Noodles near Chula Vista, CA

“Love you food! The dumplings are perfect! The Dan Dan noodles are a family favorite and I can’t get enough of the chili wonton! Love you guys!“

“Teriyaki chicken and The Spicy Ramen was delicious!!!“

“I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the service I received during my recent visit to your restaurant.

One of the waitresses was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout my interaction with her. Additionally, I requested a few slices of lemon, and later noticed that I was charged for them without being informed there would be an additional cost. I found this practice both misleading and discourteous.“

“We ordered the pork egg rolls. They were delicious 😋. Just be aware that there’s a dated menu on Google with prices listed as $7.65 for 6 pieces and a second updated menu on their actual website with a price listed as $10.95 for 6 pieces.“

“I have been coming to this Chinese Restaurants for as long as I can remember. Their food has always been delicious but their customer service was definitely not there. Because of this, I previously gave them a one star. The staff were always rude and their phone line was basically non operational. I continued to have takeout or eat at the restaurant despite this because they sell the best salt and pepper chicken wings in San Diego. Seriously, they are a must try. I'm not sure what changed but I've noticed the staff are much nicer now. These are the same folks that have been running the place for years. The food tastes better when the workers are nice and constantly checking if you need anything. It is so much better than having grumpy staff around. Overall, there has been significant improvement in customer service. The palace also feels homier and parking is not bad.“

“good food and awesome customer service“

“We came here last night to celebrate my wife's birthday with our son, and the three of us had an absolutely wonderful dinner. The food was completely off the charts, and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back! Much Thanks to Kendra, Chef Tony and the entire staff!“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“we just moved to the neighborhood...the crab fried rice was sooooo yummy .“

“For noodle purists and seekers of authentic regional comfort, finding a bowl that truly transports you can be a lifelong pursuit. Having traversed the bustling noodle alleys of Shanghai and sampled celebrated destinations like Magic Noodle in Las Vegas, my standards for handmade noodles are exacting. Yet, nestled right here in the heart of San Diego, Noodle and Bun has effortlessly claimed a spot among the very best in the country.
The Star of the Menu: Spicy Beef Brisket Noodle
The crown jewel of the meal was undoubtedly the Spicy Beef Brisket Noodle paired with house-made knife-cut noodles. The texture of the noodles is a testament to true artisanal craftsmanship—chewy, robust, and possessing that ideal rustic variance that only skilled hand-cutting can achieve.
What truly elevates the dish, however, is the masterclass in spice balance. Too often, stateside Sichuan-inspired noodle houses lean too heavily on Sichuan peppercorns, rendering your palate completely numb after just a few bites. Here, the kitchen demonstrates remarkable restraint and precision: the peppercorn profile is aromatic and vibrant, enhancing the rich, tender beef brisket without overwhelming the senses. It is a masterclass in flavor equilibrium.
A Minor Misstep: The Xiao Bao
No dining experience is entirely without flaw. The Xiao Bao arrived slightly overcooked—likely a casualty of a bustling, high-volume evening service. However, even with the structural compromise from a bit too much time in the heat, the quality of the ingredients could not be masked. The filling tasted undeniably fresh, and each bite remained impressively juicy, hinting at a very capable kitchen even when running under pressure.
Service and Practicalities
* Service: Attentive, welcoming, and efficient. The front-of-house team manages the rush with grace, keeping the energy upbeat.
* Parking: As expected for the vibrant Fourth Avenue corridor in downtown San Diego, parking is a formidable challenge. Be prepared to circle for street parking or utilize nearby paid garages.
The Verdict
Noodle and Bun delivers where it matters most: extraordinary, authentic noodle-making that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with international heavyweights. Minor kitchen hiccups aside, this is an essential destination for anyone who appreciates the soul of hand-crafted pasta.“

“Enjoy the pho 🍜 at this restaurant is very delicious 🤤“

“The ramen is delicious, but if you're thinking of adding on broccolini skip it. They charge $1 for literally the smallest piece I've ever seen and when I called to voice my concern about feeling ripped off, they didn't care. I feel like if you're paying $20 for a bowl of ramen you should get what you pay for“

“My order was for takeout....and it was ready right on time. Everything was absolutely delicious and prices were good! The Satay chicken was tender and flavorful....Pad Woon Sen was fresh and light with crispy vegetables. Cream cheese wontons were great and served as dessert. The portions were generous with plenty left over for a second meal. Pretty sure Little Thai Kitchen is now my favorite Thai food spot!😊“

