review never posted from back in December 2012! Oh, well. Better late than never! :D
First off, I didn’t want to give these guys even one star. They are that bad. But since I was forced to choose one, I did. So here is my review: Atrocious! This place has the worst service I’ve experienced in my life. It took them so long to take our initial order. My friend asked for beef noodle soup, not spicy and without the meat that comes with it normally. They brought out her soup and it was beyond spicy. We asked the waitress if her soup could please be replaced by something similar but less spicy. The waitress suggested the Phở combo, minus the meat and my friend agreed. Twenty minutes later, they still had not brought her food and had obviously and intentionally ignored us. My boyfriend then went over to talk to one of the waitresses who was helping us to ask what was going on. This was when the waitress told us that she had canceled the replacement order because they don’t do «substitutions». Um, how is an order of Phở, minus the meat that normally comes with it, a substitution? And why wouldn’t you tell my friend that the order had been canceled or ask if she wanted to order something else? When we asked the waitress this question, she said, «We have the right to refuse service!» What a psycho! She never told us that the order had been canceled and that she wasn’t even willing to serve us any longer. Her husband then came out of the kitchen and chased us out of the restaurant and other patrons who may have been relatives of the staff followed us out and threatened us in the parking lot. One patron got right in my face and would not back away till my boyfriend told him to back up. This was just a horrible experience. Very unprofessional. Not that it matters because I wouldn’t recommend going there ever but the food, although not actually authentic, is actually tasty.

Noodle Hindu?
Maybe its noodle who doo giggles ok noodle voo doo but call it what you will these noodles are very good. More than just good. They are better than love making in the rain with things like whipped cream or caramel. Oh my bad back to the review… These are some damn good noodles. Upon first look I thought that the place was made after the cartoon Pucca. Anyway I went in and bam I became addicted to the noodles. I love the Sweet and Sour Chicken w/​noodles. The Watermelon Banana Crush is so good. You have to try that.

Looking at the menu, I thought that there were too many cuisines and types of dishes to be good at any of them. So I tried just Chinese for this visit.
We had:
Duck Buns — They fry their buns so the texture is different from the soft bun, but it was really tasty because it is fried. The duck was good and not too fatty. I liked this minus the fact my fingers were all oily and greasy.
Shrimp Chow Fun — The sauce sauteed into the noodles were not salty like most restaurants. The shrimp were a decent size and not overcooked. Since I love ho fun noodles, this was almost a guaranteed winner anyway.
Wonton Noodles — Broth was authentic and had a good Hong Kong wonton noodle flavor. The wontons were meaty and the noodles were al dente. Good ingredients all together made this dish outstanding.
Yes, I would come back if in the neighborhood. They had a 2 for 1 special when I was there, can’t beat that.

Ate here a few times when they first opened and the food was OK. It was a nice change of pace from the other restaurants near my school so I really wanted to like the up-​and-​coming asian fuzion restaurant.
The past 3 times I wanted to eat here, THEY WERE ALWAYS CLOSED for some reason. Their hours on Unilocal and on their websites are clearly stated, but they always close early! It’s really a bummer when you think a place closes at 10p and you call to order take out over an hour before they are set to close and no one picks up a phone.
Very disappointing and management should definitely look into stable hours. They’ve only been open for less than a year but if things keep going as they are, sadly this restaurant will to fall by the wayside.

I had the spicy beef noodle soup and almond milk tea with boba. I wasn’t really a fan of the soup flavor; it really couldn’t compare to the authenticity of those which you would find in the 626 of socal. It was kinda sour, kinda spicy. Not the hearty beef noodle soup I was craving, but the actual pieces of beef were pretty good. I did sample my sister’s dish – can’t remember what it was, but it consisted of dry noodles, fish sauce and a sweet, bbq pork – and I definitely liked hers better. So I wouldn’t rule out the restaurant completely, but I wouldn’t recommend the beef noodle soup. The boba and tea were pretty good compared to the other places I’ve tried around HEnderson/​LV.
I would definitely want to come back and try more of their dishes!

Wow!
Real good food at a real good price!
(The buy 1 meal, get 1 free deal is awesome and has great choices)

Leave it to this little unassuming place to have one of the best Kung Pao chicken with DARK sauce at an Americanized restaurant. Also ordered the lunch special Chow Mein which was just like a good Mongolian grill would do.
Place is nice and clean and food comes out quick. Looking forward to trying the duck sliders next time around.
Love all the different Asian dishes. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai etc. Such a nice variety! They also have boba drinks.
Service was excellent and attentive.
Lunch specials are $ 6.95 with either soup or salad and egg roll. Great value for good food.
We found a new after school spot!

