service is fast, food is delicious. my favorite is carbonara, also tried pad thai, garlic fried chicken, ramyeon bbq pork etc. the only thing is that the pink milk is NOTHING like the photo- it looks straight up like pepto bismol and I have no idea what flavor it is, it just tastes artificial.

Not gonna lie, at first I was skeptical and thought to myself that I could just make these noodles at home if they’re just gonna use instant noodles! But I gave it a try and they’re honestly really good if you’re really hungry and in the area! I’ll probably come back again.

I ordered the Tom Kha Udon soup to go, I like the fact that if you order to go the broth it’s separate from the noodles and the rest of the ingredients. The soup broth was really good it had alot of flavor to it. The chicken was really tender. I will be ordering again.

Piping hot delicious food prepared in the back kitchen served in compostable trays. The screen make the ordering process clear and simple. You can eat for under $15. Tucked away, look for it.

Great portion sizes, it's basically instant noodles. The one time I had it it was rather oily but honestly a comfort food! good location for students, parking is rather limited.

Some of the worst quality pork I've been served, feels like I paid $16 for instant ramen and fat trimmings

Listen, I'm not going through my second childhood, more like my 17th. I'm not sure what gravitates me toward the Sather Gate Center, but it seems to pull me in. Jamie W. and I go to Yogurt Park all the time because we admire their technique of folding the toppings inside the froyo. However, I was disheartened by the lackluster Korean food I had at T-Toust (review: yelp.to/Sr0Of0OlW9).Only begrudgingly did I allow myself to try Noody like I was a freshly scrubbed undergrad looking for a between-classes meal. The reality was that I was hungry enough to try it against what's left of my better judgment. I have to admit my verdict was that it was pretty good for what it was. I had the $13 Beef Noodle Soup with beef brisket and flat rice noodles.Mixed in the broth were bean sprouts, bok choy, green onion, and cilantro (photo: yelp.to/eWvSDYTaH5). Downtown to the carton container, it was honestly like a Cup o' Noodles with a bit more character and a tad more flavor. Packages of familiar Asian instant noodles were cheekily used as decorating elements against the dining area wall. I could envision eating here after my Comp Lit class at Dwinelle.FOOD - 3 stars...surprisingly hearty beef noodle soup in a cardboard containerAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...open space with a contemporary touchSERVICE - 3 stars...just counter serviceTOTAL - 3 stars...reasonably good execution at this student-targeted eateryRELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

In a nutshell: make it fancy, instant ramen ver. ___________Stumbled upon Noody with my roommate while taking a shortcut through the cool passageway back to my dorm, and we couldn't go without checking it out. Ten stars to the store's interior design-from the hot pink neon sign to the wall of aesthetic instant ramen packages, Noody guarantees a satisfying dinner and cute photos with friends! The concept of fancy instant ramen intrigued my friend and I (it totally sounds like an oxymoron), and we both ordered the most popular option on the menu: garlic noodle fried chicken ($13). Enjoyed the slick garlic butter noodles, which were flavourful and generously portioned, but I found the strips of fried chicken had softened and lost their crispy texture. From the perspective of my college student bank account, $13 for a dish we could technically whip up ourselves is on the pricer side, so I probably won't be going back, but Noody's definitely worth a try for anyone curious about "gourmet" instant ramen.
Came here after an event at CAL, affordable, delicious, and lots to choose from. Easy seating, we liked the garlic butter noodles, chicken satay, corn cheese, and bread bombs.Kids loved it too!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My go to is the pad Thai with ground pork and it hits the spot every time. Prices are pretty standard, being around $15 with good size portions. Food comes quickly and the restaurant has a fun ambiance.

This is like ultimate lazy dinner option LOL. Dressed-up instant noodles? Yes pls!Noody is located in that weird passageway through Durant and Bancroft. Tough to park in this area with the constant food delivery drivers, so I typically park wherever I can on Bancroft and walk. Between the hot pink neon sign and the aroma of fried chicken wafting throughout, you can't miss it.Staff here are super nice and accommodate any food adjustments, with orders out within 10 mins. They're generous with the fresh toppings and really stack on the protein. I usually stick to their signature bowls, but they have a fun build-your-own option as well. For $15, it's not a bad deal for the amount of creativity in each bowl.
