Guess I won’t be ordering from Chef’s Choice Noodle Bar anymore. They left off half my order, put me on hold for 15 minutes to “check with a supervisor” about what to do, and then when I called back because of being on hold so long, told me there was no supervisor and they are too busy, so I should call back later.

I ordered directly from their website, but they said because it was a 3rd party that did the delivery, I would have to go through them, even though the issue is that the restaurant left food out.

I tried to go through the delivery app, and they say to contact the restaurant for any issues. This has been my go-to restaurant for years, and I’m incredibly disappointed in the way they handled this. Apparently they have no problem taking people’s money without providing what’s been paid for.

The absolute worst, most belligerent people working there that I have ever encountered in any establishment...
Called back due to incomplete delivery order received, young lady did not give her name, spoke over me continually forcing me to request a manager...
Manager comes to the phone and I ask for her first name only so I can document who I spoke to in the event my concerns were not resolved...
Manager became rude and told me it should not matter...
I then told her I did not appreciate her speaking to me in that manner and manager hung up on me...
I called back, told the girl that answered that I did not appreciate being hung up on before, told her to have a blessed day and ended the call...
I will not lower myself to their rude and belligerent standards, but I will leave this detailed review...

Jackie is our server and she is excellent! First time here and I’m from Tennessee! The ambiance is nice soft music. The facility is very clean and comfortable. The Voka wings, drunken noodles, fried green beans, calamari, gyoza, and the garlic edamame were to die for! You guys ROCK!!!
My only request is that you look for a spot to open up a restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee. Thank you Jackie for amazing service. You are the best server I’ve seen in a long while.

- Green . Delicious and totally hits the spot. Small portion size for the price, though. I love the coconut rice it can come with.
- Pad . It was too sweet and didn’t taste right.
- Drunken .
- Thai Tea with . It’s egregious to call this concoction boba. The drink tasted sour and watery, like someone dumped a tea packet in water. I’m never ordering boba from a non-boba-focused vendor again. I had to throw it away.

Overall, I wouldn’t really dine here again considering it is quite expensive and most of the dishes weren’t worth it. I would do take out for the green curry only.

For over 15 years, Chef’s Choice Noodle Bar has been a constant in my life — and for good reason. When they moved from their original downtown spot to the southwest, I was worried Bakersfield had lost one of its culinary treasures. Thankfully, they didn’t disappear — they just upgraded, and I would’ve followed them anywhere.

This place is the definition of consistency. The service is always warm, attentive, and quick, and the food? Bold, fresh, and absolutely unforgettable. From the Pad Thai that bursts with color and flavor, to crispy tofu stir-fry with the perfect balance of spice and crunch, to wok-tossed glass noodles that taste like comfort in a bowl — every dish has its own personality and packs a punch.

What I love most is the atmosphere. It’s one of those rare spots where you can come with friends, family, or even solo, and it always feels right. Chef’s Choice has become more than just a restaurant — it’s a Bakersfield staple, a place that’s woven into the community, and one I can’t imagine this city without.
