A few friends and I stopped by for a late-night meal, but they had run out of some ingredients and were closing early. One of the owners explained kindly and let us order from a limited menu to-go. We sat at nearby public tables.
As we ate, the other owner came out, apologized that we couldn’t dine in, and offered us complimentary Thai tea—which was amazing! Her kindness truly made our night.
The food was excellent, and we’re looking forward to coming back for the full experience. Highly recommended!

This is my second review on google ever. I’m posting this because the greater South Bend area needs to support these folks.
The food here is the best Thai I’ve had in a long time.
I grew up eating great Thai food in Southern California and moved to the area 8 years ago. I don’t trust food reviews of locals because I’ve been let down so many times. It’s not your fault! You didn’t know what to compare to. Now you do.
There is a new couple cooking here (possibly soon to be new owners) that are doing it right! First off, there’s only Thai food on the menu. A good sign.
We ordered papaya salad, green curry, pad kee mao (drunken noodles) and taro sticky rice in banana leaf for dessert. Everything was fresh and flavorful (kefir lime, fish sauce, chilis). The curry was done so well (the coconut milk was creamy and not split from the oil like other places tend to be). The Pad Kee Mao wasn’t fried, thankfully. The noodles were chewy yet soft. I could go into so many more details, but if you’ve found this interesting at all, you should go. If you’re open to tasting what Thai food actually tastes like, then you’ll probably love it.
It may feel like slow service, but they are waiting on you /and/ cooking. It’s worth the wait. Honestly, it’s not that long. We also came in at 9pm and were their last customers.
I listed it as $20-30 per person if you’re doing the whole dinner works. You can get away with $10-20 if you’re keeping it simple.
Admittedly, I keep missing out on Taste of Asia’s open hours and Pinellia is my go to vegan Asian place. So no shade on those places.

This place has the best Thai food in town, super yummy, good portions and great price. However, they are never open and their website does not accurately reflect when they are actually in the building. On multiple occasions we have checked online to make sure they are open and have been super disappointed by the closed sign on the door. When they are open and ready for business, they are a family favorite

Cleaned their windows and was given some of the chicken egg rolls. Those alone are worth 5 stars

Wow! This beef noodle soup was amazing. Great beef broth flavor! Even better than the local Pho place I've had before. I will be coming back. These are new owners who sure know how to cook! Delicious!

I tried Noodle Alley for the first time yesterday, and I loved it. I have had a hard time finding a good Thai restaurant after I moved from Chicago to SW Michigan. I got the Green Curry, and it's some of the best I have had. I will be back soon to try more dishes!
They had great service and very friendly staff. The food was absolutely amazing. We will definitely return agian!

I ordered the Chicken Fried rice thru DineIn on 2/9 and thought I received the wrong order as there were no vegetables at all, different rice and raisens in the order. I contacted DineIn and they told me it is under new ownership now and they are making their dishes differently but the menu on DineIn reads the same. Excellent restaurant GONE!!

This used to be our favorite restaurant, but I think they’ve changed owners. The best part about the “old” Noodle Alley was that everything always tasted extremely fresh. On our last visit there, everything was very different. The chicken texture was questionable and the vegetables tasted as if they came from the freezer. I ordered the ginger stir fry, and couldn’t taste any ginger or any other kind of spices or flavor. My mom had chicken fried rice, which also had no flavor. There was another table in the restaurant and they were receiving a lot of attention, as their server was bringing them samples and chatting with them, but we did not receive the same kind of service. Hopefully they were getting feedback, and will continue to work on the recipes. Would like to give them another chance because I used to love this place.
