We had a party of 6 adults and 5 children. Our server was really good overall and she was very attentive to the kids. The food was good. Not great, but nothing to complain about. If you want good Thai food I suggest you take the short trip to Asian Experience in Taft. I probably won't come again, just because we have such amazing Thai food locally. Again, though, service was very good.

noodles seemed old. Me and my date couldn't eat more than two bites of the food we got . I ordered pad tai and she ordered some kind of soup. 65 bucks for two bites of food and a soda .

I wanted to surprise my friend with dinner, so I opted for a different restaurant instead of revealing our plans. Despite her craving for Chef's Noodle Bar, we decided to give it a try. It was my second visit here, the first time leaving me with mixed feelings due to the pricing not quite matching the portion sizes. We settled on one hot tea, garlic edamame, and two servings of drunken noodles, each customized with fresh veggies and beef. The bill came to over $70. The garlic edamame was flavorful, but perhaps a tad too intense for my taste, despite my usual love for bold flavors. As for the drunken noodles, they were undeniably delicious, yet I found them to be overly seasoned and high in sodium. Pairing them with white rice would have balanced out the flavors better. With the additional ingredients, it made for a satisfying meal, with leftovers for lunch the next day. Service-wise, it was satisfactory, although the water tasted straight from the tap without any filtration. Would I return? Maybe, but it wouldn't be my top choice for dining out.

Okay, not what I would normally order at a Thai or Asian place, but.... Their Spicy Shrimp and Scallop Penne was great. First off, the flavor was excellent, but more impressive than that is the portions/ratios. There a few noodle scallop dishes that don't leave you with a plate full of noodles once you've finished all the scallops. This one had enough scallops to last till I was all the way through the Penne. So yes, order an Italian Pasta dish from an Asian joint, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing pad Thai. Lots of sauce and good portion of food. So happy I came across this place again. Always quality food.

Made reservations for 6pm on a Friday with my family and it was a pretty good spot. Cute ambiance in the reseraunt, wasn't too packed but I still recommend you call and make reservations. Good extensive menu. So depending on what your looking for, they more then likely have it. We decided to try the Cashew Nut with shrimp, Mongolian Beef, Veggie Chow Mein, Veggie Glass Noodle, and Pad Thai with shrimp. In my opinion, the STARS of the evening were the Monngolian Beed and the Veggie Glass Noodle, honestly a 10/10. So much flavor and the quality is superb. The cashew nut shrimp was very good and would have to rate a 8/10. Pad Thai and Chow Mein came in as my least favorite and would have to give it a 6.5 out of 10. We went with a deser and tried the mango sticky rice and it was very good! Warm, full of flavor, and yet again great quality. Would have to rate that a solid 8.5 out of 10. Overall, pleased with my dinner and will defenitly return for that Mongolian beef and glass noddles! Thanks Chefs Noodle Bar for the good dinner. Till next time.

First time here, service was amazing! Our serving was a sweetheart! I forgot her name but she did just get engaged!! We were excited for her, we all bonded with engagement and wedding talks. I digress, the ambience is super cool hip vibes, service was fast for food. Food wasnt bad but i got to give it another try, most of what we got was good, just the drunken noodles i took home to my husband was overly sauced and the noodles turned a little mushy. But the rice was delicious!!!! Definitely i wanna give this place another shot, i gave 4 stars because of server and the staff! Wonderful people and they let us stay until after closing, super kind!! We were a group of loud girls lol.

I came here on Valentine's Day, 2024. There was a bit of a wait which was perfectly fine. But while I was waiting for my table, my appetite was ruined. One of the servers wearing gloves, saw his boyfriend or something ordering food to-go. He then decided to come over and slap the gentleman on the butt cheek right in front of my face. Said server then proceeded to continue serving tables with the same gloves on. Kind of strange thing to do in a restaurant like this. I left. Food looked like overpriced Thai food anyways. If you know, you know.

The server was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. We had appetizers and dinner. The portion where large, so we did had leftovers. The ambiance was perfect for a quiet dinner. It was an enjoyable dinner, and we will definitely return.

First restaurant ive ever got food poisoning on the spot, Hadnt even left the building. The food was way too sweet(yes i know its meant to be a sweet and sour type of thing) but it was way too much. Really looked foward to trying this place but it was not for me.

This place was super busy! There's a bar in the front, which looked super popular. The restaurant area is a bit quieter and located in the back. Service was exceptional. Orders: Pho: not my favorite, but also not bad! We probably won't order this again because the flavors weren't strong enough. Pad see ew with tofu: you get to choose your protein, so if you don't like tofu, you got options! I REALLY liked this. It had good flavors, textures, and noodle to veggie ratio. Would def order this again. I'd be excited to try more things on their menu! Especially the noodle dishes!

Worst thai food ever .. this is some white wash shit . Not spicy barely any fish sauce .. lack of flavor and a waste of 70 bucks .. I make better Thais food out of my own kitchen ... if your white and don't like flavor then this is for you
