Marco & James are amazing. They were equally attentive to my family as they were their task. Pure gold. Thank you!

They have a rice plate that includes two types of meats plus a fried egg. And big shrimp. The meats are marinated and served with this wonderful fish sauce that they make. The food is very good.Wheelchair accessibility: There is this ramp that takes you to the place.

Food was actually really good, and the customer service was helpful and nice asking if we needed anything.

The service was appalling at best. The restaurant didn't receive our online orders. So when we went to pick the two orders up, they had no idea we had even ordered our food. The food was okay. I think they must have new owners.

Poor service, poor knowledge about running a business.Never ever ever stop and eat in this restaurant.

The Noodle Palace in Carmel Barnyard is my go-to whenever I need a warming, soothing bowl of soup on a cold day! My family and I love the Vegetarian Pho soup, and the Fresh Rolls with Tofu are delicious as well! The owner, John, is so friendly and welcoming, and makes it very easy to call in an order to-go when I need to just bring something home after work. Delicious, quick, and healthy food provided by a kind and upbeat owner - what more could you ask for!?!

I usually don't write reviews but I had to with this place, by far the worst service ever after waiting about 20 mins to order our food it took another 40 minutes to get our food, 40 min is a bit to long for 1 bowl of pho and a sampler plate, I can understand waiting 40 mins if the place was busy however it was NOT 1 group of 5 that was already eating when we got in the restaurant and we still had to wait over half an hour, then when it was time to pay for our lunch he ask what table number we was sitting in SMH keep in mind 1 other group was in the restaurant only.

Stopped in for lunch today, the food was mediocre at best. Ordered fried shrimp appetizer that consisted of 6 tiny breaded shrimp-they tasted like any frozen type you buy from the freezer section. A friend and I shared a #21 Soup, the waitress did not deliver in two bowls for us although we told her we were sharing. The soup was nothing special-no lime or bean sprouts were provided. Waitress never checked with us during the meal. After we asked for the check she plopped down a credit card reader and walked away.? We won't ever be eating here again. Oh-the tab was $45.00.The two stars are for the fact that it was freezing in the restaurant and they did provide us with a portable heater at our table. That was nice.

Place was understaffed, only had one guy, serving, hosting and busting tables out in front. It wasn't that busy but because he was the only one, it felt like the restaurant was popping. I was understanding though and the waiter was patient and polite, I felt though at times there was no sense of urgency. Food was great though but it took awhile for it to come out as well. So I'm wondering if there was a shortage in the kitchen as well with staff. There was an awkwardness though in environment. Only because when my friends and I weren't talking, there was no music! Even elevator music would have made it more warm and inviting. Overall it was an okay experience.

Had a wonderful dinner. The pho was delicious and the staff was very kind.
Oh my deliciousness - if you want to crave the same thing for lunch everyday, try the fresh tofu spring rolls here! The flavors and textures are perfection with a surprise crunch that elevates them above all other spring rolls. I could eat them plain but the dipping sauce is also phenomenal.Once your mouth is sufficiently drooling, fill it with the amazing crispy tofu bahn mi sandwiches! I've never tasted tofu so soft on the inside but crispy on the outside. You can tell the bread is baked fresh per order with a delightful chewy center but outer crisp. And of course, it's not just about the texture, the flavors are also delicious!It is always a pleasure seeing the owner, John. He is super friendly and clearly cares very much about the quality of his food!If you are ordering the fresh baked sandwich, I would recommend putting your order in at least 35 minutes in advance as it does take some time to make it fresh! Enjoy!

This is the best Bahn Mi on the peninsula.Expect about 20 mins because they bake the bread when you order. It's fresh and crisp. The Veggies are a mix of fresh and pickled.My favorite is Grilled Pork + Egg. The Chicken is also very good.Recently grandma has been cooking in the back, and the food is even better. You will love the wok fried eggplant and tofu.The springs rolls and egg rolls are also excellent.Vegetarian options: Wok-fried eggplant with tofu. Excellent!

Came here on a weekday for lunch and it was pretty empty and quiet but the food was pretty good, the service was nice, and the veggies in my vermicelli bowl were pretty fresh! I will say the restaurant was pretty cold though, but that is probably because it wasn't during a peak time.

It has been pre-pandemic since I've been to the Noodle Palace. The giant Buddha has gone to another home the interior has been updated and the owner chef, John, Was on hand.The interior is in a soft gray, new decor perks up the space.I've been suffering from a cold with congestion and thought a little soup would do the trick.I had the crispy noodles with shrimp It's offered with grilled beef and chicken however I just chose the shrimp .Big pieces of shrimp completely cleaned chock-full of vegetables sliced thin cooked perfectly.My guest had the vermicelli with a spring roll in beef she thought it was fabulous.We had enough to take home for supper.John brought us both a bowl of chicken soup. I don't eat meat, however, my guest thought it was flavorful.I must say, I am disappointing that the Buddha was dismantled and taken away. I often thought they build the restaurant around him. When I asked John why he said I'm not a Buddhist and after calling several Buddhist temples, none of whom wanted this in Normas Buddha. John said he wasn't really a Buddha. He certainly had a jolly face though!This is worth seeking out