Not bad at all for Asian food away from Chinatown. I bought a Groupon for Noodle ChaCha a while back and almost forgot about them. When the expiring soon offers came up, I scrambled to go use it. After a few attempts, and misses, I finally got to eat here. Note: They are closed Monday.
Three of us came in for lunch. We all ordered boba, smoothies, and milk tea. Not a bad start. Their Green Smoothie is not so heavy on the spinach, but has more strawberries and banana in it. That was the predominant flavors. The boba had a nice consistency, too.
Definitely get the duck sliders to start because I would have made a meal out of those alone. The meat is juicy, tender, and crisp. The bao is fried slightly to give it even more texture.
I don’t recommend the tom yum soup. It was not very wow worthy. It fell flat in the tang and tasted cheap. The Singapore noodles with beef was delicious. The beef was cooked beautifully. It just tore when you bit into it. The Shanghai pork chops was another favorite. So much flavor and it stayed consistently crispy. I would not mind eating here again if I am on this side of town.

For the price you can’t go wrong!
Location: They are located off of Sunset road, before the intersection of Sunset & Mt. Vista. It a freestanding building, you can’t miss the sign.
Ambiance: Inside it looks like a typical Asian restaurant, nothing fancy. It was clean which was a plus.
Service: The waitress was very friendly and helpful with the menu. She gave me recommendations since it was my first time. Service time was standard.
Food: I ordered the duck sliders for appetizers. It was pretty good. I ordered off of the special menu, which was buy one get one free. I ordered 2 ramen, Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and cold Vietnamese noodles (to go). First of all, the portions was HUGE, which is always good with me. The ramen was pretty good but needed some fixing up. A little soy sauce and Sriracha made it all better. Same went for the Taiwanese beef noodle soup with a little help I turned a 5 into an 8. For the price you can’t beat it. The Vietnamese cold noodles I took it home which made a wonderful late night snack.
Value: The special menu is great! Buy one get one free, you can’t go wrong. Four meals for $ 16 is a steal. Especially with the portions being so huge you gotta love it.
*tips: order off the special menu it’s buy one get one free. If you are using groupons you can’t use it in combination with the specials menu. If you’re alone you can still get that BOGO free deal and take one to go.
I gave them a 3 out of 5 because I gotta keep it really. It isn’t the greatest, but for the price you can’t go wrong. It’s a great week night eat with the family when you don’t feel like cooking.

It’s so Nice to have a restaurant that serves Good Asian Food that compares to the China town /​Sprint Mt. area.
Currently they have awesome deals on noodle soups, less than $ 10.00 for two large bowl of noodle soups, you can’t beat that. But dine in only, make sure you bring a friend or clone yourself.

The two best ways for a restaurant to earn points from me are through execution of authenticity, or innovation. This place fulfills the latter.
We came here with a groupon (if you read my reviews, you’ll find that’s often the case for me) and were promptly seated. It seemed to be a typically slow week night. No matter, we perused the menus at our leisure. I noticed they do the «pan-​asian» thing, which is to say that they don’t really offer any one particular style of asian food but instead offer a little bit of everything. I’m not generally a fan of such a model because I feel it detracts from the potential quality you can get if you concentrate your efforts into mastering one particular style of cooking. However, these guys proved me wrong and managed to pull off a decent meal for both of us.
We bided our time with some tasty edamame. It was salty and delicious. After much debate, I ended up choosing the kimchi beef fried rice (obviously a dish inspired in part by korean flavors) while my girlfriend chose the singapore noodles with chicken. First things first– the portion sizes are are very impressive for the price. I really don’t think they should be listed as a $$ restaurant– one entrée is more than enough food for two people, and you can get many things here for less than ten dollars. We ended up getting pretty stuffed and had plenty left over.
My fried rice was the most interesting I have ever tasted. They added just enough kimchi to keep the flavor unique in every bite. It also was not overpoweringly spicy, which may be a good thing depending on your palate’s limitations. I could have done with a bit more meat, but the rice itself tasted pretty fresh, and it was not overly greasy. The singapore noodles were also excellent. No shortage of meat there. They used angel hair pasta, a bit of saffron, and indian spices to create a very unique dish– the likes of which I have never experienced. To me, new flavors are good (usually) and this place ended up being a pleasant surprise. They offer many other dishes with other countries of inspiration, and I do look forward to trying them soon.

Definitely a good place to satisfy my asian food needs. It’s not like the places in Chinatown, but it’s not like Panda Express either. They always seem to have some type of deal on groupon, which is nice.
I like their beef chow fun and the sweet and sour chicken. Portions are fairly big with enough leftovers for another meal. They also have a $ 1 boba milk tea special, which is definitely not bad for $ 1. I’ve also tried their spring rolls, but they weren’t that special. kinda pricey for the small amount that you get, and nothing to rave about.
Plenty of parking and nice booth seating inside!