“the service is great and fast plus the food is awesome 👌 💯“

“Great party food for quick pickup. Terrific menu variety and flavors. Highly recommend! A+“

“Vegan ramen is amazing! Went there twice during my trip down there! Highly recommend!“

“When it’s cold and rainy or you just want some hot food to warm you up or test if you’s taste still works!!! Best place to be“

“This restaurant came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I tried the Roast Duck Noodle Soup and Walnut Shrimp. The duck was really delicious with a very nice broth. Every bite was a delight. I enjoyed the shrimp - plump and juicy with a lightly citrus white sauce and roasted walnuts. I would order it again, but there are a lot of items on their extensive menu that I would also like to try. Very nice, low key service. Clean and pleasant dining room.“

“Excellent 🍲 Pho, the spring rolls are very good. The place is small but very cozy.“

“Amazing food while we were visiting the area. Best service and the food presentation was perfection. Portions and pricing are both outstanding. 10/10 recommend.“

“OMG !!!!
Who thought of this idea for a curry dish…??!!!
SOOOOO FREAKING DELICIOUS
THE “GOLDEN CRUNCH CURRY UDON” is the best ‘curry dish’ I’ve EVER HAD !!!!
Happy TUMMY 😊“

“It was good“

“The food is great! But the girl at the counter needs lessons in customer service and also an attitude adjustment. This is the only reason that deters me from going there more often.“

“Probably the most affordable stall in the food court, for the amount of fried rice you get it's congruent to the price point, unlike other places that are pretty pricey but smaller portions than expected. The thai milk tea is pretty frickin pricey.

Crab rangoon roll is exactly what it is, I was impressed with how it stayed crispy throughout its length. Its pretty monoflavored though, so the sweet and sour sauce helped me finish it. Recommend splitting it with two people.

Fried rice was surprisingly delicious and ridiculously huge. It was like the second cheapest option on the menu and I'm pretty sure there was curry powder. You can adjust the spice level and I liked that it came with fresh cucumber garnish.

If I ever find myself back in Liberty Station and im starving, this would be my go to, that rice lasted me the whole day.“

“Fried chicken was delicious and fried noodles.“

“Was in the San Diego area craving some drunken noodles (Pad Kee Mao or Mow) and asked Google to help me find one close.

The ordering process went smoothly as I looked at the website and called in my order.

Picking up was ok. It is a little house that has been converted into this restaurant and I walked right past it. When you go, look for the little yellow house that is set back a little bit from the street.

As I was paying for my meal, I asked if there were any Yelp discounts. He said no discounts and it is a 3% fee to use your credit card.

The Panang Curry was amazing. Lots of flavor. Perfectly cooked rice and they go together so well. Great consistency, plenty of carrots with come chicken (that was my chosen protein) and other veggies. I was surprised that when I opened the curry, it was still piping hot. And they wrapped the container in plastic wrap in addition to the cover being on it. Love when restaurants do that as it decreases the chance of spills.

The drunken noodles was what I was craving to begin with and I found out lacking. Not much flavor and to be honest, I was hoping to have had some Thai Basil in it. To be fair, it didn't mention that on their menu. It just adds so much flavor and without it, it is too bland for me. I'm also accustomed to much more saucy noodles and these are very dry. When I have leftovers, I will add some Huy Fong Sambal Oelek Chili Paste.

Over all, I would go again. However, I'll stick with the curry next time.“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“Classic..................“

“Friendly and fast. The food was great!“

“The food is great and this place is an institution. I’m mainly leaving a review here because someone left a review saying they found “cartilage” in their noodle dish… those pieces in the picture are clearly squid. The person who ordered must never have seen squid before.“

“The food was delicious. The music and the vibe of the place was amazing. The staff was attentive and on point!“

“The cook is a great guy. My man been going alot of years and he introduced me to the place. Not really a sit and eat type but I love the vegetables they have. The pricing for the salt and pepper wings is great &he runs specials like 2 get 1 free. When I’m feeding a lot of people it’s my go to place.“

“🙂👍 Kai and her staff are awesome and do a great job!“

“Loved the vibe in the restaurant! The food was so delicious, fresh and fast. We barely waited any time at all for the food. Good portions as well! We will definitely go back before we leave San Diego.“

“Love Saffron. Great place in the neighborhood!“
