This is among the weirdest and worst Asian restaurants in Toledo, and that’s saying something because there are some really awful places to contend with. If you can get past how bizarre the actual space and the menu are, there are some edible things. I’ve had the phở there 3 times. It is not authentic phở and the«beef» they use is basically garbage, but the broth is ok and it’s a filling meal for around $ 10. Strangely it comes with flatbread, which is pretty good. The pan fried noodles are ok. Again, the meat quality is pretty low, but the dish, while kind of bland, isn’t too bad. The General Tso’s chicken is a bizarre version, in keeping with the restaurant’s super bizarre theme. You can also get spaghetti, quesadillas, and a host of other random stuff that I assume is probably not great. The lettuce wraps are a worthy appetizer and the pot stickers are ok too. Nothing here will blow you away. The service is always just completely awful. This isn’t really a restaurant so much as a hotel cafeteria. No one who works there knows anything about the food and doesn’t seem to care. It almost seems like they hire new people each day who happen to have the day off from Home Depot or some other totally unrelated job and who seem utterly mystified by Asia as a concept and wholly flabbergasted by the idea of Asian food. Strange place. Weird environment. Edible but not great food. Terrible service. There really is no real reason to go. But, if you’re up for a weird night, it’s worth trying(I guess) and the bar area isn’t so bad. They have a pool table and pricey-ish drinks.

I and my co-workers stopped back in to the Noodle Bar & Grill after not having dined there for a few months, and the food is still quite delicious. Everyone in my party of six enjoyed their dishes, from the phở to the udon to the philly steak subs. We were the only patrons for an early lunch on a weekday(we arrived before noon), so our water glasses were kept full and all three servers kept an eye on us. The tables are still a smidge wobbly, the tablecloths just an inch or two too short, and the ambiance and décor are at odds with the menu… but I stand by my decision to keep this on my list of lunch destinations for downtown Toledo. PS: My dining companions told me that, on a previous visit, they had each ordered the Asian Fusion Dog(a hot dog topped with kimchi), and neither were impressed by it, for different reasons. Sounds like a good concept that needs work, so try that one at your own risk.

This restaurant offers a unique Asian décor with interesting designs with the kitchen being placed in the front room with a habachi grill where cooking can be viewed. The prices are exceptionally reasonable at only $ 25 for two meals with an appetizer for my spouse and myself. The service however leaves something to be desired when ordering our drinks we waited an additional twenty minutes just to get them. Pur food was excellent although we saw two other tables order and receive their food before our order had been taken when my group was waiting on their checks asking several times for a box to take the leftovers home and being ignored by staff. Management was reluctant to offer a refund or discount for their service only offering an apology and a coupon for a future visit. Needless to say if you’d like to experience a cheap americanized Asian restaurant with service being on lar with a fast food establishment id recommend this eatery to you