Located on Sunset just up the hill from Arroyo Grande. Good parking in a private lot.
Lunch good. Good service. Huge Asian food menu all styles Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese and Thai. Lots of drinks, smoothies and coffees.
Groupon 50% off $ 15 for $ 30 deal.
We started off with Vietnamese coffee and watermelon banana crush smoothie. Both looked right, presented well and tasted good.
Appetizers went for #5 Vietnamese fresh spring rolls. They looked right, but sorry no fortune cookie here. They definitely were not fresh and tasted wrong. But again looked right and had the right items in it. They were very cold like sitting in a freezer. Yuck. Only ate a couple bites. Done
OK, so comes the Mongolian beef which they recommended as a specialty. The dish looked good other than the crunchy rice noodle on top hiding it. But food underneath looked, smelled and tasted good. Plenty of food served and didn’t skimp.
We ordered the #33 Thai Tom Kha Gai Rice Noodle Soup. NO GO. They don’t have that anymore.
So closest thing that sounded like it and almost the same ingredients minus the coconut milk was #32 Thai Tom Yum Goong Rice Noodle Soup. i loved the bold lemongrass flavor with a spicy kick. Really good taste and a huge bowl enough for 2 people.
Restaurant was clean and service was good.
Ordered Overall good experience. But the frozen appetizer started it bad and I couldn’t shake the thought that it all was all going to be bad because i almost left. I was a little worried because the seemed to have everything and specialize in not one type of Asian food.
Should get 3 ½ stars but no spot for it.
Will probably try it again.

I have been here twice, twice with groupons supplied by my friend Susan D., and luckily I purchased one for the next visit.
The first time we met there, they had barely joined the throes of Vegas new restaurants, and in this cursed location, I was wary. The drinks (boba) took forever, we did not get water until after we got our food, and the service was eh. It was lunch and they had specials, so we had to work at spending the groupon amount. I had phở that was not memorable. I remember it now because last night Susan D. and I tried to figure out what I had, and I remembered that I had tried making my own phở the night before and it was a flop, so I had some here to redeem myself.
What was memorable though were the Peking duck sliders for the appetizer. The steamed buns are fried, with Peking duck and hoisin sauce inside and a side of cucumbers and scallions.
After the next round of groupons came out, we both purchased one, but mine was in Eric R.‘s account and he is out of town, so Susan D. and I decided to have a late dinner at Noodle ChaCha last night after I finished teaching. This was planned in advance, and apparently was the latest she had ever eaten dinner! Our server was very nice and we got our waters and drinks quickly. She had a smoothie and I ordered hot green tea.
We immediately did an order of the duck sliders. They were just as good as we remembered. The hard part is there are many dishes on the menu with duck so I could have had more duck — duck salad, duck soup, duck noodles. Yet I was doing the hot tea thing to prevent getting sick since I encounter a zillion students a day, and so I opted for soup. I ordered the tom yum goong. It was HUUUUUGE. A bowl full of spicy lemongrass-​galangal broth with kaffir lime leaves, rice noodles, mushrooms, and huge shrimp. It was very tasty and satisfying. I also liked that my nose ran from the heat.
Susan D. had the Noodle ChaCha fried rice with the huge shrimp and she was happy with her dish and smoothie. We had a good experience and will return. I recommend for first timers the Peking duck sliders and the tom yum goong (if you like spiciness). There are so many other dishes to choose from though from various Asian influences. Also, the price is right! With the groupon, the meal with tip was under $ 11 for 2.

Alright, I will try it again but the first time was really nothing special and in fact, kind of annoying.
First of all, the service was terrible. It took forever to get our order taken, the three dishes came out at three different times (they seem to have an aversion to trays), and there were about 5 workers all chillin’ on their cell phones in plain sight in the restaurant.
My main complaint: the menu clearly states that the lunch specials are served daily 11am-​4pm. Perfect! We were there on a Sunday around 2pm. Love it. Can’t wait to get the vegetable Pad Thai lunch special. Our first server did not make mention of the fact that they were not honoring their own menu specifications, so we had all decided on lunch specials. Then, our second server (yes, two servers… remember how I said the service was annoying?) said as we were looking at the lunch specials, «Oh, we’re not doing those today.» Umm, okay, that would have been nice to know. Inform your patrons upon seating them that you’re not going to allow your own printed specials.
Whatever though, I overlooked it and ordered the dinner serving of Pad Thai. It was good, very good even, but I was so off-​put by the terrible service and their deciding to «not do those» lunch specials on the Sundays that I believe the place warrants two stars. I will give it a couple more months and go back when they have their ducks in a row when it comes to service.
They do have a Unilocal check-​in offer that they did choose to accept, though – 10% off your meal!

