Yum!! Freshly cooked, flavourful broth. Had the Dan Dan noodles and spicy beef noodles. Also the spicy short ribs. Very clean and beautiful restaurant. Excellent service.

The food here is amazing and so fresh. Best ramen around!
Crab Rangoon, and ribs are literally to die for best we’ve ever had.

We happened upon this hidden gem and have continued to frequent it since.This is a small restaurant run by a local family. Even though the menus is small, everything on it is delicious! We’ve tried it all.For appetizers we usually get the spare ribs, which have a slight spicy flavor. They are so good! The lobster rangoons are probably my least favorite because of too much cheese and not really containing chunks of lobster (more like lobster flavored cheese). My husband craves the Shanghai wonton soup which has a light broth and amazing pork wontons. I always get the Xiaolong Bao, which is a steamed pork soup dumpling. Scallion pancakes are crispy and the pan fried dumplings are so flavorful.Of course, the noodle bowls are the best part. The portions are large so we usually split one. It’s definitely enough for two people.If you are looking to try something local that isn’t seafood focused (you are in Maine after all) then this is the place for you. The staff is amazing and you’ll leave satisfied.

Fantastic noodles, the scallion pancakes were some of the best I have ever had. Dumplings were amazing, better than any I’ve had from DC to Florida to Maine. We had two different types of ramen, one with tender pieces of pork and one with ground beef in a spicy peanut sauce. Will definitely be back, with a small but refined menu, my family and I are going to try the whole menu at some point.Also to add to the commenter complaining about vegan options, pretty sure a tomato broth with vegetables is vegan, just ask for it without the egg? Seems pretty simple to me.Dietary restrictions: Accommodated my shellfish allergyParking: Plenty of parking out back

No vegan options. EDIT: Responding to restaurant’s comment. Your vegetable ramen has egg in it, which is not vegan. My review is accurate.

The food was fantastic and incredibly fresh. I wish we had known about this place earlier, as we live not to far away. We will for sure be back again very soon!
Everything was delicious at 518 Noodle Bar! We went for dinner and loved everything we ordered. Tasty apps (crab rangoons & dumplings), fun cocktails, and a solid variety of entrees (ramen, noodle dishes, meat & vegetarian options). Staff was also so friendly and accommodating. I’d definitely go back!
Excellent ramen, dim sum and appetizers. Have come here over a dozen times and every time it is consistently amazing. Bless the people who work here, very welcoming and pleasant!

Went for an early dinner, no one else was eating there at the time. Staff was very nice and attentive. We ordered scallion pancakes, spicy peanut wontons, cashu pork ramen and spicy beef ramen -- all were delicious! Very fair prices for the quality and amount of food you get!
Amanda C.
Yum! The soup dumplings and crab Rangoon, shu mai were delicious. Everything was homemade, service was quick and we ate all that we could fit. Would come back again if it were closer to me!

Was looking at Yelp for a place to eat and came across 518 Noodle. Reviews were good and we were in the mood for a light dinner so we decided to check it out. Reviews were right about it being a little hard to see unless you are actively looking for it. Pulled into the area, saw there were 2 parking spots in front so we grabbed one. Seated right away and served quickly. We all kind of knew what we wanted as we had checked the menu prior to getting there. Appetizers were wuick and good. Ramen was tasty. If zi had one criticism it would be there was a lot of vegetables in the ramen. But it all paired well.
