The Noodle Vietnamese & Thai Cuisine, located in Chicago’s vibrant Chinatown, has garnered an impressive array of positive reviews from first-time diners. Guests are particularly enchanted by the variety of pho offerings, with standout dishes like the Steak Pho and Tom Kha soup receiving high praise for their bold flavors and hearty portions; both are priced attractively at $11.99. Travis Fredricks notes the swift service and highlights the Sweet Chili Salmon as a must-try, emphasizing the overall quality of the cuisine. Bella20 appreciates the sweet and sour notes of the Tom Kha, complemented by the restaurant's cleanliness and friendly staff. First-time pho taster Christa “Foodie wit a Bootie” also enjoys the inviting atmosphere, though she finds the appetizers to be fairly standard. While the food shines, some diners, like Kayden, have expressed mixed feelings about service consistency, particularly in regard to accommodating requests. Nonetheless, Laura A attests to the satisfying taste of the chicken soup, recommending the eatery for its delicious offerings and warm, cozy vibe. With hurdles like parking being the only notable challenge, The Noodle presents a delightful culinary experience worth revisiting in the heart of Chicago's Chinatown.

First time customers. My family and I loved it. We were served quickly. The food was great. The water was crisp and clean. The Sweet Chili Salmon didn't stand a chance.

The staff was very nice and the food was great! I got the Tom Kha which is a good sweet and sour soup and had little mushrooms in it! The restrooms were very clean as well. Would go again!

This was my first pho experience and let me just say I am HOOKED! This is a nice little cozy place in Chinatown. The service was great. The servers were funny. Nothing to brag about the appetizers. They were exactly what you would expect. But I will say the crab ration were much better than your average takeout.

Honestly great food over all! Really enjoy their pho& usually get take out from here. But the service is questionable, to be honest. Sometimes I’d dine in with my friends and they’ll refuse to give us extra lemons? I don’t see how that affects their business.

I’ve been here at least twice because of the great taste of the chicken soup. It’s a large bowl with great flavor for only 11.99. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service was good too. Parking can be a challenge because it is in China town. Be sure to fed the meters when you park on the streets. The meter maids frequent the area often.

Popped in for a quick bite. We got beef sesame noodle salad and potstickers. Food was great. I would have preferred steamed potstickers but I wasn't asked. They were still good. The staff were friendly and quick. Would stop in again.

I had Pho Beef Noodle soup since I was feeling under the weather and hot pot tea . My wife had the chicken pho with shrimp Tempura that was delicious, exceptionally service, and friendly! Would definitely come back again.

I come here every time I'm in Chicago! All of their Pho is amazing, but it is a really big portion so be sure to go with an empty stomach.