Ah NO. Came here on a groupon and we will not be back. We ordered the following:
–Walnut Shrimp: Was ok. Nothing special
–Orange Beef: My favorite non-​authentic dish and it was such a huge disappointment. The meat was chewy (eww), and the batter was soggy (ewwer).
–Vegetable Stir Fry: Basic stir fry with carrots, broccoli, snap peas. Can’t mess this dish up.
–Brown rice: upcharge fee of $ 1 since we wanted brown instead of white rice.
–Milk tea w/​boba at the promo price of $ 1: boba was kinda hard, like it has been sitting there for a while. As cheap as it is, I did not get a second.
I have experienced better and needless to say, I will not return.

We came on a wed night and ordered the wanton noodle soup (8), chicken pineapple fried rice (8), and beef pad thai (8), with tapioca milk tea (1) and a lychee tea with lychee pieces (4) for 29. We used a groupon, 15 for 30, so ended up paying 19.
— Aji-sen’s cousin? Lol. The character is pretty similar. Cute
— Clean and spacious. It seems like it just opened. 2 other couples were there.
— Friendly service. Waiter was very polite.
— Portions are generous. We had to doggie bag most of the food surprisingly. I’m a big eater
— Taste was above average. Pretty simple cooking, hard to go wrong. With the groupon, it just tasted so much better ~_​_​_​_​~!
— They had the «carpet» food on top of the pineapple fried rice. Lol
— Tapioca milk tea is pretty disgusting. Bland flavor and hard boba. No wonder its $ 1. It should be free!

Hate to be critical of a new place that’s close to my school, but it’s a bit tough to give them high marks based on what I ate last week. My friends and I all had lunch specials since you get one free if you buy four. I had the #2 lunch special, a noodle soup with duck, and the duck didn’t match my expectations. It was a little bit tough and didn’t carry that much duck flavor or even any fat, and I didn’t like being forced to gnaw on all the bones in a short period of time while my friends were having fried rice and whatnot.
I did taste some friends’ fried rice and noodle dishes, but you have to do duck well to serve it so prominently. Also, there’s so much ice in the bubble tea ($ 1 sale for grand opening) that I finished it within a couple minutes of receiving my order. I’ll give it another try and hopefully re-​rate them, but they’ve gotta do a little better if they wanna fill that large space one day.

Dropped by for lunch on an early Saturday afternoon. Only one other table of guests there, but considering how new they are, that wasn’t surprising. The server we had was obviously new to the job, but she did well.
Ordered the Ma Po Tofu and the Baked Pork and Rice with Portuguese sauce. Both dishes tasted good.
This restaurant is a good place to try some Hong Kong «western» style dishes. They are a very good east side of town alternative to the wealth of Chinese restaurants on Spring Mountain Rd.

On my way to Ross J’s for some Korean chicken I spotted this new restaurant with a grand opening sign and cartoon character. I quickly flipped a u up the hill in hopes to being the FTR but nope beat LOL. I quite don’t remember what was here before but I’ve been here before just can’t remember. Big parking lot and lots of seating. Maybe no room for chacha.
13 iced flavor milk teas such as honey milk green tea, taro milk tea, rose milk tea. 10 iced teas such as bubble green or black tea, mango, plum, passion fruit, lychee. 6 fruit smoothies and 9 other drink that’s 38 different drinks, crazy, and you can also add jelly for extra charge. YEESSS
They have roast duck so of course I had to get some. Owner recommanded the roast duck and wonton noodles soup. It’s like he was reading my mind. As a lunch special its $ 7.95 and comes with an egg roll and choice of egg drop soup or salad. Loved the duck and wonton, the broth was between good and ok, and not a fan of the noodles felt packaged maybe?! It threw me off since it says «serious noodles» in their logo. But still the dish and price overall is pretty good.
Their whole roast duck is only $ 24 has to he a steal, half is $ 13, and regular portion $ 10. Their menu looks so delicious and yummy and want to try more but its just to far out of the way for me. I can’t keep passing this area and not go Ross J’s or Chicken Shack.
17 lunch specials for $ 8 can’t go wrong. In the theirs about 73 different choices on the menu, there could be more. Phở, udon, ramen, kimchi fried rice, pad thai, mapo tofu, just check out my menu pics for all the details.
Customer service was good, very friendly.
Down side is theres $ 20 minimum for using credit cards. So glad I had cash other wise I had to watch dishes LOL
